Hello and Questions
Greetings All. I hope this is the right venue for my questions. I've been a package maintainer for a while, on a little out-of-the-way package (jbofihe). The upstream on it is dead, but I recently did a new package for it that fixes a bug and the lintian warnings that had cropped up in the last few years. I've also got another package that I made a while back that isn't in Debian but I think should be (basically a better version of what jbofihe is, and the upstream's still around.) I've decided to get back into Debian development, but there are a few questions I've got: 1- My maintainer address on that package is [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, this is no longer my primary e-mail address, and just forwards to my GMail address. GMail isn't particularly good with GnuPG, though. (Yes, I know about FireGPG, but I don't use Firefox as my primary browser.) Should I just try to use mutt with GMail? (Which I don't prefer.) Or could I make a new address that doesn't forward, for my Debian work? (Such as [EMAIL PROTECTED]). If I did the latter, would I just change the address in the package? 2- The GPG key I used to use is on an old machine that died. I think I might still be able to recover the files, but I didn't have any signatures on it anyway. Would it be better to just make a new one? (On that note, anyone near San Bernardino, California want to swap key-signatures?) -- Theodore Reed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Theodore Reed [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I hope this is the right venue for my questions. Your questions seem not so much related to Debian packaging, but good enough. 1- My maintainer address on that package is [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, this is no longer my primary e-mail address, and just forwards to my GMail address. GMail isn't particularly good with GnuPG, though. (Yes, I know about FireGPG, but I don't use Firefox as my primary browser.) Should I just try to use mutt with GMail? (Which I don't prefer.) IIUC, you can use any IMAP client to access your Google Mail mailboxes URL:http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695. So you should choose a good MUA that has IMAP and OpenPGP support. 2- The GPG key I used to use is on an old machine that died. I think I might still be able to recover the files, but I didn't have any signatures on it anyway. You did, of course, keep the revocation certificate that you created at the same time as the key pair, against just such an eventuality? URL:http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/manual/c14.html#REVOCATION Would it be better to just make a new one? If you no longer have exclusive control over your private key, then yes, you should publish the revocation certificate for that key and generate a new key pair for use. Having made a new key pair you'll need to go through the whole process of establishing signatures etc. again, since the one you revoke will, by design, have no connection to the new key. Glad to see you're getting back into Debian, and welcome back! -- \ “I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in | `\ my body.

Re: evolution-remove-attachments package review
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Paul Thanks for feedback. Let me reply your questions inline. Paul Wise wrote: Hi Rex, Just now I was looking for a way to remove attachments in evolution. While searching I found your plugin on mentors.debian.net. Since I'd like to use it (and therefore upload it to Debian), here is a review: Firstly it didn't actually work as expected. I attached your .dsc file to this message in my drafts folder, clicked the menu item, the message was deleted and a new message created, with the attachment still attached, but changed into a text file saying that the attachment has been removed. I expected that the attachment would actually be removed instead of made smaller and changed to text. Well, the behavior is designed for purpose. I have many business emails with large attachments, and I like to keep the emails for record without the attachments. So, the plugin would not actually delete it but replace a messages recorded that was a attachment. What I can do is to put one more menu item as purge attachments A wishlist item: I'd like to be able to delete specific attachments, some messages can have more than one attachment but I don't want to delete all of them. The whishlist item could be done, I suppose. I will look into it. I think it would be great if your plugin could be merged into upstream evolution for evolution 2.26 so everyone has it. I'll be happy to upload it to Debian in the meantime though. Yes, it would be great. I submited a bug report[1] on gnome.org. I also talked to Sankar P psankar at novell dot com on #evolution irc channel, and psankar told me if the code need to get into svn, I need to reassign the copyright to Novel. Which stop me to have the code in upstream's svn repository. (even though I found not reason to keep the copyright) The packaging seems specific to evolution 2.22 (version numbers in paths, conflicts against other versions), I think it would be good to future-proof it since evolution 2.24 has been released and hopefully will be in experimental soon (#). If that isn't possible, your build-dependencies will need to be tightened to require evo 2.22. I will test it when 2.24 is available in experimental. You don't specify which version of the GPL that the Debian packaging is licensed under. You should use the full This program is free software; you can redistribute it blurb in the upstream source code, not just in debian/copyright.
