dash, debian
Yesterday morning during the talk titled "
changing the default system shell," Luk Claes and I NMUed dash (with the maintainer's permission of course) so that it is becomes the default /bin/sh. Yes, we finally did it!
To "
celebrate", I took a nap right before lunch and today I had a great day during the day trip.
Those wondering what I'm going to do next: I don't know yet. I still have many items on my ToDo list in addition to continue the bashisms-hunting work, so I don't feel like promising anything.
Like I said at the end of the talk, I'd like to thank a lot of people including (but not limited to) those who at some point contributed to make the change possible, those who use dash, those who don't, the maintainers of bash and dash, and Debian in general.

Since lenny was released the number of RC bugs keeps going up and up. As of this time of writing it is around
1138 which are way too many.
For those who prefer graphics:
Current:
So, why not start a Mass NMUing challenge? what about getting the number of RC bugs below 1000 before Debcamp starts (that is, in a week)?.
My NMUs count on my DDPO page keeps increasing, hopefully faster than the number of RC bugs, what about yours?

Here I am, more than 19 months later, but am finally a DD
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to my NM process, especially anibal (my advocate), faw (my AM), and myon (fd/dam).
Timing is perfect, I planned a mass NMU day to fix bashisms

debian, debconf
Just read Steve Langasek's
blog post about him attending Debconf9, and then I remembered I hadn't blogged about it.
Just in case it isn't obvious what I meant with that:
I still don't know exactly when I'll be arriving .
But anyway, am going, am happy, that's all that matters. See you there!

debian, uclinux, pda
What can I say, it's been a while since I last posted something and just lose all the data of my clié.
This happened after I failed to transfer the ROM image to POSE and close the ROM Transfer application.
It isn't the first time I'm welcomed by a blinking "PalmOS Powered" screen (which basically means you have to hard reset it; i.e. erase all data) after soft-resetting it after it freezes or a fatal exception occurs, but I must confess I didn't remember how bad and angry it makes me feel to lose data because of such bugs.
Good news is: now I don't have any, more, data to lose so am free to play with it trying to get uclinux to boot on it.
I just tried an old already-built image of uclinux and was welcomed by Tux on the framebuffer, which felt good
Now I need to get the prc-tools back to work so that I can build and try the latest uclinux, which is based on linux 2.6.
26 (yes, that's the version of the kernel shipped in lenny!); and probably need to build a serial cable, to get access to the console and start playing with it.
So, here I am, playing with old stuff: a clié, palm os, m68k; who would have guessed.
Hope some day I will see Debian booting on it.
