Time to relax!

  • “…Your brain needs an adjustment period to get out of work mode. Otherwise you’ll keep going and going until you just pass out in bed.

It’s sensory heaven to me.” – Take a break from stress and share how you relax

Releases

  • CouchDB PPA Updates – Dave Cottlehuber uploaded the Ubuntu PPA builds for 1.6.1 in the dev PPA, to support Wily & Xenial (still in alpha but not for long). The main changes are around correctly implementing systemd-related changes, in particular couch.uri now lives in /run/ instead of the old-school /var/run/, and we now have a systemd “unit” controlling CouchDB. View the source code here. If there are any changes or additions people need, please let Dave know, otherwise he’s rolling this into the stable PPA in about a week.
