But does anyone know what "NO NEW PROCESSING CURRENTLY AVAILABLE" actually means in practice? Do it mean that no packages will be moved out of NEW or that no packages that need to go through NEW should be uploaded? What about for a package uploaded over a week ago while these changes were under way? I just want to make sure that the upload hasn't been completely lost. If a package isn't in NEW, Incoming, or the archive where would one look to make sure it still exists?

"One time" post-invoke hook
Hi, I am trying to address bug #544573 [1] against rkhunter which I maintain. rkhunter postinst script is used to call rkhunter --propupd which updates/creates its file properties database. rkhunter recommends some packages, eg. unhide, which are configured after rkhunter, and hence after rkhunter postinst script is run. Is there any way to add a temporary post-invoke hook so that the database is updated/created after all packages are configured? I have thought that adding a configuration file in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d in postinst would work, but as apt is already running, it won't consider that file until the next time it is run. Another mean would be to force packages like unhide to be configured before rkhunter (a kind of 'pre-recommends' dependency). Any hint for this?

Thanks for the tip. I didn't use zzuf, but I did do fuzz testing, as early
as 0.02. I dedicated a whole section to this in the README ("Decompression
robustness"). Also, search for "lbzip2" under [0].
helgrind (and the other valgrind tools) might be useful to find bugs:
http://valgrind.org/info/tools.html#helgrind
I've used several valgrind tools for testing (no bugs were reported).
A side note: as written in [1], "7.5. Hints and Tips for Effective Use of
Helgrind":
3. Avoid POSIX condition variables.
Condition variables are at the core of lbzip2. I published an article on
this topic in the form of a reddit self-post, see [2].

Debian JED Group needs a co-maintainer/sponsor
Dear mentors, since 08.03.2005, the Debian packages related to the JED editor are collaborative maintained in a project at Alioth (http://pkg-jed.alioth.debian.org/, http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-jed). However, after the retirement of the group leader, there is no DD left in the group. Is this the right place to look for a new co-maintainer or sponsor? What would be the correct description of an alioth project in need of someone with upload rights?

Re: RFS: pidgin-skype
Hello mentors, thanks to all for your suggestions. In the version I just duploaded: - tarball contains svn version - debian/copyright is in DEP-5 format - source package format is "3.0 (quilt)" (the only lintian error) - PNGs didn't change. I'm trying to contact the icons creator asking him to release also SVGs in question. It seems to be possible as he already did for others [1]. "Public domain" would be better than CC-BY-NC-SA, am I wrong? Errors/suggestions?

RFS: usb-modeswitch (updated package)
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.0.5-1 of my package "usb-
modeswitch" - mode switching tool for controlling "flip flop" USB devices.
The upload would fix these bugs: 527122, 535445. By the way, the package has
seen big updates both upstream and Debian side. It fixes the functionality
overlay between udev's modemswitch and usb-modeswitch by the way of an
"opt-in".
The Debian.NEWS for this update is attached.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/u/usb-modeswitch/usb-
modeswitch_1.0.5-1.dsc
The only lintian error is due to the switch to 3.0 (quilt) and is a bug pending
upload in lintian (#552707).
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Best regards,
OdyX

usb-modeswitch (1.0.5-1) unstable; urgency=low
UPSTREAM: Version 1.0.5 introduces two major changes.
* The devices configuration is split:
- /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf is dropped in favor of files in
/etc/usb_modeswitch.d/
- This means that the customisation or new devices that were defined in
/etc/usb_modeswitch.conf will be _LOST_.
+ Normally, there no need anymore to play with comments and such to only
get the correct devices switched.
* The detection of devices is greatly improved:
- /etc/udev/rules.d/usb_modeswitch.rules (Debian-specific) is dropped in
favor of /etc/udev/rules.d/80-usb_modeswitch.rules (from upstream).
These rules call /usr/share/usb_modeswitch/usb_modeswitch.{sh,tcl} to
handle the automagical detection and switching of the devices.
- This means that any device selection done by comment-tweak in the
Debian-specific .rules file will be lost.
+ But it is normally replaced by a superior and more universal device
detection.
Finally, if you had modified /etc/usb_modeswitch.conf to insert home-brewn
tweaks, you will need to migrate these tweaks to /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/*
files. But if you had only selected alternative devices in
/etc/udev/usb_modeswitch.rules, you should normally have nothing to do, as
these alternatives should now be detected (read below).
DEBIAN: Version 1.0.5-1 now makes the rules "opt-in"
* udev (from version 146-1) now ships a modem-modeswitch program that does
what usb-modeswitch used to do. To ensure that the transition to this udev
facility is smooth for everyone, the usb-modeswitch program is kept, but
with an opt-in /etc/udev/rules.d/80-usb_modeswitch.rules.
* Thus if modem-modeswitch from udev (>= 146-1) works for your device, you
can uninstall usb-modeswitch.
* A contrario, if modem-modeswitch doesn't switch your device, please file a
bug against udev and edit /etc/udev/rules.d/80-usb_modeswitch.rules to
enable it.

Since it seems you have put so much work and time into that package, I guess you deserve at least an honest reply ;-) I'm not familiar with the lesstif2 concepts and internals, which doesn't seem to be trivial at all, so I wouldn't be able to properly review and upload, but I think that, in general, before putting considerable amount of work into whatever neglected or understaffed package, it is a good idea to sound the interest and intentions of your prospective sponsors. That might eventually avoid wasting sponsoree's own time. Otherwise, taking care of such packages is very welcome, indeed, so I hope you find a proper sponsor! -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
