They shall not. All menu version >=2.0 understand both the new and the
old menu structure. 

The changes in menu 2.1.35 are documentation update (to reference the
new structure) and a translate_menus file update to deal with packages that
have no yet migrated. Packages having migrated do not need it.

Thanks for your question!

Bug#431824: ITP: morla -- GTK+ RDF editor

2007-07-05 Thread Luca Brivio
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Luca Brivio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


* Package name: morla
  Version : 0.12
  Upstream Author : Andrea Marchesini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://www.morlardf.net/
* License : GPL v2
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : GTK+ RDF editor

 Morla is a multiplatform editor of RDF documents. It is based on libnxml and
 librdf libraries. With Morla you can manage more RDF documents simultaneously,
 visualize graphs, use templates for quick writing and exec SPARQL/RDQL
 queries.
 With Morla you can import RDFS documents and use their content to write new RDF
 triples. Templates are also RDF documents, and they make Morla easily
 customizable and expandable. You can use Javascript code into your templates so
 so you can validate and change user inputs.
 Morla is also a modular software so you can add functionality about the save,
 open and view procedures.
 You can also use Morla as an RDF navigator, wandering among the net knots of
 the RDF documents present on internet exactly as we are used to do with web
 browsers.

file mounted after debootstrap + udev

2007-07-05 Thread zferentz
Hi,

I've been using debootstrap to produce my  live linux based on debian
2.6.18 .
At first, my system was built with devfs and everything was fine .
Recently, i moved to udev (i added kernel support + udev package) and
although the live linux works just fine , after the "build process" -
there are mounted files that i cannot remove from my development
machine.

If i try to delete my "working directory", i got the following error:

  /bin/rm: cannot remove directory `working_dir/dev/.static/dev':
Device or resource busy

I've found out the following facts:
1. my build process installs an apache server
2. before running the build process , i had NO apache running
3. after running the build process , i an apache process is running
4. if i kill the apache process, umount the file , i can remove the
directory

My questions:
- How come the build process starts an apache ? i thought it should
just install it...
- where should i look for the mount or apache installation scripts ?
  (it's not my scripts...so i have no idea... i'm kinda a newbie in
this
  area...)
- am i doing something wrong ? how can i prevent this behaviour ?
- what's the "standard procedure" for building/installing a live
linux   with apache ?

tnx,
zferentz

Any problems with mips/mipsel?

2007-07-05 Thread Andreas Tille

Hi,

the latest package of tipptrainer was not builded on mips(el) since
55 days according to

http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=tipptrainer

Did I missed anything?  How can I trigger the building on this
architecture?

A similar situation is there for phylip

http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=phylip

Here only mipsel is not builded, but this is a non-free package and
as far as I know this is not catched by the autobuilders and I have
to ask for manual compilation (if my knowledge is up to date).

Kind regards

   Andreas.

because apache does no detect if he is in a chroot or not; use policy-rc
(see /usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.policy-rc.d) to avoid that.

You should check http://buildd.debian.org/ which will tell you that
both attempted to build your package but failed. Looks like a toolchain
issue to me. You could ask on @buildd.debian.org to retry the
package. Or you could try to find out first if the issue is fixed,
that might be easily possible or not.

Yeah, the experimental/non-free/backports daemons are something else
entirely. Don't know the status of the mipsel build daemon, but the

  Yes, but built from source, and the source of octave2.9-htmldoc contains the 
texinfo source. 
qtoctave doesn't, which is a breach of the GPL: you must be able to distribute 
the preferred form of 
modification, and not having it in the upstream sources - even when we know 
where they come from - 
makes it delicate for us to distribute it.

  In other words, any users should be able to do

apt-get source qtoctave

and modify the documentation, which is not possible as the texinfo source is 
missing.

Vincent Fourmond

I'm one of Octave's Debian maintainers. 

The problematic part is that qtoctave is primarly a Windows application. I 
don't think they even have any sort of code for generating the HTML files 
from the Texinfo sources, so even including the texinfo files would still be 
a violation.

Maybe they should just update the documentation and use the HTML files from 
[1]. I think the files there have a more liberal license.

apt-get -y upgrade for non-interactive sessions - and replacing conf files in /etc

2007-07-05 Thread Alan Ezust

Hi -  i was wondering, I'm trying to run apt-get upgrade in a
non-interactive shell.
I passed -y as an option, and then during the postinst, I have a
situation where the package has a configuration file which is newer
than what it is about to replace. I would like it to just replace the
configuration file without asking me, but it won't do that, even if I
pass the -y option.

I realize that the default behavior of apt-get is probably valid, but
is there a way to run apt-get such that clobbering of configuration
files can happen without user intervention?

conffile handling.

Alan, you know that it should only be prompting you on conffiles you actually

Yes, I see it is indeed only prompting me for conffiles that I
manually modified. In my particular situation, and I realize this is
unusual/dangerous, I still would like to to clobber my handmade
changes with newer versions from a .deb file. Setting those two
environment variables did not change the behavior of dpkg in this

  If you really want to do this, I think you need to pass --force-confnew
to dpkg.  You can arrange this either in /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg or in
