Splashy is more stable than ever. Please read notes from the release system on Alioth. https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=30657 splashy Luis Mondesi Fri, 08 Dec 2006 8:22:50 GMT http://alioth.debian.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2506 Hello, As some of you may know, the EDOS project (http://www.edos-project.org/), funded by the European Community, is developing algorithms and tools to enhance the infrastructure of free and open source software. We are collecting Debian metadata daily and running installability checks. For instance, today, 1.3% of the packages in unstable/i386 are broken. The worst in the past 3 months has been on September 10th and 11th with 7.8% and 7.7% of packages broken in unstable. These were particularly bad days for upgrading your packages. This data can be browsed online at : http://debian.edos-project.org/anla/ Therefore it seems that there are bad and betters days for upgrading your system. Having buggy packages is one thing, getting yourself stuck in an uninstallable mess of packages is another. Hence we recommend checking the Debian "weather" before upgrading ! To do this, you have two solutions : a) Web-based: Point your browser to http://debian.edos-project.org/anla/ For extra coolness, you can include live installability icons in your page with the following HTML code : An example can be seen at http://gallium.inria.fr/~durak/ b) Install our KDE panel applet ``kroll'' (written by Jaap Boender) or our Gnome applet ``weather'' (written by Fabio Mancinelli). Debian packages for i386 are available at: http://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=31055 You can also checkout their sources using SVN with svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/edos These applets will display, in your taskbar, a weather icon and a percentage describing the installability by loading that information from our servers. c) Write your own applet that parses the XML output available at http://brion.inria.fr/anla/weather?bundle=S&architecture=i386 http://brion.inria.fr/anla/weather?bundle=T&architecture=i386 http://brion.inria.fr/anla/weather?bundle=U&architecture=i386 where S,T and U stand for stable, testing and unstable, respecitively. All kinds of feedback, KDE/Gnome coding and packaging help are very welcome. Credits go to the WP2 team of the EDOS project, more specifically to Jaap Boender, Fabio Mancinelli, Jérôme Vouillon and myself. -- Berke Durak, for the WP2 team.

The lone developer hope this will increase the visibility of the project and attract new developers. chrpath Petter Reinholdtsen Mon, 27 Nov 2006 4:59:14 GMT http://alioth.debian.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2489 Biofox is now updated to work with Iceweasel. Bioinformatics extensions to Mozilla Nelson A. de Oliveira Tue, 21 Nov 2006 8:12:37 GMT http://alioth.debian.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2488 The gambc packages have entered Debian unstable. This version splits off the docs and the shared library. It has been configured with the --enable-single-host option for better performance. The b17 packages have been removed from Alioth; get your packages with apt-get. The gambc package includes a Scheme interpreter and a Scheme compiler which can be used to build standalone executables. The thread system is very efficient and can support millions of concurrent processes. The Gambit-C system conforms to the R4RS, R5RS and IEEE Scheme standards. The full numeric tower is implemented, including: infinite precision integers (bignums), rationals, inexact reals (floating point numbers), and complex numbers. Gambit-C supports a number of extensions to the standards. Homepage: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~gambit/ Debianize the Gambit-C Scheme System Kurt B. Kaiser Tue, 21 Nov 2006 6:15:36 GMT http://alioth.debian.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2478 I have converted the history from DARCS to GIT, using (a slightly modified version of) tailor, and imported tags manually.
