Re: Today's woody update -- obsolete/local packages

The Packages file was much smaller than the previous version. What's up? It's the transition to the new 'testing' distribution - see the recent archives of debian-devel-announce. woody is now testing, and sid is unstable. If you intend to track unstable, you should probably start referring to it as 'unstable' rather than as 'woody'. Hi Colin, so package updates can't be expected in woody for the next 14 days ? What about the Xfree packages and the KDE packages since they change in a very frequent interval ? And, do you know any of these ? Greetings Michael
How to install libqt-dev, kdebase-dev with apt on unstable ?

Re: Banner server avoidence
Hi, Blocking out banner ads, while understandable, is not really moving toward a solution. Aha. excuse me why not ? Why do you think debian is a success ? Because people like to do it this way. Without being influenced by anything commercial. Do you remember the days of the internet where sites were driven by enthusiastic people not craving for money by selling ad space ? We are all sick of primetime television-style advertising. What is needed is a way for buyers to make the first move and opt in to a stream of highly focused and targeted information that, for the seller, will result in the sales of products and services. Properly executed, sellers will like this because of the very high percentage of sales they make -- these will be the quintessential qualified prospects. Buyers will like it because they won't be bombarded with sales pitches for products of no interest to them. I typically, or better to say, in all cases ever ignore ads. They simply steal my time which is very valuable. If that means that sites have to close because they can't make any money out of me. May it be. I myself have a page dedicated to linux. A couple of visits once in a while, but depsite free spech ads of freepatents I do not burden my readers with ads. I simply do the site. It is not much, not sophisticated, no fancy flash anims nada. Pure information, and I certainly don't want to earn something from it. Banning ads is the way to go. With all consequences. If I like ads, I want them, I want being informed then I opt in. No selective reading required to oversee ads. If I would like to buy a product via the internet, then I search for it. I do not want to be disturbed by companies who like to sell me services. And I certainly don't want this U.S. thing where they call you at home and ask for the person paying for the telephone, trying to convince to change for long distance. It is annoying, they steal my time. Same with spam, they do it on my time (I have to download it and delete it). Banner ads are the same, as soon as sites are to crammed up, I stop visiting them. I think that a lot people think the same. Greetings Michael Meding
Sound only as root ?
Hi all, on my recent woody I only get sound when running as root (either running completely as root or su ing into root from a normal user under x will give me sound output). So I guess this is a standard feature of debian. How to change that ? TIA Michael Meding

during make-kpkg I get i386-none not in remapping table
Hi all, I use potato with dpkg and debhelper from woody. When I try to compile 2.4.0-test11-pre7 after configuring it and doing a make-kpkg I get an error saying that i386-none is not in remapping table and not found in arch. So I have to specify --arch=i386. Doing this I get after a while of compiling a make 1 error saying that i386-linux-gcc could not be found. Doing an ln -s gcc i386-linux-gcc in /usr/bin I get i386-linux-ld command not found again with error make 1. So what is the proper way to do this, respectively, what am I doing wrong. Thanks in advance for your help. With best regards Michael Meding

dpkg-buildpackage and desired target and changed config files in the build directory
Hello everybody, I am trying to find out where to change the environment variables to get the package build for a specific target (i.e. instead of i386 i686). Also I would like to know how to change something in a configuration file in the build directory and then get the build done with the changed configuration file (because dpkg-buildpackage wipes out my build tree everytime it runs). Thanks in advance for any help. With best regards Michael Meding
