+ Regjerningens oppsummering av høringen om standardkatalogen versjon 2 +
+
+ 2009-07-09 14:40 +
+ +
+ +

For å forstå mer om hvorfor standardkatalogens versjon 2 ble som +den ble, har jeg bedt om kopi fra FAD av dokumentene som ble lagt frem +for regjeringen da de tok sin avgjørelse. De er nå lagt ut på NUUGs +wiki, direkte tilgjengelig via "Referansekatalogen +v2.0 - Oppsummering av høring" og "Referansekatalog +for IT-standarder i offentlig sektor Versjon 2.0, dd.mm.åååå - +UTKAST".

+ +

Det er tre ting jeg merker meg i oppsummeringen fra +høringsuttalelsen da jeg skummet igjennom den. Det første er at +forståelsen av hvordan programvarepatenter påvirker fri +programvareutvikling også i Norge når en argumenterer med at +royalty-betaling ikke er et relevant problem i Norge. Det andre er at +FAD ikke har en prinsipiell forståelse av verdien av en enkelt +standard innenfor hvert område. Det siste er at påstander i +høringsuttalelsene ikke blir etterprøvd (f.eks. påstanden fra +Microsoft om hvordan Ogg blir standardisert og påstanden fra +politidirektoratet om patentproblemer i Theora).

+ Taking over sysvinit development +
+
+ 2009-07-22 23:00 +
+ +
+ +

After several years of frustration with the lack of activity from +the existing sysvinit upstream developer, I decided a few weeks ago to +take over the package and become the new upstream. The number of +patches to track for the Debian package was becoming a burden, and the +lack of synchronization between the distribution made it hard to keep +the package up to date.

+ +

On the new sysvinit team is the SuSe maintainer Dr. Werner Fink, +and my Debian co-maintainer Kel Modderman. About 10 days ago, I made +a new upstream tarball with version number 2.87dsf (for Debian, SuSe +and Fedora), based on the patches currently in use in these +distributions. We Debian maintainers plan to move to this tarball as +the new upstream as soon as we find time to do the merge. Since the +new tarball was created, we agreed with Werner at SuSe to make a new +upstream project at Savannah, and continue +development there. The project is registered and currently waiting +for approval by the Savannah administrators, and as soon as it is +approved, we will import the old versions from svn and continue +working on the future release.

+ +

It is a bit ironic that this is done now, when some of the involved +distributions are moving to upstart as a syvinit replacement.

+ Debian has switched to dependency based boot sequencing +
+
+ 2009-07-27 23:50 +
+ +
+ +

Since this evening, with the upload of sysvinit version 2.87dsf-2, +and the upload of insserv version 1.12.0-10 yesterday, Debian unstable +have been migrated to using dependency based boot sequencing. This +conclude work me and others have been doing for the last three days. +It feels great to see this finally part of the default Debian +installation. Now we just need to weed out the last few problems that +are bound to show up, to get everything ready for Squeeze.

+ +

The next step is migrating /sbin/init from sysvinit to upstart, and +fixing the more fundamental problem of handing the event based +non-predictable kernel in the early boot.
