New ports committer: Henrik Brix Andersen

At last, I couldn’t ignore reality anymore and could not protect Henrik against being punished for his ever lasting mails with patches. He was therefore punished with a FreeBSD ports commit bit and I myself will be his mentor. Wish him luck!

8-CURRENT and tinderbox

Currently, the 2.x branch of tinderbox doesn’t support 8-CURRENT. marcus added support for it in the HEAD branch, and from that, it looks like a patch to rawenv just like tinderbox.env in HEAD makes ports build in 2.x as well. A new release is due any day now, but this might help if you can’t wait for that.
miwi just sent me the patches for 2.x, portbuild needs to be changed as well, so you’ll need: patch1 and patch2.

EuroBSDCon 2007 and sightseeing Malmö

Last Friday and Saturday, it was time again for this years EuroBSDCon, this year closeby in Copenhagen. All the usual suspects were present and mingling occurred during the the hallway track. For me, the most notable talks were the TCP-to-SCTP Translation Shim Layer by Ryan Bickhart, which might make testing SCTP services more easy. Pawel had spiced his ZFS talk up a bit with some superheroes, leaving people laughing on the floor. And with technology progressing, we also had the first virtual presentation by Sam on video, who unfortunately had the flu and couldn’t make it. Luckily I don’t have to deal with monkeys chewing on cables every day :-)

Brix and me had taken my motorbike over and were staying at Morgans place in Malmö. The weather was very nice for the time of the year, so on Sunday we did some sightseeing around Malmö, including a ride in the old tram. Almost like a mini vacation walking around there. More pictures here.

New ports committer: Jung-uk Kim

While Jung-uk Kim has been a src committer for over 2 years, he has also started helping out on the java ports. A bit too much and too good, so glewis has punished him with a ports commit bit additionally to his src bit. Welcome to the ports people!

Århus

I just returned from the small beerfestival Århus at Aarhus Bryghus. While not that big, it was quite cosy place with both the large Ceres brewery and the smaller regional breweries like Odder Bryghus and Raasted Bryghus. Also a nice touch to hold the festival in the middle of a real life microbrewery. Michael wrote a bit a bit about our stand and beers with some pictures as well. Have a look at his site.
