I'm a bit of a libre software hobbyist.

I like to play with shiny new (or recycled) toys and am willing figure out why things aren't working when I run into problems.

This makes Fedora a good fit for me.

Activities within Fedora

• I am maintaining the Games Spin and participate in the Spins and Games SIGs.
• I am working on the LZMA for Live Images feature.
• I am working on ogrechess, which is intended to be a replacement for chess updated for current development tools and libraries.
• I am maintaining or co-maintaining the following packages:
  • colossus
  • glest and glest-data
  • ogre-pagedgeometry
  • chess
  • ois
  • ogre
  • cegui
  • squashfs-tools
  • greyhounds
  • mygui
• I maintain the spin page for the QA Test Day Spin.
• I file or comment on bug reports fairly often.
• I am helping the effort to get Dungeonhack packaged in Fedora.
• I seem to do a lot of rawhide testing. I also seem to run into some bugs not seen by a lot of other people, so if I don't help, it could be a long wait before those things get fixed.
• I am participating in Fedora Engineering Services on a trial basis.

Quotable

• The road to Provenpackager is paved with Learning.

Bugzilla Extension development

The plan is to support recursive blocking / depends on queries in bugzilla and allow the use of aliases in such queries. The 4.0 version of bugzilla is being target because it supports more hooks, allowing this to be done as an extension (probably) without core code changes. 4.0 is currently in release status. It is unknown when Red Hat would upgrade their bugzilla to 4.0.

Extension info

1. Extension to handle read only views
   • Hooks needed
     • db_schema_abstract_schema to handle creating views
     • bug_check_can_change_field to prevent changing values in views
2. Extension to create recursive blocks / depends on view
   • With use WITH RECURSIVE which works at least in recent Postres versions and is part of the ANSI standard.
   • Hooks needed
     • db_schema_abstract_schema to extend the default schema
3. Extension to allow aliased by as a query operator.
   • Works like match any word handling a list of alias regular expressions and transforming to a list of bug ids.
   • Will use a sub select. That may restrict usage by some databases (probably fairly ones at this point), but is part of the ANSI standard.
   • Hooks needed
     • search_operator_field_override

Status

• A plan for how to implement the feature has been developed.
  • A set of extension needed to implement this plan have been scoped out.
  • The plan has not been verified to make sure it is implementable as currently designed.
• A 4.0 test environment has been set up locally.
