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.

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.
