We provide miboot images at the moment, we have done so in the past, so I don't see why we can't provide them for releases. Of course, we as in debian main can't provide them, so they need to be available in some other place, which should be mentioned in a README.

Hi, the information Wouter started to collect is now available on http://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ (As part of my NM process Anthony Towns requested me to provide the documentation requested in this bug.) To make the above mentioned URL more visible I suggest to put this information in http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-porter-automation at section 5.10.3.3 and also to create a new section at the of http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-resources.en.html - I would call it 4.12 Information about the buildd network which would just be a pointer to 5.10.3.3.

Cool.
There's a TODO note about this in quik-installer. Could you try editing
/var/lib/dpkg/info/quik-installer.postinst before quik-installer runs
and removing this if block to see if everything then runs smoothly?
I rewrote the checks a bit and attached the diff to trunk.
With the attached postinst it works (quik gets installed), but I ran into
#376012 - so quik-installer still doesnt run successfully.
* adjusted the partition checks to match with current quik version
(Closes: #321820)
* if /boot is a seperate partition, quik.conf needs to reside in

* TODO: to new strings, not yet in po:

quik-installer/boot_not_on_first_disk '/boot not on first disk'
I could not figure out how to insert those strings into templates.pot :(

Hi, I've included the remaining suggestions in the powerpc manual (en/hardware/supported/powerpc.xml) except for the last part about the Nubus machines as I feel that information is not completly correct. It lists the powermac 4400 as a nubus machine, which is wrong, which I know very well, because I own such a machine. Also I restructured the document a bit, that is, I put the list of unsupported machines in the end, cause it doesn't make sense to list them first :) While working on it, I noticed quite a few of the newer machines are not listed at all, but I think we should commit this patch as it is and fix that later.

Unfortunatly I dont have access to Mac-Hardware atm, so I cannot say if this the right key-combination or Ctrl-Alt-Fn-Backspace (or possibly Ctrl-Command-Fn-Backspace, depending on the keymap) or both/all three.

The session close complains about an openoffice component being left open when openoffice has never been touched. I'm not sure whether this is worth cloning the bug as well.

Noone wants to work under pressure, especially in a volunteer project.

I don't see, what this has to do with it. How would I put it? Lack of motivation, be considered as nothing, etc... I understand, but... But anyway, you're only waiting for an advocate for five weeks and the number of AMs is lower than the number of people in NM - so this is quite natural. No, I am not, I am stalled in NM by Christoph Berg. from your reply (and Frans too) it seems you haven't asked Christoph if he's willing to reevalute the sitation or how he came to that conclusion in the first place. Because, the procedure you're in is new, checking if NMs have done any work before, has only been done like this since very recently. So if you would have given feedback, maybe the form-mail can be improved - I guess it says something like we've put you on hold, please inform us if you think this is not correct or not correct anymore - but maybe the last sentence is missing or whatever. But, whining doesnt help for sure. Especially in an unrelated thread. It is much more likely to bring you into a bad light then to actually change that situation. That said, I dont understand the comment on your application (on hold until 2006-11 waiting for visible activity) either, if you maintain 11 packages in debian :-) Did you ask Myon why he made that comment? Because there is no so-called visible activity of me on mailing-lists, on Google, and on the BTS... I still fail to see why I cannot be in the state waiting for AM which I would be satisfied with if it was the case... Disclaimer: I'm in NM myself too :) But as said before: if only you had asked instead of complaining. I guess the answer is simple: the distinction is done, to make Frontdesk life easier: NMs marked on hold and waiting for AM are both waiting for AM, only that those on hold are not ready yet. (And thus don't need to be considered when a spare ressource, an AM, becomes available.) If Christoph would have thought you're not suited (yet) to become a DD you would have got the status rejected. But you're on hold and you've picked up packages since then. Whooohoo! Tell that to frontdesk, instead of complaining!! As said: this is a more or less educated guess. I asked Christian Perrier to add my account to the d-i Alioth project to work on miboot targets and miboot-installer. You don't need an account to do the work. The svn allows anonymous checkouts, so you can work on it and provide patches, which other people will hapily commit (with crediting you) if they work. I very certainly would/will. Oh, come on, I hope you will not ask me to send patches like a dog following his master, as d-i people did with Sven... Oh come on, do you really think you made a good impression with that comment. I would say the opposite is true :( They are 149 d-i members, why can it not be 150? Most all of them sent many patches before they got commit access. There are exceptions, but the general rule is like this. To give one prominent example: g-i was pretty usable before the first commit to svn was allowed. OK, thanks to put it that way, so I am awaiting an account to work on miBoot support in Debian Installer. Don't just wait. Do useful work and you will see people will come to you, asking you to join. But without evidence, that a.) you work well and b.) you work well in this team, it's quite unlikely you will get access just because you asked. Or you might explain what you could do with svn _write_ access what you cannot do now. But I asked you that in the previous mail already :) If you need help with building d-i (do you want svn write access to use the autobuild-feature?) or testing (do you

So do need, debian-edu-config in etch at the moment or can this package be removed (esp. from the radar of people working on releasing etch in time..)? solution. My goal is to release debian-edu/etch fairly quickly after etch releases in desember. :) Great. But with the package from our (=debian-edu) archive?! And we're not integrated into the main d-i atm also, which _might_ be more unlikely to fix until the release anyway. What do you mean? Our udeb integrates very nicely into the main d-i framework. There are some minor bugs left, but in general, it is doing quite well. I mean, that the debian d-i (in it's released state on the official etch cds or whatever medium) provides no means to load the debian-edu-config udeb. For etch+1 I would be very happy to see a official debian dvd with capabilities (select install, installgui, expert, skolelinux, debian-med...) to (also) install CDDs (and not only pure debian), which can only use packages from main, obviously. Maybe this constraint is too much to make it useful in etch+1, or maybe unofficial (from debians POV) DVDs are the way to go then. regards, Holger pgpnsNnZ5IfFh.pgp Description: PGP signature

(the first sentence of the rationale) doesnt imply exclusivly site specific
Jul 24 11:54:45 h01gerand i also agree, the paragraph about /srv in
FHS is to short and unspecific :)
Jul 24 11:57:31 vorloner, of course it implies exclusively
site-specific
Jul 24 12:01:13 h01gerhow does this match with footnote 20?
Jul 24 12:05:01 vorlonuh... footnote 20 sounds like a grant of
permission to shoot ourselves in the foot which we should politely
decline. ;)
Jul 24 12:06:52 h01ger.oO( boring ;)
Jul 24 12:35:07 ajhrm?
Jul 24 12:35:15 aji wrote most of what the fhs has to say about /srv, i
think
Jul 24 12:35:55 ajmostly it should be dealt with like we deal
with /usr/local, i would've though -- mkdir to make directories, and rmdir ||
true to get rid of them
Jul 24 12:44:55 * h01ger nods. ic. so maybe some more clarification in
the next version of the FHS would be good :)
Jul 24 13:28:51 Mithrandiraj: /usr/local has a defined structure, /srv
doesn't though.
Jul 24 13:29:29 ajMithrandir: the distro can define a structure; but
just like /usr/local, it's got to cope with the administrator possibly
deciding on their own structure instead
Jul 24 13:31:08 Mithrandiraj: apart from the fact that we haven't
decided on a structure and people are using it already, so assuming a
particular structure there now would make us step on toes
.
Jul 24 13:31:53 MithrandirI know of at least two different structures in
use, /srv/{www,ftp,gopher,mail,...} and /srv/{domain1,domain2}/{www,ftp,...}
Jul 24 13:32:19 ajMithrandir: sure
Jul 24 13:32:55 ajMithrandir: you can define a template structure on an
initial install up to a point -- as per /var/www or /var/cvs or whatever
Jul 24 13:33:36 Mithrandiron an initial install, sure.

The package doesnt build on alpha anymore as I removed the 2.4 kernels and there were no alpha users providing me with a tested 2.6 config.

Bug#377972: sid-daily and gtk-miniiso on a pismo notebook (powerpc) - some of general remarks
package: installation-reports Hi, on Saturday, July 1st, we also tested d-i on pismo notebook (also know as g3 firewire see http://www.apple-history.com/body.php?page=gallerymodel=pg3sfirewireperforma=offsort=dateorder=ASC), The 20060630mini.iso gui-started, crashed, looped. (The mouse pointer also had a square background.) The 20060701 from wouter builds gui-started and froze, with video=ofonly looped (similar to the 20060630mini.iso) The daily build from 2006-06-30 non-gtk worked, and had a blue background during installation :) In configure network all network devices were detected, the wireless one is labeled as 802.x, so it's recognizable (as opposed to the non recognizable firewire ethernet...) - and it was selected automatically as no cable was connected, nice! Interestingly only the left alt-key (with the need for also using the fn-button) worked to switch the consoles..., but after the installation all is normal, that is both alt-keys are fine for switching consoles and the fn-key is not needed. Another thing that strangely only happend once (we had to restart many times as the battery was empty and the power supply flaky...): during configure harddisc a menu for pcmcia options pops up. This is slightly confusing, because though the machine has pcmcia, there were no pcmcia cards used (and therefore also no pcmcia harddrives in the machine.) Then we were not asked if we wanted to create a normal user. Also I noted that I didnt have to select a kernel to be installed, nice. With the miboot-floppies i need to select a kernel for the final system. The german select mirror templates are translated inconsistently: einen Netzwerkspiegel verwenden and Land the Debian-Archiv-Spiegelservers. (Besides that I'm still unconvinced that Netzwerkspiegel and Spiegelserver are useful translations...) From popularity-contest question on (til the end IIRC) there were localisation issues: the titles of the text-boxes were not translated, the content was. The laptop-task was preselected, yay - nice! The download-progress bar is very nice too, but unfortunatly there is no cancel button. (Which sucks, when you select the desktop task and are not aware how much you need to download for this and dont have that much time at the moment...) The rest of the installation went fine, the system booted into linux. (I plan to repeat this test with a macos9 and another one with a macosx installation, which should be kept, as well.) But the system time was set incorrectly to January 1st, 1904. I will visit him again in the end of July or beginning of August, to repeat these tests. Then I will also make sure to send the report immediatly, to remember some details (like the exact symptoms/errors with the gtk-image) better. regards, Holger processor : 0 cpu : 740/750 temperature : 43-45 C (uncalibrated) clock : 500MHz revision: 131.0 (pvr 0008 8300) bogomips: 995.32 machine : PowerBook3,1 motherboard : PowerBook3,1 MacRISC2 MacRISC Power Macintosh detected as : 70 (PowerBook Pismo) pmac flags : 001f L2 cache: 1024K unified memory : 1024MB pmac-generation : NewWorld :00:0b.0 Host bridge: Apple Computer Inc.

Bug#377971: sid-daily and gtk-miniiso on a iMac G5 (powerpc)
package: installation-reports Hi, on Saturday, July 1st, I tested d-i on an iMac G5 (http://www.apple-history.com/?page=gallerymodel=imac_g5performa=offsort=dateorder=ASC), which has a PPC970FX cpu with 1.8 ghz. As the owner (he's a OSX fan...) didn't really want to install linux on it, we went for stopping at the partitioning step :-) The gtk20060630mini.iso didn't had a install64 boot image, so it didnt boot. Colin had daily build gtk images (also powerpc64 ones), it booted, but they endlessly looped with a directfb error message. So we then booted the daily build netinst from 2006-06-30 cd image with install64. From the beginning the background screen was red, not blue. The module usbkbd not found at the end of boot. The network detection found 2 ethernet interfaces (wired ethernet and firewire, wireless was not found (airport-extreme/bcm43xx only available in =2.6.17)), but there was no indication which interface is which. (If there is no bug for this already I would consider this as valuable to track and fix.) This is a usability issue. Also the user was surprised that all drives were labeled as scsi in partman, while in reality they where sata (internal) and three external firewire. Again, a usability issue - I guess this has been reported already? There we stopped and rebooted. Surprisingly his custom boot logo (he replaced the apple image which shows up right after powering on with something else) was gone!

I don't think you are correct: In http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/fhs/fhs-2.3.html#SRVDATAFORSERVICESPROVIDEDBYSYSTEM the last sentence about /srv says: --begin quote - Distributions must take care not to remove locally placed files in these directories without administrator permission.

Bug#292280: integrating d-i components
Hi, I would suggest to at least tag this bug wontfix, though I wonder if just closing it wont be better: fai uses existing debian packages whereever possible. udebs (debian installer components) are just minimized packages. So fai and d-i already _do_ share ressources where it is appropriate. Then there are also d-i specific udebs, not descending from normal debian packages. Those are very d-i specific (use debconf frontend, intergrate in the d-i menu and similar), so they are not suited to be integrated with fai. So, I think this bug can be closed (and not marked wontfix) as fai and d-i use the same ressources (like discover, debootstrap, etc.) when it's useful. But I'll leave closing the bug to Thomas. regards, Holger pgpgpycBXeTSF.pgp Description: PGP signature
Bug#346304: close this bug?!
Hi, I've just read all the communication in this bugreport. It's correct, you need to specifiy the release code names (sid not unstable) to debootstrap.

Also Henning is right, that (usually) you cannot install sid with the debootstrap from sarge.

Bug#379176: E: foo: non-standard-toplevel-dir srv/ is policy not an error
Hi, On Saturday 22 July 2006 17:35, you wrote: How can that be reconciled with: The methodology used to name subdirectories of /srv is unspecified as there is currently no consensus on how this should be done. One method for structuring data under /srv is by protocol, eg. ftp, rsync, www, and cvs. On large systems it can be useful to structure /srv by administrative context, such as /srv/physics/www, /srv/compsci/cvs, etc. This setup will differ from host to host. Therefore, no program should rely on a specific subdirectory structure of /srv existing or data necessarily being stored in /srv. However /srv should always exist on FHS compliant systems and should be used as the default location for such data. I don't see any way that shipping files under /srv in a Debian package would be consistent with the second-to-last sentence above. I do. But I think this is getting out of scope of this bug :) Maybe the FHS should be reworded, but definitly linda should not announce this as an error. apache might ship with DocumentRoot in /srv/www - but apache must also work, if you modify this. You might have many DocumentRoots, in /srv/webserver/foo and in /srv/webserver/foo2...

Bug#379176: E: foo: non-standard-toplevel-dir srv/ is policy not an error
Hi, On Saturday 22 July 2006 18:34, you wrote: Yes, and if you ship files in /srv, then your package is creating and insisting upon a particular structure in /srv. Even if the binaries in the package don't insist, the *package* is insisting. Yup. That's a structure my package created. Obviously I can depend on that. This is different to a structure the FHS mandates, like for example in /var: in /var you can rely on /var/lib, /var/log, ... - there is no such structure the FHS mandates for /srv. That's what is ment with that sentence. If the local administrator decides they want to organize /srv differently, your files get in the way. If they delete them or move them, every time the package is upgraded, they're re-installed. To me, that seems to break the point that the above paragraph is driving at. Not to me :) I agree it's annoying, but it's the same as today with say, /var/www. If I delete it, because I use /srv/www, an upgrade of apache recreates that directory, while it doesnt change my config. Certainly, I can see shipping configuration that points to /srv for local data by default, and even a postinst that creates an initial structure in /srv for the package if this is the first install, but putting the files directly in the package seems to me to be forcing more structure than is allowed here. So you agree that the lintian error is wrong :) Maybe we should take this to debian-policy and see what other folks think? Sure. Go ahead. And thanks for caring! I could be wrong and I'm happy to change lintian accordingly if the consensus is that I'm wrong. Obviously I could be wrong as well... ;) regards, Holger pgpVdk6QJswjY.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi, please stop this discussion about buggy ubuntu here, the bug is long enough already and we should rather concentrate on fixing it and all its blockers, instead of trying to fix this issue. As I read it, the user either (re!)installed Debian over Ubuntu and now he complains he got Debian... ;) Or: hermanr The suggested fix from the guy at #ubuntu-devel was to rip out the config bits from the debian-edu packages, as they were based on assumptions about stock Debian. - which would mean, the user installed Ubuntus debian-edu packages and they are so broken, that they turn a Ubuntu system into something strange+broken... But this would also mean, this is offtopic here. And if the second possibility is true, or even if not, I wonder why there are debian-edu* packages in Ubuntu anyway. AFAIK Edubuntu doesnt use them...

Bug#444028: boom again
Hi, how can I work around this problem? I care more about my work than the hardware, which _might_ be damaged (my work gets damaged for sure with these shutdowns), so I definitly want to suspend in this case, not shutdown. regards, Holger, having lost work again due to this bug. pgprESvIHILqh.pgp Description: PGP signature
Bug#467650: Processed: Re: Bug#467650: debian-edu: Downloads things, does not clean up after itself.
Hi Andreas, On Thursday 28 February 2008 14:54, Andreas Tille wrote: Uhmm, Kurt could you please do us a favour... I cloned the bug, Kurt didnt do it :) As I said in my last comment to #467650 I would like to reassign the problem to cdd-dev and close the bug by with the apt-get dependency. If you don't agree please add some more detailed explanation what exactly your problem is. As I read the bug report, there were three issues. As some were easier to fix than others, I decided to clone the bug to reflect this. Otherwise I feared the most critical issue would be fixed and the rest forgotten (as its a pretty easy thing to add a build-depends :) And as easy as it is to clone bug, it's easy to close them :-) regards, Holger pgpdS0wQ1guyU.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi, On Thursday 28 February 2008 16:34, Andreas Tille wrote: Well, #467650 should be against cdd-dev and it is in fact fixed on my local hard-disk. If cdd-dev depends from apt-get this problem is very easy to solve. Cheers. Also #468346 would be very easy to solve - we would just loose a feature which is seldomly used. You need to be able to build without network. Otherwise the source package doesnt contain all the sources needed to build the binary - DFSG violation. Hmmm, thinking twice about it we could perhaps do even better and do not create the debian/control file at package building time but do this when building the debian-edu source tarball. I have to sleep about this. So there are chances to fix this - but I'm not convinced that this is a real bug. I'm keen on hearing comments from Kurt. Sounds good to me. Sleep well :) regards, Holger pgpNU2zev9aws.pgp Description: PGP signature
Bug#370351: Make etc/sysctl.conf automatically configurable
Hi Craig, can you please comment on this bug and the proposed solution by Raphael, which looks sensible to me? (And which is important to have implemented for CDDs.) Otherwise I'd probably will prepare a proper (as in suited for NMU) patch, send it to the BTS and then I'll upload to delayed-7 or such. But I'd definitly prefer to hear your opinion on this matter first! The freeze is getting closer... :) regards, Holger pgp3nay26OADp.pgp Description: PGP signature
Bug#468766: dirac files crash totem
package: schroedinger version: 1.0.0-1 severity: important Hi, first of all, let me thank you for packaging schroedinger so quickly! Yesterday I tried it on a amd64 sid machine with dv files from FOSDEM. I've used oggconvert to do the encoding from dv to dirac and the encoding process worked fine. Then, when I've used totem to play this file, totem just crashed. Yesterday it gave an error, today it didnt. With the same file. Strange. I've tried two different (PAL) dv files and both crashed totem when converted to dirac. Encoding the same files with oggconvert to theora and playing it in totem didnt lead to a crash, so I believe the source dv files are fine. I filed the bug against the schroedinger source package, as it provides gstreamer0.10-schroedinger - though the bug may very well be in libschroedinger-1.0-0 or maybe it _is_ a true gstreamer bug? regards, Holger pgpjUj9AcWwlX.pgp Description: PGP signature

One million something, I suck, I know...
OTOH, please find attached (filters permitting) a rot13 encoded patch
that brings the game into the 21st century, by adding Va to the list
