One major problem are incompatible >> versions of the boot loader installed in the MBR and grub.cfg. not strictly a grub2 issue, but os-prober creates unbootable menu's when you have dual boot systems with same /boot. Even during a new installation if the system already have another GNU/Linux it will create unbootable entries for that. See #580736 Earlier with grub I remember these are correctly configured. Plus without a single configuration file, it is much more difficult to get it to work as you like. Praveen -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് I know my rights; I want my phone call!

Any help in fixing those welcome. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=638825 redis tests need em-synchrony, which needs newer em-http-request and which needs mongrel (not sure where it needs, it tries to load mongrel during tests) and http-parser.rb (packaging http-parser separately - needs some help handling it) Thanks Praveen -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് You have to keep reminding your government that you don't get your rights from them; you give them permission to rule, only so long as they follow the rules: laws and constitution. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

7.0-> 7.1: any reasons for switching from {4,5,6}.0.x scheme?
Hi, Many were curious on diaspora about the change[1]. There is no rationale given in release news[2] about this change. Was there some major change in this release or did we change the version scheme? Any pointers would be welcome.

Re: Bug#700630: ITP: gitorious -- Git based tool for collaborating on distributed open source projects
[adding debian-ruby list] 2013/2/18 Mike Gabriel : > No, no idea about gitlab. The packaging of gitorious will be my first > package under the ruby team's umbrella, so I am pretty new to that team. > > Maybe someone else has a clue... Thanks Mike for taking this up. It was in my wishlist too once I get diaspora packaged. You can see the status of diaspora and gitlab packaging efforts at http://people.debian.org/~boutil/ The graphs are generated using scripts written by Cedric https://gitorious.org/debian-diaspora/gemdeps You may start with generating a dependency graph for gitorious. Some of the dependencies might already be packaged for diaspora or gitlab. Looking forward to working with you.
