Our web site also contains other information such as: test results, a Linux test tools matrix, an area for keeping up with fixes for known blocking problems in the 2.5 kernel releases, technical papers and HowTos on Linux testing, and a code coverage analysis tool. Lists of test cases that are expected to fail for specific architectures and kernels are located at: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/expected-errors.php These lists also contain expected LTP compiler warnings for each architecture and kernel. Highlights: * An updated and revised HowTo is now posted on the website. * Updates to allow build and execution in NPTL environments. * Open POSIX Test Suite 0.9.0 merged into test suite. * New 'ltpmenu' ncurses-type GUI available. * New tests added for device mapper, sockets, and 2.5 timers.

Tcllib 1.4.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=275116
tcllib is a Tcl-only library of standard routines for Tcl (no compiling required). This release is a minor version change which fixes numerous bugs and provides a lot of enhancements as well. Tcllib 1.4 release
notes ======================== Hello World, welcome to Tcllib 1.4. This
release is a minor version change which fixes numerous bugs and
provides a lot of enhancements as well. Availability ------------ The
released distributions can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12883&release_id=
157517 Available are gzipped, zipped, and bzipped tarballs, a starkit,
and a starpack for windows. Installation ------------ * For the starkit
and starpack just execute the file and a GUI based installer will pop
up. Fill out the paths, then run the installation. * For the tarballs
unpack them in some directory /foo, then run the file
"/foo/installer.tcl". This will invoke the same installer used in the
starkit and starpack. Note: While the installer will open up a GUI by
default (and if possible), a command line based installation is
provided too. Run the installer with the option "-help" to see what is
available. Known problems -------------- * When using Tcllib 1.4 on a
true 64bit platform, like Linux/Alpha, or Linux/IA-64 the usage of Tcl
8.4.x is strongly recommended. * Package mime, SourceForge Tcllib Bug
#447037 A special case of the above. This problem affects only people
which are using Tcl and Mime on a true 64-bit system. The currently
recommended fix for this problem is to upgrade to Tcl version 8.4. This
version has extended 64 bit support and the bug does not appear
anymore. The problem could have been generally solved by requiring the
use of Tcl 8.4 for this package. We decided against this solution as it
would force a large number of unaffected users to upgrade their Tcl
interpreter for no reason. See
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=447037&group_id=12883&a tid=112883 for additional information.

Job Chances for Older Coders?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/09/1939241
emtboy9 asks: "As the semester winds to a close, exams fall upon us students once again. Today, outside of one of my programming classes, I overheard a conversation between a pair of middle aged women about programming degrees (which they are involved in), and this made me wonder. With the job market in IT being as pathetic as it is, what are the real-world chances of someone who is taking a programming course getting a job. In the places I have worked, all the coders were fairly young. So the question is, what are the chances for an older person, who is just now learning programming to get a job in that field?" Ask Slashdot last touched on this topic back [0]in February of 2001. In the intervening two years, have things gotten worse or better for those who have been in the industry for a long time? Links

Surviving Tornadoes

SharkJumper writes "We here in central Oklahoma, USA are just climbing out of the wreckage of [0]another series of tornadoes. Unlike the [1]tornadoes of May 3rd, 1999, which killed 47 and injured more than 800, we now have much better tornado [2]information and prediction technology. Largely because of this, there have been far fewer injuries, and (as of this morning) no reported deaths. Here in the greater Oklahoma City area, we can even [3]register our storm shelters with the city. After a severe storm, GIS technology is used to create a map for rescuers detailing location and type of the shelter as well as emergency contact information. Rescuers can then use these maps to search for survivors that may be trapped by debris in their shelters." Links
