One thing I am interested in doing that I have not yet had a chance to actually do is install better firmware on my Linksys WRT54GL router. I do keep on the lookout for information about doing so and spotted the following writeups about it over at http://planet.debian.net:

• http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/blog/entry/setting-up-openwrt-on-the-wrt54gl/

• http://www.aigarius.com/blog/2010/03/07/linuksys-wrt54gl/

More information regarding Debian package format v3.0:

• http://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0

Some messages that are part of a long thread regarding the format:

• It was noted in, for instance, http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/02/msg00533.html regarding a script that can be used for the initial conversion from dpatch to quilt. That message is also part of a long thread regarding the format.

• It was noted in http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/02/msg00551.html regarding being able to use a debian directory from upstream

A couple of write up I found, regarding converting a Debian package from using dpatch to using quilt:

• Example write up of simple conversion of dpatch to quilt - http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-devel@lists.debian.org/msg256212.html

• Another writeup of converting from dpatch to quilt - http://blog.orebokech.com/2007/08/converting-debian-packages-from-dpatch.html

The following are links to information about using KVM (Linux Kernal VM) for hosting an MS Windows VM installation:

Peter Krefting had a news item [1] back in July that Johan Billing had resurrected the CrashMail and JamNNTPd sites on bitbucket.org. Checked and found that he also now has sites and associated mercurial repositories for JAM.pm and jamlib as well:
