Mandriva
Two Weeks of Wiki Hell
I understand I volunteered for the job (it’s a dirty job and I think very few people would want to do it) but boy am I glad it’s done. I’ve just spent nearly two weeks converting content from the Mandriva development wiki (http://qa.mandriva.com/twiki/bin/view/Main) in TWiki to the new MediaWiki setup at http://mdv.vmlinuz.ca/.

Mandriva wiki in the works
Well, I’ve decided that since it’s been over a month now and no one has decided yet on what software to use (apparently there’s one hold-out for xwiki while everyone else wants mediawiki… hello… VETO!), I’ve decided to make it monumentally in mediawiki’s favor by cramming so much bloody content onto the in-the-works conversion site [...]

The big difference here is that this time I’m using the 32bit Mandriva rather than 64bit; no idea if that’s making a big difference but I did [...]
Mandriva development wiki conversion
On Thursday I brought up, on the maintainers@ mailing list, the question that had been dicussed a few months ago and discussed on the cooker list from about April-June, regarding the restructing of the Mandriva Linux Development Community wiki with the possibility of moving if from that hideous POS TWiki to something a whole lot [...]
Of Bugzilla Clients
Michael Scherer posted to cooker@ a few days ago about putting PyBugz a devilishly cool python app for querying a bugzilla database into cooker. He also emailed me because a while ago I had tried the GUI Deskzilla product with the Mandriva bugzilla and it didn’t work, so he mentioned he had made some changes [...]
