almost like in previous months, except that I haven’t spent as much time as
previously on Open Source the last two months.</p>

that keeping better track of what I’m doing will help me reflect on how I spend
my time, and help me to focus my efforts better.</p>
Building ARM Debian packages with pbuilder2015-03-08T00:00:00+00:002015-03-08T00:00:00+00:00Unknownhttps://jod.al/2015/03/08/building-arm-debs-with-pbuilder/<p><em>The goal of this post is to help myself reproduce this pbuilder setup in the
future. If you find it useful too, then that’s great.</em></p>
<p>Building ARM packages on older ARM devices like the Raspberry Pi 1 is slow, so
I want to use a single amd64 machine to build Debian packages for all my target
platforms:</p>
<ul>
<li>amd64,</li>
<li>i386,</li>
<li>armel/ARMv4+ (e.g. Debian on Raspberry Pi 1),</li>
<li>armhf/ARMv6+ (Raspbian), and</li>
<li>armhf/ARMv7+ (e.g. Debian/Ubuntu on Raspberry Pi 2, Odroid C1, etc.).</li>
</ul>
<p>Preferably, I want to build the packages for the current Debian stable, which
at the time of writing is wheezy, so that they’ll work for as many users as
possible.</p>
Debian packaging of Mopidy2014-10-28T00:00:00+00:002014-10-28T00:00:00+00:00Unknownhttps://jod.al/2014/10/28/debian-packaging/<p>My first upload to Debian as a Debian Maintainer, Mopidy 0.19.4-3, landed in
Debian testing today, well in time for the upcoming freeze.</p>
<p>The new version adjusts the LSB facilities the sysvinit script depends on, to
make sure that DNS lookups, DBus (used by Mopidy-MPRIS), and Avahi (used for
Zeroconf service publishing) are available before Mopidy starts.</p>
Mopidy packaged in Debian and Ubuntu2013-12-28T00:00:00+00:002013-12-28T00:00:00+00:00Unknownhttps://jod.al/2013/12/28/mopidy-packaged-in-debian-and-ubuntu/<p>Looking back to my last post from September, my goal was to have
the music server <a href="https://mopidy.com/">Mopidy</a> packaged in Debian by the end
of the year and in Ubuntu in time for the 14.04 LTS release in April. As of
yesterday, Mopidy 0.17.0 is a part of <a href="http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/mopidy">Debian
unstable</a> and <a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mopidy">Ubuntu
trusty</a>, just a few days after
Mopidy’s fourth anniversary on December 23.</p>
Pykka packaged in Debian and Ubuntu2013-09-03T00:00:00+00:002013-09-03T00:00:00+00:00Unknownhttps://jod.al/2013/09/03/pykka-packaged-in-debian-and-ubuntu/<p>The Python actor library <a href="http://pykka.readthedocs.io/">Pykka</a> is now packaged as
<code>python-pykka</code> and <code>python3-pykka</code> in
<a href="http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/python-pykka">Debian unstable</a> and
<a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pykka">Ubuntu saucy</a>, soon to be
Ubuntu 13.10. In a few more days, the packages will be probably be available in
Debian testing as well.</p>
