Debian has no official announcement on what will do with the prize. They should. Most likely, part or the whole prize will get donated somewhere. (where?) Oh well, I guess just asking them wouldn't be such a bad idea. I'll send email to them and tell the answer to this list, if no-one doesn't do it first. 4. WHAT ARE THE CLIENT COMMANDS ? -- To get a keyspace, use something command like this: % nohup rc5-client-linux-i586 -i [EMAIL PROTECTED] The -i option is needed to register the run to debian.org The new version of the client uses different options, I think. -- Juri Pakaste/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: IMPORTANT: RSA Data Security Challenge participants please read
Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Yeah. If the folks at gzero.net will add the numbers from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] then why would we want to change?! I think that is all the more reason *not* to change because we can help the greater cause while at the same time getting airplay for Debian? Because it'll still look like we're competiting with linuxnet (well, not we - I've been running as linuxnet and I'm going to continue doing so). It wouldn't be a bad idea if the Linux community tried to look just a bit unified in things like this. -- Juri Pakaste/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Gleb Arshinov [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: IMO, it would be good publicity to promise 1/3 of potential prize to Linux International, 1/3 to FSF, 1/3 to keep for debian, and keep running with [EMAIL PROTECTED] identity. But how much is that 1/3? I know RSA is offering $1, but there's New Media Laboratories. Do they take a part?

Re: Colors in an Xterm

Bugs archive
Looking at 5% of 179K (stalled) isn't an uplifting experience, when you're looking for the reported bugs of some specific package. Would it be possible to either split up the Debian bug report logs - index by package page (by first letter of the package) or provide a system for searching the archive? -- Juri Pakaste/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

GNU Emacs and I-search
I have a problem with I-searching in GNU Emacs, in X. When I try to remove characters I have typed (with either backspace or delete), the keypress ends up in the buffer from which I'm searching, and this is obviously not the way it's intended to work. I don't have this problem with XEmacs, or even with GNU Emacs when running in an xterm. Is this yet another problem with keymaps, or is there something else that could be causing this? -- Juri Pakaste/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

libtiff and Imagemagick
I just installed Imagemagick and libtiff3. Now display (and other executables in the imagemagick package) complain: cyteen-14:12 ~$display display: can't load library 'libtiff.so.1' No wonder they can't load it, as it wasn't provided by the libtiff3 package. But running ldd on display gives output like this: cyteen-14:13 ~$ldd /usr/bin/X11/display libMagick.so.3.7 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libMagick.so.3.7.7 libpng.so.1 = /usr/lib/libpng.so.1.0.89c libz.so.1 = /usr/lib/libz.so.1.0.4 libtiff.so.3 = /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3.4.035 libjpeg.so.6a = /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.6a.0.0 libXext.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.1 libX11.so.6 = /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1 libm.so.5 = /lib/libm.so.5.0.7 libc.so.5 = /lib/libc.so.5.4.17 So where does the need for libtiff.so.1 come from? And where can I find it, or what else can I do to make those programs work? BTW, I had to use --force-depends when installing Imagemagick. It depends on zlib1 = 1.03-1, the current version is 1.0.4-something. I guess the dependency should be fixed, or perhaps zlib's numbering? -- Juri Pakaste/[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
