Uploaded new Beagle packages (versioned 0.1.5, which is today’s CVS). These use the new UI and it’s seriously cool. Have followed the new SUSE package naming and stripped out a couple of extra sub-packages, so here’s the full list of what’s been uploaded: beagle-0.1.5-1.0.i586.rpm beagle-firefox-0.1.5-1.0.i586.rpmbeagle-0.1.5-1.0.i686.rpm beagle-firefox-0.1.5-1.0.i686.rpmbeagle-0.1.5-1.0.src.rpm beagle-python-0.1.5-1.0.i586.rpmbeagle-devel-0.1.5-1.0.i586.rpm beagle-python-0.1.5-1.0.i686.rpmbeagle-devel-0.1.5-1.0.i686.rpm libbeagle-0.1.5-1.0.i586.rpmbeagle-epiphany-0.1.5-1.0.i586.rpm libbeagle-0.1.5-1.0.i686.rpmbeagle-epiphany-0.1.5-1.0.i686.rpm libbeagle-devel-0.1.5-1.0.i586.rpmbeagle-evolution-0.1.5-1.0.i586.rpm libbeagle-devel-0.1.5-1.0.i686.rpmbeagle-evolution-0.1.5-1.0.i686.rpm

Spent the weekend celebrating Amanda’s birthday, which was yesterday. Went out for a lovely meal Saturday night at Trattoria Antonio in Nottingham. Have also spent some of the weekend wrestling with Beagle CVS and SUSE’s patches. I think I’ve won at last so by the end of today I hope to have packages uploaded that …

Unlucky for some… Add Danny to Planet SUSE. Danny works for SUSE, on mobile devices. (Does that mean laptops, or PDAs?) We’re gradually getting Bailey used to his new home, and to being handled and he’s starting to get quite friendly which is nice.

Wrote just over 2100 words on CTW201 today, and handed both it and BS203 in. In fact, CTW201 went in on the stroke of 16.00 (the deadline) and boy was it a relief!

Uploaded new abiword packages of version 2.4.2. These come with a fully loaded plugin set across the two plugin sub-packages. We got our new hamster at the weekend – he’s a long-haired honey rust, and his name is Bailey. BS203 exam on Monday seemed to go okay. The text study for it, and the CTW201 …

Uploaded updated gstreamer010-plugins-base packages that remove the broken post install and uninstall scripts – expect an error when upgrading as the previous version’s broken uninstall script is run. Thanks to Stanislav will be doing another update with the cdparanoia plugin enabled. CTW201: 625 words

I’ve uploaded packages of Banshee that use GStreamer 0.10, and add support for NJB based MP3 players (Creative Nomad, Zen, Zen Micro, Dell DJ, and more). The GStreamer 0.10 backend is experimental at this time, so be careful

Just before Christmas, I noticed that SUSE had built GStreamer 0.10.x packages and put them in the GNOME supplementary repository (package name is gstreamer010), but hadn’t built any of the plugins to go with it. So, I’ve uploaded what you need: gstreamer010-plugins-[base/good/bad/ugly] as well as gstreamer010-python (Python bindings) and pitivi, a new video editing application …

Thanks, Stephan, this could be a really handy way of maintaining multiple VMs for package maintenance on different versions of SUSE, I shall have aplay with it…
