Blam!
Built, and uploaded Blam packages, they depend upon the Mono packages from the ximian APT component, make sure you have it in your sources.list (Screenshot below). Will build Tomboy as soon as Alex’s website is available, and I can get a proper tarball, rather than building HEAD.

Novell RSS feeds
Novell have finally, about nine months after I requested it, and was told that it was being worked upon, started producing news feeds in RSS 2.0 that I can add to Planet SuSE. Handily all the feeds that they’ve done thus far are SuSE relevant, so I’ve added them all. Nice one Novell, can we …

Mono
Anyone who regularly does an APT upgrade will have noticed that gtkhtml2 had a rebuild yesterday for no apparent reason. This was to allow it to play nice with the Mono packages from the ximian APT component. Having done that, I’ve been playing around with a couple of Mono apps, specifically Blam and Tomboy. For …

libgda
Rodrigo released 1.2.0 of libgda and libgnomedb. I filed bug #162471. It’s pretty much a team effort Switched to X.Org 6.8.1, wow, talk about seamless, the keyboard driver reference was succesfully changed to kbd, and all I had to do was rebuild my NVidia driver. (apt install xorg*).

Further updates
Updated netapplet package to 1.0.0, and patched it to use gnomesu rather than kdesu when launching YaST to configure the network settings, this speeds things up incredibly, even on my P4 3.4GHz, the delay in starting kdesu is considerable, it’s hardly noticable when starting gnomesu. Might well update that patch to provide a message that’s …
