Hi!

Frans suggested the template change already so that it won't affect old
weekly items. May I suggest just adding a symlink from News/project/ to
News/weekly/ and use the /project/ URL for the new issues, then? It
won't break back issues, it won't break the feeds because it still lives
in the same place, and there is no rush as in to get external links
updated?
We already have stuff like that around, e.g. the
releases/{stable,testing} things are just symlinks to the current
codenames, and /intl/ is a symlink to /international/
Hmmm... it seems that I'm either to sleepy or to stupid to add proper
symlink generation to the Makefile. Could you please add them?

website templates for DPN / DWN
Hi! As you might know, when I started to resurrect our newsletter, I decided to rename it to Debian Project News instead of the old Debian Weekly News. The idea behind that was, that since the DPN is send out on a bi-weekly basis, the old name seemed to not fit in very well. But when I started to send them out, I added them to the old path of our website. It was a mixture of being lazy and having them in the place, where people where used to read them. So far, so good; the problem I didn't thought about back than is, that the template system used... Well: To make a long story short: On the website as well as in the rdf-feeds they still appear as Weekly News; (and they are propagated to several news services by that name, too, not to mention that the script used to generate the mail version uses the website as base, too). So I'm wondering what to do; if I change the templates, all old issues of the DWN will be renamed, too, won't they? I'm not sure, that would be a nice idea. And the URL would still contain the name weekly. The second idea would be to create a new directory webwml/foo/News/project or something like that, that would be more or less the same as the weekly directory, but with slightly different templates, so the DWN would still be the DWN and the DPN could stay the DPN. Big disadvantage: We would need to change some links on our website, links from the outside would need to be changed (e.g. for those who fetch the news feed), I still had the plan in my mind, that we might rename the DPN back to DWN, if we get enough stories send in to send them out on a weekly basis again. So... beside inventing a time machine and forcing make me think about that problem before I added the first four issues to the wrong directory, has anyone a good idea?

That would be very cool! Ugh, that's really a hard job. As said, I really don't know how to automate that, so I do everything by hand. So far I got to the beginning of Australia... We also need a more sane format for the vendor information in vendors.CD. A format similar to Mirrors.masterlist would be nice, and a script which sorts the vendors according to the locale of the language used on the page. Oh, and eliminate spelling out the full shop URL, only create a link, and make the table more compact in the process, and... and... :-) What would be even cooler: The user has a form, where he can specify wher the shipment goes to (you may add your sorting by locale idea here), and chooses which architecure and which kind of medium he would like to have (and perhaps checkboxes for not together with non-free, only official CDs, no vendor releases or perhaps even only pressed nothing burned). After that he get's a list of vendors sorted by his interest: Near vendors on the top, vendors which fullfill his request only partly at the end. Currently we don't have all the data available for that; some vendors sell for example alpha and ia-64 on CD, but i386 only on DVD. And for some vendors Debian got to big: They sell parts of the officla disc sets. Other interesting point about the webpage: It states at the beginning that we mark resellers, but we don't. And actually I'm to lazy to check that, too. So I might just remove that phrase. Might be a good idea, to add a log file, which vendor got pinged by whome, and what their reaction and consequence was. IMHO it would be useful if there were two different mechanisms: First, a mail should be sent to vendors at regular intervals, with a link they must click on. If they do not click on the link (i.e. do not read mail sent to their official contact address), then remove them from the list after a while. That sounds like a good idea. At least we could send them their data by script, asking them if that is still up to date. Second, the Debian CD page should be automatically downloaded. If the current distribution cannot be found (e.g. the string 3.1 rev2 does not occur), then also remove them from the listing after some time. ...or something like that. Unfortunately, it is a bit difficult to set this up as part of the regular build of the www pages. It's even more difficult: Some have 3.1r0 DVDs and add upgrade CDs later. Checking for specific srings on the website could become very complicate, since there are to many of them. So far I already saw: 3.1r2 3.1rev2 3.1+Upgrades, 31R2, aktuelle Revision von Sarge, sarge von xx.yy..

Bug#240900: debian-www: Mirror Size page needs updating
* Frank Lichtenheld [EMAIL PROTECTED] [040422 00:06]: Are you sure stable takes 8GB? I thought woody came with 7 CDs, 7*650MB = 4.5 GB ? I never said that stable takes 8 GB... stable+testing+unstable takes 8 GB (plus 8 GB for the all packages). Makes the 15 GB you have. (Yeah, I know that I took ceil(size)...) Sorry, small missinderstanding. Yours sincerely, Alexander
Re: Software-Patents
* MJ Ray [EMAIL PROTECTED] [040410 11:54]: If you are involved with FFII, ask them to stop encouraging web sites to close and strike. That makes our users victims of swpat before the battle is lost. Protest is fine, taking sites offline is not. Most sites I visited changed their main site, but left a link to the original page, so they are not offline, but you need one additinal click. IIRC last time FFII called for strike, we had a big header swpat aren't good, and below them our regular site. Why not again? Yours sincerely, Alexander signature.asc Description: Digital signature

In the last 24 hours I heard complains in different irc channels in different networks, in mail in different Debian Lists and List of different Linux User Groups and I got Mails from people I once met on a conference or trade show. Even a small Sever is down, we are working on it, will be up soon would do it. Perhaps you could even mention, that some Debian mirrors, mirror security, too. Yours sincerely, Alexander

Re: Keine Verbindung zu ftp2.de.debian.org
Guten Morgen Christian, * Christian Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] [031104 23:54]: ich versuche verzweifelt seit 24 Stunden per apt-get auf ftp2.de.debian.org zuzugreifen. Leider keine Verbindung und somit kann ich auch die Pakete, die ich installieren möchte nicht einrichten. Gibts evtl noch eine andere Lösung per apt-get auf einen mirror zuzugreifen? Editiere /etc/apt/sources.list und ersetze ftp2.de.debian.org durch irgendeinen anderen Mirror, z.B. ftp.de.debian.org. Oder rufe apt-setup auf, und wähle einen anderen Mirror. Du hast dich übrigens an die falsche Mailingsliste gewandt: debian-www dient zur Koordinierung der Web-Seiten-Ersteller. Wende dich das nächste mal bitte an die debian-user-german@lists.debian.org Mailing-Liste. Yours sincerely, Alexander And for our english speaking friends: He had trouble contacting ftp2.de.debian.org and asked for a sollution to contact a mirror. I told him to edit his sources.list or use apt-setup. pgpd5wV8a0DHq.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Linux-Setup-Party

Vielleicht kann mir jemand nur EIN orginal Package von Debian zuschicken, dass wir wenigstens vom king of linux ein farbiges Package mit CDs/DVDs haben. Das wäre echt super!!! If you just want to have a box there, I could travel down to you and bring one. Since it is my private one, I would take it with me, when I leave ;) While looking at the pictures on your side, I realy think, that you should have a Debian box there... whistlinginconspicuously Oh, and if you are interested in a Debian specific talk, or someone manning a small booth or something, just contact me or write a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] /whistling inconspicuously Yours sincerely Alexander
Re: Debian auf dem LinuxTag
Lieber Christian, * Christian [EMAIL PROTECTED] [030706 21:13]: ich habe gehört, dass ihr auf dem LinuxTag in Karlsruhe einen eigenen Stand habt. Kann man dort auch die Debian CD#s kaufen? Du hast dich in der Mailingliste vertan, denn über diese Liste koordinieren sich die Leute, die die Webseiten erstellen und übersetzen. Eine bessere Anlaufstelle wäre die debian-events-eu Liste gewesen. Im übrigen werden wir selbst keine CDs verkaufen, weil wir unsere CDs nie selbst verkaufen. Du kannst bei unsrem Stand aber eine Debian Ein Disk Version, auf der das wichtigste enthalten ist, bekommen. Einige Reseller werden aber auch auf dem LinuxTag vertreten sein (z.B. LinuxLand und Lehmanns), bei denen du auch den kompletten CD-Satz kaufen kannst. mit freundlichen Grüssen Alexander Und weil das eine Englische-Liste ist, hier nochmal auf English: I heard you will have a booth at LinuxTag in Karlsruhe/Germany. May I buy Debian CDs there? You mailed to the wrong List, since this one is used for coordination of the people who create and translate our websites. The debian-events-eu list would have been better. And we won't sell CDs ourself, since we don't sell CDs ourself. You can get a Debian one disk version, containing all important packages, for free. Some Reseller (LinuxLand, Lehmass, ...) will be at LinuxTag, too. You can buy a complete disc set from them.
Re: debian.org localization
Good Morning, * [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [030516 09:52]: and i don't speak bulgarian that well and would prefer the pages i load from your site to stick to english. is this possible and how do i do this??? Yes it is possible, since you get bulgarian pages because your browser requests them. Tell your browser, that you prefer english pages, and you should get them. For detailed instructions view http://www.debian.org/intro/cn.en.html. sincerly, Alexander
