I don't think it's a question of "widespread need".  I think the
examples you gave (documentation updates and "microrelease patches")
should not be treated this way.  Either you take all that upstream
provides at that point in time - then make a new upstream version (and
use the date as (part of) the version number).  Or review them
individually, then you don't need a makefile target.

Hello,
indeed some functionalities might be hard to port.

This porting OpenSSL --> GnuTLS might be requested by license / 
copyright policies from Debian as we intend to package this application under 
Debian.

This is linked to a thread on the Debian legal mailing list :

[Help] WordNet -> dict conversion (Was: [Help] Autoconf problems when trying to build WordNet 3.0 package)

This hint seemed me very reasonable and worked fine.
Thanks for all who provided help.

Now I was able to prepare packages from WordNet 3.0 which
are available at

  http://people.debian.org/~tille/packages/wordnet/

The last remaining problem is in the WordNet dict conversion
program that was kindly provided by Sebastian Hagen
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.  It just happens that

   $ dictl -d wn test

works fine but

   $ dictl -d wn toast
   No definitions found for "toast", perhaps you mean:
   wn:  oast  boast  roast

Even if there is

   $ wn toast -over
   Overview of noun toast

   The noun toast has 4 senses (first 1 from tagged texts)
   ...

So this problem was just solved by Sebastian for WordNet 2.1 and
I just hope that he could review his code to make things work also
under 3.0.

Kind regards and thanks for the help

Andreas.

The question is, whether these "easier" upgrade paths are still correct. For
example, britney might decide to remove the older binary in favour of newer
data in your setting, which is legal, but, from the perspective of the
user, useless.

When the disperse collection doesn't point exact to the data (yes, the
data not the result) you want to analyze. In other words, that's why
some people are asked for who they're going to vote in a election
(opt-in base but also a disperse collection) and the statistics aren't

FWIW recent GNOME desktops in unstable using gnome-mount for doing the
mounting
stuff, already have this kind of functionality. Whenever you unmount a
removable
device, gnome-mount will show you a message via notification-daemon, when
it is
safe to unplug the device. I'm not sure if XFCE in Debian already uses
gnome-mount, though.

Hi Martin,

Does this imply that all FORTRAN-using packages will need to move from
g77-3.4 to gfortran-4.2 in the near future?  To my knowledge there has
been no mass rebuild of FORTRAN packages with gfortran yet to see how
smoothly this will work out...

As I understand it the challenges involved in a mass switch to gfortran
are two-fold.  First, gfortran and g77 by default produce code with
different ABIs (at least for functions that return REAL or COMPLEX;
possibly also in other cases?) so probably a transition plan for
libraries, similar to the C++ ABI change transitions, will be needed.

Second, another complicating factor is that since gfortran is not going
to provide an f77 or g77 symlink (I understand this is because it is not
a complete standards-compliant implementation of a FORTRAN 77 compiler),
all the build infrastructures of FORTRAN packages will need to be
altered so that they call gfortran instead of f77 / g77 / $(FC) / $(F77).

best regards,

Is Elie Rosenblum ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) MIA?

2007-06-28 Thread Gunnar Wolf
Hi,

I'm trying to find Elie Rosenblum - He is currently listed as the
maintainer for six packages in main and one in non-free [1], and has
not had an upload since Sarge. mia-query says his last upload was in
2004-07. In 2006-12-12 there was a mail where he offered to orphan his
packages (or so I understand from mia-query's output), which was not
carried out.

I just hijacked libnetaddr-ip-perl, for which a member of the pkg-perl
team has been working on to bring it up to date. He has four other
Perl modules packaged (libc-scan-perl, libdata-flow-perl,
libnet-smtp-server-perl, libquota-perl), as well as procmail-lib.

Elie: Of course, before continuing, do you consider coming back? Do
you mind what I'm doing? I'm of course not trying to push you away,
but to push Debian's quality up :)

So... Is anybody interested in the packages right now? If nobody steps
forward, the pkg-perl group can take the Perl modules - but it's
always better if they are taken by somebody who actually uses them.

Now, regarding his 'album' package in non-free: popcon reports 261
users - Not too much, but not too little :) If it is not taken, it
should probably be removed.

I'm right now filing O: bugs on all the packages. If nobody picks them
up, I'll close them when importing into the pkg-perl group.

Greetings,

I compiled about 2000 packages on arm and didn't find any problems.
I didn't test Java though.  I also didn't test on armel.

Re: GCC 4.2 transition

2007-06-28 Thread Daniel Schepler
I've been unable to reproduce any of the "One Definition Rule" bugs you filed.  
Jigdo builds fine; apt builds successfully apart from #428623 (and #359634 on 
my local setup); and gnome-vfsmm2.6 is fine until it hits #422813.  It looks 
like something was either fixed or reverted.  I also tried compiling jigdo 
using the current gcc-snapshot, and it built fine after I added some missing 
#includes.

So with your permission, I'd like to close those three bugs.

BTW: anybody more versed in the bts system than I am, how can I get #359634 
marked as not actually being fixed?  My clumsy attempts just ended up making 
things more confused.

Errr, what's the rush now to get this fixed? It's something that has
been there like forever, the bug report proposes adding a new field
which personally I don't like taking lightly.

I've been pondering on what's the cleanest way to fix it for some time,
and I tend to agree with Steve about using the make options to test
for the existence of the targets. But as others have pointed out it's
not clear why that change was reverted at the time.

The same problem for m68k:

As I found in http://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/wanna-build-states
'uploaded' state is a short-term state, so any delay longer than an
hour should not be.

Almost any interesting program, free software or otherwise, infringes
some unknown, non-zero number of registered software idea patents. If
that were the only criterion for a software work to fail the DFSG,
Debian would be pretty much empty.

My understanding is that Debian declares a work non-free if a holder
of a software idea patent is *actively enforcing* a patent that covers
the work, such that Debian cannot distrigute the work as free
software.

Fraunhofer has a track record of actively enforcing software idea
patents against the algorithms in MP3 encoding software. Thus, such
works cannot be redistributed as DFSG-free software by Debian.

Ditto the DVD-CCA actively enforcing against DeCSS.

I don't know whether that is true for any of the software idea patents
that cover FreeType.
