In the past few weeks I spent some time preparing patches that backport PyDev (the Eclipse Python plugin) from Java 1.5 to 1.4 so that it can be shipped in Fedora, since for some time now PyDev has been developed on Java 1.5. Last week I updated my patches to PyDev 1.1.0, which is the [...]
As I mentioned 2 weeks ago, I decided to backport PyDev 1.0.6 to Java 1.4 so that we could include it in Fedora. I’m glad to say that I’m done, and the patches are available here . Fabio, the author of PyDev, has released versions 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 in quick succession last week, which are [...]
Red Hat’s Toronto office recently got 6 new interns. It’s going to be a fun summer with 13 interns sitting together in one cube area :D.
Other than yelling very loudly for the whole day (I swear we were quieter last year!!) the interns are working on some improvements to yum. They’ve all used Eclipse before [...]
This Friday I presented at FUDCon Boston about Eclipse in Fedora. My presentation was first thing in the morning, so I barely made it on time. Also the highest resolution I managed to get on the projector was 640 by 480, felt like I was back in ‘92 or something. The presentation went pretty well [...]
Having had a Mac Book Pro for about 2 weeks, I’ve been trying to get Fedora on it. Initially the reasoning was to get a live cd working (using Kadischi) and then hack anaconda to be able to install on to the Intel Macs. The biggest problem we had was to compile the Fedora kernel [...]
We’re going to release a new version of the ChangeLog plugin to the Fedora Core 5 update repository tomorrow. This update has some bug fixes with the formatting of the ChangeLog when one person tries to do consecutive commits. This version has been sitting in the update site for a few days and there haven’t [...]
Yesterday I uploaded a new update site, made by Jeff Pound, for the Eclipse plugins we ship in Fedora. We now finally have both the ChangeLog and Bugzilla plugins in the same update site, which should be much more convenient. The main problem that we’re seeing with this is that we currently do not [...]
After much tweaking of the content for the renovated Fedora Eclipse website, it is finally up on the web. Thanks to Diana Fong, our very talented graphic designer, for the very nicely done design. I think this is miles better than our previous page, which had very little information. We now have separate pages for [...]

In the past 2 days I’ve been trying to update the Bugzilla plugin before Fedora Core 5 test 3. I’ve been trying to make it play nice with the Red Hat bugzilla through the XMLRPC interface instead of html-scraping. The functionality was already there but I discovered that Eclipse couldn’t find the jar file that [...]
