I've been able to upgrade normally during the entire gcc-5 transition.


Lucky you!

aptitude wanted to remove 45 packages yesterday. I spent about 5 hours 
to manually resolve dependencies by uninstalling packages, removing lib* 
packages, adding lib*v5 packages and adding the uninstalled packages 
again to get ALL dependencies resolved


I am not sure it it's a problem of aptitude or the resolver in general, 
but I was not able to "just update".

Just try an update on a recently updated (Sunday) sid system and you'll
see see the conflicts.


I'm unclear as to what you have installed that triggers this, because I've
been using systemd and sid for eons and have never encountered this
behavior.  (That also makes me pretty sure, pace Steve, that this is not
something *systemd* as systemd is actually doing, but some other
component.)


No, I think it's the GCC 5 and the corresponding ABI update that causes 
this. aptitude proposed to remove 64 packages yesterday...

This is true for Unix/Posix systems, but unfortunately not for Windows 
systems. And if the maintainer of a great Perl script wants his script 
to work on both platforms, he'll probably will name it GreatPerlScript.pl
If the extension .pl is linked with a Perl interpreter in Windows, he'll 
be able to run it on both systems without a prepending "perl"


Don't get me wrong here: I see the reasons for removing the extensions, 
but I think this is a valid point for having one in the first place.

xcdroast does no longer work with wodim: Who to blame?

2009-02-24 Thread Andreas Tscharner

Hello World,

xcdroast is looking for cdrecord, which does no longer exist in Debian 
Sid (apparently). And wodim does no longer provide a symlink as cdrecord 
or something (apparently).


So: xcdroast does no longer work. Who is to blame (Bug entry): xcdroats 
or wodim?


Best regards
Andreas

Dear Miriam,

I have very bad feelings when I read the name of this game. It is a
very bad taste play on the word "sturmbahnführer", which is a rank


Actually the rank was "Sturmbannführer" (two "n"s, not "hn")

Bug#327137: ITP: CVSNT -- A better CVS

2005-09-07 Thread Andreas Tscharner
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Andreas Tscharner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


* Package name: CVSNT
  Version : 2.5.02.2064
  Upstream Author : Tony Hoyle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/
* License : (GPL and LGPL)
  Description : CVSNT - A better CVS

CVSNT is an advanced multiplatform version control system. Compatible 
with the industry standard CVS protocol, it now supports many more 
features:
* Authentication via all standard CVS protocols (pserver, ext and 
gserver) and new protocols: server, sserver and sspi
* Secure transport support via sserver or encrypted sspi
* MergePoint processing means no more tagging to merge
* Per branch ACLs for more granular access control
* Unicode support
* Better handling of binary files (Binary Diff and/or Binary 
Compression)
* Under active development

The name originates from a CVS port to Windows. Meanwhile it was ported 
back on GNU/Linux (development is under GNU/Linux) and runs on different 
systems.
