Or am I totally off here? :) I think it would be pointless to reach a scenario where people are encouraged to submit the same screenshot for all different languages. That would be a PITA to maintain and unnecessary in most cases. Still, for different alphabets there might be an added value. AFAICT it is possible that an application looks sensibly different when using a left-to-right vs a right-to-left language. Maybe the right solution is support some kind of language tagging to be associated to each screenshot. Still, IMO we should refrain to encourage arbitrary screenshot "translations".

Right now I'm translating to ro for Lenny, but I don't have enough time to also update Etch. Maybe this bug should be closed?

ldconfig with a non-standard prefix
Hi I cannot find anywhere in the documentation how to solve my current problem. I have made bunch of custom packages that will install, among other things, a bunch of libraries into /opt/pkgs/packagname. I know that ldconfig gets run after apt-get. My question is how do I get it to pick up the libraries in any of the /opt/pkgs/* folders. I know how the ld.so.conf works, but I basically want an entry that says /opt/pkgs/*. I figured there has to be a standard way of doing this for debs. Does anyone know? Thanks Jonathan Steel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Allowing multiple screenshots but only one per *script* (as defined by ISO 15924see the iso-codes package) would restrict this to something manageable. FYI, there are currently 131 scripts registered in ISO-15924, but we can expect only 1 or 2 dozens of these to be commonly supported in FLOSS applications. Of course, i18n of the web interface probably comes first. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

As far as I know, most packages went to /usr/share. Regards Hans You are correct. But these are custom packages that only my company uses. I'm thinking that the best solution will be to include a file in the package that is put into /etc/ls.so.conf.d/packagename.conf. This file will contain the path to the library. I'm not crazy about this solution but I think it will work. I was just wondering if there is an accepted way to do this. But I guess not if you no debs ever go anywhere except /usr/share.

Bug#505739: ITP: ffmpeg2dirac
package: wnpp severity: wishlist owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] x-debbugs-cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], debian-devel@lists.debian.org Hi, I intend to package this and to maintain it in the collab-maint repository on alioth. If someone wants to (co)maintain or beat me in packaging it, please go ahead. I wont start before the lenny release anyway ;) regards, Holger -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: [foms] ffmpeg2dirac source available on diracvideo.org Date: Tuesday 11 November 2008 07:02 From: Anuradha Suraparaju <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Foundations of Open Media Software <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ffmpeg2dirac is a utility that converts any file that can be decoded by FFmpeg to Dirac muxed with Vorbis (if audio exists) in Ogg. It is derived from ffmpeg2theora and uses the same command line interface as ffmpeg2theora. By default it uses the dirac-research encoder to encode. If Schroedinger is installed, it uses the Schroedinger encoder if --use-schro argument is provided in the command line. The source is available for download from the diracvideo.org Git repository. I plan to add more presets and more Dirac specific command line arguments and a simple GUI in the near future. Sample encoding commands are 1. Transcode a MPEG2 video file to Dirac in Ogg ./ffmpeg2dirac -o ~/tmp/tmp/out/max-baobah_dirac_2.ogv ~/tmp/tmp/out/max-baobah.m2v 2. Transcode a DV file to Dirac+Vorbis in Ogg using the Schroedinger encoder ffmpeg2dirac -f dv --use-schro -o max-baobah_dirac_vorbis.ogv /video/max-baobah.dv I've yet to test it thoroughly. Have to clean up the configuration stuff. Currently it uses scons. But I want to replace it with a configure script. The documentation needs more work as well. The files generated play back ok in vlc. But having trouble using them with FFmpeg. There are some time stamp issues to resolve. Any comments/suggestions welcome.

Bug#505763: ITP: libfile-sharedir-par-perl -- File::ShareDir with PAR support
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: libfile-sharedir-par-perl Version : 0.02 Upstream Author : Steffen Müller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-ShareDir-PAR * License : Perl (Artistic and GPL) Programming Lang: Perl Description : File::ShareDir with PAR support File::ShareDir::PAR provides the same functionality as File::ShareDir but tries hard to be compatible with PAR packaged applications. The problem is, that the concept of having a distribution or module specific share directory becomes a little hazy when you're loading everything from a single file. PAR uses an @INC hook to intercept any attempt to load a module. File::ShareDir uses the directory structure that is typically found in the directories that are listed in @INC for storing the shared data. In a PAR enviroment, this is not necessarily possible. When you call one of the functions that this module provides, it will take care to search in any of the currently loaded .par files before scanning @INC. This is the same order of preference you get for loading modules when PAR is in effect. If the path or file you are asking for is found in one of the loaded .par files, that containing .par file is extracted and the path returned will point to the extracted copy on disk. Depending on how you're using PAR, the files that are extracted this way are either cleaned up after program termination or cached for further executions. Either way, you're safe if you use the shared data as read-only data. If you write to it, your changes may be lost after the program ends. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
system users
Hi! ,[ http://wiki.debian.org/AccountHandlingInMaintainerScripts ] | A collision free way to name system accounts should really be mentioned | in Debian policy to stop this uncontrolled growth of different methods. ` Is it any progress on this matter? While more and more daemon become unprivileged or "privilege separation"-able, we get more and more system users. On some systems like OpenBSD, all those users are starting with underscore to avoid collision with real users. On Debian, I have never seen this, even for packages that comes from OpenBSD (like openntpd which uses "ntpd"). Is there some drawbacks with underscore?
