A new major release of Coat - the diet-Moose - is now available and provides support for type constraints. It’s now possible to define types, subtypes and enums as well as setting up coercions in Coat classes, in the exact same syntax as with Moose.

I’ve uploaded a new major release of TinyMCE into sid, the package jumps from the 2.x branch to the new 3.x one.
For the record, packages that use TinyMCE should rather depend on that packge instead of shipping the sources itself.

Yes I know, it’s like a year since the last development release of Backup Manager has been published, I should be ashamed of such a huge idleness.
But actually, If you ask me, I’m not. Instead of writing long lines of haiku to apologize for being so late at releasing, here is an illustrated reason why […]

Dear lazyweb, this sunday afternoon, I opened BackupManager’s Bugzilla and started squashing bugs. There was 54 bugs opened that requested a review. 15 of them are now tagged “pending” (meaning they’re closed in SVN and will be shiped with the next release).
All of the patches submited - that made sense - were applied, thanks to […]

If you’re like me and want to build the ieee80211 driver for your debian box with the last kernel available in sid (2.6.24), you’ll have to apply that patch to the sources.
As you can see, a couple of changes occured in the Kernel API and that blocks the build.
Hope that can help.

Sam suggested in his lat blog entry to create a team whose role would be to handle the promotional stuff. I find that idea pretty good, having a central point where to take decisions regarding how Debian should communicate with the outside world makes sense.
I totally support that idea.

I’ve uploaded a new developer release of Coat::Persistent to the CPAN. In this version, the modules Cache::FastMmap and DBD::CSV are made optional (they were mandatory dependencies until then). Moreover, Coat::Persistent now uses DBIx::Sequence for primary keys generation.
After thinking a lot to the future of that tiny ORM (which is actually very small, unfinished and questionable) […]

At work, I was voluntold to deal with an old AIX server, and today, part of my job was to get OpenSSH up and running… Erf. How the hell could someone work with the tool “smitty”? Do they call that a package maintenance system? Do people really pay for that ?
This makes me sick, why […]

I’ve been playing with WWW::Mechanize in order to write some functional tests for a webapp. My goal is to simulate as closely as possible a human-made browsing: accessing pages, clicking here and there and submiting forms.
WWW::Mechanize is good. But if you want to be as close as possible to a real browsing, the best thing […]

My work on using Coat (a Moose-compatible light module) and Coat::Persitent (the ORM) for writing a Rails-like framework for Perl is getting close to something interesting.
I might release a documentation soon, in the meanwhile, you can check the teaser.
