Then again, you can just stick to Java and keep it at that.

Where did Bacula 1.38.11-7+b1 come from?
Hi, sid seems to contain bacula 1.38.11-7+b1, a binary-only NMU for i386, which breaks bacula-console and various other packages due to broken deps. The changelog file is signed only "buildd_i386-saens". packages.qa.debian.org doesn't know about 1.38.11-7+b1. Strangely, packages.debian.org's page for bacula-console shows 1.38.11-7+b1 on all platforms except kfreebsd-i386. It doesn't make sense why the package would be bin NMU'd everywhere. The changelog message also doesn't reference any bug number. I can't find a notice of the NMU in the BTS either. Does anybody know what is going on here? (This problem was reported in bug #411652) I think someone deserves a serious thwacking... they obviously didn't even try to install the result of the NMU, filed no bug about it, etc. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

That is so much bullshit. Whoever uploaded the binNMU uploaded broken packages. No excuses. End of story. Now, it may be that the bacula package could be improved to generate better results for a binNMU. The proper way to do that is to submit bugs, preferably with patches, so that the bacula maintainer can fix the source packages. Broken uploads are Not The Right Thing.

Usually checking is done whether the package would break before triggereing the rebuilt. Looks like this was missed this time. If your next sourceful upload would fix this it would make the release-team's work easier. The fix is simple: 1. Add a Build-dependency on dpkg-dev (>=1.13.19) 2. For all in bacula-foo packages that are arch:all replace any occurence of Depends: bacula-foo (= ${Source-Version}) with Depends: bacula-foo (= ${source:Version}) 3. (optional, but clarify things) For all in bacula-foo packages that are arch:any replace any occurence of Depends: bacula-foo (= ${Binary-Version}) Untested (For testing just set the version number to 1.38.11-7+b1 in debian/changelog and rebuild with dpkg-buildpackage -b), I'll not have time for a tested patch today or tomorrow but I can probably come up with one on the weekend if you have not had time to resolve this then. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.

This sounds inaccurate. binNMUs should still be in response to bugs wherever applicable, but they should close them unversioned since the BTS tracks source versions. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I maintain that anyone that uploads a package that is uninstallable *at the time of upload* needs something more than gentle encouragement. To upload someone else's package and render it uninstallable is even more annoying. To do that without ever even filing a bug, let alone posting info to the BTS about it, is even more so. I don't know what the difference between a regular NMU and a binNMU on all archs is, in terms of packaging practices. (Obviously Arch: all never gets built with the latter, which is the instant problem). I still don't even know who did that, or why -- since it was apparently built everywhere -- it wasn't done as a regular NMU. Having said that, I would have sent a polite message in private to the person that made the uploads. Only there is no record of that in the package or the QA system. I have repeatedly stated that I don't mind if people NMU my packages *as long as they follow the guidelines*. Here are some of the things from http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference that the person that uploaded this package didn't follow: * 5.10.2.1 (on binNMUs): "You have to make sure that your binary-only NMU doesn't render the uninstallable. This could happen when a source package generates arch-dependent and arch-independent packages that depend on each other via $(Source-Version)." (Which is exactly what happened here) * The upload violated policy section 4.4, in that the maintainer name and the email address of the *person* uploading the version do not appear in the changelog. Since this was a binNMU that effectively seems to have hit all archs, it seems that the regular NMU requirements should apply, too (Devref sec 5.11.1): * Make sure that the bug being fixed is in the BTS * Wait for maintainer reaction * Take responsibility for bugs you've introduced (now *I* have to produce a new upload, and I don't even know if I need to tighten some build-deps in control, because nobody told me what the original problem was) So yes, I'm ticked. Some unknown developer broke my package, violated policy, never told me what the problem was, and isn't taking responsibility to fix it. If you break something, you fix it. Not make someone else spend time figuring out what changed, why, by whom, and fix it. -- John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The implementation kind of sucks, but I'm not sure how a better approach would look like. It's not just the dependencies problem, it's also quite confusing that you've got a source package which builds different binary package versions on different architectures (but their are other ways to achieve that). For instance, this pretty much rules out precise tracking based on binary packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My point was rather that binNMUs need to be handled differently than normal ones since there is a) no patch to apply and b the maintainer has nothing to fix. Especially the normal "I did a NMU with the atttached patch" bug reports are useless. Tracking binNMUs in the BTS is not useful, the BTS is mainly for reaching the maintainer, having bug-reports like this does not work: * Dear maintainer, this package needs a binNMU for the libbar translation. We'll schedule one. Please do nothing. or * We just triggered a rebuild of package bar. No patch was applied. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.

There are these situations in bacula: 1) Arch all deps on arch all with the same version 2) Arch any deps on arch all with the same version 3) Arch all deps on arch any with the same version I think that the above handle cases 1 and 2, but not case 3. Actually I don't think it's possible to make case 3 binNMU-safe, or am I missing something? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

announcing edos.debian.net
Hello, I am happy to announce the availability of daily runs of edos-debcheck. The results can be accessed here: http://edos.debian.net/edos-debcheck/ A first version was set up during the QA meeting in Extremadura, but I came only recently around to implement some missing features. Fabio Mancinelli from the EDOS project had helped with the first version. * edos-debcheck: This tool checks installability of packages inside a given distribution. That is, it checks whether there exists a subset of the distribution containing a given package, and such hat all dependencies and conflicts of the subset are satisfied. An important point is that "deep" dependency and conflict chains are tested correctly. For instance, if you have A depends on B1, B2 B1 depends on C1 B2 depends on C2 C1 depends on E1 C2 depends on E2 E1 conflicts with E2 then A would be recognized as not installable. Disjunctive dependencies are handeled correctly, also in conjunction with "deep" dependencies and conlicts. This tool is also available in debian in the package of the same name. * The results shown on the web page: For each distribution in the configuration, for each of its architectures, and for a given date two numbers are given : "n (m)", where - n is the number of non-installable packages - m is the number of non-installable packages having their architecture set to some specific architecture (that is, different from "all"). Clicking on the numbers gives a detailed list, with explanations why the packages are not installable. In these lists, packages with architecture=all are indicated on grey background. There are summary columns showing packages that are not installable in some or in every achitecture of a distribution, and diffs between successive runs. * The special case of architecture=all: The reason why architecture=all packages are singled out is that there usually is a good technical excuse why they are not installable. For example, one might have packages Package A Architectures: a, b, c Package A-common Architecture: all Depends: A In this case A-common is not installable on architectures different from a, b, c, but it wouldn't make much sense to specify this in the architecture field of A-common. * Addition of more distros/architectures: If you want more distros or architectures added to this service please drop me a note. * Thanks a lot: to the ftbfs.de team, in particular to Martin Zobel-Helas, for hosting us and for their help. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Surely some human was involved here? wanna-build and buildd have been modified a while back to be able to do binNMU's. The only human involvement is when a given package is marked in the database as 'requires a binNMU', and when the buildd admin later signs the package, as usual. If the package then fails to install, that is indeed a problem; but not something our current processes can handle before the fact. -- Home is where you have to wash the dishes. -- #debian-devel, Freenode, 2004-09-22 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Would it be possible to record the name of the human that marked the package in debian/changelog? That would be a big help, I think (and hopefully avoid a discussion on debian-devel next time it happens) Probably requiring more work, but I wonder if it would be possible for the buildd -- or perhaps katie -- to verify that binNMUs don't render previously-installable packages uninstallable? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The resulting .changes will get a field like this: Source: bacula (1.38.11-7) which can be used to track back from which source this binary originated. Or are you referring to something different? regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
