- The bloody moron is now… two morons! Bryce Harrington has used the defective cells of his brain to declare with regards to the infamous Intel bug in Jaunty: “I think we can close this one now. The issue is largely resolved in Karmic, and the commentary on this bug seems to have degenerated past usefulness. Other bug reports are tracking kernel patches and other fixes proposed for Jaunty.” The shithead seems to be unable to understand that the bugs keeps being valid in Jaunty as long as there is no official fix for Jaunty, and the current release is Jaunty! “Largely resolved in Karmic” is a supreme arrogance.
- OK, I should really take into consideration ElRepo, once back home. I’m not familiar with the Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) concept, and I don’t even want to understand it, but commander Dag has been very persuasive in providing a raison d’être of ElRepo: using kmod instead makes it much more convenient for the end user!
- It looks like Rahul has noticed Odiecolon.repo, and there is a short thread on epel-devel-list. I must find some time to explain them “the whys” and we’ll see then…
- I really tried Sugar on a Stick. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t find anything that could be beneficial to the kids, nor I could consider it as a brilliant design of anything. On the contrary, it only confirmed my preconception that Sugar is 100% shit and a waste of time and resources.
- That was a funny one, although constantly “innovating” (read: moving to some other place) the keyboard’s keys annoys me: Who moved my ‘Delete’ key? Lenovo did. Here’s why. So they made ESC and DEL huge. Now what?

elrepo.org is excellent work! I've been using it with succes for some time (mainly for kmod_alsa and especially kmod_jfs - bye bye centosplus kernels!).

"It is Ubuntu policy not to include new versions of software after the release."
This sums up the whole bug. This policy is the one preventing me from using Ubuntu for real stuff. As long as they abide by their 6 months release schedule with little concern for stability and bugfixing, there will always be such fuck ups. And when fuck ups like this will occur, there will always be someone to dangle the Ubuntu SRU policy in front of the users.
And stuff will always get fixed in 6 months at best, but then there will be other stuff to care about and so on.
It's dead, Jim. Just move on to Debian or something.

I mostly run just Fedora and don't have much involvement in EPEL beyond maintaining some packages. If you want to engage the EPEL team in a discussion, feel free to subscribe to the list and post your questions, feedback. Otherwise, blog or comment and I will pass it on the list. If you want to clarify anything or need more pointers in getting started with EPEL, feel free to email me.

It’s not resolved.
A new kernel has been released which reverts the gains made on the I945GM in my laptop. What is the problem?
Can’t Can’of’cola buy some Intel laptops? Run their tests automatically and collect the results?
I’m rather fond of my shitty ass intel graphics.
Even though Mr. Cary North Carolina Epic Megagames Tim Swendler Sweeny can’t see that nobody except Nvidia’s employees can afford $300.00 video cards.
What’s wup with game developers writing for shit that is nonexistant. I mean can’t they even write a good game what they ain’t got to kill your system with lights and sound… razel dazel
Mr. Carmack. BTW: A fucking racing game? Come on quake boy.
Descent 1 offered more gaming fun than any shit I’ve played on 360.
This is a two part rant. 1. Ubuntu is full of shit not releasing a patch for 9.04. 2. They are full of shit offering a crippled system in the first place.
The only linux for human beings is the one you push yourself to death configuring and customizing.
I’m close to having high blood pressure from years of worry and struggle. I look around and see most of my Windows friends. Not a grey hair in their head. No stress. Fuck you Torvalds for ruining my life.
I’m fucking getting to the point where I would rather put up with Microsoft’s draconic licensing practices than have to recompile another fucking kernel and xorg source.
There is a concept Distributions maintainers!
It’s called release when it’s done.
Don’t go saying Debian is on top of that shit because they are just as bad.
2009 and the only company that looks like they are close to a 1999 windows offering is SUSE. Why do you think that is?
Big brother prob told them to fix their shit.

Thanks for the positive feedback on elrepo.org - we're glad people are finding it useful.
We are always on the lookout for suggestions and testers for unsupported hardware - if you have unsupported hardware then we will do our best to backport a driver for el5. Drop us a line at contact [at] elrepo.org or file a request at elrepo.org/bugs

@Phil,
Just wanted to let you know that I am using ElRepo on each CentOS 5.x install, so they ca have "video4linux". This is very important, because of tv cards & webcams… Good job !
