Menu registers in GNOME but not in KDE/XFCe, Why?
Hi, I have the problem that menu entries I've created are properly registered in Gnome, but neither in KDE nor in XFCe. And I have no clue what I'm missing. The 'debian/menu' file looks like this: ?package(nameofapp):needs="x11" section="Apps/Net" \ icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/nameofapp.xpm" title="Nameofapp" ?package(nameofapp):needs="x11" section="Apps/Net/Nameofapp" \ icon="/usr/share/pixmaps/nameofapp.xpm" title="Nameofapp Client" \ command="sensible-browser http://127.0.0.1:9161/"; ?package(nameofapp):needs="x11" section="Apps/Net/Nameofapp" \ title="About Nameofapp..." \ command="sensible-browser http://127.0.0.1:9161/about.html"; ?package(nameofapp):needs="x11" section="Apps/Net/Nameofapp" \ title="Preferences" \ command="sensible-browser http://127.0.0.1:9161/prefs.html"; I'm using cdbs, don't get any error message, and update-menus is called. Even stranger, /etc/xdg/menus/debian-menu.menu and /etc/xdg/xfce4/desktop/menudefs.hook do contain references to the entries. And the following files are present: /var/lib/menu-xdg/desktop-directories/menu-xdg/debian-apps-net-nameofapp.directory /var/lib/menu-xdg/applications/menu-xdg/X-Debian-Apps-Net-Nameofapp-about_nameofappdesktop /var/lib/menu-xdg/applications/menu-xdg/X-Debian-Apps-Net-Nameofapp-nameofapp_client.desktop /var/lib/menu-xdg/applications/menu-xdg/X-Debian-Apps-Net-Nameofapp-preferences.desktop /var/lib/gnome/Debian/Apps/Net/Nameofapp.desktop /var/lib/gnome/Debian/Apps/Net/Nameofapp /var/lib/gnome/Debian/Apps/Net/Nameofapp/About Nameofappdesktop Any idea?

Executing tests during package building?
Dear Mentors, I am packaging a software which includes tests to check if the binary is fully funcionnal. However, those tests are much more processor intensive than the compilation itself. Is there a general policy about what to do with them? Is it enough to run them when testing the package before upload, or should them be ran systematically by debian/rules, thus using cpu power of the buildds? In this case, the tests take eight minutes on a 1.8 GHz G5.

I have a similar package but these tests have proved invaluable in identifying problems when the package is ported. True, those problems become FTBFS serious RC bugs but there are few other ways of getting reliable and useful information on architectural differences. > Is it enough to run them when testing the package before > upload, or should them be ran systematically by debian/rules, thus using > cpu power of the buildds? But also catching cases where an assumption in the upstream code is only valid on certain architectures. It's unlikely that any package is built upstream on as many architectures as Debian so you'll always gain information by allowing the buildds to test the code. > In this case, the tests take eight minutes on a 1.8 GHz G5. Sometimes, the tests are iterative and a patch could be used to reduce the number of loops. The question is : How easy is it going to be to fix an architecture specific bug *without* the data from the failed test? A lot of tests are implemented specifically because a bug was found and the test continues checking that the bug remains fixed. -- Neil Williams = http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

RFS: wmmisc (updated package)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.1-2 of my package "wmmisc". It builds these binary packages: wmmisc - Dock app that monitors your system The package is lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 356588 The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wmmisc - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/w/wmmisc/wmmisc_1.1-2.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Kind regards Sandro Tosi PS: I'm going to adopt some other of this little, nice docapps; so, if someone is interested in sponsor them, he could check all them in a bunch. I'll notify d-mentors when my "docapps adoption program" will end :) -- Sandro Tosi (aka Morpheus, matrixhasu) My (little) site: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: RFS: nta
Hi Luca, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "nta". I'm not a DD, so I can't help you upload it in Debian, but I've looked at you package and I'd like to suggest this: * debian/control Homepage entry has to be preceeded by two spaces, thus " Homepage: http://nta.kyberdigi.cz/"; will have to be " Homepage: http://nta.kyberdigi.cz/"; * debian/changelog - I'd remove the double empty line between list changelog entry and the sign, living only one empty line - separate sentences with a dot, thus: the best time for downloading large packages of data etc. etc. . Or with this software you can just better imagine, how many traffic can * I'd suggest to include a debian/watch file, in order to easily check for new upstream release from your QA page. Take a look at man uscan(1) for further reference For sure, some more experienced guy could suggest some other (harder) stuff, but that's a beginning :) Cheers, Sandro -- Sandro Tosi (aka Morpheus, matrixhasu) My (little) site: http://matrixhasu.altervista.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If you really compile all your files with -fPIC and you still got text relocations, you should check for assembly code. -fPIC tells gcc to produce position independent code, however with asm code you write yourself gcc can't help you. It's pretty easy to write non-pic asm code if you don't know exactly what you're doing. If you got your TEXTREL's because of asm code that's probably fixable, but requires some asm knowledge. Btw, text relocations are suboptimal on i386 too, they just don't cause segfaults, as it's possible on other archs. [1] Cheers, Christian Aichinger [1]: Normally when your library is loaded by 20 programs the code is present only once in physical memory, the kernel just maps it to different addresses in every program. With text relocations your code is modified during dynamic linking (i.e. when the lib is loaded). This means that the resulting code looks different every time it's loaded and the kernel can't share the pages. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I noticed the draft Debian Java policy[1] is to have tests executed but _not_ cause the build to fail if the tests fail. You might consider this, or perhaps have enough faith in the tests (or such an eye for quality) that you might want all tests to pass for a build to succeed.

I only know I got the problem once and that was because of a gcc bug, which is not yet fixed (though #331460 is marked fixed, it actually isn't entirely fixed, there are still issues with c++ code using visibility). Now, it seems the involved code doesn't set visibility. The best for Michael to do is to grep PLT in the generated assembler code and check what can be generating those.
