  Description : Libraries for PowerPC64 Run-Time Abstraction
Services (RTAS)

Librtas provides a set of libraries for user-space access to the
Run-Time Abstraction Services (RTAS) on the PowerPC64 architecture.

* librtas.so
  This library allows user-space programs to make RTAS calls which
  provide support for low-level system hardware configuration and
  operations, such as retrieving hardware sensor (temp, fan speed,
  etc.) data, setting the operator panel LEDs, getting hardware
  error logs, injecting artificial hardware errors (for testing),
  getting VPD (Vital Product Data), and loading new firmware.

* librtasevent.so
  This library provides a set of definitions and useful routines
  for analyzing RTAS events, such as parsing out sections of an RTAS
  event and printing their contents.

  Description : Utilities for maintenance of IBM PowerPC platforms

The powerpc-ibm-utils package provides the utilities listed below
which are intended for the maintenance of PowerPC platforms. Further
documentation for each of the utilities is available from their
respective man pages.

* nvram - NVRAM access utility
  A utility to view and format the contents of the system's
  non-volatile RAM, which contains configuration variables for Open
  Firmware and the system's Service Processor (if any), as well as
  error records and Vital Product Data (VPD).

* bootlist - boot configuration utility
  A script to view and set the list of devices with which the system
  will attempt to boot. Both the "normal" and "service" mode lists
  can be manipulated.

* ofpathname - translate logical device names to OF names
  Used by bootlist to convert between Linux logical device names and
  Open Firmware names.

* snap - system configuration snapshot
  A script to gather significant system configuration information. The
  script creates snap.tar.gz in the working directory which can be
  used for problem determination.

Bug#386677: ITP: powerpc-ibm-utils-papr -- Utilities for maintenance of IBM PowerPC platforms

2006-09-09 Thread Aurélien GÉRÔME
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Aurélien GÉRÔME <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

* Package name: powerpc-ibm-utils-papr

* URL : http://powerpc-utils.ozlabs.org/
  Licence : IBM Common Public License
  Programming Lang: C, Perl, Bash
  Description : Utilities for maintenance of IBM PowerPC platforms

The powerpc-ibm-utils-papr package provides the utilities listed below
which are intended for the maintenance of IBM PowerPC platforms that
follow the POWER Architecture Platform Reference (sorry, still an IBM
internal document). Further documentation for each of the utilities is
available from their respective man pages and doxygen design documents.

* activate_firmware - concurrent firmware activation
  Used during concurrent firmware update operations to activate the
  new firmware image locally. This utility is invoked automatically
  when necessary.

* hvcsadmin - HVCS driver administration utility
  This is the hvcs driver administration utility which simplifies hvcs
  administration by providing a set of options for such functions
  as closing adapter targets using device mapping, querying console
  adapters, querying adapters based upon device node, gathering status,
  and closing all open adapters.

* ibmvscsis.sh - IBMVSCSIS driver init script
  When symlinked into start and stop run levels this script can provide
  vscsi server operation automation. It supports the standard array
  of init script options {start|stop|status|restart}. By design this
  script executes operations in silent mode. For extended vscsi server
  operations the vscsisadmin script should be used instead.

* rtas_dump - dump the contents of a rtas event
  A small script to front end rtas_event_decode. Just because pulling
  rtas events out of files is easier in a script.

* rtas_event_decode - dump the contents of a rtas event
  This is the back-end tool used by rtas_dump to actually parse out
  and print rtas events.

* rtas_ibm_get_vpd
  Used by the lsvpd utility to gather Vital Product Data that changes
  dynamically.

* serv_config/uspchrp - configure service processor settings
  A series of menus that can be used to update system service settings
  stored in NVRAM, which are used by the system's service processor.
  These settings include surveillance, boot, and remote maintenance
  policies. This utility is only usable on systems equipped with a
  service processor.

* set_poweron_time - configure time for system power-on
  A utility to set a time in the future for the system to automatically
  power on, if the system is powered off at that time.

* uesensor
  A utility to view the state of environental sensors on powerpc
  machines.

* update_flash - system firmware update utility
  A script that uses the rtas_flash kernel module to flash firmware.

* usysattn, usysfault - attention indicator utility
  A utility to view the status of the system attention (fault)
  indicators (LEDs), and to turn the indicators off when after an
  event has been serviced.

* usysident - identification indicator utility
  A utility to view the status of device identification indicators
  (LEDs), and to turn the indicators on and off.

* vscsisadmin - IBM Virtual SCSI Server (ibmvscsis) administration
  utilities
  This is the virtual scsi server administration utility which
  simplifies configuration, starting, and stopping of an IBM virtual
  SCSI server.  This script can be run standalone or it can be invoked
  via the ibmvscsis.sh init script. Configuration script documentation
  is provided in ibmvscsis.conf (8) and outlines the proper method
  for writing a well formed ibmvscsis configuration file.

Bug#385946: fmit: crashes at startup

2006-09-10 Thread Aurélien GÉRÔME
Hi,

The sole x86 machines I have are servers. My desktop machine is
a PowerPC and fmit runs great on it. Nonetheless, I tried to test
fmit on a x86 over an exported X11 display on a PowerPC and it worked
fine, but with ALSA disabled of course. However, it seems having ALSA
disabled does not reproduce this bug on x86. This might help to narrow
down the issue on x86...

You are mistaken. There was not any "-f" option to restartd, be it in
0.1.a-4 or in 0.2. Please look at the source code for yourself. For
you convenience, I am attaching the diff between the versions in Sarge
(0.1.a-3) and in Etch (0.2). Moreover, the manpage and the changelog
never mentioned such an option.

Also, it seems you want one, but I have no usage to do it for
myself. Hence, you are welcome to provide a patch I will gladly and
promptly integrate into a 0.2.1 release. :)

Sure, thanks for your contribution! It is really appreciated, I will

There has not been much change from 0.1.a-4. Actually, I did the
version bumping, because the hyphen was illegal for a native Debian

Bug#389013: Please use architecture any instead of architecture all

2006-09-23 Thread Aurélien GÉRÔME
Package: libsnmp-ruby1.8
Version: 0.4.1-3
Severity: important
Tags: pending

As the description says, libsnmp-ruby1.8 is implemented in pure
Ruby, so it is architecture-independent. Therefore, it should use
architecture all instead of architecture any.

I will fix it in the upload of the new upstream release.

This is *not* an error type, but really a note. Moreover, this only
happens with the SSL-enabled build which is *not* in the archive, but
the build system is provided for the users' convenience. Therefore,
you will *not* see it with the standard Debian package present in
the archive.

I think it reflects the reality better, because this message occurs
*if* the config file exists.

Same comment here, because it occurs *if* the config file contains
the servlink_path directive.

For those two points, it is needed to inform the user why he got
the message.

This is weird, because I did not touch any templates when revving
up the package to the new upstream release, so it is accurrate. Feel
free to do it yourself.

In any case, this is my understanding of this nonsense bug to my
mind. Joshua, feel free to remove the wontfix tag and to fix it
accordingly to your belief of what you wrote back then as a native

Bug#389241: uscan depends on libwww-perl, but devscripts only suggests libwww-perl

2006-09-24 Thread Aurélien GÉRÔME
Package: devscripts
Version: 2.9.21
Severity: important

uscan requires libwww-perl to operate. However, libwww-perl is not in
the Depends field of devscripts, but in the Suggests field. Running
"apt-get install devscripts" does not install libwww-perl which
renders uscan unusable. Therefore, libwww-perl should be a dependency
of devscripts and not a suggestion.

Sure, I understand perfectly your quandary on this, but in my case,
too many dependencies would not upset me. It is rather the bug reports

So why does it not segfault anymore with my work?

Well, it is a program intended to produce SIGSEGV, SIGILL, and even
SIGBUS on sparc64. I think we both agree on that.

There are 2 major modes of working:
 * one with 1 process;
 * another with forked processes.

The first mode is when crashme is invoked without the NSUB parameter.
Sometimes, the SIGSEGV can be catched, but some other times, the
kernel explicitely takes control to kill the process. Depending of
the nature of what triggered the SIGSEGV, the signal cannot be catched
via userspace.

The second mode is when crashme is invoked with the NSUB
parameter. Here, processes are forked and the same appears. However,
we do not really see it at first glance, because there are always
more than one process which keep running.

It appears the fix is there is no fix. Nowadays, the Linux kernel is
too clever for that old program. ;P

So you rebuilt a complete upstream tarball, it seems the sane way to
go to my mind.

I would be glad to check your work and even contribute. What are the
URLs of the SVN repository and of the mailing-list?

BTW, that software is great; it seems it even supports exporting to
Cadstar format, but not Protel as far as I sought.

It would be a nice addition to Debian.

libpgsql-ruby1.8 has 2 reverse-dependencies: one on libdbd-pg-ruby1.8

I would be delighted to fix that ofpath bug in yaboot, instead of
Colin's clever workaround in yaboot-installer. To do so, I need access

Bug#379855: ITP: miboot -- Linux bootloader for OldWorld PowerMac computers

2006-07-25 Thread Aurélien GÉRÔME
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

* Package name: miboot
  Version : 2.0
  Upstream Author : Benjamin Herrenschmidt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debootloaders/trunk/miboot/
  Licence : GPLv2
  Programming Lang: C / m68k Assembly
  Description : Linux bootloader for OldWorld PowerMac computers

miBoot is not suitable for Debian in its upstream form, because it
requires prioprietary software (Metrowerks Codewarrior 4.0 Pro on
legacy MacOS) to build. Our goal is to provide a package buildable
by the GNU toolchain (a m68k toolchain on a powerpc environment). We
assembled a team for that.

miBoot is not maintained upstream anymore, so we will takeover the
maintainance. Our goal requires heavy modifications of upstream source
code, hence the version bumping compared to the former upstream 1.0d4
located at <http://penguinppc.org/historical/benh/>.

Hi Arnaud,

First of all, many thanks for your bug report. To my mind, it is

and I are so proud of. :)

This is indeed the case and this is fully reproducible.

You did not misunderstand anything. :) Yes, it is normal from the
way I did the maintainer scripts. You upgraded from a version which
did not support this debconf feature I introduced in 1:7.2.2-1. Thus,
the server is stopped by the old (1:7.0.3-3.1) prerm script and the
new (1:7.2.2-2) postinst script does not start it as you requested.

This did not upset me at first when I tested the upgrade path, but
now I see how confused you may have been.

> If so, shouldn't a debconf note clearly state it ?

No, debconf notes are deprecated to my discontent, but I cannot do
anything against it. :)

Anyway, the fix here concerns the upgrade path. The config script must
test if we come from a version strictly below 1:7.2.2-1. If this is the
case, then we must not ask the question. On the contrary, if we come
from a version above or equal to 1:7.2.2-1, we must ask the question.

It is nearly impossible to do otherwise. We cannot control the prerm
script from the old package which will forcefully stop the deamon.

Expect it to be fixed in 1:7.2.2-3. Well, I know it is too late
for you, but others will benefit of it for the sarge-to-etch
dist-upgrade... ;)

Can you do that after a first try with arch any to see whether it
builds/works or not? :)

Maybe upstream authors said that, because they have not tested it
elsewhere so far...

Well, I cannot reproduce it, but I believe you. I suppose this has to
do with #389439. I will upload hybserv 1.9.2-3 today and I strongly
think it will fix this.

In that case, I think it is appropriate, unlike the i18n/l10n folks

I would rather say:

  Presently, ntfs-3g is available for all Debian architectures.
  However, upstream says it only works for 32-bit little-endian
  systems.

Debconf templates should not use the first person, so I would say:

  Many users reported it to work like a charm on i386. Unfortunately,
  the behaviour on ANY OTHER ARCHITECTURES is unknown so far.

And here:

  TRY IT AT YOU OWN RISK! Please consider filing a bug report whether
  it works or not on other architectures.

It seems like an interesting package and I am considering it...
However, it needs pygame which is already in Debian, but also pydfb
which is not.

Bug#392649: ircd-hybrid: FTBFS on alpha: epoll_* syscall definitions changed since last build

2006-10-12 Thread Aurélien GÉRÔME
Hi alpha porters,

As I wrote in the bug report, I am turning around to find a fix. This
bug did not appear in the previous build from the same release. It
also does not appear on other architectures, because ircd-hybrid only
uses epoll on alpha as rtsigio does not work there.

Any help would be dearly appreciated. Thanks!

Well, upstream uses them, not me. :)

> Do you have a reference to why rtsigio is broken only on alpha?

The upstream package build system gives the choice between rtsigio
and epoll. By default, every architectures use rtsigio. However,
I made alpha use epoll for the following reason.

I did not file a bug report when I found it, but it appears in
the debian/changelog. I was fixing a FTBFS due to a va_list bug in
ircd-hybrid and I decided to really test whether ircd-hybrid ran on
an alpha machine. The IRC daemon was running fine, but when an IRC
client intended to connect, nothing happened (the same symptoms are
described in #281234, except for the kernel messages). I attached
the IRCd process to strace and got the following output.

# strace -p 17222
Process 17222 attached - interrupt to quit
gettimeofday({1160692603, 481665}, NULL) = 0
rt_sigtimedwait([IO RT_3], 0x120330c50) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
gettimeofday({1160692603, 984385}, NULL) = 0
rt_sigtimedwait([IO RT_3], 0x120330c50) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
gettimeofday({1160692604, 486254}, NULL) = 0
rt_sigtimedwait([IO RT_3], 0x120330c50) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
gettimeofday({1160692604, 988208}, NULL) = 0
rt_sigtimedwait([IO RT_3], 0x120330c50) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
gettimeofday({1160692605, 490120}, NULL) = 0
rt_sigtimedwait([IO RT_3], 0x120330c50) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
gettimeofday({1160692605, 992049}, NULL) = 0
rt_sigtimedwait([IO RT_3], 0x120330c50) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource
temporarily unavailable)
gettimeofday({1160692606, 493975}, NULL) = 0
rt_sigtimedwait([IO RT_3],  
Process 17222 detached

And so on indefinitely...

Here is the output of the IRC client on another host.

00:44 -!- Irssi: Looking up sardaukar
00:44 -!- Irssi: Connecting to sardaukar [10.0.0.9] port 6667
00:44 -!- Irssi: Connection to sardaukar established

And nothing more.

Hmm... When reproducing the case (after a rebuild with rtsigio) and
looking at the buildd logs for each architecture, I just found that
ircd-hybrid has been built with epoll on any architectures. I did a
stupid thing in the debian/rules... Anyway, I will do another upload
with rtsigio enabled for any architectures by default, but alpha will
not work anymore as stated above, so I will retitle this bug with
"Impossible to connect to IRC server on alpha" and lower the severity
to important. I think that it is still better than a RC bug. :)

Would you agree to supply such a binary package in the git-core source
package? In that case, I can prepare a patch to the current source

It is a preposterous argument, sysvinit scripts are the default in
Debian and a simple init script would not get you bug reports. Being
myself a maintainer of such packages in Debian, I am really amazed
to read such a statement.

>Didn't setting the initstyle of your vserver to 'plain' help?

No, I do not want to run a vserver with plain initstyle, only because
a random maintainer thinks sysvinit sucks. Moreover, one does not
need a true init environment in a vserver by default, so it is not
an acceptable workaround.

[Skip OT about "the-sysvinit-sucks stuff"...]

Yes, there is. You do not create yet another source package only for
an init script. It will probably never go through NEW for that reason.

>probably I personally wouldn't agree with the implementation of the init
>script, and service activation through /etc/default/, as submitted, as I

It is not a matter of you agreeing or not, nor it is a matter of I
not caring about other wannabe sysvinit implementations. The fact
is that Debian *currently* uses sysvinit by default and it works

Not necessarily, as you are using a chroot, the makedev package
is present inside by default just after debootstrapping. It also
provides a symlink from /dev/MAKEDEV to /sbin/MAKEDEV created by its
init script which is called by its postinst maintainer script.

To wit, makedev and udev conflict, so you have to make a choice.

If you choose to use udev in a chroot, you *have* to run it, otherwise
/dev/MAKEDEV will not exist and hence libraw1394 is bound to fail
without the raw1394 character device. Silently hiding the non-creation
of /dev/raw1394 is a bug and I advise the maintainer not to do so.

If you do not want to run udev in your chroot, please choose makedev
instead.

With udev, /dev/MAKEDEV is a symlink to /bin/true, so it actually
does nothing, as it is udev which will create the chardev if necessary.

However, with makedev, we must create the chardev, so I came up
with the attached patch which will launch MAKEDEV only if makedev
is installed.

Well, AFAICT, git-daemon-run can also be run either as a standalone
service from an /etc/init.d script or as an inetd/xinetd service.

It is actually the "kill -HUP 1" in the postinst of git-daemon-run
which is at fault.

As a matter of fact, I did not know runit before I setup my git
server and I was quite surprised that the git-daemon-run official
Debian package would not be setup to run either as standalone or as
an inetd/xinetd service.

Maybe would it be possible to switch it to a standalone server? I can
provide you a patch and a debconf question to do that, i.e. either
the actual behaviour with runit or a standalone server. Please tell
me your thoughts about it. :]

The original upstream tarball contains an already built bbe.html
documentation file. The first build runs fine, but when the clean
target is invoked, the file is then removed, leading to the FTBFS
during the second build.

Therefore, the control file is missing a build-dependency on texinfo
which provides the makeinfo utility. I have a new upstream release
to upload, so the file will be easily removed in the upstream tarball.

I agree.

Still the same old reason which hinders quite many other packages in
Debian: to wit, the incompatibiliy between the GPLv2 and the OpenSSL
license. The GPLv2 which ircd-hybrid is licensed under cannot be
altered to be compatible with the OpenSSL license, because too many
parties are involved.

Nevertheless, it seems the current GPLv3 will solve the licensing
conflict and, fortunately, ircd-hybrid is licensed under the GPLv2
*or later*. Therefore, when the GPLv3 will be officially released,
it will be possible to distribute an OpenSSL-enabled ircd-hybrid.

Sure thing. :]

Sorry, it was a mistake from my part, there is absolutely no relation
with Bug#421301 whatsoever; stupid me.


Besides, I fixed our current Bug#421341. Previously, pdftk used gcj-4.1
(4.1.1) currently in Lenny, but gcj-4.1 (4.1.2) recently got into
Sid. It seems that the behaviour of gcjh changed from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2,
so I fixed the makefiles accordingly. The patch which I will use in
the next upload is attached. Also, I will surely clean it up a bit,
as I have to upload a new upstream release anyway.


Unfortunately, even though pdftk now builds fine, it crashes at
runtime.

$ pdftk
libgcj failure: gcj linkage error.
Incorrect library ABI version detected.  Aborting.

The resulting pdftk binary is linked against:

  * libgcj.so.71 from the binary package libgcj7-1 coming from the
source package gcj-4.1 (4.1.2);

  * libstdc++.so.6 from the binary package libstdc++6 coming from
the source package gcc-4.2.

It seems that libgcj.so.71 does not agree to be linked with such
libstdc++.so.6. It is apparently due to an ABI mismatch between
libgcj.so.71 and libstdc++.so.6. Please see [1] for reference.
