Debian desktop background/debian
Posted on 2004-01-19 by ivo :: /debian :: link
Most desktop backgrounds are way too bright for my taste, and the
ones focused on Debian are no exception. I created a simple and
dark image to
put on my desktop. You can see it in action in this screenshot.

Dependencies on libgnutls5/debian
Posted on 2004-01-16 by ivo :: /debian :: link
The number of packages that depend on libgnutls5 has
dropped considerably since the introduction of
libgnutls7. There are currently 22 binary packages
that depend on libgnutls5 in any architecture, and
only five source packages that have an explicit build dependency
on libgnutls5-dev.
The ultimate goal is to get libgnutls5 and
libopencdk4 out of sarge before it is released.
I am sending email to the maintainers of these packages, so
please, if you maintain one of these, change your build dependency
to libgnutls7-dev | libgnutls-dev.

gnutls10 1.0.4-1 finally uploaded/debian
Posted on 2004-01-14 by ivo :: /debian :: link
I have just uploaded gnutls10 1.0.4-1 in all its glory to
unstable. It contains new binary packages, so it'll take a while
before it shows up in incoming. Let's hope it's still in time to
get released with sarge…
The only thing that was keeping it is a solution to bug #224846. I was unable
to reproduce it for a while, until I found the culprit: it
turned out that the chroot that I'm using to build packages was
contaminated with latex2html and a few other tex-related
packages. Removing them made me able to fix it quickly.
Instead of rebuilding the documentation, I'm now just using the
upstream version of the postscript file.
For those who want to test it before it hits incoming, and I know
there are some of you who do, you can also get it from my package
archive.
Blosxom and RSS/debian
Posted on 2004-01-05 by ivo :: /debian :: link
For planet
Debian, this blog is being syndicated with others via RSS.
It appears that Blosxom
doesn't automatically add a release date+time (the
pubDate tag) to the RSS document. Mark Howard mailed me how to
fix this: in blosxom.cgi, find the line starting
with rss story in the __DATA__
section, and change it to (all on one line):
rss story <item>\n
<title>$title</title>\n
<pubDate>$dw, $da $mo $yr $ti:00 GMT</pubDate>\n
<link>$url/$yr/$mo_num/$da#$fn</link>\n
<description>$body</description>\n
</item>\n
