 Loïc, you offered to NMU this package here:
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=422590

 This vastly improves the Gnome sound situation. Hope we can get this in for
 Lenny.


Loïc has indicated that he doesn't have time to do this NMU. Can someone
else take this?

Hi,

Pardon me for resurrecting this slightly old thread but there's been an
important development. Jeffrey Stedfast has resolved the esd deadlocking
issues when used with PulseAudio. Among other things, this solves the Pidgin
and Flash crashing problems (both of whom consume esd output while Pulse is
running with -compat).

http://jeffreystedfast.blogspot.com/2008/07/pulseaudio-i-told-you-so.html

It appears that he also made a correct release by merging our downstream
changes to libesd that were rotting in Gnome's Bugzilla.

Lenny.

 so please file installation reports!

(The follow is also filed in an installation report.)

RAID+LVM /boot doesn't work as of yesterday's build. It seems fixable; a
manual invocation of update-initramfs -k all -u in the /target
with /target/proc and /target/sys mounted before the first reboot fixes
the issue.

Also, when forced to use the LILO boot loader because of a RAID
+LVM /boot, LILO takes *forever* to actually load the initramfs from the
physical media. Parade of dots followed by BIOS data check successful
occurs while waiting.

Also, by default, CPU frequency scaling is disabled for desktop
installs. This should be turned on; we are trying to save the world
after all, aren't we? 130,000+ Debian users with CPU Frequency scaling
enabled would save a lot of energy with no noticible impact to desktop
performance. Save the planet!

patching a package?

2006-05-08 Thread Jason D. Clinton
Third try posting this. Something is wrong with Debian's mail server?

Sorry, I'm new to the dpkg system. I looking around on the web site and
couldn't seem to find good docs on this specific issue. Appologies if I
missed it.

I want to take a Debian source package and make a few changes to do it
and then recompres it and test it. If it works I want to generate a
patch which I can send to the maintainer. What would be the best way to
do this?

kudos to ftp-masters

Yes, seriously. We always complain about the NEW queue. I would just like to 
give some kudos to ftp-masters dealing so well with the bumpy xorg transition 
and for taking us down from 180 packages last week to 90 this week. Keep up 
the good work, guys.

 Hey Guys, could you CC-me if you continue the thread,

 Could you tell me what to do if it seems I just forgot my passphrase
 for my GPG key, and it blocks me to upload/fix my outstanding bugs on
 different packages?

In short, your key is gone and with the current long delays in getting new 
keys added to the keyring, that's a big problem. You can't recover a GPG 
password.
