A couple people have reported minor and major bugs in the last yyhelp version, particularly after yycommit got reimplemented to operate on top of git-commit(1) instead of cg-commit(1). Besides some others, this…
Here is a new release of YummyYummySourceControl, a shallow porcelain script around common git(7) command variants: yyhelp (v0.8) This version supports a new command to grep and match an extended regular…
We’ve been fairly busy recently with resolving the milestone bugs of the next Beast release. The good news is that pretty much all of the hard issues are sorted out by now, the bad news is that according to the…
I’ve had to add another bit to yyhelp to make my everyday coding more convenient, so it got support for git-svn(1). The yypull and yypushpull commands will now detect a git(7) repository set up with git-svn…
The YummyYummySourceControl script got a few buglet fixups during the last days, so I’ve put up version 0.5b: yyhelp. Here’s the obligatory list of changes since the last version: Overview of Changes in…
I’ve put up a new release of the slightly renamed YummyYummySourceControl script here: yyhelp (0.5). The script still depends on cogito(7) for the implementation of yycommit, but other such dependencies have…
Or: Who in the world is actually linking against GLib without Gtk+? I’m currently in the process of building some general purpose infrastructure for Rapicorn and because a good portion of the C++ utilities used…
The idea of using OpenGL as a future core rendering architecture for Gtk+ has been brought up a couple times at GUADEC (and then some variations thereof). However there are good reasons to avoid that and major…
For Rapicorn i need a simple and nicely readable way to special case code on various strings, which isn’t a problem in most scripting languages but is not provided by C/C++. Switching on strings turns out to be…
Starting with the discontinuation of cogito, i began to wonder about my future git usage patterns. On the one hand, i have become quite used to the convenience of some of the cogito commands, on the other hand…
Newly built GLib & Gtk+ API docs are online now. In the process, i fixed a long standing documentation feature request: searchable API docs. This turned out to be the most requested documentation feature at the…
I just got back online after a full week of DSL-outage due to the Deutsche Telekom Strike. If you are awaiting response via email or bugzilla from me, please be patient, I’m doing my best to catch up. Feel free…
As announced by Hallski, Sven, Mitch and me went to LinuxTag 2007 and operated the Imendio and GNOME booths. As usual, Sven did a great job nurturing random users approaching the booth, together with Mathias…
Gtk+ Patch Testing & Committing: Recently i was caught on IRC and asked to look into a few outstanding Gtk+ bug reports. Some of them easy, some of them not so easy, e.g. one required a lengthy in-depth…
The Gtk+ project finally gets a structured way to absorb voluntary efforts. Here is my proposal for a Volunteer Task List on gtk-devel-list. The task list is currently being constructed in the Gnome Wiki: GTK…
The generation rules for the Rapicorn website are now finally in place: → rapicorn.org ← This should help to clear up some of the motivations behind the Rapicorn project, in particular how it relates to Gtk…
I will quickly roll up some of the interesting bits that happened around Beast in the last couple of weeks. Stefan Westerfeld sat down and put up a collection of the various instruments and loops he is…
The last Rapicorn snapshot had a couple build and compiler issues which could be fixed meanwhile, so here is the "real" 0.1.2 release: rapicorn-0.1.2.tar.gz It’s still a technology preview release with known…
One of the typical problems with implementing an allocator is that all sorts of memory failures in programs get attributed to the allocator. That’s because messing up heap memory somewhere in a program or…
