amd64 port plans for the squeeze cycle

2009-08-16 Thread Marc Brockschmidt
Heya,

As announced on dda [RT1], we want to get an impression when releasing
Squeeze is feasible. We have proposed a (quite ambitious) freeze in December
2009, and some developers have noted that their planned changes wouldn't be
possible in this time frame. So, to find out when releasing would work for
most people, it would be great if you could answer the following questions:

Do you have any big changes planned? How much time would they take, and
what consequences are there for the rest of the project?

How many "big" transitions will the upcoming changes cause? When should those
happen? Can we do something to make them easier?

Thanks,
Marc

Re: Re: ia32-apt-get and dependencies errors

I think, if people wish for it, then ftp-master should be asked to put it back 
again. However, I underrstand, it might cause trouble (as other packages might 
cause, too!), but this is the kind of "experimental"! or "unstable", just as 
its name is expressing.

I understand well, there are efforts to chose other ways, so ia32-apt-get 
should not block the other ways. Well, which one will win at last will show 
the future. IMO ia32-apt-get is a good way at the moment, and I think, even 
Goswin would not mourne if some day a better way will be found and ia32-apt-
get will disappear. The future will show us.

As far as i understood the policies of debian, there are rules to get a 
package into the official repository. If ia32-apt-get does not break those 
rules, I see no reason, why to put this software into the repository. All 
software is free, and every software should be handled even. True 
democracie

Well, I suggest, to handle ia32-apt-get just as other software in debian.

Another for way testing might be, to use an own repository, besides the debian 
official ones. IMO this is the worse way, because it might be worse to maintain 
(dependencies and so on).

These are my thoughts about it, feel free to comment it.

Cheers

Hans

P.S. As you may have remarked: I hate everything, which is deminuishing 
freedom! Sorry for that!

Re: How can I set going more one Tor daemons?

Why?

To torify web browsing, all you have to do is install an add-on to  
firefox.


If you like to share some bandwidth to the tor community, install one  
tor daemon on your internet connection.


A nice combination is a squid server in your local net and link the  
squid to a tor daemon on the same machine. I've set up a cascade with  
tor to privoxy to havp to squid. And if I choose the squid proxy,  
it's routed through through the cascade and leaves through tor. On  
every machine and browser that's configured to use the proxy.


So why would you like to run one tor deamon for every user on one  
machine when one daemon for all users of your local net will do?


As tor is a daemon, why would someone like to start one for every  
user? You don't start a nfs server or a sshd server for every user?


A little bit puzzled.

Ralf
