testrepository For a long time I’ve used Robert Collins’ testrepository (testr) to run tests in many of the projects I work on.

I’ve published a new tool called dissolve.

After cycling the Northcape 4000 (from Italy to northern Norway) last year, I signed up for the transcontinental race this year.

I’ve recently been working on porting some of my Python code to rust, both for performance reasons, and because of the strong typing in the language.

The Debian Janitor is an automated system that commits fixes for (minor) issues in Debian packages that can be fixed by software.

Background Silver-Platter makes it easier to publish automated changes to repositories.

Larger transitions in Debian are usually announced on e.g. debian-devel, but it’s harder to track the current status of all transitions.

After almost 20 years of service and upwards of 50.000km traveled, it’s finally time to retire my good old Batavus.

For a while now, I’ve been looking for a good way to stream music from my home music collection on my phone.

There are a lot of small changes that can be made to the Debian archive to increase the overall quality.

Making changes across the open source ecosystem is very hard; software is hosted on different platforms and in many different version control repositories.

Last month Martin, Vincent and I finally released version 3.0.0 of Breezy, a little over a year after we originally forked Bazaar.

With Debian packages now widely being maintained in Git repositories, there has been an uptick in the number of bulk changes made to Debian packages.

A couple of months ago, Martin and I announced a friendly fork of Bazaar, named Breezy.

For the last couple of years, I have self-hosted my calendar and address book data.

Portability has always been very important to Samba.

Distributed databases are hard.

For a while, I’ve been wanting to set up configuration management for my home network.

A whopping 5 years ago, LWN ran a story about distributed bug trackers.

Dear lazyweb, I’ve been reading about what the rest of the world seems to be calling “quantified self”.

“porcelain” is the term that is usually used in the Git world to refer to the user-facing parts.

Packt recently published a book on Version Control using Bazaar written by Janos Gyerik.

A while ago I migrated most of my packages from Bazaar to Git.

http://blog.fogcreek.com/kiln-harmony-internals-the-basics/ Nice to see that #Kiln is also using #Dulwich for some of its Git support.

Apparently ‘tis the season for major software releases.

For the last 7 years I’ve been involved in the Bazaar project.

This afternoon we released version 4.0.0 of Samba.

From LWN’s weekly edition: Documentation is the sort of thing that will never be great unless someone from outside contributes it (since the developers can never remember which parts are hard to understand).

Hello Internet.

This Friday will be my last day at Canonical.

The Samba team is once again participating in the Summer of Code this year.

During the last two days I hacked together a Bazaar module for Apache.

It’s been more than a month since the last status update on my Samba 4 work - much more than the two weeks I promised.

After Samba XP 2008 Andrew and I started keeping a wiki page with our bi-weekly goals and achievements for Samba 4.

Mumble is an open source, low-latency, high quality voice chat application that we’re using at Canonical, and which Samba has recently also adopted.

There’s more good news on the OpenChange front.
