This is exactly what I'm saying. There is a cost, but it is small

Who said that?

And by the way, have you talked about the cost of all this spam going
through? I'm currently still receiving between 100 and 200 spams per day
on my @debian.org, and this has a *huge* cost.

localeconfig.postinst does write /etc/environment, is this a bug?  

If yes, which package is supposed to handle the file, then?  It isn't
registered with dpkg, no other maintainer script except localeconfig's
handles it, and it isn't in /var/lib/ucf/hashfile, either.

(Not so fresh) News about locales

2006-07-19 Thread Denis Barbier
Hi,

locales.postinst has been modified to write locale variables
into /etc/default/locale instead of /etc/environment; the
latter file is a PAM configuration file, so modifying it
was a policy violation.  Most packages have been modified
accordingly, but if you have trouble with some programs,
please file bugs against them.  You may also need to manually
copy locale variables from /etc/default/locale into
/etc/environment if you reconfigure the locales package,
this file is no more updated since it is a policy violation.
A new update-locale(8) program is provided so that /etc/default/locale
can be modified by other maintainer scripts.

A new locales-all package has been introduced in glibc 2.3.6-10,
it contains all supported compiled locale files.  The main
reason is that generating UTF-8 locales on low resource machines
is a major pain.  It does not need to conflict with locales (because
it contains compiled locale files and not source data files), so
both packages can be installed simultaneously, which means that
locales-all cannot ship an /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive archive.
It currently ships files under /usr/lib/locales-all/ and instructions
on how to use these files can be found in README.Debian.  There has
been some discussions on #375829, and my current plan for etch is to
let locales-all ship a compressed /usr/lib/locales-all/supported.tar.gz
tarfile containing current files, and its postinst will uncompress it
and run localedef --add-to-archive on all locales.
We will see after etch how this can be improved.

Denis

The page is outdated, scottwatcher was feeding the Debian PTS and used

You need only post one ITP bug per source package. And AFAICS there is just

Could there be a arch build test befre upload?

2006-07-19 Thread Joseph Smidt
I've been maintaining texmaker which has originally built fine on all
architectures but failed to build on arm after the last upload.  Luckily
for me one of the arm devs helped me out and uploaded a fixed version.
He was able to test on arm and when it worked informed me.

The experience got me thinking, wouldn't it be nice if all
maintainers could test there packages on all architectures before they
uploaded?  Maybe a dbuildtest command before dupload which ran your
package on the various architectures to test whether it builds.  You
could view all the build logs and if everything checks out you know the
package is ready.  

The arm dev suggested using experimental for such a purpose,
which I admit is a good idea, but isn't that more than is needed if all
you want to test is whether it builds on all architectures.  dbuildtest
could be another sanity test on top of linda and lintian.  Then you know
in advance if the build would work.

I just wondered what you all thought about this idea.

No, i've told him (and jvw if i recall correctly) about the
scottwatcher's idea / PTS integration and they decided to use a new
keyword (derivatives) to support more than Ubuntu. He missed that
scottwatcher was the first, but it was almost useless fast since
Ubuntu wasn't updating the patch list promptly. It wasn't in a public
mailing list all the time, but one of my first messages about
scottwatcher was to utnubu-discuss[0].

Well, anyway i've just updated the scottwatcher page in gluck to point
out that this is now officially deprecated and Ubuntu is sending the
mails to the PTS.

You Cc: Progeny folks, so it looks like you believe that localeconf
is the culprit; maybe the contents of this file can shed some light.
This package is unmaintained for years, and is mostly useless nowadays.
I just filed #378941.
Thanks.

I just did. Master's exim configuration has been changed today [1]. DSA
probably tried to improve the configuration since master.d.o has been
suffering from overload recently.

The check for the X-PTS-Approved header has been hardwired in exim4.conf
but the check is more strict that the one I used to have: I would only
require the header when sending mail to @packages.qa.debian.org
and *not* when sending mails to _@packages.qa.debian.org
since those emails are not advertised and not (yet) spammed.

Dear admins, any chance to implement the same (looser) check in exim4.conf
instead of the current one?

In the mean time, anyone who is affected by this change should just add
the required header.

Cheers,

[1] I've found this in master's /etc/exim4/exim4.conf (which has been modified 
today):
#!!# ACL that is used after the DATA command
check_message:
  require verify = header_syntax

  denyhosts  = !+debianhosts
  condition = ${if [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
def:h_X-PTS-Approved:{false}{true}}}{false}}
  message   = messages to the PTS require an X-PTS-Approved header

Too much load for the buildd network, I believe. Notice that you do
have chroots in various port machines, and you can request that
build-deps for your package be installed on them.

See you,

Re: lilypond and python

2006-07-19 Thread Matthias Klose
well, there's curently only one person spreading lies and fud about
python packaging, so please don't talk about "lies" as well. I'm still
testing uprades and fixing upgrade issues. experimental has a
python-defaults pointing to 2.4, so you can prepare your package and
upload it to experimental. "pending" doesn't imply "will be fixed in x
days".

Re: Bug#378872: ITP: libsvm0 -- LibSVM is a machine-learning library providing Support Vector Machines in C++

These all look like packages you want to generate from a single
source package. Also, libsvm0-dev is a bad name, IMHO, because the
ABI, which the 0 identifies, is not relevant for the -dev package,
unless the 0 also specifies the API version.

I suggest you merge the five bugs into one as ITPs are generally per
source package.

Could you implement something that does this so we can assess
whether it's reasonable for the current workflow? Note that I am
sceptical and think that the effort is too much for Debian
maintainers and may lead to (more) negligence of packages... so
don't implement it unless you're sure that this is a viable idea wrt
the way Debian works.

Stop it right now.

alioth has greylisting.  This whole discussion has, though, never been about 
alioth.  I guess you *both* know that already since you've read the 
discussion.  So don't play silly just for the sake of it, please.
