I've considered tab-completion and /Va*, but you must realise that they work only in the shell. Neither tab-completion or globbing is available when I'm editing a file and have to write those path names. In Vim insert mode, press ^X^F for completion, ^N/^P to choose among many. Also, in GTK+, file selector boxes allow for tab completion. Also, in emacs one of the expansion techniques used by hippie-expand is to perform filename completion. -- Keith P.S. Despite that I'm in favor of shortness. Even ls instead of dir is worth it for me ;)
Re: Should this be filed as grave? Gcc-2.95
Steve Lamb wrote: I build kernels with alternate compilers all the time. Did you check the log to see which compiler the kernel actually built with? Given that I told it to build with 2.95 and it failed in the same manner as with 3.3 but when I installed 2.95 from Woody which ONLY installs 2.95 it succeeded I, quite frankly, don't care if it compiled with 1.10.0.101.10.2. 2.95 should install what it says it installs, 2.95. Debian has version numbers in the names for a reason and that reason being when people NEED the previous version and not to upgrade to the current one. I have managed to compile using gcc-2.95, using the gcc-2.95 package from testing a few weeks ago. I'm sure that it was actually gcc-2.95 that was used, since the program I was compiling has a bug which manifests itself on gcc 3.x, but not 2.95. And it worked when I used gcc-2.95, (from the debian package), but not with gcc-3.x (also from the debian packages). -- Keith

For instance, in french trains (TGV and Teoz, formerly known as Corailie Intercity trains), electric wires are only available in the most recent coaches and only in 1st class usually. From memory, they are a little bit more common in Germany but not too much and certainly not in all IC trains, especially 2nd class. IC2 trains in finland have electric sockets in 2nd class seats, As well as GSM repeaters. Older trains have electric sockets in the corridor, presumably not for public usage, but no sign forbidding to use them :) Night trains usually have a socket for shavers, which can be rather handy for charging purposes as well. A quick grep on bahn.de says that ICE-T trains (presumably the most expensive ones..) have power sockets for every seat. Anyone with experience on german/austrian railroad? I've only taken a few trains in Germany, but the night train I was on had a socket by each table (to share between 4 people). Other than that, I've only been on the slow regional trains (which you wouldn't be taking anyway, but don't have sockets). So I think batteries would be a good idea... -- Keith
Re: Bug#203498: ITP: decss -- utility for stripping CSS tags from an HTML page.
Sam Hocevar wrote: I object to this ITP. Not very strongly, but I still object. I think it's a wonderful idea to have a decss package in Debian. If Debian cannot distribute the decss that allows Debian users to view DVD movies (yet), then distributing this one is a good alternative, I'd say. This is really no different from the RIAA uploading broken MP3s to P2P networks so that users think they are real music. (Disclaimer: I am really not a music piracy advocate, but I strongly believe that such behaviour has the sole effect of confusing users) Although the RIAA might confusing P2P network users as a good thing. I would hope confusing debian users would be seen as a Bad Thing(tm) ;) -- Keith

It's what I've done with the Jabber bug reports that only affect the woody release. Except gcc-2.96, gcc-3.2 and gcc-3.3 are all available in sarge (for example), last time I checked... -- Keith

[0] (In private mail, one of the upstream developers who uses Debian told me that he would not use those debs, even if someone paid [him], I've been getting private mails form other users with the same bad experience with phpgroupware.) Maybe you are one of the examples on why the NM process isn't thorough (slow) enough at present. Your ideas of hindering people contributing is a non-sense i've already told you. There is no benefit in this for anyone. We have never discussed about your adoption of phpgroupware, so i don't see why you felt free to adopt it. I've already told you, and i'm writing it publically, that an infrastructure to cooperate is up in place and i've already told you i would have let you contribute beside your almost intent to hijack. I wrote it publically in _many_ ways i wanted people to help me, but the only answares i got was to take over the packges (and many fake intent to contribute). This really make me sick. Maybe he was confused and thought that you wanted someone to adopt phpgroupware because you'd filed a Request For Adoption on it? -- Keith
