Important D-I team organiz ation item : please fill in the tasks wiki page
As a result of a thread in this list and, mostly, as an attempt to sort out some of the issues currently faced by the team (low manpower, misunderstandings about who's doing what, etc.), the following wiki page has been setup: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Tasks Please fill it in if you feel in charge for a given area of Debian Installer development and work. Also please check whether you're listed in http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Team Ideally, we should have one person in charge per line and, preferrably, a backup person as well. However, let's be realistic: this will not happen and we will have *many* areas where we'll discover that noone feels more reponsible than others for. We need to accept this and find a solution, but let's first fill in the blanks we can fill in. Then, we'll discuss about the remaining bits. I do not expect all concerned people to be listening carefully enough here and it's likely that some tasks where someone is clearly in charge are not filled int because..the needed person is just not paying attention. If you feel like someone *else than you* is in charge of something, I propose that you put his|her nickname in face of the task, in italics. This will allow us to later contact these persons and ask them if to confirm if they feel in charge of task foo. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Please consider unblock kernel-package/11.013
Hi, This version corrects a bug that caused kernel images on sparc to fail, and that bug is in testing as well. This closes a RC bug. (It has just been uploaded with a high urgency, with a one line change, the other changes have been in the archive for 9 days) Other changes include: a) A new french translation (documentation) b) A lower bound on the po41 build dependency to ease backports, c) Handling in kernel Xen code d) Include the full set of headers for the x86 architecture. That last feature closes an important bug, so would also qualify for testing.

Re: Call for testing of RC1 images - host command not installed!
Quoting Holger Wansing ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): Shouldn't host command be installed with the standard system task? The standard system task is not a task per se. This is just the installation of all packages with priority=standard. So, if you think that the host command should be in the standard system, then the right package to bug about this is the one providing it, I think. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

strange apt-setup screen
Hi, I've pulled the netboot Xen variant and did a paravirtual installation. It went all right, but I noticed a mysterious empty box on the APT setup screen: see http://apt.niif.hu/apt-config.png above the Continue button. Is that maybe a degenerated scrollbar, where volatile is hiding? It isn't included in sources.list after installation. I can't test it until tomorrow, but it's unfortunate either way... -- Thanks, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In any of those case, I'm ok with that one change. nm-applet.desktop is installed according to the fd.o autostart spec (into /etc/xdg/autostart). KDE3 does *not* support this spec (KDE4 does though), so it is impossible that nm-applet is autostarted in KDE. It might be autostarted in KDE4 though (I'd have to verify that, I don't know if KDE4 uses the same session identifier as KDE3 does). But as we don't ship KDE4 as desktop in lenny (only the libs), we are safe on this side. Matter of fact, we could even go as far and remove the OnlyShownIn=GNOME line altogether for lenny.

Re: Bug#500119: [Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#500119: Better way to avoid both knetworkmanager and nm-applet are started in parallel
Thank you all for handling this bug report. I have related knowledge and can confirm the correctness of this fix. Please refer to the spec: http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html quote OnlyShowIn, NotShowIn A list of strings identifying the environments that should display/not display a given desktop entry. Only one of these keys, either OnlyShowIn or NotShowIn, may appear in a group (for possible values see the Desktop Menu Specification). /quote So, apparently, this fix MUST work. Otherwise, it's definitely a serious KDE4 bug. Cheers!

In any of those case, I'm ok with that one change. This is somewhat complicate to decide. I see two sides in this question: 1) adding Network Manager for LXDE we'll give a more ready to use desktop for laptop users and give some extra bonus for regular users; 2) LXDE seems to fit very well with users wanting a low-resource environment and Network Manager is not thin (it bring a lot of libraries and consumes resources); So personally I'm unsure which is the best option. From my POV I believe we shouldn't add Network Manager on lxde-desktop task since it's quite easy to do it and we can make the installation fat for a user that is limited regarting space, memory and cpu power.
