transitioning from a single to split package

2009-11-01 Thread Penny Leach
[ please cc both me and the package team ]

Hi debian-devel

The Moodle package team is currently evaluating how to best upgrade the
existing not very well working, and out of date package.

Moodle is a webapp that works with both mysql and postgres. We currently
have a single package that supports both (badly) and we're talking about
migrating to a split package, using dbconfig-common.

The problem we've come across is how to handle migrations.  If we have a
moodle package, that depends on moodle-mysql | moodle-pgsql, then package
managers that just install the first dependency, could cause a situation,
for example, where someone has configured their moodle installation to work
on postgres, but the upgrade installs moodle-mysql, which is obviously a
problem.   We could detect this case in preinst, and complain bitterly and
refuse to install, but that's going to break upgrades, so is obviously a
no-goer.

I think the best way to handle this, is stop having a moodle package at
all, but instead have a moodle-common package, that depends on either
moodle-mysql and moodle-pgsql.  These two obviously depend on
moodle-common, and conflict with each other, and all three new packages
conflict with the old moodle package.

This, I believe avoids the migration problem, and forces a manual
installation.  If we ship with a NEWS.Debian (inside moodle-common, I
guess), which announces that one must manually install moodle-mysql or
moodle-pgsql, is this a good enough way to migrate from a single to a split
package without breaking the upgrade?

Cheers,
Penny

Re: transitioning from a single to split package

Hi,

On Sun, Nov 01, 2009 at 08:01:20PM -0600, Raphael Geissert wrote:
 First of all, why do you want to split moodle? there's for example phpbb3
 which uses dbconfig and allows multiple different DBMS as backends.

Fair question.  There's also quite a few packages that depend on
dbconfig-common and have split between -mysql and -pgsql - to be honest, we
thought that was the general direction packages were taking that supported
both, but that may have been based on a faulty assumption.

Personally, I think it's tidier, and less ambiguous for users.

 Second, why wouldn't users be allowed to install both, together, the -mysql
 and -pgsql versions?

Well, that's logically equivalent to installing multiple versions of the
same package.  At the moment,  there's one moodle installation, which has
code that lives in /usr/share/moodle, and connects to one database.   This
is determined by its one config file.  You can do tricks in the config file
to fool Moodle into connecting to different databases, based on some rule
(like virtualhost), but I don't see the use case here, and I don't think
any other web applications support being installed multiple times, do they?

Cheers,
Penny

Bug#487840: ITP: buffycli -- Buffycli is a command line alternative to Buffy

2008-06-24 Thread Penny Leach
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Penny Leach [EMAIL PROTECTED]


* Package name: buffycli
  Version : 0.1

  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : Buffycli is a command line alternative to Buffy

 Buffy is a program that displays a compact summary of your mail folders, and
 allows to invoke a command (usually a mail reader) on them.  It is written
 with the intent of being a handy everyday tool for people handling large
 volumes of mail.  For mutt users, this can be a nice front-end to supplement
 the simple built-in folder browser when one has many folders to keep track of.
 .
 Buffy tries hard to work out of the box: it looks for mail folders in sensible
 places and comes with reasonable defaults.
 .
 The program is functional but still very young, and only Maildir and
 Mailbox format are supported at the moment.

While you're obviously free to set your own standards as to whose keysyou sign and not, I have come to the conclusion that the exact samespelling requirement doesn't make that much sense.As an example, take
Bdale whose real name isn't Bdale, but Barksdale Garbee III (iirc, it'sbeen some time since I last saw his passport, apologies if for anymisspellings, etc).He goes by the name of Bdale and more people know
him by that name than by Barksdale, so signing his key based on thismakes sense.The same goes for middle names people never use, etc.Me too. My passport and NZ Driver's License both say Penelope, but I have gone by Penny all my life, and that's the name on my key. 
I'm pretty sure there were people at Debconf5 who didn't sign my key because of this. That's fine, everyone is entitled to their choice, although it struck me as a little bit silly. Penny is clearly short for Penelope. Perhaps this was my bad when I made the key  displayed a lack of foresight.
This is probably not really a useful contribution to this discussion; carry on.Penny-- context: http://she.geek.nz ||

There is nothing stopping you from adding a new user-id with your full name

penelope.leach, that's because most non numeric variations on 'Penny' were all taken :)I frequently find that people I have known for years never knew my name was Penelope. Perhaps they would refuse to sign the Penelope uid because they have always known me as Penny?
It doesn't bother me enough to add a Penelope uid, just another element to the issue of trying to verify identity.-- context: http://she.geek.nz ||

Jim Penny

 This is not strictly orphaning, more infanticide.  I'm not sure
 conventional orphaning fits, since the source package is not being
 orphaned.
 
 The PostgreSQL python interface (python-pygresql) has been separated
 upstream into its own source tree.  Since it no longer needs to be
 built with postgresql itself, and since I do not use python, the
 python binaries will no longer be built when postgresql 7.4 is
 released (in a few weeks).

The problem, amazingly enough, is that he did google for dueling

This has become a self-perpetuating google-flop.  People google, google

 nethack is the only game which comes to mind which does this, and I
 think it should probably be changed to keep the saved game in the
 user's home directory.  This was clearly done in order to try to
 prevent cheating, but again, these days the player has root anyway.


Hmm, that is not the only reason, and maybe not the real reason.  What
about bones piles?  Doesn't nethack do this partially so that levels
from dead games could be reused in future games?  On a multi-user
system, you get a better set of bones piles, because you have no idea of
what killed the adventurer, and probably no idea of whether anything is
worth picking up and risking the possibility of a curse.

  I'd say.
 
 You're clearly quite mad.  Regardless of whether this script is
 trivial to implement, it's not something anyone should be encouraged
 to actually*use*.  CSS is the *best* feature of the HTML4 standard. 
 Why would anyone in their right mind wish to strip nearly all the
 logical structure markup out of a document?

Uhh, it is to tweak the international copyright cartel, and the RIAA in
particular.  They have written cease and desist letters to anyone who
has a file names deCSS on their system.  This is an attempt to make such
a filename so common that these letters are pointless, and possibly
evidence of illegal activity.

 NOT to the init script (although anything more than a NOT will be
 controversial as well...). Reminds me of something I should fix for my
 packages...

This is a completely different complaint, more of an aside that should
never have been raised here. It has nothing to do with the change in
format of configuration information, debconf-ing or not debconf-ing. It
has to do with the experience of making repeated changes to the
configuration file, while feeling under some time pressure, 
running/etc/init.d/stunnel restart, 
seeing no output, and thinking silence is golden.  You know, the usual
Unix tradition.

 My original argument stands:  we should not be telling our users that
 we broke their system, because we shouldn't be breaking it in the
 first place.  In this instance, it sounds to me like a bout of
 upstream bogosity has resulted in a rather grave regression in the
 quality of the software.  Why would it ever be a good idea to *not*
 give users the ability to control the program using commandline
 options?

Because of security considerations.  The configuration file is read on
startup, and then stunnel chroots away, so that it is no longer visible.
The command line interface leaked information, internal IP
structure, internal ports, etc. that a really paranoid person might
prefer not be visible.

While it is indeed preferable to not break things, there are times when
avoiding breakage is quite difficult.  This appears, to me, to be
one of those times.

I was aware of the issue, because I had looked at the upgrade for
Windows users.  I still got mildly bitten by this upgrade.  I would
prefer to have a hard stop message.

Not often.  Most slow release libraries are strongly backwards

 Exactly.  If there is no possibility for original expression within the
 technical constraints imposed, one has no ability to generate the sort
 of work which copyright is designed to protect.

about 48 or more scripts are encoded.

ASCII was frozen.

That leaves 47! ways to order the scripts (and they did not choose
alphabetic by english name).

Latin alone has 840 code points (characters).  Even given that there
is a traditional ordering in the portions of this, there are other big
spans that have no natural order.  Bunch more choices made here.

Then, each character has a potential of 22 binary properties, (not 
derived from UnicodeData.txt, but in a separate file PropList.txt), and 
14 fields, most of which have 20 to 256 or more options.

I would venture to guess that even with a perfect oracle, it would be
essentially imposible to reverse engineer the Unicode data files, much
less the ancillary algorithms.  That is, a 32 bit search space with at
least 36 properties to be discovered per data point is whopping big.

Re: location of UnicodeData.txt

2002-12-03 Thread Jim Penny
 But they clearly do not want you to modify anything, including
 character name!  Character name is a searchable field, which some
 applications may need.  

It's an English field, for which there is a canonical translation
for French, and there should be translation for other languages.

But, on the unicode stability policy page 
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/stability_policy.html
it says:

  The character names are used to distinguish between characters, and do
  not always express the full meaning of each character. They are
  designed to be used programmatically, and thus must be stable.

  In some cases the original name chosen to represent the character is
  inaccurate in one way or another. Any such inaccuracies are dealt with
  by adding annotations to the character name list (which is printed in
  the Unicode Standard and provided in a machine-readable format), or by
  adding descriptive text to the standard.

  Note: It is possible to produce translated names for the characters,
  to make the information conveyed by the name accessible to non-English
  speakers. 

Hmmm.  What does that mean?  Are translated names to be annotations,
descriptions, character names, or are they maintained in a separate
table?  How do you use the name programmatically if you don't know the
language they are in?

I did some googling, but could not find the French trasnlation files. Is
there an URL?

Re: location of UnicodeData.txt

2002-12-03 Thread Jim Penny
  If a system simply declared a section of data to be
  UniCode data, and made no attempt to comprehend the contents, it
  probably would not need to have access to the contents of Unicode.txt.
 
 Just like if a system simply declared a section of data to be
 code complaint to Fortran-2026, and if it made no attempt to
 comprehend it, it wouldn't need access to the contents of that
 standard. A text-processing program that needs to display data is 
 going to need the contents of UnicodeData for BiDi. A proper
 cut program should use UnicodeData, so it doesn't seperate a 
 character from a subsequent combining character. A spell program 
 is going to need the data to know which characters end words. 
 Anything that handles text in a way more complex then cat will
 access to this data.
 

OK, now, supposing that the unicode license is found to be non-DSFG
free, and hence that UnicodeData.txt is non-free.

Suppose a program implements either unicode collation, regular expressions, 
or any of the other things mentioned above.

(collation is at: http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr10/,
regular expressions are at http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr18/)

Can the program be in debian main?

In other words, does the program require ... non-free packages or

 No you haven't, only the standards body in question can do that.

The above is in the context of people wanting to be able to change 
the unicode.txt file(s).  This file cannot be changed without producing
something that differs from the standard.  Correcting it produces an
artifact that is distinct from the standard.  Is that unclear?

 There are all sorts of reasons why you might wish to create derivative
 works based on the standard -- a new standard for a different purpose, for
 example. 

Derivative works are covered by copyright.  Period.  I would advise that
you not base a defense of infringment of copyright on the fact that you
have only used it to create a derivative work.

 Or helpful documentation of the standard for people who are
 intimidated by the 'dry' nature of the original...

This, on the other hand, would probably be regarded as fair use,
especially as you would need only illustrative snippets to create such
documentation.  In normal circumstances, embedding the entire table 
in your documentation would likely not be regarded as fair use, but 
that is a fact based pattern that would have to be decided on a case 
by case basis.  In this case, it is arguable that the Unicode
Consortium's license specifically permits inclusion of the entire table,
as it does permit unlimited extraction.

 
  On the other hand,  if you wish to create a competitor to the unicode 
  standard, say the debicode standard, I see no moral right that you have 
  to incorporate, without permission, the unicode standard.  You should 
  expect to start from scratch!
 
 Engage brain. Do you think that if I want to create a competitor to, say,
 GNU Emacs, that I should expect to have to start from scratch? Or fetchmail?
 Or any one of the thousands of DFSG-free packages that are in main?
 

Brain engaged.  OK, according to you, anyone can make a competitor to
GNU Emacs and may use the GNU emacs code.  Great.  So, now consider
microsoft visual gnu emacs, which is released under the MS-EULA.  
If that seems to fail to capture your meaning, then well, suppose 
I think that the GPL sucks, and that BSD is the one true license.  
Can I the create FreeOpenBSDGNU emacs with a BSD license (as a
derivative work)?

What's that?  Oh, you mean that anyone may produce a derivative work
that is licensed in a manner compatible with the original work's license,
provided the original license specifically grants that right?  Oh.  Yes, 
I agree with that.  Stated in those terms, it is not much of a surprise.

Now, where in the Unicode license does it give you permission to create
derivative works?  The license does say Information can be extracted
from these files  Oh, and you have to provide an accompanying notice 
indicating the source.

The license does not say that any of the information in files provided
by the Unicode Consortium can be modified (except by extraction).
This makes it fail DSFG guideline 3.

They can demand more than that, a lot more.  All of copyright law comes
to bear (if the standard is deemed copyrightable and has been
copyrighted.)  In particular, the owner of a copyright has, unless
waived, control over the right to distribute derivative works.

 
  The text of every standard that I know of is modifiable.  However, it
  normally takes the consent of the standards body and is issued under
  its aegis.  Again, Jim Penny's unicode standard has no value, and even
  debian unicode has very limited appeal.
 
 You are again talkin of the standard. Not the text of the standard.
 A standard body can issue a new standard. And trademark laws and other
 things can force any new XYZ standard for UVW to be issued by some
 special entity.

Look at the file!  UniCode.txt is the core of the standard, it
happens to be an ASCII text file.  So what, every standard is embodied
in text at some point!

You seem to regard standards as some Platonic ideal, completely divorced
from the text which defines them.  This may be a valid viewpoint in some
cases; e.g. the original algol-60 report.  It is not in other cases,
e.g. the algol-68 report.  UniCode.txt is a text file which has no
redundacy and no explanatory text.  There is simply no portion of this
file that can be modified without making an artifact that differs from
the standard in some substantive way.

 
  On the other hand,  if you wish to create a competitor to the unicode 
  standard, say the debicode standard, I see no moral right that you have 
  to incorporate, without permission, the unicode standard.  You should 
  expect to start from scratch!
 
  Now, IANAL, but I suspect that any unicode editor that reproduced enough
  information from the unicode standard to be useful would be considered a
  derived work.  More importantly, I think that is is arguable that this
  table is, in the terms of the Debian Social Contract,  necessary for 
  the execution of a full unicode editor.  (The language of the debian 
  Social Contract is even more general and vague than copyright law!
 
 It talkes about and to freely use the information supplied in the
 creation of products supporting the UnicodeTM Standard.
 If this does not include making modifications, then jurisdiction is
 more broken then I ever thought. (In my eyes the information should
 even not be copyrightable at all, but this point may be discussed).

The license permits extraction of information for documentation or
programs.  This may be completely different from modification or
correction of information.

 
  In either case, the social contract would place the unicode table into
  non-free; and any editor that depended on the table, or information
  derived from the table (in a copyright sense) in either non-free or
  contrib.
 
 The table itself may be non-free. I doubt any editor will use the file
 itself but use modification suitable for the program.
 
  I have no problem with this result.  But saying that the unicode
  character table cannot be distributed by debian, in spite of specific
  language permitting us to do so, seems a bit extreme.  
 
 If it does not suit for main, then it can not be distributed as part of
 debian. (by definition)

But is can be distributed by debian, not as a part of debian.  That is,
it may be put in non-free, and it may be distributed using the debian
mirrors.  Note:  I did not use the phrase part of, that is yours.

 
  And the
  consequences of this decision will probably seem extreme to many people.
  This example just happens to be particularly cogent; there is no doubt
  it is non-free, there is no doubt it is copyrightable, there is little
  doubt that it is necessary for the execution of a substantial corpus

   Or any one of the thousands of DFSG-free packages that are in main?
  
  Brain engaged.  OK, according to you, anyone can make a competitor to
  GNU Emacs and may use the GNU emacs code.  Great.  So, now consider
  microsoft visual gnu emacs, which is released under the MS-EULA.  
 
 You seem to have hit the wrong button when you tried to engage your brain.
 Why would create a competitor have to mean create a competitor under
 a conflicting license?  The GNU Emacs license allows you to create a
 competitor without starting from scratch.  That is what makes it free!

The question above did not specify that the competitor was to be GPL
licensed.  In the universe of GPL licensed programs, you are indeed free
to create a competitor using code incorported from GNU emacs; in fact,
the universe of DFSG licenses was specified.  In the universe of DFSG 
licensed programs, you are not free to create a competitor 
using incorporated code, in particular, you cannot create a BSD licensed
version of GNU emacs using derived code. 

(And if BSD licenses were allowed, then so would the MS-EULA license,
by washing the GPL through the BSD license.)

 
  What's that?  Oh, you mean that anyone may produce a derivative work
  that is licensed in a manner compatible with the original work's license,
  provided the original license specifically grants that right?  Oh.  Yes, 
  I agree with that.  Stated in those terms, it is not much of a surprise.
 
 I don't think he meant that at all.  You're confusing may with should
 expect to be able to.   The whole provided... clause misses the point.
 Laws do not define morality.

This is straying terribly far from field, but are you saying that it is
morally correct that the debian project modify standards without
permission of the standards body?  Or that it is morally correct to
incorporate (portions of) other programs in your work unconditiontally
and without permission of the original creators?  Are you saying that if
the FSF brings a suit alleging GPL violation, that this suit is immoral?

If your answer to any of these is yes, then your morality is very
different from mine.

 
 Now, why do you think that it would not be a good thing for the text of
 the text of the Unicode license to be free?  Your only answer so far
 seems to be because it currently isn't.

1) that is a good enough answer to make a determination on whether it is
part of non-free, contrib, or main.

2)  It is an embodiment of years of work by many people who did not
agree that it should be free (in DSFG terms).

3)  I can think of no value in a standard that is DFSG free.  The
purpose of a standard is to ensure interoperability.  If there first has
to be a discovery phase to determine how my standard deviates from
your standard, interoperability is reduced if not destroyed.  

This is not to say that standards should not permit extension.  Most do.
However, even this has been controversial in the past (Microsoft
Kereboros, for example).

  This makes it fail DSFG guideline 3.
 
 What about the null extraction, done by using the extraction tool

As far as I can tell, this is permitted.  It would not be permitted
under normal copyright law, but the license does permit arbitrary
extraction.  Extraction of the entirety still appears to be
extraction.  

What the Unicode Consortium does not say is what the distribution rights
are relative to the subsetted tables.   This is a license weakness, but
I suspect that any sane judge would hold that giving permission to do the
extracting implies giving permission to distribute the result.

But, I suspect that any sane judge would also say that extraction for
the purpose of license laundering is not implied.  That is, you could
not take the Unicode Consortium's file, apply cat to it, and relicense
the result under BSD (for example).

Now, what is Unicode Consortium really saying here?  They are saying
that you are allowed to use subsets of Unicode.  For example, you may be
interested in only a few languages.  You may select the relevant
portions of the table out.  Or, if you know that you don't care about
bidirectionality, ligation, extenders, grapheme link, or any of the
other various and sundry attibutes, you may drop them.  In other words,
you can do either row or column projection if that is advantageous to
you.  But they clearly do not want you to modify anything, including
character name!  Character name is a searchable field, which some
applications may need.

 I think you are missing the points here.
 
 First of all, DFSG applied to the standard does not want to change the 
 standard, 
 but wants all to be able to change the text of the standard.

Huh?  If I change the text of the standard, I have changed the standard!
For example, if I have :
0332;COMBINING LOW LINE;Mn;220;NSM;N;NON-SPACING UNDERSCORE
and change this to
0332;NON-COMBINING LOW LINE;Mn;220;NSM;N;SPACING UNDERSCORE
Then the standard has been changed!

That is, this file is line after line of character number assignment,
followed by character name, (and other information).  There is no
possible change that does not change the standard!

Hint: (from standard writer's viewpoint) - A standard that can be
changed by anyone, at anytime, without notice and consultation is not
a standard, especially if it is a contentious standard that has some
people seriously upset (i.e, Russian and XJK users).

 
 This is a good thing, the text of standards should be modifiable. How else 
 shall someone write the following standard without having written the first 
 or having to write all from scratch?

The text of every standard that I know of is modifiable.  However, it
normally takes the consent of the standards body and is issued under
its aegis.  Again, Jim Penny's unicode standard has no value, and even

standard, say the debicode standard, I see no moral right that you have 
to incorporate, without permission, the unicode standard.  You should

 Secondly: What has a unicode editor have to do with the unicode
 standard? It should only implement it. If it would contain parts
 of the standard-text (tables or whatever) that were protected by
 copyright law and the standard would allow no modifications, then noone 
 would be allowed to copy the editor. (No special problem with debian)
 

A unicode editor must know certain properties of the character set
(note, I am not talking about font properties here, unicode does not
deal with fonts.)  Examples might be langauge, combining marks, 
bidirectionality, input methods, surrogates, Hangul syllables.  These
are things that an editor must know, and that pretty much, must be
looked up in the unicode table.

Now, the unicode license happens to be fairly clear, and fairly
permissive.

See:
http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/UnicodeCharacterDatabase.html

It specifically gives permission for redistibution, without fee,
providing a statement of copyright, and a disclaimer are preserved.  It
also specifically allows incorporation into programs under the same
terms.  But those terms happen to be non-DSFG free.  They fail 3 and 8.

Now, IANAL, but I suspect that any unicode editor that reproduced enough

perl and ruby.

 Many (perhaps all) RFCs are non-free as well; does that mean that
 compliant implementations must go into contrib or non-free?

I notice that you did not answer.  

As far as I can tell, given the current definition, the logically 
coherent answer is yes.  There is some wiggle room in this. See below.

 
  What an interesting anecdote!
 
 I do not grasp what place emotionalism has in a simple, coolheaded
 discussion of licensing.  If you are upset with the ramifications of the
 DFSG, you can always propose a General Resolution to amend its terms, or
 repeal it entirely, perhaps in favor of something more pragmatic.

Anecdote.  A particular fact of an interesting nature.

 
 Incidentally, is there a reason you did not respect the Mail-Followup-To
 header?

Yup, the anecdote had nothing to do with legal.  Had a lot to do with
the ramifications of the more radical interpretations of the DFSG and
the consequences of these interpretations.  It was interesting to see
you argue that a license was non-free.  To be consistent with the GR,
you should have been observing that it could not be a part of debian.

If there is a point in this, it is that the status quo ante allows some 
wiggle room.  In particular, section 5 of the social contract grants
this.  If you remove section 5, and reduce debian to only things
that have a DSFG license, the resulting axiomatic system can be used in
interesting ways.  In particular, recursive application of the axioms 
is very intersting.

Can an artifact that claims to be compliant with a non-DSFG free
standard itself be considered to be free?  That is, does it depend
on the standard for its execution?  Compare and contrast this with
an installer of a non-free package.  Note:  the typical installer can,
in fact, install an infinite number of items -- after all, most
installers are not strongly version dependent!

Jim Penny

Note:  there is an intentional ambiguity of the word debian above,
which will drive some fundamentalists crazy.  My definition of debian:
the totality of software, documents, and other artifacts produced by
debian developers and contributed to the debian archives.

On the other hand, if you  want truly obscure, here are some

Norse:  Magni

  As Magni and Modi grew older, they learned many things

  When Modi came of age, he took it upon himself to teach

  Magni continued to learn things from the dwarves; and

  Draupnir was a golden ring (or belt, there seems to be some confusion),
  that had the property that every ninth day 8 gold rings of equal weight
  dropped from it.

Note:  No special special affiliation with forges, just a promise of
  riches.

Gaulish:  Belisama

  The Gaulish/Celtic goddess of light and fire, the forge and of crafts.

Note:  sounds kind of like bellissimo.

Hawaiian: Pele

  The Hawaiian (Polynesian) goddess of the fire in the volcano, the
  mother of eruptions. She is a ravishing, whimsical goddess who resides
  in the volcano Kilauea on Hawaii.

Note:  no special affinity with forges, but mother of eruptions
  (and flame-wars?) seems appropriate.

Aztec:  Veveteotl

  God of fire and creativity.

Darkover:  Sharra

  The most dangerous matrix on all Darkover was the legendary Sharra.
  Embodied in the image of a chained woman, wreathed in flames, it was the
  last remaining weapon of the Ages of Chaos that had almost destroyed
  civilization on the planet of the Bloody Sun.


Then again, forge seems much safer.

 I believe a consensus was reached on debian-python that we would move
 to Python 2.3 as the next default Python, skipping 2.2 entirely.
 
 
 My recommendation would be to separately maintain a python
 2.2-compatible python-gnome and a 2.1 compatible version, at least
 until the 2.3 release.

 The new Python Business Forum (www.python-in-business.com) is
 collaborating with the Python developers to produce Python-in-a-Tie,
 a business-targetted release of Python.  This is a 'Sumo-Release',
 which will include other useful Python libraries and programs which
 are not part of the standard Python releases. What we want is a release we 
 tell our cyustomers to run which will give them 18 months or so
 during which there is no need for them, as users, not developers, to
 upgrade a to a newer version of Python.  Then we will target a next
 release, and to be the next Python-in-a-Tie.  I am the Chairman of
 the Python-in-a-Tie SIG, and the Python-in-a-Tie release is going
 to be based on 2.2, not 2.1 or 2.3.  Thus 2.2 is the release which
 we are telling Python developers is the release which they should
 write for.  Therefore I think that skipping the 2.2 release in
 favour of the 2.3 would be a mistake.
 
 Please cc any discussion and replies to me since I do not read
 debian-devel.  Thanks very much,

But, this does not say that python2.2 will not be available.  It is,
and, as far as I know, will continue to be.  I think that the general
consensus was that debian would maintain whatever versions we had to,
if Python-in-a-Tie were packaged in debian, it would mark python2.2 as a
requirement, and until said package was either rewritten to use
python2.3+, or removed from the archive, it would be impossible to
remove python2.2.  Nor is it much of a pain for a developer:  scripts
being /usr/bin/python2.2, rather than just /usr/bin/python.  Your group
does not even need to be aware of this; this is something the debian
developer should be taking care of.

There has been dicussion of removing python1.5.  But this is because
there are very few packages left that depend on it.  Debian does not
historically remove packages easily or without thought.

Re: Move to python 2.2 as default release?

 Thanks for the post, Laura.  I agree -- Python 2.3 won't be ready for
 a long time, and I recommend to the Debian folks that they
 standardize on Python 2.2.  For now, that will be Python 2.2.1; a
 maintenance release, 2.2.2 will be issued some time later this year.
 

But Zope 2.5, one the more popular applications,  requires 2.1.3.  
Can we be more aggressive in changing default versions than Zope?

 I don't expect 2.3 to reach maturity until mid 2003.

 Debian plans to support at least Python 2.2 and 2.3 in the next
 release (sarge); unlike other distributors, we do not have a problem
 with making multiple Python versions available so long as they are
 useful.  If you need to target a specific release of Python
 (i.e. 2.2), you should use #!/usr/bin/env python2.2.
 
 However, the *default* Python shipped by Debian (i.e. /usr/bin/python)
 affects things within our distribution, and there may be wins for us
 basing on 2.3 rather than 2.2 (the enumerate builtin being an
 obvious, immediate example; universal newline support may also be
 important).
 
 Now, if 2.3 won't be stable until well into next year (as opposed to
 the schedule in PEP 283), then we may want to target 2.2.x as our
 default version.  This is something that largely depends on our
 anticipated release schedule - which is not very calendar driven, but
 Q2 2003 is less likely to make sarge than Q4 2002.
 
 (Note that debian-python is probably the most appropriate list for
 followups.)

One final point.  We will almost definitely not switch the default
python in sid (current unstable), until there is talk that Sarge is
nearing a freeze.  There is simply no point in undergoing the pain of
a major python release twice in a single unstable cycle.  We will 
instead make the decision of what python will be default in Sarge 
when it nears release, not now.

Current stable, woody, is shipping with 2.1 as default.  That cannot be
undone, it is released, and at the time the decision was made, 2.2 was
way too close to the cutting edge for comfort.

Moreover, we would not recommend that the target audience of
Python-in-a-Tie run sid.  Sid breaks things occasionally, sometimes
badly.  Sid tortures small defenseless things for a hobby!

2.2 is available in woody already.  Invoke it using /usr/bin/python2.2.

BTW:  is the PIAT consortium going to offer any DSFG free software?

Postgres and non-us

2001-05-08 Thread Jim Penny
PostgreSQL now has a dependency on openssl/ssl.h in a fundamental
header file, postgresql/libpq-fe.h.

Does this mean that every piece of software which requires this
header file to compile will also have to be migrated to nonus?

Hello,
I hope you can help 
me.
May I ask if your 
company/organization put MS Word files on your CD's?

We are the sole 
distributors of icWord, which isthe Microsoft word viewer for the Mac. 
Our SW allows Mac users to view, copy and print Word documents without 
having to purchase or use Microsoft Word.
icWord viewer is 
also designed for CD distribution purposes.

Do you think you could 
find interest in such a viewer?
If you have any 
questions please feel free to contact me.
Your opinionwill 
be appreciated.
Thank you,

Re: kernel-{image,headers} package bloat

2001-04-23 Thread Jim Penny
I also do NOT like the kernels compiled for a huge number of systems.
I do not think it helps either hotrodders or little old ladies
from pasadena.  Hotrodders can and should build their own, and 
lolfp's cannot tell which kernel they need (they do not know, or
care if they have a 586 or a Pentium Classic, and probably
think they have a Pentium, even if it is from AMD)!

I am not even sure that initrd is all that great.  I have looked
in the man pages, in /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.4.2, 
/usr/share/doc/kernel-image-2.4.2-pentiumiii-smp, on google, and
in other places and have yet to see the answer to my questions.

These are:
1) how do I boot from a non-IDE root disk?
2)  How do I control what goes into initrd in a more reasonable
way than nothing/most/all.  (and what does most do, anyway?).
