xchroot has a new feature: It can mirror mounts into the root as well as out of the root while a chroot is in progress. This is achieved by forking a mirror-mountd process. Furthermore the code has been cleaned up to allow faster unmounts on exit, prettier printing with three message levels and an effective polling whether a sub-process has terminated on exit. Mounting the home directory into the root can now be done with a simple command line switch. As there have been done some bigger changes to xchroot, further testing is welcome.

Wir haben zwei neue Skripte veröffentlicht um das StandardAdreßbuchFormat VCF in Text, Html und ein Format für XGnokii zu konvertieren. Damit können die Kontaktdaten vom Smartphone auf ein altes Nokia-Handy exportiert oder zum Drucken aufbereitet werden.

confinedrv now implements a feature desired since long by the community: confining access rights to drives which have numbers in their name like /dev/nvm0e1. That way you do not need to link that drive node to an artificial name without numbers. The documentation has also been updated in order to tell that even -ro mounts change the underlying partition if not confined and that you should not mount a partition twice.

͏a̅tea has been extended for SNI (Server Name Indication). This is necessary to download from sites like elstel.org where one server hosts different domains each with its own certificate. The scripts in /DANE/ have also been extended to support SNI.
