Hi! My SoC project is nearly finished now, which unfortunately doesn’t mean that we will have a completely usable Software Center on all distributions – but the most difficult steps are done, all specification issues solved and I talked to many people from other distributions about the AppStream project and we made lots of progress.

PackageKit now parallelized!
With the most recent release of PackageKit, PackageKit 0.8.3 (published last Monday!), all my changes regarding parallelization have been merged into our master branch, which means parallelization features are now available for backends to use! Yay! The best thing about the new parallelization is that it will have an incredibly high impact on PackageKit’s speed: […]
Meet the Tux!
A little follow-up from my last post about birthday presents: I guess I can now consider me a real Linux user/developer, because I now own a big plush Tux, like every good Linux user should do: A great present ^^ The Tux is now sitting next to my desk and I hope he will have […]
Listaller 0.5.4 released!
And again, a new release of Listaller is out. But this release is special, it is probably the most important Listaller release so far. I’m glad to announce the availability of the first usable release of Listaller. “Usable” in this case means that you can build Listaller packages, without having to worry that their format […]
Wanted: KDE color management KCM
I don’t know how many of you are reading Planet GNOME, but I bet not too many. 😛 That’s why I’d like to draw your attention to this blogpost by Richard Hughes. Color management is present in all modern operating systems, including Microsoft Windows and Apple OS-X, as well as GNOME has support for it […]
Endlich: OpenGL-Unterstützung für LibVisual-Actors in GStreamer
Eine sehr lange Geschichte geht endlich zu Ende: 2005 wurde eine Anfrage im GStreamer-Bugtracker gestellt, um Unterstützung für LibVisual-Elemente einzubauen, welche OpenGL nutzen. Was hat man davon? Der Nutzer darf vor allem wesentlich bessere Musikvisualisierungen in Anwendungen wie Rhythmbox und anderen Musikplayern, die die LibVisual und GStreamer nutzen (Totem) betrachten. Außerdem wird nun der LibVisual-Actor […]
Ein neues Projekt: LibDanceTag
Es ist mal wieder Zeit ein neues Projekt anzukündigen, welches bei mir nebenher mit relativ niedriger Priorität läuft. Das sagt aber gar nichts über den Nutzen der Software aus… Das Projekt, um das es geht nennt sich LibDanceTag, wobei es sich – wie man schon vom Namen her raten kann – um eine Programmbibliothek handelt. […]
Announcing LibDanceTag
It’s again time to announce a new project I’m working on. This is a low-priority project, so you don’t need to fear that the other stuff I’m doing will get less attention 😀 This new project I’m talking about is LibDanceTag, which is – you might already have guessed it – a shared library. This […]
Listaller 0.5.1 – Kurzvorschau
Vielleicht habt ihr es mitbekommen: Listaller 0.5.1 (alpha) wurde vor ein paar Tagen veröffentlicht. Listaller 0.5.1 wurde vollständig in Vala neugeschrieben. Aber der Wechsel der Programmiersprache ist nicht der einzige Aspekt, der dieses Release “besonders” macht: Dies ist das erste Listaller-Release seit 10 Monaten! Und dies ist die erste Veröffentlichung des neu orientierten Listallers. Während […]
Listaller 0.5.1 Sneak Peek
You might have heard it: Listaller 0.5.1 was released some days ago. Listaller 0.5.1 is a complete rewrite in Vala. But the Vala rewrite is not the only thing which makes this release “special”: This is the first Listaller release after 10 months. And this is the first release of the “reoriented” Listaller. During the […]
