How can anacron decide whether it is ok to run a hourly cron job once
or n times, or whether a cron job is only meaningful if it is run at
the right time and does more harm being run at the wrong time than
being missed altogether?

fcron can, but it does not have enough functionality to *replace* cron yet.
I just ask that people don't bother filing a bug, and code it and send me
(and upstream) a patch, instead.

Isn't it the responsibility of the job itself to check for that (if it
does more harm than good)?

A missed cron job should never be run multiple times. If that is realy
needed then the job itself should make sure it is run often enough. I
doubt anything will need that or even get usefull results from running
multiple times. I certainly wouldn't want my mrtg, runs every 5
minutes, to be run 1000 times after boot.
Nothing garanties that cron jobs are run at the right time. Running
it a bit later (whenever you boot) is just like it being delayed due
to excess load. If there are things that shouldn't be run at the wrong
time we should find them and protect them in the job itself.
I think overall it serves the users more to default to running missed
cronjobs on boot than not. If that causes you problems you can always
purge anarcron or fcron or protect the jobs itself. There might eb
cases where it harms but those should be the minority.

Hi. I am trying to install the development files for motif but i get this: porter:~# apt-get install libmotif-dev Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree...

This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed.

They will run once at (shortly after) bootup and end up with a slightly wrong date in the filename. If you only include the week in the name a simple if [ -e log.$WEEK ]; then exit 1; fi will protect against running twice in one week.

It can significantly reduce the time to describe a form and to fill it with components. The layout manager introduces a unique layout feature: it honors the screen resolution and dialog font size to retain the layout proportions in different environments. . Also, we have seperated the layout task from the panel construction. Therefore we provide a set of non-visual builders that assist you in defining common panel layouts and in filling a form with components. The JGoodies Forms ships with general purpose builders and builders for specialized layout tasks. For example, the DefaultFormBuilder helps you build forms with one, two, three, or four columns. The ButtonBarBuilder specializes in building button bars. . On top of these non-visual builders the JGoodies Forms provides factories that create the most frequently used layouts, panels, bars and stacks. We recommend to use the factory methods whenever possible; future releases may map a logical panel creation to a concrete creation method that honors the platform and look&feel, for example the Mac vs. Windows button bar layout, where Mac has the default button in the right hand side and Windows in the left. .

Note that by running only cron.{daily,weekly,monthly}, anacron is
not forced to parse crontabs, worry about permissions, change users,
etc. etc. etc. All it has to do is run scripts.It's not a bug, it's a
significant design choice.
Perhaps popcon should create an @boot job as well as daily. The @boot
job could check "have I run yet today", and then DTRT.

It is now working (though it still needs improvement and reporting capabilities) and available at http://zorglub.diwi.org/pkg-descriptions Please play with it and report any problem / requests you might have before we start the actual work. The wiki page currently lists a number of traditional problems of the descriptions that reviewers should be aware of. Feel free to complete or improve this list. I tried to sum up the discussion about the technical details and not make it too controversial, if you think more discussion is needed, please do it on the list, not on the wiki.

This short description is a bit long and it also leaves it unclear to me what the program actually does. The verb evaporate means, according the WordNet dictionary: v 1: lose or cause to lose liquid by vaporization leaving a more concentrated residue; "evaporate milk" syn: vaporize, vaporise 2: cause to change into a vapor; "The chemist evaporated the water" syn: vaporise 3: change into a vapor; "The water evaporated in front of our eyes" syn: vaporise At a guess, does vamps make MPEG2 streams smaller? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I notice a few things: 1) It seems that only two people can comment on an entry. If I see a problem that two other people have missed, I can't point it out. 2) It looks like I can edit other people's observations, possibly by accident (by hitting submit after them). Fix (1) and this should go away, too. 3) It doesn't look like there is a way to comment on the "current proposal", only on the original description (and only for two people; see above). 4) I notice tags are part of the description shown. Do you intend to review the tags as well? This should be clarified on the wiki. If the answer is "yes", a link to tags documentation needs to be added. 5) The things to look for needs some work. For example, it needs something like "description fails to show how the package fits in with related pacakges" (e.g., foo-pgsql vs. foo-mysql. Or many others) PS: Having "Improper english" as a thing to look out for on the Wiki page was rather bad looking. Fixed.

Right! I'm wrong =( vamps allow you to reduce the size of MPEG2 streams... It could be used for making a backup of video-Dvd. This program is not clean documented, but it is nedded by k9copy (I sent another ITP this evening). > The verb evaporate means, according the > WordNet dictionary: > > v 1: lose or cause to lose liquid by vaporization leaving a more [cut] >eyes" syn: vaporise > > At a guess, does vamps make MPEG2 streams smaller? yes! vamps do that! A new Description could be: Vamps is a tools for recompress and modify the structure of a DVD or Vamps permits the backup of DVD (or MPEG2 streams) putting more details in the long description... cheers, Claudio -- ~~>MaXeR <~~ http://www.knio.it Comunità Italiana Utenti Debian: http://www.debianizzati.org - http://guide.debianizzati.org pgp1xugcOfnJ8.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi Frank, I don't really use this program anymore and want to concentrate on other Debian work, so offering this for adoption. Since it is non-free (due to some dubios license extensions) I will As far as I understand the non-XXL-Version (1.4.x) *is* GPLed and therefore free. I just saw that the current version 1.4.2 is indeed in non-free (never thought about this before), but as I remember from some postings on the mailing list upstream always told everyone that 1.4.x is under the GPL. This needs to be clarified, of course. ask for it's removal in a few months if nobody wants it. That would be really sad since I use it regularly, as it is a really nice tool. Would you still be able to sponsor me if this ends with me maintaining the package?

As for the accident, yes, that's a possible risk, the best solution is to carefully coordinate the work through the wiki. I don't expect dozens of people anyway :) I also added a few safeguards: reviewers must be different, you can't fill review2 if review1 isn't filled. > 3) It doesn't look like there is a way to comment on the "current > proposal", only on the original description (and only for two people; > see above).

If the > answer is "yes", a link to tags documentation needs to be added. This was actually a side effect of the filling script. I had thought it might be a good idea to review tags at the same time, but I think it's too early for a tags review.
