IIUC, these fields are (can be) automatically filled by intltool, using the translations in PO files. So for translators the whole process is transparent, they only need to deal with PO files. > I suppose that big projects like KDE and GNOME have setup their own > l10n infrastructure to localize these, but allowing the same to happen > with other .desktop files would be an interesting enhancement. The tool is there, it's just up to the individual software writer if he/she wants to set up the infrastructure for translating desktop file.

package name changes in atlas-cpp (was Re: library renaming due to changed libstdc++ configuration)

I noticed that atlas-cpp with renamed library packages has been uploaded, and it renames the binary packages as follows: libatlas-cpp-0.6-0 => libatlas-cpp-0.6-0c2 libatlas-cpp-0.6-0-dbg => libatlas-cpp-0.6-0c2-dbg I have two questions for this: 1. Should -dbg packages be renamed or not? 2. Shouldn't the suffix be c2a in this case? This also has the consequence of having different binary package names than Ubuntu (Ubuntu only renamed libatlas-cpp-0.6-0 to libatlas-cpp-0.6-0c2a, didn't rename -dbg package), Ubuntu MOTU cc:ed.

Re: PAM messages on chrooted console
Thanks everyone for your kind help! Since I am setting this chroot environment as an experimental area (maybe I'll install sid there), security is not a big concern. Therefore I used Andreas' solution: modify /etc/init.d/sysklogd to SYSLOGD='/var/chroot/dev/log' and restart syslogd. I am going to look into the --bind option of mount. Ming 2003.05.31
PAM messages on chrooted console
I sent this to debian-user yesterday, but received no reply. Since developers are more likely to use chroot, I am sending this to debian-devel again. Apology to those who get duplicates. Hi, I am trying to run a chroot on my woody machine (so that I can try sid later). I set up the chroot environment according to Debian Reference: woody# apt-get install debootstrap woody# debootstrap woody /var/chroot http://... woody# mount -t proc proc /var/chroot/proc woody# cp /etc/hosts /var/chroot/etc/hosts woody# chroot /var/chroot /bin/bash chroot# base-config Then I configured /etc/inittab to make tty6 a chroot login: 6:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/chroot /var/chroot /sbin/getty 38400 After restarting init my tty6 works, however I keep getting PAM messages on my console such as: PAM_unix[19031]: (login) session opened for user minghua by minghua(uid=0) I noticed such messages go to /var/log/auth.log in my stardard installation, however this log in chroot (/var/chroot/var/log/auth.log) is existent but empty. I also looked at my /var/chroot/etc/syslog.conf, but it is identical to /etc/syslog.conf. I searched around but didn't find much useful. Would anybody please tell me how to redirect these PAM messages to log file? Is there any documentation I am missing? Please CC the reply to me. Thanks in advance, Ming 2003.05.29 P.S.: Is /var/chroot a good place (it is a separate partition)? There seems to be no recommendation anywhere. What places do other people use?
