What happens when you make one contribution to Debian? You get that irresistible urge to follow up. Human beings are so predictable in doing things that are rewarding. I wrote about my first real contribution to Debian the other day. My merge request was accepted and the patches I made landed in the unstable version of Debian. I had a full-blown installation of Debian Unstable running on my hard disk by then. It is kind of funny how you install unstable (also called sid). You first install a stable version. And then you go to /etc/apt/sources.list and make it point to unstable. And then you apt full-upgrade your system. That’s it. You are now “unstable”. I also went ahead and installed KDE Plasma - the winner of DE showoff in free software camp. I installed a hundred Matrix clients and discovered this glossy one called Mirage. I reveled in some nostalgia looking at Synaptic package manager (and XFCE before installing KDE). I setup Kmail. I setup an schroot for package testing. And by then Praveen had found a critical bug in the node-yarnpkg package.
