Hi all,

I got an above reports and I thought it was reasonable at first, 
but, in TeX world, "normalsize" is a correct terminology and 
I guessed the above sentence is an intentional one of the 
upstream author (I cited the above from the original document
i.e. readme.flt).

Can I close this bug without problem?

Best regards,2001.12.28

--append_to_version places modules in the place you expect,

Bug#126716: ITP: quake2 -- popular 3D first person shooter game (engine only)

2001-12-28 Thread Jamie Wilkinson
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2001-12-28
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: quake2
  Version : 3.21
  Upstream Author : iD Software (unmaintained)
* URL : ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/source/q2source-3.21.zip
* License : GPL Version 2
  Description : popular 3D first person shooter game (engine only)

This will only be the game engine, no data files.  The package will require
installation of the non-free commercial game data or a free replacement.

There is no specific free data files packaged for Debian, quake2 will go
into contrib as per policy; once free data has been packaged, quake2 can go
into main.

Sure enough, it was a bug in libzvt2 and is fixed as of the latest

All worked fine and I ended up with this:

package DBIx::Password;
use strict;
use DBI();

@DBIx::Password::ISA = qw ( DBI::db );
($DBIx::Password::VERSION) = ' $Revision: 1.7 $ ' =~ /\$Revision:\s+([^\s]+)/;

my %driver_cache;
my %virtual1 = {};

my $config = "/etc/dbix-password.conf";
open (IN,$config) || die "I need a config file: $!";

my @fields = qw(user username password port database attributes connect driver
host);

while () {
next if /^(#.*)?$/; #skip comments and blanks
my @user = m/:?'([^']*)':?/g;
foreach (0 .. 8) { #write fields
$virtual1->{$user[0]}->{$fields[$_]} = $user[$_];
};
}
close IN;

sub connect {

[...]


The only problem I face is a local/global one:

When running the script using this module, I get this error:

mrmime_SLASH:/# install-slashsite
Global symbol "$virtual1" requires explicit package name at 
/usr/lib/perl5/DBIx/Password.pm line 47.

What does it mean ??

That's pushing it, I think.  I've had several experiences as a maintainer
where something in an upstream package changed that seemed insignificant to
me, but which broke some other package that depended on mine.  These events
aren't a big deal if everyone is "engaged" and bugs are getting addressed as
they are reported.

Let's stick to the main problem.

Matt,

The most recent release for EVMS is on our website: 
http://www.sf.net/projects/evms/
The current release is 0.2.4. Our beta release (0.9.0) should be coming out 
mid-January. Right now, the releases are available as source tarballs and 
RPMs, and we'd love to have a debian package as well in the future. If you 
are interested in creating a debian package for EVMS, feel free to let me 
know if you have any questions about how EVMS works or how to get it 
installed and running.

You've created the lexical variable %virtual1. Once you've done that,
$virtual1{foo} is OK - that accesses elements of the hash.
$virtual1->{foo} is something different, though. That takes $virtual1,
treats it as a reference to a hash, and tries to access elements within
that hash. You haven't declared $virtual1 as a lexical, so, since you
have strict vars in force, perl correctly complains that you're using an
undeclared package variable.

The important things to understand are:

  * $virtual1 is *not* the same as %virtual1. In particular, it occupies
a different slot in the symbol table, and declaring one as a lexical
doesn't affect the other. Don't get confused by the syntax for
accessing elements of hashes [1].

  * {} returns a reference to a hash, not the hash itself.

  * Always, always, always use -w (or 'use warnings' in Perl >= 5.6). If
you'd done this, you'd get the warning "Reference found where
even-sized list expected", which points to the real problem.

In summary: your bug is that you need to change 'my %virtual1 = {};' to
'my $virtual1 = {};'.

[1] Incidentally, this is slated to change in Perl 6 to something closer
to what a lot of people seem to expect. See
http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/05/03/wall.html>.

Bug#126775: omniorb-doc examples don't compile

2001-12-28 Thread W. Borgert
Package: omniorb-doc
Version: 3.0.4-2.4
Tags: patch

I have adopted the examples to autoconf/automake.  This
works very well.  Maybe one can push this to the upstream
developers?

What I did: All files dir.mk, dir.mak, GNUmakefile,
*.module, *.pkg, and the obsolete directories lifecycle and
partcl are removed.  They are replaced by a configure.ac, a
dozen Makefile.am files and a bootstrap script to run
aclocal, automake and autoconf.

Two minor problems remain:

1. I put -DUsePthread directly into the Makefile.am files.
   Better would be to check for the pthread libs.

2. As suggested by the omniORB documentation, I have
   created a file /usr/include/omniORB3/sitedef.h, which
   contains only one line:

#define __x86__ /* or: __sparc__, __powerpc__, ... */

   This file is included by /usr/include/omniORB3/\
   CORBA_sysdep.h mainly to set _OMNIORB_HOST_BYTE_ORDER_
   to 0 for big endian machines and to 1 for little endian
   machines.  I don't like this.  It makes cross compiling
   impossible.  Also, autoconf already has a macro
   AC_C_BIGENDIAN, which defines WORDS_BIGENDIAN or not
   depending on the byte sex.

Btw: I believe that the bugs #49037 (omniorb-doc file
placement, 2 years and 58 days old) and #114718 (empty dirs
in omniorb-doc, 82 days old) are gone.

from potato to woody without a free internet connection

2001-12-28 Thread Tom Jongsma



Hello,
 
I'm running debian potato right now. I want to 
upgrade it to Debian Woody, but I don't have a free internet 
connection.
Can I update my potato by burning a cd on school. 
And Install it on my machine at home? 
I can't find cd-images (iso's) of debian 
woody.
Aren't there cd-images of debian 
woody?

This is a question for debian-user, not debian-devel. In case you just
didn't notice that there *was* a debian-user, the answer to your
question is "Woody isn't released yet. When Woody is a released Debian,
ISO images will be available." Oh, and yeah, you should be able to
upgrade via CD. :)

Another way to do it is described in /usr/share/doc/apt/offline.text.gz.
You'd still need to do "apt-get update" from home, but that's only a
couple of megs.

I'm not sure how official these are but there are some at:

http://www.planetmirror.com/pub/debian-cd/woody/i386/  [i386 only]

or for better bet go to

http://cdimage.debian.org/

then at the bottom there is a link to testing site. You can DL 9 CDs from the 
unofficial distro (woody)... from varoius sites.

  it depends on libraries used, if the libraries are not available for
linux than it might be quite hard.

  Another option is to have not entirely native application and use wine
(kinda ugly but it might help the transition).

I am in the same situation as you are. There are *unoffical* CD images for
woody. Click on the unoffical link in cdimage.debian.org. The number binary
CDs for woody has exploded, you can create your own CD-image using the
debian-cd package. It's actually pretty easy to use.

This is bogus, anything can die in an OOM situation.  Are you going to
put all daemons into inittab?

You should be trying to avoid OOM situations in the first place.

Go for it. The OOM killer will hit just about anything which is not a kernel
thread, and losing syslogd and klogd is a major no-no.

I do thing one should warn about the change on upgrades through a debconf
high-priority note, though.  If one could select which behaviour should be
used, it would be even better.

True, true. However, sysklogd and klogd are logging daemons. They deserve
some special treatment IMHO.

Actually, I am pondering doing such a thing to sshd on my remote systems, 
too.

That is not always possible, and sometimes a kernel VM screwup will cause
it, no?

oops. yeah.  i should have cut-and-pasted the script i got working in

few obvious errors in the message.  but the point was to be provide
illustration of how to go about it, not an exact solution for your

---cut here---

from the (modified) input you provided, this produces output like this:

$VAR1 = {

'username' => 'root',

 'password' => 'op.re,13',
 'dbhost' => 'localhost',
 'connect' => 'DBI:mysql:database=acs:host=localhost'
   }
};
---cut here---

which is pretty much the structure you wanted.



other comments:

i still think you should use a field separator which isn't in the field
contents - much simpler, and far less prone to error.

there's also no need to have quotes (`) around the connect string -
you'll only have to strip them off before using it.

also, why have the connect string at all when it can be built up from
the details provided in the other fields?  it seems to me that the
fields you need are:

 username
 dbi_driver
 attributes
 db_name
 db_host
 db_port
 db_user
 db_password

the connect string can be built up like so:

$connect = "DBI:$driver:database=$db_name:host=$db_host" ;

(using db_port, db_user, and db_password as well if required)

anyone interested in maintaining cvsweb?

2001-12-28 Thread Joey Hess
I wonder if anyone has any more interest in maintaining cvsweb than I
do? I feel viewcvs has thoroughly superceded it in functionality, and if
I could come up with a transparent rc file converter, I would just make
the cvsweb package sidegrade to viewcvs. Failing that I'm still looking
for some way to deprecate it so it can be removed from debian
eventually.But if someone still prefers cvsweb and wants to continue to
maintain it, speak up.

I have already grabbed the latest release and started work on evms packages
for Debian, though I haven't touched them for over a week since I have been
away.  I should have experimental packages ready within the next week or so.

I have been using LVM for some time, and I am eager to start working with
EVMS.  Once I have working packages, I will be migrating some of my LVM
volumes to EVMS using them, which should be a good initial test.

I have not as yet built a kernel with the EVMS patch.  I hope it is possible
to include both LVM and EVMS for migration purposes; is this true?
