 Yes! I got bazaar working Finally, I can start reporting my 5 bugs a day.

Anyway, in regards to the topology problem, my professor is programming some crazy optimized shiz in Python. I figure my only chance to one up him (and multitask) is to write it in Common Lisp. Since that’s what I’m going to be writing my project for Programming Languages in, it’ll be great experience. So far, I’m thinking I’ll be able to take advantage of lists and cons to construct each possible topology. I’ve got a whiteboard in the Math Department Lounge covered with some ideas, so progress is being made.

My progress in packaging is going pretty well. I feel like every time I attend a “Packaging 101″ session (Thank you Ubuntu Developer Week!) things make 500 times more sense. I’ve actually successfully created the hello package from the Packaging Guide, and even made another from scratch. Next up is to run through some of the recipies in the guide, and start getting really familiar with the tools.

What I think is really cool, is packaging Firefox3 extensions. I’m catching up on the Firefox3 IRC session right now. Sounds like it’ll be really useful, and there’s a lot of work that needs to be done, since it’s such a new area. In other words, it’s right up my alley

One issue I’m running in to is installing bazaar. If anyone knows how to fix this:

bzr: ERROR: Couldn't import bzrlib and dependencies.
Please check bzrlib is on your PYTHONPATH.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bzr", line 64, in
import bzrlib
ImportError: No module named bzrlib


let me know. Meanwhile, the google searching continues.
