Re: where is now reiserfs in Debian-testing netinstall?
Quoting Frans Pop (elen...@planet.nl): To use reiserfs with daily images you need to either: - boot in expert mode and select 'partman-reiserfs' as optional component - boot the installer with the option 'modules?=partman-reiserfs' I will send a general announcement of this change soon. As it sounds like a decision that might appear as a general decision of the Debian Project, I wonder if that could appear in the release notes. ReiserFS no longer offerred by default - Because ReiserFS development is stopped upstream, this file system will no longer be offerred as choice for partitions created by the installer, during default installtions. To enable ReiserFS support, users should either: - boot in expert mode and select partman-reiserfs as optional component - boot the installer with the option modules?=partman-reiserfs signature.asc Description: Digital signature

hi folks, unless you object soon, i will suggest the removal of these packages from testing. the rationale is (a mixture of these will apply to the package in question) - old rc bug with no resolution in sight - otherwise buggy - low popcon - not in stable please note that a removal from testing is not really that bad, the package would migrate back in in no time once the rc-bug is fixed! cu robert -- Robert Lemmen http://www.semistable.com signature.asc Description: Digital signature

On Wednesday 24 March 2010, Rick Thomas wrote: So how do we get this fixed? If it really is a problem on the buildd, who *can* fix it? Is there a list somewhere of who is responsible for which buildd? I've already provided that info a few times. For the centralized D-I buildds (which includes powerpc) Luk Claes and Otavio Salvador are the persons who set up the buildds and who are AFAIK the only people who currently have the access required to maintain the buildds. I have seen no mails from them on the d-boot list requesting help with that, so I can only assume they're still willing to maintain them (although the evidence seems to indicate otherwise). If it doesn't get fixed, there's not much point in claiming that Debian supports PowerPC architecture... Bullshit. I agree that it's a huge nuisance for testing and that the daily builds really should be available, but the alpha1 release works just fine (except for the known issues) and a next release will also not have this issue. For testing the current development status of the installer you could always build your own images. It's not that hard. Your point about not supporting powerpc is a gross exaggeration and to be honest I'm getting pretty tired of your repeating that any time *volunteers* don't jump quickly enough to your liking. So far I've also not seen that much actual help with arch-specific D-I development from the Debian powerpc community, despite repeated calls for help from our side.

Bug#575309: user-setup: Should stop adding first user to device access groups
Package: user-setup Version: 1.28 Tags:patch In squeeze, the desktop uses consolekit and friends to grant access to devices for the user in front on the screen. This scale a lot better when there is a lot of users in LDAP or NIS that need to get access to the local devices on their own machine, but not the local devices on other peoples machine. The code in user-setup-apply to add the first user to all the groups in passwd/user-default-groups should no longer be needed. I believe it should be dropped for Squeeze, or at least the default groups used should be trimmed down to nothing. Here is a patch to remove the code.

If it really is a problem on the buildd, who *can* fix it? Is there a list somewhere of who is responsible for which buildd? I've already provided that info a few times. For the centralized D-I buildds (which includes powerpc) Luk Claes and Otavio Salvador are the persons who set up the buildds and who are AFAIK the only people who currently have the access required to maintain the buildds. I have seen no mails from them on the d-boot list requesting help with that, so I can only assume they're still willing to maintain them (although the evidence seems to indicate otherwise). If it doesn't get fixed, there's not much point in claiming that Debian supports PowerPC architecture... Bullshit. I agree that it's a huge nuisance for testing and that the daily builds really should be available, but the alpha1 release works just fine (except for the known issues) and a next release will also not have this issue. For testing the current development status of the installer you could always build your own images. It's not that hard. Your point about not supporting powerpc is a gross exaggeration and to be honest I'm getting pretty tired of your repeating that any time *volunteers* don't jump quickly enough to your liking. So far I've also not seen that much actual help with arch-specific D-I development from the Debian powerpc community, despite repeated calls for help from our side.

However, there are images for powerpc alpha which do work. The images that do not work are from before alpha1 was released. I had a similar problem with the pre alpha builds but my problem was the the network card couldn't be configured. I was not sure whether it couldn't find the drivers for the network card or not only knew that it would not configure the network card and that is where installation would come to a halt. This was fixed with the alpha1 builds. Unfortunately, I cannot help you with sid daily builds because the installation is unable to mount the cdrom driver once the installation starts. However maybe that has changed and will test a sid build and see if it can find the network drivers to install. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

That will only work if you build your own images. If you can do that, great! The fact that the official daily built images (which use the current udebs from Sid) are outdated and therefore not usable is exactly the point of this discussion. The daily built images are normally linked from [1], but I have removed the links for the problematic architectures a few weeks ago for this very reason.

Re: Bug#572605: installation-reports: Sid d-i on PowerPC can not find driver for network interface
Frans Pop elen...@planet.nl (05/03/2010): The problem here is very, very simple: http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/build-logs.html As long as nobody takes care of the daily builds, there's no point in testing them. hppa, ia64, mips, mipsel and powerpc have IMO all proven to be much *less* reliable since they were moved to official buildds. I thought the whole point of that move was the opposite. It would be really nice if the persons who initiated that change would take their responsibility. For now I've removed links to the daily builds for the problematic arches from the D-I project page. I have *zero* idea of the involved amount of work, but I might be interested in helping. I believe getting as much testing as possible is the way to get bugs reported, and fixed. Let's do that. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

On Wednesday 24 March 2010, Petter Reinholdtsen wrote: What about (server) systems that don't have consolekit installed? Yes, what about them? On such systems the first user would be left without expected default access to devices. If the local user to have special privileges, one should install the packages providing such privileges to the local user. There's more way than one to Rome. Group membership is a traditional and still valid way to provide rights. Having packages like consolekit installed is not a requirement. What harm do the current group assignments do? After all, we're only talking about the first user here! It grant local device access to a user that should not have it. The first user should not have local device access, unless that user is logged in locally on the machine console. Why should that user not have it? For the purpose of D-I installations the first user is defined as being the admin and/or console user of the system. If you install systems where the first user does not hold that role, you should disable creation of the first user account during installation, or tune the default groups he's made a member of. I disagree with this proposed change. IMO the default group assignments are in line with the purpose of the first user account.
