Bug #140769: frozen-bubble: RC bug
Package: frozen-bubble Version: 0.9.2-9 Severity: critical Frozen-bubble is holding up the release process as all the developers are now hooked and are no longer working on woody, hence the RC status as this package is single handedly holding the whole release process back. Either the game is made less addictive or it should be removed until after woody is released. The fate of the woody lies in your hands. =) -- Rob 'robster' Bradford http://robster.org.uk signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Release Process Information on http://www.debian.org/ correct?
Hello,
Quoting http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-ftparchives.html#s-frozen
| 5.4 What about "frozen"?
|
| When the testing distribution is mature enough, it becomes frozen,
| meaning no new code is accepted anymore, just bugfixes, if necessary.
| Also, a new testing tree is created in the dists directory, having a
| new codename. The frozen distribution passes through a few months of
| testing, with intermittent updates and deep freezes called `test
| cycles'.
|
| We keep a record of bugs in the frozen distribution that can hold off
| a package from being released or bugs that can hold back the whole
| release. Once that bug count lowers to maximum acceptable values, the
| frozen distribution becomes stable, it is released, and the previous
| stable distribution becomes obsolete (and moves to the archive).
I am quite confident that the first paragrapgh is completly bogus, but
before I submit a bug against www.debian.org (which severity, I think
serious or important?) I wanted to ask for confirmation/information.
My understanding of the current release process:
1 Lets make a release, after ...[1] is resolved
2 freeze policy
while (bugsquashing) {
3 release manager modifies testing-scripts, and doubles
testing-periods (20 instead of 10 days for urgency=normal)
4 Delete packages with rc-bugs from woody.
5 Base has no rc-bugs and is frozen, i.e. testing-scripts won't
forward any base packages from sid. (Updates for base packages
targeted for woody have to be uploaded to woody-proposed-updates
and are moved manually by the release manager, _if_ he accepts
them)
6 Standard has no rc-bugs and is frozen, i.e. testing-scripts won't
forward any base packages from sid.
(woody-proposed-updates-paragraph similar to 5)
}
7 The release manager removes all remaining packages with open
rc-bugs, waits two days, and calls it stable.
I am missing any information about bf, I assume I could duplicate 5
and s/base/bf/ ?
4 should probably placed in some while(), too, but iirc deletion of
packages has become more frequently.
I am really not sure about 7, but it is the only way I can think it
could be possible to release on 2002-05-01.
thanks, cu andreas

dialog alternatives
Hi all, Just out of curiosity, should there be alternatives for dialog/xdialog? I mean, on my system, I'd rather have gdialog used instead of xdialog (for GUI consistancy with my other apps, which are 95% gtk/gnome). For some scripts I've written, I've checked for X: if X exists, it thens finds an X based dialog program (looks for gdialog, then xdialog, then defaults to text dialog); if no X, then it just uses dialog. I'd imagine a lot of other scripts do similar, or just default to text dialog, which can be inconvenient, espcially when launching said script from a Window manager/desktop menu. So, back to my point (wow, I actually had one?), should there be an alternatives for dialog, so we can at least simplify the scripts to "launch xdialog when X11 is around, launch text dialog otherwise," and leave the actual GUI implementation of the xdialog program up to the sysadmin?

RFC: Packaging buildd
The buildd source available from :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/CVS (module wanna-build) does not have a functional debian directory. I have also not been able to contact the maintainers so far--is this source actively maintained? I have added autoconf/make support, and repackaged it using debhelper. So far, the packages are built almost the same as the old version of the packaging (but make is now used to install the files, rather than copying every file manually), though I will change this. I have added a buildd init script, crontab and emacs install/remove scripts for buildd-reply.el. TODO: sbuild is now available in Debian, so this package will have to be removed, and some bits moved to the buildd package. Sensible conffile locations e.g. under /etc/buildd. Put some of the scripts under /usr/share//bin, e.g. in wanna-build. Write manpages--some are zero-length in CVS!! Does anyone who uses buildd/wanna-build/rbuilder have any comments? I don't yet have a big enough HDD to run an autobuilder offline, so I have not tried to use it yet. I won't be able to do much more till June, but I'll have plenty of time then to fix things. The packaging is far from complete, but what I have done so far is available from http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~rl117/buildd/ (source and i386 debs).

contrib and installability in testing
I've noticed that several packages from contrib are unable to get into testing because (as allowed by policy's definition of contrib) they depend on packages not in the distribution. I appreciate that this is a bit of a pain to distinguish from normal uninstallable packages, but is there any chance that some exceptions could be made? I'm thinking of things like this: trying: fop skipped: fop (157+1) got: 32+0: a-8:a-6:h-15:i-3 * i386: libfop-java (missing j2sdk1.3 | j2se1.3 | java2-runtime) trying: jakarta-jmeter skipped: jakarta-jmeter (149+1) got: 32+0: a-8:a-6:h-15:i-3 * i386: jmeter (missing j2sdk1.3) trying: junit skipped: junit (148+2) got: 32+0: a-8:a-6:h-15:i-3 * i386: junit (missing java2-runtime | j2re1.3) There are probably some similar non-Java packages I've missed. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Wasteful packaging
As I'm sat waiting for my local mirror to update so I can get some test DVD images created, I've been looking through some of the larger packages that have been taking a while. We have some huge packages that are wasting space on CDs for release and (more importantly) mirrors and their bandwidth.

libusb and testing?
Hi.. out of curiosity, does anyone know what's keeping the new libusb out of testing? I can't find anything useful in update_excuses.html and I can't make sense of the lines in update_output.txt. I ask because it seems to be holding a fair few things up (my particular concern is that it's holding up a newer kghostview which will stop every koffice app from crashing when you try to print preview). Just wondering what remains to be done to let libusb 1:0.1.5-3 in.

This is apt to break unless you are careful, and causes dependency loops. Don't try to do it before woody. Don't expect every package to be able to do it unless you can introduce some automatic scheme for doing it automatically, without breaking something. regards, junichi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] : Junichi Uekawa http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer GPG Fingerprint : 17D6 120E 4455 1832 9423 7447 3059 BF92 CD37 56F4 Libpkg-guide: http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

> What, pray tell, doesn't work?
The menus never show all the items even when there are only three (the
scrollbar works, though). It messes up the text in menus that work fine
with dialog ('Properties of Provider', frex). Try 'pppconfig --xdialog'.
> Also, since I wouldn't know what things to test, how badly is gdialog
> broken?
At the moment it cuts off the bottoms of my larger menus (and has no
scrollbar). After half a dozen instances of having it suddenly break I
decided that I shouldn't subject the users to it as the default. It is
still available via 'pppconfig --gdialog'.
> There are no filed bugs on gnome-utils regarding missing functionality...
I'm pretty busy with real life right now, but feel free to run 'pppconfig
--gdialog', observe the results, and file bugs with patches.
