Christian Perrier: Just do it

Please, pretty please, just do it. However, don't forget: Debian localization material is spread in thousands of packages, with dozens of different VCS, hundreds of developers and hundreds of thousands of strings for up to seventy languages. And there are less than 5 people running all this. So, yeah, there are fancy "insert your favourite l10n tool of the day here" everywhere and we should rather be using them. But nobody prevents anybody to build something better than we we have now. Really, nothing. Do-ocracy, as we use to say. Just do it and, in the meantime, suffer with us with what we have.

Christian Perrier: Languages to be deactivated in Debian Installer

If I follow the policy we chose in D-I, I should deactivate languages that are not complete for what we call "sublevel 1" and "sublevel 2" in code Debian Installer. At this very moment, it means that I would deactivate (stats in parenthesis are those in these sublevels, respectively): For several of these, the fix is easy! So, even if you're not the person in charge officially for the said language, please get in touch with me (bubulle@d.o) if you want to complete the translation. For some of these languages, where contact with the translator in charge has apparently been lost, it could be their only chance to stay in wheezy.

Christian Perrier: 2012 update 16 for Debian Installer localization

Looks like things are pretty much stalled now. Should I conclude that we have "only" 33 active translators while we have close to 70 supported languages? Sad. Isn't it?

Christian Perrier: [life] [running] Ecotrail: done!

Everything is here. Indeed not: one can't write about the feeling you get when climbing the Old Lady stairs after 78 kilometers suffering in the woods. I was close to resigning at km55 when cramps were showing up and my left ankle (which I twisted a week before) was nothing but a big ball of pain. And I finally managed to put the head lamp and resume running in the now desert woods of western Paris. Given the probably very high rate of resigns in this race (cause by an unusual heat), this is already a great result. Now...recovering....and looking forward to the next goal: Caen marathon in early June.

Christian Perrier: Back on Planet Debian

Because of problems on name servers for the eu.org domain, my blog was not on Planet Debian for 2 weeks. Now I'm back, which explains why I "spammed" Planet last night with posts that seem a bit outdated, for some of them.

Christian Perrier: [life] Running update

We're now 2.5 months in 2012 and I'm indeed getting closer of my first big goal of the year : the 80km run of Paris Ecotrail. The race takes place next Saturday, March 24th, with a start at 12:00 in the South-West of Paris area (close to our place). The race is mostly a trail race in woods and forests in the neighbourhood of Paris, going up and down in our small hills and valleys, passing along pools and lakes and indeed showing the natural beauties we have less than 20km away from center Paris. The race ends at the Eiffel Tower. And they really mean it! The race ends at Eiffel Tower's *first floor* after climbing the steps there. Those of you who have been there can imagine the surprise of tourists from all over the world when hundreds of "road warriors" wearing water backpacks, head lamps and looking a bit tired come and climb the Old Lady's stairs. So, in case you happen to be touring in Paris on the week-end of March 24-25, just pop up at Eiffel Tower around 10-11pm (yes, at night) and try to spot a bubulle crawling up there to reach the finish line..:-) To prepare this, I already ran 538km in 2012, mostly done either with my daily commute runs...or with week-end long runs (up to 37km on march 4th, and many others above 20km). I ran two half-marathons as well: one in February, where I nearly broke my record, finishing it in 1h37'45" even though this is a quite though race with two hills. I was very in shape that day and was lucky to run with a friend setting the pace for me, which helps a lot. Another half-marathon last Sunday in Rambouillet was also a good race, though I was secretly hoping to break my record there (the race is flat, much more than the former one). I had however to slow down from a 4'35"/km pace to 4'50"/km in order to preserve my condition. And, finally, I completed the race in 1h39'53". So, two half-marathons in less than 1h40 again. That sounds promising for the Ecotrail (even if there nothing similar between a flat half-marathon and a hilly ultra-trail) and also for the next marathon, in June. I'll keep you posted about the Ecotrail race but I can announce in advance that I'll be using the Runtastic app on my brand new Android phone, and people will be able to follow my race live here. And you'll even be able to cheer at /me..:-) Next running update on Sunday 25th to give you the outcome....

Christian Perrier: [life] No more teens at home...

So, since Wednesday, we have no more teenagers among our children. Indeed, our youngest, Magali, turned 20 and we happily celebrated that in a japanese restaurant in Paris : Magali is living in a (very) small flat in Paris as she attends preparation courses for exams meant to enter physical therapist schools. She's currently working very hard to prepare these and is left with only one week before the first exam. We're 100% confident that she'll succeed. Really, the days where our little shrimp was crawling across her bed, turning clockwise and finally sleeping in the width of the bed....do not seem so far. And still, these folks we call "our kids" are now grown-up persons living their own lives : Jean-Baptiste (some of my friends reading this blog have met him at DebConf 10) will soon enter profesionnal life after graduating an engineering school in electronics, at 24. Sophie, now 22, will resume her social worker school in Bordeaux in September and will probably start working as social worker ("assistante sociale", in French) afterwards. And we hope that our little shrimp (which her sister calls "mini-poop") starts a physical therapist school next year. So, well, more and more, Elisabeth and I are old parents and weeks where we're indeed both alone at home are now common (not to mention weeks where only one of us is alone either because she has professionnal commitments on some other side of the planet or I have some free software event on another side of the planet). It is indeed really likely that this year's holidays will be the first ones where we have a distant travel...which we'll be doing alone. Holidays in Nicaragua (you probably guess why Nicaragua) are much awaited and will be enjoyed a lot, but still...:-) So, well, to all those of you who read this and are parents, or plan to become parents, be happy. The wonder that it is lasts for years and it's very hard to describe precisely the link that connects parents and their children. At least the one we have with our children, which both us and them are proud of. And that pride and this link have no price. I really wish you guys to develop the same with your newborns (particularly those of you who very very very recently became parents anbd, yes I mean you who know who you are...).

Vasudev Kamath: ttf-indic-fonts to fonts-indic transition complete!

We in Debian-IN team where maintaining ttf-indic-fonts a set of fonts for all Indian language fonts from various origin. This package used to build around 7 to 10 binary package of different Indian language. The source package ttf-indic-fonts was itself a mess. It was a native package it was mixing all fonts with active upstream and inactive upstream together which was hard to maintain. Last April I transitioned this package from old packaging style (which version I don't remember) to dh7 standard. At the same time bubulle asked me it would be great if I can rename the package to Fonts team new packaging policy Even though I was just beginning with Debian packaging I dared to propose a draft :) Well it was in May and now its March 2012 almost one year over and We have successfully finished the transition and Kartik uploaded all packages to Debian. Now Debian-IN team maintains 62 packages and me? Yeah my package count jumped from 12 to 38! Almost close to close to number of packages Kartik is maintaining :) Please do the testing report any bugs! Cya

Vasudev Kamath: Lato Fonts for Debian

For giving new look to my blog I was trying out a lot of fonts from the FontSquirrel website but none of them satisfied my taste. While searching for the fonts identi.ca website fonts attracted my notice and the font used was Lato. I found it and used in this website. I was wondering why such a nice font is not present on Debian. Since it was on FontSquirrel that means the license should be friendly. So searched for the font in DuckDuckGo and found their website. So after all Lato fonts where under Open Font License which is DFSG compilant. That was sufficient for me to package it for Debian. Here is the ITP for fonts-lato and its already uploaded to Debian and waiting in the NewQueue Thanks to bubulle for uploading it quickly. Hope Debian users will love this new font. And yeah I packaged it using dh-make-font which I wrote majorly with help of my friends. And one more news is its waiting to be added into dh-make package here.

Christian Perrier: Bug #660000

Beatrice Torracca reported the Debian bug #660000 on Wednesday February 15th, against wide-dhcpv6. That one makes me happy, because it is occurring during one of my numerous l10n "NMU" proposals and it is likely that I'll be the one who closes it (unless J r mie Corbier reacts to my l10n NMU proposal). It also makes me happy because Beatrice is participating to the great localization work of the Italian team where she is one of the most active contributors along with Francesca Ciceri. Hats off to italian ladies! Bug #650000 was reported as of November 25th. 2 months and 20 days for 10,000 bugs. The rate didn't really change and I expect it to increase a little bit as quality work related to release preparation will be increasing in the upcoming months. As usual, see you about 2.5 months for bug #670000 but, in the meantime, I might be "celebrating" Debian bug #666666. We all like nice numbers, isn't it?
