Bug#407700: webcalendar: dbi_free_result

 I am tagging this bug report upstream.  It may be that the bug is already
 fixed in the development version of WebCalendar.  Could you please check 
 the CVS version of edit_entry.php [1] to see if this is true, such that we
 can tag this bug report fixed-upstream?  It seems that the calls to
 dbi_query() are replaced by dbi_execute().

Sorry, I forgot the reference:

Bug#391496: webcalendar: timezone shift importing i/vcal

2007-04-19 Thread Rafael Laboissiere
package webcalendar
tags 391496 upstream
thanks

* dann frazier [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-10-06 16:22]:

 Package: webcalendar
 Version: 1.0.4-1.1
 Severity: normal
 
 I've noticed that whenever I try to import a meeting.ics file from an
 MS exchange invite, the start time is offset incorrectly. Attached is
 one such .ics file, w/ sensitive info replaced by the string
 BLACKMAGICMARKER. This invite specifies the eastern timezone:
   DTSTART;TZID=(GMT-05.00) Eastern Time (US  Canada):20061009T15
 
 I am in the mountain timezone, which is two hours behind eastern. The machine
 running webcalendar is in the mountain timezone and is correctly configured to
 use the mountain timezone. I am using webcalendar's default of using the same
 offset as the server.
 
 If I change the above line to:
   DTSTART;TZID=(GMT-05.00) Eastern Time (US  Canada):20061009T13
 
 And then import, the meeting has the correct timezone. Perhaps webcalendar
 isn't able to parse the timezone description in this field?

I am tagging this bug report upstream.  It may be that the bug is already
fixed in the development version of WebCalendar.  Could you please check the
CVS sources to see if this is true, such that we can tag this bug report
fixed-upstream?  It seems that the relevant portions of code are in files
import_handler.php [1] and includes/xcal.php [2].

  Hi,
 
  I'm using webcalendar with sqlite3. I had
 to edit 3 files to have it:
 
 - includes/php-dbi.php
 
 - edit_entry.php # more about this on another ticket(subject: dbi_free_result)
   added dbi_free_result() on lines 149 and 161
 
 - /etc/webcalendar/settings.conf
   db_type = sqlite3
   db_database = /path/to/webcalendar_sqlite.db
   db_persistent = false # php5-sqlite3 don't have persistent connection
   db_sqlite3 =
 
  The user(www-data) of the httpd process must have
 write permission on directory where webcalendar_sqlite.db
 file is in.
 
  Attached you will find the php-dbi.php.gz file.

I am tagging this bug report upstream and patch.  It seems that
WebCalendar 1.1.1 supports SQLite under PHP5 [1].  Should I tag this bug
report fixed-upstream?

* Olafur Jens Sigurdsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-04-17 13:02]:

 I must say that I dont understand this bug report, it doesnt say
 anything specific about what is wrong with the package.
 
 The only problem I have with version 2.9.10 is that it does not
 include the path to the forge functions and that is easely solved by
 issuing addpath(genpath(/usr/share/octave/site/api-v22/m/)) inside
 octave. This is a bug for certain but is this the only thing this bug
 is about?

Well, Octave 2.9.01 has api-v23.  You should also add
/usr/lib/octave/site/oct/api-v22/to the path, but this is almost
guaranteed to fail.  

The soutlion would be to rebuild octave2.9-forge_2006.07.09+dfsg1 against
octave2.9-headers_2.9.10.  It tried it and wasn't successful, however.
The upstream sources would need severe patching and I am not willing (and do
not have time) to do it.

 That's not your job, the php maintainers have to ensure their packages

 installed to work.

I think you missed the point.  There is nothing that the php maintainers can
do to fix the problem above, since they are doing already the right thing.
The problem is related to the lack of power in specifying relationships
among the packages (see my next post in this thread).

  The problem exists already in the the current version of the package.
  Indeed, the following combination satisfy the dependencies:
  
 apache2 installed
 other apaches NOT installed
 libapache-mod-php4 installed 
 libapache2-mod-php4 NOT installed
 
 libapache-mod-php4 depends on apache-common, which in turn depends on
 apache, so that works ok.

I do not see that:

$ apt-cache show apache-common | grep ^Depends:
Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.6-6), libdb4.4, libexpat1 (= 1.95.8), debconf (= 0.5) 
| debconf-2.0, perl (= 5.8.4-2), mime-support, apache2-utils, sed (= 
4.0.5-1), ucf (= 1.06), lynx | www-browser

Am I missing something?

   Maby the headers should be moved up from suggest to depend for the
   octave2.9 package?
 
  Please, fill a bug report against the package, such that your request is
  recorded in the BTS and we do not forget it.

Okay, I am doing it hereby.

 Uh, this will be a circular dependency; release managers will probably tar 
 and 
 feather us for that. 
 
 However, it might make sense to merge the two packages:
 - The size gain is not that much anymore, 30 MB installed for Octave and 3 MB 
 installed for the headers (atlas3-base alone comes with 18 MB on i386, so a 
 serious Octave installation is by no means small).
 
 - It eases usage of the pkg.m system.

I agree with you:

$ apt-cache show octave2.9 | grep ^Size
Size: 7475116
$ apt-cache show octave2.9-headers | grep ^Size
Size: 344298

Merging both packages will result into an increase of only 5% in the size of
octave2.9.

 Well, that's glossing it over a bit - the problem of ORed dependencies
 is not trivial to deal with, and there is no support in apt for it.
 
 Theoretically, these sorts of dependencies could be written with
 brackets or something to make a complete set soultion possible, but it's
 not there just yet.

Is this feature under development?  It would be great to be able to specify
dependencies like the following (note the parentheses):

Depends: ( ( ( apache | apache-ssl | apache-perl, libapache-mod-php4 )
 | ( apache2, libapache2-mod-php4 ),
 php4-mysql | php4-pgsql )
   | ( ( apache | apache-ssl | apache-perl, libapache-mod-php5 )
   | ( apache2, libapache2-mod-php5 ),
   php5-mysql | php5-pgsql ) )

All my problems would then be solved!

 webcalendar forces retention of php4 on the system. Dependencies must be
 adjusted to allow removal of php4 in favor of php5. Upstream shows that it can
 be done.

Thanks for this suggestion, we have already thought about the issue. Another
bug report has been filed requiring php5 support (#393832), so I am merging
both bug reports.

I see a problem with the above dependencies.  Imagine the following
combination of packages in a given system:

apache2 installed
apache, apache-ssl, and apache-perl NOT installed
libapache2-mod-php4 installed
libapache2-mod-php5 NOT installed
php4-mysql, php4-pgsql, and php5-pgsql NOT installed
php5-mysql installed

The above satisfy the dependencies as you wrote them.  The question is:
would php5-mysql work well with libapache2-mod-php4?

At any rate, the problem comes from the orthogonality of the three
dimensions:

   * PHP 4 vs. 5
   * mysql vs. pgsql
   * apache 1 vs. 2

The problem exists already in the the current version of the package.
Indeed, the following combination satisfy the dependencies:

   apache2 installed
   other apaches NOT installed
   libapache-mod-php4 installed 
   libapache2-mod-php4 NOT installed

However, the webcalendar package will not work under these conditions.  

I have no idea how to fix this problem.  Suggestions are welcome.

 I'm not quite clear what this message means.

It was an ITP (Intention To Package) for the Debian distribution.  I sent a
courtesy copy to xmds-devel just to keep you guys informed about it.

 Are you requesting an official release of the uncompiled latex  
 version of the documentation?  We haven;t bothered because no-one has  
 shown the slightest interest, but it would be trivially easy to do.

No, I am not requesting such a release.  The xmds-doc package in Debian

Bug#418529: marked as forwarded (jed: evalfile() no longer supporting ~ in path name)

2007-04-13 Thread Rafael Laboissiere
* John E. Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-04-12 15:15]:

 It was intended.  evalfile is slang's lowest level file loading
 function, and as such it should not tamper with the name passed to it.
 For example, under Unix ~ is a perfectly valid directory name and it
 should be possible to load a file in that directory.  For filename
 expansion, use the expand_filename function.  While not as convenient,
 you can also use evalfile($HOME/foo.sl$);

Should we close this bug report?

 John, could you add this change to the changes.txt? Something like
 
   evalfile() no longer expands its `path' argument. You can use
   evalfile(expand_filename(path)) to get the old behaviour.
   
 After this the bug can be closed.

Bug#418857: dbconfig-common: dpkg/prerm is not failing gracefully

2007-04-12 Thread Rafael Laboissiere
Package: dbconfig-common
Version: 1.8.31
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

While doing a torture test with the webcalendar package some days ago
(install / deinstall / purge / keep the database / install again / etc), I
ran into a problem with dbconfig-common.  For some reason that I cannot
replicate now, the dpkg/prerm script was failing ungracefully.  I tracked
down the problem and fixed it with the patch attached below.  It simply adds
|| true after a call to db_fset.

BTW, I noticed that there are several other calls to db_fset not followed by
|| true in the dbconfig-common scripts.  Although I think that it is a
good safety measure to add || true, I am not sure this is really needed
for db_fset calls.  However, note that the problem arose with the
$dbc_package/dbconfig-remove debconf question, which does not belong to the
dbconfig-common package.

 Package: jed
 Version: 0.99.18-8.etch.4
 Severity: normal
 
 Since I have the same configuration files on several different systems, with
 different $HOME, I have set up my .jedrc to use ~ to refer to a file under
 my home directory:
 
   evalfile(~/skel/jed/joe); pop();
 
 This used to work with the version of Jed in Sarge, but after an upgrade to
 Etch, it fails with
 
   Unable to load /usr/share/jed/lib/~/skel/jed/joe.slc
 
 Changing the evalfile to take the full path works:
 
   evalfile(/home/peter/skel/jed/joe); pop();
 
 But that means having to refer to the actual home directory path on all my
 installations.

I cannot replicate this bug here.  what does the following give for you:

$ cat  /var/tmp/test.sl

I even did not know that.

 This can go into unstable. I think, I can do this during this week.

 I think this is unfortunate since Octave is useful on its own without
 Octave Forge and I think 2.9.10 is much better than 2.9.9.  Also, for
 those who must have some or all of Octave Forge, there is now a way to
 install it using Octave's pkg function.

Hopefully, this will be a temporary situation, until we fix the problem with
the octave2.9-forge package.  Debian 4.0 (a.k.a. etch) was recently released
and contains 2.9.9.  Even if 2.9.10 entered testing, it is too late now for
the regular Debian users who are using the stable distribution.

We are discussing about back porting 2.9.10 (and probably also the new
octave-forge packages) for etch.

Bug#418479: dbconfig-common: Creating DB and user not working for webcalendar

2007-04-09 Thread Rafael Laboissiere
Package: dbconfig-common
Version: 1.8.31
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

I am not sure I am missing something, but I cannot build a webcalendar
package [1] that initializes correctly the MySQL database.  I traced down
the problem and discovered a problem in dpkg/postint: the order of the 
creatadb and createuser commands are reversed.  The patch attached below
fixes the problem for me.

Indeed, I see in internal/mysql:

dbc_mysql_createdb(){
[...]
_dbc_nodb=yes dbc_mysql_exec_command CREATE DATABASE 
$dbc_dbname
[...]

dbc_mysql_createuser(){
[...]
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON \`$dbc_dbname\`.* TO \`$dbc_dbuser\`[...]
[...]

Now, the database $dbc_dbname must be created before the
dbc_mysql_createuser is called, but this is not what dpkg/postinst does.

If this is not a bug, please indicate to me how I can make the webcalendar
package install correctly.

[1] The webcalendar package is being actually co-maintainied in Alioth,
see http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/collab-maint/ext-maint/webcalendar/

Thanks,

Rafael Laboissiere

Bug#418038: php4, php5: Imprecision in package description

2007-04-06 Thread Rafael Laboissiere
Package: php4, php5
Severity: minor

Both php4 and php5 packages have this sentence in their descriptions:

This package is a meta-package that, when installed, guarantees that you
have at least one of the four server-side versions of the PHP{4,5}
interpreter installed.

However, they depend alternatively on only three server-side packages,
namely libapache2-mod-php{4,5}, libapache-mod-php{4,5}, or php{4,5}-cgi.
Which is the fourth one?

Bug#417659: [Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#417659: octave2.9-forge: API version mismatches the octave core

2007-04-05 Thread Rafael Laboissiere
* Hongzheng Wang [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-04-05 23:50]:

 I also notice that the octave-forge provides a pkg mechanism now
 according to their faq and docs.  And, of course, the pkg subsystem is
 not a compatible Debian style.  But I think the new pkg method is not
 compulsory.  I mean, octave-forge may be able to work in a pre-build
 manner.  Thus, it may be possible to provide a matched octave-forge
 package so that it can be used with the current octave core in sid
 (after addpath the oct files and m files of octave-forge).  Well, I'm
 not sure about it; just a guess :-)

Thanks for your suggestions but we already started discussing about this in
the pkg-octave-devel mailing list [1].  This is a quite big project and I
cannot foresee when it will be done.

Bad news: the current octave2.9-forge package does not work well with
octave2.9 and this will take some time to fix.  It is too bad that I
uploaded 2.9.10 to unstable before checking this.  The current Octave-Forge
packages are intended to be installed in the user's system through the new

What should we do now?  Deprecate octave2.9-forge or fix it by backporting
the code obtained from CVS ?  A third solution would be to start working
immediately on the new pkg2deb package.

I reviewed your changes in CVS.  Unfortunately, the scripts do not work for

octave2.9:2 doc

a gnuclient window pops up but no info file is loaded.  Instead, a bunch of
buffers are created, as seen in the output of C-x C-b:

 MR Buffer   Size  Mode File

Using this instead (as in my original patch):

fixes the problem.

* Pascal A. Dupuis [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-03-24 12:05]:

 Package: octave2.9-emacsen
 Severity: normal
 Tags: patch

 [snip]

 May I also ask for the use of update-alternatives to use the right 
 versions of octave-inf and co ? There are indeed three sources:
 emacs21-el_21.4a+1-3_all.deb
 octave2.9-emacsen_2.9.9-8etch1_all.deb
 octave2.1-emacsen

Although it is not very desirable to have many versions of octave-*.el
around, I do not really think that it is a real bug or, at least, that it
should be fixed.  Here is my rationale:

First, implementing an update-alternatives mechanism for these files is
quite complicated, because of the specifics of Emacsen initialization in
Debian.  I do not think that we could do it for the files in
/etc/emacs/site-stard.d/ (they are configuration files, after all).  Even
worse, it would not help to set alternatives to the *.el files, since the
*.elc files are compiled at install time.

Second, the order of priority of the three packages providing Octave support
for Emacsen is currently the following:

1) octave2.9-emacsen
2) octave2.1-emacsen
3) emacs21-el

The octave2.*-emacsen packages contains the ultimate Emacs Lisp source files
for the Octave support, meaning that they are preferable than the ones in
emacs21-el.  Also, the files in octave2.1-emacsen are not newer than the
ones in octave2.9-emacsen.  So, the priority order above is fortunate
(although it was not designed to be so).

I will let this bug report open for now, but will close it in the near
future unless it is proven that this is a real bug.

 Package: octave2.9-emacsen
 Severity: normal
 
 Also, the content of octave-help-files is set to (octave), it should 
 be set to (octave2.9), the following solve it in .emacs:
 (defvar octave-help-files '(octave2.9)
   List of info files with documentation for Octave.
Our default is (\octave2.9\).)

I am not sure we should fix this.  The /usr/share/info/octave.info.gz file
is already managed by upadte-alternatives.

 (autoload 'octave-help octave-hlp nil t)

This is already in /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50octave2.*-emacsen.el.

 (load gnuserv-compat)
 (load-library gnuserv)
 (gnuserv-start) 

 To have this to work, 'gnuserv' is thus a dependency.

Are you suggesting that the code above (or a variant of it) should be added
to the initialization file?  Adding a dependency to gnuserv and forcing its
loading does not seem to be a good idea to me.

In sum, the points above do not justify a real bug report, hence the
moreinfo tag.  As usual, this bug report will be closed in a reasonable
time frame if there is no better argumentation for it.

Thanks,

Bug#416046: [Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#416046: octave2.9: pathdef doesn't include dir with info-emacs-info and info-emacs-octave-help

 Package: octave2.9
 Severity: normal
 
 Hello,
 while trying to understand why the info mode didn't work as expected in 
 octave2.9 running under emacs, I found that the required programs 
 (shell scripts calling gnudoit), info-emacs-info   info-emacs-octave-help, 
 are placed under 
 /usr/lib/octave/2.9.9/exec/i486-pc-linux-gnu
 
 This dir does not appear in pathdef, so both functions are unknown. 
 Could you please solve it ?

I am puzzled by this bug report.  The path returned by pathdef() is used
only for finding *.m and *.oct files and not the executables in
/usr/lib/octave/version/exec/arch.  BTW, the following works perfectly
for me:

$ sudo apt-get install emacs21 gnuserv octave2.9 octave2.9-info
$ emacs -eval (gnuserv-start) 
$ octave2.9
octave2.9:1 info_program (info-emacs-info)
octave2.9:2 doc

I see then the info directory in my emacs frame.  Does this work for you?

I may have misunderstood your problem.  At any rate, I am tagging this bug
report moreinfo, meaning that if we do not receive further informations in
a reasonable time frame I will close this bug report.

I am filing this bug report in the behalf of Pascal A. Dupuis, because the
original bug report (#416048) concerned actually two unrelated bugs.  The

 I am only lurking and don't have a particularly strong opinion about
 this, but recommends seems to make more sense to me.
 
 Even running a batch job from a terminal it is still usually desirable
 for the plot function to work correctly. For example, the following
 should create a file sin.ps whether or not it is executed from a
 graphics-capable terminal:
 
 echo t=[0:0.1:10]'; x=sin(t); plot(t,x); print -depsc2 \sin.ps\\

Thanks for your opinion.  Let us collect some more votes before deciding to

  Now, don't you think that would be nice that this function actually

 Hmm, I indeed misread this. The Debian package specifically patches this
 function to change it (I was looking at the source package file); I'm
 quite unsure why. It should be investigated and possibly fixed indeed.

I looked at debian/patches/01_config_patch.dpatch.  The comment in its
header says:

## DP: Fixes a problem with showing error messages (like invalid logins)
## and adds support for reading settings.conf

Most of the patch concerns the second phrase (adds support for reading
settings.conf).  The first phrase (problem with showing error messages)
regards this part of the patch:

which is the object of the present bug report.  However, I cannot understand
which problem the changes above are trying to fix.  Later in the same patch,
there is code like this:

 foreach ( array ( db_type, db_host, db_login, db_password) as $s ) {
   if ( empty ( $settings[$s] ) ) {
 die_miserable_death ( Could not find tt$s/tt defined in  .
-  your ttsettings.php/tt file.\n);
+  your tt$WC_CONFIG_FILE/tt file.\n);
   }
 }

If the patch itself is changing the argument of die_miserable_death, why
would it be ignored with the first change set?  That makes no sense and is
probably an unintentional change.  Unfortunately, I could not find a comment
about this patch in debian/changelog.  Is Tim Peeler (the author of the
patch) still active?
 
I would strongly suggest to use the patch attached below instead.

 You can use the attached one, then simply press d followed by y.
 Note that the record actually gets deleted.

Thanks.  I can replicate the bug with your file as well as with any other
vcf file that contains a single record.  This is a bug in the program and I
found a one-line patch that reliably fixes it.

However, in your case, this bug is interfering with #415736, because your
adac.vcf is not correctly recognized by rolo due to the quoted-printable
character encoding.  Even if the record is duplicated with a text editor
(see attached file), rolo still only finds a single record in the file.
Notice that when the vcf file contains a regular record before the
problematic one, then rolo recognizes the two records and it is possible to
delete any of them without segfaulting (see adac2.vcf attached below).

At any rate, I have to check whether your file is a valid VCard.  Not
recognizing the quoted-printable character encoding may be a limitation of
rolo.

Bug#415780: octave2.1: Please upgrade gnuplot dependency from suggests: to recommends:

2007-03-21 Thread Rafael Laboissiere
* Jordi Gutierrez Hermoso [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-03-21 15:59]:

 Seeing how gnuplot is the default plotting engine in Octave and the one
 that the Octave team works with the most, I think its priority as an
 octave dependence should be upgraded from suggests: to recommends:. I
 was quite surprised to see today that aptitude installed octave but that
 it didn't pull in gnuplot.

I am not sure I agree with you.  Although I understand your arguments,
remember that Octave can be used without any graphical interface. To give
you an example, I use Octave mainly to process data in batches.  I do my
serious graphics for publications with other software (namely R).  Of
course, YMMV.

I would like to hear the opinion of people lurking at the pkg-octave-devel

there is a consensus that Suggests: should be upgraded to Recommends:, I
will gladly do the change.

 Yes, although my dvips is from a different package from yours:

 I seem to have the same dvips as yours:

 My dvips seems to be from the dvipsk-ja package,
 while the other one is from the tetex-bin package.

I tried with dvipsk-ja installed here and I cannot replicate the bug.

I am just curious: in the examples above, are you using the same mydoc.tex
you reported before?  Why is not tipa10.pfb getting included in the PS
file?

 |  Why is not tipa10.pfb getting included in the PS
 | file?
 
 I wish I knew. . . . I don't know if I'm answering your question,
 but the generated PS file contains a tipa10 bitmap:
 
 
 %DVIPSBitmapFont: Fa tipa10 10 3
 /Fa 3 115 df003FC1FFF80007C07E000E001F001C000F80380007E073E060
 [ . . . snip . . .]
 %EndDVIPSBitmapFont
 

I obtain a different result:

$ grep tipa mydoc.ps
%%DocumentFonts: CMR10 TeX-tipa10
%%BeginFont: TeX-tipa10
%!PS-AdobeFont-1.0: TeX-tipa10 001.001
/FamilyName (TeX\040tipa10) def
/FullName (TeX\040tipa10\040Regular) def
/FontName /TeX-tipa10 def
@start /Fa 141[33 1[46 47[37 64[{}3 83.022 /TeX-tipa10

It seems that, in my system, the tipa10.pfb is actually included in the PS
file (cf the %!PS-AdobeFont-1.0 header above).  In your case, it seems that
regular bitmapped PK font has been included.

 The generated PDF file (by ps2pdf) also seems to contain it:
 
 
 $ pdffonts mydoc.pdf
 name type emb sub uni object ID
   --- --- --- -
 SXUDLP+CMR10 Type 1C  yes yes no   9  0
 [none]   Type 3   yes no  yes 10  0
 $   
 
 
 Adobe Acrobat says that mydoc.pdf contains a font named
 a font called T3Font_O besides CMR10 (embedded).

Again, I get different results:

$ pdffonts mydoc.pdf
name type emb sub uni object ID
  --- --- --- -
OTJKZH+CMR10 Type 1C  yes yes no  11  0
ISKIZW+TeX-tipa12Type 1C  yes yes no   9  0

 So, it seems that how tipa fonts are handled is somehow different
 on my system than on yours, right?  Do you have any idea on
 where to look?  vflib2 ?

We should try to understand why in my system the *.pfb files are used, while
they are ignored in yours.  I have no clue where to start looking.

* Ryo Furue [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-03-18 23:13]:

 Package: tipa
 Version: 2:1.3-4
 Severity: normal
 
 Hi
 
 When I try to convert a DVI file using dvipdf, this happens:
 
   $ latex mydoc.tex
   . . . .
   $ dvipdf mydoc.dvi
   dvips: Font tipa10 at 8000 not found; scaling 600 instead.
   dvips: Such scaling will generate extremely poor output.
   $
 
 The resulting PDF looks OK, though.  If I generate a PDF file,
 via a PostScript file, then I don't see any error:
 
   $ dvips  mydoc.dvi
   $ ps2pdf mydoc.ps
   $
 
 In case the following information is relevent:
 My dvipdf comes from the gs-common package and my /usr/bin/gs
 points to /usr/bin/gs-esp .
 
 %--- mydoc.tex: source LaTeX file --
 \documentclass{article}
 \usepackage{tipa}
 \begin{document}
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 \end{document}
 %--- end of source ---

I cannot reproduce this bug at all in my sid chroot here.  I suspect that
the problem is due to some TeX configuration on your system, and does not
really come from the tipa package.

The error message issued by dvipdf (actually dvips) above typically occurs
when the font cannot be generated by some tool in the build chain, like
metafont.  However, since the tipa*.pfb files are present in the package,
those files get included by dvips.  Indeed:

$ dvips mydoc.dvi -o mydoc.ps
This is dvips(k) 5.95a Copyright 2005 Radical Eye Software (www.radicaleye.com)
'TeX output 2007.03.20:0047'- mydoc.dvi
tex.protexps.pro. tipa10.pfbcmr10.pfb[1]

Do you get the same as above in your system?

I tagged this bug moreinfo, meaning that if I do not receive further
information in a reasonable time frame (say, one month from now) allowing to
reproduce the bug reliably, this bug report will be closed.

Anyway, thanks for your bug report.

 I think i've addressed all these concerns now.  i've published 3.01-2
 into my apt repository, for your examination.  My powerpc build
 machine is down right now, so 3.01-2 is only published for arm and
 i386 at the moment.

I checked the package and I think that 3.01-2 has release quality.  If you

 Good call.  i've created tweak-wrapper as a variant of your

 since i don't think it warrants its own man page.

You might implement a full debhelper solution by using dh_install and
dh_links in conjunction with debian/install and debian/links (files
attached below).  There is an advantage in doing this: if one day you decide
to switch to CDBS, then you could use an almost trivial debian/rules file,
like the one attached below.

  * Makefile:
+ [snip] In the meanwhile, you have two options:
  1) Use a patch management system (such as dpatch, quilt, or CDBS'
 simple-patchsys; I prefer the later because I am a CDBS adept).
  2) Call make with the appropriate PREFIX and MANDIR settings in the
 command line
 
 i've gone with option 2, since it seems like the simplest approach for
 a tool that doesn't need patching otherwise.

The variable DESTDIR is set in the command line, but does not appear in
Makefile.  You might drop this.

+ Most of the *.c files, as well as the *.but and *.h files are lacking
  copyright notice and licensing terms.  We can assume that they are the
  same as in LICENCE, but the Debian standards require that every file
  must have those.  Your package may be rejected due to that.  Please,
  ask the upstream author to fix this.
 
 I spoke with Simon about this via e-mail, and he's understandably
 reluctant to make changes to 13 files in a relatively small package to
 satisfy a potentially theoretical concern, especially when LICENCE
 seems pretty clear-cut.

I tend to agree with the author and I hope that the ftp-master admin will
not see a problem.  We could assume here a principle of least effort (or
whatever), meaning that if a file is lacking the licensing terms, then the
ones in LICENCE apply to it.

 Can you give me a reference to policy which states that *every* file must
 include a copyright notice and licensing information?

Look, for instance, at the text of the GPL, around this excerpt:

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
[snip]
To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
copyright line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
   
 I made one other change: i included Simon's generated btree.html in
 docs/, since it seems relevant, small, and unobtrusive.

Good idea.  A debian/doc-base entry for it would be useful (see file
attached below).

 I did this, but the .changes file doesn't get published to the apt
 repository via reprepro, afaict.  Do you want me to send it on
 separately?  Or is it published in some obscure way by reprepro that
 i'm missing?

AFAICT, *.changes files do no appear in APT repositories.  They are only
used when uploading package and appear in debian-devel-changes.  Anyway, I
do not need your .changes file, since I always build sponsoree packages
before uploading.

One last thing: I was confused when I asked you to add my name to the
Uploaders list.  I am just sponsoring the package and am not co-maintaining
it.  Please, remove that in a future release of the package.

Bug#414844: Acknowledgement (ITP: tweak -- an efficient hex editor)

2007-03-14 Thread Rafael Laboissiere
* Daniel Kahn Gillmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-03-14 00:17]:

 OK, i've packaged tweak version 3.01 now.
 
 I've published binary packages for i386, arm, and powerpc (and of
 course the source as well).  They work for me on both etch and sid.
 The packages are in an apt repository located at:
 
   http://lair.fifthhorseman.net/~dkg/src/tweak/apt
 
 The repositories are signed by my GPG key, which is on the pgp.mit.edu
 and subkeys.pgp.net keyservers:
 
  ID: A54B6365
  fingerprint: B599 41F7 41EA EAF8 726F  45D8 8974 E514 A54B 6365
 
 As i'm not a debian developer, i'm going to need a sponsor for these
 packages.  I welcome feedback on the packaging from anyone, whether
 you're willing to consider sponsoring or not.

Okay, since I already sponsored a package from you, I am ready to do it
again for this one.  I will give you a feedback on the tweak package soon.

BTW, the ttf-fifthhorseman-dkg-handwriting package is still roting at the
NEW queue, although it should be out soon, since it is at the top of the
list.

Cheers,

Bug#414844: Acknowledgement (ITP: tweak -- an efficient hex editor)

2007-03-14 Thread Rafael Laboissiere
Daniel,

The package builds fine and is in a good shape.  Thanks for your work.  Here
are some (mostly minor) comments/suggestions:

* debian/rules:
  + Remove commented lines with dh_* commands
  + Add proper header with copyright notice and license terms

* debian/control:
  + Put my name and email address in the Uploaders field
  + Drop ${misc:Depends} from Depends
  + Reference the upstream website according to the guidelines in section
6.2.4 of the Debian Developer's Reference [1].  Also, although it is
nice to put the name of the upstream author in the Description, this is
not a common practice in Debian.

* debian/menu:
  + This file is useless without a call to dh_installmenu in debian/rules
  + At any rate, the menu entry does not work, because tweak needs a file
name as argument.  You might add a tweak-wrapper script to the package
(example attached below) and update the debian/menu file accordingly.
  
* debian/dirs:
  + This file seems to be useless.  Remove it.

* Makefile:
  + You seem to have patched the upstream Makefile and the differences
appear in the diff.gz file.  Doing this is highly discouraged, because
updating to a subsequent version is error prone.  You should try to get
your patch (or a variant of it) applied upstream.  In the meanwhile, you
have two options:
1) Use a patch management system (such as dpatch, quilt, or CDBS'
   simple-patchsys; I prefer the later because I am a CDBS adept).
2) Call make with the appropriate PREFIX and MANDIR settings in the
   command line

* LICENCE:
  + Are the contents of this file some standard boilerplate?  The licensing
conditions look DFSG-compliant, but you might ask in debian-legal, just
to be sure.
  + Most of the *.c files, as well as the *.but and *.h files are lacking
copyright notice and licensing terms.  We can assume that they are the
same as in LICENCE, but the Debian standards require that every file
must have those.  Your package may be rejected due to that.  Please, ask
the upstream author to fix this.


If you generate a new version of the package, you could give it the version
number 3.01-2 and run debuild -sa -v3.01-0, such that both the orig.tar.gz
file name and the appropriate Closes: header appear in the *.changes file.

 the license appears to be identical (save for linebreaks and
 identification of author/copyright holder) as the SPI/debian section
 in /usr/share/doc/xorg/copyright.

 Thanks for the quick response. If you do require a suggestion, I'd say
 unstable. :-)

Thanks for the suggestion.  I have also a preference for unstable, however,
if we need to update the package for testing in the future, we will lose the
unstable path (the preferred one by the release team) and we will have to
upload to testing-proposed-updates.

 I don't understand what the problem is getting the new version into

 release team to go to testing, but it being blocked by the RC bug
 (#411863).  There is no reason to believe that this bug doesn't affect
 testing, so you should probably mark it as such.

You are right, I was confused.  I forgot that we asked for unblocking

2007-02-22 Thread Rafael Laboissiere
* Rafael Laboissiere [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2007-02-21 22:46]:

 Although this bug does not concern the versions of the packages now in
 testing (octave2.9_2.9.9-7 and octave2.9-forge_2006.07.09+dfsg1-7), I
 understand that it would be good to have the version in testing also fixed.
 
  So either we fix the tests and ask debian-release for a new version of
  both octave2.9 and octave2.9-forge  or we disable them and try to get
  octave2.9-forge in its current state into Etch. 
 
 Alternatively, we could let things as they are now.  After all, the packages
 in testing are not affected.
 
 At any rate, if we really want this bug fixed in testing, we would maximize
 the odds of having octave2.9 accepted by applyin both patches
 50_correct_test and 50_parse-inline-brackets to 2.9.9-7 and asking the
 release managers to consider unblocking the resulting 2.2.9-7etch1 version.

In the above and in other messages I meant 2.9.9-6 (not 2.9.9-7) as the
version in testing.  Sorry for the confusion.

In preparation for the 2.9.9-6etch1 release, I created a branch for
octave2.9/etch in the SVN repository.  Caveat: this branch is not yet fully
tested.

 python-glpk seems to be a decent set of python bindings to glpk.
 
 It would be helpful to add it to the debian glpk package.

However, we think that adding extra code to the glpk source package is not
appropriate.  Actually, python-glpk should be packaged separately.  we are
then reassigning this bug report to wnpp and transforming it into an RFP.

 This is a bug in the way octave2.9-forge creates its test files (they
 are simply not valid). However, fixing this turned up a bug in Octave
 2.9. This bug is nasty, as it eats all memory during octave2.9-forge's
 unit tests. I guess buildd admins won't like that too much. Fortunately,
 it's already fixed upstream and a small patch suffices.

Although this bug does not concern the versions of the packages now in
testing (octave2.9_2.9.9-7 and octave2.9-forge_2006.07.09+dfsg1-7), I
understand that it would be good to have the version in testing also fixed.

 So either we fix the tests and ask debian-release for a new version of
 both octave2.9 and octave2.9-forge  or we disable them and try to get
 octave2.9-forge in its current state into Etch. 

Alternatively, we could let things as they are now.  After all, the packages
in testing are not affected.

At any rate, if we really want this bug fixed in testing, we would maximize
the odds of having octave2.9 accepted by applyin both patches
50_correct_test and 50_parse-inline-brackets to 2.9.9-7 and asking the
release managers to consider unblocking the resulting 2.2.9-7etch1 version.

Bug#363514: glpk should be compiled with -D_GLPLIB_HUGEMEM on AMD64

2007-02-21 Thread Rafael Laboissiere
package glpk
tags 363514 moreinfo
thanks

* James Andrewartha [EMAIL PROTECTED] [2006-04-19 22:55]:

 Package: glpk
 Version: 4.9-1
 Severity: important
 
 When compiled on platforms where sizeof(void *)  sizeof(int), which
 includes AMD64, glpk should be compiled with -D_GLPLIB_HUGEMEM to allow
 allocating more than 2GB (MAX_INT). See the GLPK 4.5 changelog and
 http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.glpk/1017.

The GLPLIB_HUGEMEM (or GLP_HUGE_MEM) preprocessor macro disappeared in GLPK
4.14.  Also, the functions umalloc, ucalloc and ufree are made obsolete in
this version.

Perhaps the argument behind this bug report became moot.  Could you please
check if the packages in [1] are okay in your 64-bit system?  The packages
were uploaded to experimental and are waiting in the NEW queue for ftp-admin
approval. 

[Cc: to Andrew Makhorin, just in case he has something to say about this.]

 libmtp is in the NEW queue: http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html

I put the packages in http://people.debian.org/~rafael/libmtp/

 When will be in sid? Ask ftpmasters ;)

Save you the stress of asking something and never getting an answer.  The
ftp-master e-mail address is almost a black hole (Ana: I saw the smile
above...)

Anyway, processing of the NEW queue is lagging behind for one month now.  At
the current rate, I would say that libmtp will be in Debian no sooner than
in three weeks (if there are no problems with the package like licensing
issues, of course)

 Package: xemacs21
 Version: 21.4.19-2
 Severity: minor
 
 There is garbage on the screen in dired mode. Occasionally I get one or
 several copies of the following message in the beginning or the middle
 of a dired fuffer:
 
 //DIRED-OPTIONS// --quoting-style=literal
 
 Also, at the end of the buffer I get a long line like this:
 //DIRED// 62 63 112 114 163 172 221 234 283 289 338 349 398 406 455...

This bug has been already reported as #399483 (hence the merge command
above).  Actually, this problem occurs in the xemacs21-basesupport package,
not in xemacs21 (hence the reassign and retitle commands above).

The changes proposed by Peter Chubb in his report seem to work correctly.
Therefore, I took the liberty of producing an appropriate dpatch (attached
below) for the the xemacs21-packages source package (hence the patch tag).
Now, the maintainer has no excuse to delaying the fix for the bug ;-)

In waiting for the fixed package, I have added the following code to my
~/.emacs:

(add-hook 'dired-load-hook
  (lambda ()
(set-variable 'dired-use-ls-dired
  (and (string-match gnu system-configuration)
   ;; Only supported for XEmacs = 21.5 and GNU Emacs = 21.4 (I think)
   (if (featurep 'xemacs)
   (and
(fboundp 'emacs-version=)
(emacs-version= 21 5))
 (and (boundp 'emacs-major-version)
  (boundp 'emacs-minor-version)

Bug#410659: ITP: rolo -- text-based (vCard) contact management software

2007-02-12 Thread Rafael Laboissiere
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Rafael Laboissiere [EMAIL PROTECTED]


* Package name: rolo
  Version : 011
  Upstream Author : Andrew Hsu [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://rolo.sourceforge.net/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : text-based (vCard) contact management software

Rolo keeps track of your contacts and display them to you with a
text-based menu. Rolo strives to be a well-constructed tool for
complimenting text-based email programs-such as mutt. It utilizes the
vCard version 3.0 format for storing its contacts and it interfaces with
the end-user through a NCurses front-end.

This package depends on libvc0, which will also be packaged by me (ITP coming
soon).  Pre-packages are available at http://people.debian.org/~rafael/rolo/.
Suggestions for improvements are welcome.

Bug#410658: ITP: libvc -- a vCard (the Electronic Business Card) library

2007-02-12 Thread Rafael Laboissiere
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Rafael Laboissiere [EMAIL PROTECTED]

  Version : 003
  Upstream Author : Andrew Hsu [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://www.example.org/
* License : LGPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : vCard (the Electronic Business Card) library

vCard is an Electronic Business Card format, as specified by the versit
Consortium, useful for storing personal data.  libvc handles scanning a
vCard file, parsing the vCard file into a data storage structure,
manipulating the data storage structure, and writing back to file.  It was
originally written for `rolo', but has been split-off as a generic library
for general use. 

Pre-packages are available at http://people.debian.org/~rafael/rolo/.
Suggestions for improvements are welcome.

I am aware of libvformat1, which is similar to libvc.  I am packaging libvc
as pre-requisites to rolo and mutt-vc-query (see my recent ITPs).
