Hacking
Here’s my weekly report for week 42 of 2017. In this week I have replaced my spacebar, failed to replace a HDD and begun the process to replace my YubiKey.
Debian Eariler in the week I blogged about powerline-taskwarrior . There is a new upstream version available that includes the patches I had produced for Python 2 support and I have filed #879225 to remind me to package this.
The state of emscripten is still not great, and as I don’t have the time to chase this up and I certainly don’t have the time to fix it myself, I’ve converted the ITP for csdr to an RFP.
Here’s my weekly report for week 41 of 2017. In this week I have explored some Java 8 features, looked at automatic updates in a few Linux distributions and decided that actually I don’t need swap anymore.
Debian The issue that was preventing the migration of the Tasktools Packaging Team’s mailing list from Alioth to Savannah has now been resolved.
Ana’s chkservice package that I sponsored last week has been ACCEPTED into unstable and since MIGRATED to testing.
Here’s my weekly report for week 40 of 2017. In this week I have looked at censorship in Catalonia and had my “deleted” Facebook account hacked (which made HN front page). I’ve also been thinking about DRM on the web.
Debian I have prepared and uploaded fixes for the measurement-kit and hamradio-maintguide packages.
I have also sponsored uploads for gnustep-base (to experimental) and chkservice.
I have given DM upload privileges to Eric Heintzmann for the gnustep-base package as he has shown to care for the GNUstep packages well.
