Family
Got a second baby. So in foreseable future my spare time
(dedicated to Open Source) is going to be pretty scarce.
I’ll do my best for supporting existing code – but I do not
expect time for new development efforts. This affects GNOME,
xkeyboard-config, and jEdit.
jedit
For more than year, my SQL plugin was without real
maintenance. Now, its time has come. Got access to jedit
subversion repo, committed some fixes. Heavily redesigned
SqlVFS during the weekend. I know, everyone is using Eclipse
these days – but I really find its data tools uncomfortable
(NIH?). Installed latest devel prerelease of jEdit – it is
really nice, stable and got a couple of sweet featurelets…
java (and gnome)
Sun Microsystems rock (I think you know by now what I am
talking about:). I would really love to see Java apps
in GNOME (and less Mono apps, especially in the light of
latest Novell “betrayal”).
log4gnome?
In Java, there is a versatile framework log4j (eventually
downscaled and put into j2se). In C, there is log4c. Why
does GNOME not have logging infrastructure at all? The
glib/gmessage.h API could be considered as such – but it
does not have proper configuration part.
This bug is a real champion for DUPs (9 so far, more to
come I bet). It seems every person installing FC6 is
immediately going to bugzilla to report it…
RedHat folks, please release official updated libxklavier rpm.
XKB
Daniel really rocks
with his hotplug stuff.
I still do not know how much pain it is going to cause to
GNOME keyboard code (starting from libxklavier) – but it is
a secondary concern, indeed.
Daniel, now, if you could find time to look at the next
version of XKB extension…
