Present Perfect

GStreamer

Slowly building up steam. Reinstated the autobuild on an online server that some friends and me have set up. Also tried to set up an autobuild on the company's development server. At first I was annoyed because it runs RedHat 7.3 to match the production servers in use. But Matthias told me to "just use mach" to set up any version I want. Damnit, how can one person be so nice and devious at the same time ?

Silly that I hadn't thought of it myself. I proceeded to set up an RH9 environment, which went quickly enough. It's the first time I used mach on an older platform to install a newer platform, and it seemed to work out fine too. Which isn't what I would have expected.

Running the cvs build script from cron will still be a one-liner, since it's just a matter of prefixing it with the magic mach incantations.

So, after that I need to find some way to get the script to mail gst-devel whenever the build status changes; ie. mail on the first break.

We also hope to be moving to Freedesktop for CVS hosting. The main attraction is being able to manipulate the CVSROOT directly. Secondary attractions are the fact that SF's cvs is still flakey, and freedesktop has some good goals we want to align with.

At the moment I'm collecting developer ssh pubkeys so I don't have to bother the housekeepers at FD too much.

Trying to integrate our FFmpeg cvs slurping with automake, I think I'm going to separate the package entirely sometime soon.

Music

Wanted to try and catch the Strokes here in Barcelona on monday. That is, until I found out they charged 28 euros. For a band that has only two albums out, and is known to play no longer than an hour ! Somebody scream ripoff !

I think I'll wait for Lamb next week, at least their concerts are probably worth the money.

Fantastic news: Twilight Singers are touring Europe soon ! Going to Belgium to see them if my boss will let me. Hope they come through Barcelona too.

On the headphones this morning: Spiritualized - No God Only Religion
