Bug#143043: ITP: kronolith -- Web Based Calendar Manager

2002-04-15 Thread Nils Rennebarth
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

I would like to package kronolith, part of the horde suite of applications.

Description: Web Based Calendar Manager
 Kronolith is the Horde calendar application. It is currently in the
 development stages, and makes heavy use of the Horde framework to provide
 integration with other applications.
 .
 Right now, Kronolith implements a solid, stand-alone calendar system,
 allowing repeating events, all-day events, custom fields, keywords, and
 managing multiple users through Horde Authentication.
 . 
 In the future, Kronolith will support shared calendars, allowing others
 various levels of access to your calendar, importing data from vCal files
 or attachments, and generating vCal free/busy information.

kronolith is licensed under the GPL.

Re: kernel-{image,headers} package bloat

 Anyway, I would like to have an smp kernel readily available in Debian.
 Mandrake for example installs the SMP kernel by default if the target
 machine is a smp box. If another kernel-image is needed to support that
 I can life with only UP.
 
 Basically I don't care if our distributed kernels squeeze the last 10%
 out of the processor(s). But in an ideal world it should at least support all
 installed processors so that I don't lose 100% compared to a custom kernel. 
 Anyway, if it's impossible to do that without adding bloat I can do without.
Instead of creating lots of different kernel-image packages what about
a package that can create a kernel-image from source and gives you a list of
some more or less generic kernel to choose from?

X-Medium in /var/lib/dpkg/available

2001-04-30 Thread Nils Rennebarth
Short problem description:
dpkg complains about wrong syntax in /var/lib/dpkg/available, and in
fact there are a lot of package descriptions where the last line
read something like (from memory)

X-MediumDebian GNU/Linux potato CD 2...

which should of course read 

X-Medium: Debian GNU/Linux potato CD 2...

Now I cant use apt any more because on every run it rewrites the available
file and then dpkg fails again :-(

How that problem came up:

I tried to upgrade my potato home computer to sid by apt-get dist-upgrade.
After downloading everything and installing and configuring a few packages
apt stopped because apt-utils hadn't been installed.

Ok, installed that by hand using dpkg -i, fiddling around a bit to get the
proper dependencies and finally apt and apt-utils were installed. From then
on the X-Medium Problem emerged.

Ideas?

 A kernel-module must be built with the EXACT SAME environment as the kernel

Ok, we established that the flavored kernel-headers packages are to build
modules for the debian-provided kernels by yourself.

This is legitimate imho, because it is *not* only for people who may want
to distribute binary modules but may come handy if I had a network card
supported only by a newer version of the driver: Get the new version,
compile it as a module, hardware runs.

*BUT* as someone else mentioned, the cases where you get away with a full
kernel source and only need what kernel-headers provide are so few, that it
isn't really worth supporting them. People who need to build modules for the
debian supplied kernel that are not already there should use the full kernel
source and use the .config of their kernel-image to create modules with
symbols matching their running kernel.

Packages file not updated for pool

2000-12-29 Thread Nils Rennebarth
Why is the woody Package file not updated when Files enter the Package pool?
Or is there still another Package file that I need to use? The only Pool
files that had mad it into the Package file are libc6 and spong.

Or did I miss something?

Large file support again

2000-09-13 Thread Nils Rennebarth
On 
   http://www.suse.de/~aj/linux_lfs.html
I read that for glibc 2.1.3 in order to support large files it needs to be
compiled against headers from a 2.4 kernel. As this is currently not the
case, glibc 2.1.3 should be rebuilt.

 Then you must have some other arrangement to get the colors;
 it's not enabled by default. Try a fresh install (I have).
 Maybe a direct setting of LS_COLORS in your .bash_profile or 
 whatever?
Setting LS_COLORS only affects the colors that certain files get, based on
their suffix or file type (directory, block device, etc).
Unsetting LS_COLORS gives you the default coloring.

Coloring or not only depends on the options you give to ls. There are
however aliases suggested by .bashrc (initally commented out) and
environment variable settings that do:

LS_OPTIONS=--color=auto
alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS'

--color=auto tells ls to use color iff output is a tty. ls never looks at
the terminal type.

Basically: yes, ls could be improved. It uses hardcoded escape sequences.

Warnings when linking with gtk

1998-04-15 Thread Nils Rennebarth
To compile and link the first example from the gtk Tutorial:

#include gtk/gtk.h
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
GtkWidget *window;

gtk_init (argc, argv);
window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_widget_show (window);

gtk_main ();
return 0;
}

I use the minimal Makefile:

CFLAGS=-O2 -g -I/usr/lib/glib/include/
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lglib -lgdk -lgtk -lm

and get an (apparently) working program but the warnings:

conflict with libc.so.6
/lib/libc.so.5: the `Getwd' function is dangerous and should not be used.
/lib/libc.so.5: the `Gets' function is dangerous and should not be used.
/lib/libc.so.5: warning: `Siggetmask' is obsolete; `Sigprocmask' is best

NO that's not true. The NT bootloader is there. As another member of the

What you could do is to delete (under MSDOS) every file of this partion,
except the system files:
  \boot.ini
  \autoexec.bat
  \boot.ini
  \bootsect.dos
  \command.com
  \config.sys

Then you could shrink this partition to a rather small one using fips and

I must second Andreas here. The ISDN stuff is an exception.

There is active development in the ISDN area. The device driver should
have made it into the 2.0.30 kernel, but didn't because of an error of the
kernel source maintainers. It contains stuff there to stay, but the ISDN
utilities need this stuff now.

In short: Future (stable and unstable) kernel versions will contain the
data-structures and definition that isdnutils is needing now. The utilities
are just a bit ahead of the kernel releases, but not because of
instability but because of mistakes on part of the kernel source
maintainers. This is the exception Andreas asks for.

Well, since I don't much at all about

about endianness.


As far as I can gather, the only files that aren't independent are tfm 
files.  Is that correct?
No. *Everything* is platform independent except the executable binaries
(of course) and .base and .fmt files, but the latter are generated at
installation time anyway.

Much care had been taken by D.E.Knuth to make .dvi .tfm and .pk files
platform and especially endianness independent. All other files of the TeX
system are simple ASCII textfiles.

Bug#4221: knews silently overwrites configuration file

1996-08-22 Thread Nils Rennebarth
Knews should handle an upgrade more intelligently and not simply overwrite
the (possibly customized) /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Knews
configuration file.

I know this is difficult to do right. A lot of Knews functionality depends
on a working Knews.ad and what is necessary there changes from release to
release. 
Maybe it should look if there already exists one and give the user an
option to install a new one / back up the old one ... like dpkg does.

Listing it as a conffile is not satisfactory though because it is created
from user-input at installtime.

that takes all it's information from the debian.control files and
requires to add the right debian.{pre|post}{inst|rm} scripts, 
debian.copyrights and a debian.Makefile.

The latter is used by debian.rules and has to supply the target all, 
install and clean, responsible for
a) building the binaries
 This is almost the same as the supplied makefile would do, only e.g. 
supplying some CFLAGS, calling xmkmf or configure before,...
b) install all required files
 This is the same as the install target of the original Makefile does,
however the target directory is not / as usual but $(root) 
(set do / by default but to `pwd`/debian-tmp by debian.rules) because dpkg
needs to make a package from it. 
c) making clean
 Delete all files generated mechanically during a).

This way all debian specific handling is in a fixed debian.rules and all 
package specific things are in the other debian.* files.

If we could agree on this scheme, we could also agree to distribute
a) the generated .deb file
b) the original source
c) the context diff showing only modifications made to the source
d) the debian.* files
it would be much easier to fix control and installation specific things.
And there had already been suggestions to distribute the original source 
and the patches to the original. Not that this matters much, but the 
essence of my proposal is to exclude the debian.* files from the patch 
and supply them separately.

Bug#1793: german.hash has wron magic number

1995-11-02 Thread Nils Rennebarth
Package: igerman, wgerman

Running Ispell with the supplied german.hash gives the error message:
  Illegal format hash table /usr/lib/ispell/german.hash - \
  expected magic2 0x9602, got 0x0

Rebuilding german.hash with buildhash succeeds but gives error messages
on all words containing umlauts.




papersize

1995-10-22 Thread Nils Rennebarth
The a2gs postinst uses /etc/papersize if it exists or asks the user for 
the default papersize and writes this to /etc/papersize.

The TeX postinst needs this information too, but it can't rely on an 
installed a2gs. This means code has to be duplicated which could result 
in incompatibilities and is not a satisfying solution anyway.

Could this be included in the base system?

I'm willing to write a dialog based perl script modeled after the a2gs 
script to do papersize configuration.

Any other ideas?

A related note:
Currently I use dialog in perl scripts by using a modified version of 
dialog.pl that uses perl5's modular features. The result is Dialog.pm,
making the use of dialog extremely convenient.

How should I make this file available? TeX postinst (not the current but 
the coming version containing full dialog-guided configuration) will need it.

I asked the dialog author if he is interested but got no response.
I'll try that again.
