I'm particularly interested if someone is Yes, I will be there. Michael, Since you'll be there, please raise the issue of the LSB not publishing source in a timely manner and in a convenient format for the LSB development tools[1]. Currently, when they remember to publish source, they do it as a set of individual source rpms instead of a single .tgz which would be much easier to deal with. I've filed a bug on this[2], and discussed it with a member of the LSB for several months prior to that, but last time I checked a couple of week ago, nothing has changed. As it is, I've all but decided to orphan, or request the removal of the packages because they are more of a pain to maintain than I think they are worth, given the few (if any) users of the packages. Please note, I'm only talking about the development related packages, not the run-time support packages such as lsb-base, et al.

Having MTA a provide sendmail which uses MTA b for remote deliveries is no common usage scenario on which any effort should be spent in the Debian packaging infrastructure. Actually the only sane explanation for wanting to install two MTAs I ever heard of was I am running X now and want to switch to Y. - I'd like to test Y in the real system before going live. I know of at least one firewall product that includes 2 copies of sendmail, one for accepting messages from the Internet and one for processing and sending them to the internal servers. This is actually a common setup when using amavis-ng, spamassasin and the rest of the spam fighting packages current available in Debian. It is currently difficult to provide the full capabilities of what all of these packages can do together unless you have 2 systems upon which to spread the 2 MTAs. The 'front' and 'back' MTAs in such an antispam configuration have different requirments, and they can best be met by using different MTAs for each. I think it is worth a small amount of effort to allow multiple MTAs to co-exist. Stuart Stuart R.

On Tue, 8 Aug 2006, Rene Engelhard wrote: Are those fonts manually converted? YOu didn't answer his question. Fair enough. The coffee hadn't quite kicked in yet. 8-) Are they manually converted? Or how are they converted? I wasn't sure what Alejandro had in mind, so I didn't want to answer for him. In the past however, that package was made from some fonts that were manually converted and uploaded to the ming FTP site. The tool that was used for that conversion a few years ago has suffered some bitrot. Can they be converted during-build of some other package (where the fonts are from, when there's OOo fonts I mean ttf-opensymbol and ttf-bitstream-vera). Yes, the packages I have prepared are built as part of the rest of the ming package. The ming source package Build-depends on the package that contains the TTF fonts that will be converted into a libming font package. Upstream ming (and the libming-util package) now includes an updated version of the tool that is used to convert the fonts. It is now trivial to create additional libming format font packages, so some of the feedback I'd like to receive, is which fonts would it be useful to have already converted and packaged.

Re: Bug#381992: ITP: libming-fonts-openoffice -- Fonts for use with the Ming Library for SWF Creation
On Tue, 8 Aug 2006, Hendrik Sattler wrote: Would it be possible to convert them at installation time? Yes, it would be possible. There would be two essential options: 1. creation at installation time: - possibly only one package for all ming fonts (the tool) The tool is currently provided as part of the libming-util package. - less packages on the mirrors 2. building a ming font package for the wanted TTF font packages Subject to the input I receive on this, I estimate that only 3-4 font packages would need to be provided to cover the commonly used fonts. I don't want an explosion of packages in an effort to convert all fonts that are available, but I do think it would be good to provide the common fonts that are used by applications that depend on libming. I'd go for option one with a small util that: 1. installs the ttf font package e.g. via apt 2. converts to ming fonts 3. optionally uninstalls the ttf font package I have so far choosen the other option because I felt that when installing on a production server, I wanted to _not_ do the extra work of converting the fonts as part of the installation, nor did I want to have to go perform a manual step on multiple servers. This could also lead to other applications (which depend on libming) having to build the fonts in their postinstall script, and there could be multiple applications that need the same font. It is still possible to perform option #1 since the tool is provided, but I would like for the common cases to be effortless for the end user. Stuart Stuart R.
