Torsten Werner's blog

This is my first blog post on my new tarent blog which I am using as a replacement for blogspot.

We had 451 new source packages in the NEW queue tonight. It is nice to know that Debian is the largest free software distribution but it will take some time until we (the ftp team) have processed all those new packages as we need the check every single package.

I wanted to work on dak (the Debian archive kit) again after we have released Squeeze but I’ll give NEW processing a higher priority. My next plan for dak is generating the contents files in dak directly instead of using apt-ftparchive. Contents generation is the slowest part of apt-ftparchive and having the package contents in dak’s database is quite useful.
