Really need to start blogging again...

Today, with vorlon's (Steve Langasek) help I finally found a problem why my package rhythmbox-applet doesn't build on 64-bit archetictures. It's because of kinda stupid mistakes in glib-gettextize.m4. Ppl, dgettext and ngettext return a pointer to a string or NULL, not integer with return value. And those checks in GLIB_WITH_NLS fails because of -Weror, because of type size mismatch. I did a quick patch and also packaged a new upstream version. Should be in unstable today or tommorow. Let's see if it builds on ia64, alpha and amd64 now.

I'm also talked about that problem on #gnome-debian and I'm going to ping glib upstream about it.

My Debian AM (application manager) finally checked my Philosophy answers and now I'm answering on Procedures questions. So, I'll become a DD sooner! :)
