Re: [Pkg-xfce-devel] Reverting to GNOME for jessie's default desktop
Hi, Lennart Sorensen: it needs buttons on windows that people expect to see where they expect to see them You mean left vs. right side? Would Debian be willing to make gnome3 have different defaults than upstream in the interest of actually being useable to new users who are used to other operating systems and desktops? People who are so afraid of new stuff to learn that they won't even figure out how to close a window are not Gnome's (or XFCE's, for that matter) target audience. If you want that, install KDE and tell it to use one of the let's-mimic-Windows/MacOS themes. -- -- Matthias Urlichs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Bug#262344: debian-installer: Please add gnutls11 and gcrypt11 packages
Hi,
Steve Langasek:
Because libgcrypt11 is available in sarge already, I've made this change
in an NMU of debootstrap, so you should be able to upload opencdk8 with
the new dependency without breaking anything.
$ cd debootstrap-0.2.41-0.1
$ find . -type f|xargs grep gcrypt11
$
Not yet, apparently.

Bug#262344: debian-installer: Please add gnutls11 and gcrypt11 packages
Package: debian-installer Severity: important -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 [2004-07-29] Accepted gnutls11 1.0.16-4 (i386 source) This means that gnutls11 will enter testing in time for the freeze. ** Please add libgnutls11 and libgcrypt11 ** ** to the list of packages installed by d-i. ** Rationale: cf. http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2004/07/msg00075.html and followups. Executive summary: I want to convert as many packages as possible, including libopencdk8 and exim4, to use gnutls11/gcrypt11 instead of the obsolete gnutls10/gcrypt7 packages which are unmaintained (and warned against) by Upstream, for multiple reasons. As their Debian maintainer, in my opinion the proper label for the situation we would be in if a nontrivial security problem should appear in one of these packages is nightmare. It is therefore important (hence the priority of this bug ;-) that we take all possible steps to avoid actually using these old packages in Sarge. Thus, please apply.

You meant to file a bug on debootstrap,
*sigh*. :-/
and it is too late to make changes to debootstrap for the next d-i
release, which will probably be the final release for sarge.
That would be unfortunate -- I'd _really_ like to get gcrypt7 out of the
dependency chain.

Bug#262344: debian-installer: Please add gnutls11 and gcrypt11 packages
Hi,
Martin Michlmayr:
libgnutls11 was added to debootstrap a few days ago (10 and 11 are
installed),
Really? It's not even in testing yet, was not built on all arches until
today, and somebody (vorlon*) told me it needs to be in testing before
being eligible for debootstrap.
but libgcrypt7 is installed instead of 10/11. Is that a
major problem, Matthias?
libgcrypt7 has the same Upstream asks us not to distribute this
unsupported and buggy crud in Sarge PLEASE problem that gnutls10 has.
In addition, gnutls11 depends on opencdk8 which still depends on
gcrypt7. Obviously I can't change that before gcrypt11 is installed by
debootstrap.
I'm probably repeating myself here, but IMHO every step we can take
towards the state of no package in Sarge uses gcrypt7 or gnutls10
is a Good Thing.
The changelog from gcrypt7 to 11 does contain a bunch of memory
leakages, a doubly-freed lock of secure memory, and other equally
interesting things.
Thus, we're trading off minor inconvenience now against the possibility
of major problems later.
I'm somewhat sorry that I didn't get around to doing this a week
earlier. I needed time to become familiar with the packages and to
actually understand the nontrivial library interdependencies. :-/

Bug#244539: firewire not supported
Hi,
Christian Perrier:
No idea if this is relevant, but I was about pesting everyone on
Firewire support because beta3 does not currently work on my Dell X200
(which has an external IEEE1394 CD reader)...
The CD reader should be accessible via standard sbp2, i.e. SCSI.

Hi,
Christian Perrier:

Well, at least ot out of the box with beta3 (ie no autodetection).
True -- I was talking only about the driver you'd need. I do know that
d-i doesn't load the necessary firewire modules...
Did you try talking to the CD reader on an already-installed Linux
system? It's possible that the CD reader uses some sort of non-standard
command set and/or device identifier. :-/

Bug#245465: debian-installer: Use tmpfs for /tmp
Hi,
Martin Michlmayr:
But I suppose d-i doesn't automatically use tmps for /tmp when you
have much memory?
Well, as soon as d-i is taught to create a /tmp in RAM if none already
exists (and if the machine has more than X MBytes of RAM), partman may
be taught to not create /tmp if the machine has more than Y MBytes.
X = Y, obviously.

Hi,
Is raw1394 needed? If so, I'll gladly add it.
It isn't (neither 2.4 nor 2.6).
You need sbp2, ohci1394, and sd_mod.

Hi,
Colin Watson:
Is raw1394 needed? If so, I'll gladly add it.
It isn't (neither 2.4 nor 2.6).
Is it good for anything in the context of d-i (so is it worth leaving it
in)?
I don't think so. raw1394's only interface is /dev/raw1394; AFAIK
nothing in d-i accesses it, nor can I think of a good reason why
you'd want to.

Bug#230107: debian-installer: debootstrap needs sleep
Hi, Thomas Arendsen Hein: /usr/sbin/debootstrap: 1: sleep: not found This message is somewhat mysterious. This happens after: Errors were encountered while processing: libopencdk8 libgnutls7 exim4-daemon-light I ran into that one just now, too, on x86. This happens because two libraries are missing which debootstrap doesn't yet know anything about. It might be a good idea to check its list for completeness, before building CD images. In fact, AFAIK the infrastructure now exists which would let us just mention a few base packages and let the packager pull in all the dependencies automatically..? -- Matthias Urlichs | noris network AG | http://smurf.noris.de/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#217775: choose-mirror: Debconf templates polishing
Hi,
IMHO better (most people don't know about network topology and we shouldn't
make them feel insecure if they don't):
_Description: Use mirror from:
Please select a Debian mirror. You should use a mirror in your country or
region if you do not know which mirror has the best Internet connection to
you.
Replacing the as with a semicolon sounds better to me:
_Description: Protocol for files download:
Please select the file download protocol. If unsure, select http; it is less
prone to problems involving firewalls.
