I’ve just released a new version of gnome-vfs-obexftp, which includes the features discussed previously. It can be downloaded from:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-vfs-obexftp/0.3/
The highlights of the release include:
Sync osso-gwobex and osso-gnome-vfs-extras changes from Maemo Subversion.
Instead of asking hcid to set up the RFCOMM device for communication, use an RFCOMM socket directly. This is both faster and doesn’t […]
Today we unveiled the Launchpad 1.0 User Interface, which has been in private beta for the last few months. As well as the improved visual appearance, there are a number of new features such as the ability to add your own branding to Launchpad pages associated with your project (for example, Ubuntu’s pages).
As mentioned […]
Recently, the SchoolTool project has migrated to Launchpad for their bug tracker.
We performed an import of all their previous bug reports using a new bug importer I wrote. This was the third Launchpad bug importer I’d written (the previous ones being for the Ubuntu Bugzilla import and a SourceForge importer), so I wanted this […]
Daylight saving started yesterday: the first time since 1991/1992 summer for Western Australia. The legislation finally passed the upper house on 21st November (12 days before the transition date). The updated tzdata packages were released on 27th November (6 days before the transition). So far, there hasn’t been an updated package released […]
One of the things we’ve been working on for Launchpad is good integration with Bazaar. Launchpad provides a way to register or host Bazaar branches, and nominate a Bazaar branch as representing a particular product series.
For each registered branch, there is a branch information page. This leads to a bit of confusion since […]
One of the new features in Firefox 2 is Microsummaries, which essentially allows dynamic bookmark titles. This is useful when bookmarking volatile pages, since the title can reflect the current state of the document rather than the state when the bookmark was created.
The system works by registering XSLT transformations that generate a simple text […]
When outlining the use of team branches on Launchpad previously, I used the –create-prefix option when pushing the branch to sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net. This was to make sure the initial push would succeed, even if the /~username/product directory the branch would be created in didn’t exist.
To simplify things for users, we made a change to the […]
Earlier in the year, we migrated the bugs from bugzilla.ubuntu.com over to Launchpad. This process involved changes to the bug numbers, since the Launchpad is used for more than just Ubuntu and already had a number of bugs reported in the system.
People often refer to other bugs in comments, which both Bugzilla and […]
Earlier, David Allouche
described how to
host Bazaar branches on Launchpad. At the end, he alluded to the
ability to create branches that can be committed to by anyone on a
team. I’ll describe how this works here.
Launchpad Teams
Launchpad allows people to organise themseleves into teams. Most
of the things people can do in Launchpad can also […]
The Python developers have been looking for a new bug tracker, and essentially put out a tender for people interested in providing a bug tracker. Recently I have been working on getting Launchpad’s entry ready, which mainly involved working on SourceForge import.
The entry is now up, and our demonstration server is up and running […]
