  23 <p>Some updates.</p>
  24
  25 <p>My <a href="http://pledgebank.com/gnash-avm2">gnash pledge</a> to
  26 raise money for the project is going well.  The lower limit of 10
  27 signers was reached in 24 hours, and so far 13 people have signed it.
  28 More signers and more funding is most welcome, and I am really curious
  29 how far we can get before the time limit of December 24 is reached.
  30 :)</p>
  31
  32 <p>On the #gnash IRC channel on irc.freenode.net, I was just tipped
  33 about what appear to be a great code coverage tool capable of
  34 generating code coverage stats without any changes to the source code.
  35 It is called
  36 <a href="http://simonkagstrom.github.com/kcov/index.html">kcov</a>,
  37 and can be used using <tt>kcov &lt;directory&gt; &lt;binary&gt;</tt>.
  38 It is missing in Debian, but the git source built just fine in Squeeze
  39 after I installed libelf-dev, libdwarf-dev, pkg-config and
  40 libglib2.0-dev.  Failed to build in Lenny, but suspect that is
  41 solvable.  I hope kcov make it into Debian soon.</p>
  42
  43 <p>Finally found time to wrap up the release notes for <a
  44 href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu-announce/2010/10/msg00002.html">a
  45 new alpha release of Debian Edu</a>, and just published the second
  46 alpha test release of the Squeeze based Debian Edu / Skolelinux
  47 release.  Give it a try if you need a complete linux solution for your
  48 school, including central infrastructure server, workstations, thin
  49 client servers and diskless workstations.  A nice touch added
  50 yesterday is RDP support on the thin client servers, for windows
  51 clients to get a Linux desktop on request.</p>
