After years of missing this conference, I will finally make it to Brussels this time! I will even have some talks, one about Listaller (in the lightning-talks section) and one about AppStream and Listaller in the Distributions track. The lightning-talk will explain why distributing (some) applications independent from the distribution makes sense, and how Listaller […]
Tanglu Beta2 now available!
While writing this post, I recognize that we might need a news-blog for Tanglu 🙂 Since yesterday, we have an (installable!) Beta2 release of Tanglu! Compared to the previous snapshot, it comes with a huge amount of improvements and bugfixes: The systemd journal is now used for logging exclusively. You can install rsyslog to get […]
AppStream Clarifications
While reading stuff posted by others about AppStream, and because of the discussion happening about AppData on kde-core-devel right now, I feel the need to clarify a few things. Especially because some are implementing AppStream in a way which is not really ideal right now. This is to some extend my fault, because I should […]
Tanglu update & release plans
Long time with no article about Tanglu! This was mainly because we were busy with the project itself, improving various aspects of the distribution. So, here is a new summary on what has been done and what you can expect from the first release 😉 Tanglu QA We further improved the automatic archive QA. There […]
Some Tanglu updates…
Long time since I published the last update about Tanglu. So here is a short summary about what we did meanwhile (even if you don’t hear that much, there is lots of stuff going on!) Better QA in the archive We now use a modified version of Debian’s Britney tool to migrate packages from the […]
PackageKit, AppStream and Listaller – A status report
I was asked by some people to write a status report about the whole PK/AS/LI stuff – sorry guys that it took so much time to write it ;-). PackageKit (PackageKit is an abstraction layer for package-management systems, allowing applications to access the package-manager using simple DBus calls) PackageKit is an incredibly successful project. With […]
Paketverwaltungen: Warum ist alles so kompliziert?
(Dieser Artikel ist hauptsächlich, aber nicht ausschließlich, eine Antwort auf einen Artikel von [ENC]BladeXP’s Blog) Allgemeines Ich kann leider hier nicht alles ganz detailliert für Einsteiger erklären, da dann dieser Artikel mindestens doppelt so lang werden würde. Wenn ihr aber Fragen habt, könnt ihr die gerne in den Kommentaren stellen! Ein kurzer Hinweis am Rande: […]
Ein kurzes Update (mal wieder)
In letzter Zeit kam ja extrem wenig auf dem deutschen Teil meines Blogs. Das bedeutet aber keineswegs, dass in der Zeit nichts passiert wäre – eher im Gegenteil. Zum einen hat die Uni extrem viel Zeit in Anspruch genommen (das war absehbar, und wird auch wieder passieren…), zum Anderen gab es sehr viel in der […]
Tanglu status report
Hello everyone! I am very excited to report about the awesome progress we made with Tanglu, the new Debian-based Linux-Distribution. 🙂 First of all, some off-topic info: I don’t feel comfortable with posting too much Tanglu stuff to Planet-KDE, as this is often not KDE-related. So, in future Planet-KDE won’t get Tanglu information, unless it […]
Tanglu
Hi everyone! Today I make an announcement I thought I would never ever make. But things changed. Discussion about this has a long history, starting as a non-serious suggestion at DesktopSummit 2011, continued with people on IRC, but it was decided back then that it wouldn’t be worth the effort. This has changed too, and […]
