Ok. Another time leap :-) Things are a little crazy here.
I'm having a little bit of personal problems, so don't expect much right now. :-(

Things here at conectiva couldn't be better. Well, they could, but since my boss will be reading this (hiya acme :-)), I better behave :-). Anyway, Conectiva Linux 6.0 release date is aproching fast. Lost of stuff must be ready for this release. Lots of packages need to be tested, upgraded and so on. I'm doing about 10 to 15 packages a day, so you can guess the workload everybody here is under. Not that is a bad thing. This is the first place I work that such a stressy workload does not create stress itself, nor make the working environment worst a bit.

Well, my personal projects are definitly on hold, for an underteminated amount of time. Sorry to say that. Lost of things to do here, and I have personal interest in most of them.

So, all in all, things are as good as I gets (:-)). Hope to have news to write here soon.

As a side note, I'm still doing compilations tests with all our packages and glibc 2.1.93 (2.2beta). Most programs work flawlessly. Some are givnig me problems, but I'm still using gcc 2.95.2. I guess most of them will desapear with gcc 2.96.
I'm also performing some performance tests with MTA's. The results will be published on the Revista do Linux magazine.
