mail server broken: are debian reject messages logged ?
Hi, I've just returned from a two-week vacation during which time my mailserver at home was broken (ADSL line problems). In fact the DNS was also unreachable, so mail bounced badly. If you sent me a mail in the last two weeks, please resend. In particular, I had some packages uploaded to the NEW queue in this period, and they have disappeared: I think they must have been rejected. Are the ftp master messages logged anywhere ? I'd like to know why they were rejected. Regards Alastair McKinstry mckins...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

If not, do it or, better (as already told) use schroot that will handle this for you (and read a up-to-date doc for schroot, for example the documentation in the package : I'm not sure the part about schroot in your document is still correct) By the way, this has little to do with the development of Debian.

Bug#536822: ITP: libclass-accessor-classy-perl -- Perl module providing minimalist, fast accessors
Package: wnpp
Owner: Jonathan Yu
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org
* Package name: libclass-accessor-classy-perl
Version : 0.9.0
Upstream Author : Eric Wilhelm
* URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Class-Accessor-Classy/
* License : Artistic | GPL-1+
Programming Lang: Perl
Description : Perl module providing minimalist, fast accessors
Class::Accessor::Classy provides an extremely small-footprint accessor/mutator
declaration scheme for fast and convenient object attribute setup. Its intent
is to be a simple and speedy mechanism for preventing hash-key typos rather
than a full-blown object system with type checking and so on.
.
The accessor ('foo') and mutator ('set_foo') methods appear as a hidden parent
class of your package and stay out of your way otherwise.

It also provides a way to create temporary directories and files, finding files, and more. . The interface and style provided by this module are quite different than Perl built-in functions or File::Spec.

Several dpkg/apt questions
Hi folks! Planning to set up one or more repos for LAN-wide software distribution, I still have the following questions: How is the debian/control file generated, out of which file(s) and/or which information? I didn't find it in the orig.tar.gz file. Technically, do the lenny and lenny/updates repos have more in common than the lenny and squeeze repos, except that the */updates repos are updated? Section 4.9 of the debian policy manual introduces the requirement of a make hashbang for the debian/rules file. Why actually is this? Why not specify it as a regular, non-executable makefile or, when using a hashbang, just prescribe the parameters and leaving up to the author of the package which interpreter should be used? I hope that these questions are meaningful... Greetings, Fabiano -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I think we are yet faraway from last decisions on what is going to be supported in squeeze and what not. So, IMHO it would be perfectly reasonable to keep the package out of squeeze for now. Once a package has migrated to testing it's bigger issue to get it back out there than getting it in in time for the next release... ... just my 2¢.

(5.0.2 etc.) squeeze/ contains the packages from testing which will (after the usual pain of the release process) form the next stable release after lenny (Squeeze will be Debian 6.0). There are large numbers of changes between stable and testing, starting from when new uploads to unstable first migrate into testing after a release; packages in stable/proposed-updates only have minimal changes to the equivalent packages in stable/ (and are therefore built specially for this purpose).
