I Just produced some new images, the main difference being that the binary 
disks have main -- hamm links in debian/hamm, and they have the latest 
pakages on them, as of a couple of hours ago.

See:   http://www.uk.debian.org/debian-cd/

and the version of AJ's files I made them with are here:

Re: rsync vs. ftp usage

1998-06-20 Thread Philip Hands
 is rsync realy so good ?

The only real problem with it for this use, is that if the link dies 
completely, I think rsync discards the partial image.

Other than that, it is muck more likely to result in a bit-for-bit copy of the 
original than ftp, and if you've got the space for two copies of an image, it 
will update an old one to the latest much faster than trnsfering the whole lot.

I'll ask Andrew Tridgell if the partial file thing can be made optional.

Cheers, Phil.

OK then, just to recap -- US/Central was off by an hour (giving me
Eastern instead of Central time when syncing with xntp3).

Here is my etc/init.d/hwclock.sh:

GMT=-u

then
echo 0.0 0 0.0  /etc/adjtime

 I'm pretty sure you are mistaken, Dale.  I seriously doubt that there

 FYI, the US/{Eastern,Central,Mountain,Pacific} timezones do use DST
 and the US/{Arizona,East-Indiana,Hawaii} timezones don't.  I'm not
 sure about the others, but I'd bet that they are correct also.

Re: RFC: worth packaging apache-modperl ?

1998-06-20 Thread Dan Jacobowitz
Will do, then.  This leaves me one big question, though.  This is going
to require mixing four things:
(A) apache 1.3.0
(B) netgod's massive apache diff
(C) mod_perl upstream -- probably going to version it by date and use
the CVS tree instead of the rarer new releases.
(D) My own diff for this project.

Any ideas on how to handle this?  dpkg still doesn't handle multiple
source tarballs so I'll probably have to make an orig containing apache
and mod_perl,, and just use netgod's diff as the basis for mine.  Or I
could apply his diff to the orig since it's not my work, and work on
top of that.

Slightly puzzled.

Hopefully, rsync will allow you to take advantage of the image you already

take a while.  (I'd like to hear what sort of stats you get.)

If you recorded the CD multisession (see /usr/doc/cdrecord/README.multi),
you may be able to add the:

  ln -s hamm debian/hamm/main

and mkhybrid keep segfaulting on me when I try to build the second session :-(

binary-i386 CD autoup

1998-06-20 Thread Philip Hands
Hi,

It struck me as important that the autoup stuff go on the CDROM image, so I've 
added it to the root directory in a directory called autoup.

This contains the 8MB tarball, as well as the script and readme etc.
so we shouldn't have problems with version skew between autoup.sh and
the main archive.

I've just remade the image at:

  http://www.uk.debian.org/debian-cd/

and the new cd-builder script tarball is here:

  http://www.open.com/~phil/debian/debian-hamm-cdrom-0.12-pgh-2.tar.gz

I'm away for the rest of the weekend, but I'll set up a cron job to rebuild 
the images after the mirror runs, which should mean the new images turn up 
at about 05:00 GMT.

I'm running the mirror/image generator now just to check it out, it should be 
done before 10:00 GMT.

Cheers, Phil.

IMHO the main problem currently the installation procedure with CD-ROM,
since the distribution doesn't fit on one CD-ROM.

As far as I know nobody (but me) has made any attempt to solve this.
I'm currently testing a multi-CD installation.

About handling multi-CD with other methods I don't know anything.  No

Proposal, new system for dealing with non-us stuff

1998-06-20 Thread Gregory S. Stark

Here's an idea for another way to deal with non-us stuff that should be less
error-prone and make it easier to implement some new features.

I would like to see each package include an Excluded header listing country
codes the package should be excluded from. The header could be used in several
steps to get packages to the rights places.

some ideas of how to make use of this information:

1) A single control file could contain all the packages and debhelper/dupload
could automatically exclude non-us packages when building on a US build engine
or build them all but segregate the restricted packages and upload them where
they belong.

2) A complete archive could contain all the files, but generate file
excluded.us, excluded.fr, etc. which mirrors could use to exclude the
appropriate files.

3) The US archive could still contain the complete Packages file, but APT
could be made aware of which exclusions each archive follows and choose one
that should have a given package. In fact the US archive could be a complete
mirror except for the files listed in the excluded.us file.

A further refinement might be virtual domains like crypto, weak-crypto,
crypto-authentication. Which would avoid problems if new countries ban crypto
or existing ones change their laws. 

Maybe this isn't important enough compared to having apt/dselect deal with
source packages, but the current situation just seems awkward and i think we
could do a lot better.

[ I've sent this to debian-policy but Bcc'd debian-devel. 
  Further discussion should continue on debian-polcy. ]

This is very strange, as US/Central and CST6CDT are both links to

The 2.0.7pre3 (which I have currently installed) seems to have these

The important thing is, if the hardware clock is set to UTC, then the init
script should set the GMT variable to -u (Possibly --utc?). If the
hardware clock is set to Local Time, then GMT should be set to .

With these two issues properly sync'd things should work properly.

Luck,

Dwarf

Intent to package Glade, Glademm

1998-06-20 Thread Marcus Brinkmann

Hello!

Glade is a GUI builder for gtk, Glademm the extension for Gtk--.

I would like to work on them. First upload is not likely to come today or
tomorrow --- both packages are in very early development stage. I think as
soon as Glademm is updated to work with newest version of Glade, uploading
it becomes useful.

fltk anyone? + packaging questions

1998-06-20 Thread Marcelo E. Magallon
Hi,

   Is anybody working on packaging fltk? I checked wnpp, but it's
 still listed as a needed package. I've gotten sick of gtk's lack of
 decent documentation (I could write something, but you have to really
 dive into it if you want to write anything usable) and due to xforms'
 and Qt's non-freeness I (don't want to|can't) use any of them. fltk
 has another advantage over gtk from my point of view: it has
 (real|decent) OpenGL support.

 Since it seems like I'm in need of this library, I wouldn't mind
 packaging it, but I have one simple question:

 What do I do with forms.h? It's the file that provides drop-in
 compatibility with the x?forms library, and I'd guess many ppl
 would like to see that file included. Don't get the wrong impression,
 the file says:

 $ cat forms.h 
 // this file allows some forms programs to be compiled with no change.
 // put it in your include path.
 #include FL/forms.H

 the headers are installed on /usr/X11R6/include/FL, I'm tempted to
 put forms.h in /usr/X11R6/include/forms.h. I can't put it on
 /usr/X11R6/include/X11 because libxforms-dev puts its files there,
 and there's no reason to make fltk conflict with xforms

 That's the only thing left to release the package...



   Marcelo

fltk is in slink.  It is not as Forms compliant as it used to be. 
Porting Forms apps will take some work.  There is a fltk mailing list,
you can read about it on fltk's home page.

Re: Access to an Alpha for package compilation?

 On a Digital Unix system it does nothing because the program dies as

 plots, we are running.

Ok...I *FINALLY* got it running.  It seems the -mieee flag did the trick.
The only tradeoff for enabling this is that it will give somewhat degraded
performance, but will handle the FPEs.

I'll rebuild a final time and upload the package after that...

Oh, and I'll forward my patches to you...they're VERY minor.

Re: fltk anyone? + packaging questions

1998-06-20 Thread Gregory S. Stark

I already uploaded a fltk package. 

BTW, this is why you're supposed to announce intention to package something
before working on it. 

Incidentally, I just skipped form.h and glut.h, on the assumption that someone
could just could just create a dummy file like it in their build directory. 
Another place they could go is inside /usr/include/FL, people would add -I FL
to get them.

Another issue is that I built it with a prefix of /usr, not /usr/X11. The
FSSTND is ambiguous on this, but seems to imply /usr/X11 is for the X Window
System itself, not just any program that happens to use X. And Personally I
don't see any reason to put X programs in a separate directory.

 According to the requirements as listed on

 out-of-the-box for [x]emacs 20.x.

Oh, uh, yes, so it does, sorry.  I forgot we have such a plain

 Yes, I do realize that.  I think a Suggests type dependency is too
 weak here since a significant amount of the funcationality of JDE
 would be lost if jdk1.1-dev wouldn't be installed.

I agree, as I say, I was just checking.

The way I understand it, it's just giflib with the compression and/or

 Bad timing on my part... it wasn't on the local mirror... hmmf! I
 don't intend to port forms applications, so the forms support is not
 a problem for me. I read the web page... in fact, I submitted a

 Thanks!
