Fixed 14 bugs today, with a few more pending (those for packages only get marked as FIXED if it is moved to the stable state). One of the changes is the GRUB2 support in the Gentoo Handbook (yes, finally, sorry about that). That opens up the road for the stabilization of GRUB2.
I also added a dozen fixes to the Gentoo SELinux policy repository and
sent a few others upstream that have been lingering in our policy for
quite some time. But the highlight for me was that I got to play with my
Wacom Bamboo pen and touch which, I must say, integrated easily with my
system. I only had to build the wacom.ko
kernel module and install the
xf86-input-wacom
package, but that's all - no reboot needed. Even GIMP
immediately detected the new device and I can start drawing and fixing
pictures more easily (I work on pictures often and a mouse just isn't
that obvious).
One of the huge benefits is that the pressure you put on the drawing pad is related (and configurable) to a drawing function in GIMP, something you don't have with mice. For instance, if you need to Dodge or Burn on layers, you don't need to continuously switch between the amount - just adjust the pressure.
