Bug#605985: ITP: gitso -- a frontend to reverse VNC connections

[YunQiang Su]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: YunQiang Su 

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA256


* Package name: gitso
  Version : 0.8
  Upstream Author : gerberad etc.
* URL : http://code.google.com/p/gitso/
* License : GPLv3
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : a frontend to reverse VNC connections

 Gitso is meant to be a simple two-step process that connects one person to
 another's screen. First, the support person offers to give support. Second, 
 the person who needs help connects and has their screen remotely visible. 
 .
 Because Gitso is cross-platform (Linux, OS X and Windows) and uses a reverse 
 VNC connection, it greatly simplifies the process of getting support.

If you use the 'ProxyCommand' feature of ssh to go through intermediate
hops, your ssh client will talk directly (but tunneled) to the target
server. So multiple hops are not really a problem in this case.

Basically a good idea. The images are used in several places already
though like Synaptic, Ubuntu's Software Center etc. I'm not sure if all
these places handle redirects well. I'll have that checked first.

Btw, I'm glad that packages.debian.org finally uses the screenshots.
It's been a struggle for two years. :)

Dear Matthias,

thank you for your patch.

I do not know that to do with it since I have difficulties to understand the
context. It is a patch for Ubuntu but it is usertagged with the Debian GCC's
team email. I have a couple of questions, and since some of them may be of
general interst, I am copying debian-devel.

 - Is there a timeline in which the package in Debian will stop to build from
   source if the patch is not applied ?

 - I do not understand what problem the patch solves when reordering ‘-lm -lz
   -L.. -lbam’ to ’-L.. -lbam -lm -lz’. It seems that it is related to the use
   of --as-needed. Is there a general explanation somewhere, that I can use
   when forwarding the patch upstream ?

 - Does such a change represents some best practice that we should put forward
   for our uptreams to be aware of, for instance in 
http://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide ?

the order of objects on the command line is significant for traditional linkers, 
and older binutils.  So while this kind of failures may not seen with current 
binutils, you may see this with other linkers or older binutils. Such changes 
are safe to make.

http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking

Here is a part of the build log from Lucas' Ubuntu archive rebuild:
,[ 
http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~lucas/ubuntu-nbs/32/samtools_0.1.10-1_lubuntu32.buildlog

`

I'm no expert on this topic but as far as I understand it it's because
-lbam (libbam.a) uses symbols from -lz and order matters with
--as-needed.

,[ 3rd paragraph for '-l' in 'man ld' ]-
| The linker will search an archive only once, at the location where

| symbol which was undefined in some object which appeared before the

| [...]
| This type of archive searching is standard for Unix linkers.
`

Changing the order makes -lz gets processed after -lbam (which needs symbols
from -lz).

thanks for doing this.  The tendency of these reports is correct, although there 
are some which are neither reproducible on the Ubuntu buildds nor with local 
builds (e.g. apport).


This report was taken at the beginning of the natty release cycle, just the 
first alpha was released, so the number of the build failures is somehow expected.


At this stage, toolchain changes are somewhat expected.  I hope the majority of 
these changes are reported in Debian, and in fact a large percentage is already 
addressed in Debian, either in unstable or experimental.


 - GCC-4.5: Natty started to use GCC-4.5.  Issues are reported in Debian
   as [1], these are reproducible by installing gcc/g++ and gcc-4.5/g++-4.5
   from experimental).
 - Build failures with the Gold linker, or with ld --no-add-needed.
   Reported as [2], reproducible by installing gcc/g++ and gcc-4.5/g++-4.5
   from experimental or by installing binutils-gold from experimental.
 - Build failures with ld --as-needed. Issues found at [3].
 - Build failures with glibc-2.12, currently not tracked with user tags,
   although I cannot remember more than a few issues.
 - Build failures with more recent kernel headers, currently not tracked
   with user tags.

The linking changes were proposed on debian-gcc and debian-ports, a wiki page 
with more detailed information can be found at [4].


Some if these issues will be certainly needed for wheezy, some may be needed on 
a package per package basis.

Apparently this package needs a populated 
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/modules.dep,
which is not available in my build chroot.

As I already told you on IRC, given that I could make apport fail two
times on both i386 and amd64, and provided the build log, I think that
the next step is for you to provide a build log, so we can diff them.

The one from launchpad is two weeks old and shows significant
differences. Like, why does my build try to copy
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/mimetypes/text-x-apport.svg, while
the one from launchpad doesn't?


Any other unreproducible failures?
