Hi: This is to state my intention of packaging the kernel drivers for the Gravis Ultrasound family of sound cards, made by Jaroslav Kysela and the Linux Ultrasound Project (see http://home.pf.jcu.cz/~perex/ultra/). If nobody objects, I'll be uploading a first version of the packages in a coupl

non-hub 10baseT connections

This is a little off-topic but given my intent I hope no one minds... I have a spare SUN Sparc-5 that I'd like to configure as a linux box (why? because I can :)). Anyway, my *entire* network is token-ring and I don't have a spare token-ring card (let alone a linux driver) so my question is:

Hiho, today I upgraded the machine that hosts my debian mirror to libc6. Everyhthing went fine, only some partially resolved dependencies took some time but didn't meant a problem. Thanks to StormCrow for his FAQ. But rpc.nfsd keeps on dying because of some memory problems. I'm using the most r

Python upgrade: dependency question

I'm currently trying to prepare python for an non-maintainer upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5, and I'm running into several issues that I don't know how to resolve correctly. Since some people classified python as an important package, I'm reposting this mail to the bigger audience of debian-devel,

What happened to perl's strict.pm?

I've been testing the upgrade path from bo to hamm on a spare system (in preparation to upgrading my main system). As I don't have a permanent connection (dialup only), I'm only downloading what I need. It's amazing what interconnected dependencies there are! :-) Anyway, basically it all went OK e
