[Coding] ATLAS 3.8.2 is just out.

• I found it just after sending the patch for 3.8.1 to the port maintainer... what a timing.
• Release Notes say there are several bug fixes, so let's try again.
• It looks OK for 3.8.2, so I made a patch (from 3.8.0 to 3.8.2) and sent it again.
• ところで（と急に日本語）、件の maintainer の方 （は、たまたま日本のひとなのだけど）、実は先日までここ、 つまりカナダの、アルバータ州の、エドモントンに、これまた偶然に来ていて、 conference で私の同僚と出会って喋り、その同僚に職場にまで連れてこられた（？） のだそうだ（という返信をいただいた）。 しかし世界は狭すぎるね。いやいや、まったく、悪いことはできないもんだな （って、何も悪いことなどしてないですけれど、もちろん）。
• 6/12/2008: committed.

[Coding] upgrading ATLAS ports to 3.8.1.

• For a quite long time, I've been stuck at ATLAS 3.6.0, because upgrading to 3.8.0 (the current version in ports) failed during the build. it seems the same symptom here -- PR - ports/119845.
  • cf. freebsd-ports ML;
    FreeBSD Port:atlas-3.8.0,1(Dec 30 21:49:14 PST 2007)
    FreeBSD Port:atlas-3.8.0,1(Jan 6 18:05:04 PST 2008)
• I thought I had tried before to compile the newer version by myself and found it failed. but today i tried again with 3.8.1, and somehow it is done! So I decided to upgrade the port.
• It looks that some patches had already been applied at the main code, and the corrections for other patch looks straightforward.
• It is now working (i guess). My system is FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE (how lazy i am...) with intel core duo T2400 (32bit). i don't know anything about other systems.
• Some notes:
  • Patch should be made by

    diff -ruN superedit.bak superedit
       

    I made a patch file with "-rcN", the context output rather than the unified one (following my own old tips memo). I should update it.
• Ref: freebsd.org, freshports.
• 6/6/2008: update octave code in ryuon-stokes.
• 6/7/2008: the patch has been sent to the maintainer, and...
• 6/12/2008: committed.

X の driver を変える。

• i810 から intel に変わったらしいけど、日々 portupgrade していて、 i810 のまま今まで来ていた（何の問題も無いので、別にいいのだけど）。
• ついでに、いらない driver を全部消しておいた。
• しかし、挙動が何か変わっている。輝度が何の拍子か、最大値に持っていかれる。 X の起動時もだが、 mplayer を起動してもそうだ。これは何とかならないものか。 （もともと、明るい画面だと目が反応して辛いので、暗くしている。）
