This package contains scripts, documentation and programs that make it easier to provide multiple chroots on one system. A typical installation might provide 'stable', 'testing' and 'unstable' chroots. Users can move between chroots as necessary. I have a preliminary package at : deb-src http://people.debian.org/~dwhedon/debian/ ./ deb http://people.debian.org/~dwhedon/debian/ ./ Comments appreciated. It is similar to the dchroot that is installed on various Debian machines but it supports a configuration file and has a few options. It started out life as dchroot.c in BenC's homedir on vore. In the future I'd like to add some scripts that make creating various chroots painless (call to debootstrap perhaps excluding certain packages, mount -o bind, symlinks for /etc/resolve.conf and friends, etc.) I keep a variety of chroots on my machines at home and I'd like to make it simple for others to do the same. -David -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux oink 2.5.49 #10 Mon Nov 25 01:09:49 PST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C

Bug#124308: Berkeley db4 packages in Debian
Hi, FWIW I'd like to see them uploaded as well (mostly since I want to get Subversion uploaded). I don't know of anything keeping the packages from being uploaded, though last time I talked to willy he indicated he was waiting for woody to be released before he was going to worry about it. If not, chances are that I might be able to maintain the package, and thus give back my work on them to Debian (we (Schlund) need checked Packages anyway). That sounds good. Willy, does that sound like a good idea to you? Even better, if you (Matthew) would stick to your maintainership, and we could use your source in unstable for our packages. Or that, I'm not taking sides :-) I just want something uploaded. I'd even be up for putting things into experimental, though I don't see any reason to keep them out of unstable. -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

FWIW, the db3.3-3.3.11 packages at people.debian.org/~dwhedon/debian/ were put together so that they can co-exist with the current db3 packages in much the same way that the db2 packages can co-exist with the db3 pacakges. With that in mind it isn't a question of touching db3, rather the question is do we add db3.3 packages to the archive. I understand if you don't want to do that. Subversion will make its way into Debian shortly after these dependancies. With this mail I am poking the respective maintainers to see where we stand. No subversion for woody. I'll get db 3.3 sorted out once woody is out of the way. I see where you are coming from. I would, however, like to make subversion available soon if possible.

Bug#97234: Debian Packaging of Subversion
Hi all, As you can see subversion has some dependancies that aren't yet in Debian. Things we are waiting on include : 1. Berkeley db 3.3 - a bug has been filed (http::/bugs.debian.org/109853) I have been building with the preliminary packages on people.debian.org/~dwhedon/debian/. 2. apache2. Daniel Stone and Thom May are working on that, we've been working together to make subversion and apache2 play well together on Debian. I don't know when apache2 will be uploaded to unstable. Last I heard Daniel didn't want me to give out the deb line until he finds a better place to mirror it, (still true Daniel?) Subversion will make its way into Debian shortly after these dependancies. With this mail I am poking the respective maintainers to see where we stand. Thanks for the interest!

Bug#97234: ITP: Subversion -- An alternative to CVS
I've got time at the moment so I'd be happy to work on this. If you change it to RFP I'll come along and change it back to ITP, I think that is the easiest way of doing it, or maybe just an e-mail to the BTS saying that I'm ITP'ing it. Any progress on this? I just read Subversion has reached the self-hosting stage and some bugs move bugs have been ironed out. According to the progress page, an alpha should be available within a month... has anyone of you produced something that can be called a working package? I have produced something very close to a working package. Unfortunately the server doesn't yet work. I'm using apache2 from: deb http://kabuki.sfarc.net/apache2 ./ deb http://pandora.debian.org/~thom/apache2 ./ The updated Berkeley db packages (Bug #109853) I am using are at : http://people.debian.org/~dwhedon/debian/ as well as the most recent subversion packages.

Bug#116578: RFA: searchandrescue -- game, fly helpicopter around and save people
Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi, This package isn't a whole lot of work but I'm not very interested in it anymore. I do want the package to stay in Debian, maybe there is someone who would have more time for it? I really like the idea of the game, flying around and saving people in distress. However I don't actually play any games so I'm not the best person to be maintaining this package. At present there is a new release critical bug that I haven't been able to reproduce. They look like they aren't searchandrescue's fault but rather a problem with the openGL libraries. -David

Bug#113118: ITP: srm -- a secure replacement for rm(1)
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist removes files, but overwrites the data first, making recovery more difficult. The most obvious name for the binary is 'srm', probably should be in /usr/bin/ rather than /bin. That conflicts with the pacakge zlibc's /usr/bin/srm. Anyone have ideas for a replacement name? http://srm.sourceforge.net/ The web page indicates that it is already in Debian unstable, I can't find it. from the package: srm is a secure replacement for rm(1). Unlike the standard rm, it overwrites the data in the target files before unlinkg them. This prevents command-line recovery of the data by examining the raw block device. It may also help frustrate physical examination of the disk, although it's unlikely that completely protects against this type of recovery. Srm uses algorithms found in _Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory_ by Peter Gutmann and THC Secure Delete (the overwrite, truncate, rename, unlink sequence). X11 license.
