Deploy windows software easilly

I’ve found a very interesting project recently. WPKG.
The idea is very simple: a script is executed by windows scripting host. It reads host description, defines needed package set using profiles and installs, updates or removes packages using package descriptions.

Sudo in windows world

Sometimes it’s necesarry to allow a windows user perform a privileged task. *nix world has ‘sudo’. The cloneof sudo in windows is called … sudowin. Or sudown. Or winsudo.

Isn’t it strange to have three different clones of the same programm?

After some time Epson Stylus Color 1520 in our bureau started to fail. The printout is either staggered or fails and LEDs for “Cover Open” and “Pause” starts to flash. User’s manual says “The print heads were moved by hand”.

Stuck with apt in Debian?

So so …


W: GPG error: [your favourite mirror here] Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 010908312D230C5F
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Ever met this is last days?
The solution is simple, but not well documented well:
you must add these keys manually (as root or using sudo):

gpg --recv-keys 07DC563D1F41B907 && gpg --export 07DC563D1F41B907 | sudo apt-key add -
gpg --recv-keys 010908312D230C5F && gpg --export 010908312D230C5F | sudo apt-key add -

or in the case you do no use GnuPG

wget http://ftp-master.debian.org/ziyi_key_2006.asc -O - | sudo apt-key add -

That’s all.
