All views expressed on this site are my own. They do not necessarily reflect those of the Parish of Bursledon, the Diocese of Winchester or the Church of England. As such, I do not expect them all to be popular but you, the reader, can certainly expect them to be honest.

Luis: You're absolutely right about the importance of the Packaging Project. If we could get packages for RH/Fedora and SUSE of each stable and unstable release, including proposed modules, that would make it so much easier for people to submit useful bug reports.

I'm still planning on putting up some guidelines on creating .spec files that can be used to make RPMs for various distros, as I commented recently when working on this for Tomboy, I encountered possible problems if other --with options are used, but actually for the vast majority of GNOME modules, this isn't used at all, so I'll get them done as soon as possible so that module maintainers/hackers can start making changes to their modules. What would be really cool would be if this could be adopted as a policy for modules, I see part of the Packaging Projects role as encouraging those who look after the modules to make packaging easy. It doesn't have to be difficult.

Uploaded 2 new packages today: gDesklets and gTweakUI - hope you like them.

Also uploaded photos of Thursday's open air Eucharist service and this morning's commissioning service at college.

Update: Uploaded abiword-beta[-plugins-impexp/-plugins-tools/-clipart] version 2.3.1 - this will become the next stable version 2.4.0 eventually, get testing, and get filing those bugs.
