The EveryBlock source code
by karlcow
& 1 other
In an effort to make the code useful to as many people as possible, we've split it into several packages:
* The main package (probably the thing you're looking for) is the publishing system, known as ebpub.
* Second, the packages ebdata and ebgeo contain Python modules for processing data and making maps.
* Third, the packages ebinternal and everyblock round out the code that powers EveryBlock.com. They're internal tools and are likely not of general use, but we're including them to be complete.
* Finally, ebblog and ebwiki are our blog and wiki software, respectively. Because, dammit, the world needs another Django-powered blogging tool.

April 7th, 2009 : KDE 4.2.2 for Windows available
The KDE on Windows team today announced the immediate availability of "Cano", (a.k.a KDE 4.2.2), another bugfix and maintenance update of the KDE release. New in this release is an unstable snapshot of K3B, the KDE cd burning application. As a service release, the changelog contains a list of bugfixes and improvements. Note that the changelog is usually incomplete, for a complete list of changes that went into KDE 4.2.2, you can browse the Subversion log. KDE 4.2.2 also ships a more complete set of translations. The binary packages could be installed with the installer by using the version "stable 4.2.2" (or "stable latest"). In case you are upgrading your KDE installation, deselect the skip basic settings checkbox on the first installer page and press next until you are guided to the release settings page where you can choose the required version.

MovingToDistutils - django-hotclub - the how and why of Pinax's move to distutils - Google Code
by greut
Until recently, Pinax had two choices for a given external dependency:
- use svn:externals and point to the external dependency's svn repository
- include the external dependency code in the Pinax codebase
However, there are problems with this approach:
- it largely relies on external dependencies being in svn and this is increasingly not the case (although it was when Pinax started)
- it makes it difficult for Pinax itself to move away from svn
- there is no management of dependencies between external dependencies, nor between particular projects in Pinax and their individual dependencies
To solve these problems and more, Pinax is switching to a distutils-based approach. This means:
- externals dependencies are encouraged to be released as distutil-compliant packages with a valid setup.py and put on PyPI
- development versions of dependencies can be pulled in in a variety of different ways including from git, hg or bzr repositories
svn:externals are evil

Additions to a default Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex install — Lone-Wolf Scripts
by camel
Last Ubuntu versions enable you to install software by clicking on a link in your browser. If you want to install only some of the software list in this page, you can do it by simply clicking on the links put on the packages' names. This is not a security breach, since these packages are installed using apt-get and your configured repositories. It's only a little helper for lazy people :D
