My software projects

Here is a bit of information about, and links to my personal coding projects. Find me on github or at Debian (bugs). Also see the build status page.

Own projects

Current projects

• corydalis — Photo library management helper and image viewer; see demo site and documentation.
• prefix-units — Small Haskell library for formatting/parsing SI units. See documentation at hackage.
• pylibacl — Python posix1e ACLs module.
• pyxattyr — Python extended attributes module.
• photo-backlog-exporterr - a Prometheus exporter for statistics of my photo backlog, designed to work along Corydalis.
• bakonf - Small backup program designed for configuration files (/etc/) and saving program output (e.g. sfdisk -d /dev/sda).
• man2ebook - A trivial script to generate an epub document from a list of man pages.

Fun/toy projects:

• perf-null, from the post with the same name - tests speed of exit(0) across multiple languages and runtimes.
  Because --help needs to be fast!

These are old experiments, or simply things that don’t make sense anymore.

• cfvers - Before the advent of DVCSes, I tried to implement a kind of version systems for configuration files (/etc and the like). I gave up once I realized this can be done in a simpler way via git and/or configuration management systems.
• pipe-rpc - A simple RPC system for Python, written before I realised this can be implemented in a simpler way via asyncore.

Maintainer or contributor

• mt-st - I took over maintainership in order to have a stable place to accumulate the patches floating around various distributions.
• ganeti - I have a long history of involvement with Ganeti (right from before it was even open-sourced) (including being paid to write Haskell code, yay!), but nowadays I’m doing just very small things sometimes. Old projects die hard ☺
• the linux kernel - woohoo, I have a grand total of 2 small patches in the kernel. Hey, the intent counts, right?
