Mercurial Mirror For Django 1.6 branch
Django has another branch, and we have another mirror. Today Django 1.6 beta 1 was released, and that seemed a good day to start the 1.6 mirror. So here it is, next to the other mirrors on my bitbucket account: https://bitbucket.org/orzel/django-1.6-production/

AMD r600 gpu backend on Gentoo
The current situation is rather messy with respect to the AMD r600 GPU backend : it has been merged on llvm, but not yet released. The problem is that, on gentoo, the USE flag “r600-llvm-compiler” requires this backend. As a result, it was not possible since ~christmas to compile mesa-9999 with it. The backend is […]

Yet another KDE QA failure
Just as lot of people here and elsewhere keep on denying KDE QA major problem, the 4.10 release is yet another proof of how bad the situation is. KDE cares so much that they already closed the bug with a oh-so-easy “not our fault”. Which is probably true, but still I consider that this shows a […]

Mercurial Mirror For Django 1.5 branch
Django has just released the first alpha for the next big release, 1.5. As such they created the 1.5.x branch that will lead to the 1.5.0 release and then will become the stable branch. I do not intend to use the 1.5 branch before the final release, but I’ve already setup the mirror nonetheless. The mirror […]

New Django mercurial mirrors aimed at production servers
When Django was still using subversion, I used to mirror stable branches (1.2 when I started, 1.4 recently). This worked well and I could clone those repositories on production servers, and then it was just a matter of ‘hg pull -u’ to bring updates/fixes. Now.. Django has moved to git. I won’t comment on how […]

Unofficial mercurial mirror for Django that works
The documentation for Django mentions an “official” mirror for mercurial. Django got us used to a very high standard when it comes to quality. Unfortunately, this is exactly the contrary for this mirror. It’s quite often broken, or not updated, or both. The last itch is that nobody has taken care of it since the […]

Mercurial Mirror For Django 1.4 branch
Another Django release, another branch, another mercurial mirror… Cloning this one will costs you ~35Mb on your hard disk, compared to 167Mb for the official django mirror. This is updated once a day from the official svn, and it’s gonna stay for a long time : https://bitbucket.org/orzel/django-1.4-production/ For some reason, the 1.4 branch was not […]

Compiling firefox-9.0 on linux PPC
The good point is that yes!, it is possible to compile firefox 8.0 or 9.0 on linux-ppc. General point of view The mozilla foundation has stopped supporting the PPC platform for firefox starting with version 4.0. Gentoo ebuilds, quite understandably, followed upstream by removing ppc keywords for all firefox ebuilds >=4.0. Though… I still have […]

DjangoRedmineAdmin 1.0 released
I recently needed (again) to ‘browse’ a redmine database, and I used my DjangoRedmineAdmin application to do so. I took this opportunity to update the code and doing some more tests/fixes. As a result I decided to tag this as 1.0. The main modifications are: updated to comply with current redmine version (1.2.1 and 1.3.0) […]
