Still, enabling it (even > broken) just after squeeze will definitely be the first action to > take. I think it is a great shame that the existing patch has not been sufficiently tested for inclusion into Squeeze. It is undeniably embarrassing for one of the premier Linux distributions to ship without WPA support in its installer in late 2010 - it will likely be 2012 before the next release. I am not pointing any fingers and I take some shared responsibility for this failure. The question is, how can we learn from this mistake and avoid such embarrassment in future? I am not familiar with the d-i team's procedures, but would it be possible to proactively "call for testers" of a patch far enough in advance that people like me - who lurk on this list while maintaining only a single low-scoring package - could come out of the woodwork and send you some test results? This may well have been done only on debian-boot: I don't subscribe to debian-boot because the volume is unmanageable and I don't install very often. I suspect this might be quite a common situation for potential testers - perhaps it would be helpful to mirror requests for testing on debian-devel and/or on http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/? Was a pre-built installer provided for testers or were they expected to roll their own? In 2006 I had a long email debate with Geert Stappers and the late Frans Pop about these issues: the difficulty of building your own installer and the steepness of that learning curve (as well as suggestions for splitting debian-boot into a high-volume list for most reports and a lower-volume list for discussion of installer internals). I see from the Debian wiki that there is more information available now than there was four years ago, but there is still a yawning chasm between being able to download and test an installer ISO and being able to check out the source, apply a patch and build your own. Looking back, would it have been better to apply the patch earlier and get more test results that way? I'm unsure on the d-i team's criteria for adding a new patch, but perhaps these could be reviewed so that patches like WPA are mainstreamed earlier and tested more widely? Or perhaps the installer should have "testing" and "unstable" versions so that not-fully-tested patches can be pre-built for people to test in "unstable"? These are just some thoughts. I hope the d-i team will take them as constructive and not offensive. My continued thanks to the entire team for their ongoing efforts to keep Debian excellent.

Well, it /could/ be updated via tpu still, if someone can isolate the changes required and produce a proposed diff. I'm really not overly keen on importing a new upstream version in to testing at this point, after 18 months with no maintainer uploads and a handful of NMUs.

Traditionally, Drupal has hard-coded most of this, particularly in how taxonomy and tracker lists are formatted. . This tool is essentially a smart query builder that, given enough information, can build the proper query, execute it, and display the results. It has four modes, plus a special mode, and provides an impressive amount of functionality from these modes. . Among other things, Views can be used to generate reports, create summaries, and display collections of images and other content. . You need Views if: . * You like the default front page view, but you find you want to sort it differently. * You like the default taxonomy/term view, but you find you want to sort it differently; for example, alphabetically. * You use /tracker, but you want to restrict it to posts of a certain type. * You like the idea of the 'article' module, but it doesn't display articles the way you like. * You want a way to display a block with the 5 most recent posts of some particular type. * You want to provide 'unread forum posts'. * You want a monthly archive similar to the typical Movable Type/Wordpress archives that displays a link to the in the form of "Month, (X)" where X is the number of posts that month, and displays them in a block.

How to add dependencies that exist in another repository
Hello all, I don't seem to be able to find my answer searching the net, so please forgive me if my question is too trivial. I am packaging a product which is dependent on sun-java6-sdk (upstream says it won't work with openjdk). in ubuntu, that package is in the partner repository which I can get user consent to add, using debconf. in shell, I would normally do an add-apt-repository for the repository and then an apt-get update before I can install the sun-java6-sdk package. my question is, can I do something like that in my own install scripts? can I run add-apt-repository and apt-get update while the package is being installed? won't it break if the package is installed with aptitude or dpkg an on debian instead of ubunut?

Re: How to add dependencies that exist in another repository
Hi Rex, In my opinion a more appropriate place for you question would be the Debian mentors list. This list is more meant for Debian development. I have cc'ed it as such. Why do you need to do anything above the normal for this. The package sun-java6-jdk exists in the Debian non-free repository. Just add the dependency as normal. You package will be restricted to the contrib section though (if it is free, if not non-free) as it depends on a non-free package.

Bug#602842: ITP: condor -- workload management system
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Michael Hanke * Package name: condor Version : 7.4.4 Upstream Author : Condor Team, Computer Sciences Department, University of Wisconsin-Madison URL : http://www.cs.wisc.edu/condor * License : Apache License, Version 2 Programming Lang: C++, Java Description : workload management system Description --- [from webpage] Condor is a specialized workload management system for compute-intensive jobs. Like other full-featured batch systems, Condor provides a job queueing mechanism, scheduling policy, priority scheme, resource monitoring, and resource management. Users submit their serial or parallel jobs to Condor, Condor places them into a queue, chooses when and where to run the jobs based upon a policy, carefully monitors their progress, and ultimately informs the user upon completion. While providing functionality similar to that of a more traditional batch queueing system, Condor's novel architecture allows it to succeed in areas where traditional scheduling systems fail. Condor can be used to manage a cluster of dedicated compute nodes (such as a "Beowulf" cluster). In addition, unique mechanisms enable Condor to effectively harness wasted CPU power from otherwise idle desktop workstations. For instance, Condor can be configured to only use desktop machines where the keyboard and mouse are idle. Should Condor detect that a machine is no longer available (such as a key press detected), in many circumstances Condor is able to transparently produce a checkpoint and migrate a job to a different machine which would otherwise be idle. Condor does not require a shared file system across machines - if no shared file system is available, Condor can transfer the job's data files on behalf of the user, or Condor may be able to transparently redirect all the job's I/O requests back to the submit machine. As a result, Condor can be used to seamlessly combine all of an organization's computational power into one resource. Plan At the batch queueing systems BoF at DebConf10 this software has been discussed as a potential addition to Debian. I plan to start tracking the 'stable' series -- maybe adding a dedicated package for the 'development' series sometime in the future (if there is enough manpower). Upstream already has some Debian packages, but uses external software that is downloaded and built from source instead of exclusively relying on Debian packages. I want to start from upstream packaging and improve integration into the Debian system. If you are interested in co-maintaining this package, please drop me a note. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
