Zugschlus

Marc "Zugschlus" Haber

Zugschluß is the German word for a train's tail signal which plays an important role in railroad safety systems. With its 8bit char removed and truncated to ["IRCnet"]'s 9 character limit, Zugschlus has become my nickname for most of my network related activities since 2000.

I am a DebianDeveloper since 2001. Besides being maintainer for a number of unimportant packages, I am co-maintainer for [http://packages.debian.org/adduser adduser], the script Debian uses to create user accounts, and [http://pkg-exim4.alioth.debian.org exim4], the default MTA for Debian sarge.

Take a look at my [http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=Marc+Haber Packages Overview]

How to reach me

http://www.zugschlus.de/ is my [http://www.zugschlus.de/ home page], and you can reach me using one of the following ways:

Zugschlus' Helper Scripts

I intend to publish some of my helper scripts that are too small to form a "real" Debian package here real soon now.

  • package-pool-helper, a collection of easy scripts that are used to manage a local package pool
  • makekernel, a collection of scripts to build Linux kernels using Debian's kernel-package with some bells and whistles including automatic module packages build and dependency helpers that allow automatic upgrades even across kernel versions.
  • debinterdiff, a script which builds an interdiff between the last two versions of a source package. This script is quite helpful in managing backports.
  • chroot-helper, a collection of scripts that are helpful in working with chroots for package development, building and testing.

  • [wiki:EditChanges editchanges], a script that allows editing the local changelog of the system with some safety and auditing bells and whistles.

  • The Zg2ShellStartup page shows some useful things I have implemented in my shell startup files to make things easier. That includes a scheme to easily build the appropriate contents of ~/.ssh automatically.

Zugschlus' Nifty Admin Tricks

This future page will contain a list of the admin tricks I use on my server systems to easy my daily work. The following list gives an overview about what will be described here RSN.

  • cron-apt
  • checkrestart
  • apt-listchanges
  • apt-listbugs
  • aide
  • sshd configuration
  • installation
  • LVM
  • using policy-rc.d to stop freshly installed packages from starting their daemons immediately
