Quick notes
Here are some quick notes:
- If Smolt tracks your Fedora hardware, then the Mugshot Open Source Application Statistics is cool to see what people are using on their desktops daily. Its opt-in, and clearly, I’ve opted in. There’s not much stats there yet as its new, but it’ll be interesting to see it grow.
- I’ve written up the Fedora on the Dell Inspiron 640m guide, which came out from various blog posts here, but adds more details, with keys that are working and what not. I’ve yet to file useful bugs on FC-6 for the problems.
- Wordpress 2.1.2 looks sweet. The update didn’t kill anything, and I just noticed a nice little Export feature (something that will be really handy when I move the blog, soon). Plugins got updated, as well.
- I’ve asked for maintenance of adns, python-adns back, and also want to update straw, in Fedora. Lets see how this pans out. I have claimed rehabilitation, apologized for my absence (bad), but really needed the break.
- I’ve just learnt that that on i386, vdso will need to be disabled if you’re setting up Maemo 3.0 on Fedora Core 6. And I also learnt that on x86_64, there is no vdso. Props to #fedora-devel, and jwb.
- 2 million FC-6 installs. Great news. I hope that by 0.35% updates on the ppc arch, we don’t lose ppc support. I have a feeling a lot more will come to us now that Ubuntu has got some odd PCC support arrangement, and a lot of older Apples are in the market. And the stats don’t reflect laboratories, or say, my home office, as I sync the updates and trees locally, at night when the bandwidth limit is greater, and the clients all update via a server I have sitting here.
- Yesterday was a great day. The course of my life, changed for the better.
