Repository watcher back online

The repository watcher is back online. A rss-feed also available. Sources for watcher, Trac macro and rssfeed are available.

The rss script also supports listing only single repository, for example: maemo-hackers.org.

Many of the timestamps are totally wrong, but the situation should improve over time.

dropbear-server

Thanks to pwille on #maemo and to Yoram Last, the dropbear-server package now starts up after desktop and uses /dev/urandom as (pseudo) random source. The server now stars after desktop too.

Using /dev/urandom may have some security issues, but there simply seems to be not enough entropy to start up the daemon using real random.

Removing tooltips on osso-xterm tabs

tigert pointed to me that tooltips in osso-xterm's tabs are sometimes annoying. As tooltips on touchscreen aren't usually what you want, I removed them totally. The bad thing is, that you don't have a way of seeing the whole title of a tab, but it rarely is needed anyway. The change is in osso-xterm 0.13.mh21.
