I wish all the luck to the people converting GNOME to
Subversion! CVS is really too 90-ish…;) BTW, as maintainer
of two virtual modules (libkbdraw/libgswitchit) I can advise
that these modules could be safely dropped from g-a and
g-c-c – if Subversion is not going to be used for support of
GNOME 2.14 and earlier. Otherwise, I’m afraid, they’ll have
to made svn:external or smth… (Sorry, I am not subscribed
to gnome-hackers maillist, so I can just hope some person of
the transition team reads this).
Wine + LEGO’s LabView
Yesterday spent some time trying to make LEGO Mindstorm’s
software work in Wine/Ubuntu. Well, Wine has
definitely made a great progress in configurability, since
last time I tried it. But unfortunately I could not make it
yet – for some reason wine could not load fantom.dll
(Invalid ELF header???). I’ll keep on trying…
SIP
It seems, voipcheap.com has some issues. Noone could call me
through NAT when I used voipcheap.com account. Once I
switched to sipnet.ru account – everything just works. Or is
it just a combination of ekiga/voipcheap.com (with
x-lite/win32 even voipcheap.com account works ok)? Or just
ekiga?…;)
In a word, SIP is still not mature enough for people behind
firewalls. I would not wholeheartedly recommend it to the
people who want something working out of the box, in every
situation.
