Sounds like a good idea to me!  If we have a sponsor, it makes sense to

 I also wonder if there are efforts in progress to unify the kernel
 source through more than two architectures?  This would require a
 group or architecture maintainers (current kernel package mantainers)
 to work collaboratively towards this goal.

Maybe the modules situation is even worse, as rebuilding the kernel may
or may not break some of them.
Is it possible to reliably guarantee the binary-compatibility of a newer
(patched) kernel-image with modules built against the previous one ?
Using explicit dependencies for the compiler, for example.

Otherwise, maybe it would be better to include *all* extra modules we
want to build in the kernel build process, and just provide them in
separate packages, as we already do for pcmcia-modules.
This would make these modules more difficult to maintain in sid, but it
would vastly improve the maintainability of the kernel itself.

Re: Debian conference in the US?

2003-05-22 Thread Miles Bader
Hi Greg,

Now that you've got this release out, have you given any thought to the
message I sent earlier about merging gdb server versions?

Here it is again in case you've forgotten:


Hi,

The current version of gdbserver in uClinux-dist only works on the m68k.
In my v850-specific version of uClinux-dist, I include a version of
gdbserver that works on the v850, which I created based on gdb-5.3.  I
think it should generally be much more portable than the old version, as
it's far less hacked up (the only changes I made to put it into the
uClinux-dist/user tree are to move the files around to fit the old
scheme better; I have a shell script that does that automatically).

I haven't yet sent my patches to gdb-central because I'm waiting to get
a copyright disclaimer, but perhaps you might want to include this newer
version in uClinux-dist?

I suppose it will work on other platforms too; the issues that I know
about are:

 (1) In linux-low.c, I do this to get the various address offsets
 (similar to the code in the old m68k gdbserver, which uses
 hard-wired constants):

text = ptrace (PTRACE_PEEKUSER, pid, (long)PT_TEXT_ADDR, 0);
text_len = ptrace (PTRACE_PEEKUSER, pid, (long)PT_TEXT_LEN, 0);
real_data = ptrace (PTRACE_PEEKUSER, pid, (long)PT_DATA_ADDR, 0);

 I defined PT_TEXT_ADDR, PT_TEXT_LEN, and PT_DATA_ADDR in
 include/asm-v850/ptrace.h in the kernel:

/* These are `magic' values for PTRACE_PEEKUSR that return info
   about where a process is located in memory.  */
#define PT_TEXT_ADDR(PT_SIZE + 1)
#define PT_TEXT_LEN (PT_SIZE + 2)
#define PT_DATA_ADDR(PT_SIZE + 3)

 Could you add similar to defines to the other uClinux ports, so
 that the linux-low.c code will work on them too?  BTW, notice that
 I used `PT_TEXT_LEN' instead of `PT_TEXT_END_ADDR' (which is
 what the m68k uses), as addr-len pairs generally seem cleaner to
 me than addr-endaddr pairs (makes the code slightly simpler too).

 (2) Since stuff in uClinux-dist comes `pre-configured' (i.e. doesn't
 get to run the configure script), and I of course configured it for
 the v850, the gdbserver Makefile needs to somehow select the proper
 machine-dependent files to use.  Currently the only
 machine-dependent bits seem to be these:

DEPFILES = reg-v850e.o linux-low.o linux-v850e-low.o 

 Perhaps it would be good enough to change this to something like:

DEPFILES = reg-$(CPU).o linux-low.o linux-$(CPU)-low.o 

 But I'm not sure where I can get CPU from; is there something
 handy in the uClinux-dist Makefiles that could be used?  The set
 of CPU values used in (my version of) gdbserver are:

v850e, s390, arm, x86-64, i386, mips, ppc, sh, ia64, m68k

 So it seems that the most `obvious' value should work OK Hmmm,
 perhaps I ought to change `v850e' to be `v850' for compatibility
 with the kernel, etc... sigh.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks,

-Miles

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libgd-perl: Depends: libgd-gd1-perl (= 1.41-6) but 1.41-5 is to be
  installed
E: Broken packages

tagcolledit: first infancy of a GUI editor for package tags

2003-05-22 Thread Enrico Zini
Hello.

I've started working at a GUI editor for package tags.  It's called
tagcolledit and you can find it in my apt repository:

deb http://people.debian.org/~enrico/ unstable/$(ARCH)/
deb http://people.debian.org/~enrico/ unstable/all/
deb-src http://people.debian.org/~enrico/ unstable/source/

So far it has no editing functions, but it can be used to navigate the
tag database in an original, non-hierarchical way.  It can already be
useful as a way to have alternative views of the tag database, that
could help in having ideas for better tag informations, and then go and
input them at http://debian.vitavonni.de/packagebrowser/ .

I welcome feedback and suggestions, both for navigating the database and
for editing functions.  Only one problem is already known: it's quite
slow when listing large groups of items.


Ciao,

Enrico

I have no objections to a conference in the US.  If there are enough people 
interested in attending to make it a good conference then it should be run.  
The US has a large population, they should be able to justify a conference 
without any visitors from other countries.

I can't rule out the possibility of attending myself.

I was merely pointing out one of the reasons why many people are avoiding the 
US.

It's really not any more expensive to travel to Toronto or Vancouver
than it is to travel a similar distance inside the US[1]. Once you get
there you'll find that the conference is cheaper since the Canadian
dollar is (still) weaker than the US dollar. And I know of approixmatly
zero Americans who have reason to boycott Canada. Sorry, argument does
not fly.

Anyway, I'd love to see a conference in DC, since I have family there,
and it's only 5 hours away by car. I'm looking forward to Oslo more
though, if I can find cheap plane tickets!

It may be too little if only one person does it... But I know *MANY*
people who simply will avoid (to de extent possible in Mexico, at least)
buying any American goods. 

In my particular cas -and I think many other developers will agree- this
did not suddenly start with the Iraqi war - The USA have long been a
country with little or none respect for privacy and freedom, standing in
the way of technological advance. 

How will it help anything? First of all, if they notice that they are
ceasing to be the focus of technological development, they might
understand that they are doing something wrong. And even if they don't,
at least I feel better ;-)

It's alot cheaper if the conference is in DC for me since there'd be
basically no additional cost involved.  A conference in Toronto or
Vancouver would be more expensive due to travel time, hotel cost, etc.
Though I might be as willing to go to Toronto as NYC if there was
a conference there.  It seems the conferences are often in Europe though
which is definitely more expensive than pretty much anywhere on the east

After all, he *did* merge those changes from the NMU into his local

 requests for a new version, which they were not.
 

 The features included in that version (and listed in upstream changelog)
 solve the problems reported in the other two report...

Then please use a changelog entry for each change, such as

  * New Upstream Version (closes: #176227)
- Fixes error after updating user entry (closes: #188308)
- Fixes segfaults on connect (closes: #90276)

If you don't do this, the original bug submitters will see a bug has
been fixed, but probably not remember what the bug was, especially if he
or she filed multiple bugs for the package.  Furthermore, it's a real
pain to have to look at the BTS, and then search through the upstream
changelog to find the corresponding fix.

This should be described in the developer's reference (as if anyone
actually follows it).

Well in that case, let's just use changelog entries like

That will save developers some work, right?  Or, even better, let's just
drop usage of that work and time-consuming BTS altogether.

To save developers even more work, let's allow them to never test, or
even build, a package before upload.  And, let's not fix security holes

That's *very* useful, too. And that would save people a lot of work when
tracking problem causes, etc. It will not kill adding a few more details
when closing a bug, and that makes the changelog much more useful.
This is the way I do:

  * New upstream release
  - it seems like the lng CC is not a problem anymore
(Closes: #182003)
  - IMAP has gone through a lot of work, so I believe this should
be fixed. Also, this version is supposed to fix the 'io blocking'
thingy. (Closes: #164101)

Damn, it evens helps the submitter to understand what problem has
been fixed when he receives the notification.

 I for myself prefer the changelog entry because it shows direct which
 bugs are closed by the maintainer.

 There's another interesting approach: use 'dpkg-buildpackage -vlast
 version you uploaded'. That way you don't even need to include another
 changelog entry, but the generated .changes will include a Closes: line
 for all the NMU-fixed bugs.

This is the best method, I think.  IIRC, bug submitters don't receive an
acknowledgment for bugs fixed in an NMU; they only receive them when
closed by the maintainer.  Consequently, they only get an acknowledgment
that says something like

  * Acknowledge NMU (closes: xxx)

which is not informative at all.  I would much rather see the changelog
entry made by the NMU-er.

Monotonicity (http://electionmethods.org/evaluation.html#MC) requires
With the relative order or rating of the other candidates unchanged,
voting a candidate higher should never cause the candidate to lose,
nor should voting a candidate lower ever cause the candidate to win.

But, on your page, I don't see any examples of voting a candidate higher

Instead, I see one example of an introduced vote where B, C and A

That's the wrong reason.

Consider the admin, who discovers some bug.  They look at the changelogs for
the problem package, seeing if it had a similiar bug.  Also, consider that
this system is not online, and the admin has no network connection.

las Olimpiadas. Es a nivel _mundial_.

2.- mini-Debconfs (llamadla X) que organiza alguien porque hay interés 
_local_ en hacerla. Esa es la que se hace en Australia. No quita que se 
invite a gente de fuera (y venga).

Yo creo que el  1) se puede plantear cuando toque otra vez Europa (se nos 
adelantó Tollef en proponerla esta año en Oslo) pero el 2) se puede hacer 
cuando se quiera. Por ejemplo, el próximo año. Si se hace en fechas que 
_no_ coincidan con la Debconf más posibilidades de poder traer a gente 
importante (con matices :-) como el DL. Yo propondí hacer una votación 
para ver cómo respiraría la gente en:

- lugar (aquí hay que tener en cuenta que si quieres que venga gente de 
fuera, como en 1) tienes que tener muy en cuenta las comunicaciones, 
hoteles, residencias...)

- fechas

Una vez decidido que hay gente que puede moverlo en el lugar decidido se 
pone en marcha. ¿No? :-)

nuevo y pregunta

2003-05-22 Thread Jesús Roncero
Hola, llevo ya un tiempo lurking esta lista de correo. Así que sirva este 
mensaje de presentación. Hace ya tiempo que uso debian y cada día estoy más 
encantado. 

Tengo en mi casa un sistema de sensores de temperaturas conectados a una caja 
debian que me va registrando la temperatura y haciendo unas bonitas gráficas 
(http://www.roncero.org/temp). Utilizo un programa que lee de los sensores 
http://www.brianlane.com/digitemp.php y, al no encontrarse este empaquetado 
para debian ni tenerlo el autor en su web me gustaría crearle unos debs.

Teo Ruíz Suárez me animó a empaquetarlo y que si tenía algún problema le 
preguntase (gracias). Como veo que lee esta lista, hago mis preguntas aquí y 
así las comparto con todos vosotros (¿es la lista correcta?).

El programa en sí no es mucha cosa, se compone de un binario y poco más, algo 
de documentación y los readme. No tiene ni página man (se qu epara debian hay 
que hacer una). el fichero de configuración se guarda en el directorio que tu 
le especifiques (no tiene por qué ser el $HOME/), con lo cual es más fácil 
hacerlo. He estado haciendo un paquete siguiendo la guía del nuevo mantenedor 
de debian y, la verdad, no he tenido muchos problemas después de leerme casi 
todo el tema. Aunque tengo algunas dudas/problemillas que me gustaría 
comentar.

La primera dificultad que le veo, es que los fuentes y el makefile están 
preparados para crear dos tipos de binarios. Resulta que el sistema éste de 
los sensores puede utilizar dos tipos de adaptadores (para el puerto serie), 
uno pasivo (que te puedes hacer tu si tienes maña y soldando) y otro activo, 
que le puedes comprar al fabricante (que lleva unchip para gestionar toda la 
comunicación con el bus). El makefile está diseñado para que construyas o 
bien un binario u otro, eligiendo algunos ficheros fuente en C u otros, 
dependiendo del tipo de adaptador que tengas. El resultado es que tienes un 
binario, con el mismo nombre pero preparado para un sistema u otro.
O sea, yo hago make ds9097 y tengo soporte para el adaptador pasivo. Si hago 
make ds9097u tengo soporte para el adaptador activo.

Para hacer unas pruebas, modifiqué el makefile para que hiciese sólo el 
binario para el ds9097, que es el adaptador que yo tengo. Y creé el deb. Sólo 
tuve un problema y es que no me incluyó la página man que están en 
debian/digitemp.1 (¿hay que ponerlo así, no?). De todas formas, la página era 
la de ejemplo y no se si hice algo mal. tengo que seguir investigando. 
Hacer un paquete único así, con este, me ha resultado en cierto punto fácil, 
pero supongo que la aproximación para tratar este software (los dos binarios) 
es un tanto diferente.

Primeramente, había pensado en hacer dos paquetes, uno para que tuviese cada 
binario, a partir de los mismos fuentes. Supongo que eso se hace eligiendo 
multiple package con el dh_make, ¿no? y luego modificando los ficheros 
debian/* en concordancia pero, si en ámbos paquetes el binario ses llama 
igual, tendrán que ser incompatibles, no? Otra forma sería que el binario se 
llamase de de distinta forma, ie digitemp y digitempu, pero eso debería 
depender del upstream, no?

Me gustaría recibir algún consejo de cómo hacer esto y/o alguna indicación al 
respecto para ir trabajando sobre el  paquete y,si tengo alguna duda, 
preguntarlo aquí.

Sin más, pues un saludo y muchas gracias.

Mi sources.list está algo liado :-(. Tengo debian woody más unos cuantos

en el repositorio de Ralf Nolden, pero ahora están retirados algunos de esos

versiones actualizadas de bash, autoconf, y automake. Ahí va el sources.list, 
y si sirve, he hecho un dpkg -l  paquetes, y lo he puesto en:

El resto que me pides... no estoy muy seguro de qué es O:-), pero ahí va un 
tar del directorio justo antes del dpkg-buildpackage:
http://lacurva.net/misc/kmess-1.2.1-debianized.tar.gz
(el directorio dentro del tar tiene el nombre cambiado, lo sé... cuando lo 
construía, tenía el correcto de nombre-versión).

El resto de ficheros generados:

http://lacurva.net/misc/kmess_1.2.1-0woody1.tar.gz
http://lacurva.net/misc/kmess-1.2.1.tar.gz

Ahora que lo pienso... Cambié el valor que aparece en el changelog (siguiendo 
lo poco que ponía en el redme de Nolden para hacer paquetes para KDE), y le 
añadí 0woody, ¿es posible que falle por no haber cambiado también el nombre 
del directorio?

Muchas gracias por el interés :-).

  La cuestió es hacerlo cerca de la gente que va a ir. Y la mayor

  Hacerlo en Australia o América del Sur significa viajes muy caros para
  mucha gente, lo que no se puede sufragar a menos que haya un

 La página de manual la tienes que incluir tú mediante una orden en el

  Lo de los dos paquetes es un poquillo complicado, porque tienes que
  hacer que el programa se compile dos veces, una con cada opción. No es
  que sea imposible, sólo digo que no es trivial y hay que entender el
  proceso.

  Dos ejemplos de cómo hacer esto los tienes en abiword y vim. Bájate
  las fuentes y mírate cómo lo hacen. Básicamente la cosa consiste en
  tener objetivos del debian/rules paralelos. Así tendrías un
  build-serial y un build-smart (por ejemplo), un install-serial y un
  install-smart y así. Lo que tienes que hacer es que el
  dpkg-buildpackage los llame en el orden correcto (clean, cofigure,
  build-serial, install-serial, clean-serial, build-smart,
  install-smart).

  El problema de los nombres se soluciona o haciendo los paquetes con un
  conflicts o cambiando el nombre al binario. Lo más fácil es lo
  primero, porque en el otro caso, aunque cambiar el nombre es fácil (es
  un 'mv' en el debian/rules) te deberías meter con historias de
  alternativas para que haya un comando 'digitemp' que es el que espera
  el usuario.

  Un saludo y ánimo :)

  Supongo que estás en sid, yo que tu descargaría la última versión del
  'apt' con el wget y la instalaría con el 'dpkg':

# wget http://ftp.es.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.5.5.1_i386.deb

# dpkg -i apt_0.5.5.1_i386.deb

  Con esto creo que resolverás tu problema ...

 ¿Y si se celebrara en algún lugar con no muchos desarrolladores de
 Debian, precisamente para difundir y predicar Debian? :-D
 
 No sé... Me viene a la mente algún país de Latinoamérica, donde no hay
 una gran cantidad de desarrolladores ;)

Ah, mi querido Damog... Creo que sí hace falta que haya un par más de
DDs por acá, por lo menos para la cuestión logística - ¿Recuerdas que no
quiero aventarme otro congreso este año? ;-)

Yo sugeriría fuertemente que fuera por acá, pero en un par de añitos.

  Pues no se que decirte, a un amigo mío le pasaba lo mismo y al
  instalar el apt lo solucionó, aunque creo que actualizó también el
  dpkg (yo tengo la 1.10.10, si tienes una más vieja prueba a actualizar
  tambien).

Estos mensajes deberían ir a debian-user-spanish en lugar de a 
debian-devel-spanish ... de todos modos para solucionar tu problema basta
con que crees un fichero /etc/apt/apt.conf y escribas lo siguiente en el:
APT
{
Cache-Limit 141943904;
}
