Towards d-i wheezy beta 3
Hello, tiny wrap-up for beta 2: the release happened one week after the prospective date. Some tiny delays on various fronts added up and explain that, but the overall results don't seem too bad to me. That's why I'm going to propose the same timing for beta 3: 3 weeks for development and bug fixes (let's call it a “merge window”), 1 week for dealing with udeb-related unblock requests, building/testing images and preparing release announcement. The FTP Team Sprint is scheduled 2012-09-14 → 2012-09-21, but that should still leave enough time for development. Dates would be: 2012/09/29-30: d-i wheezy beta 3 merge window closes. 2012/10/06-07: d-i wheezy beta 3 is released. Features expected to be merged: - UEFI support (Steve). Before anyone asks, and as far as I can tell: it's not about supporting secure boot. - IPv6 support in d-i (Philipp). - Possibly more xz-related unblocks (Ansgar). If anybody wants to see something land into this release, it would be nice to mention it now instead of after the end of the merge window. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hi Andreas, the find commands are executed via backsticks, which potentially can execute any arbitrary command. I personally have not found a way to exploit this (*), but given my lack of training in the field, I do not consider this significant, so I asked for others opinions. My main question anyway is whether it would be useful to make a distinction between fields that have a content that is more likely to be passed to shell commands, and fields where the content is less likely to be so. (*) Yes I looked, and maybe the most straightforward way would be to make a fake file name containing backsticks, in order to execute a helper script in the debian directory.

Here is the current version. -- http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#files-field This is the same pattern syntax as fnmatch(3) without the FNM_PATHNAME flag, or the argument to the -path test of the GNU find command, except that [] wildcards are not recognized. Multiple Files paragraphs are allowed. The last paragraph that matches a particular file applies to it. More general paragraphs should therefore be given first, followed by more specific overrides. Exclusions are only supported by adding Files paragraphs to override the previous match. -- So, my patch is more conformant than the old method. Moreover, brackets should be escaped before passing them to find. For the moment, only one Files-Excluded is allowed in the unique header paragraph [2]. Exclusions are impossible. Maybe a solution would be to define a fake "not-shipped-by-debian" license instead. This would not only solve your problem, but also allow per-file-set comments as discussed before ([1], [2]), and using unchanged existing parsers. Your example would become: -- debian/copyright Files: * License: GPL3+ Full license text. Files: __MACOSX License: not-shipped-by-debian Optionaly explain here why __MACOSX is rejected. Files: *.jar License: not-shipped-by-debian Optionaly explain here why jar files are rejected. Files: rdp_classifier_2.5/lib/ReadSeq.jar License: GPL3+ Full license text. -- (excluded pattern are separated to demonstrate per-file-set comments) (in real life, "Text of GPL3+" would be in a separate paragraph) Allthough I agree with [5], in case we decide to put these patterns into a separate file or into debian/watch options, a similar approach could be used, like: -- debian/uscan-excluded-files Exclude: __MACOSX *.jar Include: rdp_classifier_2.5/lib/ReadSeq.jar -- [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/08/msg00625.html [2] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/08/msg00699.html [5] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/08/msg00620.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

RE: CD1 without a network mirror isn't sufficient to install a full desktop environment
Just a quick suggestion. As a compromise, instead of enabling Xfce as the "universal default" in tasksel *entirely* ... How about only enabling Xfce as default for the CD* distribution, and leaving the default as GNOME for all non-CD distributions? (DVD, netinst, ...) That will express true "bipartisanism" ... instead of explicitly being biased towards one direction or another simply at the whim of (a) certain decision maker(s), especially over a technicality. Yes, you can argue this might incur a "split" between install bases and, thus, possibly be less "easy" to support ... But both GNOME and Xfce are officially integrated into Debian, and so should both be considered equally ... GNOME has a longer-standing status, specifically with Debian, and other GNU/Linux distributions at large. It's also an officially-supported GNU project, as well as being more "authoritative", in the sense that it's the base of GTK+ which is utilized by Xfce. According to popcon, Xfce is more common on Debian than GNOME... And considering the recent controversy surrounding v3, many have opted for alternatives such as Xfce, MATE, Cinnamon, Unity, or etc... I, personally, feel as if GNOME is sort of going the "KDE path" as far as becoming somewhat bloated. Xfce's lightweight-focused approach can be appreciable, but modern high-level functionality shouldn't necessarily be compromised by lack-of/restricted resources. Simply the fact that it's an OPTION is terrific. But, from the premise of this entire letter, shouldn't exactly be *forced*. Thus, I reiterate that it might be a good idea to maybe consider the possibility of thinking about the potential for ... Xfce being set to default tasksel in CD* distributions, while GNOME remaining default in others. At *least* as a compromise during a ``transitional'' period, whereupon the eventuality of settling on a single/unified default may come into play yet once again. :D

Is there potential to see pkgsel use apt-get instead of aptitude (following the same change in tasksel)? There is already a patch committed. I'll give this more of a test this week with some induced errors during the installation. Can also add --fix-missing to make apt-get more robust, but I personally don't think that is a good idea.

volume control not working:debian 6.0.4
Hi, I have ported Debian for my target x86 board,and facing some problem in volume-control when i click on it's icon I am getting error: "The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. You can remove the volume control from the panel by right-clicking the speaker icon on the panel and selecting "Remove From Panel" from the menu." although if i play any media file through rythmbox music player or movie player it plays audio... please help me also,to access audio i need to add user in audio group (/etc/group). Regards.
