Reviving The MOTU-Torrent Team?
Hi all I have posted about this on the Planet but in case anyone didn't see it I'll post it here too. I am attempting to revive the MOTU-Torrent team, which at the moment looks very quiet (The only activity in #ubuntu-motu-torrent I have seen in a long time is asac changing his nickname!). I have emailed around the old members of the team, but haven't received any replies. Would anyone else be interested in reviving the MOTU-Torrent team? If you are please reply to this, or send me an email off list so we can attempt to organise something. Thanks alot, -- David Futcher (bobbo) http://www.bobbo.me.uk http://www.launchpad.net/~bobbo -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
Didiwiki + Dillo + Ubuntu
Didiwiki + Dillo + Ubuntu: Didiwiki does not run well under Dillo: once a file is created or edited, Dillo forgets to mention the file name with Dillo; then, every time Dillo edits the default page WikiHome instead of the given page; example: with Dillo: http://localhost:3000/?edit with Firefox: http://localhost:3000/Essai?edit Configuration Linux laptop 2.6.24-18-generic #1 SMP Wed May 28 20:27:26 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux Ubuntu hardy Dillo 0.8.6-i18n-misc didiwiki 0.5-5 (hardy) I regret it because both are small, simple and easy to use. PS: also, the copy-paste and print functions miss under Dillo: do you think these will be add in the close future ?

GEOS 2.2.3-4 Ubuntu. PostGIS 1.3 is cited as needing GEOS 3.0.
Hello, (Note: please CC replies to me as I am unsure how to join the list at the moment). I have GeoServer 1.6.4 setup on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1. It can connect to a PostgreSQL / PostGIS 1.3 database, with GEOS 2.2.3, but fails to be able to access spatially enabled columns. According to the PostGIS documentation webpage ( http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/ ) PostGIS requires GEOS 3.0. As mentioned in the GeoServer FAQ, GeoServer may hang if PostGIS does not have GEOS installed (see http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/GeoServer+hangs+when+requesting+from+a+PostGIS+data+store ). This is the behaviour I get, which would make sense as I only have the below recommended 2.2.3 version. I am reluctant to jump into compiling such a complex system unless I really have to. Are there plans to release the GEOS 3.0 library for Ubuntu ? If I know it's coming along then I can plan around this and do other things in the meantime.

Re: bash vs dash
Thanks for the those who offered helps. I found the following link that is very helpful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_computer_shells Note that there is only ash, not dash in the list. Since dash comes from ash, I assume the features for them are the same. I really like the lightweightness of dash on PS3. However, I missed these features in bash (in order of importance): 1) command line editing 2) tab completion 3) command history 4) customized prompt If we can get these features add to dash with minimal impact on its compactness, I will be a happy dash user, and I believe more users will be less dash-resistance. As for 1), this is from the manual page: -V vi' Enable the built-in vi(1) command line editor (disables -E if it has been set). I am not sure it means for command line editing. Anyway, I could not get it work. As for 4), dash actually has some limited support in the form of env variable PS1. I've written a small program (bashps - bash style prompt string) to make it possible to use bash style prompt (such as '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ ') in dash without any change to dash itself. Just run the following command: export PS1 = $(bashps '[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ ') If any one has any smart idea to add 2), 3) to dash without change to dash or with minimal change (in term code size), I will be happy to hear.

Thanks for your enthusiasm, David. I look forward to getting down to work on this! P.S. Apologies for the lack of response to your original e-mail; I read it but tried to restrain myself from replying because replying to one Ubuntu e-mail tends to suck me right back into the project, which would not be great for my well-being at the moment!

libsyck0-dev
Hi, I'm developing some code with libsyck but I'm using C++, one issue with the
way that the package is built is that one cannot throw a c++ exception in the
syck error handlers and recover in the c++ code.
Basically what happens is that if you throw an exception in the error handler
(which is called by C code) you cannot catch it in a c++ try{} block, and so
your application will terminate.
If libsyck is built with -fexceptions then this problem is solved [and it only
adds 5k to the size of the binary].
I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to build the package with this option?

Re: sync request sponsorship
That sounds pretty fair to me. It was just an idea, but now thinking it better and reading this arguments i'm convinced it's not a good one :D Thank you for your time and responses.

No. There is little difference between a manual upload and a sync, other than the mechanism by which the changes come to the repository, and as such the same criteria for determining whether someone can upload to the archive ought be applied. As there is no technical review involved in an application to UUC, there is no certain knowledge that any given applicant has the necessary technical skills to be trusted with a sync request (or indeed, any sort of upload). Rather than change the permission structure of uploads, I'd rather encourage those that have the requisite technical skills to apply for MOTU: that results in review by both current MOTU and MOTU Council review, and is likely to help identify those who ought be able to commit to the archive directly. -- Emmet HIKORY -- aka nxvl Peruvian LoCo Team Key fingerprint = BCE4 27A0 D03E 55DE DA2D BE06 891D 8DEE 6545 97FE gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 654597FE signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
