With Jason and KJR, I'm supposed to be testing bug 583379 but am
waiting for Kanika's feedback on
http://systers.org/pipermail/systers-dev/2010-June/000504.html

I'm trying out local installations of some web-testing tools and for
one of them (funkload) I got some weird errors. Since I was trying it
on 10.04 and getting errors, I tried it out with Hardy and it removes
some packages that are a part of the MM and systers installation.
Strange.

Ben, the developer, has been emailed with more logs of all the errors
on each partition and I am awaiting some feedback. Meanwhile, I'm
planning to try out other tools this week.

With patching, i've got to build a .dsc file from the stable branch
checked out earlier, which is one of the other tasks planned this week
(....considering that its 3am on sunday here).

have a nice weekend!
