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.

Bram Stolk has created a 'self organizing map' visualisation of the dependencies in Debian packages.
It depicts all packages from testing/main with 5 or more dependencies. Instead of visualizing the dependencies directly, a classification has been made.
In the chart, all packages that have highly similar dependencies are grouped close together. Alternatively, packages placed on opposite sides of the map truly have wildly different dependencies. Clustering is present at all scales. Unfortunately, some clusters are too dense to read.
