Quicker "Newest" pages - 19/06/2006 23:38 GMT

A user emailed me today to point out that the "Newest" pages we're taking upwards of 3 seconds to render; I had previously not noticed this. So I spent some time decreasing the render time and putting it below 0.5 seconds (and often lower). So you can thank Colin Kiegel for that.

Also pointed out to me was that packages such as app-editors/ne had extremely long bug lists due to their sot package name. I have fixed this by limiting the bug list to 30 and providing a link to bugs.gentoo.org if there are more then 30 listed.

If anyone else sees anything they feel should be fixed, email me. I'm always looking for things to do on the site.

I don't know if there's a better place to be posting this, but I'd like to remove an image I uploaded to gentoo-portage.com/up_img/thumb/1471.png since I've now uploaded a second, better version (IMO) to gentoo-portage.com/up_img/thumb/1472.png. Both of these images are currently shown at gentoo-portage.com/x11-misc/xfractint but I only want the more recent one (1472) to be there. - dcljr

Now that he mentions it, I'd like to remove:
gentoo-portage.com/up_img/1153.png (png image is huge, and a jpeg is available)
gentoo-portage.com/up_img/thumb/1454.png (full screen, not just window)

Thanks

gentoo-portage rocks, and I particularly like your new design and features. I noticed however that it is rendered utterly useless in simple browsers like Dillo or text browsers like lynx/links2 because all the package links do not default to being links in the absence of Javascript.

while we're suggesting things, it'd be pretty sweet to see the relevant piece of changelog in the RSS description. PS I'm a big whiney baby.

The goal behind the redesign was likely to make the site faster for those who commonly use it. He ephasised allowing the content to dynamically adjust for screen size and such, and runs a couple scripts to help track what people are using when viewing the site. I myself am a big fan of console browsers and lightweight ones, don't get me wrong.. but I really don't see *that* much use for using one to browse gentoo-portage.com. When designing a site that uses JavaScript, it's often more difficult and time consuming to design an alternative site without JS for that very small percentage of visitors who choose not to use it.

Just my $0.02.

The expandable pictures... whatever code that is, doesn't work in Opera 9.01. The picture gets shown, but there's no "CLOSE X" button available. I have to shut down the tab.

Other than that, I've got nothing to fault gentoo-portage.com. Excellent work on the redesign!
