Bah, Baby! Bah!

Welp, it looks like the PDC move is finally done, so I spent some time on Monday pok­ing around with get­ting the Mac OS X boxes to auth with LDAP (works pretty good, actu­ally), next up is get­ting the mount maps into LDAP so /home is NFS-mounted. I should be spend­ing this time on con­vert­ing the sec­ond half of the old arti­cles archives into SQL, but being able to share logins and pro­files between Mac, Linux, and Windows is just too cool to pass up .

I also got bzflag 2.0.2 to build/work for breezy/g++ 4.0 (it mis-compiles with –fstrict-aliasing, so it was a sim­ple mat­ter of dial­ing back the opti­miza­tion in debian/rules), i686-optimized debs are online. Unfortunately my key­board short­cuts are all hosed — if I had to guess I’d offer either breezy’s vari­ant of X, GTK+ HEAD, or some com­bi­na­tion that’s the source of it. In Epiphany all the short­cuts run “New Window”, in Evolution and gnome-terminal they all run “Close”, and in Anjuta they run “New Document”. Weery strange, comrade.

Oh, and FUSA is now in Ubuntu breezy’s uni­verse, which totally rules (though I wouldn’t rec­om­mend switch­ing from hoary until the X and gcc4 stuff has set­tled down, unless you like man­u­ally resolv­ing pack­age con­flicts) .

Update: daniels has said on IRC that the breezy key­board short­cuts issue may be fixed by mov­ing cre­at­ing a sym­link to /etc/X11/xkb as /usr/lib/X11/xkb. I tried it but it didn’t work for me, oth­ers may have bet­ter luck.
