Re: Re: FFmpeg vs. libav packaging
Hi! Do you have a good idea how to avoid all the problems of mixing both libraries while also creating a sufficient usage of the FFmpeg libraries in a way that both libraries can be in testing at the same time, or are you just setting a hurdle intended to be impossible to pass for FFmpeg? I'm pretty sure Debian already had to deal with multiple situations like that. I can't think of the examples off the top of my head, but what about for example the two sets of Kerberos libraries, krb5 vs. heimdal? I think others could point out other examples. Is the situation here fundamentally more difficult? Petr Pasky Baudis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: systemd - getting started?
Hi! In fact, I installed systemd on my jessie system just yesterday. So far I filed two (not very major, promptly being dealt with) bugs and after a lot of initial conservative scepticism, I'm quite excited especially by journald. :) I found switching to systemd trivial by just following: /usr/share/doc/systemd/README.Debian After a reboot, I just played with various systemctl, journalctl and loginctl commands to get a feeling of it. My first experience with a service file has been following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd_FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_avoid_clearing_the_console_after_boot.3F (note that on Debian, stock service files live in /lib/systemd, not /usr/lib/systemd). My rsyslog prints all logs to /dev/tty12 and it continued to do that just fine after a switch to systemd, but I decided I like the color coding provided by journalctl and thus wrote my first systemd service file that'll make journalctl run permanently on /dev/tty12, printing new log entries. I described what I got (after 10 minutes, incl. reading manual and debugging) on: http://log.or.cz/?p=327 http://pasky.or.cz/dev/systemd/journal@tty12.service Hope that's useful, Petr Pasky Baudis -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: wine-unstable in Debian
Hi!

I have read that post originally, it explained well why you created the packages but not why they are not simply merged into Debian. As I understand it now, you are neutral about their inclusion, i.e. there is no technical reason the packages couldn't be uploaded to Debian until Ove's version is ready, but you aren't interested in investing your personal time in this effort? Johan Grönqvist wrote: At http://bugs.debian.org/585409 you will find more recent status updates, and you will also see that progress is being made. Thanks, I have read through that bug report. I am rather dazzled that while there is working source package of wine-1.5 ready, other people are working on gradually packaging wine-1.1.x releases; I don't quite follow the reasoning behind that except Ove's mention of QA resons. Also, it seems the current direction of that discussion is still to make the package perfect first and upload it then rather than vice versa, which seems unfortunate to me, but I'm still glad that there is a recent surge of activity!

wine-unstable in Debian
Hi! It appears that the last release of wine easily available in Debian is from 2009, quite a surprising state for a high-profile project like that. Kai Wasserbäch appears to be very kindly providing wine-unstable packages for Debian at http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/ I would like to ask if you have considered contributing these packages to Debian sid, or if there is some major hurdle preventing that action? I know that there is also an effort by Ove Kåven to bring wine up-to-date with some nice extras (thanks for that too!), but it seems to be quite slow-paced (the last status update I have found was from Sep 2011), so perhaps it would be beneficial to have working solution in Debian now and perfect solution as soon as it's ready? :-) Can anyone else help with the process?
