That's not the point. The point is that the system is not supported by Debian, i.e. there's no kernel for it, no debian-installer support, etc. While it would be nice to support this system (and I'll probably see what I can do), there are plenty of problems.

Erm, no. That's a cross-compiler, isn't it? Any given output isn't portable (it will run only on one OS), but it can just target multiple backends. And when you say Linux, I assume you mean Linux on i386 only.

YesNo! ;-9 The OpneWatcom has some extensions which do not exist in gcc but produced Linux executable are running fine on Debian systems.

Question about different kernel versions included on Etch
Hi all,
I need to deploy several xen servers under Debia nEtch next week, and
I have one doubt. Which is the difference between these kernels:
linux-image-2.6.16-2-xen-686 and linux-image-2.6.16-2-xen-vserver-686?
What does it means -vserver suffix?? Can I install third party kernel
modules to these kernel like as I can do with "normal" kernels??
Many thanks.

using long long and printf("%m") in debian
Hi list,
I have a package which relies on support for long long and using gcc
does not give problems. The same goes for printf support of %m. What
various me is that these features are not supported in ISO C90. My
question is if this is problem in Debian and if so should I make some
checking in configure.ac and provide work-arounds in config.h?

The C implementation we have, consisting of gcc and glibc, support long long and %m (the latter being a GNU extension, even, it seems). Anyway, the target platform for packages in Debian is Debian; you don't need to provide portability fixes for non-Debian platforms.

No, %m is, according to printf(2) manpage:
m (Glibc extension.) Print output of strerror(errno). No argument is
required.
So why isn't
printf("%s\n",strerror(errno));
used instead of
printf("%m\n");
?
Not like a problem in Debian GNU/* but you should tell upstream about
questionable coding style and portability.

Either it compiles in Debian or it doesn't.

I agree with you on this issue - I personally prefer to apply to the
standard specifications, so this will be change in source. Upstream is
no problem since upstream is me - I have taken over an abandon
application.

Well, even the gcc-4.2 documentation still has the sentence "GCC has incomplete support for this [C99] standard version", so IMHO the formal answer is "no Debian arch has full C99 support with the default compiler". On the other hand, most of the useful features of C99 seem to be supported in current gcc versions, so the real-life answer is more like "you can assume C99 support on all archs".

Bug#383735: ITP: renpy -- framework for developing visual-novel type games
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Miriam Ruiz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Package name: renpy Version : 5.5.4 Upstream Author : PyTom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.bishoujo.us/renpy/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: Python, C Description : framework for developing visual-novel type games Ren'Py is a programming language and runtime, intended to ease the creation of visual-novel type games. It contains features that make it easy to display thoughts, dialogue, and menus; to display images to the user; to write game logic; and to support the saving and loading of games. Ren'Py tries to be like an executable script, allowing you to get a working game without much more effort than is required to type the game script into the computer. Ren'Py is implemented on top of python, and that python heritage shows through in many places. Many Ren'Py statements allow python expressions to be used, and there are also Ren'Py statements that allow for the execution of arbitrary python code. Many of the less-used features of Ren'Py are exposed to the user by way of python. By only requiring use of the simplest features of python, it's hoped that Ren'Py will be usable by all game authors. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=es_ES.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=es_ES.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

In USA, when an university student says "pre-med" , that kids is trying to go to medical school. It is certainly recognised as one short form for medical. But quick look up in google gives you "med" will lead you to things not only for www.med.stanford.edu but club med (resort club name: "med" implicitly means Mediterranean) . So it can be many other thigss too. (But you find mostly medical related words there) 3 letter acronyms tend to crash each other so much.
