With recent baselayout-1.12 pre releases, we’ve changed the default timeouts so things like wpa_supplicant, netplug and ifplugd jump straight into the background and mark the net service as inactive. This is great for fast boots, but it had a problems bug #112088, #118801 :?
Well, those have been solved whilst keeping our nice defaults :) Several other important issues have also been resolved 8) The bad news is that all of this has forced quite a few changes in the code, but everything seems peachy on all my boxes ;)
With the recent flame fest on-dev about a lack of vision and innovation its always nice to hear other people praising my work, especially when they’re a respected Kernel developer :)
And with recent ego stroking from fellow Gentoo dev brix about how easy and flexable the networking config is in Gentoo on IRC yesterday I really do have the Warm Fuzzy Feeling of a job well done :D
Of course, it’s not done yet- baselayout-1.
bash-3.1-r2 hit ~ARCH last night which works with baselayout-1.11.However, it does not work with baselayout-1.12. which I corrected this morning. Hopefully everything now works baselayout-wise with bash-3.1 :)
Which is bad. Luckily I keep backups- unluckily I lost my entire pgp keyring including my revokation cert as directories with .g* weren’t being backed up for some odd reason.So I’ve had to make a new one.uberlord@gentoo.org 0xa699fcd1I’ve tailored my backup not to skip the .g* now. Maybe I did that so the bloated GNOME stuff didn’t get backed up all the time. At least all the KDE stuff appears to be under .
So, recent conversion to KDE I’ve been using Konqueror as my default browser. It’s come a very long way since I last used it all those years ago- it’s now quite slick. In many ways I now prefer it to Firefox as it loads much much faster, uses less memory and is integrated to a higher level in the DE and relevant applications than Firefox.
However, it’s not without it’s cons either.
