Samba 4 in experimental
The (still alpha) 4.0.0 release of Samba is now in experimental. Both Samba 3 and Samba 4 packages are likely to coexist in the archive as Samba 3 is still for a while the production code for File and Print services while Samba 4 is the development branch of the Samba team to implement Active Directory domain control (among other things).

Samba4 packages also bring a big bunch of libraries, most of which being used to related development such as Openchange.

Expect some neat new packages in experimental, then unstable, pretty soon now.

Please do NOT replace production servers running samba 3.0.* or samba 3.2.* by samba4....not yet..:-)

The samba4 packages are maintained by Jelmer Vernooij, one of the two main developers for Samba 4 in the Samba Team (the other being Andrew Bartlett). Jelmer is someone we should stuck out from the NM queue as soon as possible..:-)

Anyway, this is again another success of that small team we built around Samba and samba-related packaging. Thanks to all involved people (Steve Langasek, Noèl Köthe, Jelmer Vernooij, Peter Eisentraut, etc.).

[life] Running pace
Dirk often blogs about running and generally posts his running paces as minutes/mile. Well, we're both geeks, so numerical challenges are logical for us..:)

I follow my own 'performance' (or lack of) in terms of speed in kilometers per hour. Which makes the conversion fairly hard.

Just to confirm that we live on different planets, this week, I tried to get a rough idea and then calculated my usual pace (for distances ranging from 15km to 25km, as well as short distances such as 5km):

  • On short distance (5km), my best pace is currently 11.75km/h, which turns to 5'06" per kilometer, or 8'19" per mile. I run such distance fairly rarely. It probably could be improved to about 12km/h. For those who care, that makes 25 minutes for 5000m while the world record is less than 13..:-)
  • On medium distance (15km), my pace is around 10.75km/h, turning to 5'33" per kilometer, or 9'05" per mile.
  • On my longest distance (27km), the pace was 10.16km/h, turning to 5'54" per kilometer, or 9'37" per mile (however, that time, I had to stop a few times to have a look at my map as I was using new paths). I once ran 26km at 10.5km/h, so nothing really reproducible there, still.
The challenge I give myself currently is not really running faster (I apparently reached a level which I can't easily break), but more running longer. My current estimate is that 30-35km could be achievable (I only need to find enough time for this) while a marathon is still out of question. Frankly, I couldn't even imagine this when I (re)started running, less than 1 year ago.

Anyway, for people going to Debconf, I plan to gather the Debian runners and share the pleasure of running together during the conference. I'll probably open an "event" for this in Pentabarf. Of course, the point there will be sharing the pleasure, not performance. So, even if you are a very occasionnal runner, you're welcome.
