First chironFS release

I received an email from Luis this week about the first release of Chironfs
It is a Fuse based filesystem. It’s main purpose is to guarantee filesystem availability using replication. But it isn’t a RAID implementation. RAID replicates DEVICES not FILESYSTEMS.

I updated my packages already. Get them from my OBS repository

RPM mania

This week I finally had the chance to put some packages into the openSUSE Build Service (http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service).

I’ve added the following packages:
- Unoconv (converts between any document format that OpenOffice understands)

- Tasks (a simple TODO list application)

- pam_shield (pam module to protect againts login attempts from hackers/kiddies)

- drupal (a popular CMS - still unfinished)

You can find all packages under http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/leo_eraly/openSUSE_Factory/

Try it out , all feedback is welcome.
