Hello!

This document talks about how to use MacPorts to make a macOS installer packages that will install multiple MacPorts ports onto a system.

MacPorts is a project which takes open-source software and builds it for macOS. It takes care of the work of identifying and patching any macOS-specific problems, working out how best to do the build, etc..

Normally, you install MacPorts on your local system, and use the Terminal to install ports (a port is an individual software offering). However, it is also possible to use MacPorts to build macOS installer packages (.pkg files). MacPorts can also bundle multiple ports into a single package (an .mpkg file), so you can install multiple ports in a single action. The ability to make .mpkg files is useful, because ports typically depend on other ports in order to function properly.

This document describes the process for making .mpkg files, so that you can distribute them to systems.

The following compares the output of several creative hash functions designed for human readability.

sha1's are merely used as arbitrary, longer, distributed input values.

I'm talking about this: http://stackoverflow.com/documentation/django

Compared to well written documentation, this kind of documentation is pretty bad. Yes, many projects have terrible documentation, and for them it might be an improvement, but for many that have good docs, this is a major step backwards.

Good documentation requires serious effort and organisation. It can't be achieved by throwing together lots of examples.

then
   echo "XMing is installed on Windows Filesystem, please ensure that it is running";

Christmas - 2015-12-25.

This is the monthly compiler release, the first to target the 6.c specification.

Will include notes about what the 6.c spec means; hopefully how to get an extracted copy; potentially just a reference to the roast repo.

There is no specific time planned for the release. Please be patient. Thank you.

In addition to the compiler release announcement we normally make, I'll repost the announcement for this release on the Advent calendar.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

• There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.
