[Bug 313952] [NEW] Boa Constructor Inspector Window unusable on 64-bit Hardy

2009-01-05 Thread dr.moe
Public bug reported:

Inspector unusable - OverflowError - 0.6.1 on Linux 64 bit

Clicking on any numerical property in the inspector to change it results in
the attached error.
The Inspector's property field never opens ; the value it contained before
clicking is set to null/void/nothing, but reverts to the original value
after dismissing the designer and opening it again.
Any subsequent click in the value field for the property after the initial
click raises the same error as in the attached file, unless the Designer
was closed and then opened again.
It becomes therefore impossible to modify any numerical value using the
Inspector.
This does not happen with the value fields with boolean or list (e.g. (O,1)
) types.

Removing ',max=sys.maxint, min=-sys.maxint)' from line 133 in
PropEdit/InspectorEditorControls stops this behaviour.

The bug happens with wx2.6 as well as wx2.8, but not on a 32-bit OS.

Not being a true Python programmer, I have no idea what other impact
removing the line quoted above may have.
Yet, found no other way to be able to use the Inspector so far.

The attached log may refer to a different version of python-wxgtk than my
actual 'working' version (the v2.8 debian package from wxpython.org) ;
please note that the traceback was identical in all other aspects
throughout testing.

[Bug 313960] [NEW] Please update dnsmasq hardy packages to version 2.46

2009-01-05 Thread dr.moe
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dnsmasq

Hello,

Dnsmasq has added support for CNAME directives in the config file starting with 
version 2.46.
This version is not available in Hardy, while I believe a LTS release should 
deserve this improvement.
All alternatives require (to my knowledge) heavier configuration and / or 
demand more on resources.
Switching to bind in order to use CNAME or compiling dnsmasq2.46 from source 
should be considered nontrivial/discourage for the average/beginning user.

How about relasing a package for v2.46 in backports ?

Regards,

Dr. Moe

[Bug 313955] [NEW] Improper translation support for Boa Constructor in Hardy

2009-01-05 Thread dr.moe
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: boa-constructor

Hello,

As I was troubleshooting a different issue with Boa Constructor's Inspector 
window, I eventually ended up installing from upstream source (awkward, I 
know...).
To my surprise, as soon as the source version was installed, all GUI strings 
were properly translated to French, as opposed to roughly 30% of them with the 
Hardy package.
The UI language had been set through Boa's prefs for days, but the setting was 
only taken into account with the original source.
Same issue on 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

[Bug 313956] [NEW] Boa Constructor won't use python-wxgtk v2.8

2009-01-05 Thread dr.moe
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: boa-constructor

Hello,

The Hardy package for Boa depends on version 2.6 of the wxpython libs.
Installing version 2.8 of these libs (which is available in Hardy) makes no 
difference to Boa.
The command line switch for starting Boa with a distinct wx version seems not 
to be supported.

2009-02-05 Thread dr.moe
Hi all,

can't believe Scott James Remnant once wrote "This should be fixed
upstream" (in telinit ! ). Well, it still works for any other distro,
and I bet you'd get a good laugh from the upstream folks if they came
across this, which they may have since this issue came up a VERY long
time ago.
This is really one too many, and our operations are now giving up on
Ubuntu. Glad we found out before we became too involved to go back.
Let's keep serious : there is no way we or anyone just a little
UNIX-savvy will invest time and effort into troubleshooting normal UNIX
behavior just because someone preposterously believed they could change
it, without even attempting to preserve existing standard functionality.
Even if it only lasted for a minute, this would be but a sad joke, so
keep up with your good proprietary fun, but for heaven's sake, stop
claiming that Ubuntu or any operating system using upstart as it is now
would comply with LSB.

This is all we have to say.

2009-01-05 Thread dr.moe
Hi Thierry,

Thanks for forwarding. Looking forward to the backporters' response.

_Yet_, can you tell me if v2.46 stands a chance of making it to the
regular LTS repos ?

I must stress again that this would be an important improvement for LTS.

To summarize: 
- if any dnsmasq user wants / needs to use a cname directive, v2.46
is required.
- the question was asked several times in the past in every ubuntu
forum whose language I can read (many times, that is...)
- beginners won't backport 
- more experienced users may find it a waste of time to backport,
and their work may not benefit to the community (I just backported,
clumsily, and would not submit this work for anybody else's use unless
someone officially in charge would take the time to validate / improve
this backport).
 - anyone not directly involved in Ubuntu will not want to backport
every single daemon in order to stick to the LTS release (I have
backported 3 different servers last month, and this is not my idea of a
Xmas holiday ;-).
- LBNL who'd want the hassle of installing and configuring bind
solely in order to declare a CNAME (or any number of them)? (or any
other DNS server 4 that matter...)

I probably should not have mentioned the backports repo in my previous
message ; getting v2.46 there would surely be better than not at all on
Hardy, _nonetheless_ the whole point should be to give _regular_ Hardy a
simple DNS server with every function anyone would expect which works
_out_of_the_box.

So please let me know if inclusion in the main Hardy repos could be
considered at all (there may be something I missed here...)

Dr. Moe

Re: [Bug 313960] Re: Please update dnsmasq hardy packages to version 2.46

2009-01-06 Thread dr.moe
Hello Mathias and Team,

After carefully reading the page you  mention, I still fail to
understand why dnsmasq 2.46 should not make its way to Hardy LTS at all.

Since :
- It IS also a security upgrade (should be raised above hardy's
current version according to upstream's site).
- No regression was introduced, as other distros have acknowledged,
as your competitors' package listings show.

The only 'valid'  reason mentioned on this policy page would be : "bugs
that (a) are Fix Released in the current development release and (b)
have been nominated but not approved for stable releases"...
although it remains unclear what exact policy applies in these cases.

Moreover, this update would seem to qualify as a MicroException, in
Ubuntu's own terms, provided the packagers actually can communicate with
one another, which seems to be very much the case.

All in all, what a disappointing answer! Not even a remote chance,
either now or later!
It makes it look like Ubuntu LTS is not even striving for
production-ready status and that this claim as well as that of "Long
Term" is but a slogan.

Moreover, such a brisk invalidation of an otherwise valid report without
even bothering to examine or answer the other arguments we gave
regarding the benefits this update could bring to Ubuntu gives your
company a bad name.
Not to mention referring us to your policy page, since software quality
and marketing have little to do with one another. 

It had been a hard time convincing several of our customers to switch to
Ubuntu, and there will be no way for me or anyone else to talk them into
accepting quick and dirty handmade non-supported backports like the one
I made for this daemon and am currently using.
Alas, the management's conclusions will likely highly resemble mine
above: not production-ready, not an LTS release but for the name.
(Please note this is not the first issue of this kind we've come across,
only the first one reported, and that it used to seem - from testing
previous releases since the not-production-ready-either dapper drake -
that Ubuntu's maintainers were among the most reactive).

Still hoping at the very least for an officially supported backport...

And at best for more sensible consideration, i.e. a detailed answer to
the reasons we formerly gave for this request, which ideally would match
Ubuntu's claims to quality.

Meanwhile (if so) I remain terribly sorry for this lack of concern
towards quality and human consideration.

Regards,

Dr. Moe

Thanks for taking a little more time to explain. Nonetheless, perhaps
the most important point is still missing from your answer. Please see

which is the part of my former posts you seem to insist on missing. I
may indeed not be aware of such a regression, but :
- there is no report of this alleged regression, wherever.
- Ubuntu packagers would know, if I'm correct, since packages for
dnsmasq 2.46 were built for both Intrepid and Jaunty, and the
maintainers also patched the Hardy version as soon as a security flaw
was discovered.
So why not give the actual technical reason? Please do.

>  (even if very unlikely) for the majority of users to please a
> minority of them.

I fail to understand what minority you are referring to. Provided that a
post would represent a number of users (on top of the poster himself),
please add up the many posts I mentioned before and do the math ; while
this may not be the majority, we are definitely not talking about just a
few.

Trying to make such a point also misses on the issue of the targeted
audience. Some customers will simply not use Bind, or any other "easier"
DNS server than dnsmasq.
Hence, there is probably no such thing as a general DNS server users'
target audience, and figures should be evaluated accordingly.

As a real-world example, we actually had to switch two production
servers to Slackware because the site manager would more easily trust
both the security advisories he can find on the web and their need for
CNAME functionality than the package we backported (sadly); following
this (and other issues) , we have ceased to recommend Hardy as a
solution for security-conscious sites that cannot dedicate more
resources to IT management; although setting up the Slackware "model
server" was some task, it has already proved not to lead to such dead
ends, thus allowing us to revert our remote maintenance time budget to
normal. Please note that this had quite an impact in terms of Ubuntu's
image for most of this company's employees.


>  That's what upgrading is for : getting new
> functionality and bleeding-edge releases of software.

In upgrading to a _stable_ release?
If "recent" was the word, we'd be using Intrepid or Jaunty, and not the
self proclaimed production server that came out before we started our
projects. We would not use the production-ready-LTS argument on our
customers either.

Also, referring to _new_ functionality here feels odd ; CNAMEs may be
new to dnsmasq (making the product indeed ready for adoption in
different environments), they are not to DNS.
Once again, we are not discussing just some gizmo, but essential DNS
functionality, no matter how recently it may have been introduced in
dnsmasq.
We do understand the _fear_ of regression due to this function's novelty
_in_dnsqmasq_, but again there have been no reports of such a
regression, no matter where we look.

>  RHEL for example
> apparently still ships dnsmasq-2.39...

Slackware, ArchLinux, Debian's Lenny (currently "frozen") and OpenSuse
to name just a few all ship 2.46, which is even available in the
commercial version of the latter.
Besides, the comparison with RHEL seems inappropriate, since it is a
commercial product, and neither ourselves or our customers are part of
their partners ; it seems that companies like Ubuntu claim to offer the
same quality (a production-ready server OS) for free.

> 
> That said we understand the need to provide new functionality for users

And we all have yet to receive an answer from them... and by now it
would seem that more time was spent on either end discussing whether the
update is worthwhile than would be required to at least build the
package, if not test its integration within hardy for this hypothetical
(AFAIK) regression.

Finally, our operations are now fine here, some without Ubuntu, some
with our own backport, but we are still expecting a technical,
fact-based explanation to marking this bug as invalid. Your next answer
will help in determining whether it is still worthwhile looking into
Ubuntu's evolutions and support or if we should build up on different
solutions.

[Bug 319406] Re: runlevel not passed to init scripts

2009-01-20 Thread dr.moe
Hello,

Up

This should actually be phrased as upstart MUST support various runlevels.
Went the same path as Marco Ciampa, and achieved the same results.
In the current offer, upstart only has support dor the built-in recovery mode 
plus ONE runlevel.
This is a nonstandard behaviour which causes perplexity to many.
While looking for a solution, I came across several apparent dead ends where 
others may stop.
Choice of any runlevel among several is a standard feature which cannot be 
given up or made harder to set up.

And so ?
How does this account for anything else ?
(On a side note, the former message was addressing the team, obviously)

Your answer perplexed us for a second, and then gave us all a good
laugh.
As our final communication with Canonical; we decided to google around
for S.J.R. so as to better explain why all further messages from this
individual and company will now be piped to /dev/null here.

Referring to S.J.R.'s comments on this bug and to
http://www.fosdem.org/2009/interview/scott+james+remnant:

Scott James Remnant believes "hat sometimes you've just got to ditch the
past and start over from scratch" ; yet, the same once admitted that his
product "only handles -s/single/S being on the command line, because
that's all I knew about at the time". Hence, S.J.R. believes he can
singlehandedly change something he hardly understands (preposterous, did
we write ?) and that he among all people doesn't have to pay attention
to the recommendations of his elders.
Sadly, S.J.R appears to show enough charisma / pretention to have
convinced others to turn Ubuntu's users (and now Fedora's) into his
beta-testers ; which we definitely refuse to be, especially as we were
using what Canonical claims to be a production-ready server (no, we're
not testing this kind of product, guess why ?).

We shall give upstart a high salute when it becomes ready ; for now, the
program being almost years behind its own schedule, still not including
basic functionaliity based on the claim that it will turn better someday
(ever heard M$ representatives explain that it doesn't matter if their
product is buggy because they will be releasing a new version ?), and
S.J.R. having the extra nerve to postpone fixing certain flaws which are
so apparent that they have been reported over a dozen times, we are
simply waving goodbye (ditching as you'd say) any distro which uses
upstart in its present state.

Finally, we are glad to report that we have tired enough of mindless
one-line answers from Canonical team members who prefer to brag about
who they believe they are instead of trying to understand what may be
wrong with their work to extend our decision of ditching ubuntu to
redirecting any e-mail from Canonical / Ubuntu / related / etc. to the
black hole where they belong. Heck, we've wasted enough time tracking
down discrepancies and unexpected behaviors to bugs usually introduced
by Ubuntu's packaging or projects not to have to bear with these high
ideas of yourselves when all you should be doing is fixing those
mistakes.

Although our policy never was to ignore anybody (as Robert Silverberg
once wrote : "Ignorance cannot be forgiven, it can only be cured"), we
have spent enough valuable time reminding Ubuntu associates of their
responsibilities and received enough of these answers made of contempt
which amount to "Do you know who you're talking to ?", this latest
answer from S.J.R . being the winner in this category.
There is no point whatsoever in engaging a conversation with people who
know better no matter what to the extent that they won't bother replying
to arguments, and prefer to rely on the opinion they have on themselves.
Maybe S.J.R. should have read the message on the t-shirts labeled "F***
Ubuntu" differently and come back to a bit decent humility, if he ever
had any ; too bad S.J.R. was baffled to find out that
other people believed in thinking ahead and working together, that the
same people where just not ready to blindly follow S.J.R wherever he'd
want to go; maybe those t-shirts should have used a different name than
Ubuntu.

We have nothing else to say on this matter.

/usr/share/gcfilms/lib/GCExport/GCExportTarGz.pm
  is commented out (on my machine, the line reads :
   #$movie->{image} = $self->restorePicture;
  after adding the comment mark).
- This stops the export operation from freezing, but the resulting file cannot 
be imported into a win32 version of the program (tried with v.6.2, will double 
check with matching version 6.0 if I can find a windoze archive).

with v.6.2, will double check with matching version 6.0 if I can find a windoze 
archive ; importing back into same prog on same machine on Linux works fine).
