Bonjour Monsieur, Je suis une des Responsable des billets d'échange au Département des Remises internationales dans une Banque. J'écris pour solliciter votre aide et assistance pour effectuer une transaction confidentielle. Jai découvert un compte abandonné dune somme de 11.500.000 dollars (Onze Millions Cinq Cent Mille Dollars) appartenant à un client étranger qui est décédé avec toute sa famille dans le crash de la Concorde en lan 2000 à Paris dans lequel presque tous les passagers ont perdu leur vie. Depuis que nous avons reçu cette information, nous espérons quun Bénéficiaire vienne réclamer les fonds car notre banque ne peux remettre cet argent à quelquun que sauf si la personne envoie une demande a la banque Comme étant bien sur une relation du disparu comme lindique la constitution de la banque ; mais malheureusement nous avons remarqué que le bénéficiaire aussi été mort ensemble avec lui car ils voyageaient ensemble.Cest donc à la découverte de cette information que jai décidé de vous proposer cette affaire afin que cet argent vous soit remis comme bénéficiaire ou une relation du propriétaire du compte pour que je vienne récupérer après comme personne ne viendra pour le réclamer jusqu'à ce que cela sera verse dans les coffres de la trésorerie de la banque .Les régulations bancaires demandent à ce que tout compte qui reste sans opération pendant trois années successives soit versé dans les coffres de la trésorerie de la banque comme fonds non réclame. Le besoin dun partenaire étranger dans un autre pays comme bénéficiaire survient dans cette affaire du fait que le propriétaire du compte est un étranger et un ivoirien ne peut jamais être son bénéficiaire direct. Nous offrons de vous donner en tant notre partenaire étranger a la suite cette transaction, un pourcentage de 20 pour cent, 5 pour cent des fonds transfères serviront au remboursement de toutes les dépenses qui seront accumulées durant le transfert sil y a lieu et les 75 pour cent ( 75% ) restant reviendra à moi. Je vous rejoindrai dans votre pays après le Transfert pour le retrait selon les pourcentage sus mentionnes. Par ailleurs, afin de faciliter le transfert le plus tôt possible vous allez envoyer une demande directement à la banque comme étant une relation du propriétaire du compte en indiquant votre banque, le numéro de compte, ou cet argent sera viré, votre numéro de téléphone et de fax pour une communication constante et effective entre nous. Des la réception de votre réponse, je vous enverrai par email ou par fax le texte de la demande. Je dois aussi vous rassurer que cette transaction est sans aucun engagement et libre de tout risque et vous ne devez pas avoir aucune peur car tous les arrangements sont pris de notre coté pour que tout se passe très bien.

eleventh-hour transition for mysql-using packages related to apache
Previously, a number of packages have had to continue to link against libmysqlclient10 in spite of the availability of libmysqlclient12 libraries from upstream's MySQL 4.0 release. Some of these have been due to the lack of a clear license exemption allowing libmyslqclient12 to be linked from GPL-incompatible programs; others have been held back to avoid segfaults caused by loading both libmysqlclient10 and libmysqlclient12 in the same address space. Over the past six months, the situation has changed significantly. The mysql maintainer, mysql upstream, and others have admirably worked through the license issues to get a license exception that meets the needs of the software that Debian distributes. You can find the current version of this license exception at [1]. At the same time, compatibility between the old client libs and the current server (including the version that we will ship with sarge) has waned, to the point that no libmysqlclient10 clients will work with the default configuration of MySQL 4.1, and some won't work with any MySQL 4.x server at all [2]. As a result, in spite of the timing wrt the release, I'm proposing a transition to libmysqlclient12 for a number of packages for sarge. The packages listed below are those packages currently in sarge which either are broken with MySQL 4.x, or have the possibility of conflicting with one of the packages that do (mostly by being loaded by a webserver such as apache or apache2, or being mysql bindings for a language that also has ODBC bindings). aspseek-libmysqldb catalog caudium-php4 freeradius-mysql gda-mysql gda2-mysql libapache-mod-acct-mysql libapache-mod-auth-mysql libapache-mod-mp3 libapache2-mod-auth-mysql libdbd-mysql libdbd-mysql-perl libgnademysql1 libmyodbc libmysql-ruby1.6 libmysql-ruby1.8 libsqlxx2.3c102 mysqltcl php3-mysql php4-mysql python2.2-mysqldb python2.3-mysqldb It would also probably be a good idea to transition these packages at the same time: dovecot-common exim4-daemon-heavy libnss-mysql libnss-mysql-bg libpam-mysql libsasl2-modules-sql I have Cc:ed the maintainers of these packages. If anyone knows of other packages linked to libmysqlclient10 that will be affected by this transition, please let us know. While introducing versioned symbols into the mysqlclient libraries could have a longer-term benefit in eliminating the kind of segfaults motivating this all-at-once transition, in the present case there are other factors: - since libmysqlclient10 didn't use symbol versioning in woody, users would still get segfaults from partial upgrades - getting benefits from symbol versioning requires rebuilding all packages depending on the library *anyway*, so we might as well upgrade to the new version of the lib in the process. I think it would be beneficial if libmysqlclient12 used symbol versioning for sarge, but I don't think that we should wait for that to happen before fixing the present issues. The current plan for this transition is as follows: - I will transition libmyodbc and php4 to libmysqlclient12 at the end of this weekend. Other maintainers are encouraged to upload around the same time. Maintainers who will not be around this week, and would like their packages to be NMUed, can email me privately. - On Wednesday, Feb 2, I will file grave bugs on any remaining packages from the first list above that have not been relinked against libmysqlclient12, because they will now certainly cause segfaults in certain configurations. The packages in the second group will not be targetted, because NSS and PAM modules may cause some segfaults regardless of which library they link against, so the fact that they do not already have RC bugs against them means that this problem is probably quite rare. - On Saturday, Feb 5, I will begin NMUing any packages from the first list that have still not been fixed. Since there are only 17 source packages total, I expect to be done by the end of the weekend. If you object to this plan, please speak up now.

It is not necessary to show that a non-obvious assertion with no rationale is irrational.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: lhs2tex Version : 1.9 Upstream Author : Ralf Hinze [EMAIL PROTECTED] Andres Loeh [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.cs.uu.nl/~andres/lhs2tex/ * License : GPL Description : Preprocessor to generate LaTeX code from literate Haskell sources lhs2TeX includes the following features: * Different styles to process your source file: for instance, "tt" style uses a monospaced font for the code while still allowing you to highlight keywords etc, whereas "poly" style uses proportional fonts for identifiers, handles indentation nicely, is able to replace binary operators by mathematical symbols and take care of complex horizontal alignments. * Formatting directives, which let you customize the way certain tokens in the source code should appear in the processed output. * A liberal parser that can handle most of the language extensions; you don't have to restrict yourself to Haskell 98. * Preprocessor-style conditionals that allow you to generate different versions of a document from a single source file (for instance, a paper and a presentation). * Active documents: you can use Haskell to generate parts of the document (useful for papers on Haskell). * A manual explaining all the important aspects of lhs2TeX. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: alpha Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-vs1.9.3 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Build-Depends: libmysqlclient-dev and buildds
The recent announce from Steve has reminded me of something I wanted to ask about the package name change from libmysqlclient-dev to libmysqlclient12-dev made in November: Do packages still having "Build-Depends: libmysqlclient-dev" build from source? Trying "apt-get build-dep" on them results on apt-get being undecided about which libmysqlclient-dev to install.

The php4 source package is also due for a reorg to enable ZTS, which will remove the need for statically building the mysql extension into this package; if we need to make this change at the same time as the mysql transition, then so be it. The only other package in your list that was mentioned at all in my email is dovecot-common, which is only loosely coupled with the others as a result of libpam/nss-mysql and libsasl2-modules-sql. > And these are just direct linkages against both libraries, there's > also a lot of bar depends on both libmysqlclient10 and libbar and > libbar itself links against libssl. - I never remember whether we > actually (have to) respect indirect linkage like that license-wise but > judging from cadaver I guess we do. This affects the PHP packages, since all the SAPI alternatives that php4-mysql can use currently link against libssl. I'll need to investigate more to see if we can get away from this; even if it means dropping the PHP OpenSSL extension, I think it's probably still a good trade. It also seems to affect libapache2-mod-auth-mysql, since apache2 includes https support by default. I don't see any way to fix this one. I don't see any other packages in the list that are likely to have this problem, although I haven't traced the dependencies to be sure. That leaves us with several choices: - ignore libapache2-mod-auth-mysql for the transition, and hope the actual incidence of segfaults from intersecting libraries is low. - push symbol versioning into libmysqlclient10 and libmysqlclient12, and break up the transition - cajole upstream into adding OpenSSL to the list of license exceptions - ship sarge with a broken myodbc package Of course, I would in any case delay the transition until we can decide on a way forward from here.

What makes you think that Debian is unique in this regard? Have you never been to a conference dinner where Rusty's flame collection is on display? For those of you who don't know Rusty has a fine collection of flames (and other silly messages) written to some very skillful Linux programmers. You can write excellent code and be nice and still get flamed a lot. This is just something you have to deal with. Children have problems with this sort of thing, adults are supposed to be able to deal with it. Anyone who can't deal with being flamed should not be permitted to drive a car. Other drivers will do offensive things, if you can't deal with it then you can't drive safely and are a threat to the life of everyone on the road. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
