Bug#772657: ttf-cjk-compact: build-depends on ruby1.8
* Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org [141209 18:41]: Ralf Treinen trei...@pps.univ-paris-diderot.fr (2014-12-09): Source: ttf-cjk-compact Version: 1.20 Severity: serious Tags: jessie User: trei...@debian.org Usertags: edos-uninstallable Hi, ttf-cjk-compact build-depends on ruby1.8, which does not exist in jessie. In fact, ruby1.8 was removed from testing on 2014-03-13. It really would be nice not to remove packages that are still build-depended on, especially when no bug reports are being filed. One month into the freeze isn't exactly the right time to attempt a 1.8 to 1.9 (or whatever else is current this week) ruby transition in d-i packages. AFAICT, ttf-cjk-compact 1.20 is not in jessie or sid. ttf-cjk-compact 1.23 from jessie/sid depends on ruby, not ruby1.8. From here it looks like there was no bug filed because 1.21 already fixed this issue (in 2013) without us needing to file an additional bug. Best, -- ,''`.

It's still in sid's Sources file, but marked as Extra-Source-Only. AFAICS, that's due to us having bumped stable's debian-installer-netboot-images (which was quite legitimately built against ttf-cjk-compact 1.20 and ruby1.8) in to sid and jessie during the last point release. rmadison and dak ls (on coccia) both don't show any indication of ttf-cjk-compact 1.20 being 'in' jessie/sid. The BTS also thinks 1.20 as being in stable, and 1.23 being the jessie/sid version. apt-cache showsrc was showing me an 1.20 source package, but I disregarded it with I may have wheezy sources configured in this VM. If the common tools fail at showing this, then I'm really at a loss of tools and would like to request improvements to these tools. This is not a bug in the package, nor anything that can be fixed other than by a source upload of d-i-n-i for sid. I'm therefore going to close this report. (In general, it's worth checking such things aren't purely E-S-O: yes.) Thanks for the explanation. C. -- ,''`.

Bug#769736: debian-installer: please provide 'Other' option for time zones
Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist Please provide an easy way to select any other timezone apart from those matching the selected region. I'd suggest adding 'Other' to the short time zone list, which would jump to the full list. I often just hit enter on the region selection (defaults to US) to get 'American English' as the keyboard layout, but then I still want Etc/UTC as the TZ. Thank you for your consideration, -- ,''`.

Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist Rescue mode currently asks the user if she wants to mount a separate /boot partition. The same should probably happen for /usr.

Stop offering /usr in the partition usage list?
Hello debian-boot, while trying out a daily jessie d-i snapshot, I noticed that the where-do-you-want-to-mount-this-partition menu offers /usr. Given current troubles with a split /usr and possible future directions, maybe it'd be a good idea to stop offering this? (Experts can still enter /usr manually...) Christian -- ,''`.

lenny Installer with PXE on HP DL360G5 / bnx2
Hello! We've got quite a few machines from HP, of type ProLiant DL360 G5. We used to install etch using the etch installer netboot media + pxelinux. This worked quite fine. Now I'm testing lenny (beta2 installer), and I found that the network cards in these servers (bnx2) seem to require a firmware, which is not in the installer image, but is available seperately. As the firmware is not in the image, and I'm booting from a PXE server, installing just doesn't work (without plugging in an USB key, but that makes booting from PXE quite useless). Is this the intended behaviour? How is one supposed to install from the network/PXE on such common hardware?

Please use the daily builds instead of beta2 to do your tests. A lot of issues present in the beta 2 have been addressed since. Will try again with those. Is this the intended behaviour? Yes: Debian is 100% free software and the firmware needed for bnx2 is not. The other option would have been to completely remove the bnx2 module from kernel shipped by Debian. I fully understand. Why was this then OK for etch, but not for lenny? (Not wanting to start a discussion about this, just want to know why things have changed.) How is one supposed to install from the network/PXE on such common hardware? You will need to add the firmware to the initrd.gz available on your TFTP server.
