.. and I got RC Bug!

Posted in Debian, Linux, News, Personal by Kartik Mistry on June 9th, 2008

* #410703 Long pending. Help is required. Unfortunately, before I act on it, severity was raised to ‘grave’. See bug logs for more details.

Patches are most welcome from Developers (I was told to not ask patches from users. Thanks!)

And, I still don’t have Debian machine. The option is to get al-cheapo ASUS eee PC quickly to start whatever Debian work I can do or my dream is to wait and have Macbook :P

xosview bug hunting…

Posted in Debian, Linux, News by Kartik Mistry on June 4th, 2008

* One fine day (two days back), Michael Karcher reported two bugs with patches for xosview. I just asked him to take a look at other existing bugs if he has time, and you know, he looked over all bugs and sent 3 more patches.

Thanks Michael for your contribution!

I am now reading/learning more about famous tool Valgrind.

You can always look at xosview bugs here.

* From world’s favorite time pass, Orkut: You have a strong desire for a home and your family comes first.

* On Debian front since Sunday, I updated chmlib (Thanks meebey for reporting and pabs for quick upload) fixing horrible bug due to my overlook in debian/copyright (#479649) and uploaded new release of libyahoo2 0.7.6 to mentors.

* And yes, I am bit sick from last 2/3 days. Stomach is bad :(

bugs

Posted in Debian by Kartik Mistry on October 21st, 2007

* I started with my packages, ayttm, festival, sitecopy, tagtool and xosview. Some bugs were already fixed at upstream and forgotten and some was unreproducible. I am happy that submitters provided necessary information to keep my tempo high to really fix them.

* I reported small typo (missing ‘ in description) for package ‘debian-maintainers‘ at 11:38 AM, Joey replied and done it (actually it was fixed in NEW version) at 11:56 AM!
