Bug#308900: Please remove kernel-patch-powerpc-2.6.10 from the archive.
Package: ftp.debian.org Hello, As it seems completely unlikely that at this stage we are going to update the sarge kernel to 2.6.10, and since 2.6.11 is available and should be used, i am asking for the removal of the powerpc 2.6.10 kernel.

Bug#308894: add debconf questions for naming network interfaces
Not sure whether this would be better reassigned to netcfg or
ddetect. Joey?
Quoting Matt Taggart ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist
It would be really cool if during an install you could be prompted to
name the various network interfaces for use with nameif. Maybe this
question would only occur if you had more than one interface or were in
expert mode.
I really think this proposal is of great interest. I already did
installs on systems with two identical cards and this is a real PITA
to figure out what is eth0 and what is eth1...:-)
You appear to have more than one network interface. Would you like to
change their default names to something more meaningful to help you
differentiate them? yes/no
Let's make this DTSG compliant (neutral wording, no question in long
descriptions)..
Should be something like:
_Description: Do you want to changer network interface names?
It appears that the system has more than one network interface.
You can change their default names to more meaningful names.
(English to be enhanced here?)
Select the interface to name interfaces listed with MAC address,
driver name, and lspci data
_Description: Interface to rename:
Enter a new name for the interface textfield
_Description: New name for the ${interface} interface:
and for extra credit maybe even a screen that helps you determine which
is which based on link state (and you can plug/unplug to determine).
That would rock:)
Matt, do you feel OK to code this?
(I am obviously not able to...)
Or maybe joshk?

On Thu, May 12, 2005 at 12:22:46PM +0200, Eduard Bloch wrote: severity 290329 grave thanks I tried to install Sarge on a ppc and... it failed! Because at least some modules have been missing. Following semi-official hints, I figured out that MODULES=dep needs to be set to make it work. This has been confirmed by Sven (see below). Yes, indeed, setting MODULES=dep by default on powerpc should be safe, the only reason to keep most is for x86, where we are fearing that the mkinitrd detection code is broken for some cases and play safe. This is not the case for powerpc, where we have rather good knowledge of what hardware is available, and the initrd size constraint on some arches overbalance the eventual lone case of this not being true, and it is preferable to know about such case and fix them anyway. Jeff, please fix this in a proposed-for-sarge initrd-tools upload, or at least in the unstable version.

Package: gaim-guifications Version: 2.10-1 Severity: minor Hi, My screen has 135 dpi, so I have rather big fonts. Unfortunately, the popup box sizes of the default are so small, every text is abbreviated.. I often see messages like Mikl and then in the next line signe.. that makes them pretty useless for me... :-( The themes should either use pixel-sized fonts, or not use pixel-sized windows, but ones that scale with your screen resolution... The default theme might be fine. I havn't thoroughly tested all of them... Also in my opinion, the defaults should be less verbose... why popup a message already if a user is typing... thats overkill. Just enable a reasonable set of default messages (logon, messaged, signoff).

Hi Joey, On Tue, May 10, 2005 at 01:14:25PM -0400, Joey Hess wrote: There's nothing stopping you from including an example value in the template. Don't present it as the default value. I don't like this but I won't argue it. It does not matter that much, it's easy to remove the remark. By whom? As I am the maintainer of slapd I expect nobody else to change that default. Preseeding? Derived distributions? Preseeding: Okay, we are talking about different default values here. I am talking about the value suggested by the maintainer you are talking about the previous value. From debconf-devel(7): RESET question This resets the question to its default value (as is specified in the 'Default' field of its template). So I'd expect the default value to mean the value from the Default field. Derived distributions: The Default: entry of that question is just 7 lines apart from the explanation which mentions it. I'd say it's not that hard to change both when you create a derived package. frontend is changed to at least present the user the current/default value if the libterm-readline-gnu-perl package is not installed. And make it very clear that hitting return means submitting an empty value. It does. It prompts as follows: Directory to dump databases: _ a) It does neither present the default nor the current value. b) It is /not/ clear that hitting enter means the empty value. With alone this information (the above one line) that's what I would have expected. But I was used to debconf using the default value when hitting enter even with the readline interface. Barring some note that tells them there is a default, noone would expect hitting enter to result in some default value here[1]. The convention is I can proof the opposite by counterexample: I would expect it. Not on the grounds of that output but by using debconf with readline frontend before and just hitting enter when I did not care about a particular setting. Or this: Directory to dump databases: /var/backups/slapd-VERSION_ Yep, I was used that from older versions of the debconf readline interface. As a matter of fact I seldom read the full description of and option and decide by reading 3-4 lines that the default will be okay and hit enter. Perhaps it's even better (for compatibility with the readline-installed case) to ask the user to explicitly input for the empty value. And then users need to learn a complicated set of rules for the edge cae where they want to enter a literal pair of double quotes. No thanks. It was just a suggestion. Why? Validating user input is the correct thing to do in all cases anyway. How do you validate if some input can be used as a directory name? Almost any input is acceptable there (except the empty string against which I am checking against now). Greetings Torsten signature.asc Description: Digital signature

getenv() can return NULL
Better use something like if ((tmp_file=getenv(HOME)) != NULL) {
I thought about this too and thought that this would be ok,
because screen uses getenv too without checking this.
anyway, i will rework it.
+strncat(tmp_file,/,1);
Ouch! Never concat *anything* to a forignly allocated string!
Never ever!
Create a new variable of the proper size (i.e. strlen(tmp_file)+2)
and use that.
Thanks.
+tmp_rcname=strtok(rcfilename,~/);
Again, strtok() can return NULL.
Yes, tmp_rcname = rcfilename + 2 would be better.
Thanks!
+strncat(tmp_file,tmp_rcname, strlen(tmp_rcname));
Ouch! See my comment above.

Bug#308877: smlnj: Build relies on network connection
Also note, MLton uses the same technique. The only difference is that when building without dependency checking, I help create a bootstrap package for you instead of requiring you install smlnj yourself. To be fair, SML/NJ is somewhat more brittle in terms of compiling itself. Originally, I hoped that once a platform's package was part of Debian version n would be able to compile n+1, so the autobuilders would be able to handle the situation. Unfortunately, most of the time this is not the case, requiring new bootstrap packages for most versions. From the MLton README.Debian file: NOTE TO PORTERS AND AUTOBUILDERS MLton is self-hosting, ie building MLton requires a working ML compiler, and the Makefiles assume that this is MLton itself. This means MLton build-depends upon itself. Please don't whine about this fact (eg file bugs) unless you have something constructive to suggest. You can build MLton with older versions of itself, as long as the command-line switches haven't changed too much. You can also bootstrap with SML/NJ. See the User Guide for details. It is easy enough to manually build: fetch the latest linux binary tgz from www.mlton.org, symbolic link the binaries it contains into /usr/bin/ and its library directory as /usr/lib/mlton, and you're good to go. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I think MailScanner should create any such directories if it needs to because the tidy-minded exim eats them at startup and also when the queue-runner runs.

In the normal case message_subdir will have been set correctly by spool_read_header, but as this is a rare operation, just run everything twice. */ As an experiment, I stopped mailscanner and left exim running. I removed all the single-character sub-directories. Then I sent an email to the test account. It arrived in the incoming queue dir. I stopped exim and mv'd the 2 files (header and data) from the incoming queue dir to the outgoing queue dir (and similar for the log in msglog).

Bug#308903: gaim-guifications: Doesn't handle high-resolution displays properly
Hi, This is a fundamental flaw in the design. We can't scale according to fonts because of many reasons, but on that comes to mind is a buddy on msn who has an insanely long friendly name. If we scaled to fit all that text, the notification would take up a good portion of your screen. So instead of that, I opted to have it be the size of the image, which of course is up to the theme developer, who probably isn't using that high of a resolution nor has a dpi of 135. Which of course is going to lead into such behavior. Thats two different things. You could use a box which has a width of 2*dpi. On a normal screen, that would be 150 pixels. On mine it would be 270. On both this would be about 2 inch big on the real screen. The problem is, that you do scale the fonts - automatically... Or to speak in CSS terms: use a width like 16em, not 256px. OR: use pixel-sized fonts, not point-sized. If the fonts are small (on high-res-screens), thats not so bad as when you can't read the contents of the notification at all because there's not enough space to put just 10 chars in there. It's not so much about scaling so the text fits in there. I don't care about insanely long buddy names... I agree with you on that, I don't want too big notifications either. But I'd like to be able to display buddy names of lets say... 8 chars? This is up to Tollef, the guifications debian packager, to decide. The packages I produce will always have all notifications disabled, since ... you probably mean enabled, judging from the rest of the sentence. whenever I play with a new piece of software would rather have to turn something off, than to dig around and find out that it can do something else. Well, from a usability point of view, the best choice is to set the defaults so they are optimal to most users.

the intended behavior? In this case there is no distinction between
--{disabled-password,disabled-login}, is there?
The way I interpret the OPTIONS sections of the man page,
--disabled-login should have a stronger effect then --disabled-password:
--disabled-login
Do not run passwd to set the password. The user won't be able
to use her account until the password is set.
--disabled-password
Like --disabled-login, but logins are still possible for example
through SSH RSA keys, but not using password authentification.
Shouldn't --disabled-login use '!' and --disabled-password use '*'?

Bug#308879: endless loop on startup
If I start tinyca it creates the main window and then proceeds to output this line endlessly: Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/lib/tinyca/OpenSSL.pm line 502. I can not reproduce this on Sarge. I noticed that the version of openssl in unstable is 0.9.7g, whereas Sarge has 0.9.7e.

Bug#305193: zaptel-source: compilation error in zaphfc.c
severity 305193 important thanks It seems this bug only manifests when MODULE_LOC is pointed somewhere other than /usr/src/modules. That's a common use case, but not the primary one; so I don't think this bug can be considered release-critical. (It's definitely not serious in any case, unless the maintainers say they think it makes the package unsuitable for release; and it's not grave since the workaround is to use /usr/src.) So, downgrading to important. If you're using make-kpkg, applying Tzafrir's patch should be a viable workaround.

Bug#308935: netdaemon should leave configuration file untouched
Package: netapplet Version: 0.99.3-4 Severity: grave After installation of netapplet my wireless connection went down for no obvious reason. It could take an hour but also only after a few minutes. At first I did not have a clue what caused this problem. Later on I found that the configuration file in /etc/sysconfig/network/ named ifcfg-wlan-id-mac-addres was changed. The values of WIRELESS_ESSID and WIRELESS_KEY_0 had been changed from there orginal value to any and empty respectively and also in the wlan device. Consequently the connection did not work anymore. Finally lsof revealed that netdaemon was the cause. After removing netdaemon/netapplet my wireless connection was stable again. It took weeks to uncover this problem, although it teached me a lot about the internals of the network setup. In my view netdaemon should not change anything in such a configuration without consulting the user. It messed up a perfectly running connection. -- System Information: SuSE 9.2 Kernel: 2.6.8-24.14-default netapplet comes as an rpm with SuSE 9.2 Wireless setup: Q-TEC card Wireless 54G Chipset: Marvell W8300 Driver: ndiswrapper with Windows XP driver for this card.

My only problem related with booting was getting into OpenFirmware and working with it. Manual is very uninformative about it. Those iMacs I'm installing Debian on have non-Apple USB keyboards and mouses. While I hadn't got time to check if mouse works, it's impossible to select non-mac keyboard while installing. I tried expert, but still i didn't had this option. I had to copy pl.kmap.gz to /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz to make it work. There should be an option to select keyboard layout from all available. Also, after expert installation base-config was put in /etc/inittab on tty1. While the program itself worked well, once I finished base-config it was started again and again. I had to manually modify /etc/inittab. This didn't happen when I did normal install. One last thing that annoys me. OF starts up its command line every boot and since I'm unfamiliar with !i386 I'm unable to make it boot hd:,\yaboot automaticaly.

Bug#308948: gcc-4.0: Please add Ada support for the ppc64 architecture
Package: gcc-4.0
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
The attached patch makes Ada work on the ppc64 architecture.
The patch changes the following:
* debian/patches/ppc64-ada.dpatch
- Add gcc/ada/system-linux-ppc64.ads, which has been copied from
gcc/ada/system-linux-ppc.ads and changed to use 'Word_Size' 64
instead of 32.
- gcc/ada/Makefile.in: Use gcc/ada/system-linux-ppc64.ads on powerpc64.
* debian/rules.patch
- Use ppc64-ada patch on ppc64.
* debian/rules.d/binary-ada.mk
Place the symlinks libgnat.so, libgnat-4.0.so, libgnarl.so, libgnarl-4.0.so
in '/usr/lib' instead of '/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc64-linux/4.0.1/adalib'.
The files libgnat-4.0.so.1 and libgnarl-4.0.so.1, where these symlinks
point to, are already in '/usr/lib'.
Without this change, it would not be possible to just specify '-lgnat' to
link an Ada program. Instead, an additional ugly architecture-specific and
gcc-version-specific linker option would have to be specified, e.g.
'-L/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc64-linux/4.0.1/adalib'.
This patch has been used for quite a while by the ppc64/gcc4 archive on
alioth. The resulting gnat-4.0 compiler compiles itself without problems.
It also compiles almost all Debian Ada source packages when the
(Build-)Depends are changed to allow building with gnat-4.0 and the
Architecture lines are changed to 'any'.
Regards
Andreas Jochens

I have cleaned up my python module tree (it was a mess), reconfigured both numarray and Numeric and it's now working well. It seems I had troubles with different versions of Numeric. Perhaps python-tables uses a function that I don't in the NumPy packages, because all was working well since no calls were made to python-tables. Anyway, congratulations for this package that is really handy to use and so efficient. Jean-Philippe
Bug#308956: foomatic-filters-ppds redundantly pulls in pre-built database
Package: foomatic-filters-ppds Version: 20050430-1 foomatic-filters-ppds depends on foomatic-db-engine, which in turn depends on foomatic-db. Thus installing the pre-built ppds also pulls in the raw data, which seems unnecessary. I don't know exactly what does what in the foomatic package system, but I've tested printing with only foomatic-filters and foomatic-filters-ppds installed, and things seem to work (I add printers using CUPS, so I never use the foomatic command-line tools). Perhaps foomatic-filters-ppds should depend on foomatic-filters, and only suggest/recommend foomatic-db-engine, if (and you know best about this of course) it isn't really needed. If foomatic-db-engine really is needed for a basic foomatic install, perhaps make foomatic-db-engine suggest rather than depend upon foomatic-db. That way, the database isn't required for those who are happy with foomatic-filters-ppds. Thanks, Christopher Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#308957: Crillee font leaves detritus in current user dictionary
Package: freefont
Version: 0.10-11
When using KWord to print documents containing some fonts in this
package, e.g. Crillee, the resulting PostScript has errors. I
consulted a local PostScript expert and he said:
The Crillee font code leaves detritus in the current user
dictionary. The encrypted portion of the font begins with the code
userdict/RD{string currentfile exch readstring pop}executeonly put
userdict/ND{noaccess def}executeonly put
userdict/NP{noaccess put}executeonly put
dup/Private 11 dict dup begin
/BlueValues [-10 0 645 646 800 810 813 814]ND
% everything defined after here goes in the new `Private' dictionary
which has the effect of defining procedures `RD', `ND' and `NP' in the
user dictionary that was in force before the font code was
executed. This means that if the font is included in a PostScript
document whose prologue code also defines a function with any of these
names, the prologue's functions will be overwritten and the PostScript
document will not print correctly. For example, the TrollTech prologue
code as generated by KWord does define `NP' as an abbreviation for
`newpath', and thus a KWord-printed PS file containing the Crillee
font can fail to print.
Other PostScript fonts deal with this by defining these internal
procedures _inside_ the `Private' dictionary created by the encrypted
font code. Here's a sample snippet from the start of the encrypted
section of a proper Type 1 font:
dup /Private 14 dict dup begin
/-|{string currentfile exch readstring pop}executeonly def
/|-{noaccess def}executeonly def
/|{noaccess put}executeonly def
/BlueValues [ -25 0 563 588 430 455 606 631 ] |-
% and more font definitions follow
The three procedures have different names in this snippet, which would
serve to eliminate the specific KWord problem but is not the important
aspect. The important point is that the `Private' dictionary has been
declared to be three elements larger, and is begun _before_ defining
the three internal procedures, so that their definitions go in the
`Private' dictionary and do not clutter up the main userdict. After
the encrypted font code finishes up, it removes the `Private'
dictionary from the active dictionary stack and those three
definitions are no longer accessible.
(I fear this may be a bug in Fontographer, by which the Crillee font
claims to have been generated.)

And why do you want we change the name of the source package when the first one is removed? What I mean is to indeed have different binary package package names, the libraries are incompatible anyway. My only point is to have the *same* _source_ package name. This does mean that the old library will get deleted on upload, so that all depending packages will need to be updated in about the same timeframe. So it's the responsability of the maintainer of a library to know which packages are linked against its lib? And if he drop a library, he could drop dependencies for some packages? Eh, basicaly yes. Libraries have an important function within the packages of Debian -- most other packages should know about their users and make sure that for them it works ok, while for library packages, library maintainers should know about the packages using it. This includes thinking in time about whether the libraries is needed anymore if there aren't any, but also choosing a good time to transition to a new version, research what's needed for that, and file bugs on depending packages to convert. After a period of time, which depending on the release schedule can be long or short, a library maintainer can decide to just drop the old version. This happens all the time, and mostly one of the library maintainers at some point goes NMU'ing the packages still not upgraded to get the transition done. The log4j transition took more than a year! I didn't follow that at all, but why did this transition take so long? Most transitions can be done easily within a month or even shorter. This usually should be easily doable, and when doing so, it means less work for all and no obsolete packages hanging around for long times -- no need to ask for removals, and a swift transition. No need for removals also means that only the maintainer decide if he can remove the package or not! No one can voice against the removal of a particular version of a lib. Those transitions are not always easy. That's indeed up to the library maintainer to decide. If the transition can be very hard, because of much changes etc, it might make sense to have multiple versions at the same time. Unstable being unstable though, there is something to say for forcing transitions to be swiftly, because it means extra maintainance for all. Once can have the new version in experimental, so depending packages can prepare the transition. This is of course of medium/long-term importance, and of course this all is to be decided how to precisely do when the situation arises. OK, it's if medium/long-term importance, I can understand your point, but the way I understood your bug report: ??Library packages should not have a version-specific source-package name[...]?? It's not a question, or a proposal, it seems like a request (but maybe my english is not that good and I don't understand 'should' has I should) or an order! Thanks to clarify. In the ideal world, it's better for library packages, in general, to have the same source package name at all times, yes. I meant 'should' as in unless there is a good reason not too, this would be the right thing to do. If it's a medium/long-term proposal, you can help me understanding who you'll solve the version of two binary packages with the same source? Will I have to play with extra debian files or is there a way to decide the version number from the debian/changelog file? Do we have to rebuild all these source packages with tarballs inside? If it's the case, maybe it's only me but it takes me more time to deal with such packages and it's the case when I have to patch them. Also, dealing with patches from two different upstream sources seems funny ;-) You can already always name the source package as you like, how the binary packages are named is completely independent and controlled from debian/control. There is no requirement that the source package is called after the main binary package. You're completely right it makes no sense to have multiple sources in one source package, indeed, that was not at all what I intended :). If that's needed for one reason or the other, indeed multiple source packages are the way to go. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
