<p>I know that pretty much everyone is (rightfully) freaking out
about stuff that is getting worse, but I just wanted to share some
good news in the form of an old-fashioned open-source success
story / software automation win.<br>
</p>
<p>I'm a fairly boring person and developed most of my software
habits in the late 1990s and early 2000s, so it's pretty rare that
I actually hit a bug. But my script for rebuilding my blog (
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://blog.zgp.org/automatically-run-make/">https://blog.zgp.org/automatically-run-make/</a> ) hit an error
recently, since it is now keeping track of more than 1024 files.<br>
<br>
1. I filed <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2345921">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2345921</a><br>
<br>
2. A helpful developer, <span class="bz_comment_user"><span
class="vcard "><span class="fn">Jan Kratochvil, wrote a fix
and put in a pull request.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span class="bz_comment_user"><span class="vcard "><span
class="fn">3. A bot made test packages and commented with
instructions for me on how to test the fix.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span class="bz_comment_user"><span class="vcard "><span
class="fn">4. I commented that the new version works for me</span></span></span></p>
<p><span class="bz_comment_user"><span class="vcard "><span
class="fn">5. The fix just went into Fedora. Pretty damn
slick.</span></span></span></p>

it...<br>
