Bug#793119: Debian Installer doesn't let me configure locale en_US + time zone UTC

2015-07-21 Thread Alexander List
Package: debian-installer
Version: 20150718
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i

I just tried to setup a dev VM using this netinst ISO:

debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso   2015-07-21 12:30  245M

I *assume* it's version 20150718 as that predates the daily build by 3
days and has been migrated to testing according to tracker.d.o.

The problem:

I am in a multinational, multi-language environment spread across the
globe, where by convention servers are configured to en_US, timezone
UTC. We use US keyboards no matter where on the planet we are.

In earlier versions of d-i, there was a menu to select the time zone,
and hitting "End" would get me to Etc/Utc which was at the bottom of the
list.

Now, in d-i, I select

Language: English
Country: United States
Keymap: American English

Then I enter the root password, user, username, password, and then have
to configure the clock.

The only options I have are Eastern, Central, Mountain, ... Samoa.

Does that seriously mean people who configure a locale other than C in
their system cannot set the clock to use UTC in d-i?

Sounds like a rather severe limitation to me, and it's not obvious how
to work around it but to fix it post installation ...

And yes, I invested 15min googling the problem and didn't find an answer.

FWIW, this difference also appears in Ubuntu 15.10 daily builds, where I
noticed it first (15.04 doesn't have the problem). Today I reproduced it
in Debian.

Let me know if I can help.

# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier

I set IMAGES="/var/lib/boot/images"

Without the patch, update-grub(2) passes without errors, but the
bootloader fails to find memdisk.
With the patch, update-grub2 errs with:

MEMDISK is set to /memdisk ...

Bug#685575: ITP: opentracker -- An open and free bittorrent tracker

2013-06-18 Thread Alexander List
Control: retitle -1 ITP: opentracker -- An open and free bittorrent tracker
Control: severity -1 wishlist
Tags: ITP

* Package name: opentracker
* Version : 0.20120528
* Upstream Author : Dirk Engling 
* URL : http://erdgeist.org/arts/software/opentracker
* License : Beer ware
* Programming Lang: C
* Description : An open and free bittorrent tracker

opentracker is a open and free bittorrent tracker project. It aims for
minimal resource usage and is intended to run at your wlan
router. Currently it is deployed as an open and free tracker
instance. Read our free and open tracker blog and announce your
torrents there (but do not hesitate to setup your own free trackers!).

Following up on the license discussion, 

a) it was established that Beer ware is DFSG-free
b) I contacted the author and asked him if he's OK with adding a LICENSE file 
declaring the software as Beer Ware.
   The answer is yes, as he made clear in the forum post mentioned above and as 
it's declared
   on the opentracker web site. We have more than 3 yes already, so licensing 
issue *resolved*.

Suggested contents of LICENSE file:

/*
 * 
 * "THE BEER-WARE LICENSE" (Revision 42):
 * Dirk Engling  wrote this file. As long as you retain
 * this notice you can do whatever you want with this stuff. If we meet some
 * day, and you think this stuff is worth it, you can buy me a beer in return
 *   Dirk Engling
 * 
 */

This passes the devscripts' licensecheck.

I would thus go ahead and start packaging opentracker if there are no 
objections, co-maintainers welcome.

I was inactive for quite a while, so I have to catch up on a lot of things like 
collab-maint etc. - please be patient with me ;)

Bug#699946: dput: Add a way to specify additional rsync options

2013-02-06 Thread Alexander List
Package: dput
Version: 0.9.6.2ubuntu2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

I noticed that dput has issues for ppl behind DSL lines, with stalling
uploads
using ftp, scp or even rsync.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dput/+bug/193848

I observed this also doing manual scp, ftp and rsync, so it's just a matter
of poor congestion handling by the router, and not necessarily a bug in
dput.

However, I've added an option to the rsync method to specify additional
options
and added a hint in the manpage on how to use this feature with --bwlimit=50

In my case, limiting the bandwidth to half what's available upstream
mitigated
the problem. I assume this is useful for others as well.

This addresses the request in #358195 at least for rsync. However, it might
be useful to implement this also for the other methods in a future release.

The change is available here:

https://github.com/alexlist/dput/commit/ddf60e03b6ece4533b1627227680024acbc16c0f

Please consider applying it upstream.

Bug#662894: Default Locale-Based Chinese Mode Setting is Inconvenient to Hong Kong Users

2012-03-06 Thread Alexander List

Package: ibus-table
Version: 1.3.9.20110827-1

Please refer to LP as well for explanations:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ibus-table/+bug/947908

BACKGROUND
en_HK is popular among Hong Kong GNU/Linux users. However, according to 
current practice of IBUS, Simplified Chinese mode would be used by 
default. This is very annoying for these users.


PINYIN CANGJIE DIFFERENCE
Pinyin for Simplified and Traditional Chinese characters are the same. 
If a Traditional Chinese user meets Simplified Chinese mode, she can 
still express her meaning in most cases. However, Simplified and 
Traditional Chinese characters generally do not have same Cangjie code. 
A Traditional Chinese user would meet a very hard time in Simplified 
Chinese mode because she cannot get expected character by typing her 
familiar Cangjie code.

BTW, Cangjie and related Quick is still very popular in Hong Kong.

Bug#513239: Inconsistency with InnoDB upon TRUNCATE TABLE within transaction

2009-01-27 Thread Alexander List
Package: mysql-server-5.1
Version: 5.1.30-2
Architecture: i386

When issuing a TRUNCATE TABLE within a transaction, I managed to get an 
inconsistency between COUNT(*) and SELECT *.

Expected behaviour: TRUNCATE within a transaction should cause an error, as it 
is not transaction safe. 5.0.51a-21 would result in the COUNT(*) being 0, which 
is also not the desired behaviour.

I verified this with MySQL 5.1.30-2 (Win32), and also with the 5.0.51a-21 
Debian package.

Steps to reproduce:

1) No changes were made to /etc/mysql/my.cnf, /var/lib/mysql is brand new 
(empty)
2) $ wget http://downloads.mysql.com/docs/world.sql.gz
3) $ mysqladmin -uroot create world
4) $ zcat world.sql.gz |mysql world -uroot
5a) $ mysql world -uroot
6a) mysql> prompt mysql-session-1 \d #\c >\_
5b) on another shell, do $ mysql world -uroot
6b) mysql> prompt mysql-session-2 \d #\c >

The rest is the actual conversation with the two mysql shells.

Debian seems to be one of the few distributions without a packaged 
version of this driver. I intend to fix this :-).

REINER SCT mention that they're working on a Debian package in the 
README file. I contacted them about the package along with a dependency 
issue, but didn't get an answer on the packaging thing or a planned 
release date. As it's LGPL licensed, I think it makes sense to package 
it right away.

This library is needed for PKI applications using the CT-API[1] with the 
ReinerSCT USB card readers. I've successfully tested the lib with 
SecCommerce's SecSigner300 Java Applet[2], which is used by a large 
financial group here in Austria. In some cases, the applet commits 
suicide which will kill Firefox :-/. I'll debug this ASAP and ask 
SecCommerce to fix it. One of these cases is a running pcscd[3] - 
probably there's something wrong with the locking mechanism for the 
ttyUSBn port.

PKI is starting to fly here in Austria, as major banks, the postal 
service and other organizations are playing registration offices for a 
large certification service provider (A-Trust)[4]. Applications include 
of course all the bank transactions that were formerly using PINs and

Bug#292315: libbind-confparser-perl: unable to handle masters with port declarations

2005-01-26 Thread Alexander List
Package: libbind-confparser-perl
Version: 0.95-3
The parser is unable to handle masters with port declarations in a slave 
zone specification.

This example won't be parsed correctly:
---
zone "example.com" {
 type slave;
 file "sec/example.com";
 masters port 52 {
   1.2.3.4;
   2.3.4.5;
   };
   };
---
leads to
parse error: Expected Fwuh?  `', saw 'port' following `masters' at 
:4 at /usr/share/perl5/BIND/Conf_Parser.pm line 23

This one is parsed correctly:
zone "example.com" {
 type slave;
 file "sec/example.com";
 masters {
   1.2.3.4;
   2.3.4.5;
   };
   };
Happy hacking...
