Cruft Remover (system-cleaner): testing help?

[Lars Wirzenius]

Hi.

I've made a version of Cruft Remover (binary packages system-cleaner and
system-cleaner-gtk) that fixes the worst problems, I hope.

  * Added Polish translation from Piotr Makowski. (Closes: LP# 290196)
  * The apt Packages list is now checked for sanity. (Closes: LP# 290024)
  * Icon is now shown in menu, and by the window manager. 
(Closes: LP: #274714)
  * The current kernel will now never be considered cruft. 
(Closes: LP# 285657)
  * Now asks user to confirm that they want to remove packages or remove
other cruft. (Closes: LP# 285888)
  * Package short description is now shown in the user interface.
(Closes: LP# 286394)
  * The GTK UI now shows column headers, so that it is clear what the
tick column means. (No bug reported about this explicitly, but it
has come up repeatedly.)
  * Support for whitelists in /etc/cruft-remover.d/*.whitelist added.
See the cruft-remover(8) manual page for details. This can later be
seeded with the most common third-party packages, until dpkg+apt
get sufficient meta data to deal with this in a better way.
(Does not quite close LP: #285746)

Because of an unfortunate mishap with version numbers earlier, I can't
upload this version to my PPA, but I have uploaded it to my personal
site:

http://code.liw.fi/ubuntu/pool/main/s/system-cleaner/

I'm asking for help with testing to verify that these bugs are, indeed,
fixed, and that there aren't any new problems introduced. Any help with
this would be appreciated.

Desipite the large and intrusive changes, I'm hoping that they'll be
accepted as an SRU, given the sorry state of the packages currently in
intrepid. But before I ask for an SRU, I would like to get some feedback
from other people that the fixes fix the problems for them, and not just
for me.

Default PIN for bluez-gnome wizard

[Daniel Roesler]

Howdy all,

I have a partial patch for Bug #284994, which points out a problem
with PIN codes in the bluez-gnome wizard. Right now, the code randomly
selects a PIN code for the user to enter on the device. However, on
many devices you cannot input a custom PIN code, so the device fails
to connect. Most simple devices this affects have the default code
, so I changed a line of in the bluez-gnome to try that as a
default.

/bluez-gnome-1.8/wizard/main.c near the bottom
---FROM---
target_pincode = g_strdup_printf(%d, g_random_int_range(1000, ));
-TO-
target_pincode = g_strdup_printf();
-

This patch will only work for devices who's default code is .
Ideally, the user should be able to set their own code instead of a
random one. I'm not a programmer and don't have any experience with
gtk, so I don't know how to implement the ideal feature. Anyway, just
wanted to see if a partial patch could be added to the updates.

Avast!
