It appears that, unless someone could manage to find a non-invasive fix to #503907 and other bugs, we won’t have a working webkit for lenny. Thus I agreed to having the webkit plugin for liferea removed from sid, in preparation for its likely removal from testing.
Now, liferea 1.4.18 has a couple important bugs, including the [...]
I’ve prepared a set of experimental packages of 1.5.5. They seem to be working fine, and are ready for some testing from brave users.
I’m not going to upload them soon to Debian experimental, since I want to be able to use that if for some reason I need testing of an urgent 1.4 update before [...]
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 [...]
