• Mario Ðanić has another interesting post about distributed version control systems. He proposes that each developer (or at least, every maintainer) could use the DVCS of their choice, but then we could have a common web/collaboration interface to all the DVCSs.

• My current favorite way of developing against a stable release:

  $ cat ~/bin/make-nautilus
  #!/bin/sh
  module_name=nautilus
  diff_name=~/suse/11.0/src/SOURCES/nautilus-document-centric.diff
  anchor_name=OPENSUSE_11_0_PATCHES
  branch_name=document-centric
  cd ~/src/$module_name
  git diff $anchor_name..$branch_name > $diff_name
  cd ~/suse/11.0/src/SPECS
  if rpmbuild -ba $module_name.spec
  then
      cd ../RPMS/i586
      gnomesu rpm -Uvh --force *$module_name*
      notify-send -t 0 "$module_name is installed now"
  else
      notify-send -t 0 "$module_name doesn't build!"
  fi
