Tweetly Updater 1.2.1

I just released version 1.2.1 of Tweetly Updater. This release changes the way Tweetly distinguishes between new and edited posts, it now uses Post Status Transitions. A big ThankYou to user steevithak for the hint. This fix should also resolve problems with scheduled posts that were accidently posted to Twitter immediately.

Please see the project page for more information. You can download the release there or at the WordPress plugin directory.

Installing backup-manager with the s3 upload method on Debian/Ubuntu

michael — Sat, 10 Feb 2007 17:21:20 +0000

backup-manager is a simple and straightforward backup solution and Amazon S3 gives you reliable remote storage.

Since the backup-manager versions in Debian and Ubuntu are little bit outdated, I would recommend installing the 0.7.5 Release from the Website. While the installation of backup-manager is painless, getting the s3 part running a little bit tricky (and undocumented).
The s3 part of backup-manager is based on the Net::Amazon::S3 perl module and this needs the XML::LibXML::XPathContext module, which is, as far as I can see, not included in one of the libxml-*-perl packages in Debian or Ubuntu.

So, this procedure gives you all the needed dependencies:

sudo apt-get install libperl6-slurp-perl libxml2-dev
sudo cpan XML::LibXML
sudo cpan Net::Amazon::S3

Update: (14.06.07) Ubuntu feisty now contains the 7.5.3 version of backup-manager.
