xmms2_0.2DrGonzo-1
![[SIGNED]](http://perldition.org/static/common/images/lock.png)
The xmms2 project released 0.2DrGonzo recently.
I've prepared packages for it, but as the new release adds two new plugins I needed to add two new binary packages. Therefor it'll need to go through the NEW queue again.
In the meantime you can grab the source package and build it yourself for your architecture:
rafl@debian.org
After one year, three months and twenty-fife days in the new maintainer process, which mostly consisted of waiting for other people, I can now call myself a Debian Developer, yay! Thanks to all those people who sponsored my uploads so far, especially Joachim Breitner.
Mass Bug Filing
Today I reported quite a lot of bugs against outdated Perl packages. I did that semi-automatically using a small script that compares versions of packages in Debian and on CPAN. I didn't made a public announcement or warning before so I got flamed right away. However, I think it improved the quality of Perl packages in Debian a bit. Until know around 20 packages with, partially vintage versions, have been updated since this morning. I guess a lot more will follow.
Pugs in the Debian archive
Pugs finally made it into Debian. Yay!
Also haskell-src-exts, which we need to get hs-plugins in to get Haskell eval support for pugs, got in today.
Pugs 6.2.9 packages
Debconf5
As you probably already know I were in Helsinky from the 10th to the 17th of july to visit the 5th Debconf. It was my first Debconf at all, but it was really productive.
For example we have now Debian Packages for Catalyst in the official archive that will be comaintained by Jaldhar H. Vyas, Krzysztof Krzyzaniak and me.
Beside that there is now also a pugs package in a shape that's good enough to be uploaded to the archive. We'll only need to wait for ghc6 to use libgmp3c2 before we can do that.
But it wasn't only productive at all - we had a lot of fun as well! For example while playing the Debian Board game (which is pretty close to monopoly) or while dancing at the first Linux Ball in world history.
I'm already very sure that I'll be in Mexico next year as well. :-)
