Posted by Mehdi in June 29th 2011  

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!

First Tunisian Debian mirror

Posted by Mehdi in May 31st 2011  

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, [...]

Aubry en a marre !

Posted by Mehdi in May 16th 2011  

Le prochain qui fera un scandale au Parti Socialiste aura affaire à Martine Aubry !
P.S.: Photo trouvée sur le site de 20minutes.fr. Elle montre Martine Aubry donnant le départ de la route du Louvre à Lille, le 15 mai 2011.

Oops!… I did it again

Posted by Mehdi in April 8th 2011  

Well, I still don’t feel ready enough to go back to (real) work. So, once more, I had to get my fingers on something to hack and I picked the Buildd Status Pages once more. It’s not my favorite project, but I decided to implement the few remaining ideas and get (temporarily) done with it. [...]

Buildd status pages: say goodbye to external dependencies

Posted by Mehdi in April 6th 2011  

Last week, I had to put my daily (real) work off for a bit, to get some rest.  I took this occasion to implement a few ideas I had for the Buildd Status Pages. Mainly, I wanted to get rid of my external dependencies which are:

https://buildd.debian.org/build.php which shows all build logs available for a package. [...]

Asking questions, the Free Software way

Posted by Mehdi in October 13th 2010  

Recently [1], Zack, from an original idea of Jorge, asked the project whether it makes sense to have a debian instance of Shapado (a free software web application for question and answer support for our users). The idea was well accepted and http://ask.debian.net showed up quite quickly[2].
More recently, I stumbled upon an article[3] which announces [...]

Buildd status pages

Posted by Mehdi in June 16th 2010  

Recently, I started to write some web tool to track the status of ongoing transitions in unstable. 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 [...]

UbuntuDiff updates

Posted by Mehdi in June 4th 2010  

Since the recent announce of http://ubuntudiff.debian.net, some people started using it and asked for a few features. Lately, I’ve been working on it and tried to implement the following:

Use a single page (instead of a small HTML page with a lot of JS)… well, that was easy
Show the debdiff between the Ubuntu package [...]

Intrusion sur les serveurs Fedora/Red Hat

Posted by Mehdi in August 24th 2008  

Ou encore mieux comme titre
BlackHat attacks RedHat
Après la faille de sécurtié dans Debian, c’est au tour d’un autre grand géant de Linux ! Le 22 Août était un très mauvais jour pour Fedora et RedHat. Ils ont subi une intrusion et ils ne savent pas exactement où est le problème … ou ne [...]
