Bug#509001: /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server: useless line

2008-12-17 Thread Daniel Bonniot
Package: mldonkey-server
Version: 2.9.5-2
Severity: minor

In /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server, the line:

test -x $WRAPPER || exit 0

does not do anything, since $WRAPPER is not defined. This is cruft
left behind from previous versions. No big deal, but it's confusing at
first, it would only help clarity and maintenance to remove it.

Thanks a lot. Indeed the version numbers are now correct.

To be picky, the link behind 5.0.32-7etch6 actually leads to a page
describing -etch8. While 5.0.32-7etch8 has no link. That seems
illogical.

For the two testing versions, again the non-updated version is a link,
this time linking to that very same version.

Ideally all 4 (5 with sid) versions should link to the page describing
that very version.

Cheers,

Daniel

Bug#506655: Strange things on QA page

2008-11-23 Thread Daniel Bonniot
Package: qa.debian.org

Hi,

I see two strange things on this page:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/mysql-dfsg-5.0.html

1. it lists 5.0.32-7etch6 as the current stable and stable-security
version, while it has been -etch8 for more than 20 days

2. in the latest news section, etch8 does not appear. etch6 appears
twice at different dates, same for etch5.

and on http://packages.debian.org/source/stable/mysql-dfsg-5.0
There it is rightly etch8, but the link to the changelog is dead:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/m/mysql-dfsg-5.0/mysql-dfsg-5.0_5.0.32-7etch8/changelog


I guess this is an infrastructure problem, but I CC the mysql
maintainers for their information and in case they have specific
information.

Thanks a lot to all of you to look at it, and for your amazing work in general!

Cheers,

Daniel

Bug#409462: munin-node: munin should not wake up hard drives

2007-12-08 Thread Daniel Bonniot
This patch would be very nice to include. One thing to pay attention
to is that the "-n standby" parameter for smartctl is only available
since smartmontools 5.37 (etch has 5.36). So I think the debian
package could include this patch and add versioned Conflicts and
Suggests for smartmontools.

Regarding upstream, there is a related task:

http://munin.projects.linpro.no/ticket/137

I had reopened it and submitted a patch before I saw this debian bug
report. My patch uses hdparm -C, which is less elegant, but it will
work with older versions of smartmontools, so maybe it is more
appropriate for upstream at the moment.

Cheers,

Daniel

Bug#454198: nice-mode.el: please restore compatibility with Emacs 21

2007-12-03 Thread Daniel Bonniot
Indeed, I overlooked testing it with emacs21. Sorry about that.

I'm a bit confused by your patch, though. It looks like a patch
against the old version, ant it looks similar to the diff from 0.9.12
to 0.9.13 (but I don't have the time to check precisely right now).

Could you provide a patch against the current version (in 0.9.13)?

Thanks,

Daniel

Bug#408829: backupninja: New mysql feature: backup table structure only

2007-01-28 Thread Daniel Bonniot

Package: backupninja
Version: 0.9.4-6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


A long time ago I submitted a patch (that was accepted) to support the 'ignores'
option for the mysql plugin. That option completely omits certain tables from
the dump.

Here is a new patch that provides another option for mysql: 'nodata'. Qualified 
tables listed in the nodata section will only have their structure dumped. This 
is very useful to backup databases that have cache data you don't want to 
backup, but you still need the strcture of table to exist on restore.


I took the opportunity to refactor the dump command, which was duplicated at
four places.

I had no opportunity to test the vserver mode.


Cheers,

Daniel

Bug#376157: exim4-config: fails to deliver root mail

2006-12-20 Thread Daniel Bonniot


Hi,

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=376157

I understand this bug resulted from a misconfiguration. Problem is, it's not 
that hard to fall into this situation (the submitter did it, and I did it too), 
and the results are quite severe, like root mails being lost, and not so easy to 
debug for a non-guru.


Couldn't something be done to try to prevent this situation? What about adding 
the value of /etc/mailname to the list of local domains? Either automatically 
and silently (any downside to this?) or at least make it the default value in 
the debconf question about local domains.

Bug#331649: nice: libant1.6-java to ant transition

2006-01-25 Thread Daniel Bonniot


Hi Arnaud,

Sorry for not being responsive earlier. I put together a new release for Nice, 
and took the opportunity to fix all the standing packaging bugs at the same 
time. This one was easy ;-)


Unfortunately I cannot build at the moment, as the testing version of kaffe is 
buggy (see bug report on nice). According to dalibor, the unstable should 
work. But I don't have unstable, and I'm hitting some pbuilder bug, so I 
cannot build at all.


If you or anybody could try to build those with the latest kaffe:
http://cristal.inria.fr/~bonniot/debian/
That would be a great help. The Buid-Depends version requirement on kaffe will 
need to be adjusted based on the result of this build. I'll also need a 
sponsor later on.

Bug#348930: debianutils: BROWSER variable not documented

2006-01-22 Thread Daniel Bonniot

Clint Adams wrote:

I propose the following text as a starting point:

The BROWSER variable can be used to select which browser is started by

Are you suggesting that this be added to environ(7) ?


I guess that would be in line with documenting EDITOR there (unless EDITOR is 
more "standard" than BROWSER?). In this case, I guess "add the following to 
/etc/environ" could be replaced by "use" since people reading environ(7) now 
that part already.


Personally, I think it might make sense to have that information in 
sensible-browser(1). The most important is to have that info *somewhere*, and 
to fix the mention that BROWSER is documented in environ(7) when it is not.


Actually, "too much" doc is better than not enough, so it could be mentionned 
in both. Besides, sensible-browser(1) is very short at the moment, so adding 
that paragraph there will not overwhelm the user ;-)

Daniel

Bug#349010: debian-policy: Chapter 6 - Package maintainer scripts: redundant info about exit status

2006-01-20 Thread Daniel Bonniot
Package: debian-policy
Severity: minor


Section 6.1, third paragraph, says that maintainer scripts, should exit 
with non-zero on error. Then section 6.3 (titled "Controlling terminal 
for maintainer scripts"), says: "Each script should return a zero exit 
status for success, or a nonzero one for failure."

First, I don't think this has anything to do with the controlling 
terminal. Second, this info should be regrouped in one place (not merely 
delete the second one, because the first one does not explicitely say it 
should be zero on success). Maybe the best would be to create a new 
section, just after the introduction. Proposal:


6.2 Exit status

The package management system looks at the exit status from these 
scripts. Each script must return a zero exit status for success, 
or a nonzero one for failure.

It is important that they exit with a non-zero status if there 
is an error, so that the package management system can stop its 
processing. For shell scripts this means that you almost always need to 
use set -e (this is usually true when writing shell scripts, in fact). 
It is also important, of course, that they don't exit with a non-zero 
status if everything went well.


Feel free to adjust. Note that I replaced the "should return..." by 
"must return..." as I think it is a requirement, but undo that if I am 
wrong, AINAPE (policy expert!).

Cheers,

Daniel

Bug#348930: debianutils: BROWSER variable not documented

2006-01-19 Thread Daniel Bonniot
Package: debianutils
Version: 2.15.2
Severity: minor


`man sensible-browser` says:
 Documentation of the EDITOR, PAGER, and BROWSER variables in environ(7)

However, BROWSER is not mentionned there (EDITOR and PAGER are):
lyon:/etc# man 7 environ | grep BROWSER
Reformatting environ(7), please wait...
lyon:/etc#

Yes, it's not so hard to guess, but it would be more user friendly 
to have some documentation about BROWSER. This is especially important 
as people using Gnome will automatically have mozilla-browser installed 
(yelp depends on it), and it seems to have precendence when BROWSER is 
not set. This is not what firefox users will want, so they are going to 
look for the solution to change that.

I propose the following text as a starting point:

The BROWSER variable can be used to select which browser is started by 
the sensible-browser command. For instance, to use firefox, add the 
following to /etc/environ:
BROWSER=/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox

Bug#345150: grip: Silently overwrite existing tracks (noartist/unknown_disc)

2005-12-29 Thread Daniel Bonniot
Package: grip
Version: 3.3.1-4
Severity: normal


When grip is ripping and encoding tracks, it silently overwrites 
existing files with the same directory/name combination. I understand 
this might be desired when CDDB information could be retrieved, and you 
are really ripping again the same tracks. However, this is particularly 
annoying when there is no CDDB information (for a custom CD for 
instance). In that case, the tracks will be in noartist/unknown_disc, 
and overwritting means deleting a completely different track, possibly 
losing it irremediably. (I just lost three tracks like that)

I guess a simple and satisfying solution would be to detect the presence 
of a previous noartist/unknown_disc directory, and to generate a new 
one of the form noartist/unknown_disc_N.

I understand this report can be considered a feature request, but since 
it concerns possible data-loss, I leave it at normal severity.

Bug#318275: bittornado: IP changes not handled very well

2005-07-14 Thread Daniel Bonniot
Package: bittornado
Version: 0.3.11-4
Severity: whishlist


Using btdownloadcurses, I noticed that rates (both up and down) would 
once in a while crawl down to zero, then take some time (tens of 
minutes, very roughly) to restart at all. Then I noticed this happened 
when my IP changed. (It changed more often than it should for some 
reason, which is how I found this out, but it's annoying in any case).

In those cases, if I stopped and restarted the client, transfer would 
restart quite soon. So if the client could detect such situation and 
handle it (possibly simply restarting everything), it would make IP 
changes less disruptive than currently.

Bug#286381: pppoeconf: lcp-echo-interval and lcp-echo-failure too weak

2005-07-14 Thread Daniel Bonniot
Package: pppoeconf
Version: 1.7
Followup-For: Bug #286381


I agree with the submitter, these values might need to be upped. I made 
a fresh sarge install, and with the pppoeconf-generated setup (with 20s 
interval and 3 lcp-echo attempts), I was 
getting disconnections due to echo-requests timeouts, every 30mn-1h or 
so. Upping to 4x60s improved things considerably (only one disconnect 
during the whole night, still with activity on the link).

Comparing with a previous install that was not getting such disconnects, 
it differs both in that the previous one used pppoe and not the plugin, 
and had 3x60s lcp-echos. I don't remember tweaking it, so that might be 
the previous default. It would be interesting to check if and why the 
plugin really gets more disconnects, or if the submitter also had 
different setting for lcp-echos.

Bug#285703: whereami, testmii and Sun Gem NIC

2005-05-31 Thread Daniel Bonniot

Andrew McMillan wrote:

Hi,

I've added the relevant "ifconfig $1 up" to testmii in the
next-to-be-released whereami, but some testing suggests that this might
screw up other network cards that are currently working :-(

Do you think this problem is specific to the Sun Gem NIC?  I could
perhaps detect this type of NIC specifically and only do the ifconfig up
if necessary?


No, I also need the ifconfig up on my laptop, with a "Broadcom 4400 
10/100BaseT Ethernet" card.


The question is, which group should be listed? Those that need the ifconfig 
up, or those that can't bear it? Or could the bug be tracked to individual 
card drivers?

Bug#308980: whereami: testdhcp with dhclient3 does not detect failure

2005-05-13 Thread Daniel Bonniot
Package: whereami
Version: 0.3.20
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


When testdhcp uses dhclient3, it does not detect if no DHCP offer was obtained. 
The reason 
for this is that by default dhclient3 will go to the background in that case, 
and return 0. 
It can be made to exit with non-zero instead by passing the -1 command-line 
option.

The patch is simply:

Bug#307767: drupal: Please include extractor.php

2005-05-12 Thread Daniel Bonniot
Finding the script would have been easier for me if you had pointed me
to the contrib CVS. ;-)
Oops, sorry for forgetting this.
Do you think that including actual po files from the CVS might make
sense? BTW, since you appear to be somwhat of an active user, could
you help me with packaging 4.6.0?
I'm not completely familiar with the way drupal handles translations yet. If I 
understand correctly, the user would still need to manually import the po 
files for the languages they want, right? Are the translations stored in the 
database after import? I suppose it also matters how big the po files are.

Regarding packaging, I cannot say I have loads of free time at the moment, but 
if you need help badly I can try to. Concretely, how do you propose to 
collaborate? I can surely beta-test the packages, since I have test 
installation of my site.

Bug#222244: gallery: I see the same hang

2005-04-28 Thread Daniel Bonniot
It sounds like your apache2 setup is not yet configured and that may be
causing the hang.  Selecting to reconfigure apache2 before it has been
setup may be causing the gallery package's post installation script to
hang.  I haven't yet been able to reproduce this issue but I'll see what
I can do to reproduce it.
As far as I can see, apache2 is working fine, at least from the same machine 
(it does give that warning at each restart).

I assume you had a previously configured 1.4.4-pl6-1 package installed,
correct?
Yes, I had played with gallery before the upgrade (haven't been using it 
seriously yet, but I did the basic configuration).

Now if I visit the gallery page on localhost, it says gallery needs 
reconfiguration.

The hanged setup is still, in case you can tell me what else to investigate.

Bug#300953: nice: FTBFS: halts on "nice.tools.compiler.console: parsing"

2005-04-02 Thread Daniel Bonniot
tags 300953 pending
thanks
The error you get in sid is due to a bug in kaffe. I reported it upstream, and 
it has been fixed in kaffe CVS. Hopefully they will release 1.1.5 soon, and we 
can close this report. I'm also trying to make sure it will make it possible 
to upload a more recent version of nice in Debian.

Not assigning the bug to kaffe to avoid bothering the maintainers, since the 
bug is already analysed an fixed upstream.

Bug#300953: nice: FTBFS: halts on "nice.tools.compiler.console: parsing"

2005-03-23 Thread Daniel Bonniot
Hi Roland,
Thanks for your report. Which runtime did you use to try to build? The 
transcript points to kaffe, but the reports says:
> pn  kaffe | java-virtual-machine Not found.
which seems to imply that kaffe is not installed. Version numbers would be 
useful too.

In any case, I am aware that free runtimes have a hard time build recent 
versions of Nice (which is why the version in Debian is outdated). I'm in the 
process of testing several options and filing bug reports. If anybody can 
help, please let me know, that would be very useful, since I'm also quite busy 
working on upstream.

Cheers,
Daniel

Bug#297841: exim4-config: Local rewrite stopped working after upgrade in sarge

2005-03-05 Thread Daniel Bonniot
Still, I think the following behaviour is also a common one: outside mail 
sent by smarthost, local mail delivered in spool; no incomming mail. This 
is typical with a dialup machine where users have their mailboxes outside 
the system (on an IMAP server for instance). Does the "mail sent by 
smarthost; received via SMTP or fetchmail" give this behaviour?

Yes, it does. It _allows_ incoming mail but does not require it. And
the SMTP daemon will only listen on 127.0.0.1 by default, i.e. the
local loopback interface.
  hth, cu andreas
Thanks a lot. I chose the "mail sent by smarthost; received via SMTP or 
fetchmail", and it indeed seems to be doing what I want.

I think there are two points to consider:
1) sarge upgrade. I'm afraid I'm only one who's going to be hit by this 
change. Basically, when your mail box is on an outside server, I does seem 
logical not to select "received by SMTP or fetchmail" but instead "no local 
mail". It looks like this cannot be fixed automatically (since for some people 
keeping the same option is desired) but there really should be some big 
warning about possibly needing to change one's setup. Do you plan to do so?

Which brings us to:
2) debconf. As said above, one can be confused by the current list of options. 
I think the "internet site" idea is quite good: give a short description of 
the type of host. Then after ";" explain more technically what will happen in 
that setup.
Would it make sense for the second line to start with "dial-up;" and the third 
line with "LAN;" ?
There might be better terms, but this should give the idea to most people (in 
particular, not to chose the 3rd if the smart host is not a local server).

Bug#297841: exim4-config: Local rewrite stopped working after upgrade in sarge

2005-03-04 Thread Daniel Bonniot
However, it seems to me that when a mail is sent to a local user, it is not 
a very sensible thing to do to forward it to the smart host as is, since it 
will surely fail. Shouldn't the default configuration do it differently?

It won't surely fail in the situation that the local host is in a
company network and does not have local mailboxes.
OK, I understand the behaviour makes sense in that setup, and I suppose it's 
not an uncommon setup.

Still, I think the following behaviour is also a common one: outside mail sent 
by smarthost, local mail delivered in spool; no incomming mail. This is

Bug#297841: exim4-config: Local rewrite stopped working after upgrade in sarge

2005-03-03 Thread Daniel Bonniot
Thanks for the answer.
Hello,
Yes, that is caused by
- Make exim work correctly if dc_readhost ("visible, rewritten domain name
  for local users") ends up as part of local_domain, which happens if
  the same value is chosen for mailname and dc_readhost. This
  implemented by new router, hub_user_smarthost. Previously users were
  required to use something different (my.invalid.domain) for mailname.
and I actually consider this to be a correct change, fixing a bug. 
I believe you that a bug was fixed, I don't know enough exim to comment on 
that.
However, it seems to me that when a mail is sent to a local user, it is not a 
very sensible thing to do to forward it to the smart host as is, since it will 
surely fail. Shouldn't the default configuration do it differently?

> If I select "no local mail" I actually don't want local delivery.
Do you want mails to local users to fail?
This is important, because security checks, apt-changelogs, and surely other 
things are sent to a local user (root) by default.

Cheers,
Daniel
