Bug#875393: partman-auto: allow user to easily edit mount points and sizes

2017-09-11 Thread Daniel Pocock
Package: partman-auto Severity: wishlist When people select the guided partitioning, the list of possible partitions is very restricted (all in one, root+home or root+home+var+tmp) It would be useful to have an extra option, "custom", where the user can see a list: / (root) 100% /home 0%

Bug#677944: bas-mailx priority has changed

2017-09-07 Thread Daniel Pocock
I've reopened this bug because of two things: a) the priority of bsd-mailx was lowered[1] to optional in 2016 (Robert, can you comment on that?) b) consequently, mailutils is now being installed by default in stretch and it doesn't respect /etc/mailname - #253513[2] Regards, Daniel 1.

2017-08-22 Thread Daniel Pocock
Mozilla decided[1] to use GENC[2], a list produced by the US Government and including additional countries that are not correctly covered by ISO3166. The US Govertment's approach (making their own list based on ISO3166) is similar in some ways to the approach I have suggested for Debian. 1.
