Damn, why did you splitted the package?

From time to time it's funny to run a scriptlett and play a bit with numbers. For example:
find /pub/debian/pool/main/ -name \*_i386.deb -or -name \*_all.deb -exec ls -s {} \; |sort -nr 157696 /pub/debian/pool/main/f/fgfs-base/fgfs-base_0.9.10-1_all.deb 152284 /pub/debian/pool/main/v/vegastrike-data/vegastrike-data_0.4.3-2_all.deb 141144 /pub/debian/pool/main/o/openclipart/openclipart-png_0.18+dfsg-4_all.deb 89808 /pub/debian/pool/main/f/fgfs-base/fgfs-base_0.9.6-1_all.deb 86304 /pub/debian/pool/main/k/koffice/koffice-doc_1.5.1-1_all.deb 81892 /pub/debian/pool/main/l/llvm/llvm-doc_1.7-1_all.deb 78860 /pub/debian/pool/main/t/texlive-extra/texlive-latex-extra_2005-2_all.deb 67844 /pub/debian/pool/main/b/beneath-a-steel-sky/beneath-a-steel-sky_0.0372-2_all.deb 67764 /pub/debian/pool/main/b/beneath-a-steel-sky/beneath-a-steel-sky_0.0368-3_all.deb 62252 /pub/debian/pool/main/f/fillets-ng-data/fillets-ng-data_0.7.1-1_all.deb 61660 /pub/debian/pool/main/f/fillets-ng-data/fillets-ng-data_0.6.1-1_all.deb 58984 /pub/debian/pool/main/v/vegastrike-music/vegastrike-music_0.4.3-1_all.deb 56260 /pub/debian/pool/main/t/tetex-src/tetex-src_3.0-3_all.deb

Interesting, I always thought one of my packages would be on of the biggest, bit according to my find, planetpenguin-racer-extras is just on place 117!

But now I sponsored an upload for an other member of the pkg-games group: nexuiz_2.0-1_i386.changes uploaded successfully.

Sadly Bruno decided to splitt of the music of the -data package, so we won't take the crown, but will still get the fourth place, as soon as Ganneff let it the packages through new :)

PS: Damn, they still didn't fixed the bug, that I allways get killed.

Cool sysad trick #38846

Mount your /var partition with nodev, and wonder why your pbuilder doesn't work any more.

I guess my break was long overdue...

When we arrived at home...

... yesterday evening, we fell into bed. Interesting: Although I managed to sleep very well in the airplane for something near to 10 hours (and so did alphascorpii), we still slept for another 16 hours when we got home.

I think I'm getting old; that's the worst jet lag I ever had. So here is a list of things you can do at 3:00 AM in the morning, when you can't sleep because of jet lag problems:

Wait for your luggage to be delivered to you (British Airways finally managed to bring me my lost backpack; after promising me, that it's already on the way and will be delivered to me next morning, it wasn't delivered before 20:00...)
Sort all the snail mail from the last weeks
Read through all the mail from last weeks
Watch the streams from the last weeks tagesthemen
chat with the other jet lagged people
chat with the people still in Mexico
Call your family telling them you got home in one piece (after not telling them, that you've left)
Get angry, because your landlord hasn't done anything about the wet walls (well, at least the broken water pipe got fixed) or the mold on them
Chat with your girlfriend whether landlord is the proper word for that
Finally drink some real vaso de leche milk
Write some notes for DebConfs final report
Throw them away
Synchronize your private mirror
Pay old bills
Agree with other, that we should make a Wine, cheese and chocolate session next year
Write useless blog entries
Adding stuff to the DebConf fortunes

Perhaps I just finish reading The Da Vinchi code before someone, who went to the movie, spoils the ending. See you in... wherever DebConf7 will be.

You know, that you are back home...

... when:

No one storms at you in a store trying to sell you something, although you are just looking around killing time
Temperature is bellow 20 degrees Celsius, even if it's summer
You don't need a power adapter any more
You can eat food marked as hot again
fruit salad isn't served with chili and salt
Internet is working quite fast
You understand, what's said in the PAs

But the best sign, telling you, you are finally arrived at your home, is:
You are on your toilette, wondering where the bucket has gone, and what to do with the paper!
