I’ve got a report which turned out to be two separate issues. One is a regression from Go-OO 3.2.x, this post is about this part. The other part is about the improvement of both the import/export RTF filter, the bug has some detail on that part as well.
So the problem was that wrapped images (when the image is a frame and not a character) had some extremely small height. I did not notice this bug in LO as an LO-specific extension hides that value, but in Word you can see it:
The fix is to use the height of the containing frame instead of the height of the picture itself, then it’ll look fine:

Yesterday I bought a HP LaserJet Pro P1566 printer. The device itself is nice, supported by foo2zjs, though of course that support is unofficial. I was curious what do they offer a "Linux support" on their website, since the case of the printer mentions Linux support. And I had to use the above picture to select my country.
-
It’s Magyarország, not Magyarorság.
-
The map of the country isn’t even close to reality, what are they smoking? ;)

About four days ago it has been asked on #libreoffice if it’s possible
to bind functions to F13..F16 in Calc. The short answer is no, but it
turned out it’s pretty trivial to allow that (and of course not only in
Calc).
Cedric’s great post is helpful here to find the relevant code. It also truned out that VCL already supports those keys, so only the user interface has to be improvied to export that feature.
The patch is here.

If you use systemd, you know systemctl. That’s the command that
controls systemd: you can use it to start, stop or list (and so on)
services. Now in case you use list, there is a lot of output, probably
it won’t fit your screen. git already invented auto-paging, which means
it’ll feed its output to a pager if the output is more than a screen,
for example when using git log. With my
recent
commit this now the case with systemctl as well. :)

I released bitlbee-skype 0.9.0 today. The last feature that triggered
the relase born in git during the last two days: now it reads and writes
Skype group info. This means if you have a Skype group "work", then you
can just /j &work to see work contacts only, and /invite also works
in that channel as expected.
More in the BitlBee wiki and in the NEWS file.

CSP, as in Constraint satisfaction problem. A while back I wrote a custom sudoku solver in Erlang, and now I hit something similar. Of course, since then I learned that there are nice CSP engines, so this time I did not try to write my own. :)
First, I checked out python-constraint, and then I sticked with it, as it fulfilled my needs.
So, the problem. Here is a Christmas tree:
The tree has 4 chains, each one contains 7 items. A few ones already has a number. The exercise: number the empty items with numbers between 1 and 7 so that:
-
Each chain contains the numbers 1..7 exactly once.
-
All the horizontal and diagonal lines cannot contain the same number twice.
A possible solution is here. If you get less or more than one solution, you did something wrong. :) (I’m not pasting here the output of the script to leave some exercise for the readers. ;) )

As an experiment this time I draw the image using TikZ. Based on these ideas I converted the source to PNG using tikz2png. |

Finally I can run systemd on my desktop, and not in a virtual machine only, since there is a patch for the sched/cgroup issue I had. It was not a systemd bug, but systemd triggered a kernel issue, which was hidden so far.

I just updated our bluez package, and bus activation works fine. This means bluetoothd is not started till somebody connects to it. Given that I sometimes do not log in to KDE to use kbluetooth, but just want to do something on the console, where having bluetoothd running is totally unnecessary, I consider this really nice.

It came up on
#bitlbeethat there is a Fedora bug where they ask for systemd unit files for BitlBee. So I created a patch, and the nice thing is that the second iteration now seems to be fine for Frugalware/Fedora/Debian, so we managed to build something cross-distro here. (I think I mentioned that’s the #1 feature I like in systemd.)

I wanted to create some calendar present for Christmas in the family with pictures and Hungarian year / month order, national holidays, etc.
After looking at a few solutions, pcal seemed to be the best choice.
There are 3 key points here:
-
The order of the year / month can be changed only in build-time. If your locale has "year month" and not "month year" order, then you need this patch.
-
You need some config for each locale, here is mine, containing the Hungarian national holidays.
-
Finally you need a script like this to put in the pictures.
The result fully localized, free software, contains my custom images and support custom marks for days using a quite flexible syntax.
(Let me know if you know some other project where you can set the year/month order runtime and the result can be still generated from a script, ie. it’s not some LibreOffice or similar template. ;) )
