It always takes me some time to update wordpress, but it eventually happens.
Following Tom’s comment the other day, I also fixed media upload, so it’s now possible to upload screenshots or whatever you’re trying to upload.
As usual, if you encounter any problem, please report.
Update: I’ve also install the IWPhone plugin for WordPress, just activate it and you’ll make your iPhone / iPod Touch users very happy 
I’ve had a local half-baked port of banshee for quite a while now. I’ve finally made the extra effort to make it a bit cleaner. This is basically the minimal set of features you can get, there’s no iPod support, no MTP support either. There are probably some rough edges, but now it’s there and people can test it.
Have fun!
Neglected iPhone irish users can rejoyce, as there’s now a native iPhone app to send texts through the O2/Meteor websites!

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 will repeat myself: clueless and whining person == idiot.
Should you not have been an idiot, you would have admitted that your understanding of how ports and packages work was wrong and you would have just said that it was simply not a good match for your needs. There’s plenty of choice, shop around, as you’re already doing.
Apart from that, there are loads of people using patched releases (via freebsd-update(1), which you also criticized, for various utterly wrong reasons, as pointed out by Colin Percival, the maintainer of the tool) with what I’ll call stable packages (which is actually latest packages built on FreeBSD-STABLE, as opposed to current packages which are built against FreeBSD-CURRENT).
Seeing as Iphone 3G subscription will come with free access to BitBuzz wireless network, I checked their website and saw there was no map with all the access points on it. So I figured I’d do it myself.
Here it is. I merely generated a XML file from the data I got on bitbuzz.net, the javascript is outrageously stolen from fellow FreeBSD developer Lars Thegler.
EDIT: Bitbuzz since made their own map with all the hotspots locations on it. Check it out.
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 FreeBSD 5.x support, fixing pkg_info ftp://...). I’ll have a look at PRs later.
Code is living at http://git.xbsd.org/projects/pkg-install/. To check it out:
$ git clone git://git.xbsd.org/projects/pkg-install.git
$ cd pkg-install
$ git fetch origin cleanup:cleanup (if you want the cleanup branch)
$ git fetch origin config:config (if you want the config branch)
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 pkg_install port, added a distfile target to pkg_install in src/ to generate a new distfile for use with ports/, ...).
I was also browsing pkg_install code to look for ancient/unsupported/broken code. I’ve found that “@option extract-in-place” wasn’t used anywhere under ports/. If you’re too lazy to read pkg_create(1), basically it extracts the contents of a package straight into $PREFIX rather than to a staging area first. Pav ran an exp-build to see if defaulting to in-place extraction breaks anything and, obviously, it did. Thankfully I could reproduce quickly and I’ll investigate in the next few hours. I expect to find loads of gems like this one.
