Portfolio

For more information about my involvement in Debian, please see my portfolio page. Below is some more information that is not available from my portfolio page.

contrib/non-free

I use the following packages from Debian contrib/non-free (and their deps):

  • Hardware enablement: intel-microcode firmware-iwlwifi
  • GFDL GNU documentation: gcc-doc gdb-doc make-doc tar-doc

Goals

wishlist

  • better communication on Debian fora
  • d-i:
    • get rid of the concept of default desktops
    • more integration of Debian blends
    • support for touchscreen-only and mobile devices
  • dpkg:
    • versioned Provides
    • Supersedes to get rid of transition packages
    • a mode where packages can be generically-configured but not configured for specific machines (useful for OEM images, OpenSSH keys for eg are machine-specific and should not be in OEM images).
  • apt:
    • integration with debdelta
    • a better format for sources.list
  • dak:
    • get rid of DMUA

Stuff to consider packaging

Cool software/stuff that I saw on blogs/elsewhere and thought should be in Debian or Debian Unsupported at some point. Note that it isn't necessarily stuff I would use, just that the people who might would appreciate it a lot. This was festering in my ~/TODO so I decided it needed airing out. I've moved the list of links into an interesting software subpage.
