something around Debian, written in funny Eng"r"ish ;)
Time flies, I'm still busy, but I'll give a talk at Tokyo Debian Meeting online about "Make legacy .deb package modern (live demo)" Why live demo? Because I'm busy and don't have a time to prepare docs for it... ;-)
"master is wrong word!!! Stop to use it in tech world!!!" Oh, such activity reminds me of 无产阶级文化大革命. Just changing the words does not solve the problems in the real-world, IMHO (of course, it's my opinion, may it be different from yours).
Through my daily job, sometimes I should use zoom for meetings and webinar but several resources indicate that they didn't pay enough security effort to their product, so I've decided to remove it from my laptop. However, I've found a weird message at that time. The following packages will be REMOVED: zoom* 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 45 not upgraded. After this operation, 269…
https://github.com/PyMySQL/PyMySQL/issues/829 OSS Maintainers should better learn to read with understanding! And yes they are tech support, and yes because the software is free tech support also should be free.If you release software you take responsibility. Such idiots like you should never be maintainers to anything. Oh, moron.
I've uploaded fontforge package into experimental . It needs huge changes in debian packaging. > $ git diff debian/1%20170731_dfsg-2 HEAD debian|wc -l > 2565 It'll help python2 removal since it provides python3-fontforge for building font packages. Other work: follow several pacakges to latest upstream releases, fix Multi-Arch things and lintian warnings, add salsa-ci.yml and enable CI on salsa,…
mmdebstrap is fast because it uses apt for package dependency resolution and download. Yeah, it's true, almost right - but most of the reason for "fast" is just about "downloading packages", I guess. debootstrap uses wget for download packages, it's serial execution so it waits for each download and mmdebstrap - apt does not do so. If you use "--cache-dir" option for debootstrap, exec time is…
We ate a delicious cake to celebrate Debian 10 "buster" release, at party in Tokyo (my employer provided the venue, cake and wine. Thanks to SIOS Technology, Inc.! :) Hope we'll do the same 2 years later for "bullseye"
For people who use Debian as docker base image... Do not use ftp.debian.org as your apt line in docker image, use deb.debian.org instead. It chooses near mirror where users are If you use old Jessie, use cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org instead of deb.debian.org. Since old apt in Jessie cannot handle redirect Do not use httpredir.debian.org, it is obsolete
Suddenly I noticed that maybe I can use --cache-dir option that I've added to debootstrap some time ago for pbuilder, too. Then hacked it . > original real 3m34.811s user 1m6.676s sys 0m33.051s > use aptcache for debootstrap real 2m52.397s user 0m59.660s sys 0m28.631s It cuts 40s for creating base.tgz. Nice, isn't it? :) Hope pbuilder team will accept this Merge Request and push it to buster since…
Well, probably you know about a recent apt security vulnerability. Debian mirror servers are not run by Debian system admins but mirror admins kindly offer their servers and network capacities to our users. So, providing https support depends on them, we cannot force it. How about starting from providing https support for our security.debian.org mirrors? Then, ask whether they can provide https to…
Hi, we'll hold an event " Debian Bug Squash Party Tokyo 2019-01 " (19th, Jan). Happy bug squashing, see you there! :)
As described in Debian Wiki , for check test the "secure boot" feature on a real hardware, we need more testers. So, brave "sid" users, please test it with your hardware and add its result to Wiki page. As always should you or any of your hardware be trouble or killed, I will disavow all of knowledge or your action. Good luck!
I've started to contribute to debootstrap in March . Since then, triaged and squashed a half of bugs (and sometimes made some regressions ;)
I've put new debootstrap version 1.0.112 into unstable today, it gets more speed than the previous one. Kudos to Thomas Lange for the hack. If you find any trouble with it, please let me know.
Some of Debian users don't know about its codename, they just know it's a stable version or Debian version.X (major version) like Debian9, and sometimes confuse with apt line ("hey, what does 'stretch' means?"). We probably can improve it as providing symlink in repository as below. $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ Debian8 main contrib non-free It's so simple -…
*sigh*. CoC should NOT be a beating stick, of course... 子貢問、「師与商也孰賢乎。」 子曰、「師也過。商也不及。」 曰、「然則師愈与。」 子曰、「 過猶不及也 。」
Dec 2014, security.debian.org mirror came to Hokkaido, Japan. And in September 2018, Huge earthquake (magnitude 6.7) has hit Hokkaido. It was a surprise because the Japan government said such a large earthquake would shake Hokkaido is less than 0.2% in 30 years. Below pics are left: after earthquake / right : before earthquake And it causes a blackout for the whole of Hokkaido, of course, it…
One of the biggest publisher in Japan, Kadokawa 's CEO (and also CTO of dwango, it runs " Niconico "), Nobuo Kawakami(川上 量生) claimed "To eliminate contents piracy, the Japanese government should filter DNS query except to ISP's DNS server (OP53B - Outbound Port 53 Blocking), and also block public DNS service, especially Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 and Google's 8.8.8.8 " at Japanese government…
I can't do anything, it's too hot and humid... hope it'd be better in Hsinchu, Taiwan. Yes, I'll go to DebConf18, see you there.
I've participated OSSumit Japan 2018 as volunteer staff for three days. Some Debian developers ( Jose from Microsoft and Michael from credativ ) gave a talk during this event. Got some stickers (why fedora? because I've got a help with introduce improvement from Fedora people as previously noted :)
I've committed to enable power-saving feature on laptops in Linux 4.17 in Debian package and it has entered in experimental repository . Please try it (and give a report if you get any trouble with it). Thanks to Fedora people to note its feature to its release note :)
I've introduced two features to improve debootstrap time, auto proxy detection via squid-deb-proxy-client (by Michael Vogt) and cache directory support. It reduces time to create chroot environment without huge local mirror. Let's create chroot environment without any new features. $ time sudo debootstrap sid sid-chroot I: Target architecture can be executed I: Retrieving InRelease I: Checking…
I found RHEL7.5 desktop is rebased to GNOME 3.26 . I hope Debian stable release could do such thing, then what's the blocker for it?
“Of course it runs NetBSD” Note: It runs Debian squeeze chroot on NetBSD 7.1.2, with Linux emulation
This weekend large typhoon is approaching to Japan, however, I went to UEC ( The University of Electro-Communications, 電気通信大学) to give a talk in openSUSE.Asia Summit 2017 in Tokyo . "... hey, wait. openSUSE? Are you using openSUSE?" Honestly no, I'm not. My talk was "openSUSE tools on Debian" - the only one session about Debian in that conference :) Photo by Youngbin Han (Ubuntu Korea Loco),…
