Too bad Murphy struck again on the first +day of my (theoretical) vacation, delivering me a nice flu (not yet completely +absorbed). Nevertheless I managed to do something funny in the last few days: + +* I remembered that I do have, as all other DDs, a [personal lintian +page](http://lintian.debian.org/reports/maintainer/zack@debian.org.html) and I +have thus spent some time fixing warning ignored since ever (almost all uploads +are still in delayed queues however); while I was at it I also decided to +"destroy" my lintian page moving my name to Uploaders for packages that still +weren't co-maintained. (/me eager to see +[this](http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2007/12/msg00183.html) implemented, go +Russ, go!) + +* I have fixed the [vcs field stats +page](http://sockmel.bononia.it/~zack/vcs-urls/) to consider as equal `Vcs-Svn` +fields pointing to URLs like `svn://svn.debian.org/foo` and +`svn://svn.debian.org/svn/foo` which are indeed the same final path on +[alioth](http://alioth.debian.org). That's why in the graph you now see an +inversion in the relative positions of field with wrong value and +correct field, in case you were wondering. Thanks to Sandro Tosi for the +hint. + +* I have finally managed to leave the 18th century my mail set-up was living in: +goodbye pop + [[debpkg fetchmail]] + [[debpkg mutt]], welcome imap4 + [[debpkg +offlineimap]] + mutt. In the former setup I was unable to read my old mails +while away from my laptop, now I have decent replicas of my full mailboxes in +various places. I'm still a bit unhappy about how can I force a send/receive +email cycle: with fetchmail I used to have a demonized fetchmail running in the +background and just executing `fetchmail` I was able to force that. Now, with +offineimap, I've an autorefresh-ed offlineimap running inside [[debpkg screen]] +and I need to bring up the screen and then hit `1` to trigger a sync cycle. + +... now back to that paper introduction due for December 26th :-/ + +[[tag planet/debian debian qa english]]
