Bug#300231: O: libghttp -- original GNOME HTTP client library - run-time kit
Lucas Nussbaum schreef: libghttp has been orphaned since 2005. It would be great to get rid of it, but some packages are still using it: * digitaldj (dep on libghttp): could probably be removed. we already have a lot of MP3 players in the archive. Well, it still has some users (according to popcon some 90 have it installed) and there doesn't seem a lot wrong with it. Any comments? You want to get rid of libghttp because of it being a qa-maitaince burden? grts Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#389817: No upload soon
For those reading along at home: pm-utils upstream is not in a state yet that would it make it suitable to deploy in debian. We're working on that, but until HAL starts depending on it there is IMHO not really a hurry. Anyway I won't be making an upload soon, probably not before etch is out. grts Tim signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#375217: When you will upload it?
Hi, I added some maintainer scripts to uswsusp. If you have a suitable swap partition it will detect it (will take the biggest in case of multiple) and write a configuration file for you. If you have set debconf priority to high (the default) you'll see no questions. Except if you do not have a swap partition, then it will warn about it with a debconf note. With lower priority or dpkg-reconfigure you can tweak the file they way you like. Of course it keeps any hand made changes. About the name: upstream accepted my patches for the s2disk/s2both system, they'll be in the next release. I made uswsusp recommend: initramfs-tools, because then installation of uswsusp will end with a working setup. It can work without though if you make your own initramfs. So I was leaning a bit to a suggest... You can find the packages at: http://www.famdijkstra.org/~tdykstra/debian/uswsusp Can you guys give in another spin? Maybe also try dpkg-reconfigure etc? Otavio: if you think they're OK, can you upload them? grts Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Michael Biebl [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Maybe it's better to leave the name as it is and only provide a convience symlink (s2disk-suspend) or convince upstream to choose a better name. This looks the best thing to do. I think that upstream need to be aware of possible confusion from user POV. I'll contact upstream, if have some more changes anyway. I do think that even if they don't agree I'll stick with s2disk. Suspend is a really lousy name and it's better to avoid it for several reasons: 1) bash has a build in command that's called like that. 2) The rest of the world thinks suspend == s2ram not s2disk. In fact most people call it hibernate, unfortunately there's already a package that provides that name. 3) I changed the binary to behave differently if it is called as s2both. That way we do not have to keep two different configuration files (one for suspend to both and two suspend to disk) and all the hassle (and danger) that comes with keeping them in sync. About confusion: I added some words in README.Debian to explain. I also wrote manpages (there is no suspend --help), they mention s2disk. grts Tim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's a bit unorthodox: it only provides a -dev package, and is really small. If that's a problem I can just add it to the source of uswsusp.

It enables you to save the state of the whole system to disk and power off your system. After restarting your system it will be put back in the exact system state you left it (this is sometimes called hibernation). . It also includes an option to suspend-to-ram after the state is saved to disk. In the suspend-to-ram state the system still uses power, but is faster in resuming. In case the battery depletes the state is still on disk and resume from disk can continue without data loss. .

Cheers, Michael I have written the scripts myself already; that was the reason I made the packages, actually. But they look really similar to yours;) An last but not least, please call the package uswsusp and *not* muswsusp. Hint: Google for uswsusp and for muswsusp.

Bug#162569: Adopting ldapexplorer and phpmyadmin
Hi Piotr, I'm using debian on several systems for some time now and I really like it. So I've been waiting for an opportunity to do something back to the project. The best packages to start on seemed ones I use my self and also since I've a lot more experience in php-programming than in C/C++ coding it seems that the packages you're putting up for adoption are perfect for me. Since I'm not a debian package maintainer (yet), things are a little bit more complicated. I'm reading right now what to do to start the my application, so if you're are willing to help through the process (being my advocate and sponsor), that would be great. grts Tim
