Back from USA !


It’s been 1 week now, but I’m back from my trip to USA.



I’ve bought a Canon Digital SLR camera just before, I wanted a nice camera for a long time and that was a good opportunity. I’ve seen lots of wonderful landscape and things. It was really cool and I’ll post a link of pictures I’ve taken as soon as they’ll be online.



While I was in travel mode, I spent last week end with my girlfriend in Brussel (Belgium) which was quite nice too, visiting a friend of mine. The weather was better than expected.



Now that I’m back in Paris, it’s raining again, everything goes normal.

Holidays


Last week end I went to the travel agency to book my next holidays. Well it’ll cost more than what I first expected but that’s going to be a really good time (sun, scuba-diving and alcohol, since we’re in all-inclusive). Forgot to mention, I’ll be in Charm El-Sheikh for two weeks starting on 27/9/05 o/.

Latest FreeBSD news


Hi Diary,


I’ve been very busy these days with either work or final school report writing. Lately I’ve committed some changes to net/ipw-firmware to use it as a master port for the on-coming iwi-firmware. Actually this port is ready, but it seems iwi(4) just doesn’t work with Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2200 according to marcus and some people on -hackers. I’ve mailed Damien Bergamini to have some more information.


I received a mail from someone who would like to see net/openbgpd updated to latest version (3.7), and answered I’ll do ASAP. I’ve been able to look at it two days ago, unfortunately it just doesn’t compile because of non-existent SIMPLEQ_* macros on FreeBSD. I’ll try to contact Henning Brauer about this soon. I’m not sure if I could patch it to use other macros from sys/queue.h.


Since code slush was approaching (for RELENG_6 branch), I’ve bothered krion a lot about some patches I’ve done against src/usr.sbin/pkg_install (some were 2-months old, first assigned to eik) mainly about :

  • making directory argument optional for @cw?d command

  • adding @dirrmtry command to remove those ugly “@unexec rmdir %D/foo 2>/dev/null || true” lines from packing lists
  • adding @noinst command as part of my plan to conquer the world (basically just the same as @comment, but it’s aimed at creating a file database to be able to know which port installs what file)


Last but not least, PR count hasn’t been so low in 3 years (down to 670) o/.
