Why was php5-sqlite3 removed from lenny?

2008-11-11 Thread Juan Cespedes
On Tue, 29 Apr 2008, packages php-sqlite3 and php5-sqlite3
were removed from unstable and testing (see Bug#478479).
However, I don't see exactly why...

Julien, you stated that PHP5 now supports SQLite3 natively
and with PDO, but it's not true (at least in version 5.2.6-5)
and, even if it where true, I think we should keep
backwards-compatibility with all the PHP scripts which are
using sqlite3_* functions.

Right now, there is no way to use sqlite3 with php5 in lenny.  So,
please, consider adding it back to the distribution (or offering
another solution).

Thanks,

In fact, there are a lot of acronyms used in Debian I cannot find in VERA:

SPI, DPL, DSA, VAC, d.o, d-d-a, ...

The HTP queuing discipline has been added to the latest Debian iproute
package, to be installed in "unstable" in a few hours.

There's no need to have a patched kernel source in order to compile it,
but the patch is still needed to use the htp discipline.

Thanks for your help,

Re: Installed screen 3.9.8-1 (i386 source)

2001-05-09 Thread Juan Cespedes
I know, it was a mistake (it should not have been uploaded to
"stable"); I have talked to James Troup and the current version of
"screen" will be removed from updates ASAP.

Sorry,

This is fixed in syslinux_1.36-1, which I'm uploading now.

I'll look at it.  There is a new upstream version of syslinux;
if these problems are fixed, I will upload it for hamm.

For very simple C programs, you may use `bcc -Md', which
produce .com files.

`bcc' is "Bruce's C Compiler", available as a Debian package.

However, I'm afraid it doesn't have a curses library...

Thanks.

Isaac Asimov and the millenium bug [offtopic]

I have it in a book called "Change! 71 Glimpses of the
Future".  This book is a list of articles written by Isaac from 1974
to 1980.

I only have it in spanish; ISBN: 84-206-9978-0.

Isaac Asimov suggests that we should always use the decimal
system, with one day as the base, and forget about hours, minutes,
seconds, weeks, months, years and so on.  For example, the actual date
would be "10227.4042" (10227 days since Jan 1 1970, 0.4042 days since
12 AM (UTC)).  Using 4 decimals will give us a precision of 8.6
seconds.

How to upload to nonus.debian.org?

I want to upload some packages to nonus, but I don't know how.
What's the correct way to do it?

I've tried anonymous FTP to nonus.debian.org, but I cannot
upload files to any dir...

    Thanks.

Sorry, I think it fails #3 and #4 of the DFSG (it doesn't
allow modifications and derived works).  So, if you still package it,
it may have to go to non-free.

Sorry, but *I* am the maintainer of `syslinux', and I don't
want to orphan it.  So, I'll go on maintaining it, if noone objects.
