No doubt most of you have seen the NSA's secure linux posting
on Slashdot this morning.
Looking at:

there appears to be several utilities that have been updated
to provide enhanced security.

This is a stupid question, but I've never figured it out:
Is there a way to restart a build of a package *AND* still
be able to generate the source tarball and diff?
I've tried the -nc option to dpkg-buildpackage, but it always
omits the orig.tar.gz.

I need to work with Gwydion Dylan, and noticed we don't currently
have a package for it.
I vaguely remember someone talking about it long ago, but don't
remember what became of it.
I intend to package this Dylan implementation unless someone else
is already doing so. I don't see any mention in

Can anyone comment on why Linux would be unsuitable for firewall use
in this configuration?
Can you explain what an `active' packet is?
That's my question as well. I can't find any reference to an active

Or is
Can anyone refresh my memory as to the legality of encryption-enabled builds
of software inside the U.S. Did we (like Kernel.org) decide it was okay to
host this in U.S.-based servers, or are we still recommending
that members of the free world do such builds?
If the answer is to not build

The Mozilla M14 readme clearly states that the M13 preferences

the preferences automatically or similar, but I view this as
a fix for a temporary problem and not worth implementing for
Debian.

2.2. diald/ppp in slink does not work with 2.2.0-pre7 (on my box, at
least). I am sure that there are other things as well.
I'm sure you were aware that you have to upgrade your pppd to work with any
of the higher-order 2.1.X kernels? You might want to check the kernel
source's
It's Changes and yes I have read it:
master:/home/wind# pppd -v
pppd: unrecognized option '-v'
pppd version 2.3 patch level 5
The issue being that there IS a problem - e.g. are we going to provide
ppp1 and ppp2? That sounds like trouble to me.
Real Question (not a snipe): Is there
I say let's make the 2.2 image a high-profile aspect of slink's release. The kernel is very stable, and I've been running my Debian system on it since 2.1.120. Plus, it would be a great technical feature of our distribution that might give us some bragging rights over the other distros.
I think we should include it, as a service to people who don't want to
download the whole thing, but attach a note saying As 2.2 was
released just before we released slink, we are including it, but there
may be problems, it might eat your computer... we are not responsible
for anything
I'd like to chime in --
It's a real annoyance that the base disks don't set up lilo to let you
boot into multiple operating systems. Couldn't it ask if you want to
dual-boot with windows, or whatever, and generate an appropriate lilo.conf
file?
This is an area where RedHat has a significant
