New user and group name for inadyn package

2010-12-07 Thread Timur Birsh
Hello Debian Developers,

I'm packaging new version of inadyn package [1]. inadyn can run as daemon, 
therefore I created init.d script. Daemon supports dropping its privileges 
on start as well. I chose inadyn for the user name and inadyn for the group 
name with dynamically allocated system IDs. Are there any 
comments/suggestions please?

1. http://packages.debian.org/sid/inadyn

Thanks,

Timur

Bug#606189: ITP: owfs -- 1-Wire File System

2010-12-07 Thread Vincent Danjean
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Vincent Danjean 

* Package name: owfs
  Version : 2.8p4
  Upstream Author : Paul H Allfille
* URL : http://owfs.org
* License : GPL-2, LGPL-2, BSD (depending on components)
  Programming Lang: C, C++, C#, Perl, Python, java, ruby (lots of bindings)
  Description : 1-Wire File System

Global description:
 1-wire is a communication protocol, wiring scheme and system of devices and
 "iButtons".  The design and control of the protocol is from Dallas Semi (part
 of Maxim Semiconductor). The 1-wire protocol uses in fact 2 wires: one
 for ground and the active wire for data *and* power!
 .
 OWFS is an easy way to use the powerful 1-wire system of Dallas/Maxim. It is
 a simple and flexible program to monitor and control the physical
 environment.  You can write scripts to read temperature, flash lights, write
 to an LCD, log and graph, ...

Then, there will be a short paragraph for each package (langage bindings, main
library, documentation, ...)
  

 If some people with knowledge in Python and php packaging are interrested to
help, they are welcome. Let me know. Java, C# and ruby bindings are not yet
ready but I will ask for help when they will be.
 If some people want to co-maintain this package, there are also welcome.

 The apport failure as bugged me for a while, I tried to reproduce it
 multiple times in the past and even just understanding the failure from
 the source and error message, but couldn't figure it out in the past;
 I'm attaching an amd64 build log, result of:
sbuild -A -d natty apport_1.16-0ubuntu1.dsc
 (it built fine)

 This is using Ubuntu's .tar.bz2 chroots as downloaded from Launchpad
 and a moderately configured sbuild 0.60.5-1ubuntu2; maybe your chroot
 is constructed in a specific way?  If you have notes on how you create
 your chroots, these would be interesting

 Maybe the difference is in the order in which files are returned when
 scanning directories, perhaps because we're using different
 filesystems.

 I can see that different code pathes are being used, but install_auto()
 is supposed to iterate over data/icons symlinks and create target
 directories even before the install subcommands are run; I don't
 understand why it isn't run in your case

I'm building on tmpfs, FWIW. If the build process involves creating
temporary files on a filesystem without sub-second granularity (like
ext3 on /tmp), then copying them back on tmpfs, and comparing their
mtimes, it can cause problems.
All packages in Debian are currently fine with this, but in the past,
there were some packages with configure scripts from broken autoconf
versions, I think. It's possible that something similar is happening
here.
Are you building on ext3 or ext4?

I could reproduce the failure in a clean chroot generated with
debootstrap --variant=buildd. on IRC, Michael Bienia also said that he
was able to reproduce the failure using pbuilder.

Re: strange failures on lxdebian and asdfasdf.debian.net for cmor

Hi Alastair,

I'm by no means a bsd expert and you actually might want to redirect your
question to debian-...@l.d.o instead.


I've a strange issue: I've a perfectly ordinary package, cmor, which fails to 
build on s390 and kfreebsd-amd64. In both cases it fails while trying to build 
a test executable, ipcc_test_code, in the test target, but with different 
errors in ld, segfault and abort.

Now, outside the buildds (lxdebian and asdfasdf) the package builds fine on 
s390 and kfreebsd-amd64 (it fails on kfreebsd-i386, also in building 
./ipcc_test_code, but that appears to be different. While I don't understand 
the failure yet, it is at least reproducible).


[...]

Could you maybe, as first measure, try to make the build (or the build of tests
at least) way more verbose? Surely it's not ln -sf that aborts, but that is
about all that can be found in the build logs. I guess it would be nice to see
the full command line that is being executed such that precisely this step can
be investigated in more detail. As the tests (once they run) seem to be very
verbose, this should (a) help to nail down the error and (b) could possibly be
some problem with the terminal!? (The latter is a wild guess as I have no idea
what cmor really does.)

Hope this helps,
Michael


Ok, I've enabled further debugging on these.
Builds on s390 seem to be working fine; its now building on zandonai ; 
all previous failures appear to have been on

lxdebian and i'm assuming issues there (memory, tmpfs, etc.).

I'm down to a build issue on kfreebsd-i386, with an abort (Error 134). 
The FTBFS on kfreebsd-amd64 at the same point
seems to have gone away (it was also an abort, error 134); Perhaps a 
different memory-related error?

With debugging (gcc --verbose) the error looks like:

   ln -sf TestTables Tables
   rm -f ./ipcc_test_code ; gcc --verbose  -lnetcdf -Iinclude -Iinclude/cdTime  
Test/ipcc_test_code.c -L/usr/lib -I/usr/include  -L. -lcmor -lnetcdf

apt-diff: a tool to diff filesystem content against APT

2010-12-07 Thread Tristan Schmelcher
(I'm not subscribed to this list, please CC me on replies.)

I have recently written a tool I call "apt-diff" to compare filesystem
content against APT. It is intended for investigating problems where
packaged files get modified/deleted after installing them from APT
(e.g., by user customization, accidental deletion, etc.). I originally
wrote it after clobbering the packaged ALSA installation on my
computer with "make install" and needing a good way to detect which
packaged files had been modified so that I could restore them. I also
find it useful for figuring out what customizations I have made to my
system after I have forgotten about them.

Conceptually apt-diff is meant to act like "svn diff", "git diff",
etc., except that instead of comparing to a source code repository it
compares to the APT repositories. I've designed it for processing many
files/packages in batch, so diff'ing the entire filesystem is doable.
It's sort of like an APT-aware version of debsums. The code is at
https://github.com/TristanSchmelcher/apt-diff

My hope is for this to become part of the APT stack in Debian and I'm
posting here to see if there is any interest in that from the Debian
developer community. I think it might be helpful for it to be invoked
from reportbug to diagnose/triage issues where files or configurations
have been changed. Plus I think it's just a nice tool to have
available for power users.

how does it deal with configurations generated in postinstall?

Only files shipped by a package (i.e., appear in its .list file) can be
diff'ed, so if a configuration file was generated from scratch in a
postinst then apt-diff can't show a diff for it. But it does keep track
of how many files it has seen that aren't owned by any package, and
there is an option to print the list, so you can use that to see what
generated files are present in a directory tree. But at that point you
sort of have to know what you're looking for.

Sort of analogous to an untracked file in a VCS system.

Isn't debsums already filling that nieche?
