I mentioned in a sub-thread earlier that I was working on new ways of prioritizing resolver solutions. I spent some evenings last week finishing the last bit of code that I needed (the parser for the configuration setting) and hooked it up. To my great disappointment, nothing exploded; even on my slowest machine, the resolver came up with solutions in a reasonable amount of time. (but please note that I haven't yet confirmed that it optimizes correctly)
After doing this development on my personal laptop, I spent the flight home writing up a first draft of the documentation. Then I very cleverly left my laptop in the back pocket of the seat in front of me when I got off the plane. I had actually already decided to replace it and a new laptop is on order, but it does mean development has been set back a bit, since I'll have to re-do all that work. At least I know that the concept is apparently sound. (of course, if the airline managed to find the laptop and it didn't get stolen anywhere along the way, I can get all my work back. I sent in a notification that the laptop was missing, but I doubt I'll hear back for at least a few days) Daniel _______________________________________________ Aptitude-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/aptitude-devel
