I’ve finished the porting of rng from qt3 to qt4 and uploaded it to unstable. It has some minor regressions compared to the qt3 version, like the localization of the qt4 widgets which isn’t working yet and that the column which sorts the table isn’t saved and …
read morePorting rng to QT4
Today I was busy porting reportbug-ng to QT4. One really cool thing I noticed is the new QWebView widget, which is the main widget of the QWebKit module. It works surprisingly easy compared to the good old QTextBrowser of QT3 — now you can just throw an URL at it and …
read moreSegfaults Everywhere
Dear Lazyweb,
A few weeks ago rng started to show some segfaulty behavior. I’ve absolutely no idea what’s going on, since Python code usually doesn’t segfault. I guess the problem lies in the qt3-bindings rng uses — does someone know how to verify this?
There is a backtrace …
read moreLenny won’t ship rng
Philipp thinks, the fact that rng is not using the information in /usr/share/bug renders rng “unfit for release” and upgraded the corresponding bugreport from wishlist to serious. Moreover: since I dared to downgrade the report back to wishlist he decided to remove rng from testing and block it …

Hmm, better late then never, I guess. One year and two weeks ago, reportbug-ng was initially uploaded to Debian unstable. Happy birthday rng! I wish you a lot of ponies in the next year!

Since I received a terrifying amount of insults via mail for not implementing this feature request after my last blog entry, where I asked for help developing rng, I’d like to make my position about this issue clear.
Why I was opposed to implement it:
- I personally hated that …
Want to get money for nothing and chicks for free, too?
Is anyone out there interested in helping me developing reportbug-ng? I’m currently very busy with my diploma thesis and can’t spend as much time on my pet bug reporting tool as I’d like to spend. The package itself has some small bugs, is not yet feature complete …
read moreDeserializing SOAP replies with ZSI?
Dear Lazyweb,
what is the most elegant way to read a SOAP reply containing a complex type into an object using ZSI? I’ve read the documentation several times and I guess there is an elegant way to solve this, but I still don’t get it.
I guess it …
read moreRng and others temporary broken
Just a short note to let you know that due a change in debbugs’ SOAP interface several applications including apt-listbugs and rng are temporary broken. The change was not too dramatic and I suppose the problem will be fixed shortly. Meanwhile you can use reportbug which is not affected, since …
read moreImplement two features and get the third for free!
Today I’ve implemented a feature which was long overdue: making the table sortable by the available table headers. The second feature I’ve added is that every bug report now has it’s “Last Action” date. While both features are useful for themselves, combining both result in a very …
