+ <description><p>Just for fun I had a look at the popcon number of ZFS related
+packages in Debian, and was quite surprised with what I found. I use
+ZFS myself at home, but did not really expect many others to do so.
+But I might be wrong.</p>
+
+<p>According to
+<a href="https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=spl-linux">the popcon
+results for spl-linux</a>, there are 1019 Debian installations, or
+0.53% of the population, with the package installed. As far as I know
+the only use of the spl-linux package is as a support library for ZFS
+on Linux, so I use it here as proxy for measuring the number of ZFS
+installation on Linux in Debian. In the kFreeBSD variant of Debian
+the ZFS feature is already available, and there
+<a href="https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=zfsutils">the popcon
+results for zfsutils</a> show 1625 Debian installations or 0.84% of
+the population. So I guess I am not alone in using ZFS on Debian.</p>
+
+<p>But even though the Debian project leader Lucas Nussbaum
+<a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/04/msg00006.html">announced
+in April 2015</a> that the legal obstacles blocking ZFS on Debian were
+cleared, the package is still not in Debian. The package is again in
+the NEW queue. Several uploads have been rejected so far because the
+debian/copyright file was incomplete or wrong, but there is no reason
+to give up. The current status can be seen on
+<a href="https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-zfsonlinux-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org">the
+team status page</a>, and
+<a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-zfsonlinux/zfs.git">the
+source code</a> is available on Alioth.</p>
+
+<p>As I want ZFS to be included in next version of Debian to make sure
+my home server can function in the future using only official Debian
+packages, and the current blocker is to get he debian/copyright file
+accepted by the FTP masters in Debian, I decided a while back to try
+to help out the team. This was the background for my blog post about
+<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Creating__updating_and_checking_debian_copyright_semi_automatically.html">creating,
+updating and checking debian/copyright semi-automatically</a>, and I
+used the techniques I explored there to try to find any errors in the
+copyright file. It is not very easy to check every one of the around
+2000 files in the source package, but I hope we this time got it
+right. If you want to help out, check out the git source and try to
+find missing entries in the debian/copyright file.</p>

- <title>Nedlasting fra NRK, som Matroska med undertekster</title>

- <description><p>Det kommer stadig nye løsninger for å ta lagre unna innslag fra NRK
-for å se på det senere. For en stund tilbake kom jeg over et script
-nrkopptak laget av Ingvar Hagelund. Han fjernet riktignok sitt script
-etter forespørsel fra Erik Bolstad i NRK, men noen tok heldigvis og
-gjorde det <a href="https://github.com/liangqi/nrkopptak">tilgjengelig
-via github</a>.</p>
-
-<p>Scriptet kan lagre som MPEG4 eller Matroska, og bake inn
-undertekster i fila på et vis som blant annet VLC forstår. For å
-bruke scriptet, kopier ned git-arkivet og kjør</p>
-
-<p><pre>
-nrkopptak/bin/nrk-opptak k <ahref="https://tv.nrk.no/serie/bmi-turne/MUHH45000115/sesong-1/episode-1">https://tv.nrk.no/serie/bmi-turne/MUHH45000115/sesong-1/episode-1</a>
-</pre></p>
-
-<p>URL-eksemplet er dagens toppsak på tv.nrk.no. Argument 'k' ber
-scriptet laste ned og lagre som Matroska. Det finnes en rekke andre
-muligheter for valg av kvalitet og format.</p>
-
-<p>Jeg foretrekker dette scriptet fremfor youtube-dl, som
-<a href="http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_enkelt_laste_ned_filmer_fra_NRK_med_den__nye__l_sningen.html">
-nevnt i 2014 støtter NRK</a> og en rekke andre videokilder, på grunn
-av at nrkopptak samler undertekster og video i en enkelt fil, hvilket
-gjør håndtering enklere på disk.</p>
