About La Salle Debain

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.

The YUI Package Needs Your Help

The Yahoo! User Interface toolkit Debian package is buggy due to being rather neglected by me of late. Luckily it seems most of the bugs can be solved by removing flash files for which no source is provided and rebuilding the rest. Today, I finally got around to doing that. The problem is it doesn't seem to be possible to build YUIs .swf files from the actionscript files upstream provides with the tools available in Debian. Actually, I don't know if its a problem with the tools or me not knowing what the hell you're supposed to do with actionscript files. If you do know about such things, please take a look at the work in progress (git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-javascript/yui.git) and get in touch with me.
