—–BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE—– Hash: SHA256 Hi, I am not using my old GPG key, 0x98EF9A49 anymore.

Please don’t encrypt message to me using the old key […]
Daniel Pocock just wrote a blog post about how to setup mailman for virtual hosting. Well, it strikes me that mailman is a bad solution, for many reasons. First, it imposes you to use @lists.example.com lists instead of @example.com. I’m not sure if that is mandatory, but at least I’ve seen only mailman setups done […]
I have finished preparing the beta 2 of the next release of OpenStack. It is currently only available from out Git on Alioth (in /git/openstack), and directly from my jenkins repository, which creates Wheezy backports for it: deb ftp://havana.pkgs.enovance.com/debian havana main deb http://archive.gplhost.com/debian havana-backports main As for every OpenStack release, a large number of Python […]
It seems to be a new fashion. Instead of tagging software with a normal version number, many upstream adds a one letter prefix. Instead of version 0.1.2, it becomes version v0.1.2. This sickness has spread all around in Github (to tell only about the biggest one), from one repository to the next, from one author […]
Will that be enough? Let’s load some VMs in that beast! :)
What has always been annoying me with Xen, is that xentop is… well … a piece of shit! It just displays the current numbers of sectors or network bytes read / write. But as an administrator, what you care about, is to know which of your VM is taking all the resources, making your whole […]
The below is written in the hope it will be helpful for my fellow DDs. Why using “build after push”? Simple answer: to save time, to always use a clean build environment, to automate more tests. Real answer: because you are lazy, and tired of always having to type these build commands, and that watching […]
Seeing what has been posted recently in planet.d.o, I would like to share as well my thoughts and work-flow, and tell that I do agree with Joey Hess on many of his arguments. Especially when he tells that Debian fetishises upstream tarballs. We’re in 2013, at the age of Internet, and more and more upstream […]
Step one: building OpenRC, and force it with a big hammer to replace sysv-rc. A few minutes later, with even more hacks, we have a more decent boot process which uses Gentoo boot scripts (amazingly, most of them do work out of the box!): Notice the udev script, which is hacked from the Debian sysv-rc, […]
This post is just a status update for the Openstack packaging, after the next version froze last week. The Openstack bi-annual summit of next April will take place this year in Portland, Oregon, and if everything goes as plan, Grizzly will be released just before the summit. Grizzly will be out a bit before the […]
