So what has Baden Powell and a Chameleon got to do with Bongo? The answer is:

Deb, deb, deb

Bad joke I know, but I've got a load more where that came from so don't tempt me. Basically it's two fold (a) my curiosity to build .deb in the OBS and (b) to help Jonny out with bandwidth (utilising openSUSE's global mirrors), I've got Debian Etch packages in my OBS repository. Currently only x86 only (x86_64 Debian and Ubuntu hosts haven't been implemented yet), Ubuntu builds are going to take a bit longer as I need to work out a few issues.

I have both M2 stable (or as stable as it gets at the moment) and unstable builds from svn, just like my RPMs. To get hold of these scouts add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/FunkyPenguin/ Debian_4_Etch/

Please let me know if you encounter any issues using any of my packages. I'll leave it up to you how you contact me, here are a few:

Mailing lists, comment on this blog, using the Meebo box on this blog, IRC or a message in a bottle (the latter may take a while as I could be deep in conversation with my coconut friend).

Technically that should be Oh Cara, Oh Papa.

Please join me in congratulating Lance and his suffering wife in the arrival of Cara Haig, their first baby. Typical of a woman Cara decided to disregard any notion of time and arrived three weeks early. By all accounts all the Haigs are doing well.

Well done Mrs Haig, oh and you Lance. Welcome to this wierd world Cara, and may you have a safe and enjoyable time here.

That's right we can now compete with Dolce & Gabana, Chanel, YSL, Calvin Klein et al.

Jonny and I collected the fab "Official" Bongo polo shirts today, and not wanting to disappoint I took a photo or two of them on our resident catwalk model (guess who).



Photo was taken on my N95, so don't whine about the quality. A close up of the logo - they look much better in real life



For those that ordered them, please let me know if you want them prior to LRL or if you're happy to get them at the event.
