Bug#744706: O: wxmaxima -- GUI for the computer algebra system Maxima

2014-04-13 Thread Frank S. Thomas
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the wxmaxima package.

The package description is:
 wxMaxima is a graphical user interface for the computer algebra system
 Maxima. It eases the use of Maxima by making most of its commands available
 through a menu system and by providing input dialogs for commands that
 require more than one argument. It also implements its own display engine
 that outputs mathematical symbols directly instead of depicting them with
 ASCII characters.
 .
 wxMaxima also features 2D and 3D inline plots, simple animations, mixing of
 text and mathematical calculations to create documents, exporting of input

the Scala team has been inactive for a very long time, so I guess nobody 
considers your upload rude. On the contrary, your upload brought Scala back to 
testing, so thank you for that!

 I can format-patch the changes to you if you'd like, but there's nothing
 very complicated going on.  My apologies if this disrupts any packaging

No problem, I just pushed your changes to the Git repo.

Bug#641249: [scala] Use +dfsg instead of .dfsg in the version number

2011-09-11 Thread Frank S. Thomas
Package: scala
Version: 2.9.1.dfsg-1
Severity: important

Lintian currently informs us about:

 I: dfsg-version-with-period

 The version number of this package contains .dfsg, probably in a form
 like 1.2.dfsg1. There is a subtle sorting problem with this version
 method: 1.2.dfsg1 is considered a later version than 1.2.1. If upstream
 adds another level to its versioning, finding a good version number for
 the next upstream release will be awkward.
 
 Upstream may never do this, in which case this isn't a problem, but it's
 normally better to use +dfsg instead (such as 1.2+dfsg1). + sorts
 before ., so 1.2  1.2+dfsg1  1.2.1 as normally desired.

Since upstreams uses an optional fourth number for hotfix releases, as we have 
seen with 2.9.0 and 2.9.0.1, we should use +dfsg for the next upload of a 
new upstream release.

Ok, you are of course right. I missed that the libMinuit2.so from ROOT was 
linked to other ROOT libraries.

  So basically I'm using Minuit2 just as a standalone library and therefore
  need its header files.
 
 Then, you should truly use it as stand-alone and get the stand-alone
 package :-)

Since the ROOT source package already includes the Minuit2 sources, could 
stand-alone packages of it (e.g. libminuit2 and libminuit2-dev) be built from 
the ROOT source package? Or is it required to introduce an independent source
package for Minuit2?

  Copy and paste works here as expected.

 now that I had some time to experiment with wxmaxima, I found the

 Now wxmaxima puts the selection into the clipboard buffer, and middle click
 inserts the clipboard buffer. This is not how other applications work,
 though, they use the primary buffer for select-insert, and use the
 clipboard buffer for the ^C-^V clipboard.

I think that this is a good answer why the copy to clipboard on select 
option is off by default. That is just not how other applications use the X 
buffers.

With this option off, my observation is that wxMaxima does not put selections 
into the PRIMARY buffer (like all other applications do) but CTRL-C puts 
selections into the CLIPBOARD buffer (like all other applications). But this 
is still different from your observation that CTRL-C doesn't do anything at 
all.

I'll ask upstream about this.

Upstream explained that with recent Maxima versions (5.18 or later) an

 There's a good reason for that.  All the packages at that are named
 `root-plugin-.*' are - well - plug-ins.  That means, that it is up to
 ROOT's internal loading mechanism to load the right library.   That also
 means, that you should not use the concrete interface provided by these
 packages, but instead use the virtual interface provided in the core.
 
 For Minuit2, you should do
 
 TVirtualFitter* fitter = TVirtualFitter::Fitter(0, 0);
 
 and have
 
 Root.Fitter: Minuit2
 
 in your .rootrc file.

I guess I should explain how I use Minuit2. I'm developing a C++ program with 
a Fcn class that is derived from ROOT::Minuit2::FCNBase. A method of this 
class computes some number that I want to minimize. In the simpliest form this 
is achieved by using the class ROOT::Minuit2::MnMinimize together with my Fcn, 
but I want to be able to use other minimizing strategies and to vary/fix the 
parameters of my function. The classes in the ROOT::Minuit2 namespace are of 
course all declared in the Minuit2 headers (that were included in the old 
package). So my C++ source files only #include the required Minuit2 headers,  
and nothing else from ROOT, and my program is only linked against 
libMinuit2.so, and also nothing else from ROOT. I want to use Minuit2 directly 
in my program and don't need another abstraction layer.

So basically I'm using Minuit2 just as a standalone library and therefore need 
its header files.

 If, however, you (and others) can convince me, that you _must_ use the
 TMinuit2 class directly, then perhaps I can be persuaded to make
 root-plugin-math-minuit2 into the two packages
 libroot-math-minuit2{5.xx,-dev}.

From my current point of view I would very much like to have a libroot-math-
minuit2-dev package.

 Perhaps you want to consider joining the debian-science mailing list?
 It's for users, maintainers, and developers a-like.

I'm lurking on debian-science but currently don't have enough free time for 
valuable contributions.

Thanks and cheers
Frank

Bug#547573: [wxmaxima] cut and paste doesn't work

Hi,

On Sunday 20 September 2009 23:04:12 Mate Miklos wrote:
 Version: 0.8.3a-1

 The edit/copy, edit/paste, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, as well as the X11 selection

 windows.

 libwxbase2.8-0 (= 2.8.7.1) | 2.8.7.1-2

Having the same wxMaxima version installed, I cannot reproduce this. Copy and 
paste works here as expected. You could check what is in the clipboard with 
the xsel utility (try xsel -psb to output the content of all X selections) 
and verify with it that nothing is transferred from wxMaxima to the X 
selections.

I'm not an X expert but maybe the desktop environment influences the X 
selections. Which one are you using and have you tried cp in other 
environments? I tested wxMaxima within KDE 4.

It would be also interesting to try out other applications that are linked to 
libwxbase2.8-0 and to check if cp works there. amule would be such an 
application.

Bug#461921: wxmaxima queries cupsd far too often

Hi,

 When started in an environment with a lot of printers, wxmaxima queries

 cupsd (typically, I get 70% cpu for wxmaxima and 40% for cupsd when I

 when maxima is computing).

Does this also happen with wxMaxima 0.8.2? I think I don't have enough 
printers here to reproduce this myself.

boinc-client suggests schedtool because its init script can make use of it. 
How does cpulimit enhances boinc-client's usefulness? How are they related?

Bug#511563: Incorrect calculation of Variance/StdDev

Hi Raphael,

 When entering the numbers 3 7 7 19 in fields A1-A4 of a new spreadsheet,
 selecting them and selecting Column statistics from the context menu, a

 It contains (among others) two fields for Standard Deviation and Variance.
 LabPlot calculates the variance as 48 and the StdDev as 6.9... which is
 incorrect. The correct variance is 36, the correct StdDev is 6.
 This error can be reproduced with other combinations of numbers.

 It seems that LabPlot always divides the sum of squares by n-1 instead of
 n.

LabPlot's behaviour is consistent with other programs like OOCalc, Mathematica 
and QtiPlot. STDEV() and VAR() in OOCalc and StandardDeviation[] and 
Variance[] in Mathematica both reproduce what LabPlot calculated. As explained 
on [1], all these programs compute the bias-corrected sample variance and 
it's square root. On that page it is also mentioned that using variance for 
bias-corrected variance is consistent with widespread inconsistent and 
ambiguous terminology. Too bad, but that's the way it is.

I think it would be more confusing if LabPlot would deviate from the 
terminology of all other programs.

We, the Debian BOINC Maintainers, put up boinc and boinc-app-seti for
adoption. None of us currently have enough time to properly maintain
these packages, e.g. fixing non-RC bugs, updating them to new upstream

version behind the current upstream release and the packages accumulate
bug reports that are left unanswered. So if you are a BOINC user or

Bug#504467: init script fails to shut down boinc if $BOINC_OPTS contains --daemon

2008-11-16 Thread Frank S. Thomas
reassign 504467 boinc-client 6.2.14-2
severity 504467 normal
thanks

The boinc-client init script fails to shut down boinc if /var/run/boinc.pid 
does not contain the actual boinc pid. This can happen if boinc is started 
with the --daemon option. Since this option is not used in the default 
configuration of boinc-client, this bug is at most of severity normal and 
not release critical. An easy fix would be to add a warning to 
/etc/default/boinc-client to not use the --daemon option. More elegant would 
be of course if the init script would work with or without this option.

 Well, on this machine there is no swap space ;)

So if I'm right, the client should never leave applications in memory which is 
opposed to the other bug you reported. *sigh* :-)

  If you want to limit RAM usage, you should adjust ram_max_used_busy_pct
  and ram_max_used_idle_pct in global_prefs_override.xml.

 These are the values for the keys:

 $ egrep ram_max_used_idle_pct|ram_max_used_busy_pct
 /etc/boinc-client/global_prefs_override.xml
ram_max_used_busy_pct50.00/ram_max_used_busy_pct
ram_max_used_idle_pct90.00/ram_max_used_idle_pct

 It seems a safe situation, but the problem appears anyhow (and I
 didn't change those parameters in the meantime). I was on 6.2.12 while 
 now I'm on 6.2.14 (waiting for .18 to be built for amd64) so I don't
 know if in the meantime it was fixed or not.

Frankly, I don't know. But it would be interesting if you could modify those 
values to find out if it affects RAM usage. For example, set them to 25.0 and 
50.0, restart the client and monitor the client's RAM usage. To monitor 
BOINC's RAM usage the attached script may be helpful:
$ watch -n 0.5 ./boinc-mem-usage.sh

In theory, BOINC's total resident set size (in %) should never exceed 
ram_max_used_idle_pct.

to 25.0 and you have 1 GB of swap space, BOINC would only use 250 MB of it 
for suspended applications.

 but boicmgr didn't respect them, and I got 4 garli processes (each one
 takes 1Gb of ram) on my 4Gb Ram machine, and the box got freezed.

If you want to limit RAM usage, you should adjust ram_max_used_busy_pct and 
ram_max_used_idle_pct in global_prefs_override.xml.

Bug#490543: boinc-manager: leaves apps in memory even if request not to

2008-08-22 Thread Frank S. Thomas
reassign 490543 boinc-client 6.2.11-1
tags 490543 unreproducible
thanks

Hi Sandro,

On Saturday 12 July 2008 16:09, Sandro Tosi wrote:
 boinc-manager is configured not to leave apps in memory if not running:

 $ grep leave_apps_in_memory /etc/boinc-client/global_prefs_override.xml
leave_apps_in_memory0/leave_apps_in_memory

It is the BOINC client that controls applications, so this is an issue with 
the client and not with the manager. I'm therefore reassigning this bug to 
boinc-client.

 but they are left there:
[...]
 while only PID 24879 24959 31290 31291 are really running (other
 processes are boinc itself), and I see the 2 garli processes in Waiting
 to run state on boincmgr.

I tried to reproduce this behavior with several tasks by repeatedly suspending 
and resuming them so that their status changed between Running, Task 
suspended by user, and Waiting to run. But ps indicated that only those 
tasks with status Running were actually running.

Is this issue reproducible with your client and apps? Happens this only with 
the garli applications or have you seen other applications that stayed in 
memory although they were not Running? If you can reproduce this, could you 
please set task_debug in /etc/boinc-client/cc_config.xml to 1 and post the 
relevant output from the client's log file? Thanks!

BTW: In the first paragraph of this page[1] it is said that some applications 
take fairly long to shut down. Maybe garli is one of those applications?

 Yep. Additionally, we also discussed the idea of having a single script

 sane defaults. Cc-ing the bugreport to store this wish.

I think it would also be nice if wnpp-alert could sort packages by popcon

Bug#495105: ITP: scidavis -- application for scientific data analysis and visualization

2008-08-14 Thread Frank S. Thomas
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]

* Package name: scidavis
  Version : 0.1.3
  Upstream Authors: Tilman Benkert, Knut Franke
* URL : http://scidavis.sourceforge.net/

 SciDAVis is an application for data analysis and visualization.
 .
 Some of SciDAVis' features are:
  * Tables, matrices, graphs and notes are gathered in a project and can be
organized using folders.
  * Tables for entering data directly or importing from ASCII files.
  * Column-based computations using standard and special functions.
  * Many built-in analysis operations like column/row statistics,
(de)convolution, FFT and FFT-based filters.
  * Extensive support for fitting linear and nonlinear functions to the data,
including multi-peak fitting.
  * 2D plots in a variety of formats, including symbols/lines, bars and pie
charts.
  * Interactive 3D plots with export to a variety of formats, including EPS
and PDF.
  * Note windows with support for in-place evaluation of mathematical
expressions. Also other objects in the project can be accessed to e.g.
rapidly writing an import filter for a custom data format.

Bug#461806: Adopting it

2008-08-11 Thread Frank S. Thomas
Hi Ding,

Sorry for the late reply. 

On Tuesday 05 August 2008 09:32, Ding Honghui wrote:
 I has update the fields and reupload the package to mentors.debian.org.
 And I will commit in the codes to svn when I'm approved to.

Ok, good. I've uploaded your package. For further uploads of curlftpfs, please 
contact me directly.

I still have some comments on the current package which you should keep in 
mind for the future and/or fix in the next revision:

From your .diff.gz:
 +curlftpfs (0.9.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
 +
 +  * New upstream release. (closes: #480320,#449207,#461455)

Unless all three bugs are about packaging the new upstream release, this is a 
bad habit of writing a changelog entry. Better would be something like this:

  * New upstream release. (closes: #999111)
- Fixes bug A. (closes: #123456)
- Fixes problem when doing this and that. (closes: #123457)

Bug #999111 is then the report which is about packaging the new upstream 
release.

Second, the build-dependency on libcurl4-gnutls-dev should be versioned, it 
should be libcurl4-gnutls-dev (= 7.17.0) because libcurl4-gnutls-dev 
packages existed which does not fullfill the above requirement.

See Debian Policy for reference:
 4.2 Package relationships
 [...]
 If build-time dependencies are specified, it must be possible to build the
 package and produce working binaries on a system with only essential and
 build-essential packages installed and also those required to satisfy the
 build-time relationships (including any implied relationships). In
 particular, this means that version clauses should be used rigorously in
 build-time relationships so that one cannot produce bad or inconsistently
 configured packages when the relationships are properly satisfied.

Bug#438779: boinc-client: update of package should not start new version automatically

2008-08-04 Thread Frank S. Thomas
On Sunday 19 August 2007 18:40, Steffen Moeller wrote:
 The szenario that I just ran into was that I had donated
 a colleague the machine for his computations, /etc/init.d/boind stopped
 for that and then did apt-get -u dist-upgrade. Boinc-client was started
 but I should have asked at least.

It is reasonable to ask for that a service is not started during a system 
upgrade or boot if this is desired. This should be possible for all services, 
not just BOINC because it runs CPU intensive applications and therefore has a 
special impact on the system. The way how boinc-client's init script is 
installed and integrated into the init system is the default way in Debian 
(via dh_installinit), therefore I don't think changing solely boinc-client's 
maintainer scripts is the right way to address this issue.

In a previous mail to this bug report I advised to set ENABLED=0 in 
/etc/default/boinc-client after running /etc/init.d/boinc stop to disable 
the init script completely. This has the desired effect that BOINC is not 
started during an upgrade or boot, but it has the disadvantage that you can't 
use the init script without editing /etc/default/boinc-client before. In the 
meantime I learned in this thread [1] that the standard way how to disable 
services (not restarting them on upgrades nor starting them at boot) is to 
change the the S symlinks in /etc/rc?.d/ to K symlinks (so changing 
/etc/rc?.d/S20boinc-client to /etc/rc?.d/K20boinc-client). This has the 
desired effect of not restarting BOINC on upgrades and still let you start and 
stop it via /etc/init.d/boinc-client.

There is a tool called sysv-rc-conf which renames the symlinks for you. So to 
disable the BOINC client you can run:

  sysv-rc-conf boinc-client off

I think this is what you should have done in the first place before running  
/etc/init.d/boinc stop and giving the machine to your colleague. This way 
the boinc-client wouldn't have bugged you during the dist-upgrade.

What do you think? Can we close this bug or should boinc-client really behave 
differently than other services?

I had the same issue here. The problem was that kdelibs5/4:4.0.84-1, which was

Bug#476922: [desktop-file-utils] desktop-file-validate: option --warn-kde is useless and other issues

2008-04-20 Thread Frank S. Thomas
Package: desktop-file-utils
Version: 0.15-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

Desktop-file-validate warns about reserved keys or values for KDE in the 
Desktop Entry group regardless if the --warn-kde option is given or not. One 
would assume that these warnings are suppressed if desktop-file-validate is 
invoked without the --warn-kde option.
It also complains about groups which begin with PropertyDef::, for example:

  error: file contains group PropertyDef::X-KDE-Name, but groups extending
  the format should start with X-

But this extension is used by (at least) KDE3 service types, see: 
http://techbase.kde.org/index.php?title=Development/Architecture/KDE3/Services
Maybe desktop-file-validate should also suppress these errors unless 
the --warn-kde option is given.

Another issue is that desktop-file-validate does not complain about commas 
used as separators in lists (in the latest Desktop Entry Specification the 
use of commas as separator is marked as deprecated in favor of semicolons).

Bug#475522: [qtiplot] default path for translations is /usr/bin/translations instead of /usr/share/qtiplot/translations

2008-04-11 Thread Frank S. Thomas
Package: qtiplot
Version: 0.9.4-1
Severity: minor

Hello,

The default path for translation files in View - Preferences... - File 
Locations - Translations is /usr/bin/translations instead 
of /usr/share/qtiplot/translations (where the translation files are actually 
installed). This means that changing the language is not possible unless the 
path for translation files is changed.

And BTW: The manpage lists a --default option, but qtiplot only 
knows --default-settings.

Thanks,

Bug#409490: labplot: Labplot crashed when opening a .lpl file in konqueror or thunar

2008-03-29 Thread Frank S. Thomas
tags 409490 + pending patch

Hello,

On Saturday 03 February 2007 16:44, Lee Garrett wrote:
 when opening a .lpl file in one of the two mentioned file managers (on two
 different systems), labplot just crashes.

LabPlot also crashes if it is invoked on the command line with an .lpl / .lml 
file as argument. Backtraces of the crashes indicate that these happen when 
this functions are called in MainWin.cc:

 action = new
 KAction(title,icon,KShortcut(),sm,SLOT(map()),actionCollection());

 action = new
 KAction(title,icon,KShortcut(),smg,SLOT(map()),actionCollection());

These functions are indirectly called in openLPL() or openXML(). Looking at 
MainWin::MainWin() shows that sm and smg are initialized after the openLPL() 
and openXML() calls:

 if(QFile::exists(fn)  fn.contains(.lpl))
 openLPL(fn);
 else if(QFile::exists(fn)  ( fn.contains(.lml) ||
 fn.contains(.xml) )) openXML(fn);

 modified = false;
 is_fullscreen=false;

 sm = new QSignalMapper(this);
 connect(sm,SIGNAL(mapped(int)),this,SLOT(setActiveSheet(int)));
 smg = new QSignalMapper(this);
 connect(smg,SIGNAL(mapped(int)),this,SLOT(changeGraph(int)));

So the cause for the crashes is that KAction() is called while sm and smg are 
not initialized. An easy fix for this bug is to move the openLPL() and 
openXML() calls after the initialization of sm and smg, as for example in the 
attached patch. I will probably upload a fixed package soon.

Bug#472496: The --upstream-version option is listed twice in the synopsis section of git-import-orig's manpage

2008-03-24 Thread Frank S. Thomas
Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.4.22
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hello,

The subject says it all. The --upstream-version option is listed twice
in the synopsis section of git-import-orig's manpage. The first of the
attached patches removes the second of this options.

I have also attached another patch which I would like to see applied.
This one replaces the plain text references to other manpages  in the
SEE ALSO section of the form of COMMAND (#SECTION) with the
citerefentry element, see [1] for details. The advantage of using
citerefentry references over the plain text references is that the
former are formatted unitary to other manpages generated with
docbook2man and that for example if the manpages are viewed with
Konqueror, hyperlinks are used for these references - which is quite handy.

Thanks for considering,
Frank

I don't have enough spare time to maintain schafkopf on my own and I don't 
want to upload yet another package with an inactive upstream to the archive - 
the last upstream release was more than two years ago. Since currently we 
both aren't interested in maintaining schafkopf, I'm retitling this bug to 
RFP. Prospective packagers might want to reuse parts of my previous packaging 
effort which is available in this Git repository:

 The full build log is available from:
http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2008/03/08

This FTBFS is caused by the new liborigin/20080225-1 which changed it's API 
and ABI. For example the declaration of the OPJFile::colType() function 
changed from
const char *OPJFile::colType(int, int) const;   (20071119)
to
ColumnType OPJFile::colType(int, int) const;(20080225).

And this is not the only API/ABI incompatible change. I guess liborigin's 
SONAME should have been bumped for version 20080225. However, I've a patch 
ready to fix this bug (it is attached, and requires a B-D on liborigin (= 
20080225)) but it needs some more testing before I can upload a fixed labplot 
package.

Bug#469047: Please use versioned Conflicts for labplot

2008-03-02 Thread Frank S. Thomas
Package: opj2dat
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello,

The labplot package prior version 1.6.0.1-1 shipped /usr/bin/opj2dat 
and /usr/share/man/man1/opj2dat.1.gz and therefore the opj2dat package,
which ships the same files, conflicts with labplot. Since 1.6.0.1-1 labplot 
uses liborigin-dev instead of the included copy of liborigin in labplot's 
tarball and hence doesn't ship these two files anymore. Because of this 
please use a versioned conflicts for labplot:
  Conflicts: labplot ( 1.6.0.1-1)

Thanks,

 This works flawlessly with boincmgr on KDE 3, but I can reproduce this with
 boincmgr on GNOME and KDE 4. I haven't looked at the code yet, but this
 looks odd. Which desktop environment did you used as you observed this?

Looking at boincmgr's code didn't give a hint for this bug, therefore I built 
boinc wiht wxwidgets2.8 from experimental today to see if this is probably a 
wxwidgets bug, and indeed it seems so. If boincmgr is built with 
wxwidgets2.8, scrolling is possible with the mouse wheel even if the mouse 
pointer is not over the scroll bar.

So we are now waiting for wxwidgets2.8 to enter unstable.

It is not required to set this, but some programs, sensible-browser for 
example, respect it when it is set.

 Then entering the command  sensible-browser at the
 command prompt in a gnome-terminal window opens an
 Iceweasel session. If I give it a URL as an arg it will
 open the web page when Iceweasel starts.

Good, that's normal behavior and I expected it.

 But, when I start BOINC Manager and then select eg.
 Your account it still opens a gnome-terminal window
 instead of the browser.

Ok, now please try this again, but this time start the BOINC Manager in a 
gnome-terminal window like this:
  $ BROWSER=iceweasel boincmgr

Does it use Iceweasel as browser now?

Do you know which package this was? Maybe there is a legitimate reason for 
putting it into /usr/lib. However, since the FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy

I'll will move it there.

 Thanks for taking this patch, but you maybe don't want to include the

Yes, I do! :-) They contain some additional information which I'd otherwise

 There is no change in the way that Boinc Manager acts

What happens if you run sensible-browser in an X terminal? For example:
  $ sensible-browser http://www.debian.org

And is the BROWSER variable set in your environment?
  $ echo $BROWSER

Thanks for checking this! I've just verified that the newest upstream version

 When using the  y1|y2|y3|... format, I am not able to change the

Bug#461630: use CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED instead of CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED

2008-02-21 Thread Frank S. Thomas

reassign -1 linux-image-2.6.24-1-686
retitle -1 use CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED instead of CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED
tags -1 = 
submitter -1 !
stop

Hello,

linux-image-2.6.24-1-686 is built with the Completely Fair Scheduler 
(CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED) and it uses userid as basis for grouping tasks 
(CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED), and therefore provides equal CPU bandwidth to each 
user. This configuration has a severe impact on e.g. a desktop system where a 
CPU intensive program with niceness 19 runs under a user that is not the user 
who uses the desktop. The CPU intensive task gets nearly half of the CPU 
cycles which results in a sluggish desktop. An example of such a program is 
boinc-client (from which this bug has been reassigned).

A possible solution for this issue is to use CONFIG_FAIR_CGROUP_SCHED instead 
of CONFIG_FAIR_USER_SCHED and using cgroups to assign different cpu_shares to 
different tasks. Without any configuration all processes are then in the same 
cgroup and since niceness is retained in the same cgroup this would restore 
the behaviour prior to 2.6.24.

Bug#464549: cryptic comment in init.d script

2008-02-07 Thread Frank S. Thomas
Package: fetchmail
Version: 6.3.8-10
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

fetchmail's init.d script contains this cryptic comment:
 # This script will NOT start or stop fetchmail if the /etc/fetchmailrc file
 # does not exist or /etc/default/fetchmail is set to no.

It's not really clear what is meant by /etc/default/fetchmail is set to no. 
Instead this comment should explicitly state that setting the START_DAEMON 
variable in /etc/default/fetchmail to no will result in the script not 
starting fetchmail. A possible patch is attached.

Description: filesystem to access FTP hosts based on FUSE and cURL
 CurlFtpFS is a tool to mount FTP hosts as local directories. It connects
 to a FTP server and maps its directory structure to the local filesystem.
 .
 Based on FUSE (filesystem in userspace) and the cURL library, CurlFtpFS
 has some features that distinguish it over other FTP filesystems:
  * support for SSLv3 and TLSv1
  * connecting through tunneling HTTP proxies
  * automatic reconnection if the server times out
  * conversion of absolute symlinks to point back into the FTP filesystem

Bug#458007: boincmgr: local preferences are not saved

2007-12-30 Thread Frank S. Thomas
Hi Sandro,

On Friday 28 December 2007 16:50, Sandro Tosi wrote:
 It would help for sure! Anyway, I'd like to elaborate some other
 solution to this, for example: since using boinc manager I can
 stop/start elaboration, attaching to/detach from project and so on
 with a normal user (nor boinc nor root) why can't I even change local
 preferences? Would be a such a real threat?

I just went through the old discussion that resulted in restricting the 
permissions of the conffiles again, to refresh my memory why it has been 
changed. The relevant parts can be found here:
http://bugs.debian.org/407678
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-boinc-devel/2007-January/000525.html
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-boinc-devel/2007-January/000526.html

The reasons for restricting the permissions of the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file are 
technically sound and IMHO undisputable. For the other files it was generally 
assumed that only root needed to modify them, because at the time as #407678 
was reported, the BOINC core client and the BOINC Manager didn't have the 
feature to modify preferences locally. This has changed since then resulting 
that the default permissions of the global_prefs_override.xml file only 
causes problems for users of the BOINC Manager (otherwise #441792 and #458007 
would not have been filed). I agree with you that it is unreasonable that one 
is currently able to shut down connected clients or to attach/detach projects 
using the BOINC Manager but unable to change local preferences with the BOINC 
Manager. I'm currently considering to change the permissions of the 
global_prefs_override.xml file from 0644 to 0664 so that the BOINC core 
client can write to this file.
The permissions for the cc_config.xml file will stay at 0644, because there is 
currently no need for the client to write to this file. If this will change 
and the BOINC Manager will get an interface for modifying cc_config.xml, its  
permissions will probably also be changed to 0664.

 I know that is root that install boinc software, but once done, every
 user can change boinc behaviour; so, adding a note in README.Debian
 would allow the admin to workaround the problem.

Since the boinc-client comes in the default configuration with no password in 
the gui_rpc_auth.cfg file (so everybody on localhost can connect to the 
client) it is more comfortable to have the global_prefs_override.xml file 
writeable by the boinc user. Setting a password or changing the permissions 
of conffiles is easier for system administrators than figuring out why local 
preferences are not saved for normal users. However, adding a note to 
boinc-client's README.Debian how to prevent users from changing local 
preferences is still a good idea.

 A similar issue is for graphics visualization (I would fill a
 separated report, but since we are discussince about authorizations):
 since boinc-client is running as 'boinc' and the X not (since it's
 started by the logged in user) no graphics is displayed by default;
 the used need to explicitly allow boinc to use its X session, and this
 could be a problem for non-experienced users. I'd like to adress this
 problem too.

This will be addressed in BOINC 6, there the graphics application will be 
executed as the user who started the BOINC Manager.

Frank

 To replicate it (that was what I was trying to do):

 2. open Advanced  Preferences
 3. click on Network tab
 4. change Maximum download rate
 5. click OK
 6. re-exec step 2.

 you'll note that the value is not changed.

 I run boincmgr with a different user from the one running boinc client
 (boinc).

I explained in http://bugs.debian.org/441792 why changing local preferences 
with the BOINC Manager is not possible with the default configuration. Could 
you please test if the local preferences are saved after you've changed the 
permission of the /etc/boinc_client/global_prefs_override.xml file?

I've also said in this mail that I'll document this in boinc-manager's or 
boinc-client's README.Debian, but obviously I didn't. :-( To address your
