- 13:42 Ticket #404 (Research and report regression in OO.o) created by
- The 3.0.1-9ubuntu3.1 security release for openoffice.org appears to have …
- 11:10 Changeset [24052] by
- In alpine-config: * Disable GSSAPI on the command line if the user doesn't have tickets.
- 10:12 Changeset [24051] by
- In reactivate: * Change back to mounting the login snapshot as ext3, since that was substantially hurting performance.
- 08:57 Changeset [24050] by
- Removing KDE from extra-software again. I still don't understand exactly which metapackage brings in what in which version of Debian or Ubuntu, and I don't want other changes to this package to block on us figuring it out.
- 04:28 Changeset [24049] by
- In thunderbird-config: * Kill the Kerberos settings stolen from the thunderbird locker - they don't seem to be necessary. * Set mail.server.server1.useSecAuth, which secretly means "use SASL."
- 03:34 Ticket #403 (mitmailutils should use krb5) created by
- mitmailutils are currently using krb4 and Hesiod. Instead they should use …

- 22:08 Changeset [24046] by
- In the metrics connector interface, don't use a potentially blocking loop if we get an event we don't know about.
- 22:03 Changeset [24045] by
- Add logic to metrics code to wait for 1ms before actually reading events from the connector. This batches a bunch of quick successive events together, rather than continually waking up the gatherer, which minimizes the performance impact to the rest of the system.
- 21:37 Changeset [24044] by
- Add a missing dependency on debathena-gdm-config to metrics.
- 21:34 Changeset [24043] by

This daemon captures any path executed by the user over the course of their session, any packages installed by the user, and the total length of the login session. The collected information is sent to wslogger when the user is logged out.

- 17:17 Changeset [24034] by

- 17:10 Changeset [24033] by

- 03:26 Changeset [24029] by
- Fix a dumb typo in reactivate's control file.
- 02:58 Changeset [24028] by
- In order to let gdm-config add the new diversions at approximately the same time that reactivate is dropping them, we can't use DEB_UNDIVERT_FILES, so write some more clever code of our own instead. (Because gdm-config's postinst was triggering before reactivate's, it was to trying and create the diversions before reactivate had removed them.)

09/18/09:
- 16:22 Changeset [24009] by
- Two user-friendliness tweaks to the installer. - If you have ubuntu-desktop installed, suggest using sudo to become root. - Don't prompt about debathena-build-depends; it's a strange question for normals, and devs are assumed to be able to know how to install this package on their own.
