Stuff Michael Meeks is doing

Prodded mail, back into the bowels of PackageKit, seemingly zypper::sat::WhatProvides returns packages in a random order, and we're assuming the system installed ones always come first - silly; but explains some apparent non-determinism. Wow - a bug that requires some real algorithmic thought.
Pleased to see the Java / gtk+ file-selector patch get into jdk7 - now I just need to find an evening to back-port & test it; neato.
Great to see Lennart's Rethinking PID 1 really excited by the prospect of getting a new PID 1 - a really sexy new design; As / when PackageKit is nailed, I must check it out. Also a good contributor policy: "We value your contributions and hence do not require copyright assignment ".
Into Cambridge for dinner with Christian, really interesting to catch up with him, back on the last train, bed late.

In case it's not painfully obvious: the reflections reflected here are my own; mine, all mine ! and don't reflect the views of Collabora, SUSE, Novell, The Document Foundation, Spaghetti Hurlers (International), or anyone else. It's also important to realise that I'm not in on the Swedish Conspiracy. Occasionally people ask for formal photos for conferences or fun.
