My Debian Activities: Multiarch & upstart on kFreeBSD hacking

Looks like there is a recent trend to publicize one's debian activities, so I thought I should join in =) Not so sure if MDA acronym would work for these types of posts... Multiarch I have been working on multi-arching additional libraries. In particular I am working on multiarching boost libraries. At the moment boost1.53 multiarched libraries are uploaded in the experimental, and I am still working out the quirks with those. At the same time I have submitted a patch to multiarch libicu-dev, which has been accepted by the maintainer and is currently waiting in new queue.  This brings us closer to multiarching all of boost libraries. But as it has been pointed out at the Multiarch BOF at Debconf'13, one doesn't have to wait for dependencies (be it libs or lib-devs) to be Multiarched before multi-arching your own library.

Hello Debian, Planet and Debconf12

I'm going to Debconf12 Hello Debian Planet! I have recently became a Debian Developer. One of the first things I did, was fix some RC bugs in my packages due to an ABI break from upstream in a point release. Then I fixed some bugs in  offlineimap... Little did I know, that I broke it for many Debian developers including  my ex boss and the Debian Project Leader  all at the same time. Speaking of which, any help will be appreciated in hunting down a memory leak in offlineimap. I am going to Debconf12, thanks to my employer . I am interested in Python/dh_python[2-3], dh, 3.0 (quilt) with a DVCS, lvm2, mdadm, btrfs-tools, autofs, e2fsprogs, dm-crypt, debian-installer, init-systems & friends, OpenERP, offlineimap... if you are as well, find me and talk to me =))) Regards, xnox
