La Salle Debain
Open Source @ Consolidated Braincells Inc.
This is a weblog I'm keeping about my work on Debian and any other useful Debian related info I come across. It is not meant to compete with other news sources like Debian Weekly News or Debian Planet. Mostly it is just a way for me to classify and remember all the random bits of information that I have floating around me. I thought maybe by using a blog it could be of some use to others too. Btw. "I" refers to Jaldhar H. Vyas, Debian developer for over 8 years. If you want to know more about me, my home page is here.
The name? Debain is a very common misspelling of Debian and la salle de bains means bathroom in French.
If you have a comment to make on something you read here, feel free to write to me at jaldhar@debian.org.
You can get an rss 0.91 feed of the blog here.
Duffman thrusts in the direction of the problem. Oh yeah!
On Debian Policy
When your package contains GDFL docs
or when it break other programs
it stores passwords in mode 666
has incorrect dependencies
that's RC.
When you think that rpath is justified
just because libtool inserted it there
and don't use -fPIC,
libtool is a fool
and you are retarded.
When you have to use Minix
and there are conf files in /usr/local/etc,
Lintian will say,
you had it coming.
