Two PRs and an ongoing patch

| Development

ZHAO Xin (a colleague of mine) has pointed out that GNOME Simplified Chinese does not did a good work when displaying time. He then filed ports/72722 and ports/72723.

Adam Weinberger (adamw@, one of the major FreeBSD GNOME maintainers) has then pointed out that it might be better to contact the Simplified Chinese Translation team. In a private mail, I have explained that the root cause of the issue, however, is that our libc implementation does not implemented the GNU Extensions, say, the -_^0 extensions of strftime(3). Adam have then kindly approved that the patches should be committed, and we should have a long-run solution then finally remove them.

Investigating 5.3-RC1 panic

| Development

Before reporting this to the list, I would first gather enough information.

Alu’s server boxes is suffering in continued reboot when server is loaded. Because he is supporting FreeBSD by utilizing 5.3-RC1 in his production environment (and it’s moderately loaded as it is connected to the ChinaNet Backbone), and donated many devices for dedicated services of the FreeBSD China Community, I think we must help him to solve these out.

I have plugged a new kernel configuration on his box in order to obtain a (potential) crashdump and figure out what is happening. Maybe we will get it tomorrow.

Debian值得我们学习的地方

| Development

很多人管Debian叫「大便」,不过这里我还是宁愿称其为Debian。

今天ld说了Debian的包的一个比较有意思的维护模式,我之前也了解一些,那就是它的stable和unstable包。Stable和Unstable两种。

书生拿着书在打瞌睡

| Shared Chaos

书生拿着书在打瞌睡。

欣赏他的人说,你瞧,他多用功,睡着了还拿着书。

不欣赏他的人说,你瞧,他多懒惰,一拿着书就睡着了。

看的人不同了,书生就不是那个书生了。

你爱他的时候,他的缺点都是优点,你不爱他了,他的优点也成了缺点。

看的眼光不同了,他就不是他了。
