I’m no random user, i know about low-level programming, i/o bound, cpu bound stuff, and I kinda tried to have it working. I failed […]

Today the Django project released the first alpha for Django 1.7. As such, the branch for 1.7 has been created in the git repository, and we can start mirroring it. Of course, this is still an alpha and the clone shouldn’t be used yet for prodution. The purpose is to test 1.7 early and to […]

Release of Colibri 1.0-beta2
Time flies, and I haven’t made any release of Colibri for a long time, despite it being used in production and bug being fixed as they are found. So here it is. No shiny new feature there, it’s mostly about bug fixing, code cleaning and updating the code. More importantly: Colibri now requires Django 1.6, […]

Release of EmergeActivity 2.1
Emerge activity is a small PyQt application aimed at Gentoo users that displays an “activity” graph of the emerges. Here’s a typical example on my desktop computer : For those wondering, the huge increase in 2009 is when the Gentoo KDE team decided to split KDE packages, and the drop in 2011 is when I stopped […]

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.

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 […]
