Post-processing RPM build logs
I’m so happy to write this article. With Packit and
Copr, we are improving the RPM ecosystem
so much that we can work on User Experience (rather Developer Experience) more
and more. Finally \o/
Always, read, error, messages
Carefully.
And think about them, Tomas! After you’re done, interpret them.

Okay, less poetry, more science.
This is a short story on how I spent a few hours trying to renew a Let’s
Encrypt certificate for my home server. And kept on

RHEL 9 and PyPI RPMs
My colleague, @FrostyX, recently shared a Red Hat Developer article, Thousands of PyPI and RubyGems RPMs now available for RHEL 9, with us.

My 2022 Focus
It’s Sunday evening, January 2nd and I finally made myself to start writing this blog post. It was on my plate for more than four weeks: I guess it’s hard to write when you don’t have the frame. I did not really know what I want to achieve with this writing: new year sounded like a great excuse.
