Bug#471834: proposition to split /etc/network/interfaces

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Package: netbase
Version: 4.29
Severity: wishlist

I would like to RFC about splitting /etc/network/interfaces to several
files ie. one file for each interface.

Something like /etc/network/interfaces.d/ with files eth0, wlan0, ppp0,
etc.

That would make easier to maintain machines with several (or even hundreds)
of interfaces which is quite common in big environments.

I doubt it's good goal for lenny release, but maybe it would be possible to
make it happen between lenny+1?

Any comments on that?

include Arabic, Armenian, Balinese, Bengali, Burmese, Chinese, Cyrillic,
Devanagari, Egyptian, Ethiopic, Glagolitic, Greek, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Hebrew,

I'm going to package it since it's new dependency of msort.

I understand that, but mplayer inclusion is a problem since I remember that
mplayer exists. 

I really don't know what have to be checked and why it takes more than
4 years.

Many people contributed much time to make mplayer ready to enter our
archives and as far as I can see they are simply ignored.

Please tell me what's wrong with *current* package and what can we do to
make it better and stop saying me it's license issue.

That's simply boring. Which part of mplayer is non-free for you?

Mplayer comes with his friend mencoder. I doubt that koffeine, totem, xine,
vlc have something to offer in that regard.

And if I can't play something with vlc I'm almost sure it's playable with
mplayer + w32codecs.

Yes, I know there won't be w32codecs package in Debian, but even mplayer
would be great addition.

Point 1.

Find some useful software that isn't already packaged for Debian and
package it. Or adopt some unmaintain one.

You can take a look at http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ for that.

Then ask on debian-mentors mailing list for upload of it to the archive.

Point 2.

Assuming you'll be doing your job well maybe your sponsor will agree to be
your advocate.

I got you sarcasm, but I still think that messages posted to
debian-devel-announce should be more official. Even I you wanted to
inform everybody that it's not proper place to post information not related
to Debian itself you could do it in more formal language... otherwise we're
going to have more ironic posts here, and that's not what most people
expect subscribing to this list.

So I suppose that it shouldn't be possible to compile in such drivers, if
they work only as a module. At least since they aren't ported to new
interface.

Anyway, once again thanks for explanation, and now I'm glad that I posted
this question in blog, otherwise I would probably lost more time to figure
out what's going on.

Yes after some talks on #debian-devel I'm now aware of it, and I won't
upload package using mknod instead of makedev. I hope that new version of
makedev will appear quite soon.

In addition I've filled bugreport against lintian which threated using
mknod as warning and not critical error.

RFT: new fuse package(s)

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Hello.

I would like to request for tests before I'll upload new fuse[1] packages.

They fix many bugs wrt debconf by dropping it at all. In addition
fuse-utils should create /dev/fuse or /dev/.static/dev/fuse device now. 
It also includes mount.fuse script which is preferred way to mounting fuse
resources.

Please test these packages if you're using fuse. If there won't be any
issues I'm going to upload them in the short term (let's say two days).

I'm working on it, but in the same time I'm going to remove whole debconf
stuff, so it needs more tests than usual. 

I hope that'll be enough to put information in NEWS.Debian that
administrator has to clean up mess after previous fuse packages
himself/herself. Because of many debconf configuration issues it's not
possible to do it automatically, and trying to determine it can lead to
non-working system, so I prefer to leave it as is.

BTW: there are in bts some translations of fuse's debconf templates... may
I close these bugs with the upload which will remove templates at all or
should I close them manually with explanation that there won't be any
questions since now?

${Source-Version} without revision

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Hello.

Is there any variable similar to ${Source-Version} which would allow me to
use version of the upstream sources in control file?

I have packages where program and data are distributed separately and
usually there are no need to change data package, but using:

Depends: foo-data (= ${Source-Version})

leads to the situation when I have to bump version of the -data package.
Would be great to have ${Upstream-Version} for such purposes.

Is there something like that I'm not aware of?

I couldn't find anything like that in `man dpkg-gencontrol`.

how to deal with screwed up package

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Hello. 

I'm working on new package for FUSE[1]. Sad to come clean, but I screwed
previous package(s) up. There are plenty of bugs wrt debconf questions and
actions after them. There is also request[2] to simplify or even remove
questions at all. 

Now I'm undecided what to do. The idea was to ask user for the group (gid)
that members will be able to use fusermount (sgid). If group was absent,
then postinst script was creating it, and put its name in
/etc/default/fuse-utils. But if chosen group existed already, then its name
is also in mentioned file. 

Let's say I'm going to remove debconf questions at all. To keep user's
system clean I should remove chosen group, but... because of some
bugs[3][4][5] it's possible to leave system non-working after that.

What should I do? Is NEWS.Debian file and leaving that mess enough?
I'll be very thankful for any hints/comments.

That's imho wrong idea because of at least one very important reason.

Let's say that policy of unstable has changed and now it is required to put
some kind of binaries in /foo/bar/, and lintian warns if you're going to
put them in other place. It's possible that stable distribution even
doesn't contain /foo/bar/ directory or some other needed tool which are now
required in unstable.

pbuilder is something you're looking for.

`apt-get install pbuilder`
`pbuilder create --distribution sid`

You can also use debootstrap to make chrooted sid on your Ubuntu, but
pbuilder is more automated tool (it's a wrapper around debootstrap).

What about home-etc[1] approach?

This way applications need patches, but it doesn't break anything, and in

Upon entering the game you land from your transport and establish your
base. Here you conduct research, design and manufacture vehicles, build new
structures and prepare your plans of global conquest. If the game goes
badly you'll end up fighting last ditch battles here to defend your base
from enemy attacks.

Combat is frenetic, with extensive graphical effects and damage to the
terrain and buildings giving rise to flying shrapnel and boulders. Within
the game are many different structures and vehicles. From an initial
Command Centre, you then go on to build Resource Extractors to provide fuel
for Power Generators, which in turn supply energy to Factories, Research
Facilities and weapons emplacements to protect your base. Features:

* 400+ Technologies to research
* 2,000+ different units to design
* 3 Large campaign maps to conquer
* 24 Fast play mission maps for extra action
* Intelligence Display sets objectives dynamically
* Interactive message system
* Fast Play Interface graphically Based
* Quick Screen Navigation
* Fast Find System for units & structures
* Set Factories to constant production
* Automatically send each factory's units to where you want them 



I don't intend to upload this game anytime soon. Some license issues have
to be fixed first. In fact this ITP is mainly to avoid someone else is
duplicating work.

I'll make unofficial package to easy installation procedure for
Debian/Ubuntu users.

input into records and identifying key fields and greater control over the 
sort order. Its main distinctive features are:

* Msort can be used as a command-line program or via a graphical user interface
  that is helpful not only to those who find a complicated command line 
  difficult to deal with but also to those unfamiliar with the finer points 
  of sorting.
* Records need not be single lines of text but may be delimited in a number 
  of ways.
* Key fields may be selected either by position in the record (counting 
  from the beginning or the end) or by matching a regular expression to a tag.
* For each key an arbitrary sort order may be specified.
* For each key an effectively unlimited number of multigraphs (sequences 
  of characters to be treated as a single unit for purposes of sorting) of 
  effectively unlimited length may be defined.
* In addition to the usual lexicographic and numerical orderings, msort 
  supports sorting by date, time, and string length.
* For each key a distinct set of characters may be excluded from consideration 
  when sorting in any combination of initial, final, and medial position 
  in the key field.
* Lexicographic keys may be reversed, allowing the construction of reverse 
  dictionaries.
* Any or all keys may be optional. For optional keys, the user may specify 
  how records missing the key field should compare to records in which the 
  key field is present.

msort understands UTF-8 Unicode. Unicode may be used anywhere that text is 
entered: in the text to be sorted, in sort order and exclusion definitions, 
as a field or record separator, or as a field tag.

jigdo-search

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Hello.

After last talk about searching for packages on CDs Gaëtan Frenoy wrote
some shell script along with PHP script for such purposes and sent me it
todays morning. 

I made some modifications to it (support for DVDs and get rid of some
temporary files), and it's now at my people.d.o page[1].

Any comments/requests are welcome.

Two of Debian's machines were being moved in that time to their new

You should read debian-devel-announce list if you want to know about such
issues:

Info about relocation:

Info about its finish:

Seems that part of developers think that indirect linking with OpenSSL is
ok, and part think it's not.

skills of developers

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Hello.

I would like to move one subject. What are the required skills of the
developers/developers-to-be?

Debian Policy, Developers' Reference, New Maintainers' Guide and most 
documentation describe only _how to make a good package_. 

Good package in that case means it will comply with Debian Policy.
That's great, but that doesn't ensure us that maintainer know anything
besides mentioned documents. That's not big deal to create Debian package.

That's example:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2005/07/msg00254.html
Nothing against poster of this document... that's only example which is the
most up-to-date one.

Please read whole thread to get know about rationale.

Don't lie ourselves. Everyone who know where to put binary and architecture
independent data and  a little of bashism can became Debian developer.
In general there's nothing wrong with that, but... yes there's BIG BUT here, 
should everyone be able to maintain every package on the world?

Or should we split duties and call persons repectively to their knowlegde?

To be honest I intended to join Debian project mainly to work on
documentation/translation efforts. I was HIGHLY SURPRISED that my
application manager (greetings to him) asked me how to create Debian
package. For Christ's sake who the f*** I am to know about it if I'm going
only to translate some stupid documents huh?

Yep, I learned that and I passed "the exam". Sure I know
C/Python/Perl/ but I hate that. Yes not everone in the Unix/Linux 
world loves to hack.

I'll be never good programmer and I'm aware of it. Knowing C and knowing
C can be two different things. 

In sum. Maybe it's time to create additional positions in Debian project?
Maybe something like Packager (with knowledge about Bash and Debian
Policy), Translator (with knowledge about some particular language and
English), Helper (with knowledge about Debian in general), and finally
DEVELOPER which develops software and is able to fix it if it's broken.
Developers could be splitted to Python/Perl/C/C++/Java/Mono/and so on...

I suppose we're going to have flamewar here as usual, so please... oh
nevermind :P

fEnIo

Bug#315877: ITP: initng -- next generation init system

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

* Package name: initng
  Version : 0.1.3
  Upstream Author : Jimmy Wennlund <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://initng.thinktux.net/index.php/Main_Page
* License : GPL
  Description : next generation init system

Initng is a full replacement of the old and in many ways depricated
sysvinit tool. It is designed with speed in mind, doing as much as possible
asynchronously. In other words: It will boot your unix-system much faster,
and give you more control and statistics over your system.

Not sure how hard would be to integrate this with Debian (had to tune some
files by hand on test box), but it's definitely worth trying.

On my test box it started system almost *three* times faster.

I don't use any hardware detection and my boot process _is_ slow.

I tried on some test machine initng[1] once and it really speeds up boot
process. It can be viewed on some charts[2].

Who moved binary (_architecture_ dependent binary) to -data package?
Basically you don't have to split package if there are no architecture
dependent data in it (or such data is very small).

Maybe you should tell us what program are you going to package.

Newbie caming from MS Windows knows nothing about runlevels. The problem
are users caming from other distros. They used more runlevels almost for
sure, although they probably still don't know about it cause their newbies
right? ;)

Bug#311321: RFP: redet -- regular expression development and execution tool

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

* Package name: redet
  Version : 6.5
  Upstream Author : William J. Poser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~wjposer/redet.html
* License : GPL
  Description : regular expression development and execution tool

Redet allows the user to construct regular expressions and test them
against input data by executing any of a variety of search programs,
editors, and programming languages that make use of regular expressions.
When a suitable regular expression has been constructed it may be saved to
a file. redet stands for Regular Expression Development and Execution Tool.
For each program, a palette showing the available regular expression syntax
is provided. Selections from the palette may be copied to the regular
expression window with a mouse click. Users may add their own definitions
to the palette via their initialization file. Redet also keeps a list of
the regular expressions executed, from which entries may be copied back
into the regular expression under construction. The history list is saved
to a file and restored on startup, so it persists across sessions. So long
as the underlying program supports Unicode, redet allows UTF-8 Unicode in
both test data and regular expressions.

Comparision with other similar tools:

 * Redet supports many programs. Most other regexp tools are aimed at
   a single language or style of regular expression.
 * Redet determines the properties of the programs that actually execute
   the regular expressions empirically. This guarantees that the version of
   the program you are using will actually behave as described. It also makes
   it likely that if new features are added to a program's regular expression
   repertoire, they will be detected and shown on the palette without any
   modification to the program.
 * Redet is explicitly designed for use in a variety of languages and
   writing systems. It provides the ability to change locale without exiting
   and reports whether Unicode support is available for each combination of
   program and locale. It provides special support for Unicode, such as lists
   of Unicode ranges and character properties. Redet itself is fully
   internationalized. By adding a suitable translation catalogue, buttons,
   labels, and messages may all be provided in any language.
 * Most regular expression tools are useful for constructing and
   understanding regular expressions but are not designed for use as search
   environments. Redet provides a number of facilities that make it a good
   search environment, including a relatively large, re-sizable text window,
   the ability to enter both regular expressions and data in various ways and
   to save them to files, editable, persistent history, and journalling.
 * Redet handles both matching and substitution. Most programs deal only
   with matching.
 * Redet allows the user to define named character classes and to
   intersect them.

I suppose it's hard to find people thinking that we didn't change many
things. All in all it's almost 3 years since last release, so that's
natural that most things has been changed. 

Trusted users know what sarge is and how long it took to prepare it so the
version number is probably the least significant part of it. New users 
don't know our numbering scheme so this fact doesn't matter for there too.

And in fact Debian is more known for its toy-story-based naming. How many 
times did you hear that someone said that he/she is using Debian 3.0?
Most people say they use potato/woody/sarge.

I would prefer to be maintainer of the well known distribution which
*doesn't* bump versions only for the fun of it.

I know that for most people numbers have some magic meaning, but please can
we try to provide stable OS by its quality and not version number?

Calling sarge 4.0 won't make it better.

The same for me. And the funny thing is that

Bartosz Fenski is not currently recorded as the maintainer of any packages

But checking http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/utils/fuse-utils I'm listed

I don't want to take over it. Usually if someone is not a DD he/she has to

If someone is interested in new packages they're available at my
homepage[1]. I think they're in overall good shape, but there are not
manpages for utilities, thus I didn't uploaded it yet. Otherwise I think
packages are in good shape to be included in Debian.

I'll try to write manpages during weekend or so.

I think it's a person decision what is he/she doing with his/her free time.
If someone wants to create third policy checker in Ruby, then I have nothing
against it. Sure there are many other more important things to do, but hey,
don't demand particular tasks from someone who wants to do something else.

Just my $0,03.

duplicates of fonts in some packages

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Hello.

I'm packaging adesklets stuff, and it cames with Vera.ttf font included.
We've got this font in ttf-bitstream-vera package, so I was wondering if is
it ok to duplicate it, since some packages are doing it already.

At least that's something what I got after `apt-file search Vera.ttf`.
wesnoth-data and epplets are not a case cause they using symlink to the
font from ttf-bitstream-vera and depend on it.

But widelands-data has its own copy. In addition its copyright file doesn't
mention about different license for this font than for the rest of package.

I assume that symlink is a good way (tm) for such situations, and that
widelands is buggy, but I'm here to ensure myself and maybe others ;)

Also maybe writing some script for finding such duplicates would be
reasonable, it could in addition finds conflicting files in other packages,
but that's only idea ;)

So I suppose that Conflicts: libsdl1.2debian-{all,arts} isn't a solution?

ARTS users won't be able to use Scorched3D then :/

Hmm, so I wonder how it's done in other distros where wxwidgets uses
gtk2.x. Or maybe they don't use `apt-cache rdepends libwxgtk2.4`?

Any reason for such huge disproportions? That's where we got libglib2.0.
Scorched3D built on sarge works fine and doesn't link against libglib2.0.

I asked some of mine friends using other distros for pasting me output of
`ldd /usr/lib/libSDL.so | wc -l`

Here are some stats [ we've got in sid 23 ]

slackware current - 11
gentoo - 14 (we know this could vary a lot)

Also seems that other distros have wxgtk2.4 linked against libglib2.0 and
libsdl doesn't linked against any libglib.
This way most other distros have scorched3d linked against libglib2.0, but
only because wxgtk2.4 and not libsdl.

I'm not sure what to do now. Is it possible to link our wxgtk2.4 against
glib2.0? Or unlink libsdl from using libglib?

Ok. That's something what I wanted to hear. Great to see that NEW queue is
handled at all and that I had to wait for answer so short ;)

Believe me I'm trying to investigate and fix #295131. Btw any ideas/help 
are welcome. Second RC bug for scorched3d is fixed both in upstream and on
my box, but without fixing first one there's no need to upload.

Once again hints for #295131 are welcome, since afaik it works on sarge,
and not on sid so we've got probably some interesting bug in libglib or
something relevant.

NEW-queue handling after extending group of ftp-master

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Hello.

Usually NEW-queue was handled by the date of first upload of some package.
After tracking of debian-bugs and/or debian-wnpp mailing lists last days
I can say it's not true anymore.

So could someone explain what are the criterions now?

list of packages on private website

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Hello.

That's rather OT, but I wanted to target my question at developers, cause
I suppose that's the only group which would be able to help me.

I would like to put on my homepage list of packages that I maintain. 
I suppose that the easiest way would be to fetch this information from 
ldap database. I don't want to reinvent the wheel, and I'm sure some of 
you have already similar lists on your websites.

I'm also quite sure you want to share your code with others, don't you? ;)

So if someone could announce that he/she has some code, and in turn makes 
my life easier, then it's time to do that.

The perfect solution would be some script which would download these
information once a week and build static pages from it. This way
I wouldn't overload database.

So... who wants to share his code? ;)

fEnIo

Bug#294161: ITP: sshfs-fuse -- filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol

* Package name: sshfs-fuse
  Version : 1.0
  Upstream Author : Miklos Szeredi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

  Description : filesystem client based on SSH File Transfer Protocol

[grabbed from README]
This is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol.
Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy
to set up: i.e. on the server side there's nothing to do.  On the
client side mounting the filesystem is as easy as logging into the
server with ssh.

The idea of sshfs was taken from the SSHFS filesystem distributed with
LUFS, which I found very useful.  There were some limitations of that
codebase, so I rewrote it.  Features of this implementation are:

  - Based on FUSE (the best userspace filesystem framework for linux ;)

  - Multithreading: more than one request can be on it's way to the
server

  - Allowing large reads (max 64k)

  - Caching directory contents

Ok. So maybe ftp-masters shouldn't accept NEW packages, but accept new
binary packages (from existing source). This would allow me to close some
"unfortunatelly" non-critical bugs, and improve overall sarge quality.

I'm sure that I'm not the only one waiting for approval of splitted
packages. 

This way we're back to the NEW queue discussion and some automatic checks
for packages which only incorporate new binary ones.

Yep. Just take a look at other xmms plugins.

`apt-cache --names-only search xmms`

Three of them seem to have xmms names, and I would consider this
as a bug. However only wishlist bug, cause it's ok with policy... it's just
different than most xmms related packages.

Developers' reference and your mail about this queue says that it's run
1 hour before dinstall ;)

Anyway, your mail also says that if someone send you config for dupload
then you are going to include it in some README.
Is this README available somewhere?

Also I saw dput's config and it seems to be somehow universal, I mean it
doesn't include anything about [0123456789] queues... is it mean I have to
use some additional options in command line or maybe I should customize
this example config?

I'm asking cause testing it on "live organism" doesn't seem to be good idea
;)

non-ftp way to upload packages

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Hello.

Is there any way to upload packages without using FTP?
My provider has some queueing stuff and ftp has very low priority... this
way I get many timeouts uploading packages.

The I have to use .commands files and try to upload one more time.

SSH/SCP has very high priority in our LAN, so this way would be great for
me... is it possible to use it?

Is he really got _any_ prority? Sure packages like mplayer are in NEW queue
for very long time, but seems that rest of packages is handled without any
priority and fact that package had already source in the archive doesn't
matter. 

At least that's something what I think after tracking
http://developer.skolelinux.no/~pere/debian-NEW.html

Some packages are being hold (probably forever), but rest seems to be
approved in the order they appeared in NEW queue.

I think you're right. There is always way to remove wrong packages, and
developer which uploaded it could be warned if that case. 
It's still better than waiting for approval for a month, like it is already.

NEW queue and ftp-master approval

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Hello.

Our NEW queue is quite big and time needed to get package into unstable is
rather long. Nothing wrong with that for me, I know that ftp-masters are 
busy and that approving these packages is very important and responsible 
task.

But there are two kind of packages in NEW queue. 

"Totally" new packages and old one that only incorporate new binary 
package(s). These old packages has already source package in archive.

I think the latter should be handled first, and then if ftp-master has
some spare time he/she could handle totally new packages.

Any comments on that?

I wonder if it would be possible to set is as default behaviour along with
some logrotate scripts. Users quite often ask where are dpkg's actions
logged so I think this would be good idea.

Or at least we could ask using debconf if they want to log its tasks.

Really? AFAIR every producent of mobile mp3 player had to pay patent
grants, to be able to distribute his device.

ClanLib 0.7 branch.

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Hello.

ClanLib 0.7.8+svn20041230 has been uploaded to experimental.

If someone wants to test these packages before ftp-master approval, 
fell free to fetch them from http://people.debian.org/~fenio/clanlib/

Any comments appreciated.

regards
fEnIo

According to the author's page it's taken from:
http://www.geocities.com/thestarman3/asm/mbr/MBR_in_detail.htm

Boot blocks are included as a series of properly ordered bytes, so yes... 
seems that it's not DFSG free. Don't know however if it makes it totally 
undistributable. Author chose GPL and it's his decision. You can always 
change those boot blocks by changing bytes listings.

Anyway... if it's impossible to put it in non-free then I'm going to close
that bugreport.

Grabbed from homepage:

This is a Linux program for writing Microsoft compatible boot records. The

to a floppy or FAT partition except that it does not copy any system files,

transition of htop

[Bartosz Fenski aka fEnIo]

Hello.

Could someone take a look at htop transition?

http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?excuse=htop
http://bjorn.haxx.se/debian/testing.pl?package=htop

Both pages say that my package hasn't been built on m68k yet, but that's
not truth. It has been built on 30th of November:
http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=htop&ver=0.5-1&arch=m68k&stamp=1101802311&file=log&as=raw

So why didn't he enter sarge yet?

You didn't attached your rules file and I suppose that there is a problem,
which cause not displaying your question.

Are you sure you've got dh_installdebconf in your binary-common target in
rules file? Otherwise your debconf stuff won't be included automatically in
your final package.
