Feisty Features and Foibles


A very rare occurrence indeed: I found an obscure Python 2.5 regression.  A fix was checked in within hours.

Slight change in xsltproc to become more spec compliant.  Breaks a small sample provided with Venus.  Fixed.

Bzr’s you really ought to upgrade message is obnoxious.  Sure, I would gladly upgrade if I were operating in a vacuum, but isn’t bzr’s primary use case a community of independent developers?  Here’s a patch that turns the message off.

The version of Genshi packaged with Feisty is 0.3.5-1.  The latest easy_install egg is 0.4, which is better.

I really like command-not-found.

python-lxml allegedly contains the pythonic binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries, but after installing it, import libxslt still fails.

Default java is still gij -version 1.4.2.

Automatix provides all of your guilty pleasures.

Tomboy has become indispensable.
