Bleeding edge

Debian makes inroads in Mexican bakeries:

Liferea’s upstream has decided to stop puting Debian Planet as a default example feed for new installs. I agree with that change for the upstream distribution, but I’m still going to revert it for the Debian package. And, of course, that gives us the chance to do even better. I’ve added Planeta Debian to the [...]

Has Debian Planet been acting up? I’ve been getting old entries shown again and again, but I don’t know if it’s the planet or a bug in Liferea I ought to find out about.

My @debian.org account’s now been created. Thanks santiago, anibal and kapil for your sponsorships during all this time. I learned quite a lot from you all. Thanks are also due my AM, myon and my advocate, gwolf.

This week I ought to have posted about how Gunnar and I met somewhere along the Ciclotón and had amazing amounts of fun. But I can’t, because we didn’t, because I was stuck in bed, with a 39C fever, all through Sunday and Monday and half of Tuesday. And weak and tired and with a [...]

Hey, Gunnar, what do you say next month we try to meet during the ciclotón?

I’ve been 3 times to it and it really is a lot of fun! Even in weather like yesterday’s! I very nearly decided to stay in bed sipping chocolate, but in the end the shame at seing my brother getting all [...]

The webkit rendering plugin for liferea is now available in unstable. It has missing features and crashes not-so-rarely. But it renders properly (and I rather like how it loks, actually) everything I’ve tested with it so far. Please help us get it into a releasable shape by testing and reporting bugs, but do be kind [...]

I must admit I had no idea that something called webkit exists. Until a few days ago, that Lars blogged about adding support for it to liferea. And now it seems we’re about to have webkit available in unstable.

I guess that means I’ll just have to work on getting the combination packaged. Look for it [...]

For all of you that were clamoring to have 1.2 packaged, I’ve finally managed to tie up most loose ends. 1.2.7-1 is now available in experimental. The only problem that seems to remain is that it doesn’t build in kFreeBSD, because it is using network manager, which seems to be available only for Linux. I’ll [...]

As of 1.0.27-2, the GtkHTML rendering backend for liferea is disabled. It simply caused too much trouble, randomly segfaulting on every architecture and reliably segfaulting on 64bit ones. So I ended up deciding to just disable it and leave only the xulrunner engine. Please, if you use liferea, help test the transition to the new [...]
