So why should Australia&8217;s national Linux conference take on board a sponsor who engages in practices that are at odds with the community What am I talking about A company which should not be in the picture has poked its nose in as a sponsor. Novell, which indicated the level of its...http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/blog/2008/01/11#2008-01-11-lca-sponsors Baby Got Bloat- January 8, 2008 With the whole incipient git obsession I&8217;ve been cleaning out some of my scratch dirs. In one, last touched in mid-2006, I found: Oh. My. God. Becky, look at that bloat! It's so big... It looks like one of those Microsoft products... Who understands those Microsoft guys anyway They only code that crap because they're paid by the line... I mean the bloat... It's just so slow... I can't believe it's so laggy... It's just bloated...

When did it start to become routine &8230; My mr and etckeeper setup made it easy to check everything back out from revision control. &8230; &8230;I&8217;ve been looking at getting all my stuff version controlled too. I&8217;ve just gotten round to checking all my dotfiles into git, and it crossed my mind that...http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/blog/2008/01/05#2008-01-05-user-etc tempus fugit- January 3, 2008 I blogged a fair bit about darcs some time ago, but since then I&8217;ve not been able to get comfortable with the patch algebra&8217;s approach to dealing with conflicting merges &8211; I think mostly because it doesn&8217;t provide a way for the user to instruct darcs on how to recover from a conflict and continue on. I&8217;ve had a look at bzr since then, but it just feels slow, to the point where I tend to rsync things around instead of using it properly, and it just generally hasn&8217;t..http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/blog/2008/01/03#2008-01-03-git |
