A slight cockup during my planned update of Olex2, Olex2-gui and CCTBX has sadly left the repo without any archived versions! Sorry. I’ve replaced 10, 11, 12, 13 and Centos with the latest 1.1 version, the CCTBX and I am in the process of doing the same for Fedora 8 (Linpus support). However this will leave 9 users stuck – sorry I am a muppet and expect to get a telling off by Pascal.
All of the updates are being placed into repo-test as I have been experimenting with the userspace update scripts. This may eat your Olex2! Report it to TRAC if it does.
Two new things today:
I replaced trac with redmine. It’s in ruby and quite tricky to install on Centos but I recently found a nice tutorial (Redmine on Centos [fr]). So here is the link: http://redmine.debroglie.net.
I just set up a planet on Debroglie after some discussions on the x-ray forum and John. If you have a rss feed for your software, blog, website… You can register as long as it’s talking about crystallography. The link is: http://planet.debroglie.net.
Ok, so the planet has stalled slightly because the simplepie feed catcher is running out of puff on the cron process and getting killed.
Platon has been updated and all good and there is now a new cctbx in the testing repo.
Enjoy
Debroglie had a hardware failure yesterday evening. The motherboard has been changed and Debroglie is running again. So far I have not seen any data loss.

This announcement is a reminder that as of 2009-12-17, Fedora 10 has
reached its end of life for updates.[1]
Debroglie will continue to ship updates for fedora 10 for a little while as statistics reveal some activity on the repo. Please send an email or post a comment to confirm, so we won’t close it.

Need to figure this one out still have Olex2 issue?
Olex2 will be missing from the update. The rest are moving now.
Ok, Pascal is going to shout at me and that is ok. I’ve not been posting my updates to the repo so things are not really up 2 date here. Sorry.
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve posted:
Two new CCTBX to the testing repo;
A new Platon release;
A new package Moliso to the testing repo + two updates for it;
A chemistry fonts rpm to the testing repo and an update for it; and
A fixed rpy1 release to the FC11 testing repo
With that in mind I’ve had no feedback good or bad in that respect.
In the pipeline with the latest Beta release of Olex2 will be a new set of RPMs to follow the Alpha, Beta, Stable model they are using. We will have the good, the bad and the ugly or the bad and the ugly and the normal if you want. This means that all three versions can be installed at the same time for testing but the alpha and beta will live solely in the test-repo only the stable will exist in the release repo. Hopefully that will work?
Fedora 12 repository is finally open. If you are knew, in order to use debroglie, just install the debroglie-release rpm as specified in: Setup the repository link.
MolIso has been (is being) added to the testing-repo. For all distributions. Here is the blurb:
Moliso is a program to generate color mapped transparent 3D iso-surfaces from experimental XD grid and gaussian cube files.
Features
* Correct transparency mode
* Isosurfaces with adjustable colour gradient.
* Atomic displacement ellipsoids (ADP’s) with xd.res-/xd.mas- or *cif-files.
* Line, point and filling mode.
* Easy to control via menu, mouse, keyboard and ini-file
* Easy to create screenshots(*.ppm)
* Easy to create rotating videos (*.avi) in various codecs (vfw)(Windows Version only).
* Experimental resolution independet *.PDF file export.
* XD grid files and gaussian cube files can be used.
* Constrainable colour gradient.
* Sphere maping for pseudo reflection.
* Windows and LINUX-versions are avaiable.

Next planned release will have some examples bundled too. Let me know how it runs using the trac and comment system.
Ok, so with no feedback to the contrary I’m working on the premiss that the latest test Olex2 is stable and happy and all is good with the world. My tests seem to show that it is so I am now in the process of committing it to be in the release repo. Along with this goes the latest CCTBX and the GUI. What fun.
I’ve also cleaned out loads of the Platons we have acquired over the past few months and of course uploaded the latest new version. There should even be Fedora 12 versions of all this stuff! I’m working on also porting all the existing Fedora 11 stuff into 12 that should happen by the end of today – as I only have bandwidth for today.
