Re: Software Verlag/"Debian GNU/Linux"

2006-11-29 Thread Jens Seidel
Hi,

this is a help request from a IT publisher who wants to release a
special edition related to "Debian GNU/Linux". The journal
"hakin9-Abwehrmethoden" covers IT-Security.

Anna asks for help to create articles for this issue which I redirect
to debian-publicity.

Hallo Anna,

die meisten der angeschriebenen Mailinglisten sind englischsprachig, so
dass ich es deswegen nochmal kurz Englisch erklärt habe.

Bitte wende dich doch an die Liste debian-publicity
(see http://lists.debian.org/debian-publicity/2006/11/). Ich weiß nicht
wie viele Personen diese Liste lesen, ein gleichzeitiges Schreiben auf
viele Listen ist aber keine gute Idee.

Welche Hilfe wird denn genau benötigt? Rat und Hilfe oder fertige
Artikel?

Bitte antworte nur an debian-publicity, Danke.

Jens

I sorted this list manually for debiandoc-sgml-doc and noticed that only
a pdf.gz document differs in size. This is probably related to the fact
that the PDF contains the build date and the compression ratio differs (20kB).

Something simple as sort with option --key=POS1[,POS2] applied to the
package list should do what you want ...

You can use the jigdo files such as debian-40r2-i386-DVD-1.jigdo from
http://www.debian.co.il/debian-cd/4.0_r2/i386/jigdo-dvd/ or
http://ftp.pwr.wroc.pl/debian-iso/4.0_r1/i386/jigdo-dvd/debian-40r1-i386-DVD-1.jigdo
to extract this information. jigdo files are just gzipped text files.

At least for the 4.0 release you should be able to find jigdo files ...
I think I can send you also some older releases such as Woody in a
private mail. Have to dig ...

Please see the thread
http://lists.debian.org/debian-l10n-german/2008/05/msg00028.html for how
to help translating. There are many subprojects listed such as
 * DDP (especially the Debian FAQ)
 * DDTP (package descriptions)
 * Website
 * Programs
 * Debconf templates (only a few are still untranslated)

I suggest you help Benjamin updating the FAQ. I explained similar stuff
also in the thread
http://lists.debian.org/debian-l10n-german/2008/05/msg00055.html

Re: libsmpeg-dev: aclocal warning fix

this bug #310636 was filed 1.5 years ago and is outputs a warning once aclocal 
is
called (not only for libsmpeg-dev!). Since the patch is really trivial
I think it would be a good idea to upload it.

Any volunteers for a NMU?

It still mentions
"Installations in Russian (and possibly some other languages) may fail
 due to an error from aptitude; most languages seem unaffected."
If this is related to #473559 consider either removing this note
or add Japanese.

Mhm, strange. This page contains:
"Or install the current weekly snapshot of Debian testing which uses the
 same version of the installer as the last release:"

The last release was Debian Etch so I assumed that weekly snapshots
contain an older (but more stable?) version of the installer. But it seems
that "release" refers to an Installer and not a Debian release? (Even if
this is clarified I'm not sure that everyone considers beta2 as a
release but maybe only as a release snapshot or a test version (because
of "beta")). Please clarify this! I tried to address this recently in
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2008/09/msg00692.html
but it seems I failed.

Re: dists/etch/Release.gpg missing from DVD images

Yes, I think so. You need the APT option
  APT::Authentication::TrustCDROM "true";
Debian Installer adds this since Sarge in
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00trustcdrom IIRC.

Nevertheless there is no way I know to have this working also
with CD/DVD image files instead of using CD/DVDs registered with
apt-cdrom. And I also noticed during my last upgrade that unsigned
packages provided via loopback devices are ignored if another APT source
with signed packages (even from a very slow network mirror) are
available.

Why? Is some kind of i18n process missing or are translations just
outdated? Feel free to ask on debian-i18n for updates.

Does this mean http://cvs.debian.org/packages/?root=webwml is obsolete
or do you want to merge it?

You could fetch Translation-ja.bz2 files and create a diff against the previous
file. Since the entries are sorted the diff will be readable. You should
have no problem creating a small cron job.

This should be possible. I think Martijn did it for other teams.

Don't know. Test it and update the docs at
http://www.debian.org/international/l10n/ddtp once you know it.
