More stylished bullets for Ubuntu website
Posted by Jorge Bernal April 14, 2005
I just have to say the new website design is Cool!, but… there are still some plone-ish things, like the lists’ bullets. So I’ve new ones to propose: 
It’s a breezy day

It seems Breezy Badger has started its engines: the very first upload for breezy.
Just great.
I’ll be there, upside down
Posted by Jorge Bernal April 11, 2005
If nothing goes wrong, I’ll attend to UbuntuDownUnder. I’ve wanted to be in Australia for a long time, so it’s really exciting for me.
I’ll be able to check if water drains in another way (simpsons #1404), and will be upside-down seen from my home.
I’m going to put myself on the Attendees page, if I discover how to login into the UDU wiki.
prepare-ChangeLog-baz.py
Posted by Jorge Bernal April 06, 2005
Since I’m currently using bazaar for some of my personal projects, I wanted to have something like the famous preapre-ChangeLog.pl. I started to hack on the modified version for SVN, but the bazaar diffs were too different from CVS and SVN.
So I decided to play with python and pybaz, and got prepare-ChangeLog-baz.py.txt
It’s quite simple at this point, so it only tracks added, removed and modified files, but not “what has changed”. At this moment, it opens $EDITOR to let you specify the details for each file changed.
Some hints: Use REALNAME and EMAILADDRESS environment variables to set the corresponding ChangeLog fields. You need the python-bazaar package to got this script working. The package is waiting at MOTUNewPackages but you can fetch from python-bazaar1.1-0ubuntu1all.deb
Spatial mess prevention
Posted by Jorge Bernal April 02, 2005
Today, at #ubuntu-motu, I noticed the last update of nautilus package:
nautilus (2.10.0-0ubuntu7) hoary; urgency=low
* debian/patches/02_ubuntuspatial.patch:
- changes to the spatial mode. Close the folders by default while browsing.
You can set "/apps/nautilus/preferences/no_ubuntu_spatial" to get the
previous spatial behaviour.

But I think, like quite others, that this behaviour may not be the best option. We could discuss that forever and lose a lot of our precious time.
Better than this, is to develop an alternative solution. Let the Technical Board, the sabdfl, or whoever has taken that decision happy, and let the user choose at the same time 
The dpatch is at 02ubuntuspatial.patch, or a new version of nautilus at nautilus2.10.0-0ubuntu8.diff.gz. My changelog:
nautilus (2.10.0-0ubuntu8) hoary; urgency=low
* debian/patches/02_ubuntuspatial.patch:
- use more consistent names (close_previous_windows) and add a GUI option in
preferences dialog to set the default behaviour.
