Hey,
did anybody have news from Ryan recently? Some time ago we discussed
midori new upstream release (debian has 0.2.4, 0.2.7 just came out), but
I heard no news since few months. I pinged him on irc, by mail and on
the BTS, but nothing. Seems the last activity was like a month ago, and
I don't k

I used Michael Peek's bar for a few years because I never heard about
pv. Thank you for this notice.
When I read pv's manpage, it appears as more featureful than bar.

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to get my libexplain project [1] to build on Debian alpha.
I don't actually have access to an alpha machine, so my feedback loop is
via the Debian build farm [2]... one fix per release.
This isn't completely satisfactory. Can anyone suggest a dev machine I
can ssh to, and do
