Quite surprisingly, I’ll attend the Chemnitzer Linuxtage 2010 in Eastern Germany. This is a happenstance, I managed to get fast transportation (via my boss) and accomodation (in a hotel). I will try to help staffing the booth of Debian this time (so I cannot be called Traitor any longer). Schedule, due to the spontaneousness of this, no, though. I may not even be there on Sunday, dunno… No RCBD (or night) though, some real life and a new release (with fix of an FTBFS-on-hurd-i386 bug) though: RMD160 (/MirOS/dist/mir/makefs/makefs-20100306.tar.gz) = f65bd8ef5cf3306a9112587dd4915b6255e479fe This version pulls in NetBSD® changes (Acorn Archimedes support, for one), but I’ve also coded support for boot-info-table (J�rg compatible), as well as setting the PVD dates (used by GNU GRUB 2 for “UUID”s). On MirBSD, cdio(1) can now be used to burn (TAO) and blank (quick) CD-RW media (I backported some OpenBSD changes) too.
The second Release Candidate build for the FreeBSD-7.3 release cycle is now available. ISO images for Tier-1 architectures are now available on most of the FreeBSD mirror sites.
The Command-Line Interface for the KDE Wallet, Version 2.02, has been released and dput into Debian unstable. (The lenny-backports version will follow.) It took me quite a while to reproduce, then track down, the bug; having unrelated problems at the same time didn’t help either…
We will be having a half day training session on pfSense 2.0 at BSDCan 2010. It will cover as many of the changes in the 2.0 release as time permits. The schedule is not available yet, however registration is open. The full schedule will be available soon. BSDCan is always a great conference, and we look forward to meeting many of you there. For those who can’t make it, we will be doing the same training session online sometime after BSDCan.
The NetBSD project is pleased to welcome the following new developers: Constantine A. Murenin (login: cnst), who will be working on sysmon, envsys and kernel. Daniel Horecki (login: morr), who will be working on the NetBSD Packages Collection and pl mirror.
I'm trying to get the mports tree back in line as it used to be. I just indexed a magus run. It will be the first since January 24th. Several fetch errors and dependancies have been fixed since the last run. It will be interesting. This does not use the new "jail" index setup that the January run went on. I haven't had time to set that back up on the new server yet. A few failures may be the result of that, particluarly with perl related ports. We'll see.
