Волна

Google заявил о выпуске Волны-в-Коробке:

...

We will expand upon the 200K lines of code we've already open sourced (detailed at waveprotocol.org) to flesh out the existing example Wave server and web client into a more complete application or "Wave in a Box."

...

This project will not have the full functionality of Google Wave as you know it today. However, we intend to give developers and enterprising users an opportunity to run wave servers and host waves on their own hardware.

Теперь каждый сможет развернуть свою собственную Волну на собственной железке. Это не может не радовать.

Про Debian

Определено имя для следующего, седьмого, релиза Debian:

We will continue to use Toy Story character names for squeeze's

successor. The next release will be called ``wheezy'' (the rubber toy

penguin with a red bow tie), and will be Debian 7.0.

Что характерно, Визи это пингвин :)

Бэкпорты переехали (backports.org moved to backports.debian.org)

The website [1] and the mirror moved to http://backports.debian.org/ and the

archive is now available below debian-backports/. Even though we expect the

old entries to continue to work for a while, you might still want to update

your sources.list entry to:

deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports lenny-backports main contrib non-free

or one of the mirrors[2] that do carry the backports archive.

Moving backports master to a newer version of the debian archive kit (dak)

brings support for dpkg version 3 packages, so from now on debian-backports

will accept dpkg source 3.0 packages without changes.

...

While we were at it, the backports branch for squeeze has been added as a

squeeze-backports suite, which enables the installer to add (maybe commented)

entries for it on fresh installations. For now uploads to it are disabled

however, to be enabled after the release, whenever it'll happen. This will be

announced separately.
