Week2-Week3 OPW Journey.

The Tropy

In this period, I have tackled several bugs and got them finally about to be merged in the codebase. Namely, they are:
#761121 allow symbolic links within same version, #761861 override detected language type. I also spent some time on making debsouces runnable on sor.debian.org.
But still there is some db related problem on it. I am not quite familiar with psql, and kinda at a loss as what to do. Zack said he would take it over and I shall focus on what really I likes. Cool.

For some non-code tasks, I have a detailed read on “machine-readable debian/copyright”. The other task is on “flask blueprint”. The idea of “flask blueprint”, as far as I am concerned, is sort of what apps are in django.

Zack has drafted a specification on debian/copyright which serves as the goal of copyright.debian.net. Combined with the above reading knowledge, and with the help of Flask expert matthieu, I will get my hands dirty in the comming weeks to create a fantastic new site, aka, copyright.d.n. Stay tuned.

some thought

I did spend some time learning how to use git, and read quite a lot of materials. But, I shamely forgot most of them. So when I am frequently using git these days, I feel kinda incompetent and sometimes awkward. I am thinking now, maybe I shall stop overlearn some technology that I might never use. Only real usage and practice could help me get comfort with those tools. Overlearn something which I am not currently using and either won’t in the future might just be a waste of time.

and finally, I spent a great Christmas. Wish everyone happy, and merry Christmas!
