/me agrees with cturner.

In other news, I finished reading my second computer book :). Damn, ADD is a pain in the ass. Anyway, the book was See MIPS Run which I recommend photocopying; the author isn't very nice. Next in line: the dragon book.

New ones are here and here.

There is no ROSWELL beta

Packaging is hard. Lets go shopping!

Discovered that there's really no good way to match a package up with its source package if you've got that package on more than one arch. Suck.

I'm missing OLS because I'm heavily involved in the next RHN release, and we're in the painful grind point of the project. *sigh*.

In other news, I've got a prototype for generating sql (possibly of any variety) from a live oracle database, and diffs between two db's probably isn't very far off. So I might be able to do "schemaDiff oracle_db pg_db" and get some postgresql sql which makes the schema look alike. Obviously, data convesion is still a manual process, as are store procedures (including check constraints :/), but its a start.

It also shouldn't be too hard to generate the SQL schema from any other db type.

Startled DV pretty well earlier. Thats about it today.

Wrote the code required to rename Oracle constraints this morning. Its really more trouble than it should be.

Hacked on diet libc some more. Many thanks to fefe for starting such a cool project.

deven: nothing is wrong with it -- the persons who have certified you merely do not have enough combined trust to bring you to a trusted level.

Found some really bad things and set about getting them fixed. Midway through this, Bryce mentioned that he may be leaving. I'm sorry to hear this, and I hope it isn't my fault.

So I got a new car yesterday. Pictures will be up once I manage to have time during the day and get them processed and scanned. That probably means next week sometime.

hacker: Because you haven't yet sent in a patch. duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.
