Inside the Digital Dump

Technology drives the forces of globalization. But when we replace our computers and flat-screens with the newest in high-tech cool, what happens to the hardware we throw away? Read the article at Foreign Policy

libjarjar-java_1.0~rc3.dfsg.1-1 in the new queue

but if you can't wait, you can add my people.d.o repo.
    Next step:
  • #418678 ITP: trove4j -- high performance collections for java objects and primitive type

  • #418579 ITP: aspectwerkz -- AOP framework for Jav

  • #386101 ITP: cglib -- code generation library for Java

  • #417888 batik: new upstream version

  • #419761 libstruts1.2-java: newer upstream versions available



Also, while building jarjar, I submitted some patches to fix warnings (but I don't see my mail on the list archive at the moment).

fop 0.93 in Debian

I've uploaded fop 0.93 in Debian. As it's a new upstream, it'd take some time (or could be rejected if I messed up!). In the mean time, you can add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

#avdyk@people
deb http://people.debian.org/~avdyk/debian/ ./
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~avdyk/debian/ ./

With these lines, you'll be able to get libxmlgraphics-commons-java (which is needed by fop). This is a new lib so it's not yet in the archive, that's why you could have problems to install fop at the moment: #423196.

Some Debian work...
