FOSDEM was great fun and I had a great time with Jürg and the Swiss Vala Gang.

Here is a photo from the “What you dislike” part of the GNOME wall (sorry for the bad quality):

Would be cool if the Gtk+ Hackweek would result in a fix.

And if someone wants to fix the anjuta top-crasher (which is a gdl/gtk+ bug), review the patch at bug #467698 – Thanks!

Update: I did not write that note but the bug number is #56070. Thanks to andre and ebassi for pointing out!

As I am usually far to lazy to RTFM I had to learn how to add externals definition to subversion the hard way. But as other might probably need it, too, here is how it works (mind the dot at the end…):

svn propset svn:externals "<directory name> -r<revision> http://svn.gnome.org/svn/yourmodule/trunk/your_directory" .

The problem is that after that command it will not work because you have to commit the property change first:

svn commit -m "Changed external property"

So here is the final example:

svn propset svn:externals "eggtoolpalette -r853 http://svn.gnome.org/svn/libegg/trunk/libegg/toolpalette/" .
svn commit -m "Added eggtoolpalette"
svn update


And now you will have eggtoolpalette revision 853 in your tree. Thanks to herzi for helping me solving this problem on IRC.
