Debian Maintainership
Sweet - last night Colin Walters advocated me for New Maintainership in Debian. This is an important first step down the long (and slow) process of becoming a Debian Developer.Hello, my name is Ross and...
I have a Kylie addiction. After falling in love with Florence (from The Magic Roundabout) due to her voice being Kylie's, I decided to see help. I can't afford a therapist, so I resorted to Emacs.Devil's Pie 0.2.2
Devil's Pie 0.2.2 is out, available at the usual location. This release fixes a few bugs, adds a default configuration file, and adds actions to set the WM_STATE_BELOW and WM_STATE_ABOVE hints.
Debian packages are also available from my apt-get-able repository, at http://www.burtonini.com/debian/.
Debian Packaging
My local APT tree is getting quite full now. The Meld and Straw packages are just waiting for python2.2-gnome2 to be packaged (if you have installed it yourself, please try out the packages) before they can be uploaded by a kind sponsor (who has mainly been robster, of DebianPlanet fame, recently. Thanks!).
I've also packaged the Mist GTK+ theme engine (for both GTK+ 1.2 and GTK+ 2.0) and the Python wrapper around MusicBrainz. I only did it as an experiment to see how Python can be packaged (very easily is the answer), but I might use it in my CD ripping tool when I eventually get that off the ground.
Java API to DevHelp
I finally got annoyed with having to use Galeon as a API viewer, when more suited tools such as the wonderful DevHelp exist.
30 minutes of Perl hacking on a train and I had a script which will run over a Java2 API documentation tree and build a .devhelp file, with an entry in the table of contents for every package, and every method and class in the index. DevHelp now takes about 20 seconds to start (the index is 4 megs) but looking for a certain API is just so much easier.
The script is available from here. If it works (or not) for you, please mail me.
