Bug#1062983: Developers Reference in A4 instead of US Letter
Package: developers-reference Version: 13.4 I just downloaded the developers-reference from https://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals and I noticed that it is being formatted in US Letter. While this may be the preferred format for US users, the rest of the world is using A4 sized pages. I am not sure if there is any recommendation in Debian to choose a paper size for documentation. I went over some common Debian user and developer manuals and noticed that there is a mix of paper sized, but the A4 format seems to be most common: * https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/debian-faq.en.pdf (A4) * https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/refcard/refcard.en.pdf (A4) * https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/debian-reference.en.pdf (A4) * https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/hamradio-maintguide/hamradio-maintguide.en.pdf (letter) * https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/policy.pdf (letter) * https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/debmake-doc.en.pdf (A4) * https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/maint-guide.en.pdf (A4) May I request, that: a) We switch to A4 as the default format for the developers-reference since that is the format used by most of the world. b) We consider offering both formats on the Debian manuals page, so that users can choose their preferred format. In general it would be nice to have a consistent solution for all documents. I often like to print the manuals and then its a bit odd to see the large US letter margins on an A4 page. Given that all PDFs are build automated pipelines, its probably possible that we automatically build both formats and introduce a general mechanism on https://www.debian.org/doc/ that allows users to choose their preferred format?

Bug#964785: Package accepted
Hi all, the shutter 0.99.2-3 package was accepted into unstable [1]. Thanks to everyone who helped to make this possible. If I am not mistaken, then packages automatically migrate to testing after 7 days in unstable. We might just barely miss the Debian Import Freeze for Ubuntu 22.04 which starts on 24.02 [2]. I think once the package has migrated to testing we could ask for a freeze exception on the Ubuntu side [3] and then shutter would finally be back to both Debian and Ubuntu.

Bug#955619: openjdk-11-jre-headless: failure to install due to non-existant /usr/share/man/man1/ directory
Hello all, here is some additional context. I think this bug is present in all openjdk versions, not only openjdk-11. It was [recently fixed][1] for openjdk-8 which is [maintained separately][2] from the [repository in salsa][3] which includes openjdk-11 and above. The affected source of the [post install script][7] for openjdk and later can be found in the salsa repository. The issue is that this script does not check if man1 exits. The FSH standard [requires /usr/bin/man to exists (see FSH 4.11.2)][6], [but not subfolders such as man1 (see FSH 4.11.6 and footnote 32)][5]. This means the openjdk package is not compatible with the FSH. In a docker image this folder does not exists causing the update-alternatives call to fail. A patch has been created recently for openjdk-8 and can be found in commit cfae7df8a6f6710ae97c582a42785c136b0e6f73 of [2]. That commit fixes the issue by adding this line to the post install script: test -d /usr/share/man/man1 || mkdir -p /usr/share/man/man1 I raised a [merge request][4] to port the fix to the salsa repository, so it can be applied to openjdk-11 and later. I hope that helps to fix this issue.

Bug#704484: Upgrading from Squeeze to Wheezy breaks proftpd
Hi, I would like to confirm this bug. The problem is actually bug #654694 [1]. Proftpd is checking that it is linked against the exact openssl version including minor versions. Debian ships Openssl version 1.0.1e, but because proftpd was compiled against 1.0.1e it does not start. In fact it becomes impossible to start the proftpd daemon if the tls/ssl module is activated. I have verified this on a clean install of debian testing.

Hi Anton, I have just uploaded the package again (I added -Wl,--as-needed, to the src/Makefile, that fixed the issue).

Bug#695574: pbuilder and packaging
Hi Alberto, still interested? I have uploaded a new package to mentors today: https://mentors.debian.net/package/tilda It builds fine on my Ubuntu, but when I try to repeat it with pbuilder then it fails. I assume the build dependencies in debian/control are wrong, but I didnt have time to learn using pbuilder today. Maybe you can help me with that? The debian/ stuff is now in a branch on my github repository (tilda-debian-1-1), so you can simply checkout this branch and start building from there. Also if I run `lintian -I -E --pedantic` then I get some additional warning which I havent had time to fix yet.

I have created a package last weekend and just finished it. The package can be found here: 1.1.4: http://mentors.debian.net/package/tilda I marked all bugs that this package closes in the change log file, I also fixed a few bugs upstream that I noticed during when I created the package.

Bug#695574: Tilda package
Hi Alberto, the current maintainers are Davide Truffa and Filippo Giunchedi, Filippo has already mailed me in October that the does not maintain tilda anymore and has no intention to do this in the future, David Truffa is simply not replying to any mails that I have sent him since October, so I have to conclude that he either changed his Email address, or is simply not interested anymore.

Bug#701477: Use dedicated subfolders
I suggest to use dedicated subfolders in each of the XDG folders. For example: XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lintian/lintianrc or simply XDG_CONFIG_HOME/lintian/rc This will make it easier to add additional configuration files in the future and collect them in the lintian folder. Besides that, you can have a look at https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/XDGConfigFolders there is an extensive collection of Gnome and NON-Gnome applications that have implemented the XDG-Specs in the past, including explanations about how to implement this spec and why its useful.

Bug#695574: TAG: tilda -- A Gtk based drop down terminal for Linux and Unix
Package: wnpp Severity: standard Hi, I am currently maintaining the tilda source code. The original author does not intend to continue working on it, but I am in touch with him. The old package has not been maintained since about three years and besides a few known bugs it is only for GTK+2, I have ported tilda to GTK+3, and added some features and fixed some bugs. Besides the point that there is a new version available, there is another thing. I have tried to contact the current maintainers of tilda in Debian, and it seems that they are both not maintaining the package anymore. Since I have currently no experience in packaging I would like to request a mentor that can help me package the new tilda version and get it into Debian. The source can be found here: https://github.com/lanoxx/tilda (GTK+3, maintained, up to date) https://github.com/tsloughter/tilda (GTK+2, unmaintained, working but with known bugs) If there is any desire to keep a GTK+2 version, then I could possibly fix a few known bugs in the GTK+2 branch, but for now it would be nice to get the GTK+3 version into Debian. It would be very nice to find someone with packaging experience who can create a new package for tilda and upload it to Debian stable.
