Bugzilla module for PaperBox ready

If you have been wishing to report a bug for PaperBox, that is now possible as a module in Gnome bugzilla was created yesterday.

Normally something like this is not for a blog post but since it has been more than a month since I’ve requested it, it feels like an important event. This clearly represents a problem for the Gnome project, especially at this time when the whole concept of the computer desktop as we know it is being questioned – for good reasons. In my opinion it should be extremely easy for developers (people with svn accounts) to start new projects – under a common flag, not spread across numerous project hosting sites. Over time, some of these projects would hopefully turn out to be successful ideas, and a foundation for the future.

So ways (more people) should be found to provide to instantly provide the developers a complete project infrastructure, not just a svn module. Actually, like many, I now prefer a DSCM tool like hg or git, but that’s slightly off-topic now.

In other news, there is now a PaperBox package for Arch Linux users, thanks to Michele.

And a new theme for my blog, much more pleasant for eyes then a white background, which to me now feels almost like staring at a light bulb. It does feel relaxing to switch to a dark background and an appropriate font color. In fact, I’ve been keeping my gnome-terminal and Emacs like that for a few years.
