DSA'a are available in RDF. There exists a link on the bottom of
www.debian.org/security to it.

Do you mean, that it should be 
Build-Depends: c-shell
or that all shell-like scripting should be Bourn-compatible?

Any of these assumptions can be considered seriously, frankly
speaking.

The first trouble we will face on this way is blockage of new 2.4
packages to be accepted to testing without any good reason. Possible
solution is to lower severity from grave to wishlist :).

FVWM 2.5.x debs

2003-04-28 Thread Alexander Kotelnikov
Hello.

Recently I was reported [1] by Marco d'Itri that FVWM from stable
branch (2.4.x) does not work with GNOME2, so he requested 2.5.x
packages from me.

Olivier Chapuis clarified the situation in his reply [2] to my
question in fvwm-workers mailing list.

FVWM packages are ready and apt'able now for stable and unstable on
386 architecture. Sources are provided in unstable branch only (since
stable package is just a rebuild).

Lines for sources.list are:

deb http://people.debian.org/~sacha/debian stable main
or
deb http://people.debian.org/~sacha/debian unstable main

deb-src http://people.debian.org/~sacha/debian unstable main


Actually, I would like to close #189664 without uploading any fvwm2.5
packages to unstable, if no one  objects.

Unfortunately, there is no automatic way to do so, which could be good
for unofficial autobuilds in case of package that have Build-Conflicts.

May be you should use symbolic links? I.e. install yourdata to fixed
directory, /usr/share/yourdata/, probably, and  then create symlinks
from there using debconf.

Think you need to use TSD, thread specific data. 
man pthread_key_create.

bzip2 does great with sources. Packages maintainers can put large amounts of
code in bz2 and than in orig.gz, this will save space on src-CDs
