I have been writing the Debian disk tool for the past two days. This is
an ncurses form-and-menu-driven program that is a front-end for fdisk3,
mkfs, mkswap, and mount. It also edits /etc/fstab. The user selects the
partition location, size, type, and mount point in one step, and the
program does t

I doubt there'll be a substantial number of architecture-neutral
packages; we can either copy or link them into all of the trees.
I suppose this depends on what you mean by substantial... Here's a
list of packages that appear to be architecture-neutral, by cursory
examination o

Current source available for libident is at .17 even though the only
difference between it and .16 is a change in the copyright notice in the
README file. The .deb, .diff.gz, and the tar.gz files have been uploaded

subsumed into dbackup): I've got a makefile (appended) that I use to
look at all the non-homedir files on my system and compare the list to
/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list and *.conffiles, leaving me with information

Folks,
I am in the middle of writing ``dbackup'' -- a backup mechanism which will
take advantage of the debian packaging mechanism to reduce the amount of
storage required to make a complete backup of your system.

You might want to make this
PS=`ps -p $PID 2>/dev/null| tail -1 | grep named | grep -v grep`
so that it doesn't pick up the grep process as well.
