Heh, nice ARK bug report !! Some guy reported that a 400 Mb ( !! ) tar.gz file is causing ARK crash.. That's ok, could be a bug, but see their log report: ... /bin/tar In file tools/qgarray.cpp, line 126: Out of memory ... Well, i'll try to figure out a better way to handle this better than add more swap or another memory chip :-) This specific bug will be reassigned to core kdelibs developers, since ARK uses ktar class, not owns implementation ( how beatifull is KDE class structures :-), but i thought that other file types can be suffer of same disease... Hard is create a compressed file large than 400 Mb with a slow harddisk..

Well, another package race... Since security flaw announce in KDE ( Konqueror ), i'm running to finishing another set of kde packages to Conectiva Update. Now has three diferent machines compiling diferent versions of KDE... Meanwhile, i send Conectiva packages to kbear project ( BJörn is doing great job ), fixed some bus in my bugzilla list. My personal audio app repository got a stop in this weekend, i was in at my friend's home ( almost a brother ), in my fathers town, to their 1 year son birthday. Well, the party was more for us ( old friend guys ) than the boy. Many people, good times, many laughs.. I wish places in Brazil was a bit closer and this moments not so rare..
