The Firefox monoculture is doing a lot of harm to our community.  Just
like Linux learnt a lot from SunOS, GCC benefited from the competition
from ICC, Firefox will benefit from the competition with other players
in the same niche.  And right now, only Konqueror and Opera fit the
bill.

I won't use it, but I'll be glad to see Opera in Debian.


On a totally unrelated note, you might be interested in having a look at 
tkhtml / hv3. It's a ultra-lightweight graphical web browser that 
nevertheless passes the ACID test and handles Javascript. Unfortunately, 
it's still rather buggy and can't cope with, for example, GWT-based 
pages. But it does look like it might become a real alternative in time:


http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/hv3.html

I'd have a look at packaging it, but it's written in *cough* tcl/tk, and 
packaging it looks horribly complicated.

That's fixing a symptom, not the bug. What possible justification is
there for a package looking at the contents of $HOME during the build?

Erlang compiler reads $HOME/.erlang if it exists. It's contents may
have impact on the package. If the compiler cannot read $HOME it
reports an ugly error message (though it still works). But an
additional tool which is used in wings3d crashes if it cannot read
$HOME. So, setting HOME to something like $(CURDIR)/debian makes
package buildable and consistent (it doesn't depend on $HOME/.erlang
anymore).

So, I think that at least for erlang-based packages it's better to
redefine HOME environment varibles. Is there a better solution?

Doesn't the Erlang compiler support a command-line flag that suppresses
that behavior?  And if not, wouldn't that be useful to add?

Building packages three times in a row

[Patrick Winnertz]

Hi,

as a QA effort the whole archive was rebuilt over the weekend to catch
build-failures, whether a package can be build three tmes in a row (unpack,
build, clean, build,clean, build). 
This is the second effort to get rid of those issues. The first effort was 
announced by Martin-Zobel Helas on 16 May 2007 [0].

We found again about 400 packages not having a sane clean target. 

To cite
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-debianrules

clean

This must undo any effects that the build and binary targets may
have had, except that it should leave alone any output files created
in the parent directory by a run of a binary target.

We'll fill bug reports against every package that FTBFS in this way with 
Severity: Important. 

Furthermore we detect some issues with different package content (compared 
to the first build) after the second and third build. This bugs will have 
Severity: Serious.

You'll find after we at the end all filled bugs either here [1] or here 
[2].

Please note that building a package twice in a row is a release goal for 
lenny. 

Greetings
Patrick Winnertz

Mmpf... I've to correct the third link... there is a small typo.

You can see the filled bug reports with a different package content after 
the build here:

Web-based RSS (or feed) reader would be more accurate.
Also upstream refers to it mostly as tt-rss, which I think would
therefore be a more recognisable package name.

Will you need a sponsor? I have been using tt-rss for over a year so I
am interested in a package.

Sounds like a cool idea, with a minor issue. The contents of the CDs
and DVDs can (and do) vary a little from arch to arch. But we could
easily do

http://packages.debian.org/stable/cd1-i386/

etc. If anybody's interested, I can easily generate package lists from
the CD contents and put them somewhere accessible; just let me know
when/where/what format is best.

I wasn't aware that Konqueror, Netsurf, or the many other non-Firefox
browsers had suddenly become unavailable in our community. There
doesn't appear to be any mandate to use one specific web browser
either. So, I don't know what "monoculture" you're referring to.

Again, I don't see what's preventing people from using that software
if they want to.

Since the only way it can be in Debian is if it's free software, I'll
be glad to see that too.
