Present Perfect

GStreamer

Garnome is still a great way to get Gnome 2 running. Too bad jdub included a version of gst-player that doesn't build against the latest GStreamer core, and now we get people complaining. Spanking needs to be applied for that. In the meantime, we quickly released a slightly updated version of gst-player, 0.2.3, that together with a few patches builds against GStreamer 0.3.4.

GStreamer Player(1), soon in a Garnome 0.9.6 near you !

Bitches

Work on the "Build In True Chroot Environment System" is progressing nicely. At this moment, making snapshot rpms of GStreamer for Ximianized Red Hat 7.2 is a matter of :

 cd dist/redhat-72-i386-ximian-gnome2 make clean rpm-build cd ../.. cd goals/gstreamer-cvs make rpm 

This little script sets up the build root to be able to build rpm packages, then pulls GStreamer from CVS, parses the spec file, installs the BuildRequires packages in the build root and proceeds to build from that spec file. If all goes well, packages roll out in result/gstreamer-cvs. It's turning out to be a really nice system. If anyone wants to test a pre-version before I put it out, please let me know. I need a few testers.

At the moment, I'm also using it to find out the package requirements for garnome. Lots of work but pretty satisfying.

Music

Just found out that the Breeders are coming to tour Europe ! Sweet ! Kim Deal was my child hood rock'n'roll wet dream, so it'll be great to see her perform again ! And Lift To Experience are coming over *again*.

There is just too much good music being played live all over these days. <HR> (1) : we are taking suggestions on a good name because we can't work it out ourselves, being the democratic bunch of slackers we are.
