Moving the spellchecker to d-i.d.o
Hi, I was reading the IRC conversation backlog, in particular: 19:53 bubulle luk_: moving l10n-sync requires some coordination with david-e as he's using an all-po.tar.gz file that's produced by the script (for the spellchecker) 19:54 bubulle and moving the spellchecker to d-i.d.o might be tricky as david-e is not DD 19:56 luk_ is the spellchecker in a VCS? 19:57 luk_ if so, then it should be rather easy to get updates deployed 20:01 bubulle luk_: yes, the spellchecker is in scripts/l10n/spellcheck 20:02 bubulle I don't exactly know how david-e is running itwhich is actually a good argument to ask him about this 20:02 luk_ sure, coordinating with him before doing anything is the best course of action we have a couple of options here: 1. the easiest would be to leave the spellchecker scripts on Alioth and just wget all-po.tar.gz from d-i.d.o rather than copying it from a local directory. really trivial to fix as it would mean changing only cfg/update_po.sh 2. everything can otherwise be moved to another server: this would mean setting up a daily cronjob and fix a few paths in config files. Havne't touched the spellchecker since a few years now and I can't remember how to do it by heart. Of course I'd have no problems to help with this though. just let me know what you think it would be best regards, Davide signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Customize Debian Installer GUI and Debian Installer Text mode
Hi, on first place I'm sorry for my bad English. I'm building a Debian based distro for internal use on my work. I have to change Debian Installer Graphical Interface for adding the bussiness logo and change some colours, but I can't find the logo and colours. Also I can't find where to change the Text Interface colours. At the moment I have changed the splash image and boot menu colours. I had used SimpleCDD for building the distro, I've extracted the ISO on a Directory and searched for the logo and searched along various files to change the menu colours but I can't find it. ¿Can anybody tell me where are the files to change or the way to do that? I've searched on Google, Debian Wiki, forums, etc. but i can't find anything. I know that it's possible because some Debian Based Distros had done, for example Linex and Guadalinex. Thank you for your help. -- Joaquín Manuel Llano Montero Linux Registered User #481540

In the initrd for the graphical installer: - logo and icons: /usr/share/graphics/ - theme definition (colors): /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/gtk-2.0/gtkrc Both are included in the rootskel-gtk source package. The best way to customize your version of the installer is to modify that and build a custom version of the installer using it. For more information, see http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/internals/.

FWIW that can be written just as `sed -n 's/^Version: //p'`, since p
will only print if a substitution was made, but what you probably want
is `dpkg-query -W -f '${Version}\n' passwd`, which TTBOMK is the
preferred interface for such queries.

If there _is_ a package with prio Important that depends on them, then why isn't that package getting installed? I did not check really carefully, but for libsasl2-2 and libgnutls26 I did not see any such packages in the list of reverse deps, only ones of prio Standard. Which would mean that those libs should also be prio Standard, not Important. I reported a number of priority inconsistencies myself before the release and those were fixed. But it seems as if the FTP masters have not done an extensive check for Lenny to update all such inconsistencies. IIRC such checks were done for past releases. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

It's much more important that such things get cleaned up in the last few months before a new stable release, when libraries are frozen (at least for ABI changes). Example: libdb4.6 This one had to be prio Important up to the time iproute was updated to libdb4.7. This older version of the lib will disappear automatically when all remaining packages that depend on it have also been updated to 4.7. The same is probably true for some of the others. Which is exactly why this is not interesting for daily builds: there is simply too much flux with ABI changes in libs. It would be way too much work for essentially no gain to try to keep up with that at this point. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#516280: This bug needs to stay open until it is resolved
Quoting Rob Fulton (r...@cow-frenzy.co.uk): Package: debian-installer Version: 20090123 When installing Lenny on a HP DL360 / DL380 server Grub is installed on the wrong device. The server is booted from CD, during network detection, the bnx2 firmware is required. A USB key is inserted to provide the firmware. The disks are then partitioned and the install proceeds, grub is installed on the master boot record. On reboot with the USB stick still connected, GRUB loads and the os is booted from the internal disks. Without the USB drive, the OS refuses to boot. The internal disks are presented as /dev/cciss/c0d0 devices, the USB drive is presented as /dev/sda. Running grub-install to the /dev/cciss/c0d0 device after install resolves the problem but the installer appears to be picking the wrong device when grub is installed Such issues are documented in the errata file. Where? Which errata file? Please be more specific, the software in question (debian-installer, GRUB) certainly demands specificity. This issue indeed pertains to the general goal of having fixed mount names instead of relying on the devices names Whose goal? The Debian Installation manual makes no such mission statement. As this issue is documented and well known, I propose closing it. Again, the issue is _not_ well documented. After googling 'GRUB Error 2' and receiving hits for numerous distributions, hardware setups and configurations, here I am at the Debian Bug database. This bug needs to stay open until it is resolved either by inserting a clear and concise warning or requirements sections in the relevant Debian documentation or making more the installer and/or GRUB more robust, and include step by step workarounds to get the newly installed system to boot. The old system is gone, need to get the new one up ASAP. This is a definite showstopper for installation of a 'stable' release from USB key/memory stick, et.al. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
