IMO you need to build a kernel with support for your DAC960 diskcontroller.

[d-i] Extended 'Description' fields in control files

2002-09-13 Thread Martin Sjögren

I've been fiddling with Description-XYZ fields in control files, for the
purpose of i18n in main-menu, and, well, dpkg doesn't like my UTF-8 :(

I've got this in anna/debian/control:


Description: Finish setting up the Debian installer
 anna's not nearly apt, but for the Debian installer, it will do.
XBC-Description-sv: Färdigställ Debians installationsprogram
 anna är inte apt på långa vägar, men för Debians installationsprogram
 duger det.

but when the package has been built, dpkg-deb -I says this:

 Description: Finish setting up the Debian installer
  anna's not nearly apt, but for the Debian installer, it will do.
 description-sv: Färdigställ Debians installationsprogram
  anna är inte apt på långa vägar, men för Debians
installationsprogram
  duger det.

sure, still valid UTF-8, but it's UTF-8 for what the UTF-8 is if
interpreted according to Latin1. I thought dpkg didn't assume anything
at all about the encoding in control files? That it expected us-ascii
and damn everyone who didn't follow that. Can I fix this somehow, or are
we doomed to having several encodings in the file because we can't do
UTF-8?

Martin

 Seriously my feeling is that users are getting bored when they
 choose a language and provided default values do not take this
 information into accout (when choosing keyboard layout, mirrors,
 default system language, etc.).

From what I remember, the boot-floppies did use the selected language to
determine the defaults for keyboard layout and mirrors.  It would be a
shame for d-i not to do this.

 actually, i was asked to produce a 2.4.19bf kernel, which i have. if we
 need updated 2.4.18, i'll provide that.
 
 expect 2.4.18bf u/l by friday

If you have not done yet, please wait. I am preparing an unofficial set
of boot-floppies with USB floppy support and I stumbled over a kernel
problem which may prevent ide-floppy users from installing Debian. IMHO
this patch for rd.c would allow any device to be used for the initrd
compressed image, and without it, such devices would be ignored. Did
anyone try to install from a LS-120 floppy? IMHO this would break, but
with this patch and the proper kernel arguments it would work.

I don't think it is a workable solution to have Description-xx fields encoding on
8-bit encoding.

Could we move that out of Description-xx: lines to 
generate some kind of po file?

I was only working with it like this because this was the current
concept of translating the main menu. It wasn't used though, so I wanted
to play around with it and test it a bit.

 No, there is something in the attic of tools/ddetect

There are, at least, two methods for hard drive detection.
* with parted
* with discover

For parted, you can look at the source of partprobe
parted-1.6.3/partprobe/partprobe.c
and in autopartkit
debian-installer/tools/autopartkit/autopartkit.c

For libdiscover, you can look here :
discover-1.5/lib/disk.c
or in 
http://cvs.debian.org/debian-installer/tools/ddetect/Attic/diskdetect.c

Discover parse /proc/* entry.
parted use ioctl to find disks.

I don't know what is the best tool, and if they work fine on others archs,
and on Debian GNU/Hurd and Debian/xBSD.

And last thing, next version of discover (discover2) will use better
approach to these problems : there will be a generic api and different
functions for each OS. Yan can find some old devel sources at :

http://hackers.progeny.com/discover/releases/

and release status at :

 Accessible installation will also most probably not like to be run in bterm.
 brltty uses /dev/vcsa, and other screen readers behave in similar ways.

 How does one use brltty (it's braile terminal, right?)?
I think it's braille teletype if you ask me :)

 Similarily to xterm/bterm/etc?
no.

 And what is /dev/vcsa?

It's virtual console based.  You simply run your apllications on 
the available virtual consoles, and brltty accesses the text and color
information of the currently selected VC 
via /dev/vcsa (virtual console screen with attributes).

[Junichi Uekawa]
 Are you mentioning pointerize ?

No, I was thinking about a patch I made to boot-floppies to choose
translation from a prioritized list of languages.  The patch was not
accepted, if I recall correctly.

I've been talking about pointerize in other contexts without
remembering its name, when I was discussing the small gettext-like
implementation available in boot-floppies.

Po-debconf is based on intltool scripts, written by GNOME.  I added
support for rfc822 format (partly incorporated upstream), modified
scripts are available at /usr/share/po-debconf/.
These scripts can be used to deal with control files too.
