Debian released today! Woohoo! Time to apt-get upgrade a couple dozen boxes all over the place.

Some CUPS status: It builds. Tonight, assuming all goes well, I'll test for upgrade-cleanliness and the like, and upload to woody. I've got some other things to do, though, as well, so we'll see how far I get. I may just upload whatever I end up with tonight and invoke the "it's called unstable for a reason" excuse.

Noticed the Printing Summit stuff from advogato's article on the GPL. Wow. I think I'm going to try and play with some of this at some point - assuming I think it's more important than splitting pstoraster from the rest of CUPS and making straight gs a replacement for it. Assuming that's even possible.

It would be nice if prospective employers would return my phone calls when I ask for a status report.

Welcome one and all. This site looks interesting, and even if I never get anywhere on the rating system, it at least provides me with a chance to post rants and other stuff. Which could be a good thing, or not.

The biggest thing: lots of people have asked me about CUPS 1.1 packages for Debian woody. So, here's my status.

I had almost working packages for beta 3 not too long ago; there were only some upgrade issues from 1.0.4. Then I merged in 1.1.1. Now the thing doesn't build; it appears easysw did some fun stuff with the build parameters and such. So, I'm slogging away at it. I'm a bit distracted with some personal issues at the moment, but hopefully we'll get this done soon.

Well, enough for now. Enjoy my simply scintillating prose!
