Over the last week, I have observed a large amount of anti-Clark story postings on the Drudge Report. This is, of course, to be expected-- not only from someone like Drudge, but just in general given the prominence of Clark's rapid rise.

However, this evening, Drudge added the following red headline: "General Clark's Campaign Website 'Issues Area' -- Is Empty!"

The link pointed here. This, I cannot understand. Drudge has pointed his site to a temp page on Clark's site which in no way indicates that it is an issues page. In fact, there is no link to an issues section on Clark's site. Regardless, I find this to be shamefully unprofessional of Matt Drudge. In effect, he has invented a headline to Clark's detriment. Muck-raker!

DKMS 0.37.04 is now available (tarball or RPM):

* Changed PATCH directives to an array based system. All patch filenames should be given in the PATCH[#] array. If the patch should only be applied when building for certain kernels, then a corresponding regular expression should now be placed in the PATCH_MATCH[#] array which matches against those kernels. This new array system is not only cleaner, but allows matching against regular expressions (ala egrep) whereas the old system was limited to substring matches. If no corresponding entry is found in PATCH_MATCH, then the patch will automatically be applied.

* Changed MAKE directives to an array based system. The default make command should now be specified in MAKE[0]. All other MAKE directives should fill out this array and will only be used if their corresponding regular expression in the MAKE_MATCH[#] array matches against the kernel being built for.

* Changed the MODULES_CONF directive to an array based system.

* Fixed known-filename exploit issues in invoke_command (thanks to Oron Peled: oron () mail ! artcom ! co ! il ).

* Changed autoinstaller bootup priority from 08 to 04.
