No doubt most of you have seen the NSA's secure linux posting
on Slashdot this morning.
Looking at:
http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/docs.html
there appears to be several utilities that have been updated
to provide enhanced security.
Should we be merging these patches into Debian, assuming they

This is a stupid question, but I've never figured it out:
Is there a way to restart a build of a package *AND* still
be able to generate the source tarball and diff?
I've tried the -nc option to dpkg-buildpackage, but it always
omits the orig.tar.gz.
I'm trying to bootstrap a program that takes

I need to work with Gwydion Dylan, and noticed we don't currently
have a package for it.
I vaguely remember someone talking about it long ago, but don't
remember what became of it.
I intend to package this Dylan implementation unless someone else
is already doing so. I don't see any mention in W

That's my question as well. I can't find any reference to an "active"
packet definition. Could he mean some kind of "keep-alive" configurati

Can anyone refresh my memory as to the legality of encryption-enabled builds
of software inside the U.S. Did we (like Kernel.org) decide it was okay to
host this in U.S.-based servers, or are we still recommending
that members of the free world do such builds?

Were you using the Slink-an-a-half, or the original
Slink? The original slink was based on the 2.0 Kernel,
and I believe with Potato some of the settings for
chat changed. Unfortunately, I can't r
Title: RE: Mozilla
The Mozilla M14 readme clearly states that the M13 preferences
are not compatible. Most likely their install script removes
the preferences automatically or similar, but I view this as
a fix for a temporary problem and not worth implementing for
Debian.

I'm sure you were aware that you have to upgrade your pppd to work with any
of the higher-order 2.1.X kernels? You might want to check the kernel

I say let's make the 2.2 image a high-profile aspect of slink's release. The kernel is very stable, and I've been running my Debian system on it since 2.1.120. Plus, it would be a great "technical" feature of our distribution that might give us some bragging rights over the other distros.

I'd like to chime in --
It's a real annoyance that the base disks don't set up lilo to let you
boot into multiple operating systems. Couldn't it ask if you want to
dual-boot with windows, or whatever, and generate an appropriate lilo.conf
file?
