I'll compile the world
After a short holiday (I am sure everyone noticed :) ) I decided to
compile a few things from pkgsrc for easier life. I don't like
thunderbird as it is a real heavy weight for my small X40, however you
can read mails with it. It compiled for several hours - oh, no, I can't
make a use of the precompiled binaries on ftp.netbsd.org as I use
modular-xorg.
Please notice - annoyed for the first time
After a quick look on the finished binaries, a quick run I trashed the
whole package without looking back. It's just annoying how bad it
performs on my X40. The linux bin package is alot faster than the NetBSD
build - how's that? Why am I the only person on earth who notice
this?
Please notice - annoyed for the second time
Well, after that experience I decided to look into python support for
gedit. editors/gedit is a nice small editor with plugin architecture,
alot of python plugins for it are downloadable. A class browser, wheew,
that's something for me! After about 1 hour of playing around I gave up.
I failed to get it work.
Please notice - annoyed for the third time
Bah! I decided to look even more into the details - I never mucked
around with python - but I was just upset. Why do pkgsrc needs 5 version
of python inside the repository? Is this the same with all the Tcl/Tk
stuff between version 4 and version 8?
Please notice - annoyed for the fourth time
Ok, back to something useful. My CPAN - pkgsrc p5-module comparison
thingy is getting back on the road. That's fine, holidays are over!
Oh, btw - we need more maintainers - maybe for python?
