Development version 1.1 of Guidedog is available

Just a small announcement. Development version 1.1 of my little network routing configuration utility is up on my website for your testing pleasure. There is no new functionality. I've just ported it from KDE 3 and C++ to KDE4 and Python, saving it from ravages of bit-rot. It's a neat little utility and it would be a shame to let it get lost on the migration to KDE 4. It is also in Python now which should make the code a lot more accessible for contributors. If you've written a few shell scripts in the past, then your skills a probably high enough to hack on Guidedog and fix any bugs which show up.

My attention is spread across too many projects these days which slows down fixes and applying patches. So I've now put the guidedog source in KDE's subversion repository in the playground/network section. (/trunk/playground/network/guidedog/) This will hopefully take me out of the critical path for fixes and patches.

I've also got a mostly done port of Guarddog to KDE 4 and Python here too on my computer which I want to move into KDE's SVN one of these days.

double sweet

not only ported to kde4, but written in python now too! woooo!

the guide* apps have helped me "port" a few sys admins of the point-n-click variety to SMB Linux servers in the past, and i've found them useful myself.

can't wait to see these in kdesysadmin (or extragear?) someday =)

thanks Simon!
