  You have to do this anyhow, otherwise the package will get upgraded

  a package is locally recompiled and has not been placed on hold you
  would indeed want the 'newer' archive package to be installed. The
  motivating factor here is local slink recompiles of potato packages.
 
 i may be missing something here, but why not change the debian revision
 number when you recompile the package? takes a few seconds to edit the
 changelog. that's what i do...it works for metm.
 

i usually do that, but sometimes i forget and i find it annoying that
apt assumes by default that the mirror packages are newer than my
local packages. it just doesn't feel right. also, this doesn't work
with 'apt-get source -b package'. what's the point in having the
ability to download the source and recompile it automatically if the
next upgrade will wipe it out. if i choose to recompile a package, apt
should leave it alone until a newer version comes along. to me, at
least, this idea of always fetching the mirror package, feels too much
like microsoft. also, before apt, dselect use to leave the packages
alone, maybe that's when i got used to the idea that my local packages
shouldn't be touched if they have the same version number.

 Come up with a reasonable situation where you would want to have a
 non-held package not be moved to the archive version of the same version
 but be moved to the newer archive version :
 

if a new version becomes available, i don't mind upgrading. i just
don't want apt to upgrade to the archive package if the packages
have the same version. i think the ability to set this as a
configuration option is best.

as for a reasonable situation... let's say i want to compile some
packages with pentium optimizations on, but if there is a new version
i would like to upgrade automatically. now dselect tells me there is a
new version, but if i use apt-get upgrade i won't even know the new
version exists.

i don't know if you consider the above situation reasonable, but for
me it is. this is why i would like to be able to change the current
behaviour with an option in apt.conf.

 It means the libc6 package you have installed has a different md5sum then

this is something that has always bugged me about apt. i wish it would
assume that my local copy is a newer recompile (which is, almost
always, the case). sometimes i recompile packages to enable features
which are not on by default and then i have to put the packages on hold

 Hi,
 
 Just a little extra info - this is a mail I was composing before I read
 your mail (obviously I realise that this is low priority till woody). 
 
 I have two potato systems [Sys1 hasn't been updated for a while and
 seems to have gone a little mouldy ;]
 

the problem is with curses.h in libncurses5-dev. it redefines ERR and
as such it conflicts with the definition from the glibc headers. this
was the same problem noticed in dpkg 1.6.10. i just commented out the
redefinition of ERR in /usr/include/curses.h and then the X package
compiled just  fine. i am sure the proper solution is the one used in
dpkg-1.6.11 though.

 I (the Tcl maintainer) don't have time to do this right now.  Sorry.
 
okay, i posted this a week ago, and since then i've been trying to
find the solution, with no luck though. i've searched the usenet
archives at altavista/dejanews, read the comp.lan.tcl newsgroup. there
is no mention of this problem. what i've discovered so far is that
none of the mbone programs which use embedded tcl (sdr/vat/vic/nt these
are the ones i know of) work with the current 8.0.3. they all crash
with the same error message:

  invalid command name tcl_findLibrary 

they all work fine if downgrade to 8.0p2. i've tried compiling them
with tcl8.0p2-dev and then upgrading to 8.0.3 (as i said before) and
they don't work anymore.

i think this is a bug in tcl 8.0.3. i am willing to investigate this a
little bit further, but i need help. does anybody know of any programs
that use tcl translated to c and compiled into the executable? i want
to see if they work under tcl 8.0.3. all the mbone programs use the
same tcl2c(++) translator which might be the problem.

if we can't get this working by the freeze i propose we take these
packages out of the next stable release (i guess we won't have a
choice anyway). sorry to bother you all (and especially david) but i
need help (and i didn't really get any responses last time).

assorted bugs in 2.0 install

1998-04-15 Thread Alex Romosan
we got 4 new computers running debian (1.3.1) and in the process of
upgrading them to 2.0 i found the following problems:

(1) kernel-package doesn't know how to deal with spaces before the
block devices in the /etc/fstab file. i know you would say that
not many people would run into this situtation, but varesearch
ships such an fstab file and the kernel-package was totally
confused by it. it took me a while too to figure out what was
happening. mount doesn't forbid spaces before the first field so i
think kernel-package should be able to deal with it.

(2) upgrading from xfree86 3.3.1 to 3.3.2 i ran into the strangest
problem. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Cards didn't get updated. i just took
a look at all the other computers i have (running 3.3.2, upgraded
straight from 3.3.1) and none have the new Cards file even though
it is part of the xbase package. the ones that run 3.3.2-3 and got
upgraded first to 3.3.2-0.1, 3.3.2-1 and so on to -3 have the new
version of this file. also, if you do a fresh install (or run
purge before installing the new xbase) then the new version of
Cards gets installed. can somebody explain to me why this is
happening?

(3) i screwed up one of the upgrades (one day i'll learn to be more
patient) so i ended up doing a fresh install. the disk drive is
scsi, but the cd drive is ide. the boot disk wouldn't let me make
linux bootable from the hard drive claiming that i can install
lilo only on the first drive and that /dev/hda wasn't writable. of
course it wasn't, since it was the cd drive, but /dev/sda was.
shoudn't the installation script also look for the first scsi
drive? i think this is a bug.

anyway, this is about it. i consider (1) and (3) real bugs (but
probably the majority of people will never run into them). (2) is kind
of weird and i don't have any explanation for it, but i can reproduce
it.

linking problem

1998-04-13 Thread Alex Romosan
i've run into a really strange problem, and i can't seem to figure it
out. i am attempting to link a program against Xpm and the linker
tells me it can't find it. this is the command:


  g77 evtdsp_main.o xencode.o ../e815_analysis/dst/ftio.o getolevent.o \
  getoesevent.o getofsevent.o sigonline.o ../e815_analysis/ipc.o \
  store_view.o display_image.o util.o options.o evtdsp.o getbeam.o \
  sind.o cosd.o -L/usr/cern/98/lib -lgeant -lgraflib -lgrafX11 \
  -lpacklib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXm -lXp -lXt -lXext -lXpm -lX11 -lSM \
  -lICE -o evtdsp_linux

and the error:

  /usr/bin/ld: cannot open -lXpm: No such file or directory
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

but the library exists:

ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4*
   0 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   14 Apr 12 20:55 
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 - libXpm.so.4.10
  54 -rw-r--r--   1 root root53408 Jan 25 09:33 
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4.10

if i replace -lXpm by /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 the program links
fine. does anybody have any idea what's going on here?

new packages

1998-04-08 Thread Alex Romosan
i finally got around to applying to become a debian developer. so i
want to announce here my intention to package the following programs:

f77reorder

  f77 compiler script calling f2c/gcc. Handles some fortran 77
  extensions by calling f77reorder to change the code.

vat

  The LBNL audio tool, vat, is a real-time, multi-party, multimedia
  application for audio conferencing over the Internet. Vat is based on
  the Draft Internet Standard Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)
  developed by the IETF Audio/Video Transport working group. RTP is an
  application-level protocol implemented entirely within vat -- you need
  no special system enhancements to run RTP. Although vat can be run
  point-to-point using standard unicast IP addresses, it is primarily
  intended as a multiparty conferencing application. To make use of the
  conferencing capabilities, your system must support IP Multicast, and
  ideally, your network should be connected to the IP Multicast Backbone
  (MBone).
  .
  Vat provides only the audio portion of a multimedia conference; video,
  whiteboard, and session control tools are implemented as separate
  applications. Our video tool is called vic and our whiteboard tool wb,
  UCL developed the session directory tool sdr Other related
  applications include ISI's Multimedia Conference Control, mmcc, the
  Xerox PARC Network Video tool, nv and the INRIA Video-conferencing
  System, ivs.

xmmix

  Xmmix is an audio mixer utility for the X window system using the
  Motif graphical user interface. It operates the input and output
  mixer section on many PC sound cards.

xrn

  X11 USENET news reader, based on rn.

nt

  NTE is a shared text editor designed for use on the Mbone. It is not a
  word processor (it is not clear that word processing is a useful task
  to share) and it is not a whiteboard - if you want a whiteboard, wb
  from LBL is a much better whiteboard.
  .
  Using NTE can be very interactive - unless you lock a block of text,
  anyone else in your session can edit that text or delete it. This is
  intentional. Many people can (if they wish) edit the same document
  simultaneously. Many people can even edit the same block of text
  simultaneously, but if more than one person tries to edit the same
  line at one time, a conflict will occur, which results in only one of
  the changes being preserved.

and some of the packages which need an smotif/dmotif version and don't
have a maintainer yet (xmg, ddd, etc).

all these are already available by anonymous ftp from caliban.lbl.gov
in /pub/debian.

Re: Questions for maintaining several packages

1998-04-07 Thread Alex Romosan
1) xteddy

   Xteddy is a cuddly teddy bear for your X Windows desktop.
   It is more or less an excersise for package bundling and
   maintaining.
   In fact xteddy is a must have for any Linux distribution :-))

you can get an xteddy debian package by anonymous ftp from
caliban.lbl.gov in /pub/debian. i am happy to see this finally become
part of the distribution.

ldd strange behaviour

1997-12-18 Thread Alex Romosan
i have a c++ program compiled with no debug flag. when i do an ldd on
the executable i get the following:

ldd ./vat
libtk8.0.so.1 = /usr/lib/libtk8.0.so.1 (0x4000f000)
libtcl8.0.so.1 = /usr/lib/libtcl8.0.so.1 (0x400af000)
libX11.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40115000)
libnsl.so.1 = /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x401b8000)
libdl.so.2 = /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401be000)
---libstdc++.so.2.7.2 = /usr/lib/libg++-dbg/libstdc++.so.2.7.2 
(0x401c1000)
libm.so.6 = /lib/libm.so.6 (0x401fe000)
libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40218000)

if i take /usr/lib/libg++-dbg out of /etc/ld.so.conf an rerun
'ldconfig -v' i get this:

ldd  ./vat
libtk8.0.so.1 = /usr/lib/libtk8.0.so.1 (0x4000f000)
libtcl8.0.so.1 = /usr/lib/libtcl8.0.so.1 (0x400af000)
libX11.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x40115000)
libnsl.so.1 = /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x401b8000)
libdl.so.2 = /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401be000)
---libstdc++.so.2.7.2 = /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.7.2 (0x401c1000)
libm.so.6 = /lib/libm.so.6 (0x401fe000)
libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40219000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x4000)

which, i think, should be the right dependency. is this a bug? which
version of the c++ library is the program actually linked against? i
have both libg++272-dbg and libg++272-dev installed (version
2.7.2.8-0.1 from hamm). ldd is from ldso-1.9.6-2. any clues?
