If a vote went through with a majority wanting option A and then a small group veto'd it, you might avoid the small group resigning, but what impact would that have on the majority who've had their views overturned? Short term, perhaps it would avoid resignations but longer term you may find it's those who had their votes veto'd that resign. Regards, Gary signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

The "Nitrokey start" hardware is based on the FST-01 hardware and uses the Gnuk firmware. I've only programmed the Gnuk via the STLink device, never tried the USB firmware upgrade process and there was a recent thread about this not quite working on the Nitrokey start. https://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/gnuk-users/2016q3/thread.html As far as the Gnuk goes, I have my 4096 gpg key on it and use it for both gpg and ssh authentication.

Bug#620993: general: Lenny 2.6.26-2 has noticably increased swap usage, tho not swap thrashing
Package: general Severity: normal Swap usage prior to 2.6.26-2 upgrade was a relatively constant 0 Post 2.6.26-2 upgrade the usage is usually up into 300MB, not actively swapping however and doesn't seem to be affecting performance, but nagios is none to happy about swap being used. The problem seems relegated to a handful of machines, although there may be some usage pattern I'm not seeing but otherwise there is no difference between systems that are "swap happy" and those where swap stays 0, same make/model, same build configuration, packages, client code, etc. Like I mentioned, it doesn't seem to impact performance, but it is certainly a change from the norm. See this on about 8 systems out of a couple hundred, and the same 8 will almost always start using swap slowly over time until a plateu is reached of around 300-500MB, depending on the system. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.8 APT prefers oldstable APT policy: (500, 'oldstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I have, but fixing monitoring to suit edge cases created from a recent upgrade doesn't make the edge cases non-issues. This is still an issue whether you want to hide it under nagios or not, so I'd appreciate a little more assistance in finding the problem beyond "fixing nagios". If you go the doctors for a broken leg he doesn't just tell you "well try not to walk on it". The upgrades to 2.6.26-2 created anomalies, anomalies are bad.

Bug#620993: closed by Ben Hutchings (Re: Bug#620993: general: Lenny 2.6.26-2 has noticably increased swap usage, tho not swap thrashing)
I'm not arguing that, I fully expect the kernel to use it to swap *if needed*. And if this was 20MB of swap, or maybe 100MB, ok, sure, the kernel might be swapping old pages out, but 300MB+ swapping out in 2.6.26-2 where 0MB swapped out in 2.6.26-1, and I can't find anything in the kernel.org or debian kernel changelogs referencing a change along these lines doesn't really scream "working as expected". More annoying that the swap space never decreases unless swapoff/swapon occurs The closest thing I can find was a patch from Mel Gorman, but that doesn't explain how the swap space is getting used in the first place, or more how 2 otherwise identical machines have different amounts used, 0 and in the case I'm debugging ATM 312MB, Same make/model, same debian lenny build, they're clones for all intents and purposes. The only thing on these systems that has changed was 2.6.26-1 to 2.6.26-2, and swap wasn't being used to this extent, or staying used if it was used, prior to 2.6.26-2. Now it almost seems that once its used it doesn't get freed.

Fully agree, but I don't see anything in the changelog where that optimization occurred. So while it sounds great in theory I can't back it with the patches that went into 2.6.26-2 from 2.6.26-1. Although it is what I've been telling the client is the likely case for lack of a better answer and no loss in performance on the system. Anyway I don't think that there's going to be much interest in performance- tuning of Lenny kernels now that Squeeze is released. Unfortunately an upgrade to Squeeze is a bit more involved than the upgrade windows we have available, but I think may be the only option at this point, but that's kind of like fixing a sparkplug that doesn't fire by buying a new car, sure it'll probably do the job in the end, but that doesn't really explain why the sparkplug doesn't fire. But certainly a better reason to close the ticket than the previous one, doesn't make it invalid, just makes it a wontfix. I'd rather it be closed for someone being lazy than someone being dismissive, a good sysadmin is a lazy sysadmin after all. If you want help in tuning Lenny then probably debian-user or your local LUG mailing list would be the best option. Its not a tuning issue, its a change in a vacuum, more a freakish annoyance than anything, it performs fine, we benchmarked before & after and didn't notice any change either way other than these systems that swap, well... swap.

Bug#1039879: ITP: hasl -- Hassle-free Authentication and Security Layer client library
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Gary Kramlich X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, g...@reaperworld.com * Package name: hasl Version : 0.1.0 Upstream Contact: Gary Kramlich * URL : https://keep.imfreedom.org/hasl/hasl/ * License : LGPL Programming Lang: C Description : Hassle-free Authentication and Security Layer client library Hasl is SASL client library that is designed to be easy to use and integrate well with GLib based applications. This package was developed for the still in development Pidgin 3, but due to a licensing conflict in Pidgin 2 with Cyrus-SASL #1036113 we decided to pull this library in early so that we can port Pidgin 2 to it to correct the license conflict. This library is different than both Cyrus-SASL and GNU SASL in a number of ways. Most importantly it is only focused on client implementations. It tries to make it very easy for developers to use by keeping track of which SASL mechanism have been attempted and removing them from the list and other niceties like that. I had a sponsor many years ago (Mathieu Malaterre) when I did the ITP for ninja-build #68. But for this package I've been working with Richard Laager who is the current Debian maintainer for all things related to Pidgin. Also I have the packaging already built and it is Lintian clean.

Seriously don't know why I'm on this list, I run OpenCV and we're just focused on finding other places in Europe for our Russians and Ukrainians to work. People fight (as we see, there and here) and people maximally accuse -- one doesn't just have a different opinion or lack cultural fit, one embodies the spirt of Satan. And... some people are indeed evil. I don't know what the case is here -- but I like and use Debian. Wish you efficiency and success in sorting this out in a minimally contentious way.
