Bug#685302: Installing html package with Python 3

[Richard Jones]

 Of course there is then a deeper problem, Python 3 has an html package
 in the standard distribution, at least on Debian Unstable. :-( 

Thanks for the info. I'm looking at making things better but I think to do so 
I'll want to move my html package to html.format using the new package 
namespace support in Python 3.3 - an idea I'll test out once 3.3rc1 is released.

Bug#606622: udev: please add a way to override warn_if_interactive

[Richard Jones]

Package: udev
Version: 164-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch


When I boot a Debian appliance for libguestfs (http://libguestfs.org)
the boot sits and waits for 60 seconds while it prints the large
warn_if_interactive warning (when starting udev service).

The warning is wrong: although the tty is /dev/ttyS0, the service is
not being started interactively.

Therefore please provide a way that we can bypass this warning.  A
suggested patch will be attached to this bug report.

Bug#530427: ITP: libguestfs -- library for accessing and modifying guest disk images

[Richard Jones]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Richard Jones rjo...@redhat.com


* Package name: libguestfs
  Version : 1.0.31
  Upstream Author : Richard W.M. Jones rjo...@redhat.com
* URL : http://et.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs/
* License : LGPL
  Programming Lang: C, Shell script, various others
  Description : library for accessing and modifying guest disk images

(Copied from the website, which best summarises this ...)

libguestfs is a library for accessing and modifying guest disk
images. Amongst the things this is good for: making batch
configuration changes to guests, viewing and editing files inside
guests, getting disk used/free statistics (see also: virt-df),
migrating between virtualization systems (see also: virt-p2v),
performing partial backups, performing partial guest clones,
cloning guests and changing registry/UUID/hostname info, and
much else besides.

libguestfs uses Linux kernel and qemu code, and can access any
type of guest filesystem that Linux and qemu can, including but
not limited to: ext2/3/4, btrfs, FAT and NTFS, LVM, many different
disk partition schemes, qcow, qcow2, vmdk.

libguestfs provides ways to enumerate guest storage (eg. partitions,
LVs, what filesystem is in each LV, etc.). It can also run commands
in the context of the guest. Also you can upload and download files
and directories.

libguestfs is a library that can be linked with C and C++ management
programs (or management programs written in OCaml, Perl, Python,
Ruby, Java or Haskell). You can also use it from shell scripts or
the command line.

Bug#526436: libperl4caml-ocaml-dev: Using regexp fails with www_mechanize.follow_link

[Richard Jones]

I don't think calling 'eval' is a good way to solve this, since the
argument could contain all sorts of things, not just a well-behaved
regexp.  We need to somehow convert the string to a regexp using a
function from perlguts.

Unfortunately I could work out how to actually do this, so it needs a
bit more examination from someone with the relevant Perl skills.

Bug#526442: libperl4caml-ocaml-dev: Can't use threads with www_mechanize

[Richard Jones]

I'm highly doubtful this would ever work.  Perl contains lots of
global state.  It's unclear if it's even safe to call this state from
separate threads even if it's locked.

You'd at least have to build Perl with the MULTIPLICITY option
(perlguts q.v.) and change perl4caml dramatically to support it.

FWIW in Fedora I just packaged the file in

 I assumed that when the program exits normaly that all memory will be

I got a bit rusty on the rpath issue [1,2], but I do think that in

We'll probably do an rpath for this in Fedora, since it seems to be

Bug#479152: ITP: core -- Jane Street Capital's alternative standard library for OCaml

[Richard Jones]

Given what Markus said:

 Note that communication _among_ machines with different endianness,
 assuming that they all have the same byte layout, should work, too,
 with the current binary protocol.  At least if you do not mix 32/64bit
 machines there...

I'm going to compile bin-prot for the other architectures anyway, just
as it is.  I think I will punt on the problem of changing bin-prot to
do byte-swabbing to someone who is interested in this
inter-architecture case.

(But I'll document the shortcoming, of course).

Bug#479152: ITP: core -- Jane Street Capital's alternative standard library for OCaml

[Richard Jones]

A few other points, from the Fedora point of view.

- We think 'core' is a bit too generic a name and risks some
confusion.  If you would like to coordinate with us, then we can
decide on a different name.  (corelib? janestcore? - I admit I don't
have a good suggestion).

- For the description, you might want to use the Fedora description,
which is in this file, under '%description':

  http://www.annexia.org/tmp/ocaml/ocaml-core.spec

- If you have patches either to make bin-prot big-endian or to excise
those bits of core that depend on bin-prot, then I'll take them, or
try to help.

 Same problem here, my intention was to call it ocaml-core, but the idea
 of pressing Jane St for a better name together is neat. janestcore
 sounds nice to me.  If you feel so, go ahead and mail them with our
 concerns; please put me in Cc.

 A bit too long for our standards, but in fact I have already grabbed
 your module summary posted to the caml list and put it in README.Debian
 (with the due kudos). It looks like that summary is exactly what you've
 put in the Fedora description.

Note there was a typo: at the end it says 'inigroups', it should read
'initgroups' (the name of the C function).

  - If you have patches either to make bin-prot big-endian or to excise
  those bits of core that depend on bin-prot, then I'll take them, or

 I haven't yet attacked the big-endian bits, but I'm working on a patch
 to make bin-prot dependency optional and detected at compile time. Will
 mail you back when I've something fully working.

OK :-)

 Why? I would have thought it is close to *policy* to provide
 libraries for both static and dynamic link. 

Please don't get me wrong here: I want the patch in OCaml, I want
Fedora to follow Debian's packaging decisions where possible, and I
want to have mod_caml  ocamlnet + Apache working.  But this patch is
a big potential change to the API and it can't go in to Fedora unless
INRIA accept it upstream, and that concern overrides other issues.
Hopefully INRIA will indicate that they want to accept this in which
case it can go in to Fedora straightaway.

 Apparently upstream do not care a lot about this issue, but I think the

 use where PIC code is required.

 Richard: do you perhaps already have a patch for this in Red Hat?

No I don't actually.  It's strange because I didn't hit this bug at
all when compiling ocamlnet for Fedora.

Unfortunately Fedora policy stops me from incorporating this fix:
http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=3866

OCaml first.

But it's desperately needed, so please vote for INRIA to include it :-)

 Are you building the Apache connector? The bug manifests itself only if
 you're building that, and only on architecture in which PIC code is
 actually different than non-PIC code.

Bug#390557: wordpress: Setting Options - General - Tagline to Japanese string causes webserver to segfault

[Richard Jones]

Package: wordpress
Version: 2.0.3-1
Severity: normal


Go to Site Admin - Options - General Options, ie here:

http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options-general.php

and set the Tagline to something containing Japanese characters.
(For me I used: 太った外人)

The server immediately gives segfaults to any future requests.  As
far as I'm aware the only way to correct this is to go into
the database and reset the tagline in the wp_options table
directly (which is what I did).

Wordpress seems to handle UTF-8 characters in all other places
I've tested however.

Bug#305456: O: perl4caml -- Use Perl code in OCaml programs, runtime library

[Richard Jones]

On Tue, Apr 19, 2005 at 11:00:49PM -0500, John Goerzen wrote:
 Package: wnpp
 Severity: normal
 
 I intend to orphan the perl4caml package.
 
 The package description is:
  perl4caml allows you to use Perl code within Objective CAML (OCaml),
  thus neatly side-stepping the old problem with OCaml which was that it
  lacked a comprehensive set of libraries. Well now you can use any part
  of CPAN in your OCaml code.
  .
  This package provides the runtime dynamic library necessary to use this
  in bytecode OCaml programs.

About 2-3 weeks ago I put the latest perl4caml and a working debian/
config into subversion on alioth.  Can someone help me to upload this?

Bug#304382: ocamldbi: please rebuild with ocaml 3.08.3

 ocamldbi needs to be rebuilt with ocaml 3.08.3, and its dependencies
 updated to ocaml{,-base}-nox-3.08.3.

I don't understand this message.  Subversion contains a debian/control
which specifies Depends: ocaml-nox-3.08.3.  What else do I need to do?

Bug#303339: fuse 2.x

  So firstly it looks like I've been fairly boneheaded here.  that
  value of 1000 in blocks = 1000*1024 should never have been there,
  that should have been calculated from quoteMbTotal (after
  appropriate parsing into an int, the string might include the MB tag
  which will need stripping (the same way as the quotaMbUsed is
  stripped should work if it does have the {space}MB tag). This
  assumes that the libgmail.py code still calculates the correct
  values for quotainfo.
 
 I implemented this change (not hardcoding the gmail quota in
 gmailfs), and that effectively fixed what df reports as the total
 size for a gmailfs virtual drive.
 
 On the other hand, the problem of df reporting 0 as the usage
 percentage was more a bit more involved; I had to make a change in the
 python-fuse CVS repository (I actually maintain it upstream, on top of
 my responsibility for it as a Debian package): it appears that the
 statfs stub in _fusemodule.c wasn't dealing whatsoever with
 statfs.f_bavail. This value is actually what df uses to figure out how
 much space is free, whereas statfs.f_bfree is used to determine how
 much space is available *to the superuser only*).


Cool, I'm glad someone has taken over the python fuse bindings.  You
might have done this already but if not it might be worth looking at
exposing the uid/gid of the user who is mounting the filesystem, this
is available in the fuse context from memory but didn't used to be
exposed via python.
 
 After making this change, I fixed the statfs call in gmailfs as well
 (setting statfs.f_bavail to statfs.f_bfree, since I'm not sure blocks
 reserved for the superuser make sense in a gmailfs context).
 
 As soon as both the new python-fuse and gmailfs hit Debian, I'll send
 you the gmailfs patch, but you'll have to make it clear that this
 change *will break* if not used with the latest python-fuse from
 CVS...
 

I already rely on the CVS version of libgmail (haven't checked for a
release recently, that may no longer be the case), so one more CVS
checkout dependency isn't really an issue :-) .  I look forward to the
patch.


  Thanks again for maintaining the package, it means most of the gmailfs
  questions I get are now related to supporting the windows Gmail
  Drive which I have nothing to do with :-)
 
 No problem, I'm glad my work for Debian makes your life easier :)
 

Not just mine, packages like gmailfs with long lists of obscure
dependencies really benefit from being packaged up as a .deb, I'm sure
its greatly widened the audience for gmailfs (I even had one guy email
me asking for advice on how to install the .deb's on his windows XP
machine, poor fellow :-) )

Regards,
Richard.
