Le code source de Firefox débarque sur GitHub.

Un important changement a lieu en ce moment pour la gestion du code source de Firefox. Mozilla l’a « déplacé » vers GitHub. Les guillemets sont de rigueur, car le processus de transition depuis les serveurs hg.mozilla.org est toujours en cours et la synchronisation avec les serveurs Mercurial est toujours active.

Dans l’immédiat, rien ne change donc pour les développeurs. Il s’agit cependant du début de la fin pour l’ancienne architecture utilisée par Mozilla. C’est la conséquence du choix de passer sur une infrastructure Git pour gérer le projet. Pour le moment, on ne parle que de stockage du code, sans impact sur le suivi des bugs, l’intégration continue et autres fonctions.

Notez qu’il ne s’agit pas du premier dépôt que Mozilla possède sur GitHub. La fondation utilise par exemple un dépôt miroir pour Gecko, bien qu’en lecture seule uniquement.

🗓️ Tech Trivia

To challenge Intel's 486 dominance in the early 1990s, Texas Instruments (TI) sold their own line of 486 microprocessors. However, these TI-branded chips were actually designed by Cyrix, offering software compatibility at a potentially lower cost, yet ultimately failing to dethrone Intel in the microprocessor market.

I recently made a new post, in which I explain the differences between the 2.4G and 5G Wi-Fi bands.

Difference between 2.4G and 5G Wifi
Not strictly related to Linux but I recently had an interesting discussion with a not-so-technical friend who confused 2.4G and 5G wifi as 2nd generation and 5th generation. I can see why there is a confusion. Terms like 3G, 4G and 5G got popular due to the rise of smartphones. It is easy to mistake 5G of wifi connection for 5th generation of network. Here’s the thing: In terms of Wi-Fi networks, G in 2.4G and 5G are the frequency unit GHz. It has nothing to with 5th generation of cellular da…
