Two weeks ago, Bruce Byfield did an interview with me about Manju. The article is now up at linux.com and gives a general overview of the project scope: Manju Project Article.
There’s also been a German interview with Sven Herzberg and me some months back at the Berlin Hackfest, which covers [...]
Andreas Nilsson and I recently started the Manju project which aims at creating graphical widget toolkit themes from SVG files in a toolkit independent fashion.
It combines the idea of a pixmap theme engine, Jimmac’s “One Canvas Workflow”, SVG markup features and Inkscape export functionality to fully automate [...]
Guadec has been in interesting conference, particularly because it took place in Istanbul this year. I tried to keep a few notes throughout the days to wrap up the experience and discussions here.
Sunday
Headed off for Istanbul, partial Imendio meet-up at the airport in Vienna, gathered remaining Imendians at [...]
Just like LinuxTag last year, I went to Berlin the past week to help running the Gnome booth for LinuxTag 2008.
Due to a sports accident, our booth bunny Sven Herzberg unfortunately couldn’t make it, so on Tuesday I took over booth management and merchandise from him and hurried [...]
I just got back online after a full week of DSL-outage due to the Deutsche Telekom Strike. If you are awaiting response via email or bugzilla from me, please be patient, I’m doing my best to catch up. Feel free to poke me about urgent issues via IRC/IM though, or drop me a reminder [...]
Last week i got a bug report where activating “Help/Quick Start”, “Help/FAQ” and any other web browser related menu item in Beast would do nothing. That of course completely defeats the purpose of writing help documents and offering help via the menu. Luckily, we were able to get browser launching debugging print [...]
Rodney Dawes blogged in reply to my previous blog entry on Hammering the intltool trouble. First of all, blog discussions suck, they suck less if they are carried on in the comments section of a blog entry, but i agree with Rodney that this is still not as helpful as Bugzilla or email conversations [...]
So I’ve finally had enough trouble with kludging around the different bits and odds of intltool. For several years now, the Beast project has to maintain a patch against intltool to apply after intltoolize –force –copy. The patch must be applied in order to enable translation of multi line scheme strings, and to allow [...]
Traveling with a laptop to a foreign country, waiting at airports, driving in cabs, etc. puts your data at certain risks, considering the number of laptop losses at public places. Now, most of the documents and code on my system is free software or not particularly private anyway, but unfortunately not all. Some work [...]
A few months ago, i migrated the beast CVS module to automake-1.9. I’ve been working on fixing the various issues this change involved ever since… At this point, I’m stuck in the end phase of getting make distcheck to work, and ran into a rather unpleasant issue:
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/beast/beast-0.7.0/_build/po’
INTLTOOL_EXTRACT=../intltool-extract srcdir=../../po ../intltool-update [...]
