basic income for debian developers
Hi, since Steffen Moeller started a thread about paying Debian Developers, I got the idea to ask the Debian community about it's opinion about "Guaranteed minimum income"[1]. I've heard about the concept some weeks ago in a talk by Götz Werner[2] and imediatly felt in love with the idea. I'll give a lightning talk about it in two weeks at Google Zürich's Open Source Jam and intend to propose a talk about it at next years FOSDEM[3]. The connection between Free Software and basic income are obvious IMHO: It's hard to earn money with things you give away for free. Basic income gives you the freedom to work on things you like without the need to earn your income from this work. If this topic is not appropriate for this list, I beg your paddon. Nevertheless I'd be glad to hear more opinions on this topic.

default character encoding for everything in debian
Hi, I've an issue, that I forgot to set the character encoding of tomcat to utf-8 after reinstalling a server. Now, before I report a wishlist(?) bug to tomcat, I want to ask (and invite to discuss) shouldn't utf8 be the default character set everywhere? So when installing a package from Debian I can assume that where a character encoding can be set, it't set to utf8. MySQL would be another example, which to my knowledge uses isoXYZ as default character encoding.

Re: default character encoding for everything in debian
It's impressing how quickly threads on this list grow big. :-) I'm not sure, whether a conclusion is already reached. 1. apt-get install mysql 2. enter mysql client 3. create database test; create table test( test char(10) ); Replace mysql with whatever application you like. What should be the encoding of database and table test in cases like the above? Currently it's iso-something, discriminating everybody from other countries. If it would be utf-8 instead, it would have at least two advantages - The clueless user would get a sane default - utf-8 isn't as discriminating as iso-8859-1 Best regards, Thomas Koch > Hi, > > I've an issue, that I forgot to set the character encoding of tomcat to > utf-8 after reinstalling a server. > Now, before I report a wishlist(?) bug to tomcat, I want to ask (and invite > to discuss) shouldn't utf8 be the default character set everywhere?

Registry for cache directories (to save backup space)
Hi, while watching rsnapshot doing a backup of my laptop, I thought: Wouldn't it be fine, to have a registry of cache directories that shouldn't be backed up? While you can exclude /var/cache, there are still many GB of data in ~/.mozilla/firefox/.../Cache ~/.strigi ~/.thumbnails ~/.cddb ~/.cache (Who is that?) ~/.googleearth So a debian package could register all the places, where it puts caches and a system administrator could use this registry to speed up backups and save bandwidth and storage.

Can quilt delete files?
Hi, I'm triing to package a little java library, which contains its own .jar and some pregenerated docs. These files should be regenerated on build time. So I'd like to have them removed by diff.gz Trying to generate an appropriate quilt patch failed. The only thing I came up with, was a patch that contains the whole content of the removed files with - before every line. Anybody more clever then me? I know that dpatch allows the execution of shell scripts. This would be ideal. I'd just do find . -name "*.jar" -exec rm {} \; But also a patch which contains just the names of the files to be removed and not the whole content would suffice.

As long as the jar file is the one created by the sourcecode in the tarball, I don't see a reason, that it needs to be removed and thus the upstream tarball repackaged. If the upstream tarball contains dependency jars (as mostly) then we need to repackage. Putting the deletion in the clean target could be an option, but I really hate to modify my source tree that much while packaging. So no way to do it with quilt?

elegant(?) debian topgit workflow?
CC (FYI) to git and debian-devel. see http://vcs-pkg.org Hi, would you be so kind to review my workflow proposal? branches upstream debian/*, fixes/*, features/* - topgit branches based on upstream patches - the hero master - contains the debian/ dir and is the branch we build from All topgit branches are integrated in the patches branch, which is afterwards merged into master. The magic is, that the integration is not a regular merge, but a handcrafted merge and commit with quilt and git plumbing. workflow Every merge starts with reseting "patches" to the state of upstream: #> git checkout upstream (for the first time: git checkout -b patches, otherwise:) #> git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/patches Now we're on branch patches with the working tree and index in the pristine state of upstream. We can now integrate the topgit branches: #> tg export --quilt debian/patches \ -b debian/use-debian-java-libraries,debian/disable-tests-that-break-on-buildd #> quilt push -a #> git add debian/ #> rm -rf .pc #> git add -u Now let's create the commit and specify, which topgit branches were manually merged: #> TREE=$(git write-tree) #> COMMIT=$(git commit-tree $TREE \ -p debian/use-debian-java-libraries \ -p debian/disable-tests-that-break-on-buildd) #> git update-ref refs/heads/patches $COMMIT Now I can happily merge patches into master. advantages -- - The commits of all ever merged topgit branches are preserved, even after tg delete - easy to understand, non cluttered history - Easy to retire topgit branches - Easy to work on old package versions(?): just make a branch from master at desired version, eventually also branch patches branch to work on old patches - The quilt patches are used and therefore tested in the same way, as dpkg- source uses them in version 3 - Integrates with git-buildpackage - Doesn't need anything, that topgit hasn't ATM Todo discuss, test, script Best regards, Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hadoop is now in Debian: http://packages.qa.debian.org/h/hadoop.html Hadoop is an Open Source implementation of Google's File System, MapReduce and BigTable (HBase, not yet packaged). The idea behind Google's infrastructure and therefor Hadoop is: Have many cheap comodity servers that together form a powerful cluster. Each node of the cluster is redundant and can be replaced without downtime. I believe, but can't know for sure, that everything what FTP-Master does, could be implemented on top of hadoop. However it means for sure a lot of work and many hardcore sysadmins will feel very uncomfortable to use Java, the language Hadoop is written in. I'm planning to give a presentation of hadoop at the DebConf in Bosnia and maybe then we may discuss, if hadoop should have a place in Debian's infrastructure. - For now I'm happy, if somebody became curious. :-) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadoop Best regards, Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

TLP package vs. pm-utils
Hi all, i'm the author of the TLP power management tool [1]. With the help of my sponsor Andreas Tille i prepared a Debian package [2] for TLP 0.6. Older TLP packages – available via my PPA, not in Debian – depend on pm-utils (pm-suspend) for being called upon suspend/resume events. The necessity to depend on (and coexist with) pm-utils is imho gone with Debian's move to systemd. Looking into the current pm-utils package in Debian testing i noticed that it is kind of inert: nor is pm-powersave called by upowerd – changed in upower 0.99.1-1, see [3] –, neither is pm-suspend called by systemd's sleep.target. My conclusion would be to add > conflicts: pm-utils to my package – associated with the additional advantage that there is no need to mask pm-utils' power.d/hooks via postinst/postrm anymore [4]. Questions: - Am i missing something here? - Is my conclusion correct? Thanks in advance for your advice.

As it's still useful on > non-systemd systems, I don't see a technical reason for the conflict. OK, agreed. The initial goal was to mask the the pm-powersave hooks that apply the same powersave settings as TLP because it may lead to funny races if two tools are at work. Historically this is needed in Ubuntu and Debian < Jessie to coexist with the mandatory pm-utils. So i still mask them in the current package just in case someone else calls pm-powersave. A "conflicts" would have spared me the somewhat ugly postinst/postrm code. I now modified the package to install tlp's pm-suspend hook, so it works fine even in a sysvinit-core setup. > and the kernel or another component does a good enough power management > by itself. I don't see any breaking news on the kernel front. Drivers get considerably better in terms of powersave, but runtime pm and sata alpm for example are still off by default. In the current state of Jessie there is no power saving in the base desktop/laptop install. This would be a regression to Wheezy. Works as intended?

Re: TLP package vs. pm-utils
Hi Gregor, > That would make me sad, as I'm using both. Maybe this changes after I > switch to systemd but right now I need both. Granted. I can't stand saddening my users. After some more testing i found a way to fully support non-systemd setups: TLP's pm-suspend hook is installed again. Can you explain how you use pm-utils: - How do you call it upon change of the power source (ac <-> bat)? - Do you have custom hooks? > Is there a real reason for the Conflicts, even for cases where > systemd is installed?

Hi Vincent, > Isn't the pm-powersave stuff still working due to being invoked by acpid? Thanks for your hint. I experimented a bit and found that acpid + acpi-support call pm-suspend.

You might have increase the possibility of a positive outcome if you find and propose a solution that can be reused for all kinds of unofficial debian repositories: https://wiki.debian.org/UnofficialRepositories The list is missing the repositories for Obnam by Lars Wirzenius and the mozilla.debian.net repository for newer versions of Iceweasel. It would be wonderful if there'd be a web service run by debian that provides a list of known unofficial repositories along with their signing keys. Then users could choose additional repositories and also choose if they want to trust the signing keys and the good intentions and knowledge of the persons running the unofficial repositories.

free assimilation (git-svn migration) service offer
Hi, I've now converted a few SVN repos to Git for other Debian people. Since this is a one time task, it does not make much sense that everybody needs to learn how to do it. Therefor if anybody would like to have his old, inferior SVN repo assimilated and to join the collective, please open a bug on your package and assign it to me or just answer me. Make sure to sign the mail/bug so that I don't act without the consent of the maintainer. Even PHP switched to Git by now... :-) Regards, Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

The D programming language

vision: easily move all my data and config to a new machine
I've read a scrum book and have learned about the importance of visions. Visions like: "to put a man on the moon and return him safely by the end of the decade" I'm currently switching my laptop (again) and I have the following vision: The Debian system should provide tools to make it possible to switch over from one machine to another in a matter of minutes without leaving any data, configuration or customization of the old machine behind. I've started by building debian packages with equivs that have dependencies to all packages that I've installed by hand on my old machine.[1] This is not comfortable. I started thinking about a tagging system that allows users to attach some information to each debian package: why did I install it? What is it category for me: debian-development, fun, scientific-paper-writing, children-education, ... On another machine I could then install packages based on such tags. I move as much data as possible into the custody of git-annex. I manage my dot files with vcsh. Now I'd like to know which files in /etc are still in their default state and which were modified by me, including a diff against the default. Is there some possibility to get this information? I have etckeeper installed but I don't see how it could give me this information. What other things are there that I'd want to move to the new machine? For example /var/spool/cron. I think I'll write a cronjob to do a daily listing of the packages that I've installed on my machine by hand[1] and that are not yet covered by an equivs package. [1] aptitude search "?not(?essential) ?installed ?not(?reverse- depends(?installed)) ?not(?reverse-predepends(?installed)) ?not(?reverse- recommends(thkoch-.*)) ?not(?reverse-suggests(thkoch-.*)) ?not(?priority(important)) ?not(?priority(required)) ?not(?priority(standard))" Maybe we should talk about this topic at the debconf in Switzerland?

Re: vision: easily move all my data and config to a new machine
Nice to see the first replies coming in. I see that I should have clarified: - I'm thinking about a scenario where I still switch between machines. So a one time copy of the full hard disc will not do it. - The two machines might be different: a desktop at home, a laptop and a small netbook. I still want to have my data synced and a similar work environment on all machines. But it does not make sense to install exactly the same packages on all machines.

petitioning Crockford to change his license

But they also have a lot of dependencies to C libraries. These are currently still committed to their SVN as .so files. I'm totally clueless about C. Is there any best practice for an upstream how to document your dependencies, their versions, license and download location in a central place, maybe even machine parsable? And what could upstream do to not rely on the .so files committed to their repos? Provide a list of aptitude install *-dev commands required for a developer?

script to link annoying $HOME dirs/files to /tmp?
Hi, Is there anything like the following? A script that I can run on login and that creates folders/empty files in (tmpfs mounted) /tmp and creates symlinks from $HOME/... to /tmp. This is done so that data I don't care about is automatically cleaned on logout. Candidates for this would be: .cache/ .gnash/ .thumbnails/ .dbus/ .subversion/ (only created by git svn) .kde/{cache|socket|tmp}-$(hostname) .mozilla/firefox/*.default/Cache or files: .htoprc .lesshst .histfile .pulse-cookie Even better would be the possibility to have a hook that can create the necessary symlinks and empty dirs/files when those are first accessed. How would I do that? I feel like mass bug filling against packages that pollute my $HOME and don't use $HOME/.c{ache|onfig} ... :-) Is there a more appropriate list for this question?

Binary blobs in source packages
Hi, I just made a fool of myself on the simple-build-tool list by claiming that Debian would build scala without scala. I only checked debian/rules and debian/control and since scala is in main, I assumed that I must be right. However scala comes with a bytecode-compiled scala compiler in lib/ which is required only during build but not installed in the binary packages. I already opened reportbug to fill a serious Debian Policy violation, but actually I couldn't find anything in the policy about it. So is it ok to ship binaries in the source package that are only required during build? Can I do the same with simple-build-tool, which requires itself to build?

Things we wish upstream would know
Hi, some time ago I started to collect hints for upstream developers on a wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/Java/UpstreamHints The page is intended for the audience of upstream developers who care that their software be included in a distribution and would be willing to do their part to make this happen. A Debian maintainer can point upstream to individual sections of the page instead of reiterating the rationale for a specific wish. The page first only contained java specific topics but could grow to include language independent or other language specific topics with your help. In that case the page should be moved out of the java/ namespace. I'm not a native english speaker. Any help to make this page more polite and inviting would be welcome.

Let dak commit all source packages to Git
Hi Michael, Zack, et al, thank you Michael for codesearch. Since somebody asked about code browsing and Zack is interested in some source.debian.org I wanted to mention my dream: For every debian source package that enters the archive, dak should commit the source code to a public readable Git repository and put a signed tag on it. Then: - One can just put a git repo browser in front of all git repos and have browsable source code of Debian. - One can just issue git clone --branch=$VERSION git://git.XYZ.debian.org/$SOURCEPACKAGE and get the versioned source code of any Debian package even of those whose maintainers do not yet understand the beauty and superiority of Git. :-) Would something like that help your project?

( Bikeshedding alert! http://bikeshed.com ) First stage, freeze only essential+important, low level packages Second stage, freeze all libraries with more then one dependency Third stage, freeze all non-leaf packages Fourth stage, freeze everything Do you think that it's a good idea to have the freeze for libc at the same time as the freeze for sl (steaming locomotive) or iceweasel or extremetuxracer?

DEP3 Last-Update field without time?
Hi, I'm working on python code to parse/generate a dep3[1] conforming patch header[2]. Dep3 specifies the last-update field to not contain the time: "This field can be used to record the date when the meta-information was last updated. It should use the ISO date format -MM-DD." I assume "ISO date format" refers to ISO 8601[3]. Is there any particular reasond why the field should not include the time of the last update? I think all relevant programming languages can parse and produce Datetime strings like "2007-06-20T12:34:40+03:00". It would avoid a few lines of code and a bit of inaccuracy if we could agree that the last-update field may also include seconds resolution.

Let's start to collect examples of package which we might should rather not be native. This might make the discussion easier. - maven-repo-helper, maven-debian-helper both packages contain a lot of logic that would also be usefull for other distributions, e.g. fedora.

upstream advise page about circular dependencies (bootstrapping)
Hi, it's the third time now that I'd like to write a mail to an upstream project and kindly ask them not to depend on themselves to build. It would be helpful to have a page like the UpstreamGuide[1] that shortly explains why it is undesirable for distributions or in general if a software needs itself to build. The DebianBootstrap page[2] in the wiki is not short and general enough for this purpose.

Gerrit, Git requirements, cooperation with others. was: git dangerous operations on alioth
Hi Daniel et al, I'm also thinking a lot about how to improve Debian by improving our Git tooling. Therefor I'm packaging Gerrit (#589436). But gerrit and its dependencies is a big project... Now that Git slowly becomes the de facto standard VCS for Debian[1] (resistance is futile) it might be time to review our setup and think whether we could improve our Git infrastructure. Should we start a wiki page to collect thoughts? [1] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/blog/?p=751 My thoughts are: - I'd like to have support for reviews (e.g Gerrit) - pull requests (e.g Gerrit) - I'd like continuous integration (triggered e.g. by Gerrit[2]) - Easy for anybody to submit patches (e.g Gerrit) - A frontpage that doesn't take ages to load - Easier project creation without the need to SSH into alioth - regular fetching of the upstream branch from upstreams master [2] http://openstack-ci.github.com/publications/ I was also thinking whether Debian should cooperate with other projects so that the workload of maintaining such a setup could be shared.

I've already spent many days (weeks?) of unpaid work to get gerrit into Debian. It's a bitch to package, has an imense list of dependencies and I even have to improve the Debian Java packaging infrastructure to get it built. It feels like cheating to me, if others take shortcuts like this. Why should I do this hard work anymore? It would also be much easier for me to just provide a downloader for the war file provided by upstream. Apropos: The company developing jdownloader is searching for a Java developer in Fürth near Nürnberg (Germany). Somebody could help them to get a sane build system set up.

Generators for debian/* files?
Hi, debian-java has the tool "mh_make" that generates debian packages from maven projects. There's some java code in there that produces debian/* files: rules, copyright, watch, control, orig-tar.sh, doc-base.api, doc.install and of course source/format and compat. This java code should be replaces with something in perl/python/non-JVM. Is there already some logic/templates in Debian that I could build on?

Wookeys response (circular build-dependency) is not the reason here. We have two packages, maven-repo-helper with minimal dependency set which is a build dependency for many java packages and maven-debian-helper with a longer dependency list which is only used to create the files in debian/*. mh_make does not have automatic testing yet and is much work to test manually. This is mostly caused by the unnecessary dependency on maven to do something as trivial as filling templates for the debian/* files with appropriate values.

Re: git as a source package format?
On Wednesday, May 01, 2013 09:28:10 PM Daniel Pocock wrote: > Would there be any hard objection to a source package format based on > git-bundle? Hi Daniel, while I'm a big fan of Git, I don't see that much gain in a git based source package format. I also assume that it would be a lot of work to change the Debian infrastructure in that way. But I see a lot of benefit in the following smaller steps towards more usage of git: - Standardize our workflow, see this discussion: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/04/msg00183.html In particular: - If upstream uses Git, keep the upstream history as a branch in the Git packaging repo. - Standardize the management of patches. - Let dak commit all uploaded versions of packages to Git, see: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/11/msg00138.html - Introduce an alternative to ftp uploads based on signed git tags: Maintainers can push a signed git tag to alioth and the Debian infrastructure will start to build the package. I have not yet thought that much about this point and it doesn't seem too important to me. But it would be a nice addition. - The last point requires the following wishlist issue to be fixed in pristine- tar: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=699378 - Convince more maintainers to use Git (instead of SVN): http://upsilon.cc/~zack/stuff/vcs-usage/ Best regards, Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
