Bug#862884: Please upload

2018-07-10 Thread Matthew Wilcox
As a result of this patch not being applied, I couldn't connect my
laptop to my employer's VPN (because I run testing, and this package
isn't available in testing).

Applying the patch and building it locally worked fine.



Bug#486478: Where's the build log?

2008-06-23 Thread Matthew Wilcox

I went to buildd.debian.net and I don't see the build log for this
package.  And the [0] reference doesn't seem to have been filled in in
the original mail.  How very strange.

That's OK, I was just a bit perturbed at not being able to find the
build logs in the system.  It's a bit odd the way it's built.

Here's the failing line:

But look at this:

$ grep pci_set_consistent_dma_mask include/linux/*
include/linux/pci.h:int pci_set_consistent_dma_mask(struct pci_dev *dev, u64 
mask);

$ grep pci.h et131x_initpci.c

The only way I can see this happening is if CONFIG_PCI isn't set.  But
as far as I can tell, this driver is PCI only, so it should be disabled
for non-PCI builds.

We know s390 doesn't have PCI ;-)  Hell, it doesn't have MMIO, IO ports
... anyway, it should be disabled for s390.

Grave?  Are you serious?

Anyway, I have 0.10 prepared with an init script.  I just need to upload
it, which won't happen until I'm physically reunited with my gpg secret
key, which will be in approximately 2 weeks.

In the meantime you can download some untrustable packages from
http://people.debian.org/~willy/kerneloops/

(feel free to verify the orig.tar.gz matches upstream and the contents
of the diff.gz, then rebuild it yourself).

 Has there been any progress on this bug?  I'd need to use gdb on ia64. :/

I have to confess that once I built gdb from CVS, I got distracted with

I hit the same problem as the buildd and Kurt.  Since I need something
more recent than gdb 6.5 in order to handle current ia64 executables, I
tried to run it anyway.  It's not pretty:

 If you have some time to look at this, could you try building a

Much better:

 Well, this sounds very reasonable in dead.

 As expected fine on i386 and probably better than before on any other.
 So if you commit that it compiles on ia64 chances seems to be good for
 any other, IMHO.

The thing is, it doesn't even build on i386.  So I don't understand how
you uploaded it.

TBH, this looks like you have a misdeclaration in stubs.c.  The

Bug#379982: Misuse of alternatives

2006-07-26 Thread Matthew Wilcox
Package: git
Version: 4.3.20-8
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.1

10.1 Binaries

Two different packages must not install programs with different
functionality but with the same filenames. (The case of two programs
having the same functionality but different implementations is handled via
alternatives or the Conflicts mechanism. See Maintainer Scripts,
Section 3.9 and Conflicting binary packages - Conflicts, Section
7.3 respectively.) If this case happens, one of the programs must be
renamed. The maintainers should report this to the debian-devel mailing
list and try to find a consensus about which program will have to be
renamed. If a consensus cannot be reached, both programs must be renamed.

 Usually I think this would be solved with a pre-depend, but obviously
 we do not want to use one here.
 I think that just text -x MAKEDEV is an acceptable solution.
 Any other comments?

I think it can always rely on /sbin/MAKEDEV being there.

 It's time to start making the changes needed in a world where makedev is
 optional and udev is required.

That seems premature.  Right now, ppp is broken and won't install on sid
because of this change.  It would have worked fine with /sbin/MAKEDEV
because makedev (being required) is configured and installed before ppp.

So could you revert this change and use /sbin/MAKEDEV instead for the
moment, then work with whoever needs to care to make udev a required
package?

ppp's postinst script seems to have changed between 2.4.4b1-1.diff.gz and

Bug#278479: reverted

2006-04-20 Thread Matthew Wilcox

Hi.  I've reverted this change as I believe it's based on a flawed
interpretation of the FHS.  Please see
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=10004256forum_id=3128

The comment about debsums indicating that the file has changed is
entirely correct.  That's called working as designed:

   debsums is intended primarily as a way of  determining  what  installed
   files  have  been  locally  modified by the administrator or damaged by
   media errors and is of limited use as a security tool.

Running update-pciids counts as 'locally modified by the administrator'
to me.

The code was previously:

We're trying to flush kernel space at this point, so we can use any of
sr4-sr7.   I suspect before we were putting sr0 in, which could have
been flushing any random space instead of the one we wanted.  I'll
commit this change to the kernel source now.

 I've committed a fix to binutils head.  The above should now be

 avoid using this feature for awhile.  It looks like the bug has
 been present since ~ 1996.

This is in a file that's used on pa1.1 processors too, so I've gone with
specifying sr4 explicitly.  Thanks for fixing this bug and exposing our

 To my knowledge the affected machines/architecures are currently

It's all hppa machines, not just hppa64.

 I've prepared the necessary backports and some rudimentary documentation

 If a driver hangs the system when loaded, it is a good hint of a kernel

I think de4x5 should be a driver of last resort.  Tulip should always
be preferred to drive a given piece of hardware.  I wouldn't shed any
tears if we stopped shipping de4x5 by default -- it's caused no end of

I think you have that backwards.  de4x5 *doesn't* work on hppa whereas
