Bug#701951: libecj-java-gcj: Not installable with /var on 9p(non-hdd) filesystem

2013-03-15 Thread Eric Lavarde - Debian
Hi,

Daniel Dickinson said:
 This appears to be due to a permissions problem of some kind due to use a
 9p filesystem rather than native ext4 or the like.  Probably fails on nfs
 too, but I haven't tried that.  Or maybe use of extended attributes (not
 sure 9p supports them or not)?
I don't know what the policy is in such a case (best effort? Implement if
patch provided?) but according to [1] 9p is not even part of the standard
Debian kernel (and I suspect that there might be a reason for this).

Cheers, Eric

Bug#597528: freemind: Won't start

2010-10-07 Thread Eric Lavarde - Debian
Hello,

can you please call freemind with:
DEBUG=1 freemind
and send the debug output?

Honestly, I suspect rather a Java problem than a FreeMind one. Could you
also install another Java/Swing program (e.g. jedit) and try to run it?

Thanks, Eric

Bug#574029: jh_manifest utf8 errors

2010-04-19 Thread Eric Lavarde - Debian
Hi Matthew,

Matthew Johnson said:
 I really could do with seeing the manifest from either of your packages -
 I
 suspect that there is non-utf8 data in there. Without seeing it though I
 can't
 reproduce or suggest a fix. (I'm afraid I can't read winmail.dat)

 Matt
As I wrote in my email, there is no manifest to share! jh_manifest only
gets called because I'm using CDBS, I have no debian/manifest or
debian/package.manifest file.

Nevertheless, one thing I forgot to mentioned and which I'm not sure
about, but it seemed to me that the error appearance did depend on the
svn-buildpackage command line: with --svn-dont-purge I got the error, but
not without this option, and then I changed something to the content of
the debian/ directory, and I always got the error.
I know it sounds stupid, and I have no explanation, but that's what I
experienced.

Eric

Bug#569169: freemind: open link with konqueror 4.3.2

2010-02-11 Thread Eric Lavarde - Debian
Hi Sebastian,

what does xdg-open yourURL, called from the command line, say?
(it is the command that FreeMind calls per default).

If xdg-open itself doesn't fail, you could also write a small script:
$ cat /tmp/my-xdg-open EOF
#!/bin/sh
exec \$0.out 21
exec xdg-open \$@
EOF
$ chmod +x /tmp/my-xdg-open
and enter this script as Default Browser Command Other OS in FreeMind,
then attach the file /tmp/my-xdg-open.out to this bug report, this would
surely help a lot.

Thanks, Eric

 changing Default Browser Command Other OS to konqueror {0}=no contact

 changing to kfmclient openURL '{0}' (which should be the right way I

Bug#557308: libopenide-util-java: Non-informative package descriptionand outdated homepage link

2009-11-24 Thread Eric Lavarde - Debian
Hello Giovanni,

Giovanni Mascellani said:
 This description is wrong, as this library is not netbeans platform.
 I'll try to write a more informative description, but this task is not
 easy, because this packages is really _very_ miscellaneous.
OK, I was mislead by the homepage link, but thanks.

 2. the Homepage link http://openide.netbeans.org/ is outdated, it's now
 http://platform.netbeans.org/

 For what I know, there is no updated homepage for this library.
 platform.n.o is wrong and I couldn't find anything updated, so I prefer
 to keep an out-of-date homepage rather than giving a false information
 or no information at all.
I would tend to disagree, no homepage would be better, and a link to where
the source code remains would be even better (I'm assuming there is such a
place else it wouldn't be opensource :-) ).

Thanks, Eric

Bug#526611: New upstream version

2009-09-29 Thread Eric Lavarde - Debian
Hello,

PLEASE, create a new package for this version of Jibx: 1.2.x is not
backward compatible with 1.0.x (and neither with 1.1.x), and FreeMind
0.9.0 depends on version 1.0.x (and doesn't work already with 1.1.x).

I'm trying since years to get a newer version of FreeMind and failed due
to mainly licensing reasons, and I'm now only one upstream release from
success. Please don't make it fail now for technical reasons!

Thanks, Eric

 Please upgrade the package to version 1.2.1, which is a build

 I have done a prelimiary package if libjibx-java 1.2.1. Unfortunatly
 it needs Eclipse libraries for building the jibx-tools.jar. I think
 about disabling this feature for now.

 I got notified that OpenJDK 7 will drop the dependency on jibx in
 one of the next releases.

 Good to know. I checked reverse depends in the archive and found none.
 So I thought it would be okay.

 Lets do it this way: I update libjibx-java to 1.2.x. I also introduce
 libjibx1.0-java for freemind. This way freemind can depend on it and
 when/if freemind updates to a newer version we can savely remove
 the versioned package.

 L.S,

 Hi guys! I'm having some trouble with a client of mine who insists on
 that Tomcat 5.0.28 is stable and 5.0.30 isn't. The problem is that I
 can't install 5.0.28 from Apt as we only have 5.0.30-11 available.

I think, I know why the customer means this: the download page from Tomcat
[1] lists only 5.0.30-beta and 5.0.28.

This said, I don't know how to convince your customer that the Debian
version is stable enough for his purposes.

Just tell him that OpenSource betas are more stable than many commercial
releases ;-)
More seriously, you could try to argue that beta doesn't mean unstable, it
just means that the product has not been completely tested; and the fact
that it reached etch/stable means that it has been tested and that it's
stable enough for Debian standards, which are knowingly high.

Hope this helps, Eric

Bug#385257: No matching plugin was found

2006-08-30 Thread Eric Lavarde - Debian
severity 385257 wishlist
retitle 385257 make-jpkg could detect EE Java and display helpful error text
thanks

Hi Giuseppe,

you've downloaded the EE (Enterprise/Server version), make-jpkg does only
work with Java SE (Desktop), so you need to download the Java SE JDK.

Alternatively, you can now use the sun-java5-* packages in
unstable/non-free; or of course use one of the free alternatives, kaffe,
gcj/gci ... (if it works for your application).

Nevertheless, make-jpkg could perhaps recognize the error and output a
more helpful message (perhaps by creating a minimal plugin, that would
just spit an error?!).

Cheers, Eric

Re: Problem with SVN and DOS end-of-line

2006-02-26 Thread Eric Lavarde - Debian
OK, forget about this:
'svn propdel svn:eol-style 02_default_properties.patch' did the trick...

Eric

 Hello,

 the file '02_default_properties.patch' in
 'svn+ssh://[EMAIL 
 PROTECTED]/svn/pkg-java/trunk/libjgoodies-forms-java/debian/patches'
 had DOS end-of-lines because it patches a file with such endings
 (upstream!). After the move from CVS to SVN, this end-of-lines were
 replaced through unix ones (and as a result applying the patch fails).
 This wouldn't be so bad if I could fix this, but svn refuses to commit a
 corrected file, with proper Windows end-of-lines. Error message is
 'Inconsistent line ending style'.

 Any idea on how to fix the mess? I couldn't find any valuable hint on
 Google, as said using UNIX-style end-of-lines is not an option.

 Thanks, Eric

Removing files from CVS on Alioth

2005-11-04 Thread Eric Lavarde - Debian
Hi,

it appears that for the next version of libforms-java, hopefully to be
uploaded, certain files in the debian directory are not required anymore
(one patch and a TODO file).
As CVS doesn't offer the possibility to remove a file, how should this be
handled?
