I found those issues as well (there are 84 packages failing to build
because of that). I discussed this briefly on #debian-x, but it's not
clear yet if the X maintainers want to revert this change.

I would personally prefer if this change was reverted and done after
lenny. We don't really need 84 new RC bugs...

You should read the Debian Policy[1] and Best Packaging Practices
from Delopers reference[2]. Else you will generate packages that
look superfically correct, but, are in fact buggy. IE don't develop
by guesswork.

Ok, but REing the file format allowed me to understand the difference
between ar-as-in-GNU vs ar-as-inBSD and finding the following nasty
bug:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=474092

Anyway I'll check with Alex/Bill if this ok to not be backward
compatible and only build deb on debian machine.

Thanks everybody,

I think I told you I'd revert it.  But it would be nice if the mass bug
filing was done anyway, at important severity, so people have a chance
to fix that before it becomes RC when we drop the dependency again after
lenny.

Anyway, a serious bug against xutils 1:7.3+11 is in order for now.

Cheers,
Julien

  This module can take an algebraic expression, parses it and then uses

  evaluates to zero where there is a solution. That is, to
  solve:-

  x^2 = 5

  You would need to pass in:-

  x^2 - 5

  -, *, / and ^ (raise to power), bracketed expressions to

OK, that sounds like a good plan.  I'll file the bug against xutils and then 
start filing important severity bugs against the affected packages.

It looks to me like Helvetica[0], which is one of the 14 standard

I got a reply from the maintainer, Eric Van Buggenhaut, 2008-05-11 on
an email I sent 2008-05-04.  He said he had been busy, but hoped to
retake his debian duties in a couple of weeks or so.  Because of this,
I suspect he would be happy to get help with his packages.

Thank you for your efforts!  The development of libyaml is somewhat 
stalled, but I expect to resume it after I defend my dissertation.

The tarball name was chosen to be in line with names like sqlite or 
expat.  For instance, in Debian there's a binary package 'libsqlite3-0', 
which is built from a source package 'sqlite3'.  Similarly, there's a 
source package 'expat' together with a binary package 'libexpat1'. 
Following these examples, we could get a source package 'yaml' and a 
binary package 'libyaml0.

I agree, however, that the name 'yaml' for a package might be confusing 
since it's the name of a language that has multiple implementations and 
it may be not polite to use this name for one particular implementation. 
So I may rename the package if I come up with an alternative naming 
scheme.  I'll consider renaming the tarball and the project name for the 
next release.


Thanks,
Kirill
