EDE on LWN

I noticed a short EDE review on lwn.net. Thanks guys!

One up one down

EDE's modest build farm got a new member and lost old one. The new member is OpenSolaris (2009.06), run under VM, and retired one (at least for now) is FreeBSD.

Due power failure, on machine with FreeBSD installed, network card died and replacing is pretty impossible (old Compaq Proliant I found in some basement).

Some EDE parts are not yet compileable under OpenSolaris and I commited today some changes to get greens from edelib unit tests.

pkg-config on OpenSolaris

You want pkg-config on OpenSolaris? No problem, just install 4.20 MB gnome-common-devel package. Now, that's reeeeaaaaalllllyyyy smart!

Linux Kongress Summa Summarum

Altough I get back a week ago, a shoulder issue prevented me to do anything useful here and on the repo. Probably due carrying those bags with laptop. Now I'm definitely starting to prefer some lighter variants :)

Linux Kongress was excelent. Organization, people, everything. I should mention OSDevCon happening in the same time at the same place, but due daily schedule in LK rooms, haven't catch anything from OpenSolaris guys, except a few t-shirts :)

And Dresden... a beautiful city. Definitely should be visited again :)

I finally met Michael "STIBS" Stibane (remember STX distro?); he is, guess, from Dresden. We had a great dinner and talk about almost anything. A great guy!

At the end, a trip worth every penny, pardon, euro :)
