Packaging Simple PHP Blog postponed. 

We found out that Simple PHP Blog, the software that is used for this Blog, can't be packaged for Debian at the moment, because the License looks like this:

The Simple PHP Blog is released under the GNU Public License.

You are free to use and modify the Simple PHP Blog. All changes
must be uploaded to SourceForge.net under Simple PHP Blog.

Credit must be give to the original author and the Simple PHP Blog
logo graphic must appear on the site and link to the project
on SourceForge.net


So problems are (as far as i understand):

  • the GPL isn't referred to correctly (also the GPL isn't included in the source distribution)
  • Upstream wants all changes uploaded again on sourceforge, and doesn't mention what is about redistribution of modified code.
  • Upstream denies the specific modification of removing the Logo and the Link to Sourceforge.


So i tried to explain this politely to Upstream, I hope he honors my request, as i really like this piece of software and want to see it in Debian.

Eurovision Song Contest - Quo Vadis? 

Zu den diffusen Ankündigungen von Änderungen im System des ESC und Verschwörungstheorien bezüglich der Balkan-, Skandinavier-, Sowjet-, oder Baltikum-connection ist wohl erstmal festzustellen:

Browsercrash sucks - loosing work even more. 

Do you know this?

you write a brilliant entry for a blog, a blog-comment or something in a textarea-field in your browser.

after finished, you press the Send-Button, and ... the browser crashes, or nothing happens because Javacript or Cookies were disabled in your browser.

the result is, the brilliant text you just wrote by investing time has gone to bit-heaven.

Has anyone a solution for this, beside writing in a text-editor, pasting it over to the textarea, fighting against linebreaks and things?

I once tried Editus Externus a Firefox extension, but that one produces a lot of problems in the fight iso-8859-x vs. utf8, and the linewrap problem is also there.

So how can i make sure that the things i type in a textarea aren't lost, when my cookie expires, Javascript sucks or my Browser dies?
