... the binary package doesn't contain a binary. (As far as _I_
can see ...)
I've included the diff to the original source. If this diff
is applied to the original, a `./debian.rules binary' produces
the real binary.

Re: State of gcc 2.95 use in Debian unstable
Dear Thiemo, we very much appreciate your work on the gcc-2.95 debian package. For us - and probably also for other users in the scientific community - the "old" compiler version is still of great value. We use gcc-2.95 to compile C/C++ code with very large mathematical expressions generated by computer algebra software. This involves very long (several thousand lines of code) functions to evaluate multi-variable polynomial expression resulting from perturbation theoretical solutions of physical problems. We found that gcc-2.95 -Os produces object code of acceptable quality within reasonable compilation times. gcc >=3 is less efficient w.r.t. compilation time and memory consumption and in many cases even fails to compile our codes due to the very long expressions. The C/C++ codes generated from the computer algebra software are perhaps unusual but not broken. Since what we are doing is not so unusual in theoretical physics we are probably not alone with these kind problems. Please consider that even if no other debian packages would depend on gcc-2.95 many users may very much require it. Best regards, Heiko -- Dr. Heiko Mueller Englerstr. 28 Tel: +49 6221 89467-21 CEOS GmbH D-69126 Heidelberg Fax: +49 6221 89467-29 Germany http://www.ceos-gmbh.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: State of gcc 2.95 use in Debian unstable
Hi, thanks for all the comments. I will do tests with gcc-4.x and, if the regression is still there, file a bug report upstream.

Thanks! You've done a good job.
Hi all you developers and maintainers, I just came in from a successfull Debian install. (My last full install was somewhat in the past, so I didn't know the the current state and I expected almost every thing to happen during the install.) It just went through. First floppy (since the target machine couldn't boot from CD) and the job was done, almost. Network setup, some slight changes in squid setup and ready. Thanks. (Ok, to make you/us not too happy -- it was a server machine, no X11 needed beside the libs ...)

Re: RFC: library conventions for libc5 and libc6 in hamm Take 4
On Jun 20, Helmut Geyer wrote
:
: 1. Run time packages
:
: A package providing a shared library has to support both C library
: packages, libc5 and libc6 based libraries. This must be done using
: two Debian packages, each depending on the correct C library

: The package naming convention currently suggests to name these
: packages as follows. Some packages (mostly from base) may use

:

:
: libc6 | libfoog [1]| /usr/lib/libfoo.so.
: libc5 | libfoo | /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libfoo.so. [2]
Why not simply include both libraries in one package. I'd think, the
overhead can be ignored. And package version in the future will have libc6
only.
But it must be ensured, that the package w/o libc5 compat can't be
installed as long as there are packages depending on libc5. IMHO the
dependency system should support it.
The libfoo/libfoog approach seems a little bit ugly. It's pure name
space pollution ;-)
: 2. Development packages
:
...
: based on | package name| hierarchy locations
: ---
: libc6 | libfoog-dev | /usr/{lib,include}
: libc5 | libfoo-altdev | /usr/-linuxlibc1/{lib,include}
Ok, same with namespace pollution. Why not calling the ``normal''
(libc6) dev package libfoo-dev and the ``old'' is libfoo-5dev or
similar. Again, it can disappear somewhen in future.
... but probably my thought are not very clear or on the other hand
_too_ much simple :-/

This release, Qt 0.98, is free for non-commercial use on all operating systems that support the X Window System and includes the complete Qt source code for X. Qt 0.98 is intended as a bugfix release. Qt 0.98 includes makefiles for Linux, Solaris, SunOS, FreeBSD and OSF/1. New platforms will be added in the near future. There are also source and binary RPMs for linux. Qt is a complete and well-developed object-oriented framework for developing graphical user interface applications using C++. It has been used professionally for over a year. Qt has excellent documentation: 450 pages of postscript and fully cross-referenced online html documentation. See it on the web: http://www.troll.no/qt/ Qt is easy to learn, with consistent naming across all the classes and a 14-chapter on-line tutorial with links into the rest of the documentation. Qt dramatically cuts down on development time and complexity in writing user interface software for X-Windows. It allows the programmer to focus directly on the programming task, and not mess around with low-level X11 code. Qt is fully object-oriented. All widgets and dialogs are C++ objects, and, using inheritance, creation of new widgets is easy and natural. Qt's revolutionary signal/slot mechanism provides true component programming. Reusable components can work together without any knowledge of each other, and in a type-safe way. Qt has a very fast paint engine, in some cases ten times faster than most other toolkits. You have full access to low-level painting functionality. Painting is device independent, so the same code that draws on the screen can generate printer output. You can also do arbitrary clipping, rotation, and scaling - simply and fast. Qt is very fast and compact because it is based directly on Xlib and uses neither Motif nor X Intrinsics. Qt's widgets (user interface objects) emulate the Motif look and feel, with slight improvements. Qt is available under several licenses: - for commercial use - for use with free software (X only) - for shareware developers (X only) Note that the toolkit is the same, only the licenses differ. The Qt GUI toolkit is copyright Troll Tech AS. It is available (at the time of writing) for Windows 95/NT and several variations of unix (X11 release 5 or later). See http://www.troll.no/ for more availability information, or fax Troll Tech at +47 22646949. Qt can be downloaded from http://www.troll.no/dl/ or via anonymous FTP from ftp.troll.no.

Announcing: Exuberant Ctags 1.4
Author: Darren Hiebert
Announcement
This is to announce an update of my new, better ctags utility. I am quite
pleased with it, and others who have used it have been enthusiastic about
the greater reliability and functionality it provides.
You can find it at:
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/Incoming/ctags-1.4.tar.gz (for now)
or
sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/devel/lang/c/ctags-1.4.tar.gz (once moved)
and also at either of:
http://fly.hiwaay.net/~darren/ctags.html (Official Web site)
ftp://ftp.halcyon.com/local/gvr/ctags-1.4.tar.gz
Changes since version 1.3:
==
o Added ability to recursively parse into class/struct/enum blocks to
look for nested class/struct/enum tags and enumeration values.
o Added feature to allow a specified list of tokens to be ignored while
parsing the file. This is particularly useful when prototyping macros
appear before the parameter list.
o Corrected problem where declaring a pointer const or volatile resulted
in no tag being generated.
o Correction to bug causing a function tag to be generated for comma
terminated function declarations.
o Various portability changes.
What is ctags?
==
Ctags generates an index (or "tag") file of C language objects found in a
set of file that allows these items to be quickly and easily located by a
text editor or other utility. A "tag" signifies a C language object for
which an index entry is available (or, alternatively, the index entry
created for that object).
Alternatively, ctags can generate a cross reference file which lists, in
human readable form, information about the various objects found in a set
of C language files.
Tag index files are supported by the vi(1) editor and its derivatives
(such as vim, elvis, stevie, xvi, and others) through the use of the ":ta"
command, which locates the object associated with a name appearing in a
source file and jumps to the file and line which defines the name.
What makes this ctags desirable?
1. It can find *all* types of C language tags, including all of the
following:
macro definitions
enumerated values (values inside enum{...})
function and method definitions
enum/struct/union tags
external function prototypes (optional)
typedefs
variable declarations
2. It is far less easily fooled by code containing #if preprocessor
conditional constructs, using a conditional path selection algorithm
to resolve complicated choices, and a fall-back algorithm when this one
fails.
3. Can also be used to print out a list of selected objects found in source
files.
4. Supports UNIX, MSDOS, WindowsNT, Windows95, OS/2 and the Amiga. In some
cases, you may need to play with the include files, depending upon you
compiler. Some pre-compiled binaries may become available on the web site.
I wrote this because of my disappointment with the other ctags utilities that
are available. However, it does have a couple of minor limitations (you be the
judge):
1) Support for C++ is limited.
2) Supports only C; not Lisp, shell scripts, or anything else you might
think of.

And did it some harm? The kernel headers below /usr/include
are (should be) the headers most close to libc. The headers below
/usr/src/linux are really kernel related and should be used for
compilation of KERNEL parts (as driver modules and so on) while the
other (libc related) under /usr/include should be used only for
constants and #defines. As far as I got told when I had a similar
question. And now I think, it's quite acceptable.

automated uploading to chiark.
Hello you out there, for you in Europe, using chiark as relay to master.debian.org ... since the procedure of uploading to Incoming and moving to ../queue is somewhat error prone, I've written a little perl script (using ftp.pl and lchat.pl from the mirror package) to do this for me. If somebody is interested in, please mail me. Features: * using *.changes file to determine the files to be uploaded * checking the md5 sums before starting further processing * logging of uploads (preventing duplicated uploads) * moving around on the ftp server, if necessary * sending mail to debian-changes after completed upload of every package Bugs: * not too smart about several directories (for now you'll have to put the files (*.changes, *.diff.gz, *.deb, ...) into the directory where you'll fire up `upload' * not too (to none) smart about locating the *ftp.pl and *chat.pl modules. (Will be fixed soon.) Heiko -- email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp : A1 7D F6 7B 69 73 48 35 E1 DE 21 A7 A8 9A 77 92 finger: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Shared libraries and version handling

I think about doing somethink like an imaginary dpkg-substvars. It
should
* obtain the variables values from central cource
(debian/substvars) or from within the dpkg-* library
routines (see docs for available vars (e.g. ${Source-Version}))
and
* output the contents of a specified variable
to be uses like:
dpkg-substvars --print Source-Version
and/or
* filter (a la sed) and substitute varibles
to be used like:
dpkg-substvars debian/tmp/DEBIAN/shlibs
What do you think about?
(Or have I missed such nice tool? (Having dpkg-1.3.14).

proposal: pseudo source packages
Hello, what about releasing pseudo source packages? What do I mean? I got the maintainance for the xforms package. Real source code isn't available, so the binaries (libs and a form designer) are stuffed together. An .orig.tar.gz isn't created. So every time I changed some debian related stuff, a complete set of files gets uploaded: xforms_0.81-?_i386.deb xforms_0.81-?_m68k.deb xforms-dev_0.81-?_i386.deb xforms-dev_0.81-?_m68k.deb xforms_0.81.tar.gz xforms_0.81.dsc For the first 4 files it's ok. But the latter? Would somebody mind, if I'd remove the debian/ from xforms_0.81.tar.gz and create a xforms_0.81.orig.tar.gz and then the diffs for the debian changes only?

You can't expect for some piece of software (driver) to just compile cleanly against the 2.6 kernel (headers). But, if you where able to write the driver, you should be able to apply the neccessary changes ;-), it's just the kernel API that changed... It's not a Debian specific issue, it would bite you with a 2.6 kernel on a Red Hat system too. The 2.4 kernels are meanwhile somewhat outdated...

shared library in binary-package?
Hi, as I was unsuccessful in finding similiar cases on the mailing lists I would like some input on the handling of corner-case in packaging. The package is fso-usaged from the freesmartphone.org software-stack and not yet in debian. Compilation results in a binary fsousaged, a shared library libfsousage.so* and three plugins (controller.so, lowlevel_kernel26.so, lowlevel_openmoko.so). The plugins use libfsousage and fsousaged loads them according to its config- file. According to the debian-policy libfsousage would require the two separate shared libary packages (0, -dev) but the only users are and will be fsousaged and the plugins alone. Are there other packaging options for such a case, as libfsousage is currently 3,4KB and it seems like much overhead to have the library-packages when there won't ever be other users of it. Currently I have all in one package (34KB deb / 252KB installed-size) but lintian doesn't like it. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Rather than stay stuck in the 1970s, Lamson adopts modern > web application framework design and uses a proven scripting language > (Python). FYI, from the FAQ of lamson: http://lamsonproject.org/docs/faq.html --- Debian and CentOS are notorious for being dinosaurs. Both distributions of Linux suffer from the false rationale that older software is more stable and secure. The reality is that the stability or security of a piece of software is not a function of its age, and in many cases the newer versions of software will typically fix many stability and performance problems. Despite this fact, these two variants of Linux are notorious for back-porting patches from later versions to older versions rather than just using the newer version. In order to help people who need to run a modern piece of software on their antiquated operating systems, I’ve written an extensive document on how to Deploy Lamson that tells you how to do it in a way that should work reliably on most Unix platforms, even if they have an older version of Python. --- Best regards from Dresden/Germany Viele Grüße aus Dresden Heiko Schlittermann -- SCHLITTERMANN.de internet & unix support - Heiko Schlittermann HS12-RIPE - gnupg encrypted messages are welcome - key ID: 48D0359B --- gnupg fingerprint: 3061 CFBF 2D88 F034 E8D2 7E92 EE4E AC98 48D0 359B - signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I didn't follow the whole discussion, I just wanted to note, that there *should* be a possibility to start exim with an alternative config file.

libnl3 soname change
Hi all, last week I did an upload of the current version 3.2.3 libnl3 to experimental. Libnl >= 3.2 is for example necessary for network-manager. Beginning from 3.2 upstream changed the soname changed from libnl3 to libnl3-200 and due to now correct .pc files it was possible to also create separate packages for the individual libraries instead of cramming all of them into one package. So the question would be on how to proceed to get this into unstable without breaking to much. Another question for the installer folks: should the udeb stay as it is, or should it be split too.

Where can I find these tools?

Using Debian (and partly supporting it) since about 1996: as soon as the
network manager and similar tools become the default, it will be Debian's
last days on my and our customers machines.

how to handle *.ucf files in /etc/apache2/conf.d?
Hello, I prepared a package which puts some configuration snippet into /etc/apache2/conf.d. This config snipped is under control of ucf. Eventually there get's an /etc/apache2/conf.d/XXX.ucf-new file created, which confuses apache. I found a bugreport #304785 (4/2005), it's closed, since *.dpkg* files are ignored by apache already. I do not feel comfortable with this solution… Does exist some explanation/solution/excuse, why we can't a) having apache to ignore *.ucf* generally b) just change in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf include conf.d/ into include conf.d/*.conf and ask all packages placing files there to use the .conf extension?

IMHO the main problem currently the installation procedure with CD-ROM, since the distribution doesn't fit on one CD-ROM. As far as I know nobody (but me) has made any attempt to solve this. I'm currently testing a multi-CD installation. About handling multi-CD with other methods I don't know anything. No maintainer of the approbiate packages responded so far.

2.0.34 and x-bit on libraries
Hello, as somebody (Harald Schueler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> pointed out and as we (Paul Seelig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and me) could reproduce after some grief about a non-functional ftp server (using wu-ftpd-academ) we got the impression, that . 2.0.34 needs the x-bit on shared libraries! This is opposite to the practice on 2.0.33 (although most of the libraries are installed 755) and to the dh_* scripts that install libraries 644, isn't it? Could somebody please verify that? And if it turns out to be true, what way we should go? Hack 2.0.34 or change the library permissions to +x? Thanks for letting me wasting your time ;-), Heiko Schlittermann --- datom * internet * support ** Heiko Schlittermann & Partner GbR mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.datom.de/is voice:+49-351-8029981 Heiko Schlittermann HS12-RIPE finger:[EMAIL PROTECTED] --- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Ok, if this turns out to be true, it should be made publically known.

: The basic scheme is fine, it's just the X-Media can be put elsewhere,

We use the original packages files here, but when creating the images
