I have to troubleshoot a buggy relationship between a mail client (thunderbird) and an IMAP server (dovecot), regarding notification. That’s when the server informs the client about new mails, as opposed to the client polling the server to get this information. There’s this stackoverflow thread with some very useful exemple code. Unfortunately, it’s old, and […]

It’s been a while since the last release of EmergeActivity. There were some fixes, but nothing really worth a release, so mostly everything was ok. Still, it was based on Qt4/PyQt4, and times passes, so I’ve finally found time to port EmergeActivity to Qt5. That and a few fixes/features seemed enough for me to increment the major number, hence […]

Time flies, and I haven’t made any release of Colibri for a long time, despite it being used in production and bug being fixed as they are found. So here it is. No shiny new feature there, it’s mostly about bug fixing, code cleaning and updating the code. More importantly: Colibri now requires Django 1.6, […]

Emerge activity is a small PyQt application aimed at Gentoo users that displays an “activity” graph of the emerges.  Here’s a typical example on my desktop computer : For those wondering, the huge increase in 2009 is when the Gentoo KDE team decided to split KDE packages, and the drop in 2011 is when I stopped […]

I recently needed (again) to ‘browse’ a redmine database, and I used my DjangoRedmineAdmin application to do so. I took this opportunity to update the code and doing some more tests/fixes. As a result I decided to tag this as 1.0. The main modifications are: updated to comply with current redmine version (1.2.1 and 1.3.0) […]

I’m still using this small utility that displays the activity of ’emerges’ on the misc gentoo boxes I’m admin for. I’ve wanted to add a graphical interface for very long, but did not have the time… until recently. So here it is. It is available for download from the homepage and as a mercurial clone.

As time goes, my mercurial ‘activity’ plugin has got more and more options. Useful and requested options of course, but still it kinda clobber the –help output and it is more and more cumbersome to play with. This is why I have introduced a new frontend, based on Qt, to play/decide about those options. First, […]

Well… you know how it is, you get used to a tool, and even if some brand new software is now available, you keep on using this old stuff. In his case, i’m speaking of xv, whose last release was in 1994. It’s still my default viewer for all image formats in my KDE/firefox/whatever settings. […]
