DM upload permission
Hello All: I have been a sponsor for a DM's uploads of the nexus package and we have come across a new policy which defines a way of giving permission to a DM for a specific package. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2012/09/msg8.html I have studied the above thread and any related posts I could find and attempted to follow the instructions therein. unfortunately, the examples given don't seem to be complete and my attempt to provide authorization for the nexus package did not seem to work (neither I nor the DM got any email confirmation). Is there any more explicit instruction on how to initiate this process correctly? Here is what I tried: 1. made a file called segre-0001.dak-commands with the following contents Action: dm Fingerprint: 8CCC1BA8590FF029D17C708FC1BCD3C72AA28B6B Allow: nexus 2. signed this file with my key and produced an ASCII file using gpg --clearsign segre-0001.dak-commands 3. uploaded the file to ftp-master using dput segre-0001.dak-commands.asc Clearly, I must have done at least one thing wrong, probably more than one so I would appreciate advice from anyone who has sucessfully navigated this process.

definition of contrib & buildd inconsistency
Hello All: The definition of the contrib section of the archive reads [0] Examples of packages which would be included in contrib are: * free packages which require contrib, non-free packages or packages which are not in our archive at all for compilation or execution, There is apparently an ambiguity here since a contrib package can depend on non-free in two distinct ways: 1. depends only at runtime, for example a non-free Perl or Python module. 2. depends at build time and runtime, for example a package which needs non-free libraries to be built and linked to. Which is the correct interpretation? If both are included, then all buildds MUST include non-free sources. This is not currently the case. If only 1 is included in the definition for contrib, then any package which falls in category 2 MUST be moved to non-free. Personally, I have no preference as to the interpretation but the current state, where some of the buildds do not include non-free sources and contrib packages can fall under both the categories listed above is inconsistent and needs to be resolved. An alternative which would remove the inconsistency is to make the decision that contrib packages will not be built by the officeial buildd network but have to be built as non-free packages are, on the unofficial buildd network.

Building contrib packages
Hi All: I have been maintaining a contrib package which, unfortunately, depends on a non-free package, pgplot5, to be built. This invariably causes problems because contrib packages are autobuilt by the normal buildd network and some, not all, of the buildd machines do not include the non-free sources. The consequence is that the build fails completely. I have circumvented this for most architecures by purchasing one of each different architecture (except for s390 and hppa) and just building the package on all of them and uploading multiple binaries ar a time. Nevertheless, the package is stalled in unstable becuse the remaining architectures are failing to build for the above reason. I have asked for the non-free sources to be included on the buildds and this is not universally thought to be a good idea so I have come up with another suggestion. How about if contrib packages, which are after all not officially part of Debian, are moved off the official buildd network and onto the unofficial non-free buildd network? It stands to reason that the non-free buildd network would include the non-free sources and so would be the right place to build the contrib packages. I have found this network to be quite reliable, in general as my non-free packages are built without any problems. I rather like having 8 different architectures in my server room but manually building all the binaries each time I release a new version of my contrib packages is tedious. I suspect that there might be others with the same problem. I would much rather not have to deal with non-free but the pgplot5 package is, unfortunately, unique and as of now there is no free replacement for it. Cheers, Carlo -- Carlo U.

Hi Carlo, can you imagine applications where this "variety of sources" includes x-ray data from medical care? I'm wondering whether this package might be an interesting target for the Debian Med physics task. Or are the ITPed packages rather targeting at particle physics and do not really targeting at medical care? IMHO it would not harm if you would add the answer to this question as a separate paragraph to the description. Hmm, the answer is that these modules allow the calculation of how matter absorbs xrays of different energies. The McMaster tables are the basic reference and have been extended by the Elam and Henke tables to provide additional quantities (fluorescence and total cross-section). The calculations can beused byt many different kinds of researchers, basically anyone who is interested in the interaction of x-rays with matter. I am sure that this includes medical physicists but I do not know if there are other tabulations of data specifically made for medical physics. The calculations are probably not terribly useful to particle physicists though, more to condensed matter and materials physicists and chemists. These modules are necessary components for the horae suite of programs for analysis of x-ray absorption spectroscopy and they used to be hidden in the horae package but have been split out now. i will certainly consider improving the long description in future releases.

access to debian mirror pools
Hello All: I have noticed a behavior which I can't quite understand. I had noticed that some of my computers getting files from http.us.debian.org had consistently lower bandwidths than others pointed to the same source. I have investigated this by grabbing individual files with wget and I have discovered that the same IP address is selected each time I run wget on a specific computer. Different computers access different IP addresses but each one ALWAYS uses the same one. I have tried using the --no-dns-cache as in the wget manual but that changes nothing. I was under the impression that http.us.debian.org is a random pool, and indeed, when I use the 'host http.us.debian.org' command repeatedly, I get the IP addresses in a different order every time, it is strange that wget (and apparently apt-get as well) doesn't randomize. Any insights? Is this a bug, if so for what package? Carlo -- Carlo U.

In my case, I am not running xdm but gdm and I am able to log in and run any X applications from the GUI but if I try to run one from a command line in a a terminal, I get the same message. This happens only when I am using a Gnome session. With a Debian session it works fine. Furthermore, as root there are no problems. Since I am seeing this on one of three machines which are presumabley set up in the same way, I am presuming that it is some incorrect configuration file somewhere. If anyone has an insight, I would appreciate it. My next move is to purge all X packages and reinstall... Carlo Segre Assoc. Prof. of Physics Illinois Institute of Technology
