You can tell it which headers to protect, so that's not a problem.
In theory. Mailing lists do have a problem, but the list forwarder can
always re-sign the message. (It' in the draft.)

I don't like that proposal for a totally different reason: I need
to get the whole message before I can even think about rejecting it.
SPF, on the other hand, I can use as soon as I get the MAIL FROM:.

If I assume the DNS to be not compromised and mailers to be not-open-relay
(as the draft does), DomainKeys gets me precisely nothing, compared to
SPF. However, it'll hurt my bandwidth and my CPU.

svn.debian.org

2004-11-06 Thread Osamu Aoki
It took me a while to get SVN access to some projects at svn.debian.org.

It will be nice if someone can update web page contents of
svn.debian.org.

Here is example with pkg-ime.

Although svn.debian.org lists for SubVersionN:

 svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-ime/

most obvious action caused as follows:

 $ svn co svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-ime/
svn: Can't open file '/svn/pkg-ime/format': Permission denied

(This may be related to #debian-devel message "alioth: filesystems at
90+%, wrong perms")

Alternative URL guessing from actual absolute path:
 $ svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-ime/
svn: Can't open file '/svn/svn/pkg-ime/format': Permission denied

Then I tried (I have write access, so svn over ssh should work)

 $ svn co svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/pkg-ime/
svn: No repository found in 'svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/pkg-ime'

Of couse, svn+ssh with absolute path /svn/pkg-ime/ worked but this is
not so obvious from this svn.debian.org.  But short message stating
svn+ssh requires prepending of /svn/ or change all the listed URL to be
with /svn/ may be more useful.  (Assuming permission issues are gone and
symlink svn --> .  works)

Bug#279983: general: scsi emulated cdrom ide unit can't be correctly mounted first time

2004-11-06 Thread Noel Torres
Package: general
Severity: important

In my freshly rebooted computer (each time I reboot it):
Each of the first times I try to do

$ mount /cdrom

I get an error answer:

mount: /dev/scd0 no es un dispositivo de bloques válido

(english: non valid block device)
If I do

# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom

I get another error, but this one is normal and expectable:

mount: tipo de sistema de ficheros incorrecto, opción incorrecta, superbloque 
incorrecto en /dev/hdc,
   o número de sistemas de ficheros montados excesivo
   (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
   ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

(english: incorrect filesystem type, wrong option, incorrect superblock
or too many mounted filesystems)
After that error, any try to mount the cdrom as usual goes OK, but it is
always impossible to mount it before doing that.

My box is a completely updated sarge.

I don't think anyone has mentioned the need for a transition on -deity.
It would be trivial to change the default, but it would also break existing
systems.  It could possibly search a list of likely mount points, or read
fstab.

We could also transition existing systems to /media.

It would have been a good idea when these programs were being written.
It doesn't seem at all worthwhile to endure a transition of existing
software for the marginal aesthetic benefits.

Need help fixing bug #269534, #269534

2004-11-06 Thread Bao C. Ha
Hello,

I have two serious bug reports against cursel:

#267900: cursel: ftbfs [sparc] syntax error "_Bool"
#269534: cursel_0.2.2-3.1(ia64/unstable): FTBFS: bad build-depends

However, the problem seems to be with another package, objc-poc:

#258993: /usr/bin/objc1 is incompatible with gcc-3.3 and other problems

To summarize, there is certain dependencies on gcc-2.95 in objc-poc,
which cannot be resolved. I could do the following that may work
around the problem:

1. Change build-depends as follows:
Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 3.0), byacc, objc-poc, flex, libncurses5-dev, \
gcc-2.95 [!hppa !ia64], gcc-3.0 [hppa], gcc-2.96 [ia64]

2. Change debian/rules to force the c compiler as follows:
...
C  = gcc-2.95
ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_ARCH),hppa)
  CC= gcc-3.0
endif
ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_ARCH),ia64)
  CC= gcc-2.96
endif
...

But, it is insane since I will keep having bug reports. A better solution
seems to have objc-poc upgraded to 3.2.6. Should I even be
contemplating of MMUing it?

Thanks for any suggestions/comments.
Bao

Agreed. I see no point in even discussing this, considering that FHS
says "should" and not "must".
