Bug#506952: ITP: rifiuti2 -- A MS Windows recycle bin analysis tool
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Anthony Wong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Package name: rifiuti2 Version : 0.5.1 Upstream Author : Abel Cheung * URL : http://code.google.com/p/rifiuti2 * License : BSD Programming Lang: C Description : A MS Windows recycle bin analysis tool Rifiuti2 is a rewrite of rifiuti, a great tool from Foundstone folks for analyzing Windows Recycle Bin INFO2 file. Analysis of Windows Recycle Bin is usually carried out during Windows computer forensics. Rifiuti2 can extract file deletion time, original path and size of deleted files and whether the deleted files have been moved out from the recycle bin since they are trashed. Rifiuti2 supports the INFO2 file format found in Windows up to Window XP and the new file format found in Vista, and the program is fully internationalized. I'm one of the upstream developers of rifiuti2 (not the main author) and I'm responsible for the maintenance of its debian package. Rifiuti2 has all the functionalities of the existing rifiuti package, thus obsoleting it. There are two programs in this package, rifiuti and rifiuti-vista. As the first program name conflicts with the one in the rifiuti package, rifiuti and rifiuti2 can't co-exist. But if rifiuti2 is going to be included into Debian, rifiuti can be removed from our ftp. Thanks Christophe for your work on rifiuti package! If I noticed the rifiuti's ITP earlier, we could avoid the duplication of work. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (99, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: how rpm does it (Re: Dpkg Update Proposal)

Because you already have the Debian way in your mind when you were using rpm. I remembered that I looked very hard to find out how to upgrade a .deb in Debian by dpkg when I first switched from Redhat to Debian, but of course I found nothing because 'dpkg -i' handles both :) |I forget how rpm allows removing of one version of a package while leaving |another version of it installed. IIRC you need to specify the version number as well. |Back end: | |I don't know much about this. I can intuit some things. | |Rpm can keep track of multiple versions of the same package that are all |installed. Presumably, this means its package database indexes the installed |packages by both package name and version, instead of just by package name |as dpkg does. | |What happens if you try to install version bar of a package while version |foo of that same package, which contains files of the same name, is |installed? Rpm will happily overwrite version foo's files. | |What happens if you then remove version foo? I'm not sure, it's been a while |;-). I can say that rpm doesn't deal with this very well. It either has to |leave version bar's files around, or delete them, either action leaves the |installed version foo in an inconsitent state. Does rpm really do this? That's very silly... |User interface: | |If we wanted to make dpkg have this capability, we could add a new command |line flag, say "--keep-old-version" that makes "dpkg --keep-old-version -i" |behave like rpm -i does. | |We would have to come up with some method to allow dpkg to remove one |version of a package while leaving another version of that package installed. I suggest that a version number must be given in this case, otherwise dpkg will just exit, saying that there are multiple versions of the same packages installed. BTW, anyone has the feeling that the Debian package management system is slower than RPM? Is it because the part in manipulating the package information databsse is not doing as good as RPM does? -- Rgds, [ E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / ICQ UIN: C30E6 ] Anthony.

I hate to see so many localized versions of the same program floating around. Users will find it confusing. The ftp server will carry fewer packages too (1 internationalized version instead of several localized ones). -- Regards, [ E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / ICQ UIN: C30E6 ] Anthony.

Is it specific to Chinese, or can it do other truetype |stuff ? E.g. Russian ? Yes, ttfprint is specific to Chinese because it only processes Chinese characters in the original text file but not English and other languages. But I think the ttf2ps engine is not limited to Chinese truetype fonts. -- Cheers, Anthony Wong.
