Tell me what the future is

Category: Ubuntu

This blog post is about the recent work done in aptdaemon - the backend used by Ubuntu's software-center to install/remove packages.

In the last week I finally managed to address one of the most awaited features in aptdaemon: dependency handling. It doesn't sound very exciting at first, but listen:

It is now possible to get the dependencies of a transaction (e.g. installing packages) from aptdaemon (and also some more information). Previously the client (e.g. software-center) had to calculate those.

But there is also another aspect which makes this non-trvial: aptdaemon uses transactions to allow users to queue several package management tasks in a row: at first install xterm, then install this codec, then upgrade the system, and so on ... 

Aptdaemon will now take the queued transactions into account when it presents you the dependencies! So if a previous transaction already installs a package it won't ask you again if you want to install it.

But a screencast says more than a thousand words!

The work is currently part of the future-status branch and will be merged soon.

    Naval rivalry was one of the caeuss of WWI but there wasn’t a main cause. There were many caeuss that ended up in war.The naval rivalry was between Germany and Britain. Britain felt frightened by Germany because they had always had the best navy and Germany, that was a new country, was growing very fast and had the second best navy so they competed on that. They had an imminent war coming.I don’t fully agree that naval rivalry was the main cause, there were more caeuss.One cause was that Germany attempted to gain colonies so she annoyed and frightened France, Britain and Russia.Another cause was that there created two alliances that were Russia, France and Britain, the triple entente, and Austria-Hungary, Germany and Italy, the triple alliance.What its more France was unhappy because she had lost Alsace-Lorraine in 1871. She was sad because it was there richest industrial region in France; From that moment onwards there was an arm race between France and GermanyAnother cause was hat Austria-Hungary and Russia were rivals and they hated each other so be influenced in Europe was very importantBesides, Germany had the problem of Encirclement, so she created the Schrieffen plan that was attacking first France and then Russia.The last cause, that was the outbreak of WWI, was the assassination at Sarajevo.In conclusion there were many caeuss but there wasn’t a main one.

    After installing php5-gd and rittarseng Apache2, I still got the same error messages. Looking thru the error logs I noticed: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 348 . Line 347-8 has: $new_file = $uploads['path'] . /$filename copy( $tmp_file, $new_file );Ahh, more file permissions, this time on the uploads dir. Once I gave the Apache process recursive write perms to wp-content/uploads and restarted, all was good.Thanks for the tips!

    This is usually a uiqune form of opinion that many folks don’t generally mention. Oftentimes I fav things like this on Redit. Even though this time I’m undecided if this would be better for the visitors. I’ll go searching and discover some other article that may work.
