Looking for debcheck

There are a number of bug reports in the archive that were automatically generated by a program named deb-check. Is this program still around? I would like to look at it. Thanks, Richard Braakman -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED

Re: Pre-processor Manifest Constant

I think you can find what you want in the cpp info file, node Standard Predefined. It lists macros like __DATE__ and __TIME__. gcc itself also defines __FUNCTION__ and __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, which behave more like string constants and can not be used in preprocessor directives. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE

Re: Python upgrade: dependency question

of these packages is to remove the .pyc files of the python modules that have been removed. One way to do this is to explicitly list the .pyc files to remove. Another would be with a new option to compileall.py (only delete, don't recompile), or with a bit of shell programming. Richard Braakman

Libc6 progress for contrib and non-free (Dec 1997)

This is a list similar to the Libc6 progress list, but for contrib and non-free. Because source code is not available for many of these packages, it will not be possible to convert all of them to libc6. This list has had much less scrutiny than the other one, and is therefore more likely to
