BDisk v3.02 has been released. With this version is mostly a fix that works around Arch’s decision to drop i686 support

The new change allows you to specify a mirror for each architecture (meaning once the archlinux32 project gets its act together, you’ll be able to use that for building the i686 image on the disk).

SHA-3! Yay! It’s much stronger than SHA-2 (sha256, sha384, sha512). The sha3 variants’ checksum even match the length of their sha2’s equivalent. However, as with most GNU userspace, you have tools like “sha512sum”. Where’s the “sha3-512sum”?

It’s …not. But it is available via rhash!

$ echo 'testfile' > testfile
$ for i in 224 256 384 512 ; do echo "SHA2 ${i}" ; eval sha${i}sum testfile ; echo "SHA3 ${i}" ; eval rhash --sha3-${i} testfile ; done

there have been a couple tweaks (mostly minor fixes) in my packages, but freeswitch has been bumped to 1.6.15 thanks to upstream’s release (thanks, aztec102 !).

bdisk:

• minor fixes- v3.00 release
  • maximizing the live env’s available memory
  • minor networking startup tweaks
• some documentation updates too

storcli:

• changed upstream source URL to freebsd mirror because storcli keeps changing hands. gorram it.

so python-gitpython was merged with python-git in the AUR.

i kept them separate because i thought python-git was pygit but apparently not!
