No, please don't. It is still used by some of my programs and a few people

Can you please elaborate? The statement above is not true (i.e. it doesn't
ship with a PowerPC binary - I do not even have access to a PowerPC platform).

Both packages are still in use, but I'm not actively maintaining/developing
either anymore.

orca is definitely obsolete and should be removed.

Tinysnmp should stay. There is nothing really wrong with it and most, if not
all of the RC bugs has to do with orca.

Just out of interest, I am still here and still keen to maintain all of
these packages (you'll see that I do upload packages occassionally), but I'm
just very busy right now.

Unfortunately it doesn't really make sense to hand over these packages to
somebody else either as I wrote all of this and the maintainer are likely to
get frustrated with me.

With regards to orca, I am actually busy with a complete rewrite, so this
will get fixed one day...

Bug#333915: Unsatisfiable build dep on librrd0-dev

2005-10-14 Thread Abraham vd Merwe
Hi Luk   >@2005.10.14_14:10:42_+0200

I don't think so. librrd2 is not backwards compatible to librrd0, so it is
not as simple as updating the build dependency.

Also, librrd0-dev is still in Debian for that very reason.

If you don't have any objection to this, I'm going to close the bug.

Bug#327610: libabz: FTBFS: iptables.h:49: error: 'iptables_add' aliased to external symbol 'batch_add'

2005-09-11 Thread Abraham vd Merwe
Hi Kurt  >@2005.09.11_13:27:25_+0200

On what architecture/platform is this?

The undefined symbols are from another module compiled before iptables.o.
Please check if there were any errors/warnings while building batch.o.

Bug#293143: tinysnmp-agent crashes with signal 15

2005-02-09 Thread Abraham vd Merwe
Hi Jacco >@2005.02.01_14:51:51_+0200

Could you please send me the output of the following:

snmpwalk -cpublic -v1 192.168.1.254

(i.e. walk the tree of that router using net-snmp's snmpwalk)

Also, could you please tell me on which ObjectID it dies?

Also, if possible, could you run tinysnmpd in the foreground while doing the
tinysnmpwalk command. As follows:

/usr/sbin/tinysnmpd -f crash.log -l noisy /etc/tinysnmp.conf /usr/lib/tinysnmp

Then when it crashes, send me the crash.log file.

Thanks

Bug#293403: Segfaults or aborts with assertion.

2005-02-09 Thread Abraham vd Merwe
Hi Steve >@2005.02.09_14:52:31_+0200

Thanks for the info. I'll try to relink/submit all my packages linked
against libevent tonight (if not, tomorrow)

> Recompiling potion against current libevent headers seems to be enough to
