It's not.  This is all completely configurable.  You can have it
apt-get update/upgrade/dist-upgrade at the start of every build.
update is enabled by default (needed to ensure build-deps can
be installed and sources can be fetched), but dist-upgrade is not
(historically out of concern things might break).  Now we are
using snapshotted chroots for all or most buildds, the risk is
far less and if the worst does happen you can just restore an
older snapshot or re-debootstrap, which takes all of 5 minutes.
You could, for example, have the source chroot dist-upgraded
using "sbuild-update -ud" via cron on a daily basis, and
every build also do a dist-upgrade to ensure the build chroot is
always completely up to date.

Before we had snapshotted build chroots, and had to manually
uninstall all build-deps, the chance of a dist-upgrade breaking
a dirty chroot was non-negligable.  But if the source chroot is
a minimal debootstrap which is always kept clean (i.e. the
buildd admin should never customise it in any way), it should
always be safe to upgrade bar any major SNAFU on the part of
a base package maintainer which breaks the base system.

On the sbuild side, we could revisit the default for end users
and buildds and enable dist-upgrade by default for one or both
of these if there's consensus that this is desirable and safe
to do.


Regards,
Roger

Because unfortunately the free software foundation believes documentation

Windows is proprietariest than Debian, but Debian isn't 100% free. Now, think 
about the utility of "contrib" and "nonfree". We must create free replacements 
to proprietary, not put proprietary in Debian.

You are enthusiasm is welcome. Your help in improving free
replacements would also be appreciated.
There are pages for people who would like to start contributing to
Debian, they may be interesting for you:
https://www.debian.org/intro/help
https://wiki.debian.org/how-can-i-help

The more we improve Free Software, the sooner we can remove
non-free(/contrib) parts of Debian.

Stephen,

I had a bit of a difficult time tracking down the fact that the new key
was valid. What would have made this much easier for me would have been
if the fingerprint of the new key had been included in a signed message
sent to debian-devel-announce@. It looks like that's exactly what you
did with a previous ssh-key change back in 2011[2].

An email like that would have been perfect since then, when ssh
presented me with the new fingerprint, I could have simply searched my
email, found your message advising of the key change, and been on my
way. Without this, I did have to do a bit of poking around before
someone pointed me to Holger's message in my personal email archive.

Additionally, I'd like to have the added trust of our system of signed
keys in addition to the SSL CA system (in which I have very little
trust) and DNSSEC (which I don't even know how to use, nor if I should
trust it any more than https:).

I did try to verify the new key by checking the /etc/ssh/ssh_known_keys
file on a machine for which I did have a valid key. But it looks like
that file is stale on at least the machine I checked
(wagner.debian.org). I'm filing a bug for that now.

For the sake of anyone else that might ever search their email for the
new fingerprint, here it is:

moszumanska:~$ ssh-keygen -l -f /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts -F git.debian.org
2048 d7:0b:26:5c:7a:5d:56:40:a9:e0:5d:f4:e1:70:88:bf git.debian.org (RSA)

Thanks for everything,

intend to package it (at least for now).
I will maintain it on colab-maint using a git based workflow.

I'm not DD, but a DM, so i need an sponsored first upload.

Additionally I would like to say that Debian is a software
distribution, not a project for creating new software. So it seems like
a little bit out of scope to write new software.
So like Balint says when there are good replacements, they will be
happily included.

I want to note at this point that the FSF isn't the ultimate resource
for deciding what Free Software is and what not.
There are many (well, at least me) people who don't agree with the
explanation why Debian isn't free software.
You could even argue that it wouldn't be free NOT to include non-free
software into the Debian archives. Because (so one could argue) it would
take away your freedom (which is all the FSF is reasoning about) to
install non-free software through apt-get.

Bug#740400: ITP: libvterm -- abstract library implementation of a VT220/xterm/ECMA-48 terminal emulator

2014-02-28 Thread James McCoy
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: James McCoy 

* Package name: libvterm
  Version : 0~20140228

  Description : abstract library implementation of a VT220/xterm/ECMA-48 
terminal emulator

An abstract C99 library which implements a VT220 or xterm-like terminal
emulator. It doesn't use any particular graphics toolkit or output
system, instead it invokes callback function pointers that its embedding
program should provide it to draw on its behalf. It avoids calling
malloc() during normal running state, allowing it to be used in embedded
kernel situations.

Are there any reasons to use this over ttyrec or termrec?  It seems to me
asciinema is strictly worse than:
ttyrec tmpfile && POST http://asciinema's_url

* you can't do things locally
* there's only a recorder, without a player (you need to use a web service
  to replay)
* it's slow: takes around 2 seconds at the start and end
* can't be used from scripts (to eg, record everything)
* can't be used to pipe the output, etc (for termcast)
* can't edit the recording

Is it the same protocol? Nice of asciinema to support it.

That's a plus for me. I almost never want to watch this stuff locally,
and I'm recording for others.

Meh.

I've been using it from inside a virtualenv. I might as well have a
system-wide copy that I'm sure is pseudo-trusted and DFSG free.

Wait a moment ...  Are you trying to say that users don't need flashplayer?
I tend to differ - unfortunately too many websites still need it, and gnash is
not exactly a replacement (unless you mean being few times as slow as
flashplayer is acceptable...  even when performance of flashplayer itself
is bad at best) [this is slightly better now with html5 slowly taking over
places where flashplayer was used previously]

Documentation from FSF is another thing. Some hardware also needs
proprietary firmware and drivers - surely you are not going to say that users
don't want their GPU to be able to render 3D?? or that they don't need wifi
connections ??? And you are not going to say that users don't want steam,
are you?

Also being ABLE to install nonfree software doesn't mean that Debian
itself is proprietary software... (also most (if not all) of distros marked as
free by FSF are breaking DFSG guidelines so they are proprietary too)



And I had to bite the catch and feed tusseladd ... ;(
