Heroku & unattended-upgrades

Tue, 09 Oct 2012 18:59:00 -0400

I raised ticket 62826 with Heroku, asking for the headers to be added to their Debian repo. After a couple of emails, erm, it’s been done! I’m really quite chuffed. I love unattended-upgrades, and the lack of headers was quite annoying. But now they’re added.

Cook it over a camp-fire, with the fish’s insides filled with ginny-lemon slices (slice lemon quite thinly, put not too thin – they fall apart – place on a saucer, throw over a good slug of decent gin, leave to soak for a bit), butter (a lot of butter), pepper (again, quite a lot, but I really like pepper), a sprig or two of thyme, and wrap the fish in wetted newspaper (if the paper tears, it’s too wet), and cook the wrapped fish until the paper’s dry.
