Gentoo

I've committed some updates to my xgl/aiglx-overlay. First of all, it now uses a git-ebuild for the xserver, because there have been some improvements (implementation of GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer) I wasn't able to backport easily. Then I've added an experimental patch to compiz autodetecting AIGLX, which removes the need for indirect and strict-binding parameters. Some other no longer needed patches removed. Get it with:
svn co http://svn.hboeck.de/xgl-overlay

Or, if you already have it, cd to it and
svn update

To use it properly, you'll need some entries in your /etc/portage/package.unmask (I've put a package.unmask.sample in the overlay root dir) for proper operation of the overlay:
x11-base/xorg-server
media-libs/glitz
x11-libs/cairo
dev-python/pycairo
(no longer needed)

Enjoy!

The last hours on the RMLL, booths are being shut down. It was quite interesting to see how the french free software movement is organized.

The event was very french oriented, not many talks in english, so there wasn't much for me to visit. I noticed that it was much more political than similar events in germany, many booths about issues like the DADVSI law, DRM/TCPA, voting machines, filesharing, free music, ecological footprint of computer hardware, software patents and things like that.

I tool the chance to stay one more day to see some more of the city.

Short note for my english visitors (and planet gentoo readers), I'm here at the Libre Software Meeting (Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre, RMLL) in Nancy, a french free software event.
There's a gentoo booth with kernelsense and dams.
