Package: menu
Version: 2.1.5-3
Severity: wishlist

I noticed that menu generates files in /etc automatically, e.g.

/etc/X11/fvwm/menudefs.hook

/etc should be for configuration files only, not automatically generated files.

The discussion in debian-devel suggests /var/lib/menu as a good place. Though 
it might make sense to make a symlink to /etc for compatibility reasons.

For the discussion and some background information see my post and the thread 
on debian-devel

http://www.debian.de/Lists-Archives/debian-devel-0004/msg01305.html

Thanks.

rainer.

Hi,

#498590 was the cause for this bug, #64071, and #498590 was closed in 
September 2009, rather at the beginning of the squeeze release cycle. So I'm 
closing this bug now, as probably all packages exposing this bug have been 
rebuild using a newer menu version since then. Also, there is a discussion in 
#699390 to drop menu from the desktop-task...

Lintian maintainers, I recommend you close #498591 with wontfix as well.


cheers,
Holger

Re: Valve games for Debian Developers

Hey, this looks more like an anti-Valve trap for DDs aimed to slow down
development of Debian as base of Steam OS by steering their time spending
from developing Debian to playing Valve games. ... OK, I was joking, or at
least _mostly_ joking. ;-)

We made this mistake with frozen-bubble once, I am sure everybody has
learnt from history...

The choice of default init system will be decided by a best three out of
five set of Dota 2.  Better get practicing!  :)

You're forgetting tetrinet.

This end should point toward the ground if you want to go to space.

If it starts pointing toward space you are having a bad problem and you
will not go to space today.

RFC: Changing default source tarball ignores

[Guillem Jover]

Hi!

In #735377, Peter Green makes a good case of why ignoring (at least)
object files is not a good default for source packages, mentioning:

 * inconsitency between 1.0 and >= 2.0 formats, creating surprise.
 * if they need to be shipped, they are silently ignored, which makes
   their absence non-obvious.
 * if not, these should really be taken care of by the clean target.

As mentioned on the bug report, I've to agree with that, and in
addition I see, at least these other problems:

 * the current list of object patterns is very incomplete anyway.
 * removing just one of the patterns, makes keeping up with the
   default list very annoying.

I've not been particularly happy with the regex and pattern ignore
option behaviours either. First I'm going to try to improve these,
by adding something like «--tar-(un)ignore-type=vcs,backup» or
similar, a way to unignore specific wildcards with something like
«--tar-unignore=*.git», and probably a way to completely reset the
ignores for 1.17.7.

But, if people do not have strong reasons against, I'd like to remove
the following object related wildcards from the default tar-ignore set
as well:

  *.a
  *.la
  *.o
  *.so
  *.deps

but obviously that might cause regressions if packages do not properly
cleanup the source tree. This could affect tarballs for 3.0 (native)
sources, or the debian/ packaging tarballs for 3.0 (quilt) sources.
In principle, I'd not expect much breakage, but it would be nice to
know beforehand, ideally by an archive-wide rebuild. I supposed it
would be enough to build every binary package, clean the source, and
then build the source packages, and compare any file list differences.
Would any one volunteer? Peter? At least to do the build, I can easily
provide modified dpkg packages, and the recipes for the check, I guess.

Thanks,
Guillem

+1 for tetrinet. If Debian decisions should be based on the outcome of 
games, it should really be a free software game ;)
