Package: slsh Version: 2.1.3-3 Severity: normal
slsh 2.1.3-3 breaks jed -- some S-Lang scripts/functions are not available. Diagnosis: after an update to slsh (2.1.3-3) some jed-extra (e.g. ffap.sl) scripts failed to work. I could track this down to "/usr/share/slsh/" missing in the jed library path. The reason is given indirectly in slsh's changelog.Debian.gz * set SLSH_LOCALLIB_DIR="", as we don't ship a local-packages dir in Debian (breaks FSSTND). while the code in site.sl adds /usr/share/slsh/ to the library path only if /usr/share/slsh/local-packages" exists. This can be fixed by making site.sl more foolproof (at the expense of one more file stat during program start). The problem was discussed in pkg-jed-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org. However, consensus is still needed on * was /usr/share/slsh/local-packages removed because of the assumption that it is intended for local (sysadmin) addtions? Could adding The directory /usr/share/slsh/local-packages exists so that 3rd party packages can be installed here. Read /usr/share/jed/lib/site.sl for a usage example. to README.Debian solve the problem? * does the FHS prohibit /usr/share/slsh/local-packages because of its name? Would /usr/share/slsh/site-packages be ok? * does the FHS prohibit /usr/share/slsh/local-packages because of its location? Would /usr/lib/slsh/local-packages be ok? Would /usr/lib/slsh/site-packages be ok? * where should additional S-Lang scripts for slsh and|or Jed be placed that are - installed by the "system" (e.g. a Debian package) - installed by the administrator - installed by the user Guenter Milde -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE, LC_CTYPE=de_DE (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages slsh depends on: ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libpcre3 7.4-1 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-3 PNG library - runtime ii libslang2 2.1.3-3 The S-Lang programming library - r slsh recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
