I’m really happy to be able to attend DebConf11. It will be my third DebConf. I hope it will be as productive and enjoyable as past editions I’ll arrive on July 20th and stay until the end of DebConf.
See you all there soon!

It seems that Tunisia hosts a new shiny complete Debian mirror since a few days. It’s available at http://debian.mirror.tn. It even has all release architectures, which was a good surprise. Possibly, this new mirror will get its ftp.tn.debian.org some day if it implements all the requirements (which are listed here). As far as I know, [...]

More recently, I stumbled upon an article[3] which announces [...]

I thought I could use some code from the Buildd status project (to see how it fetches the status for each package). Unfortunately, this caused some nightmares for some WB admin (because they used to rely [...]

Show the debdiff between the Ubuntu package [...]
