jhbuild problems
Overcoming (I hope) the mozilla problems I’ve encountered by manually checking it out, and then doing jhbuild buildone –no-network mozilla.

jhbuild (4)
Had another look at last night’s dbus build log, seems it was because it was trying to do something to the permissions on /usr/lib/monodoc/sources which is of course owned by root. So, I’m now doing a tinderbox build as root. Looks like I’m in business.

Marcus
I’d like to welcome Marcus to Planet SuSE. For a long time Marcus’ Advogato blog appeared to have been abandoned, but he’s started writing again recently, and I’m thrilled to have him on board, he works on various different things at SuSE, and he’s probably best known for his work on WINE and gPhoto.

Wedding
It’s my brother’s wedding tomorrow, so all the best to David and Cheryl as they prepare to start their new life together. We’ll be over in Liverpool for the wedding, so any urgent emails may be slightly delayed in being responded to.

London Attacks (7)
Justin: Think that’s US news going mad again, the BBC reports that the two men detained yesterday have been released without charge, and the police are searching for “four would-be suicide bombers”.
