About non-free firmware
Paul Wise just pointed me to a very good explanation of the issue with non-free firmware files:
Updated qlogic 2400 and 2500 firmware to 5.03.13. What does 5.03.13 do? No one knows, except for QLogic, and they're not telling. I asked, and they told me that information was only available under NDA. So, I encourage you to imagine what this firmware does, and the bugs it fixes. While you're at it, imagine a world where vendors release source code for their firmware.
The source? No, not some ideologist, not even someone involved in Debian. It's a comment about an update of a firmware package in Fedora.

Christmas for network administrators (Part 2)
After hearing several times, that it would make sense to use fibre cables for your Christmas tree, as you can illuminate it with them, I have been pointed to traceable network cords... which made me speechless...

RC stat changes (again)
Uh... Holger just pointed
me to an error I introduced, when I ported
my script to create the
rc stats from using the bts.turmzimmer.net interface to the UDD: The
Number of bugs for the release managers
view did not included bugs
fixed in Debian's unstable branch, but still open in it's testing
branch.
Of course Release Managers are also interested in these bugs, as the packages fixing these bugs need to be migrated to testing (prefered solution) before the release can happen.
I just fixed my script, and reviewed the other queries. Seems fine now, so that starting with next fridays stats, everything should be working again.
Looking at it with repaired Release Team glasses
, that brings us
up from 110 bugs to 175 bugs. (And still 72 release critical bugs without
known solution).
Sorry.

New features for the RC bug stats
Ooops. It seems that while I worked on the script generating the release critical bug stats, I accidentally also published the stats, although it's not friday.
Sorry for that, but while we are at it: I implemented two tiny changes:
- The Ultimate
Debian Database know about
claimed bugs
and uploads to deferred/delayed, too. So we can also take them into account. - Each number is now linked to the respective view of the UDDs web interface, making it easier to browse through the actual bugs.
I especially hope that the later change will make it easier to RC bug hunters to find something interesting.
I also fixed the error naming UDD Universal
Debian
database instead of ultimate
. Sorry, I know I was pointed to it
quite some time ago, and I really thought I fixed it
allready...
Update: Don't missuse a quote symbol, but link the numbers directly.
