Bug#346914: tuxtype: patch for the xlibs-transition
tags 346914 patch thanks Hi, attached is the patch to fix #346914. Actually I could just remove the obsolete build-dependency on xlibs-dev. I would be happy if you would sponsor this upload, Amaya. I have tested the build in a sid-pbuilder environment and tested the binary in fullscreen and in window mode. Hpf. Just before sending this mail, I'll looked into the changelog, to see when the last upload was. It was in 2002, so I've looked into the BTS and read about #315236 (orphaned) and #218908 (legal issues). So I don't think it's a good idea to upload the package now with only this patch applied - IMO it should either be fixed properly or removed. Also it's worth noting that debian-edu wants this package (see http://www.skolelinux.de/wiki/LernSoftware/RequestForPackaging). regards, Holger diff -u tuxtype-1.0/debian/changelog tuxtype-1.0/debian/changelog --- tuxtype-1.0/debian/changelog +++ tuxtype-1.0/debian/changelog @@ -1,3 +1,10 @@ +tuxtype (1.0-4.1) unstable; urgency=low + + * Non-maintainer upload + * removed unneccessary dependency on xlibs-dev (Closes: #346914) + + -- Holger Levsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue, 17 Jan 2006 18:42:19 + + tuxtype (1.0-4) unstable; urgency=medium * Updated Build-Depends: to include automake, autoconf and m4 (Closes: diff -u tuxtype-1.0/debian/control tuxtype-1.0/debian/control --- tuxtype-1.0/debian/control +++ tuxtype-1.0/debian/control @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ Priority: optional Maintainer: Rune B.

Bug#475036: removal doesnt seem an option atm, or?
Hi, today there are still two packages depending on kernel-package, cdfs-src and linux-2.6. dphys-kernel-packages has beem removed from sid and lenny. cdfs-src suffers from #482075, so it might be a removal candidate too. linux-2.6 build-depends on kernel-package (= 10.063). If the code still uses kernel-package, and I have no reason to not believe the control file, removal of kernel-package is not really an option at this time. So far I think/thought this bug (#475036) should be tagged lenny-ignore but on a 2nd read of it, I'm not so sure anymore: kernel-package has users who like it and rely on it, but yet it's broken on recent kernels... regards, Holger pgpumjOCM1RGR.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi Christian, I don't understand why you reassigned this bug to general. Surely, if you want to discuss this with debian-devel@ you can cc: the list. Reassigning the bug to general often achieves nothing (which cannot be achieved by cc:ing) while it tends to pile up the list of general bugs and get forgotten.

This is an integration wishlist. It has to happen at the distribution level if it is to happen anywhere. I don't understand why you want to close this issue---the logic seems to be just that it's hard to address, but that doesn't seem like a very compelling reason. And I don't see how it can be filed against any (or many) particular packages---it is an issue that requires policy and coordination between many packages, and hence belongs on Package: general. As said, feel free to reopen. And, as usual.., are you willing to work on this goal? Also IMO it's not really about integration (yet). First, some general plan and then an implementation needs to be found, maybe within freedesktop.org, maybe not. Then, packages would need to be changed to implement this plan. And then a mass bug filing could be done, if there is consensus on debian-devel@ that this should be done. In the bug report I read no consensus _and_ no activity since 5 years.

Bug#499707: please merge LWAT and DHCP machine objects in LDAP

Date: Tuesday 05 August 2008 20:24 From: Petter Reinholdtsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] With the introduction of DHCP configuration in LDAP, we also introduced a new kind of machine object in LDAP. The way our LDAP currently is structured these machine objects are not seen by LWAT, and machine objects created by LWAT are not seen by the DHCP server. Someone should look into merging the two. I suspect the DHCP server can be told to look for dhcpHost objects in the entire LDAP three, and then we can extend LWAT to create and maintain them. But I am not sure, and someone need to test if this is possible. We could also write a script to create machine objects automatically in LDAP based on the information collected by sitesummary. This way, new machines could automatically show up in LDAP and the admin only need to assign the new machine to groups, instead of having to track down IP and MAC addresses. One issue to look at is if it is possible to allow completely automatic update in LDAP using a sitesummary hook. If that is possible, new hosts could show up almost immediately after installation. Another thing to keep in mind is how machine objects will work if we move the DNS server to fetch its configuration from LDAP too. Any volunteers to work on this? It should be solved before we release the Lenny based Skolelinux version. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen --- -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: Re: Merge LWAT and DHCP machine objects in LDAP?

I'm not sure if it's possible to add more than a couple of objects, due to limitations in the schemas, but I've not tried. By now (if my memory is correct) LWAT creates an object which combines netgroup with samba domain-member (which is actually a user object). I've not tried to combine DHCP-info with an existing machine object, but I think I tried to combine a DHCP-object and a DNS object (to be used with pdns), and it failed. But I'm still testing this.

If we grant access per subnet, clients on those subnets will work out of the box without any updates to LDAP. If we grant it using netgroups, the host need to be added to LDAP before it can get on the net.

The server would in all normal situation be behind a firewall, and therefor all hosts that can reach the proxy would be on the local subnet.

Bug#499709: please get rid of hardcoded IP numbers in the squid.conf file

Subject: Getting rid of hardcoded IP numbers in the squid.conf file?
Date: Tuesday 05 August 2008 17:48
From: Petter Reinholdtsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
At the moment, very few services in Skolelinux uses hardcoded IP
addresses. Each and every one of these make it harder to change to
use a different IP subnet for the Skolelinux network.
The services I am aware of are
- DNS (/etc/bind/debian-edu/*)
- DHCP (LDAP)
- Squid (/etc/squid/squid.conf)
- CUPS (/etc/cups/cups.conf)
- tcp-wrapper (/etc/hosts.{allow,deny})
I doubt we will be able to drop IP addresses from DHCP and DNS, but we
should try to get rid of them for the others. This email is about
Squid.
At the moment, we specify the range of IP addresses allowed to talk to
the Squid server in squid.conf. Recently I have become aware of the
support in squid for 'external' ACL providers. We could easily write
such external ACL provider that look up the subnet in LDAP and grant
access based on the content in LDAP instead of hardcoding it in the
configuration file. For this to work, we need to add subnet
information in LDAP.
I found URL:http://devel.squid-cache.org/external_acl/ documenting
the original project to add support for external ACL providers. It
got a reference to a script to authenticate users and IP addresses.
We could probably use it as a starting point.
Anyone know of any well defined specification for storing subnet
information in LDAP? I know AD got a subnet schema, ref
URL: http://www.grotan.com/ldap/microsoft.schema . Perhaps we could
use some ideas from there?
LDAP objects like this would work:
dn: dn=10.0.2.0/23,cn=subnets,dc=skole,dc=skolelinux,dc=no
objectClass: top
objectclass: subnet
cn=10.0.2.0/23
We could configure the external ACL provider to accept all subnets
registered in LDAP. This would make it trivial to add access for more
subnets.
Happy hacking,

There are a number of high-level approaches that could be taken, and it is unclear which would be most sensible. (Library, like papersize? Executable, like tempfile? Location network server and protocol?) But at root, we should recognize that this is not a very hard problem; merely a tedious one.

package: libnss-ldapd severity: wishlist Hi Arthur, is libnss-ldapd a fork of the libnss-ldap package or upstream fork? libnss-ldapd uses a different versioning scheme than nss-ldap, so I'm a bit lost evaluating whether you incorporate upstream fixes or not, and if, how... Your upstream changelog only lists the 252 release of nss-ldap in the beginning and then thats it. Originally I simply wanted to ask you this question, but now I've decided to file it as a wishlist bug, as I think the description should be made clearer to answer this question :) regards, Holger pgptHf3tLq8pc.pgp Description: PGP signature

-- Forwarded Message -- Subject: Using OCS Inventory in Debian Edu? Date: Sunday 13 July 2008 18:39 From: Petter Reinholdtsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The last few weeks, the ocsinventory packages has been installed by default in the Lenny based Debian Edu. This is because it was recommended by the admins in Extremadura, as a possible replacement for sitesummary. There are a few issues that need to be resolved before this can be part of the final release: - The server is impossible to install automatically using debian-installer. It require mysql to be _running_ at install time, and d-i do not allow any daemons to start in /target/ during installation. Reported to the maintainer as #489461. - How should the clients locate the server? I suspect we want a new service name DNS alias, a SRV record or some broadcast method to find it, to avoid hardcoding setup on the clients. Any suggestions? We use 'sitesummary' as the DNS alias for the sitesummary collector. Perhaps 'ocsinventory' as a DNS alias is good enough? At the moment the client ask for the server name because no preseeding is done to set it. I want to keep it that way until we find a solution, to make sure we do not forget the issue. If no solution to the installation issue is found, we need to drop the package from the default installation.
