I've never heard of Omarion, who apparently is a "R&B crooner" (according to Yahoo), but I don't like him one bit. In fact, if I met him, I'd probably hit him. Why? He has no compassion, at all. What a twonk.

As ... I've been meaning to blog about this for some time now, so don't expect a long and detailed entry.

As previously mentioned I've now got my EoG ICC patches in an Arch repository. Doing this was surprisingly trivial. Thanks to the Bazaar people at Canonical (I've been talking to Robert Collins, but there are probably more people involved) there is a selective mirror of the GNOME CVS modules on http://bazaar.ubuntu.com. Assuming the default archive is set, a local module can be created as a branch of another with a single command: 

baz branch http://bazaar.ubuntu.com/gnome@bazaar.ubuntu.com/eog--MAIN--0 eog--xicc--0

This created a module in my repository called eog--xicc--0, which I can checkout as usual and edit as I want. At some point I'll want to merge any changes from upstream, so in the working directory I perform a merge: 

baz merge gnome@bazaar.ubuntu.com/eog--MAIN--0

Note that I don't need to specify the full location as the branch command added the archive name to location mapping. Simply sort out any conflicts, and them commit the changes.

Easy! This Bazaar thing is really growing on me.
