Bug#295416: [Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#295416: Deleting a user group in userdel should only be done if the group is empty

2005-05-01 Thread Christian Perrier
tags 295416 upstream
retitle 295416 userdel should not remove the user's primary group is it has 
other members
thanks


 Probably we should consider the following functional
 split between adduser/deluser (i.e. high-level) and
 useradd/userdel (low-level) tools:

The most important split, imho, is that useradd/userdel and other
low-level utilities are potentially shared among several Unices and
Linux distros.

So, as Marc mentioned, care should be taken to keep them behave
consistently among these.

For me, this forbids us (Debian maintainers) to patch them in any way
to make their behaviour different in Debian.

But, we should also remember that we work with upstream, so we're
likely to influence a change in the design.

   I mean that useradd/userdell should only preserve
   integrity of /etc/passwd, shadow, group, gshadow and
   other most necessary files.


I mostly agree here. 


 The same I state in bug #264879, although rather
 implicitly.
 
 P.S. please, keep in mind that bug #295416 is not about
 deleting group which has other members in it.
 The bug is about userdel removing group which is
 _primary_ for someone else (not having other _members_).


Not exactly. This is about userdel *always* deleting the primary group
of the user it deletes, no matter whether this group is used by
another user.

From your statement above (userdel should guarantee the integrity of
system files), such behaviour should *not* happen. userdel should
only delete the primary group of the user *only* if it has no other
members.

So, in my opinion, this bug is still an upstream bug. An I tag it
accordingly (which I forgot to do, though it is marked as forwarded)

I also give it a better title.

Bug#306936: debian-reference: A nice backup system

2005-05-01 Thread Osamu Aoki
Thank you for your suggestion.

Few questions and my thoughts on your suggestion below.
 * Did you read my backup script in the examples?
 * Did you realize afio's advantage over tar.gz when backup file is
   corrupted?

Since sarge is near release, let me limit changes to the document while
including your idea.

On Fri, Apr 29, 2005 at 08:23:13AM -0600, Sam George wrote:
...
 This document is about creating such a system and is meant for
 inclusion in debian-reference.  It uses regular gnu tar rather than
 pdumpfs or subversion.  I've looked at many of the 'backup utilities'
 but these systems have thus far proved too complicated for me or not
 flexible enough to fill my needs.  

Yes.

...
 This is still a bit of a work in progress, so feel free to ask for
 changes.  This system is for people for whom all those CD/DVD based
 systems would be too time consuming (and expensive) [600GB ~= 1000CDs]
 and can't afford a tape based system.  But do have an old system lying
 around and some extra hard disks (or could afford the one-time expense
 of some new disks.)  :) I reserve the right to turn this entirely
 into a doc about using a pre-canned backup system if I can find one
 that fits my needs. :)  Maybe rsync...

If you use rsync, please consider using SSH as RSH command :-)

...
 
 * moving files
 
 [8.3 additions   First some stuff that could be added to section 8.3 .
 Note that I use `tar c .` instead of `tar cf - .` as gnu tar uses
 stdout by default.]

True.  But 8.3.1 has basics already...  Just different style in your
examples.

...
 * pipes
 
 [But here I start diverging from 8.3 by talking about dd and pipes.
 Really, I'm giving background for the machinery in the next section.
 I don't think there is a section on pipes yet so: ]

I use cat or its equivalent (standard out) to feed into the pipe in
8.3.1.

...
 Real world example:
   ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] cd /etc/cron;
   tar -c \
   -g snapshot \
   -X exclude \
   / | dd obs=20KiB  |

See my example script backup in
 /usr/share/doc/Debian/debian-reference/examples

 * Tutorial: Running it all from cron

This may be too much here now.  Let me get-by providing pointer to
CRN which is explained in 8.6.27.

 muggles $ cat /home/backerupper/chaljin/script.sh
 #!/bin/bash
 
 # Save the debconf database
 ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] debconf-get-selections  
 /var/backups/debconf-selections

This is nice but I have not tested this.
...
 [I've had problems with the blocking factor (-b) in tar, which seems
 to have no impact when I use it.  `tar c /home | dd obs=10KiB | dd
 bs=10KiB count=100` seems to indicate that the blocking tar uses (regardless
 of the -b$NUM option) is 512 bytes.]

That is why use STDOUT, I think :-)
...
   but again it's slow working on large tar files.  For me, it took
   more than 60 minutes to open one of my 120GB full dumps in
   file-roller.

I recommend to use command line tool for such issues.

Bug#279408: Possible patch.

2005-05-01 Thread Dan Merillat
It's not really dchroot at fault, it's su(1) brokenness.  su gets the
arguments seperately, but blats them all out for sh.  Here's a patch for
dchroot to work around that behavior.  No special work required, 
dchroot ls a b c d correctly passes it on and looks up a b and 
c d.  This breaks wildcard expansion, but in fact the previous 
behavior was an artifact.  You'd have to run something like ls *
to get it to expand on the chroot rather then the local side.

Really, we need to fix su(1).  That's not likely, though, I'm
sure it'd blow away compatability.  Suck in the relevant source
to dchroot and skip the call to su(1) entirely?

*** Please type your report below this line ***
It's a hell of a lot more likely that you'll be processing something

have to ls | tr '\n' '\0' | xargs -0 cmd.  I can do the legwork if
it's something that

I can't make that happen here, but it seems that's a case where we got
[bar, foo] and expected to get [foo, bar]. And the order seems to
come directly from readdir. That is, the test is unreliable.

I'll try to find all such cases and upload a fixed version, hopefully
today.

Dear Release managers,

One of my package 855resolution is waiting to enter in Sarge for 21 days.
855resolution is i386 specific package, but from my mistake, old

I've already requested to ftpmasters to remove old them as

Bug#307149: libxmlrpc-c0-dev: Incompatible C++ ABI?

2005-05-01 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen

Package: libxmlrpc-c0-dev
Version: 0.9.9-3
Severity: important

Severity important, as this effect all C++ users of the library
without making it unusable for all C users.

I discovered a problem with the C++ bindings when trying to use
libxmlrpc with a C++ project.  The symbol name mangling used in
/usr/lib/libxmlrpc_cpp.a is not the same as the one used by the
current sarge version of 'c++', GCC debian version 1:3.3.5-12.

The symptoms are that several symbols are missing at the link stage.
For example XmlRpcValue::makeArray() is missing.

I made this test code to demonstrate the problem (xmlrpctest.cpp):

  #include XmlRpcCpp.h
  int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
  XmlRpcValue param_array;
  param_array = XmlRpcValue::makeArray();
  return 0;
  }

I compile it, and try to link it with libxml.  Notice how the compiled
symbol _ZN11XmlRpcValue9makeArrayEv (XmlRpcValue::makeArray()) do not
match the symbol makeArray__11XmlRpcValue
(XmlRpcValue::makeArray(void)) present in libxmlrpc_cpp.a.  I believe
libxmlrpc-c0-dev need to be rebuilt with the latest C++ verssions in
Sarge, and the library name need to change to reflect the C++ ABI
change.

  % c++ -c xmlrpctest.cpp
  % nm xmlrpctest.o
   U __gxx_personality_v0
   T main
   U _Unwind_Resume
   U xmlrpc_DECREF

Bug#307148: libxmlrpc-c0-dev: Missing dependency on libwww?

2005-05-01 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen

Package: libxmlrpc-c0-dev
Version: 0.9.9-3
Severity: seriuos

I set severity to seriuos, as all packages should depend on the
packages they need to work.

I'm trying to get an xmlrpc client working using libxmlrpc-c0-dev, but
ran into link problems.  My link stage reports messages like this:

  /usr/lib/libxmlrpc_client.so: undefined reference to `HTChunk_delete'

After some investigation, I discovered that I'm supposed to link with
lost of libwww* libraries, but these are not installed on my machine.
I found this surprising, as I would expect libxmlrpc-c0-dev to depend
on the libraries needed by the included libraries.

I next tried to build one of the example programs, only to discover
that the linking failed due to missing libraries:

  % cc -o synch_client /usr/share/doc/libxmlrpc-c0-dev/examples/synch_client.c\
 `xmlrpc-c-config libwww-client --libs`
  /usr/bin/ld: kan ikke finde -lwwwzip
  collect2: ld returnerede afslutningskoden 1
  %

I suspect the correct fix is to add a dependency from libxmlrpc-c0-dev
to 'libwww-dev | libwww-ssl-dev', but am not sure.

Hi,

this bug is to track the issue...

As described by Thomas Lange in 
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-fai%40rrz.uni-koeln.de/msg02459.html
Kernel 2.6 has a bug, which prevents tune2fs to work correctly, which is why 
tune2fs is disabled for kernel 2.6 in fai 2.8.1 in the example classes.

Sorry, Goswin, this is everything but easy. mocka should really get
removed but when I filed a bug about that some people told me they
really need it and the sky will fall if it is removed. Basically it does
not really build from sources since not all tools are available even for

Bug#276681: running gst-register to fix broken volume control

2005-05-01 Thread josh
Subject: gnome-media: running gst-register to fix broken volume control
Package: gnome-media
Version: 2.8.0-0.2
Severity: important

There are numerous bugs on gnome-media reporting problems with the
volume and mixer controls, especially after updating.

I recently had the identical problem as reported in bugs #303568 and
#276681, and finally resolved it by removing my ~/.gstreamer-0.?
directories and rebuilding them by running gst-register-0.6 and
gst-register-0.8 (which are in the libgstreamer0.? packages). After
this, the volume and mixer controls worked correctly.

Interestingly, only users who already had accounts had this
problem. When new users are added, their gstreamer registries are
generated correctly, so the problem is with old gstreamer registries
not getting updated, and of course, there's nothing that notifies you
that you need to do this.

 It seems that only RSS 2.0 feeds are supported, not RSS 1.0 ones.
 

That's sad, as all feeds I'd be interested in are not 2.0 ones.
But as this feature is nothing extremely needed, it would be
ok for me if that behaviour was documented.

Thanks,

Bug#307158: vim-gtk: Edit -- Select Font... defaults to (non-monospaced) Sans font

2005-05-01 Thread Andreas Metzler
Package: vim-gtk
Version: 1:6.3-068+4
Severity: minor

Hello,
The selection dialogue that pops up on Edit -- Select Font... is
set on

Family Sans
Style Regular
Size 12


There are two problems with that:
* This is not the font that is used by default, i.e.
Edit -- Select Font...
followed by Enter or the [Ok] button will change the font.
* This font is not monospaced and therefore not usable in vim.

Sometimes I need more space and would like vim to use a tiny font
temporarily - the obvious way, Edit -- Select Font... and
reducing the Size value won't work, I am suddenly stuck with a
unusable font.

FWIW the default font (with gvim -u NONE -u NONE) seems to be
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono Roman 10.

 Dear Release managers,

 One of my package 855resolution is waiting to enter in Sarge for 21 days.
 855resolution is i386 specific package, but from my mistake, old
 versions of other architectures look prevent to enter in.

 I've already requested to ftpmasters to remove old them as
 #306356, but please approve 855resolution_0.3-4_i386 if you permit.

The main issue seems to be to get the old packages out, not to get the new

Bug#304968: gnustep-base should not enter in sarge now

2005-05-01 Thread Steve Langasek
Hi Eric,

 gnustep-base 1.10.2 should stay in sid untill gnustep-gui and gnustep-back
 are ready to enter in sarge and all gnustep apps are successfully tested
 or rebuilt.  We want to keep sarge clean.

It looks to me like gnustep-gui and gnustep-back are ready to go.  Does this
bug still apply?  Not that it blocks the fix for 305044 from reaching sarge. 
Or perhaps 305044 only ever affected unstable?

2005-05-01 Thread Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the prc-tools package. I will continue to serve
until somebody else steps up, since I do need this package, but I find I
have little interest in maintaining it.  Plus, this is not an easy
package.

The package description is:
 Prc-tools provides the GNU assembler, linker, compiler, debugger, and
 binary utilities necessary to compile PalmOS native programs on your
 Debian system.  The created executables may be hot-synced to your
 Pilot using its included cradle and the pilot-link or kpilot
 software, also available as Debian packages.
 .
 As prc-tools now supports both chipset supported by PalmOS, the
 package has been split into two, one for each toolchain.  This dummy
 package remains to ensure successful upgrades from older releases.
 You may safely delete it.

This is incorrect -- there's no reason that, given the existance of the

should stay listed as arch: any.  This way, once sbcl is available for mipsen,
vcs-tree will build without any extra work.

Bug#300577: FPC_USE_LIBC etc.

2005-05-01 Thread Marco van de Voort

maintaining m-tx, a program designed for Free Pascal only, I would like
to Build-Depend on FPC to let m-tx be compiled natively (instead of
being compiled via p2c / gcc). Unfortunately, FPC currently doesn't link
binaries against libc which means syscalls (of Linux) are used directly.

That is correct.

This causes interoperability issues when using multiple Linux versions
(2.4/2.6) in a single Debian distribution.

I'm not aware of any issues. Could you give examples ? All syscalls used 
by FPC have been standard since 2.0 afaik.

I read that FPC_USE_LIBC should be used for this, but I couldn't figure
out how to use it since it's not really documented.

That's experimental, and not recommended or supported.

Problems with libcs constantly breaking binary interface is what drove us to
syscalls in the first place.

Bug#295416: [Pkg-shadow-devel] Deleting a user group in userdel should only be done if the group is empty

2005-05-01 Thread Alexander Gattin
Hi!

On Sun, May 01, 2005 at 08:10:01AM +0200, Christian Perrier wrote:
  Probably we should consider the following functional
  split between adduser/deluser (i.e. high-level) and
  useradd/userdel (low-level) tools:
 The most important split, imho, is that useradd/userdel and other
 low-level utilities are potentially shared among several Unices and
 Linux distros.
 
 So, as Marc mentioned, care should be taken to keep them behave
 consistently among these.

Of course, this should be taken into account as long as
it doesn't create problem for Debian.

But, problems are inavoidable, considering the
direction taken by Tomasz. He tends to extend
functionality of usedadd/userdel thus shifting the
tools into high-level.

This interferes with my proposed policy (split
between high/lowlevel tools).

 For me, this forbids us (Debian maintainers) to patch them in any way
 to make their behaviour different in Debian.
 
 But, we should also remember that we work with upstream, so we're
 likely to influence a change in the design.

Yes.

IMHO, the high/lowlevel conflict can be solved in
all-satisfactory way by introducing switches to
usedadd/userdel that make them skip high-level
consistency checks [thus switching the tools into
low-level explicitly].

For example, usedadd could use smth. like
--force-badname cmdline option.

I think this is what we need here and which will not
break compatibility.

  P.S. please, keep in mind that bug #295416 is not about
  deleting group which has other members in it.
  The bug is about userdel removing group which is
  _primary_ for someone else (not having other _members_).
 Not exactly. This is about userdel *always* deleting the primary group
 of the user it deletes, no matter whether this group is used by
 another user.

No, userdel really always _tries_ to delete a primary
group for user being deleted (and this is not
documented, unfortunately).

But of course userdel doesn't delete a group which has
other members in it:
 cherokee:~# groupadd bug295416
 cherokee:~# useradd -g bug295416 bug295416
 cherokee:~# useradd -G bug295416 other295416
// created with primary group users (by default)
 cherokee:~# getent group bug295416
 bug295416:x:1005:other295416

Let's delete bug295416 user now:
 cherokee:~# userdel bug295416
 cherokee:~# getent group bug295416
 bug295416:x:1005:other295416

Here you see that the bug295416 group is left in
place.

But in the next scenario we can clearly see a problem:
 cherokee:~# groupadd bug295416
 cherokee:~# useradd -g bug295416 bug295416
 cherokee:~# useradd -g bug295416 other295416
 cherokee:~# userdel bug295416
 cherokee:~# getent group bug295416
 cherokee:~# 
Here you see that bug295416 group is deleted. But
it's still the primary group for other295416:
 cherokee:~# getent passwd other295416
 other295416:x:1007:1005::/home/other295416:

Here the integrity of /etc/passwd+/etc/group is broken,
because an entry in former refers to gid 1005 which is
absent from latter.

 From your statement above (userdel should guarantee the integrity of
 system files), such behaviour should *not* happen.

Yes, thus I forwarded a message to Tomasz. There is a
bug in upstream, IMHO.

 and has never been 2xx accepted for delivery after that DATA phase.  It
 would of course be ideal if the exiscan patch cleaned up completely, but
 it is usually an external scanner blowup at the root of it, so I have
 never reported it against exiscan.

I have forwarded this issue to exim-dev to find out whether current
exiscan properly cleans up.

 Hi again. Just looked, the last version is still 9905. I'll take from
 that that the project is dead. Guess I will file a removal request.

A rebuild of the current source would suffice if that is possible
(sounds like it isn't anymore). According to popcon there are still
some users left:

Bug#307131: glpk bug #307131

2005-05-01 Thread Falk Hueffner
Hi Brady,

do you have any opinion what do do about this bug? 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=307131

For me, 100% compatibility within the versions of testing
is not a goal. However, this will probably also hit people upgrading
from the previous stable version (3.0.6-1) once sarge is released.
There are two choices:

* leave things as are, and add documentation on how to adapt
existing source.

* move the current glpk package to glpk4, and upload as glpk the
latest version that does not contain API changes as compared to 3.0.6.

I guess the choice mainly depends on how many people would get hit
by this, and how difficult it would be to adapt your sources... what do you
think?

   Falk

  It's not like Debian's short of webmail packages.
  
  That said, a non-DD has prepared an updated package as of a week ago, but no

  Just wondering what peoples' thoughts are?
 
 I took a look at the current upstream version (2.51).
 
  * cgi-bin/openwebmail/modules/tool.pl: Upstream no longer uses completely
predictable temporary filenames, but the race condition between checking
whether a file exists and actually opening it is still there.

commands by passing file=; ... | to addrviewatt().
 
  * cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-folder.pl: The user can execute arbitrary
commands by passing folder=; ... | to downloadfolder().
 
  * cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-webdisk.pl: If the user has FTP access
and uploads a file named ; ... |, editfile() and downloadfile() will
execute the command.
 
  * cgi-bin/openwebmail/openwebmail-webdisk.pl: The user can execute
arbitrary commands by uploading a URL in the form http://foo/; 
 
 I stopped looking at this point.  The code is rife with vulnerabilities, and
 needs to be audited line by line; I'm not sure this is likely anytime soon.
 I think we should remove it.  (It can always be added back if it's fixed.)
 

That's good enough reason for me.

Hello,

todays DSL configurations support speeds far above pppstatus' maximum.
Especially 1024, 2048 and 3072 are not configure-able with pppstatus
currently. Having continuous/free speed configuration would be nice.
Most likely, this is something to forward upstream. However, I'm not
sure if upstream is still active.

 There has been some work in that regard in 2.0.11, which is in
 experimental, and in the current HEAD revision in the arch repository.
 These patches are mainly geared towards having a debian/-only setup,
 but they can possibly aid in helping your issue to be solved as well.
 
 Can you take a look at the changes we did to the HEAD revision and say

2005-05-01 Thread Artur R. Czechowski
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hello,
I use LaTeX rarely recently and I am no longer interested in maintaining
this package. If anyone is interested please adopt this package.
It is recommended that new maintainer has profound knowledge about vim
scripting.
Tha package has 9 outstanding bugs, 5 of them are forwarded to upstream,
3 requires more attention (and some detailed knowledge about how vim
works), 1 is easy to fix.

As a conclusion: package is in rather good shape and it could be a great
help for people using vim to prepare a LaTeX documents. I would be happy
if somebody could spare some time to keep this package in distribution.

The package description is:
 Vim is undoubtedly one of the best editors ever made. LaTeX is an extremeley
 powerful, intelligent typesetter. Vim-LaTeX aims at bringing together the best
 of both of these worlds.
 .
 We attempt to provide a comprehensive set of tools to view, edit and compile
 LaTeX documents without the need to ever quit Vim. Together, they provide
 tools like macros speeding up the edition of LaTeX documents, means for
 compiling tex files to forward searching .dvi documents.
 .
 This package also provides help to LaTeX in vim.

 Marc Haber [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
  Stupid question: The commands you pipe into dpep end up being executed

 Yes.  The idea is to semi-automatically update our autofiles.dpatch.
 Those commands run all the autofoo needed to bring the
 dpatch-edit-patch temp tree up to date.  I presume as far as the shell
 that dpatch-edit-patch launches is concerned, all those commands are
 just coming in over stdin, as if they'd been typed.
 
 Actually, as a possibly more flexible alternative, dpatch-edit-patch
 could just allow multiple --command arguments and execute them in
 order.  If there were no --command arguments, the default would be
 --command=/bin/sh, which would preserve the current behavior.

That would be a problem with getopt, which later versions of dpep use.

 Of course with such an approach, it might be nicer if
 dpatch-edit-patch treated any non-zero exit status as an abort, rather
 than just exit 230, but I suppose you can always use shell traps to
 work around that, at least if you're using scripts rather than
 compiled executables for your --commands.
 
 Also, I'm not stuck on --command, --cmd, -c, or whatever would be
 fine.

Nice idea. A patch will be considered.

Greetings
Marc

Bug#237877: Fwd: Bug#237877: X's falling back to 75 dpi

2005-05-01 Thread Siward de Groot

 Hi everyone,

On 22/4/2005 Cristopher Martin wrote :
 Recently I took it upon myself to adjust KDE's default fonts
 I picked as a default size 10 points,

 That is the problem. You specify fontsize in points.
 And then you try to solve problem by setting dpi.

 Dpi represents (or should represent) dots per inch of a display.
 For each display it is a fixed value.
 If you change it and use it, it represents something different.
 Using one global variable to represent two different things is bad.
 If original meaning of dpi is completely useless,
   then dpi only represents one thing, but has a confusing name,
   which is bad.

 A 'point', when used as a measure of fontsize,
as defined by creators of Postscript,
is exactly one 72ndth of an inch.
 It is a very usefull measure for output printed on paper.
 It is not usefull for specifying output on a monitor,
   because it is an absolute measure
   (it is also a relative measure, in that it specifies
relative size of one font compared to another
if both are specified in points,
but that is not relevant here),
   and while output printed on paper
 is looked at from a fairly constant distance,
   this is not true for monitors,
 where viewing distance depends on monitor
 and on kind of text viewed.

 So what measure should be used for specifying fontsize on a display ?

 As rules of thumb,
   * viewing distance is proportional to size of display, and
   * different kinds of text are viewed with different applications,
 and default font can be set per application.
 Due to second rule of thumb, we only need consider one type of text ;
   if that can be handled correctly, then so can all others
   (provided someone selects appropriate default fonts for them).
 Due to first rule of thumb, size in meters of a displayed font
   should increase proportionally with increasing size of display,
   and as physical dots per inch of displays is fairly constant,
   a reasonable approximation can be made
   by specifying font size in pixels,
   where 'reasonable' means: less than 10% away from ideal size.
 The BillyBigs pages your email refers to, say that
   Windows uses an 8 pt font at 96 dpi,
   MacOS   uses a 13 pt font at 75 dpi,
8 [point] * 1/72 [inch/point] * 96 [dot/inch] = 10.66 [dot]
   13 [point] * 1/72 [inch/point] * 72 [dot/inch] = 13[dot]
   * fractional dots can't be displayed;
   windows's tahoma is probably rendered as 11 pixels.
   * difference partly reflects different uses these fonts have,
 Windows being mainly for use in an office,
 and MacOS more targeted at high-quality visual output,
 which is similar to different per-application fonts.
   * remaining difference reflects user-preferences,
 which may depend on real dpi of their user's monitors ;
 i would expect MacOS users to have somewhat higher real dpi.

 Thus specifying fontsizes in pixels always enables to specify
a good approximation of ideal font size.
 But maybe we can do better if real dpi is known.
 I think that if a user gets a monitor of same size s/he had previously,
   but with higher real dpi,
   then s/he will want to use this for two things:
   better looking fonts, and seeing more text on display.
 Let's assume that both desires are equally strong,
   and we can model it by assuming that
   they will increase their viewing distance
   by a factor that is square root of ratio of new dpi to old dpi.
 As far as i know, range of real dpi's is between 75 and 100
   (thus 'dotsize' of a monitor is between .25 and .33)
   (but i could imagine tft screens having smaller dots),
   thus square root of ratio of extreme dotsizes is 1.15 ,
   and if an average is used, ideal value deviates less than 8% from it.
 Thus, if default fontsize has been specified in pixels,
   and it has been specified to a value that is best for average user,
   then correcting for real dpi would result in max 1 pixel difference.

 In practice, increasing a font size by 1 pixel can make it look ugly,
   often because middle bar in E is no longer in middle.
 While implementing optimization for real dpi could be good
   (it would require a beauty contest,
and a 'beauty' field in XFontStruct),
   there are currently more important optimizations to be done,
   as you currently specify fontsize in points,
   so next thing to do would be to
 change that to a specification in pixels.

 Trying to change default dpi for a purpose that is different from
   making it more accurately represent
 most common or average dpi of our user's displays,
   amounts to you pushing a specific (wrong) interpretation of dpi,
   which goes against wishes of others,
   who use a different (wrong) interpretation of dpi.
 This explains why you got complaints.

 If K applications are not capable of specifying default font in pixels,
   please fix that,
   instead of trying to change X in a random unrelated way.

 The above implies that it is not possible to

Hi Matthias,

I've tracked this down to a doxygen syntax error in libstdc++'s

Bug#305443: Re: Bug#305443: smtp-auth documentation is incomplete

2005-05-01 Thread Drew Parsons
On Sun, 2005-05-01 at 12:47 +0200, Marc Haber wrote:

 Can you check the current version of the file,
 http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-exim4/exim/trunk/debian/README.SMTP-AUTH?op=filerev=0sc=0,
 and say whether the docs are ok now. If not, please say what should be
 changed.
 

Thanks for looking over it further.

As far as I can tell, the file in svn for README.SMTP-AUTH is the same
as already in sid. The text I'm referring to reads:

-
If you need to enable them for unencrypted connections because your
service provider does support neither TLS encryption nor the CRAM MD5
authentication method, you can do so by setting the appropriate macro
as mentioned in the comments in the configuration file [3].
...
[3] If you are using split configuration (dc_use_split_config='true'
in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf), the file to edit is
/etc/exim4/conf.d/auth/30_exim4-config_examples. If you are not using
split configuration, your file is /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template.
-

The problematic phrase is setting the appropriate macro as mentioned
in the comments in the configuration file. That is to say, this phrase
is clear on its own, it tells me that I will find further instructions
in /etc/exim4/conf.d/auth/30_exim4-config_examples.  

The problem is when I look for these instructions inside
30_exim4-config_examples.  I can't find them.  I can't see where your
latest svn version of 30_exim4-config_examples is located, the one at
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-exim4/exim4-config-medium/trunk/exim4-config-medium/debian/config/conf.d/conf.d/auth/30_exim4-config-medium_examples?op=filerev=0sc=0,

When I read /etc/exim4/conf.d/auth/30_exim4-config_examples (4.50-6), I see 
these instructions:
#
##
# See /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.SMTP-AUTH
##

# These examples below are the equivalent for client side authentication.
# They get the passwords from CONFDIR/passwd.client. This file should have
# three columns separated by colons, the first contains the name of the
# mailserver to authenticate against, the second the username and the third
# contains the password.

### # example for CONFDIR/passwd.client
### mail.server:blah:secret
### # default entry:
### *:bar:foo

# Because AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN send the password in clear, we
# only allow these mechanisms over encrypted connections by default.



And that's the only instructions given in 30_exim4-config_examples,
with respect to client-side authentication.

README.SMTP-AUTH talks about the appropriate macro as mentioned in the
comments in the configuration file, but the config file
(30_exim4-config_examples) does not mention any macro in its comments.

Note also the circular references: README.SMTP-AUTH says read the
comments in 30_exim4-config_examples, while 30_exim4-config_examples
says read README.SMTP-AUTH for more help.

I think there are two alternative ways to fix this (making clear what
macro needs to be set and removing the circular reference):

1) Keep the reference in README.SMTP-AUTH to the comments in
30_exim4-config_examples, and add those comments. Something like:
# Because AUTH PLAIN and AUTH LOGIN send the password in clear, we
# only allow these mechanisms over encrypted connections by default.
#
# If your ISP does not support encrypted connections, send them an
# email telling them to fix their email server, and then add the following 
definition:
#   AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS=1
# to Marc, identify which config file here. Honestly, I don't know in
  which one the definition for AUTH_CLIENT_ALLOW_NOTLS_PASSWORDS should
  be placed

Or maybe you could place the definition right there in
30_exim4-config_examples, and the instruction will say ...telling them
to fix their email server, and then uncomment the following line This
would be similar to the instructions you gave in previous versions,
only simpler.

2) Remove the reference to setting the appropriate macro as mentioned
in the comments in the configuration file from README.SMTP-AUTH, and
instead say (in README.SMTP-AUTH) something like
