I was badly bored today, so I decided that I have to find something to do. Since I have written a NanoBSD article and there is still missing a manual page for this utility, I realized that it would be pretty nice to write one. Finally, it’s done and I’ve sent it to my mentors and Ruslan for review. Let’s hope it’s good enough and will be available in our tree soon!

After I got my new shiny commit bit, I made my first FreeBSD commits. It’s pretty exciting this all for me, because I have never before used CVS or any other Version Control System. After all, the basic things are not that hard, I expected it to be far more complicated then it really is, although I haven’t made any complex actions yet 
After my first FreeBSD committer days I have closed some of our PRs in the GNATS database, one of which was my long-standing PR with patch for ipfw Handbook chapter. Also I have commited my first typo, which was cought by Tom (ah well, I should wait for his approval too ) and I have immediately commited a fix for it. After all, my mentors are really neat and it’s great opportunity to work with them together.
I’ve just updated amarok to version 1.4.1 – a few things..
libvisual – no longer supported.
As of now amarok only supports libvisual-0.4 – and (for the moment) we only have 0.2 in the tree. I think markus@ is working on updating it.
libtunepimp
libtunepimp was updated to 0.5 – and if installed on your system, it will break the amarok build. You should install audio/libtunepimp-old instead.
One of the cooler things with this update, is the function to play last.fm streams – it works nicely.
Also, ATF (Advanced Tag Features) – still on an early rollout, but an interesting feature.
