gpg-update-key
If you are using GnuPG, you may receive new signatures or do other changes to your
GPG key and want to upload it to keyservers and/or your webserver to make it easier
for other people to find it.
Since this is a tedious task, I wrote a little script "gpg-update-key"
which does the job for me:
#!/bin/sh
KEY="CC03633F700990F2"
REMOTE_DIR="myserver.org:/var/www"
# upload the key to some key servers
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --send-key ${KEY}
gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --send-key ${KEY}
gpg --keyserver pgp.uni-mainz.de --send-key ${KEY}
gpg --keyserver pgp.surfnet.nl --send-key ${KEY}
# export the key
gpg --armor --export ${KEY} > /tmp/pub.asc
gpg --export ${KEY} > /tmp/pub.key
scp /tmp/pub.asc /tmp/pub.key ${REMOTE_DIR}
Note that you should change the KEY and REMOTE_DIR variables
otherwise the script won't help you that much :).
Also, the list of key servers to upload are just my personal
favourites. Adjust them to your needs.
Building SVN version of Xfce4
This is a little build script for Xfce4 to fetch and compile the sources from SVN.
Short instructions: You should start with an empty directory, where you put this script.
Edit the script and modify the list of packages or modules, you want to install.
Then run the script with:
./xfce4-build.sh init
this fetches the sources from the subversion servers and:
./xfce4-build.sh build
configures, builds and installs the sources. For more information read the script(it's really simple).
The script can be downloaded at http://files.uvena.de/xfce4-build.sh.
Show or hide the mouse cursor
hide_cursor.c is a small tool, to hide or show the mouse cursor
on an X display. The source code is based on a tool from Nevrax
(www.nevrax.com). To compile it, just type something like:
gcc -lXft hide_cursor.c -o hide_cursor
Run it with "hide" to hide the cursor:
./hide_cursor hide
Run it with "show" to show the cursor again:
./hide_cursor show
The source code can be downloaded at http://files.uvena.de/misc/hide_cursor.c.
