For those of you who don't use experimental, the 1.6.x branch of wicd has been sitting there for some time. It had some bugreports, and I closely cooperated with upstream to get patches merged.

Here we come then, wicd 1.6.1 has been uploaded to unstable. Upstream merged all the patches I provided them (yay!), and it has lots of improvements from 1.5.9.

Addio, nonno.

Because of the recently announced attack against the SHA-1 digest algorithm, I finally decided to move away from my old 1024-bit DSA OpenPGP key, landing to a shiny new 4096-bit RSA one.

The Bash Completion Development team is proud to announce the release of
bash-completion 1.0!

This release features many new improvements: first of all, the upstream
development is now driven by a cross-distribution team. We now have people from
Debian, Mandriva, Gentoo, Exherbo, RedHat/Fedora, and we're hopefully going to
grow more! See the AUTHORS file for more information.

Other than that, many new completions have been added, and plenty of bugs

Si chiama Linux Joint Day e si terrà Sabato 28 e Domenica 29 a Villarosa in provincia di Enna, il quinto meeting ufficiale dei pinguini siciliani in una "due giorni" caratterizzata da incontri, dibattiti e seminari sull'utilizzo delle tecnologie libere, sul free software e sull'indipendenza della Rete.

Oltre ai Linux User Group dell'isola, aderiranno all'evento in uno spirito di condivisione e apprendimento collettivo anche altre associazioni, movimenti e controculture digitali made in sicily, l'associazione VerdeBinario di Cosenza, nonché i principali hacklab della regione.

Eheh, I'm getting older... 22 today!

I just wanted to put down some of the important things happened to me this year...

I've just uploaded wicd 1.5.9-1 to Debian/unstable. From this version onwards, to be able to use wicd-client to connect to the wicd daemon, you need to be part of the netdev system group.

I know the "git tips" meme is over, but I found this in git-fetch(1) and, as I find it extremely useful, I'm posting it.

Just add these lines to your ~/.gitconfig:

[url "git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/"]
    insteadOf = alioth:

Then, if you need something from collab-maint, just use git clone alioth:collab-maint/repo.git , easy!

P.S.: I did not include my username in the URL because I have it set up in ~/.ssh/config.

Yes, definitely: http://www.bash.org/?464385

Dear Julien,

that proposal is not about censoring mails sent in by people. Think to it as that "karma" thing many sites have.

And yes, I'm one of those in favour of such project. I'm a free {software,speech} guy, but just hate all the flames seen lately on -devel. We must find a way to stop that, or at least to control it.
