I was getting the following errors:
WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
foo bar baz
Install these packages without verification [y/N]?

I struggled for a while to get this to work, and then gave up, but I finally got this sorted out

Firstly as the user running the mirror script:
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ~/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys

I needed to add the following keys:
16BA136C – Backports.org Archive Key
55BE302B – Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (5.0/lenny)
F42584E6 – Lenny Stable Release Key
55BE302B – Debian Archive Automatic Signing Key (5.0/lenny)
0C5A2783 – Medibuntu Packaging Team
1F41B907 – Christian Marillat
437D05B5 – Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key
6DFBCBAE – Sun Microsystems, Inc. (xVM VirtualBox archive signing key)
BBE55AB3 – Debian-Volatile Archive Automatic Signing Key (4.0/etch)

The Medibuntu key was a little strange to get as noted on this post: How To: Make Your Own Ubuntu Repository DVDs

Also removed the “–ignore-release-gpg” option from the scripts, this will at least warn me the next time something like this happens…

And then run the mirror scripts again and voila

I found this site, which had quite alot of info.

One tip I really liked was:

Cache-Friendly File Names

This is probably my favorite, and I use it on every site I work on. It allows me to update my javascript and css files in my visitors cache’s simply by naming them differently in the html, on the server they stay the same name. This rewrites all files for /zap/j/anything-anynumber.js to /zap/j/anything.js and /zap/c/anything-anynumber.css to /zap/c/anything.css

RewriteRule ^zap/(j|c)/([a-z]+)-([0-9]+)\.(js|css)$ /zap/$1/$2.$4 [L]

So now I have the following setup:

/etc/dnsmasq.conf

no-resolv
server=<DNSSERVER>
address=/.local/<DEVSERVERIP>
no-hosts

/etc/apache2/conf.d/multi_vhost (on the devserver)

# get the server name from the Host: header
UseCanonicalName Off

# this log format can be split per-virtual-host based on the first field
LogFormat "%V %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b" vcommon
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/vhost_access_log vcommon

# include the server name in the filenames used to satisfy requests
VirtualDocumentRoot /var/www/%0/

<Directory /var/www/>
 AllowOverride All
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
</Directory>

Apache requires the mod_vhost_alias module to be loaded.

And this is it, all that is needed now is to have a symlink/directory in /var/www/ with the name of the virtualhost pointing to the document root of the dev site.

EG: /var/www/test.local -> /home/<user>/Development/test/webroot/

So now no more editing multiple files, all I need is to create a symlink and sorted

P.S. I did find that the Avahi daemon was causing issues see Bug #80900…

To disable the Avahi daemon:

sudo invoke-rc.d avahi-daemon stop
sudo update-rc.d -f avahi-daemon remove

UPDATE: I needed to add the directory clause to multi_vhost as I needed to use .htaccess files
UPDATE 2: There was also an issue with mod_rewrite (Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error.) This was only happening to sites with a .htaccess. The solution was to add:

RewriteBase /

Now STFU :p

I now can’t wait till I get a new PC

Hopefully this helps others out there who don’t need/want windows, there are other alternatives: http://distrowatch.com

So I leave it to anyone who reads his, what should I do?

The GPS and Nokia maps isn’t too bad, managed to get me to a couple of places I needed to go, one annoying thing though is that sometimes it wants me to take an offramp and then an onramp to the same hiway… *weird*

Still need to try get this phone to sync with my PC, just havn’t really had the time to play with it…

I really like the touch screen, and the multiple”keyboards” pity they only in qwerty format… and too small to use like a pc keyboard…

Well overall I think it was a great choise, now to find some decent logging software so I can contribute to openstreetmaps.org

At home using iBust:

Speedtest Home

And at work using ADSL:

Speedtest Work

Both of these are supposed to be 1Mb/s lines (not 100% sure about work I think it’s actually a 4Mb/s line)

Just shows how bad the internet is here

Hopefully by 2010 as Telkom are advertising we will have better access…

First off, thank you and sorry Cecilia, I know that this has “messed” up the accounts

Offhand this is a fairly nice phone, just need to get used to it, will report more on it later…
