[Trisquel-users] Python is leaking a tonne of memory

2014-03-17 Thread LDrumbler
On a lark, I compiled a Python program with cxfreeze and ran it through Valgrind. I'll let the end of the output speak for itself. What's going on here? Why is this language leaking so much memory? ==15053== HEAP SUMMARY: ==15053== in use at exit: 1,278,276 bytes in 445 blocks

Many free software projects that are one developer don't thrive. Especially when the developer has a full time job and the project is secondary. The most successful free software/open source projects are backed by a commercial entity or are established enough to make their money as part of a

Yes, exactly, so let's stop the FUD please. The Google DNS thing, for example, wasn't even inherited from Ubuntu. It had nothing to do with Trisquel being based on Ubuntu, has been fixed, and now it's time to move on. I really don't want this to turn into another thread of people trying to bl
