Fedora GSoC: Week 14

Posted by ankur in Tech (129 words, approximately a 1 minute read)

A quick update (My internet subscription at home lapsed and I'm posting from office!)

This week was pretty constructive. I'm still working with Orion on fixing the DCMTK.cmake file. I need ITK to test Ginkgo-CADx but it's breaking in mock. Mario appears to be on vacation (where are you …

Fedora GSoC: week 13

Posted by ankur in Tech (118 words, approximately a 1 minute read)

I only worked 4 days this week. I had to rush back to college for my evaluations and had to request Susmit to give me some time off to handle it. I just got back today. The first order of things was to push python-hl7 to testing. You can try …

Fedora GSoC: Week 12

Posted by ankur in Tech (105 words, approximately a 1 minute read)

Kradview and freediams look like they're on the road to being approved soon. Freediams has a little issue with shared sonames, and I've emailed upstream requesting clarification.

I've just updated the python-hl7 spec and srpm at the review ticket. It's another easy package and should be approved in no time …

Fedora GSoC: Week 10

Posted by ankur in Tech (394 words, approximately a 2 minute read)

Like I had said, I didn't try to package any new applications this week. (I did actually, but I haven't submitted any review tickets this week). This week was about working on the existing review tickets.

To start with, "toothchart" was reviewed and approved. I'm grateful to Mario Blättermann, who …

Keyboard shortcuts to control mpd

Posted by ankur in Tech (268 words, approximately a 2 minute read)

I use ncmpc, which is a great great curses based client for mpd. However, my multimedia keys won't work with ncmpc. I've been looking around for a while, trying to make them work so I don't have to keep switching to ncmpc when I want to move to the next …

Fedora GSoC: Week 7

Posted by ankur in Tech (222 words, approximately a 1 minute read)

This one's a little later than usual. I've been travelling and just arrived at my destination.

I'd describe the week as eventful, but we'll come back to that later. First, the progress:

I submitted Aeskulap and kradview for review. I also packaged Fiji (most of it anyway), until I ran …
