Requesting for comments: automatically and mechanically obtaining shared library package names

2002-04-13 Thread Junichi Uekawa
Hi, 

The following script is a script to obtain a shared library package name that 
would be feasible to be used within Debian package.
It outputs a pseudo-debian/control file.

There are quite a few people, and quite a few packages that aren't currently 
done
in this way (i.e. many library packages contain multiple shared libraries in 
one package),
but this could be a start for something.
(and there are other things that need work in this script, ignore the Depends: 
field
for now).


USAGE:

$ libinfodump.sh  /usr/lib/libdmachinemon.so.1.0.0
Package: libdmachinemon1
Section: libs
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}

Package: libdmachinemon1-dev
Section: devel
Depends: libpthread0-dev,libc6-dev

This is certainly a very informative page. I'd appreciate if the CPU
load problem could be solved somehow.

IMO the versioning patch from Paul Russell is not the right approach
since this is Debian specific and has nothing to do with rsync. This
should be done by a wrapper script. Maybe someone writes a debianrproxy
but then what's the difference to my script?

Rsync and single file transfer

2002-04-13 Thread Otto Wyss
Most of the scripts/methods I've seen which downloads Debian packages
with rsync do only single file transfer. IMO this must be much more
server friendly than a multi file transfer (no filelist). 

Is it possible run a rsync server with anonymous login but restricted to
single file transfer next to an rsync server with restricted login and
multi file transfer? This would allow access for secondary Debian
mirrors besides endusers. It also would allow to separate and measure
the impact endusers have on rsync servers.

Note: IMO a script like mine is also useful for secondary mirrors at
least if not all architectures are mirrored. Could any mirror
administrator make a test an publish any results?

There might be some other unrelated program called rproxy that's in

apt-proxy is written in sh (or bash?).

If we had a security team working for testing, testing would be the
distribution of choice to use. Currently, testing has the worst
security record of all Debian distributions, and I don't like that.

Unfortunately, I don't have enough spare time to start an effort in
that direction, and am therefore stuck with stable on servers, and
unstable on non-vital machines.

[WARNING] Broken libxml2 2.4.19-2 in unstable

2002-04-13 Thread christophe barbé

libxml2 2.4.19-2 in unstable is broken.

All programs using this library fail with :

relocation error: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: undefined symbol: pthread_once

This could be harmless but scrollkeeper use this library and then the
upgrade of a few packages (gnome packages) fail.

Downgrading to 2.4.19-1 fix the problem.

2002-04-13 Thread Colin Watson
retitle 128852 Ultra-newbie introductory documentation needed somewhere
reassign 128852 general
thanks

I honestly have no idea where this documentation ought to go. doc-linux
is not appropriate, as those packages contain documentation from the
LDP. The doc-debian maintainer isn't convinced that it ought to go there
either. install-doc is, as pointed out, rather large, and furthermore
Priority: extra; the primary requirement is that whatever package
contains this introductory documentation ought to be installed as
standard.

It sounds like a valid bug about the system in general that there should
be a short bootstrapping document somewhere obvious; thus, at a loss for
anything else to do with it, I'm going to reassign this bug to 'general'
and ask for further discussion.

Cheers,

Overtaking ircd?

2002-04-13 Thread Martin Loschwitz
Hi all,

since the 'ircd'-package is broken in various ways and last MU for it was in
December 1999, i plan to overtake to the package.  I've  already made new 
packages available on http://gidentd.neveragain.de/debian/ircd. 
Are there any doubts against this plan? If not, my sponsor will upload them
onto incoming.debian.org very soon to replace the old package before woody
release.

Since i'm not subscribed to debian-devel@, CC: me please.

That, again, would have to be installed as standard to satisfy this bug
report. Remember that the instructions being asked for are even simpler
than "how do I install a package?".

Also note that there's already a newbiedoc package.

pgi default configuration WIPES OUT whole filesystems without asking!!!

2002-04-13 Thread Andrea Mennucc
Package: pgi
Version: 0.9.6
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss


hi

I wanted to create an ISO image using pgi-build

I read some of the guide, gave a look at the options, and then said
'well lets try it and see what come out'

 so I typed

TMPDIR=/media/tmp/ nice pgi-build -t /media/tmp/ -o /media/ --not-official 
--include-nonfree --build-mirror=/debian/testing/ --debian-version=testing

were /media is (ACTUALLY: WAS) a big partition were I keep some nice data
(of which  I had NO BACKUP!)

the disk spinned for a while and then pgi-build told me
 rm: cannot remove directory `/media'
and stopped, and my nice partition was COMPLETELT WIPED OUT

after that , I inspected (with much more attention)
and found that in  /etc/pgi/*/options  there is
---
 # boolean indicating whether to clean the temporary directories by default
 : ${CLEAN:=1}
 export CLEAN
---

and in /usr/bin/pgi-build there is
---
...
  -o|--outdir) OUT="$2"; shift ;;
...
if [ $CLEAN -eq 1 ]; then
for DIR in $TDIR $OUT; do
if [ -d $DIR ]; then
$SU_CMD rm -rf $DIR
fi
done
fi
---

I think that it is completely crazy to ship a program that by defaults wipes
out the OUTOUT dir

I also think that it is not right, by default,
 to wipe out the temporary dir


what if I had typed in 

 pgi-build -o ${HOME}  

???

you MUST correct this bug immediatly!!

I should be encouraging you to use -maintonly for mass bug reporting

Of course I can talk only for myself, but I use testing only very
reluctantly on production servers, because

*) I have to recheck whether everything worked out right after an
   update.
*) Update all my servers at the same day so I have the same versions
   everywhere.
*) Keep up-to-date with global conversions like the sdl stuff, the
   python transition and what else, which force me to hold most stuff
   for indefinate(sp?) time.



Testing is great for my workstation where I want recent software and I
don't mind slight glitches, but I can evade the catastrophes of
unstable, but I feel uncomfortable using it on servers.


For me Stability vs. Current Versions is no binary Yes/No decision.

Things like newer kernels (and tools), newer toolchain, newer
applications (php, apache, mysql just to name a few) are _also_
important.



Nevertheless I think you are doing a great job with Debian. It just
rocks. Thank you for providing the only distribution with the fun and
community of free software built in.

Regards, David

I'll try to remember to contact you.

I am a developer in Victoria. I don't go to Vancouver very often but I
can sign keys for people in Victoria.
