10:21:49 # Life apt-listbugs now uses misato.debian.or.jp rather than bugs.debian.org, it should be working again, I suppose?
13:25:00 # Today's hack Wrote a patch to allow fetching of the original submitter of the bug report and the title of the bug, in debian-changelog-mode and debian-bigs.el
08:11:56 # Life Tested dsh on TestDrive HP-UX, which is an architecture without asprintf, and the testsuite did pass.

I guess it's fixed in 2.3.2-4.
- debian/patches/arm-output-format.dpatch: Very bad hack to avoid
problem with libc.so on ARM until a proper fix is forthcoming.
19:20:15 # Life After hacking I have a patch against jack, a patch to enable checks other than "CPU MHz" in /proc/cpuinfo. All arches have different text
07:59:06 # Life G5 benchmark on slashdot tells me that new G5 isn't that fast ? SMP ability is a bit of a tricky question, which doesn't really matter for those people who make PC clusters with slower interconnect... But it would really be an enjoyable beast to play with. It was on sale 10 days ago, apparently.
19:35:14 # Life Close jack bugs that don't seem to be relevant anymore. 195896 197625
06:12:58 # dinstall/dupload Maintenance of pbuilder. I've updated documentations. I value documentation updates more than code updates. Having up-to-date documentation of free software is valuable.

08:56:03 # Life Noted down the current issues with dsh-vulnerability. In summary, there is no vulnerability. I only have this stupid "lol..." comment on the code to search what kind of vulnerability they are talking about; but I deeply suspect that this is bogus. I have "make check" routine which checks for the vulnerability now. I'll go and try other architectures later.
there are followups to the list. And I guess it was a false alarm.
07:25:07 # Today's hack Fixed readme-debian.el. I've not touched devscripts.el for a while now. It was a pretty interesting project to hack.
22:20:05 # Life I've received the following error message.

21:42:22 # dinstall/dupload canna, pbuilder, xphoon. I fixed error checking routines on pbuilder-uml.

06:44:36 # Life LVS Howto mentions dsh. Linux Virtual Server is a clusterized system, I suppose. Somewhere between High-performance and High-availability?
06:45:55 # Life Advisory on dsh on BugTraq. Interesting. An advisory that cannot precisely address the upstream source. asprintf replacement that is used when asprintf is not provided by the Operating System has a security hole. So, the operating systems that do not have an asprintf are vulnerable with dsh.
06:54:36 # Life canna was orphaned, so I adopted the package. I joined some mailing lists.
08:11:32 # Life libjack does not enter testing yet. It probably needs manual intervention.
