various computers for adoption
I have a number of computers for adoption by people who will use them to support Debian, and preferrably people who will keep them online for others to use. Original DEC Alpha Multia. I want money for this one. Round out your architecture collection. No RAM or disk. Insists on true parity RAM. DecStation 5000. MIPS R4000, but different byte-sex from other MIPS systems. No Linux kernel, and may never have one because the documentation's not available. DecStation 3000. MIPS R3000. See above. Two SparcStation 1 systems. One works, the other may work. One has RAM and a disk. 68k Mac II. Amiga 3000. Runs. Thanks Bruce -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Debian GNU/Linux Logo chosen

Yes, definitely, right away. It turns out that it is absurdly easy to file for a trademark, I did the "debian" one in about half an hour. See www.uspto.gov . When that $200 check I wrote the government comes through, I'll bill it back to the project. I suggest that someone in the U.S. do the trademark application for the Debian logo as SPI is a U.S. corporation.

regarding the recent problems with http://www.debian.org
As many of you know, there have been some problems with http://www.debian.org Bruce has given permission for www.debian.org to be moved to va.debian.org and I have already moved the main part of the pages. There are a few minor corrections to be made and mirroring of the bug lists and list archives need to be set up (hopefully they will both be moved onto this site). This will give us a number of improvements. All mirrors will be able to mirror directly from this site which will minimize the number of points of failure. Also, the US will have a secondary site at the existing www.debian.org (aka debian.crosslink.net) under www.us.debian.org . Due to time constraints, my husband, Jay Treacy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, will be doing a lot of the work on the web pages so don't be surprised if mail to me gets answered by either one of us. I am looking forward to this new setup. We have answered at least 40 complaints to webmaster about the problems with http://www.debian.org in the last few days.

need help in identifying changed files in pacakges, + general pacakging questions
I'm trying to develop a system of identifying all the files belonging to packages that have changed on a system. This is very important if you want to save a current configuration. For example I go in and tweak various files here and there (init scripts) or change config files (sendmail, etc...). I'd like to identify all these and put them in some sort of archive, so that I can reproduce the state of the machine if I have to do a fresh reinstall, or transfer the config to another machine. At first I thought I could look at the creating time, mod time, but if a person edits a file, all times will be set to the same. By taking a quick look around the /var/lib/dpkg/info I noticed several types of files that look promising. First are the md5sum files but::: # /bin/ls -1 | cut -d"." -f1 | sort |uniq |wc 212 2121684 # /bin/ls -1| grep md5 | cut -d"." -f1 | sort |uniq |wc 72 72 548 not all packages have md5sums. Maybe md5sums should be generated during the package installation process if one is not available. There are also two files in the 131 dist "comerr2.checksumse2fsprogs.checksums". What is with the different file extension. Another type of file that looked interesting is the .conffiles but I realized that for X apps the app-default is usually not included in the conffiles, which I think they should be, but maybe I misunderstand the role of conffiles. That would be isolate the configuration related files from the applications related files. For example the XTerm xdefaults from the xterm executable, or the man page, which should not be changed. The files that are not suppose to be changed should be watched with tripwire, if it's not done already. Any comments? One possible way of keeping track of modified packages would be to touch all the files a package with the installation date, and keep track of the installation date, then you'd just have to look at the dates for the files to identify whether or not the file was modified since installation or not, if somebody didn't want the change to be noticed (intentionally) they could touch the file manually. Another option would be to set up something along the same line as tripwire to track changes, but md5sum on /usr would be quite CPU intensive, and would prevent the SA from circumventing the system easily, which is handy. Is there any type of audit trail in place for package addition, upgrade, deletion? This is a pretty broad topic, but might as well throw it in for good measure. BTW, I happen to feel pretty strongly about these issues, and having been an SA for some years, and having to deal with production type environments, I can say that these issues are also very important to a great many other people as well.

I think the recent comparison to "fortune" was valid. It asks whether or not to install the "offensive" portion at install time.

Here's a quote from the debian policy manual (from 4.6): Application defaults files have to be installed in the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/. They are considered as part of the program code. Thus, they should not be modified and should not be tagged as conffile. If the local system administrator wants to customise X applications globally, the file /etc/X11/Xresources should be used. Unfortunately, none of this sort of policy is particularly obvious to the systems administrator. I'd kind of like to see a package which depositted a .readme (or .policy?) in every significant directory covered by the file system standard and/or debian policy, describing policy for that directory, and especially some kind of note on configuration. I'd also like to see embedded comments in each significant file -- a url if nothing else -- for policy details pertinent to that file, and on alternate locations where two or more files provide a "base + configuration" sort of system. -- Raul -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

question
Hi. I wasn't shore were to send this mail so I sended it here. I'm wondering if I can run Linux on my machine. I have a PentiumII 266 with an AGP graphic-card (Asus 3Dexplorer). I couldn't find any of them on your site. Neither any driver for Sound Blaster 64. Please send me an answer. I'm really tired of Windows95 and want to change to Linux. And one more question. I saw two screen shoots of some Linux. It was real nice, but I wonder if I can change the way it look exactly the way I want it to look?

Re: linux/unix to NT
In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Mariusz Pagowski) writes: > I learned about samba package allowing me to access disks > on NT machine from unix/linux. Actually the other way round; samba lets you turn your unix box into a windows network compatible fileserver. There is a client (which would do what you describe) for linux, called smbfs. > But does samba allow me to login/telnet to NT machine from linux/unix and > run remotely a program on it? No it doesn't. > If not is there some software which would allow me to do it? One of the service packs for NT includes a telnet daemon; install that and you can telnet in to do simple things. It's of somewhat limited use, though, since most NT programs try to do graphics and NT doesn't support X.
Config file management utility
Has much discussion been had about a possible configuration file management script for the package config scripts to use? For example, I installed cron on a Debian box, and then installed mgetty. Mgetty placed the following at the end of my /etc/crontab: #-- mgetty begin 20,40 * * * * root faxrunq #-- mgetty end Then, when I updated cron, it asked if I wanted to replace my /etc/crontab. I'm assuming that this would have hosed my mgetty settings, so I was forced to make the changes to /etc/crontab by hand. So, I was thinking... why not have a utility that the scripts would use to make all modifications to config files kinda like what mgetty did with the "#-- mgetty begin" and "#-- mgetty end"? The only difference is that *all* packages (even the package that "owns" a particular config file) would be encouraged to use the utility. In the example, cron would use the utility to make updates to /etc/crontab, as /etc/crontab would ostensibly have "#-- cron begin" and "#-- cron end" statements as well. Of course, the utility would have to have command switches to alter what comment character to use... whether the file could be deleted if it was empty (after removing a section, say) Has this already been discussed and thrown out? - Joe -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Easier configuration idea....
One of the faculty I have to support here is using Caldera's OpenLinux. Although Debian is still my favorite, I am pleased with some of the easy configuration features of OpenLinux. For those of you who are unaware, OpenLinux has a directory under /etc called, I believe, sysconfig. In there are bunches of scripts that are employed by the rc scripts in rc?.d and init.d. For example, I believe the NFS one is located at /etc/sysconfig/network/nfs and its contents might look something like: run_on_boot=y run_as=root Probably a few others. I forget. The nice thing here is how easy it is to turn something on or off. With Debian, to turn something off I usually go into /etc/init.d and rename netstd_nfs to netstd_nfs.off. Kinda ugly. What I find exciting is the potential to have a dselect-like utility to manage the system configuration. If those little configration files contained some verbage about what the package does, like: descrip=Network File System. Allows you to share directories, etc. then you have the makings of a quick little utility that would let you turn options on and off in a menued utility. Again... has this already been discussed and thrown out? I'd be willing to write the config utility if I could get some sort of buy-in that it would actually be embraced by the package maintainers if the utility didn't suck. - Joe -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I'd forgotten that I'll have to have seperate changelogs for each package anyway, so the original post is a bit void. I was basically have a quick swipe at the policy for being very rigid: (policy 5.6) Every package must be accompanied by a verbatim copy of its copyright and distribution license in the file /usr/doc//copyright. This file must neither be compressed nor be a symbolic link. however I missed the third paragraph which says: /usr/doc/ may be a symbolic link to a directory in /usr/doc only if two packages both come from the same source and the first package has a "Depends" relationship on the second. These rules are important because copyrights must be extractable by mechanical means. which is *almost* what I wanted - it only allows symlinking the /usr/doc/ directory, not any file inside it.

Mailinglists documented
Good evening folks, Much of the the conversation between Debian developers and users is managed through several mailing lists. Debian GNU/Linux is developed through distributed development all around the world. Therefore email is a preferred way to discuss various items. All the mailing lists that are served on lists.debian.org are now documented in one file and this should reflect their actual state. You'll find this file on your favourite Debian mirror in /debian/doc/mailing-lists.txt. This file is a complete rewrite. Thanks to Bruce Perens for contributing the first version of this file. I took over maintenance of this recently. I will try to keep it up to date and to describe new lists.

Or at least display a warning about "possibly offensive > content". That way everyone should be reasonably happy. I'd like to point out that the version of purity under question did have such a warning. >From the control file from purity_1-2.deb... NOTE: This package contains some material which may be inappropriate for minors, and/or may offend some people. A similar warning was also contained in the README.debian file as well as a strong recommendation that people considering installing purity on a multi-user system to which children might have access check that they were not in violation of local laws. This to me constitutes a fair and reasonable warning that the package contains offensive material. If, at this stage, you still downloaded purity and installed it, I would suggest that an appropriate response to "oh my god this is naughty" is, "well, you _were_ warned." Now, not being on debian-private (yet) I'm not able to guage the opinions of the other developers on this one it appears a fair bt of discussion took place there too. But the feeling that I got from Bruce was either drop the offensive stuff or have the package dropped. I don't agree with this, I don't think its fair, in fact, I believe the idea of supporting net censorship will result (eventually) in the net being Reduced to the point where _everything_ must be vetted and deemed suitable (by some so called higher authority) to be suitable for the public at large. On the other hand, Bruce *is* the project leader, so. *shrug*. I guess he gets the final say. *grin*. Anyway, the latest purity package contains pointers to the rest of the tests, and I think, at least for now, thats about the best we're going to get. To the developers who are upset by this, I hope someone who has been wth the project just a tad longer than me takes it upon themselves to put it to a policy vote. I'd like to see a clear policy on just what is and isn't acceptable for debian rather than "I think we can safely draw the line at..." I think, personally, I'll be sticking in the future to packaging things a little less contraversial. Just my 2k worth.

Technical Support Database suggestion...
I think that it would be useful if we were to design a technical support database (something along the lines of GNATS but more user friendly) that created an online searchable database of issues that had been raised by users and the resolutions that had come out of it. This would not only be more usable than the mailing list method but would go further towards eliminating the repeated handling of identical problems. Hopefully people would search the database and if they couldn't find anything relevant then they could add an entry to the database. It would also be interesting to build a language translation system that used similar methods. Package maintainers could submit application texts and messages to a database and Debianites could cooperatively translate them to other languages.
