ldtp 0.9.0, ayttm 0.5.0+10

Posted in Debian, Foss.in, Ubuntu by Kartik Mistry on August 31st, 2007

* LDTP (aka Linux Desktop Testing Project) has released 0.9.0. Download it. Debian packages will be there soon (temporary at mentors).

* Ayttm 0.5.0+10 is in Debian too! I have changed upstream minor version from -10 to +10 to avoid confusion with Debian revision number. Thanks to mones for upload and tips.

* Late but, we submitted joint proposal for Project Days at Foss.in for ‘Debian and Ubuntu‘. I hope that it will be accepted and we will have great time/fun. Thanks to Teknofreak, Soumyadip  and others for help in drafting proposal.

ldtp-doc

Posted in Debian by Kartik Mistry on March 1st, 2007

* I Did ITP for ldtp-doc yesterday. And the great thing is that nags changed its licence from GFDL to LGPL, making things easy for Debian packaging for me (& world). Thanks nags for that. I have not seen such co-operative upstream yet!! LDTP-doc will contain html documentation for LDTP (Linux Desktop Testing Project) package.

Posted in Debian, Mumbai, Personal by Kartik Mistry on February 19th, 2007

* I was back home on Friday noon. I knew that lots of work is in TODO list in this short & sweet visit. Went to Office to fix some issues (webmail’s access and meeting people was main reason!).
* Paid two bills.
* Fixed FTBFS for LDTP. New version is also in incoming right now!
* And yes, Yesterday (18th) was my Marriage Anniversary! Thanks to K! I know that I should go to bed right now else I will miss my train today :)

At Ahmedabad..

Posted in Debian, Personal by Kartik Mistry on February 12th, 2007

* Things are going slow & smooth here. Except, I was too much shocked by death of my grandmother at Palanpur. I have already written about this at my Gujarati blog.

* LDTP, Festival-* already entered in unstable and I need to fix why it is throwing ‘dh_pysupport -a commad not found error’ in all architechtures.

* No connectivity. Hope that this will resolve soon :(

A bit down

Posted in Debian, Personal by Kartik Mistry on January 19th, 2007

* I wasn’t feeling good from last 3 days. Lost 2 days at work also :( But, things looks fine now.

* Good news is that LDTP package is in New queue now! Thanks to Nags for answering my all dumb questions :) and sponsor Daniel. And bad news is that I need to refine gnome-orca as ‘big chunk of its data are in usr/share’ which is not recommended situation for architecture dependent package, as it can be wastage of size and build-time for buildd. Mario suggest me to split the package in two parts: gnome-orca-comman (which will be ‘all’) and gnome-orca (’any’)!
