If you are looking for a tiny tool to handle xml within C programs I suggest that you take a look at flexml. It is based on flex. Unfortunately it works with the old-flex. I had not the time to help patching it so that is works with flex. I am sure that the upstream author will accept to recieve patches.

Don't get me wrong, I also find it useful, but mostly from > the administrator perspective, I've not really used it as > a developer. The main points about snapshot.d.n have already been repported. To me it's like a classical library that is to say a "collection of records kept for reference or borrowing" (quoting from WordNet). It helps to keep track of any change within the archive, and sometimes it stores record that are not available anywhere because the source packages are not maintained anymore and disapear from the web. When you are interested in QA, it's important to be able to identify why a bug appear, in which condition, etc. Now, let me speak about PTS and ddpo. As a maintainer, these tools helps you to keep an eye on your packages and your activities. DDPO : On the same page, you have a lot of information about your maintainer activities. Are there RC bugs ? How may bugs ? Is this package co-maintained ? Did I had a NMU ? PTS : Why my package does not enter into testing, How many bugs, many links to the life of a package. and I would like to add that thanks to Björn Stenberg, we have a useful script to understand the evolution of a package. The PTS have also very powerfull email option that can email you any change or bug repported on a package, especialy interesting when you are co-maintaining a package. About the PTS, note that this is on of only tool, with lintian that recalls you that the Standard-Version changed, and that it could be interesting to check what changed in Standard-Versions since the package lastest upload. Finaly on point, that is important to me: it advertises maintainers of important packages that co-maintaining a package could be a nice thing.

Why not having multiple languages per user? I mean for example:
1) French 2) German 3) English
That means first displays me info in French, if the translation is
missing, then use German, finaly if neither French and German are
available displays English

From the policy :
Examples of packages which would be included in contrib or
non-US/contrib are:
* free packages which require contrib, non-free packages or packages
which are not in our archive at all for compilation or execution, and
* wrapper packages or other sorts of free accessories for non-free
programs.
In other words you do not agree with the Debian policy. It's quite
amazing since according to :
http://nm.debian.org/nmstatus.php?email=yeupou%40gnu.org
You passed the Philosophy and Procedure.

This is the aim of contrib. In that case do not add contrib in your
sources.lists and apt-get install vrms !

I can not remember precisely. I think that at that time I was testing the debian-installer and I saw it was taken a long while to boot. I saw that my system had no FQDN (hostname -f). When you add .localdomain, the FQDN is complete and it helps to solve timeout in several application. Anyway I do not understand why this issue is a problem since we simply add an alias to localhost. Nobody say that we will remove localhost and exchange it by localhost.localdomain.

The fact is that nobody complained about that... and my bug was repported more than one year and a half ago. Plus It was disscussed on debian-devel. Please do not argue with me! I do not pretend that I know anything in name resolution, however I proposed something that worked on my system. It was widely discussed.

Bug#223819: RFA: murasaki -- another HotPlug Agent
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2003-12-12
Severity: normal
In last august I adopted murasaki. Despite many emails I've sent to the
upstream author I never received any news from him.
Last week a RC bug was filled on this package (#223197). A good solution
to close this bug is probably to upload a newer version, but the lastest
developpment version dosen't meet requirements to be include in
Debian[1].
Since I have neither interest nor ressource to handle this package, I
request for an adopter.
I don't believe that this package is much use. People are generaly using
the hotplug package. So if nobody is willing to adopt this package after
a week, I will ask for its removal from Debian.
