I committed the consolekit port some days ago and added an option to gdm to use it. It’s been working well so far, though you can’t do much right now (except ck-list-sessions). Some hours later, the patches have been integrated in the freedesktop repo.

Marcus also wrote a kqueue backend for latest version of PolicyKit, still [...]

Ok, so if you’ve been reading planet.gnome.org lately, you’ve read a couple of posts about PackageKit. I’m not going to write a lot about it cause reading Richard’s blog is the best source of information you’ll get.

PackageKit depends on recent versions of all the freedesktop hype stuff (PolicyKit, ConsoleKit, ...). While we have PolicyKit in [...]

Ok, I’ve finally committed the update to openbgpd, so it’s now at 4.0. I’ll probably pass the maintainership to farrokhi@ because I’m quite busy these days and I’ve been poorly maintaining it anyway. So you can start bothering him now :-). There’s still the openospf update pending, if you haven’t tried it, please do it [...]

As some people may know, I’ve started working on a iidc(4) driver last week to be able to use my iSight under FreeBSD. Work was soon stopped because of some bug that simokawa@ fixed during the week-end. Now I’m able to read registers from the camera.

Code can be seen at git.xbsd.org. Don’t expect anything working [...]

Here is an updated port for net/openbgpd. I’d like to get at least one or two successful reports before it goes in CVS.

Thanks to Thomas Vogt for relaying claudio@ patches.

I’ve received a couple of mails about openbgpd and openospfd ports in last few months (and I probably forgot to answer some of them, apologies for that).

I haven’t had the chance to look at them recently but hope to do it in a near future. If someone managed to get a recent snapshot (or a [...]

I’ve been silent lately, both on mailing lists and on this blog but rest assured, I’m still alive.

If you follow ports commits, you may have noticed that I’ve added a couple of telepathy ports right before the X.org freeze and updated them to the latest versions available yesterday. I’ve set MAINTAINER to gnome@ for those [...]

I just got this email from Matt Olander. I’m not sure my blog is better than any blog from Planet FreeBSD but here it is:

Hey Florent!

FreeBSDMall has put up a few new t-shirts. Either Murray or I will post to the lists about them but it’d be awesome if you mention it in your blog [...]

There’s bullshit in my head. Oh, and I’m aggressive too. Fortunately that was me and not des@ or phk@

I’m sorry to see this guy stopping using FreeBSD and I can’t but feel this is somehow my fault. Wait no, I don’t really care.

FWIW, it wasn’t meant to start a religion war, I just [...]

I’m always happy to read feedback about my (limited, I admit) work on FreeBSD. This X.org work has been running for quite some time and is my most significant contribution to ports.

I don’t like being rude to people and I think most of the people I’ve been working with on FreeBSD can confirm I’m a [...]
