Aaron Spuler's Mozilla themes

After posting a screen shot from my Mozilla browser, several people asked me about the theme... The theme is called Apollo and it was made by Aaron Spuler. There are nice themes accessible from his site: MozThemes.tk

Kaffe status in Debian

I posted a summary with comments about the bugs of Kaffe in Debian. Some are Debian related, others are related to Kaffe (upstream)... Will we be in time for Sarge?..

Ten Days Off!..

Sunday @ Voorhuit: 10daysoff... strong! It's the third time we go there with my best friend. First year, we saw Idjut Boys (...) and a female dj from Paris (she did kick our ass!): Clementine; second years, we were completely wet dancing with 2ManyDJ's! This year, we saw a legend: Francois Kevorkian. As far as I know, he mixed only with his computer!.. What was the soft?! It could be mixxx but I'm afraid it's something proprietary :'(... who knows? We also danced on Luke Vibert (also known as Wagon Christ - last album: sorry i make you lush). He played music only with his Apple Powerbook 15"! What a live! Excellent!.. but what was the software?.. Rosegarden4? Ardour? The two lasts are in Debian... mixxx isn't yet. By the way, I got a lot of things to learn with Linux and Sound(s)... I hope a good start will be the OpenJay.org portal...

Debian-(free-)java front!

kaffe in testing
Kaffe entered to testing last night! This is a great news because a lot of the effort in MovingJavaToMain was based on building these java packages with Kaffe. Another good news is that a lot of these packages can now be build with SableVM (which is also in testing). We have two powerful free java virtual machines in main and in testing. Of course, there is also gcj/gij and a new virtual machine has just enter the pool, packaged by Michael Koch: jamvm.
libservlet2.3-java in main
The other great thing yesterday was the move of libservlet2.3-java from contrib to main. This will make it possible to move approximatively 5 packages from contrib to main!

MovingJavaToMain...

Four more Java packages have reach Debian main... libservlet2.3-java is in the queue... http://java.debian.net/index.php/MovingJavaToMain

kaffe in Debian is getting better... and better...

I'm glad to see a lot of people helping kaffe to build on most of the Debian arches. The new kaffe package is in the archive (thanks to ftpmasters and thanks to Doogie!), its design is more flexible and it's more easy to build it. Kaffe builds now on IA64, S390 and hppa (and of course i386 and ppc). Sparc and mipsel may follow...
I'm still waiting for libcommons-pool-java to enter in the pool in main, then I'll be able to move 3 more java packages from contrib to main.

Debian will be the first to package kaffe 1.1.5!

Kaffe 1.1.5 isn't out yet. A branch has been created and the official 1.1.5 should be out next week, but I can't wait! This release integrate a lot of improvements in gnujaxp, added gjdoc as a javadoc alternative etc... Thanks to Ean who set up a machine at Brainfood and thanks to Doogie who worked a lot on the package. I've uploaded the pre1.1.5 release but it may take some times because there are some new packages built by the source...

MovingJavaToMain progress

I sent an announcement about the status of the MovingJavaToMain Debian tasks. Thanks to Takashi Okamoto who did a lot with his packages.

All night long!

Paaaaarty!
It has been a long time I did not spend the whole night out! My wife and I went on the birthday of one of my best friend. A terrific night as you can see with the pictures. I saw friends (like Pocket and his girlfriend Clémentine, Nico who did not changed, Youh who will be travelling in South Corea next week for a year or more!, Axel's girlfriend Nathalie, Pipo, Jean-Pol, Phil, well known DJ Philippe Kosak, and another old school DJ I know for years!), some, I didn't meet for more than 5 years!.. Also Gilles, one of the best blues guitarist I know (maybe the only one I know but he is very good!), I didn't see him for years!.. The bad thing was we came home at 7.00am and I have to be on the tennis court at 9.00am!.. The other guy was not so good and stopped after I won 6-2 1-0!.. I came home at 8.00pm... Sunday was a hard day!..
