Jeroen Roovers j...@gentoo.org writes: Also, drive space would be dead wrong. A drive[1] is a device which holds a storage medium (often a disk, as in, you know, a disk drive). Solid-state drive is even more confusing than solid-state disk (and both are common parlance). In the interest of linguistic accuracy, maybe solid state drives should be referred to as solid state data depositories. That would overload one of my favorite acronyms. -- Chris

Bugzilla allowing control characters in the xml is the issue. The python xmlrpc library raises an exception for malformed xml because of it, so there isn't much pybugz, or anything that uses that library, can do about it. Right. The bug is in bugzilla itself, not pybugz. I did some research. Escape and all of the other non-whitespace ASCII control characters are illegal in XML. It is also not valid to escape them with entities, like #27;. However, Bugzilla's XML-RPC interface sends them anyway. This is only a problem for build logs included inline in bug comments. Attached logs are fine, with or without the color codes. Maybe the codes could be stripped by pybugz before processing the XML? -- Chris
[gentoo-dev] retiring
Hi all, I've been here for a couple years now, and I've lost interest to the point that I'm not doing a very good job of keeping my own system up to date, much less maintaining ebuilds. That isn't fair to anyone at all. It's time for me to move on. Gentoo is a great distro. I've met plenty of awesome, smart people around here, and I've learned a lot from my Gentoo experience. Thanks, and so long. Best wishes to the Gentoo community for 2015 and beyond. -- Chris
