collectd 4.3.0 uploaded to unstable

Yesterday, collectd 4.3.0-1 has been uploaded to Debian unstable. The most important changes since 3.x are (in chronological order):

the much improved plugin infrastructure offers a lot more flexibility

the much improved networking code offers a lot more flexibility

the new bindings to Perl allow plugins to be written in the scripting language Perl

the new unixsock and exec plugins allow external programs to communicate with the daemon and submit data

integration with Nagios has been implemented

support for flexible intervals has been added

support to read values from SNMP enabled devices has been added

basic support for monitoring has been added

many new plugins

See the changelog for details.

About collectd:
collectd is a small daemon which collects system information periodically and provides mechanisms to monitor and store the values in a variety of ways. It is written in C for performance. Since the daemon doesn't need to startup every time it wants to update the values it's very fast and easy on the system and allows very fine-grained statistics.

Upgraded my laptop from Sarge to Etch

I just upgraded the Sarge system on my laptop to Etch. As I was using all kinds of selfpackaged and -backported packages from all kinds of sources a couple of minor dependency problems arised. Besides that, the upgrade went very smooth though and I did not recognize any problems so far. Good job Debian people! :-)

Debian Repository cleanup

I've just cleaned up and updated my Debian backports repository. The firefox1.5, mysql5, php5 and signing-party packages have been removed as they can be found on backports.org, now. The fglrx package has been added. Each of my backports has the Debian revision number decreased by one and the string "tokkee" and my own revision number added to it (similar to the way backports.org is handling this). The kismet and rrdtool packages are available in current versions in testing now, so I removed my self-packaged versions and added backports.

Backporteted PHP5 and MySQL5

Since we need these packages at work, I've created backports for Sarge of the PHP5 and MySQL5 packages. They are available from my Debian repository.
