Mercurial bulk update
I don’t know about you, but I have on a lot of different places a directory called ‘hg’ with lot of different mercurial clones inside. Whether on the home of my several computers for my own projects, or inside other directories for external projects, and so on. Now, remember one important aspect of distributed source […]

Yet another activity graph : how often do you emerge ?
Really, I seem to be fond of activity graphs those days. I have reused part of this previous code, but this time I parse the emerge log file to display the activity of your successful emerges. Think of it as a graphical view of ‘genlop -l’. Those examples are the emerge activity of my two […]

Full blown kde-aware opale version
Since the release of opale-0.9, I have mostly worked on improving the (optional) KDE integration. And now if KDE is available, opale will use things like : KMainWindow, KApplication (session management..), XML GUI, KFileDialog and specific menu entries (Switch application language, configure shortcuts/toolbars, KDE-aware recent files submenu,…). While I was there, the Qt-only version now […]

KDE standard aboutbox is kind of close-minded
Back in the days of kde3, while writing a KDE application, I encountered quite a big problem while trying to use the aboutbox stuff from KDE (that means kaboutdata and the now called kaboutapplicationdialog). I talked to some guys on #kde-devel, and I have been told that, yes, this will be changed for KDE4. Now […]

Opale ported to qt4 and kde4
Opale was an application written using koffice that I use to handle my personal accounts. Long ago I have dropped support for koffice (mainly because of the crappy/undocumented/buggy chart API) and since then opale was a kde-based application. One year ago, i have started porting it to kde4, and, meanwhile, made it a Qt4 application. […]

Activities gallery
While developing my recently released activity mercurial extension (and here too), I did a lot of tests on some quite famous/big projects. I’ve found the results to be quite interesting and decided to put up this gallery. Are you interested in the history of commits for kde, linux, django, portage(software), and others? warning : this […]

Splitted activity for mercurial
Today I have added new options to the mercurial activity extension and most importantly, it is now possible to have a different curve for each author. It looks like this :

Activity extension for mercurial
This is something i’ve really been missing for long in mercurial : a way to display the activity of a repository. No, ‘hg churn’ is not the right answer, I want an idea of when the peaks of development happened. So I have written this small extension. It is based on matplotlib, so you’ll need […]

Django browser for Redmine database
Do you know redmine ? This is, to my knowledge, the best project manager you could ever find out there. I like to describe it as ‘trac done well‘. It has only one, big, ugly, fat inconvenient for me : it is written on top of ruby on rails. I could tell you how slow […]

KDE 4.1.2 tagged, gentoo land frozen
I’m not a gentoo fan. Mainly because I don’t like the idea of being a ‘fan’. Being a fan in the Free Software world usually means being an extremist and i hate extremism. I nonetheless use almost exclusively Gentoo on all computers, laptops, servers and other divx boxes I have or maintain. That means a […]
