Bye Bye Boogs!

By Richard A. Johnson on Published: June 9, 2007 at 2:56 am

bye bye boogs! Well, the past 14 or so hours I went on a bug rampage. I was able to close over a 100 bugs, most of which were stale, fix released, or support type reports. I confirmed a ton, wishlisted a ton, created a ton of upstream bug reports, and knocked down the national deficit while I was at it

This is a cool utility that Carthik has put together. Take a look at all of the trendlines, but one, and look at the drops reported. I got on a roll, became somewhat addicted, and went into the zone, and now the KDE-PIM package is happy I worked on it.

Tomorrow if I get some time, there are still quite a few kdebase and kdelibs reports I want to go over, as well as some of the other KDE apps. Well, that is all the bragging I have in me tonight, so off to bed I go…

Good night ladies and gents!

GPLv3…The death of Linux

By Richard A. Johnson on Published: June 7, 2007 at 12:51 am

Corey, I agree with you most definitely as I have just finished reading Kevin Carmony’s post as well concerning the GPLv3 and then went into the forums to read the follow up. I wish I wouldn’t have done so, but I did. WOW! The misinformation that goes around is mind boggling at times.

The freeze is on….ward to KDE 4

By Richard A. Johnson on Published: June 1, 2007 at 4:26 pm

Howdy,
The Release Team has decided that it is time to close the books on KDE 3.5.
To quote coolo:
“No more features, no more string changes, no more docu changes….
Bug fixes are allowed and after some time we’ll do another maintenance
update 3.5.8 - e.g. in september.”
So bugfixes only from now on in the 3.5 branch. If the bugfix requires
a string change, you will need to coordinate that change with the translators.
Onwards to KDE 4.0!
-Allen

Man today is a great day! So lets hope that 3.5.8 comes out in time to make its way into Gutsy, and then we can look at KDE 4 in Gutsy+1. To the entire KDE community…AWESOME JOB! This is a great feeling, an amazing feeling. It is kind of sad to see the 3.x series come to an end, as I have been with it the entire time, never missing an update. I feel like a proud papa again
