With the trend of posting daily<\/a> del<\/a>.icio<\/a>.us<\/a> links<\/a>, I’ve been thinking of trying out a “daily mailing list posts”. Maybe I’ll get around to it sometime. Anyway, today’s mailing list post is this one<\/a> about dodgy uploads of lib packages. It seems to be the season for it, since Matt Zimmerman did the same thing with libflac recently. Anyway, as that email mentions, I rejected the packages. That’s done with a tool from the “dak” suite called “lisa”, and everytime I use it, I tend to feel sorry for whichever poor sucker gets the message — heck, it’s not even enough to say “the package was rejected, sorry”, it’s instead shouted with a subject like “libofx_0.7.0-3_powerpc.changes REJECTED”.<\/p>\n

So, with apologies to Ben Folds<\/a>… <\/p>\n

Using Lisa<\/b><\/p>\n

The queue is full again.
\nIt took me by surprise.
\nThey’re so sensitive,
\nBut shit just happens sometimes.<\/p>\n

She’s my everything.
\nShe’s my best friend and more.
\nWe don’t do anything,
\nWe didn’t do the day…
\nBefore you go,
\nYou ought to know,
\nThat she didn’t mean to hurt you.
\nI just wanted you to know.<\/p>\n

Black tears are falling down your face,
\nYour deb was wrong.
\nBlack tears are falling as you realise
\nWhat she’s done.
\nYour deb was there before you,
\nAnd now it’s gone.
\nBlack tears are falling, falling.<\/p>\n

Remember long ago,
\nDebugging, building, hacking.
\nOh so long ago,
\nThen you uploaded something.
\nLife was simple then.
\nBut it’s REJECTed now, and you…
\nYou don’t feel anything.
\nShe was reproving;
\nYou are mesmerised
\nBy tiny lines.
\nYou’re watching as the mail is forming,
\nSlowly from the MIME.<\/p>\n

[Repeat Black tears… verse]
\nBlack tears are falling, falling.<\/p>\n

Using Lisa…
\nUsing Lisa…
\nUsing Lisa, and there’s nothing you can do.<\/p>\n

Black tears are falling, falling. Ooo, ooo.
