XFS entering kernel 2.4 tree - Should the installer include support?
Hi, I am writing to -devel and not to -boot as I think this should be visible for most developers, as it can have a huge impact in our systems. I was reading [1] today that XFS is entering the 2.4 kernel tree - Being we still reasonably far from having Sarge releasable, what would you think on adding XFS support in our debian-installer? There are not many relevant (although they might be quite complicated) bugs in either xfs-progs or kernel-patch-xfs, and they will surely get attention from upstrean with this announcement... What do you think about this? I have never used XFS for my machines, but have heard quite a lot of good comments about it, and would like to see it available from the official d-i setup.

Almost all features are being used in current KDE and to | some degree by current GNOME. Could you please give examples? The Categories= field (to place .desktop files into menu hierarchies) is AFAIK not used at all by KDE, although I think Gnome may support it. The freedesktop 'menu' standard (where sub-menus can be generated from the categories in the .desktop files, and which also claims to allow "legacy" menus to be merged with the new standard) doesn't seem to have been adopted yet by anyone. The worst part, though, is that currently both KDE and Gnome store their .desktop files in different places, so that a .desktop that is available to KDE (and placed in /usr/lib/applnk) won't automatically appear in the Gnome menu, which looks in /usr/lib/applications. I presume that these things are being worked on in later releases of KDE and Gnome, but I don't know where to look for the current status of their adoption of the freedesktop.org standards. I have also noticed what might be considered as 'abuse' of these standards, presumably due to poor implementation of some fields. For example, /usr/share/applications/epiphany.desktop lists its Name as "Web Browser"; it should more correctly list its name as "Epiphany" and have a GenericName field containing "Web Browser".

Last year I used autoinstall to turn about a 100 old PC's into X terminals. With autoinstall and discover, I was able to get completely non-interactive installs. I used grub, though instead of PXE. (Most of the hardware was old, and very few, if any, of the the NIC's supported PXE.) grub can be built with network support, and it supported all the NIC's we had.

Almost correct... I don't think it is appropriate, or fair, that those not using KDE or Gnome should need to deal with KDE/Gnome specific stuff when there are other options. The existing menu data format has a potential problem in that the entries could get too big (too long a line), so a different format wouldn't hurt and may even be a necessity at some point. A single label=value(s) per line, as is used with the freedesktop standard, should be able to handle any amount of menu data items and any reasonable number of values per item. (as you may have noticed) I have a problem with keeping all possible menu data items for an enty in one file. Splitting the menu entry data into generic, KDE, and Gnome 'bins' is a more complex solution than keeping everything in one file, but I don't think the computer cares (and programmers who can't handle it should probably not be doing system level infrastructure programming, eh). Since bloating packages by distributing the generic, KDE and Gnome bits in separate files is almost as bad as forcing all menu consumers to process one large file, it makes sense to distribute the data as one file in the .deb and split it up during installation. Splitting up an all inclusive menu data file into 'bins' should be relatively trivial: generic items go into /usr/lib/menu/, X-KDE|GNOME-* items go into /usr/lib/menu/desktop/kde|gnome/, everything else goes into /usr/lib/menu/desktop/. The only coding needed would be: a program to install the menu data into the appropriate bins, and the KDE/Gnome menu-methods would need to look for more data when building their menues. Ideally, /usr/share/applications and /usr/share/applnk (and the Gnome equivalent) would either disappear or be generated... keeping them as installation targets makes it difficult, if not impossible, to provide system-wide overrides to the packaged menu data. - Bruce

Why, how? *If* Debian is supposed to switch to .desktop (instead of enhancing the Debian menu format) the only sensibl possibiltiy is to make menu be able to use .desktop as input. Once that is there any package can switch at its convenience (if it there are benefits for the package).

Changes in formal naming for NetBSD porting effort(s)
[ CCing Debian Project Leader and Secretary, to ensure that they have the ] [ chance to speak to the topic, even if they don't see it on the mailing ] [ lists. ] On December 2nd, I was contacted by Luke Mewburn, on behalf of The NetBSD Foundation, asking about the "transition" to calling the NetBSD port "Debian GNU/KNetBSD", and expressing their appreciation for this change, as it reflects (in their opinion) a more accurate statement about what the system is, and avoids any potential dilution of the NetBSD trademark. I explained that "Debian GNU/KNetBSD" was actually a separate effort, primarily by Robert Millan, to port Debian to a system consisting of NetBSD's kernel (thus, 'KNetBSD') and a ported GNU libc, while the other effort was aimed at a NetBSD kernel and native NetBSD libc. I did, however, say that I (at least) would be happy to try to find a name they found equally suitable, for the same reasons, rather than continue to use the current one. On December 3rd, Mr. Mewburn confirmed that The NetBSD Foundation would prefer to see the name changed, and I brought the issue up on the debian-bsd mailing list for discussion. After a good discussion that covered a variety of topics that went beyond the port name, but covered important related issues, I made the following proposal, which has received no objections for one week (Mr. Millan did make one request regarding the design of patches, which is not in conflict with the proposal): - For the porting effort formerly known as "Debian GNU/NetBSD" or "Debian GNU NetBSD/i386", the following four identifiers will be used: 1) 'uname -s' will be 'NetBSD' (this is unchanged). 2) 'uname -v' will have the name 'Debian' in it at an appropriate place, so that it is possible to determine a full set of system information solely from uname. (This is somewhat flexible due to possible changes in the NetBSD implementation of the concept of 'vendor'). 3) The GNU config triple will have '-netbsd-gnu' as it's third part. (This is unchanged - and don't blame me for a 4-part triplet. I didn't start it, merely maintained consistancy with -linux-gnu). 4) The Debian port name will become 'Debian GNU/KLNetBSD(i386)'[1]. - [1] i386 target, Kernel+Libc of NetBSD, GNU userland, Debian distribution I'm not entirely certain what else, if anything, is required to make these changes (except updating the web pages, which will obviously have to wait until the normal method of doing so has been restored), since the origional decision on the port name was relatively informal. If anyone objects, or wishes to see further requirements met, please let me know, and I'll do what I can to resolve the situation. Please note that all of my discussions with The NetBSD Foundation, and it's representatives, have been both cordial and productive, to date, and that I feel their request is born largely of having seen an example which they preferred, rather than any antipathy towards the Debian project as a whole, or the various BSD porting efforts under it. -- Joel Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,''`.

Re: Debian packages and freedesktop.org (Gnome, KDE, etc) menu entries
Scripsit Isaac Clerencia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I sincerely hope that some day further development of Debian's great > package management system will make localepurge fully obsolete. I've been wondering whether the Right solution to this kind of problems might be to invent some concept of "glue packages". In technical terms, that would be a way to tell apt-get and its ilk things like: - If frobnitz and locale-danish are both installed, then automatically try to install frobnitz-i18n-da. - If frobnitz and emacsen are both installed, then automatically try to install frobnitz-el. - If libx11 and tetex-base are both installed, then automatically try to install xdvi. - If ispell and locale-danish are both installed, then automatically try to install idanish. Then by installing appropriate locale-XXX packages, one would automatically pull in i18ns for the specified language for all packages that have been translated. Nobody would get bloated with translations of pacakges they don't use or translatations to languages they don't read. Most of the glue packages should be in a special section where they don't show up in package-selection interfaces. Possible exceptions would be things like idanish above - it's quite plausible to want Danish spell checking without also wanting one's tools in general to attempt to speak Danish in status and error messages. Since many glue packages will individually be quite small, some implementation engineering will be necessary in order to prevent bloat my maintainer scripts and standard /usr/share/doc/* contents. Some kind of by-demand distribution and assembly of Packages files might also be necessary in practise. -- Henning Makholm"Nej, hvor er vi altså heldige! Længe leve vor Buxgører Sansibar Bastelvel!"

I don't think that derivation is correct. The `fu' really has no
meaning in the original meaning of the word `kung-fu', which is
simply time spent doing things.

mozilla 1.6b
I am interested in getting an anti-aliased version of Mozilla 1.6b. A pointer either to a deb or to instructions on how to build it myself from some kind soul in the know would be appreciated. The downloadable Linux version from mozilla.org has the great new NTLM authentication that enables me, for the first time ever, to browse my company's internal Web pages from within Debian GNU. I tested it. It works. This is really good news! Unfortunately, the appearance of the downloadable browser is less than appealing. Neither the page text nor the widget text is anti-aliased. I downloaded the source code and compiled Mozilla 1.6b myself. Unfortunately, the configure script required that I install libgtk1.2-dev, and no anti-aliasing joy whatsoever was apparent. I have been assuming that mozilla-1.5 in Debian was using gtk2 for anti-aliased widget text, but now I'm just confused. Any help appreciated. -- Thomas E. Vaughan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

mozilla 1.6b with gtk2 and anti-aliasing
Would anyone be able to point me to a deb of the latest mozilla, 1.6b, configured to use gtk2 and anti-aliased page rendering? If not, then I would appreciate any help or pointer to documentation for compiling 1.6b from source so as to achieve the desired effect. The latest mozilla offers a feature that I thought might never come: NTLM authentication. I downloaded the Linux binary from mozilla.org, and I was, for the first time ever, with the new browser able to access my company's main internal Web pages without having first to reboot to MS Windows. This is very exciting news for me. Unfortunately, the display of the downloaded browser is rather ugly. Neither the widget fonts nor the fonts used for page rendering were anti-aliased. I had forgotten how ugly things were in the old days. I did download the source code and compile mozilla, but the configure script failed unless I installed libgtk1.2-dev and, as I then feared, the resultant binary used the old, bitmap-font gtk widgets. No joy. Any help is appreciated. -- Thomas E. Vaughan (303) 939-6386 Ball Aerospace, Boulder

[Fwd: Easing the load.]
-Forwarded Message- From: David Palmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: debian-curiosa@lists.debian.org Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Easing the load. Date: 11 Dec 2003 20:50:15 +0800 I have seen what I believe is a need for an additional mailing list, not so much for the benefit of the developers' list, but most definitely for the sake of sanity on debian-user. I have posted to curiosain recognition of their patience with an O.T. situation. The following layout is for initial discussion only,pending the full application being tendered as a wishlist bug report. Thanking you for your attention. Mailing List Request. Basic Purpose:- For this list, is multi-part. A need is seen, within the context of Debian, for a repository for all discussions and notifications that are not list specific. It could be argued here that if a subject is not list-specific, it has no place in the list. Allow me to supply some examples:- A notification on Debian-User of a new worm variant that sys. admins on the list require notice of, as they are running Debian servers supporting windows boxes also munging the mail headers/filters of the developer who is on the list to supply advice; Discussions that become O.T., that although they are not technical in nature enhance and enforce the community nature of Debian. They occur, so therefore members feel the need for the interaction, this would strengthen the community as a community. This is especially noticeable on lists with a broad spectrum sociological diversity such as Debian -User. I am not referring here, to the inconsequential drivel that arises from those entities that require a stage to prance on with a captive audience to assuage the requirements imposed by attention deficiency, there have been conversations initiated within the disciplines of philosophy and psychology/sociology, for example, and it is to these I refer. The other variety would get as short shrift on the new list as being as unproductive as they are in any other environment. There are many highly qualified people in the community, physicists, mathematicians, et al, who, if they had the option of taking part in non-debian discussion, could ironically generate new directions within Debian. For example, there are a number of packages of a mathematical nature within the Debian programme, these could well be collated into a sub-project. The type of list structure that I advocate conceivably forming a wellspring for projects of this nature; As a migration point for O.T. threads that are creating a distraction within the main lists. There are two aspects to this:- (1). The distracting, disruptive influence just stated, and (2). The carry over and clutter created within the corresponding archive. The last thing a busy admin needs when a server is down, and she requires the answer to a problem, is to have to wade through a tide of irrelevant flotsam and jetsam. Having the facility of a list of this nature would have the effect of really cleaning up the archives. Non productive O.T. threads could, with the consensus of three other list members (to avoid personality clash scenarios) for example, could be migrated to the proposed list, leaving the main list to proceed productively, maintaining the integrity of the archive. If the thread becomes too off the wall for the new list, and after an initial negotiation fails, the personality(ies) could be unsubscribed. I believe the new list could be as productively essential as any other in its' own way, I do not see it as the dumping ground for the collective Debian effluviant, just a little further down the alimentary tract perhaps ; As a repository for, and discussion arena of current news and affairs relevant to our industry, e.g., Microsofts' latest strategy, SCOs' gymnastics, the latest W.S.I.S. Conference moves, and etc. Debian is a community, but as such is also part of the greater community and not isolated from it. This world awareness could subtly enhance a wide number of Debian community aspects from programming direction to security. It would also create a resource for such entities as Debian Weekly; There are other things that could be put forward as viable reasons for the establishment of a list of this nature. I have only elaborated to the extent that I have to illustrate the productive potential of this venture, and the associated value it could present to the Debian project, so as to avoi
