Preparing some packages
This weekend, I took the train from Paris to Caen to see my family, that was the perfect time for testing my new laptop.
Using cpufreq for dowclocking the processor and reducing the LCD brightness allowed me to use my laptop for more than 4 hours without power supply. That means that I hacked a lot in the train.
I made a new upstream version of Backup Manager on friday and packaged the new upstream version of Bugzilla (2.18.3) on sunday.
That’s really funny to use the time you spend in the train for hacking, most of the other travellers must not understand what the hell you have on your laptop (No big Windows button? Is that really a laptop, eh?), but most of all, that’s really great to use this precious time.
Now, bugzilla 2.18.3-1 is waiting for an upload and backup-manager 0.5.8b-1 is ready but needs a lot of help concerning the gettext translations.
Indeed, I used podebconf-report-po to notify the debian translators, but also requested their help for the upstream i18n. I hope we’ll manage to translate the upstream bits in Czech, Vietnamese or even Japanese (all of those are almost done for the debconf templates).
As soon as backup manager has a good i18n shape, I’ll ask my sponsor to upload it (I plan to do it in a week or two).
