Last week, I set up an overlay to store and share some of my ebuilds. The overlay is hosted on Launchpad so you will need Bazaar to access it. Right now it has ebuilds for Gambas, collectd and PyICU (used in Chandler) and I plan on adding more in the future.
To start using the overlay, download the overlay.xml file from the overlay's web-based interface and add it to the overlays line in /etc/layman/layman.cfg. After that you can use layman to add it to your list and use it.
Recently, I had the opportunity to travel around Europe. I took many photographs during the trip and here is a small sample of these photographs.
It has been a while since I posted anything on this blog. Over the last couple of weeks I had to deal with quite a few bugs on my system. Some of them were caused by the two new overlays I added, the others were just the usual bugs found in testing packages. Getting everything figured out took much longer than I anticipated and my system was down, recompiling, a lot. Everything is back up-and-running, for now. We will see what happens at the next update.
There are still a couple of outstanding bugs that I have not figured out and some are interfering with getting everything finalized on a few posts I was working on. I am looking for workarounds in case the bugs are not fixed relatively quickly.
Meanwhile, I have been working more on the usual; translations. ebuilds, and some testing. Autotools [1] [2] [3] [4] is on my to-learn list now since one ebuild needed me to fix a couple of small issues in its build configuration files. I will try to get a couple of shorter posts done in the next week, or two , so the blog will not be so stagnant. Anyway, until the next post.
I have been a little busy and I have not had the time to put up a new post in more than two weeks. I wanted to learn how to make ebuilds and I have spent most of my time doing that instead of writing. My first ebuild had to be rewritten several times and that, along with testing, took most of the last ten days. I have quite a few posts in the works and hopefully I will finish at least one of them sometime next week. Meanwhile, I will be splitting my time between more ebuilds, possibly some translations, and everything else.
I am trying to improve the look of the blog a little and I needed an icon for the feed link. I looked online and there were plenty of good candidates. However, I decided to make my own since there does not seem to be a "standard" icon and some of those could be copywrited.
I fired up Inkscape and got to work. I made one for RSS and one for Atom. The easiest way to get images into Blogger is to just add them to a post, so I am doing that. If anybody likes them, I also have SVGs, and I can see about possibly posting those.
Hello and welcome to my personal blog. In this first post, I would like to quickly describe what you can expect to see here in the future. I plan to blog about:
