goodbye nanoblogger, hello chronicle

after having used nanoblogger since august 2005, I decided to switch my blog engine. the reason was mainly that nanoblogger gets terribly slow with more than a handful of entries.

inspired by nhandler, I took another look at chronicle, which had caught my interest before already. it's simple, produces static html pages from text files that I can keep in git, & it's written in perl :)

let's see how many years chronicle will accompany me …

RC bugs 2012/50

have I said before that we are running out of easy RC bugs? the list is a bit short this week:

~~#677861~~ – src:lftp: "lftp: FTBFS[kfreebsd-i386]: error: conflicting declaration 'typedef __int32_t gl_intptr_t'"
sponsor upload to t-p-u from Ivo De Decker
~~#680100~~ – libatomic-ops: "libatomic-ops/powerpc: FTBFS: eats all disk space in the known universe (almost, anyway)"
backport fix for t-p-u, upload with maintainer's and release team's permission
~~#691015~~ – conserver-client: "conserver-client: fails to upgrade from testing: Can't locate Tie/Hash/NamedCapture.pm in @INC"
update regexp to use numbered capture groups, upload to DELAYED/2

to make up for this poor performance, I've uploaded ~14 new lib.*-perl packages to the NEW queue yesterday & today :)
