It’s been a while since Mr Beranger didn’t mention what he could call the FreeBSD/X.org incident. Well, we can reset the counter [link].

The poor thing mentioned (again) being driven away from the FreeBSD Project because of two developers who shall remain nameless (one of them being myself), who dared calling him an idiot. Well, I [...]

Looks like I got myself into trouble again.

After I accepted a hat from portmgr, I started looking at pkg_install again. I’ve already done some cleaning which I mentioned previously but it now seems like i have a new part-time job.

I’m working on a config file support right now. I’ve done some more cleaning up (removing [...]

I figured I could give a small update on what I’m doing these days.

If you’re reading Planet FreeBSD, you already know that I’ve been offered to join portmgr@ a few days ago. Since then I’ve done some cleanup in pkg_install related stuff: removed pkg_sign, sync’ed RELENG_7 and RELENG_6 with HEAD, removed old pkg_install-devel port, updated [...]

I removed xfree86-4 ports yesterday. Hear hear people, if you’re still using USE_X_PREFIX or USE_XLIB, switch to USE_XORG, now.

It’s using feedjack and there are a few interesting features. Most importantly, it’s there.

I’ve finally swapped the old PowerEdge 2550 with a (less) old PowerEdge 2660. It sports a Bi-Xeon 3GHz AFAIK which should be more than enough for what it’s currently doing.

WordPress-MU and Planet were unavailable for a short as I replaced Apache with Lighttpd. I think everything is back on, drop me an email if something [...]

I updated wordpress-mu to 1.3.0 on blogs.freebsdish.org.

Most noticeable is that people can now leave comments using their OpenID. I’ve also replaced SpamKarma with Bad-Behavior and added a bunch of plugins that people can activate themselves. Have fun!

Holiday season is over so I’m trying to fix as many ports as I can before portmgr cuts the final set of packages for the upcoming 7.0 and 6.3 FreeBSD releases.

I think I’ve fixed most outstanding issues with x11 ports (mga driver, xdm, ...) in the past few days. If you have a major issue [...]

... commit in FreeBSD history. Thanks to Martin for pointing it out

Sorry folks for the delay, I’ve been a bit behind on mail and if you sent me one about planet freebsd, I probably didn’t answer.

Anyway, it’s fixed. Enjoy! (again)
