As the release of version 0.15 of Merkaartor (a map editor for OpenStreetMap.org) is planned for the end of February, I’ve uploaded a svn snapshot based on revision 19956 to Debian experimental. Please test it and report bugs to the BTS as soon as possible, so I can triage and forward them to upstream. »
Yesterday I stumbled upon an interesting and broken behaviour of Django: Running two instances with the same memcached as cache backend might result in displaying the wrong template from the cache in case we have template files with the same name but a different content. This behaviour is also visible in all django applications which use the cache backend without taking care of settings.CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_KEY_PREFIX. As mentioned in the bug report a design decision is necessary here, as the setting was only supposed to be used in middlewares. »
Once there was a project called Debian and a Ganneff…. (unfortunately in German only….) 22:20 Das ist doch voll die Arbeit Maintainer zu werden :-). Ich geb gewünschte Pakete immer nur weiter an einen der da sowieso schon den Kernel betreut :-) 22:21 es is nur viel arbeit wenn du keinen schimmer hast 22:22 ja ich hab nur das seepferdchen *g* 22:22 Knusper: ja sicher ist es das 22:22 kopf - tisch 22:22 Knusper, wenn du die verwaisten pakete findest siehst du auf der gleichen seite auch die links wie man maintainer wird 22:22 die hab ich gefunden 22:22 zumindest hab ich das das letzte mal dort gesehen 22:24 wnpp? »
Now there is yet another package with a weird name in Debian - douf00 - a lightweight, slim and straight forward presentation tool. Written by some guys from a hacking and security team, which is mainly based in Vienna - guess that explains the l33t name (if you’re scared now, yes, I’ve reviewed the code…). At the FrOSCon one of the authors asked me if I’d be willing to package it for Debian. »
Downloading debconf translations from the bts and committing them to my packaging repository was always a task which pretty much annoyed me. Today I spent some time on writing a script which does this job for me. There is still much to improve - it is more like a prove of concept - but it works for me. With some love and probably a rewrite in Perl or Python it is a good candidate for devscripts probably. »
