Re: Bits from the DPL

2008-10-04 Thread Keith Edmunds
Hi Steve

 the more installation and upgrade testing we can do now, the
 better.

I'm really sorry to trouble you directly as I'm sure you have better
things to do than reply to mails such as this; however, I'd like to help
test the Etch - Lenny upgrade, but I can't find the Lenny release notes
(particularly the upgrade part) anywhere. I've tried Google, I've tried
the debian.org site.

Could you tell me where they are and, possibly, make it a little easier
for others to find them (maybe put a link on the Lenny .iso download page)?

Thanks,
Keith

Dear Keith,

Lenny is not yet the stable release of Debian. Everything you are
looking for will be available when Lenny will replace Etch.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

It'll be too late for upgrade testing then…  People doing that need
preliminary release notes now.

Cheers,
Julien

If you have regularly upgraded you are already running 4.0r4 so just 
download the respective CDs for 4.0r4. If your Debian computer is not 
connected to the internet you should get the upgrade CD first and 
upgrade your installation to r4.

Andrei

[nitpick: alsa rather represents a driver, esd (for Gnome) and arts for 
KDE) are sound servers]

Please post the exact error message you get (if any) when you run 
mpg123. It might help to turn off any KDE/Gnome specific sound handling 
as they sometimes block the device and may prevent each other from 
playing any sounds.

debian-projects is not the contact address to report bugs, please do not
encourage people doing so by asking for feedback to their reports.


thanks,

Release notes

2008-10-04 Thread Charles Plessy
Sorry Keith and all others for the noise, I'll try to not read my mails
when I am tired next time.

The release notes have a pseudo-packages. You can browse some of its
issues on our bug tracking system, or contact directly its maintainer
for your very good question. Lastly, it seems that its sources are
availables on cvs.debian.org, so you can monitor the changes there as
well (if it is the correct repository).

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=release-notes
http://lists.debian.org/debian-doc/
http://cvs.debian.org/ddp/manuals.sgml/release-notes/?root=debian-doc

Have a nice day, and thank you very much for your help,

non-free is mentioned during the installer for users to add (I think)



It's not mentioned normally at least. Is it mentioned in expert installs?
