Re: Bug#183453: e2fsprogs-bf: Please provide a lintian override for man pages

The lintian report gives an error, but this is a lintian false positive. If you were to add a lintian override for this error, it would disappear from the QA web pages automatically. Simply add one by supplying a /usr/share/llintian/overrides/e2fsprogs-bf file as detailed in http://lintian.debian.org/manual/ch2.html#s2.4 Since it's a generic rule that *-bf packages should not contain manpages, I'm of the opinion that a new rule should be added to lintian, rather than adding overrides to all *-bf packages. Further more, since I don't think the new debian-installer is using those *-bf packages, but uses udeb's instead, those *-bf packages may be completely obsolete already.

Bug#183541: cdebconf/slang: wrong display range with long lists
Package: cdebconf-slang-udeb Version: 0.31 Severity: important I'm using the slang frontend. When the main menu contains a lot of options, some options are not displayed, and one need to scroll to reach the other options. When the menu first appear, the upper part of the list is always displayed, no matter which option is currently the default. The result is a menu with apparently no 'checked' option, and no bar indicating where on the menu the focus is. One must use the arrow keys to move the cursor up or down to get it displayed. I believe the cursor and the current default should always be displayed when the menu first appear.

cdebconf progress bars and debootstrap
Well, after discussing with aj for a while, he had the following comment about the cdebconf progress bar API: it sucks ;-) Myself, I am of the opinion that it was a bad idea not to look at what debootstrap and b-f use, when designing the API. Short summary: cdebconf progress bars: progress start min max title progress step inc info progress stop debootstrap: P: curr max title I: info This is very incompatible, especially since the cdebconf way means that inc is added *after* the info is displayed. I hacked around this in debootstrap to add a --debian-installer flag but aj thought it was much too horrible to include. I agree with him, though I wish he'd said it before I spent the hours doing this. Someone bloody well owes me a beer! ;) Thus, I suggest we change the API for cdebconf progress bar to match what b-f and debootstrap use. Something like: progress start (can still use this one, and it makes sense) progress step inc (or progress set val) progress info info progress stop This means that when we (i.e. Thorsten in cdrom-checker and I in anna) used progress step 1 some/template do something we should instead use progress info some/template do something progress inc 1 which is much more compatible with debootstrap and it still makes sense.

generic logging handling in d-i
Hello, while writing some stuff for di-utils and lvmcfg, I'm wondering how the udebs should handle debugging informations/outputs. Shouldn't be a generic way available for this, or in other words, how many informations (and which ones) must logged on tty3 (/var/log/(messages|syslog)). I think most of the packages doesn't report enough informations to the user, to let them track down a problem. For example, the di-utils doesn't print informations about located harddiscs in the system. It doesn't log the partitions, and why they are not shown for mkfs (other fdisk-id, already mounted, swap, ...). Is this a good situtation to print such informations out to systemlog, or should such information simply hided from the user? Why cdrom-detect doesn't log which device is used as cdrom? Why the retrievers doesn't log which Packages file is used (dists/testing/.../, for example). The network confg udeb should log the used network configuration to syslog. And so one. There are a lot of useful informations. Isn't this a usefull way to debug installation problems? Specially for advanced users? Any suggest for this? Comments?

Re: Bug#183453: e2fsprogs-bf: Please provide a lintian override for man pages

Listed on this page are all the manpages that normally would accompany e2fsprogs-bf. However, the man pages have been removed from this package because the package is intended to be used on a floppy, so anything extra goes. The lintian report gives an error, but this is a lintian false positive. If you were to add a lintian override for this error, it would disappear from the QA web pages automatically. Simply add one by supplying a /usr/share/llintian/overrides/e2fsprogs-bf file as detailed in http://lintian.debian.org/manual/ch2.html#s2.4 Since it's a generic rule that *-bf packages should not contain manpages, I'm of the opinion that a new rule should be added to lintian, rather than adding overrides to all *-bf packages. I was under the impression, based on an email on another list (http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2003/debian-qa-200303/msg1.html) which was suggested, This is a lintian false positive, and probably one that can't be worked around in lintian that this would not be possible in lintian. I have CC'd the lintian-maintainer to see if it is possible. Further more, since I don't think the new debian-installer is using those *-bf packages, but uses udeb's instead, those *-bf packages may be completely obsolete already. Did you discuss the issue first with the lintian maintainer and the bf team ? I have included the debian-boot list on this email as well to see if we can get resolution on if the *-bf packages are completely obsolete or not. Thanks!

sparc32 2.4 kernel (was Re: m68k, debian-installer, and DevFS)
