Mobile broadband configuration assistant on it’s way to Fedora 11
I noticed a new NetworkManager/wpa_supplicant/mobile-broadband-provider-info update is now in Fedora 11 updates-testing. This update includes the mobile broadband configuration assistant and the mobile broadband provider database which are based on the work Antti Kaijanmäki did in Summercode Finland 2008. This how the first screen of the assistant looks like. I actually tested the assistant on […]

Weekly report: week 34
Last week was a lot about fighting with Texinfo. As I’ve probably said earlier as well, makeinfo –docbook is supposed to make DocBook XML. But it doesn’t really work that well. In the best case, it produces something that is well-formed XML but not really DocBook if you validate it against the DTD. Which means […]

Weekly report: week 33
Last week introduced a lot of code cleanups, some of which will also hopefully save some memory. I also made a fix for one problem we had with my Fedora test environment, but I’m not sure if it’ll go to Moin main branch, as it seems Moin was meant to give up and crash at […]

Weekly report: week 32
Last week I implemented support for translated man pages, fixed yet more bugs and did some serious code cleanups and refactoring as suggested by Thomas Waldmann and pylint. I got a public test wiki setup from the Fedora Infrastructure project, we spent about a day setting it up with Paulo Santos, also with some help […]

Weekly report: week 31, bugs, connection troubles, Assembly
Last week didn’t go actually according to my plans, but I did get some major improvements done. I improved repository metadata handling a lot, the code is much cleaner and should also work better now. I did a great deal of testing on updates handling, it seems to be working now. Then I hit two […]

Weekly report: week 30
Last week was pretty much completely about fixing bugs in the info page handling code. I worked for about 45 hours on my project. The most significant change was that I decided to use primary.xml too, so that I could reliably find the source RPM for corresponding to each binary RPM with info pages. Before […]

Weekly report: week 29
I would have liked to make a blog post about how everything is just working that I had on my TODO list last week. But sadly that’s not quite the case. Updates handling works, though it still needs some testing. Info page importing kind of works, but there’s a problem. I use makeinfo –docbook to […]

Weekly report: week 28
Sorry again that this report is a bit late. When there’s code to be written, blogging seems to be secondary 😉 Last week’s work described in short: I implemented RPM repository support. And that was a lot more work I would have imagined. First download ands parse repomd.xml to see checksums of the repository, then […]

Weekly report: week 27
I posted something on Thursday, but here’s “the official” weekly report. I spent last week mainly on implementing SisterDiff and it’s completed now. First I had to familiarize myself with Moin’s Action interface. Then I thought I could maybe use the functions from an other action, LikePages. But after some testing, that didn’t seem to […]

Mid-week report
Just a quick update on what’s going on: Sister diff is completed. So the only features missing from milestone 1 are “mass importing” of man pages and info page importing. It might be that I’ll leave the whole info page thing to next week, since there’s the problem that I mentioned in my previous post […]
