Re: status of Progeny projects

2003-11-12 Thread Eric Schwartz
On Tuesday, Nov 11, 2003, at 23:39 America/Denver, Peter Zoeller wrote:
Most software installs fail as a result of missing libraries.  I would 
like to see a central repository for all libraries, old, new and 
development.  A repository that when a library dependancy needs to be 
satisfied, the installer be it RPM, APT or anyone elses, can 
automatically access and download the appropriate version of library 
required.  This repository should only hold nothing but libraries, no 
software, no packages, just libraries with a searchable capability 
that one could also manually search and download ones needs.
Just curious... have you ever actually used Debian?  When you write to 
a list comprised of Debian developers that concentrates on Debian 
software and library packaging needs to suggest something we've been 
doing that for years now, I have to wonder why.  If you want to install 
software from Debian, all of our package installation methods 
automatically install all the libraries (and, optionally, any other 
recommended or suggested software) required for full operation.  That's 
what we do.

I'm not sure of the point of your suggestion-- having used more Red Hat 
systems in the past year than bears thinking about, I can see how you 
might think it useful for them, but even in that case, you have 
different libc versions, compiler revs, architectures and sometimes 
even kernels to keep track of, not to mention the version numbers of 
the libraries.  The only sensible solution is to package libraries as 
part of a distribution, in which case I fail to see the utility of your 
idea.

With the version numbers used in linux there is no fear as there is in 
the other OS of overlaying and existing library that would result in 
the breaking of other software.  It would be no problem to run the 
same library beside its earlier parent satisfying the need of all 
software.
Unless the new library was binary-incompatible with the old, requiring 
new revs of all the programs it uses.  And then maybe the new library 
calls executables that don't exist, requiring you to install new 
software packages to handle that.  At this point, it sounds like we're 
back to packaging libraries as part of a complete distribution, in 
which case I'm afraid your 'library-only' archive will not be of much 
use.

Along with this there should be a tool that will allow the cleaning up 
of ones libraries based on lack of activity so that the directories 
holding libraries such as /lib can be safely maintained and kept from 
growing out of hand.
Hrm.  Sounds a lot like dpkg, combined with deborphan.
Thanks to all open source developers for the work that has and 
continues to be done.
You're welcome. :)

That was, in fact, more or less what he was talking about.  (Steve did 
not mention an encrypted tunnel, but did talk about sending personal 
mail through a different server than the work one).

I wouldn't send mails through that channel, even if it was work 
related.
It can look fairly unprofessional if email from your work address goes 
through a different server; I would be surprised and more than a little 
wary if email from a major vendor came through a comcast.net SMTP 
server.

Besides, many US firms have legally mandated document retention 
policies; archiving sent mail may be a required part of that.  Of 
course, most of the time it's probably not.

You should value your integrity more than that.
Which is why he wants to send personal mail through a non-work server, 
no?

It's not perfect, I know.  This sounds pretty nifty, actually, but hard 
to categorize.

But this still doesn't sound quite right, and doesn't mention the 
second
advantage, which is a bit difficult to express in a simple phrase
anyway.
The other thing to remember is that the short description is just a 
hook.  It doesn't have to mention every distinguishing feature of the 
package, or else xemacs would never have been uploaded. :)  Just 
attempt something catchy (which my contribution isn't, really), and 
leave the full description for the appropriate section.

Bug#194961: ITP: yaz -- A C/C++ toolkit for Z39.50/ISO23950 applications

2003-05-27 Thread Eric Schwartz
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-05-27
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: yaz
  Version : 2.0.2
  Upstream Author : IndexData
* URL : http://www.indexdata.dk/yaz/
* License : BSD-ish: http://www.indexdata.dk/yaz/doc/license.php
  Description : A C/C++ toolkit for Z39.50/ISO23950 applications

YAZ is a C/C++ programmer's toolkit supporting the development of
Z39.50v3/SRW clients and servers. Sample clients and servers are
included with the distribution, as well as documentation.

I've put prospective packages up at

http://people.debian.org/~emschwar/yaz.html

if anybody cares to take a look.  The license is basically BSD; it lacks
clause 2 in /usr/share/common-licenses/BSD, and the disclaimer is worded
slightly differently but AFAICT it is functionally identical.

Re: plagiarism of reiserfs by Debian

2003-04-22 Thread Eric Schwartz
I say it ought to be obvious, because Hans put the message in there
intending it to be prominent, rather than (say) putting it in a doc
file.  It is reasonable to assume that he cared about putting this
message in front of everyone who used it.  If you can't understand why
removing it would annoy him then I really doubt your ability to
cooperate with other people.
You have to realize, we still don't know that you're correct about what 
he's upset about,
becuase  Hans has not yet come out and said exactly what the problem 
is.  One early
message he posted in this thread indicated to me that his real problem 
was the lack of
the author list in the Debian package of reiserfsprogs.

And in any event, I don't think debian-devel is the place for him to 
air his concerns.  Except
in extreme cases, we don't overrule a package maintainer's decision to 
package the software
he maintains however he likes.  I don't see any indication he has tried 
unsuccessfully to air his
concerns with the maintainer, either via private email, or by filing a 
bug, so regardless of our opinons,
I don't see that at this point, any of us can do much more than 
generate more material for a flamewar.

I have sent Hans private email, suggesting that he try to work this out 
off-list before resorting to
what appeared to me to be a rather vitriolic email as a first approach 
to the project as a whole.
I don't see that any of the discussion that is going on at this point 
is going to affect in any way the contents
of the reiserfsprogs package, and certainly not in a way that Hans 
would like.

Consider: you don't know what Hans doesn't like.  You don't know how 
he'd like things to change.  You don't
know what he'd consider acceptable, or not.  Nor do any of us, because 
he still hasn't said.  As a result, about
all we can do as a project is comment on whether or not what the 
maintainer did is allowable, and it appears
that removing the message from mkreiserfs is, but deleting the 
contributors list isn't (though that appears to be
unintentional).  We can, as individual members, comment on how we feel 
about what happened, but given that
we don't know exactly what Hans is upset about,  even that is perhaps a 
bit presumptuous.

I suggest we try to give this a rest until Hans can come up with a 
clear statement of what's wrong, and
preferably one that includes his attempts to resolve things privately 
and the results thereof, before we generate
too much more flameage.  Once we know what the actual problem is, we 
can consider what solutions might exist.
As it is, I don't see how we can do anything but fuel the flames.

Re: Hardware Compatibility List for Woody (exist)?

2003-04-12 Thread Eric Schwartz
How can I collect an up-to-date Hardware Compatibility List by 
inspecting (which) Kernel-Code(-Parts)? (How are the SuSE people for 
example do this-they have a very big HCL but I don't know if Debian 
can use the same HCL-?)
Nor, nor could they really-- SuSE generates their list by people paying 
them money to say their hardware is certified under SuSE Linux.  Debian 
has no such entity for people to pay us, and we're not as a rule very 
interested in doing so.  Furthermore, distributions like SuSE and Red 
Hat not only heavily patch the kernels they release, they also rely on 
their customers not generating a custom kernel; it's my impression that 
Debian users, as a rule, are much more likely to do so.

If someone can answer this question I will start working on this so 
there will some up-to-date HCL for Woody.
First you'll have to define what you mean by HCL.  What goes on the 
list?  Is it sufficient for a network card to respond to ifup, or 
should it perform within some epsilon of its rated speed?  What about a 
SCSI card?  Should it be measured to work with disks, scanners, tape 
drives, and ghod knows what else?  Some driver/hardware bugs show up 
only after a hundred hours or so of continuous operation; how long 
should a device be tested until it's considered 'compatible'?  How do 
you maintain the list? What kinds of changes would require a 
recertification, and what kinds wouldn't?

That's not to say this isn't a useful or interesting question to ask; 
just make sure you realize what you're getting yourself into when you 
do.

Re: Crazy idea: removing version numbers from debian

2000-08-30 Thread Eric Schwartz
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Vincent L. Mulhollon) writes:
 Perhaps any package can live in unstable, but any package that has a
 release critical bug older than 1 week is zapped from stable and placed back
 in unstable.  Upon next package upload, it will be reinstated into stable.

Ack!  Can you imagine what would happen under that system with a package
whose bugs are not handled that quickly?  The version in stable would be
$foo, next week it's $foo.1, a week later it's $foo again because of a RC 
bug filed in week 1, another week passes and the bug is fixed, so it's
$foo.1 again.  Not to mention we'd have to start supporting downgrades as 
well as upgrades (although I'm a new developer, I'm fairly sure we don't
do that).

 New packages would not be allowed into stable until x days had passed in
 unstable status without a Release Critical Bug.

Then someone files one when the maintainer's on vacation, nobody has time 
to do a NMU, and it pops back into unstable.  Ick.

 Or perhaps any package can live in unstable, and every package has a copy of
 itself in unstable, but on the last day of the month it is kicked out of
 stable if it has an open RCB.  If you are picky about RCBs, only apt-get
 stable on the first of the month.

What if a RC bug is filed the day before the deadline?  Last day of the
month hits, users apt-get dist-upgrade and then are faced with having to
downgrade their software.

  If you need a buggy package anyway, get it out of unstable.

Better yet, don't put packages into stable until we release.  Stable
has a fairly well-defined meaning; I don't see much benefit from changing 
it.

 In theory this would complicate support because there would be so many
 versions of debian, yet developers survive with daily versions...

But because those daily versions are numbered, we know that the version 
we're getting is the latest (or not, as we choose).  How do you tell
somebody I know that was fixed in the version I uploaded last week;
don't download today's though, as it's known buggy without using version 
numbers?  You could use dates, but that can get hideously complicated
very quickly.

 Finally the idea I like the best is no numbers, only named updates.

See above.  Numbers make a lot of things easier.

 And we'd have a goal for the name.  Like the goal for whiskey release
 would be every package that needs it supports debconf, or the goal for
 vodka is every package supports kernel 2.4 and IPv6, or the goal for
 scotch is every package supports perl 5.6 or whatever.

A great idea.  But can't we do that now?
