Bug#545151: ITP: libnatspec -- a library for national and language-specific issues

  Description : a library for national and language-specific issues

 This library provides userful functions for dealing with locales and charsets.
 Natspec helps to solve most problems related to text reencoding. It enhances
 portability and allows projects not to try to deal with lanuage-specific
 issues themselves.

Can you run into details a bit?

Well, ifupdown will still need state files, because they are used to
store the certain configuration chosen for the given interface during
ifup. Another thing is that they may be ignored when the interface
isn't really 'up', as per kernel.

What do you think?

I mean, isn't up when doing ifup, of isn't down when doing ifdown.

Don't know what do you mean when you say 'shortcuts' and how they don't
work. You can use multiple configurations in your config file, and do

  $ ifup eth1=home

Then state file will have a record eth1=home, so ifdown eth1 will know
which configuration to use to take the interface down.

Of course, man guessnet. Just few lines.

mapping eth1
script guessnet-ifupdown
map default: dhcp

iface eth-home inet static
test peer address 192.168.0.1 mac ...
...

iface dhcp inet dhcp

The last requirement is fulfilled by means of installing ifplugd.

If you do `ifdown`, either manually or by unplugging the cable, the
problem doesn't appear to exist. Calling ifupdown may be inserted into
the suspend/resume scripts.

rock around hwclock.sh

2011-04-12 Thread Andrew O. Shadoura
Hello,

I'd like to hear opinions on hwclock.sh operation.

Few thoughts of my own:

i) It's still quite common that battery in the RTC becomes flat.
In this case, hwclock.sh silently sets system clock to 1970 (or
whatever else nonsense), efficiently turning file access and modify
times into a mess, and also causing at least two fscks of the root fs.
It'd be good if `hwclock.sh stop` stored the current system time in a
file, and on boot, if the current time (as per RTC) is earlier,
set the system clock to $storedtime + small-enough-constant, so at
least the time runs forward. I've implemented this on my local machine
(I had problems with my RTC for a while) and it worked. And yet more:
NTP isn't always available, especially whe you're mobile.

ii) Possibly, `hwclock.sh stop` should be run more frequently than just
once on shutdown, because it sometimes happens that the system doesn't
shut down correctly. If that happens after some time correction (like
DST), system time can go wrong, and ntp might not perform the automatic
correction. Possibly, hwclock saving can be done, for example, once a
day per anacron, or... any more ideas?

iii) Also, it would be good to hear opinions about negative
consequences of saving the system time to the RTC on frequent basis.

Thanks for your responses.

 tnat64 provides transparent network access to IPv4 hosts via NAT64

 to establish TCP connections and transparently proxies them as
 necessary.
 This allows existing applications with no IPv6 support to still be
 able to reach the network with no need in modifications.

Easier is to write a one-liner:

mcs maintainership

2011-05-23 Thread Andrew O. Shadoura
Hello,

Considering that Adam Cécile (Le_Vert) hasn't been doing much work on
the package in question (mcs), and that I have prepared a packaging
for the new and the last upstream version, I'd like to become a new
maintainer for the package at least for the time this package is still
in use by at least one another Debian package.

These are the changes I've made to the packaging:

  * New upstream release.
  * Use dh7 and DebSrc3.0:
- Drop dpatch.
- Drop README.source.
- Use dh_installdocs instead of *.links tricks.
  * debian/control:
- Depend on autotools-dev (>= 20100122.1) which supports dh7.
- Update Standards-Version to 3.9.2.
- Updated the homepage.
- Updated the descriptions of the packages.
- Added Vcs-* fields.
- Purged KConfig backend.
  * Ship *.symbols and *.doc-base files.
  * Link with --as-needed.
  * Don't output ANSI codes during the build process.
  * Ship doxygened documentation (Closes: #521010):
- Run Doxygen on build.
- Also depend on LaTeX/TeXLive and Ghostscript.

Jakub Wilk agreed to sponsor this package if there will be no
objections from the current maintainer.

First of all,
http://mova.org/~cheusov/pub/debian/dists/lenny/main/source/

Here are the original packages by Alexey. They have some problems, they
aren't really policy-compliant and so on. I did some work on some of
them, mostly bmake. I keep it versioned in Mercurial repository here:
  http://anonscm.debian.org/hg/collab-maint/bmake/
  http://anonscm.debian.org/hg/collab-maint/pkgsrc-mk-files/ (not much
here yet).

(After Alioth migration, hgweb isn't operational yet, but cloning via
http works, however.)

Last Friday, he had a discussion with Alexey and decided that we will
do the packaging work on these and other packages together as soon as
he gets an Alioth account.

Well, I really dislike git's interface, but darcs appears to be

Possibly. I haven't seen both yet, but I like how `hg record`/`hg
qrecord` works. If darcs provides anything better --- well, good for

too :)

ifupdown 0.7~alpha4 in experimental

2011-06-08 Thread Andrew O. Shadoura
Hello,

As some may already have noticed, the new ifupdown revision, 0.7~alpha4
entered experimental, and is successfully built at least on i386 and
amd64.

This was made possible by Roger Leigh's help and submitters of patches
that were kindly stored at the BTS. Of course, the most of work was
done by the initial author, Anthony Towns.

The most important change is, of course, the migration to /run
directory. Also, ifupdown has now better support for IPv6, and doesn't
depend on net-tools any more.

Please test it extensively and report any new issues, as well as not
fixed or not completely fixed old ones.

Here's the complete changes list:

   * New maintainer.
   * Removed VCS repository from the tarball (Closes: #417718).
   * Add source stanza (Closes: #159884, #149395, #471834).
   * Fix bashism in example script get-mac-address.sh (Closes: #518924).
   * Use DebSrc3.0 source format and dh7.
   * Add auto method for IPv6, fix static method (Closes: #604136).
   * Update URL for Debian Reference (Closes: #610238).
   * Fix typos in the man page (Closes: #384143, #415285).
   * Add GRE and IPIP tunnels support (Closes: #158089).
   * Fix inet/static pointopoint option (Closes: #460276).
   * Add support for enabling/disabling IPv6 privacy extension
 (Closes: #520576).
   * Move network state file to /run/network (Closes: #389996).
   * Fix init script dependencies (Closes: #607713, #601705).
   * Add MTU setting for v4tunnel (Closes: #408453, #575110).
   * Allow multiple interface definitions to ease work with multiple IP
 per interface.
   * Allow passing PPP options, pass updetach by default (Closes:
 #196877).
   * Add 6to4 tunnels support (Closes: #357929).
   * Add CAN interface support (Closes: #584530).
   * Drop 0.5.x migration script.
   * Drop dependency on net-tools; suggest it instead.
   * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.2.

Thanks.

In ~alpha5, new options appeared to ease tuning IPv6 SLAAC a bit, please
consult the manpage for the details if you're interested.

hgweb on alioth

2011-06-24 Thread Andrew O. Shadoura
Hello,

Just wanted to mention that hgweb interface on alioth is still not
working. It'd be good if anyone responsible for this fixed it (it's not
really that hard).

TeX packages

2011-07-07 Thread Andrew O. Shadoura
Hello,

Is it possible to run mktexlsr and updmap-sys (and, possibly, other
TeX things) just once when installing or removing packages which need
to run them in postinst/postrm? I've been trying to remove some
not-really-needed latex-cjk-* packages to minimize my old
laptop's system installed size, and the removal process appeared to run
for ages...

Nothing went wrong, it was just doing mktexlsr/updmap-sys after each
package's removal. And no, I have no log, unfortunately :(

Well, I think I need to upgrade the packages and to try to reproduce
the situation.

Wow! Thanks for pointing me to this. (Eugene: Sorry, I'm no DD.)

So, color or colour? ;) I'd prefer colour, but anyway there should be
some consistency, possibly...

mentors.debian.net: login problems

2011-08-15 Thread Andrew O. Shadoura
Hello,

Since mentors.d.n was upgraded, I can't log in. Even if I reset my
password, I can't log in with a temporary one.

Any ideas what can it be?

Actually, both mplayer and mplayer2 once were the names of the standard
Windows programs :)
