Just updated to revision 26808 of Chromium today, and it supports printing now.

cupt is a new package manager written in Perl by Eugene V.

I have just switched to Chromium as my primary browser.

I just started working on a replacement for APT written in Vala and called APT2 (I know, the name could be better).

I forgot to write about this but I uploaded notify-osd to Debian some time ago which brings the passive notification bubbles known from Ubuntu.

The release of Python APT 0.7.92 is the first (pre-)release to introduce the new C++ bindings to create Python objects for almost every C++ object in the apt-pkg and apt-inst libraries.

Let’s kill CDBS and help debhelper 7 gain world domination!

Overall, having time-based freezes is a good idea.

As I promised, I released python-apt 0.7.91 today.

Today, I was testing Canonical’s new Ubuntu One service.

Well, I’m currently writing a PHP and SQL application at school, so here are some of my thoughts on the problems I encounter.

Python 3.1 is still in experimental, but python-apt already has a fully working Python 3 version.

So, I have started to port python-apt to Python 3.

I have just uploaded a version of python-apt 0.7.10 to unstable ( my first upload of python-apt, all previous uploads were done by Michael Vogt).

With version 0.7.9 “change has come” to python-apt, and I will tell you now what the new stuff is about: 1.

(This is a more or less a TODO list for my Debian packages and other stuff I’m working on) Already done New package: metatheme-gilouche Today I uploaded the new package metatheme-gilouche, which builds the binary package gnome-theme-gilouche.

Today, I wanted to shrink a partition by 5GB, and move it 5GB to the right.

Looking at the amd64 CD images of Lenny, I just saw that there is the package ‘gnome’ on disk 1, while some of its dependencies are on disk 2.

Much happened since the last time I wrote about debimg.

While most of the bindings are LGPL licensed, modules like pygst are licensed under the terms of the GPL-2+.

Viewing the statistics for my blog, I have come to some conclusions about what topics people are interested in.

Today, I want to present you some things I have asked myself and some ideas about them.

As I wrote Monday in “debimg core example”, I have an extended version which creates a repository.

The following example demonstrates the features of debimg core, and how it can be used to fetch a some packages.

Today, I have published the first pieces of debimg 0.1.

You can not use codenames for pinning packages to a specific release.

Well, I wrote** 2599 lines** of documentation.

News: http://bzr.debian.org/loggerhead/users/jak/python-apt/jak/revision/219 introduced again some new documentation. doc/source/apt/debfile.rst | 6 doc/source/apt_pkg/cache.rst | 540 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- doc/source/apt_pkg/index.rst | 24 +…

I have been working the whole week on python-apt and the result is the jak branch.

[as sent to deity@lists.debian.org] Hello, while hacking a bit on python-apt in the last days, I formulated some proposals which I want to present to you.

In the last months, I noticed that it was a bad decision to use XFS as my filesystem; and before I realized that ext3 was a bad choice as well.

After I tried OpenSolaris 2008.11, I also tried Fedora 10 and Ubuntu 8.10, each for almost one day.

The installation was fast and easy, comparable to the installation of Ubuntu.

If you use wordpress.com, and added a Gravatar, always use the Atom feeds for Planet installation.

I just uploaded a new upstream snapshot of aufs (another unionFS) to experimental.

14 months after applying for the NM process, I’m a Debian Developer.

I worked a bit with some Gentoo systems the last days and it was no fun.

The most important birthdays in the FLOSS world this year (where age mod 5 = 0): * **10 years: **Google (September), Open Source Initiative (February) * **15 years:** Debian, FreeBSD, NetBSD * **25 years:** GNU * **35 years:** Ian Murdock (April),…

I’m now an SPI contributing member.

On Monday, I joined Software in the Public Interest (SPI).

As promised, i have built a few development snapshots of the swfdec git branch for hardy.

After playing a bit with gst-launch, I found out that it can convert music files and keeps the tags.

After the trouble with swfdec and gstreamer, I found out the source of the issue (the fluendo mp3 plugin, see below), and can now use swfdec with gstreamer.

I created a version of swfdec 0.6.6 using mad and ffmpeg instead of gstreamer, because with gstreamer it failed to play multiple videos on youtube.com.

Well, you may have noticed that debimg 0.1 is still not released.

debimg 0.1 will be the first major milestone in the development of debimg.

Well, this is my second post about speed in Python.

Every time I receive an email at my ubuntu.com address, and respond to it, Evolution uses my jak@jak-linux.org e-mail address.

The work on the Ubuntu version of debimg has begun.

This is a summary of most of my activities since end of march.
