  • The Bongo Images will no longer be built on the rPath environment

    For quite some time now we have been using the rPath rBuilder system to create images for the project. I have also used it for a few other projects.

  • Bongo Images for 0.4.0 Broken

    Due to a server error where the images get built an error has crept in that make the images useless. This error has been prevalent for some time and so it has caused the images to break. I have therefore pulled the images and will try to fix the problem as soon as I can.…

  • Update on the Bongo API

    Quite some time ago I blogged about my efforts to create a mono API for the bongo store protocol, I have unfortunately been quite busy with my personal life and also at work so this has been neglected. I have again been working on this and at the moment I am stuck trying to get…
