Шрифты в Linux

Peter Lemenkov — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 16:07:37 +0000

Когда обсуждают шрифты, freetype и прочее в Linux, меня не покидает впечатление, что обсуждающие – дикая алкашня или наркоманы. Им мерещатся радуги, у них двоится и троится в глазах, появляются какие-то отражения, какие-то буквы сливаются и т.п.

Товарищи линуксоиды, жалующиеся на шрифты, бросайте так много пить пожалуйста – алкоголизм приведет вас к импотенции.

The state of #Nouveau OSS #NVIDIA drivers in #Fedora 14

Folks, we (Russian Fedora Community) have got very positive feedback from users regarding Nouveau so far. This driver work almost flawlessly for some of users, so significant part of these lucky guys and gals reported that they gave up trying to install proprietary blobs and will stay with nouveau forever (I hope so).

Nice work and kudos to nouveau team!

#Erlang / OTP R14B for #EPEL 5

Peter Lemenkov — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 15:26:58 +0000

Hello All.

As someone of you already know, there is somewhat outdated (but stable) Erlang/OTP version in EPEL – R12B-5. This annoys many folks who would like to combine the latest features of Erlang R14B with stability of RHEL 5.x and derivatives. Before today the only way to improve this situation was to grab tarball from erlang.org or clone git repository from Erlang’s GitHub page and recompile it by yourself. Now I would like to introduce you another one possible scenario – install Erlang R14B from repos.fedorapeople.org.

I provided only i386 and x86_64 builds for EL-5 – hope this is ok for almost all interested people. As for EL-6 I believe that we should upgrade Erlang from R13B to R14B directly in the main repository.

Ok, no more talking – just go for it, install and report about issues (if any).

#Fedora 14 is out! Ok, what about #Erlang?

Fedora 14 is released. With lots of yummy (mostly for developers) features! Many words were already said about this release, unfortunately not so many – about wonderful state of Erlang support in F-14.

There are several popular libraries already packaged for F-14 (and expect more to come!) and main package was modularized recently and upgraded to R14B release. For overall status of Erlang in different Fedora releases visit the following link:

Unfortunately still there are a lot of things to do, but we’re steadily advancing!
