Bug#328808: very old package, should this be removed?

2005-09-17 Thread Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt
Package: zone-file-check
Version: 1.01-3 
Severity: serious

Hi,

During the Debian QA meeting hold during Sept. 09th till 11th, we
decided that looking at packages that haven't been uploaded for a very
long time could cover up some QA problems.

I've done this now and your package showed up on the list. I propose
to remove it.
It's very old, seems to have no upstream development anymore, has not
many users and there are some alternatives.

This usually means that your package matched some of the following
criteria:

 [1] Your packages has not had a maintainer upload for more than
 three years.

 [2] has one or more RC bugs with no answer from the maintainer (**)

 [3] the state of your packages in general seems to indicate that you
 might be MIA 

 [4] (if we propose a removal) it shows in popcon as having less than
 100 users with the package installed.

 [5] the package was not released with sarge

and at least ([1] and ( [2] or [3] or [4] or [5] )) was true.

(**) The maintainer not answering to RC bugs refers to bugs filed
more than one month before the time the check was performed.

After 7 days without answer from you (the maintainer) we will reassign
this bug to either WNPP (in case we propose to orphan it) or
ftp.debian.org (in case we propose to remove it).

The package will need an upload or an explanation for this action not to
proceed.

Please do *not* upload a package just to get off this list - it won't
help the package at all. Maintainers should be responsive and feel
responsible for their packages without needing other people to force
them to do work. Sometimes, finding a new maintainer or even removing
the package completly from the archive is better for Debian's users. 

Thanks!

Mar

The package has not many users and there are some alternatives (worklog,
wmwork) available.

This usually means that your package matched some of the following
criteria:

 [1] Your packages has not had a maintainer upload for more than
 three years.

 [2] has one or more RC bugs with no answer from the maintainer (**)

 [3] the state of your packages in general seems to indicate that you
 might be MIA 

 [4] (if we propose a removal) it shows in popcon as having less than
 100 users with the package installed.

 [5] the package was not released with sarge

and at least ([1] and ( [2] or [3] or [4] or [5] )) was true.

(**) The maintainer not answering to RC bugs refers to bugs filed
more than one month before the time the check was performed.

After 7 days without answer from you (the maintainer) we will reassign
this bug to either WNPP (in case we propose to orphan it) or
ftp.debian.org (in case we propose to remove it).

The package will need an upload or an explanation for this action not to
proceed.

Please do *not* upload a package just to get off this list - it won't
help the package at all. Maintainers should be responsive and feel
responsible for their packages without needing other people to force
them to do work. Sometimes, finding a new maintainer or even removing
the package completly from the archive is better for Debian's users. 

Thanks!

Bug#328673: Very old means it’s stable

2005-09-19 Thread Marc 'HE' Brockschmidt
Michael Piefel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

Old, *unsupported* packages are, by definition, too buggy to be
supported. The latter requirement is somewhere in the text about the
main section. As we have a lot of very old, unused and unneeded
packages, the QA team started an effort to find these. We filed over 100
bugs like the one you received in the last week and over 20 of them were
directly answered by a "Oh, right, I wanted to remove the package
anyway" from the maintainer. 
We can't decide if a package is still supported, so we try to get
information from the maintainers, who should know more about their
packages. To emphasize the importance of this question, the bug reports
are filed as release critical bugs.

If you think that the package is needed and you're willing to support
it, you are free to close the bug.

Bug#329966: RFH: lib{glib, gtk2, gnome2}*-perl -- Perl interfaces to the Gtk and Gnome libraries

2005-09-24 Thread Marc &#x27;HE' Brockschmidt
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'd like to continue maintaining the Gtk2-Perl packages (including the
Gnome bindings) in a team, possibly in an alioth project. I haven't
been able to invest much time into them in the last few months, so new
upstream releases needed a few weeks and the last two FTBFS bugs (for
libgtk2-perl and libgstreamer-perl) haven't received any attention from
me, which is a good sign that I need help for the packages.

I also haven't had the time to create new projects based on these nice
libraries, so I'm increasingly out of date with regard to changes in the
APIs.

Though I don't have that much free time, I would definitely have the
time to sponsor a non-DD who wants to help to maintain the packages.

I'll spare you the usual description blob, as long as you're using
something newer than woody, apt-cache show for libgnome2-gconf-perl,
libgnome2-vfs-perl, libgtk2-perl, libgtk2-traymanager-perl, libglib-perl,
libgnome2-perl, libgnome2-wnck-perl, libgtk2-spell-perl, 
libgnome2-canvas-perl, libgnome2-print-perl, libgtk2-gladexml-perl
and libgtk2-trayicon-perl should give you all information you need.

Bug#329977: RFA: libcurses-ui-perl -- A curses based OO user interface framework

2005-09-24 Thread Marc &#x27;HE' Brockschmidt
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Heya,

In my crusade to lose packages, I request an adopter for the libcurses-ui-perl
package. It's upstream development was quite stalled in the last few
months, but there *could* be some activity again.

It's rdepends are sysv-rc-conf and lire (in the archive) plus some
private projects (whose authors have contacted me in private about some
issues).

The package description is far too long:
 A UI framework based on the curses library. Curses::UI contains
 several widgets which can be used to build a user interface:
 .
  - Buttonbox
  - Calendar
  - Checkbox
  - Container (container base element)
  - Label
  - Listbox
  - Menubar
  - PasswordEntry
  - Popupmenu (a.k.a. pulldown- or dropdown menu)
  - Progressbar
  - Radiobuttonbox
  - Texteditor (has features like word wrapping and undo)
  - Textentry
  - Textviewer
  - Widget (widget base element)
  - Window
 .
 There are also a couple of dialog windows available:
 .
  - Basic dialog window
  - Error dialog window
  - Filebrowser
  - Status window
  - Progress window
  - Calendar dialog window
 .
 Curses::UI can easily be configured to use a specific language.
 If you want a language that is not yet supported, please let me
 know. If you want to translate the needed strings, I'll add
 the language to the distribution. Currently the following languages
 are supported:
 .
  - English
  - Dutch
  - German
  - Russian
  - Italian
  - Polish

Actually, the policy explicitly allows this:

| The maintainer scripts are guaranteed to run with a controlling terminal
| and can interact with the user. If they need to prompt for passwords, do
| full-screen interaction or something similar you should do these things
| to and from /dev/tty, [...]
[Debian Policy 3.6.2.1, section 6.3]


This should probably changed a bit to reference 3.10.1, which says that
all means to prompt the user besides debconf are deprecated.

Bug#322773: Links against libstc++.so.6 and old qt

2005-08-12 Thread Marc &#x27;HE' Brockschmidt
Package: djview
Severity: serious

Hi,

I just looked through the whole mess with djvulibre and noticed that
it was only built on two official archs (i386, uploaded by the
maintainer, and sparc). m68k fails due to a toolchain bug, hppa due to
the broken fakeroot on the buildds and the other fail because they can't
link in Xinerama - I have no idea why this was successful on the sparc
buildd.

Anyway, the sparc binaries are broken, as announced in the build log:
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libstdc++.so.5, needed by /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so, may 
conflict with libstdc++.so.6

This means that the current version of djview is broken on sparc (and
probably on i386, iff the maintainer used an up-to-date system to
build).

You'll need to wait at least another day until QT has finished it's
own transition to the new C++ ABI.

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2005/07/msg1.html
contains what you need to know for now, please *read* debian-devel-announce
in the future. This bug shouldn't have happened.

Errr, yes. Thanks for the hint, somehow my C++-breakage radar is a
bit too sensitive at the moment. Downgrading to important.

Hi,

It would be nice if you could provide an command line option (or

very nice.

Bug#314519: Permission problems in the i386 chroot?

2005-08-05 Thread Marc &#x27;HE' Brockschmidt
Hi,

#314519 notified me of the fact that libgtk2-perl, which I only uploaded
for powerpc, was unstripped on i386. As this problem doesn't exist on
other archs (and the same happened with the next release, 1.083-1), I
think that the problem is on the buildd system. The build log shows
this:
dh_strip -a
strip: unable to copy file 
'debian/libgtk2-perl/usr/lib/perl5/auto/Gtk2/Gtk2.so' reason: Permission denied

I asked Martin Zobel-Helas to do a test-build of the package on i386. He
couldn't reproduce the problem on his system (build log attached).

It would be nice if you could check if the problem is really on the
buildd side.

The Net::NNTP call is a simple quit cmd. It tries to get the respone

This could happen if the server sends back unparseable crap. 
I'm not sure how to fix this without breaking existing scripts, so I

Bug#321744: RFA: libgimp-perl -- Perl support and plugins for The GIMP

2005-08-07 Thread Marc &#x27;HE' Brockschmidt
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hi,

I have to admit that I'm not using libgimp-perl for my own work, so my
interest in maintaining it has a bit ceased.

Anyway, the packaging is more or less in a good state, but I didn't have
time to fix some upstream bugs (or at least cleanly forward them to
upstream). Please also note that the last upstream release was when
Gimp 2.0 came out.

So, here's the description:
Description: Perl support and plugins for The GIMP
 The Gimp module includes the Perl modules necessary to write
 Perl-based plugins for The GIMP. It includes several plugins with
 various useful features.

I will orphan in 3 months or so if nobody cares enough to take the
package. No package in the archive depends on it (only a suggests from
gimp), but there are some users, so I'm reluctant to ask for removal.

I've looked at the diff between tar 1.16 and 1.16.1, I'm not really
happy to approve this to etch. 
I would prefer to get a fixed version of tar (with the patch from tar
1.16.1 or the one from the bug report) into etch through tpu. If you
don't have the time to do that, there is probably some eager NMUer
willing to do it :-)

Sorry, I don't accept this. We are talking about an *overheating*
problem, which means *broken* hardware. There needs to be at least a fix
documented in the release-notes.

I have ordered an nx6325, which should arrive directly after
Christmas. I would also be happy to test a fixed kernel. Due to this
being an overheating problem, I would prefer if you could provide kernel
images, so that I don't have to compile it.

Other OSes don't destroy the hardware. There is a patch for Linux not to
- I don't see why Debian should release with a kernel that destroys
hardware, without even giving users a warning. Not everyone who buys a
notebook is aware of ACPI problems, and we shouldn't expect all users to
do so.

Fix it or document it, I don't care. But the current state is not
releasable.

Read again what I wrote. I will not allow Debian to release with a
Kernel that may damage hardware without even a notice in the release
notes. If you are not able to fix it, note that you have provided a
broken kernel.

Bug#404195: RM: libnet-perl -- RoM; included in perl-modules

2006-12-22 Thread Marc &#x27;HE' Brockschmidt
Package: ftp.debian.org

Heya,

libnet-perl is nowadays completly included in the perl package. I have
merged the last few remaining patches recently, so there is no reason to
keep the package. It was already removed from testing, which works out
just fine, as perl-modules has a Provides: libnet-perl.

It is no regression over the prior situation and was never reported in
the BTS, even though GKeyFile was "broken" (ie too liberal when taking
input from application) in this way for some time.

We don't know which other applications may rely on gkeyfile without
input checking. I don't want to find out at this point of the release
cycle, so this is not an option.

>> 2) Decide that glib can migrate into testing, with the particular change

I would prefer to leave the new input validation routines in place, but
replace all current "return FAIL" in the new g_key_file_is_group_name
and g_key_file_is_key_name function with g_warning("'%s' is not a valid
GKeyFile key/group name", bla) and only do a return FAIL if the old
condition (string is empty) was met. Of course, reverting to the old
version would also be an option.

This is in no way RC for evince. It wasn't
reported for any other .pdf, so I guess this only hits very few
users. It is a crash, yes, but it does not make evince unuseable. We
will ship a version of evince 0.4 with etch, as newer versions are
part of Gnome 2.16, which is also not part of etch.

You may write to debian-release@lists.debian.org if you still believe
that this is an RC issue, but I don't think so.

Well, "quite unstable" is not something I can fix. If you are more
specific, there are maybe single issues that could be fixed.

> Maybe this bug has an acceptable patch to it. This causes bad usability.

No, there is no patch. I haven't even verified yet that it is fixed in
the newer upstream versions, but even if it is, there is no specific
changelog entry for this. Also, this is probably a bug in libpoppler,
which does the .pdf rendering, and not in evince.

This was not reported by other people and I, for once, have a working
installation (without hand-holding, simply apt-getting it). Until you
are able to give us some way to reproduce these problems, I assume it's
a local problem on your side. Please file bugs in the future with some

All these three packages (toolchain-source, llvm, mingw32) contain

Bug#397470: Versioned depends on soon obsolete libnet-perl package

2006-11-07 Thread Marc &#x27;HE' Brockschmidt
Package: libnet-ph-perl
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Heya,

I'm the maintainer of libnet-perl and would like to kill it off, if
possible before etch is released. To do that, I need to get the last two
versioned deps on it to go away, libnet-ph-perl is one of them.
Please replace libnet-perl (>= 1:1.09) by libnet-perl (>= 1:1.09) |
perl-modules (>= 5.8.0). perl 5.8.0 contained libnet-perl 1.12, so
everything should work out there.

Please note that I would really like to do it and may do an NMU to
upload this small change. I would also watch over the testing transition
and everything, so you wouldn't have to do anything. As far as I can
see, I'm still a member of the Perl Group, so I could just do a MU, but
if anybody feels to be responsible for this package, (s)he can just
integrate. I'm also willing to sponsor this for non-DDs :)

Thanks, Marc

Well, pdl adds to the functionality of libgimp-perl, and at that point

pdl to actually work. Don't know how the current state is,

Hi Torsten,

I've received this bug report and could reproduce it easily. I tried to
debug this, but failed. As you naturally have no problem to understand
the code, you can probably fix this in a few minutes.

Anyway, here is the report. Please keep the reporter and the Debian BTS
in the CC when you answer.

The only "new" thing is that i've found out that this even happens with
an existing ~/.odot file if the tasklist is empty.

I could not reproduce this in a clean chroot. As other new users haven't
experienced this problem, i'm downgrading the severity to important (for
now).

I see where this could end up in a loop, but perlpanel should find
perlpanel-applet-missing in all cases (as this in the package
itself).

I'm not sure where to start to debug this. Could you send me the output
of "find /usr/share/icons/" and your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (if you have one)?

Well, there will be some sort of check to prevent loops in the next
release, but that's not the real problem here.

Hmmm, well couldn't see what i hoped for. So could you please run this
script and send me the output:

#!/usr/bin/perl -W
use strict;
use Gtk2 '-init';

my $theme = Gtk2::IconTheme->new();
   $theme->set_custom_theme("gnome");
   print join "\n", $theme->get_search_path, "";
exit;

Marc, themes suck.

No problem from my side, but another new maintainer already asked me if
he could work on the package, so you have to ask him if he wants to work
in a team. I'm CCing this mail to him. Wolfgang, what do you think?

Hi,

> postinst, doesn't it?

OK, I've looked at the C code, it's a bug in the icon cache code. I'm
reassigning the bug to libgtk2.0-bin now...

Let's see what happens here:
* Since Gtk 2.6.0, the IconCache exists
* New theme packages call gtk-update-icon-cache in their postinst
* A new package is installed and drops icons in /usr/share/icons/$foo
* It can't find its icons

The reason for that is the flawed logic of the IconCache code... To
prevent the use of old caches that don't reflect what's actually on the
disk, the code checks some timestamps:

  cache_filename = g_build_filename (path, "icon-theme.cache", NULL);

[...]

  if (g_stat (path, &path_st) < 0)
goto done;

  /* Open the file and map it into memory */
  fd = g_open (cache_filename, O_RDONLY|_O_BINARY, 0);

[...]
  
  if (fstat (fd, &st) < 0 || st.st_size < 4)
goto done;

  /* Verify cache is uptodate */
  if (st.st_mtime < path_st.st_mtime)
{
  GTK_NOTE (ICONTHEME, 
g_print ("cache outdated\n"));
  goto done; 
}

path is something like "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/". This means that the
code checks if the mtime of $PATH/icon-theme.cache is newer than
$PATH. The mtime for a directory changes whenever something in this
directory is changed. The problem is that mtime stays the same if
something in a *subdir* is changed, which is the case here (as all icons
go to $PATH/$SIZE/$SECTION/).

Look at this little snippet to verify it:
 mkdir -p foo/bar; sleep 5; touch foo/bar/baz; 
 perl -e 'for (qw(foo foo/bar foo/bar/baz)) { printf "\%-12s \%d\n", $_, 
(stat($_))[9]}'


The fix would be to check that the icon-theme.cache file's mstamp is
higher than the mstamps of all subdirs of $PATH. My C skills are a bit
rusty, so i can't provide a patch now, but it should be pretty easy to
do.

And someone should probably forward this upstream, I don't have a
bugzilla account.

Heya,

Building john failed here because the build system simply forgot to
actually build something:

Bug#395858: libfile-homedir-perl: FTBFS: tests failed

2007-02-10 Thread Marc &#x27;HE' Brockschmidt
close 395858 libfile-homedir-perl/0.56-1.1
thanks

Jonas Genannt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

Yes. This doesn't change the fact that this bug is fixed in version
0.56-1.1. Please don't mess around with the versioning of bugs (ie,
don't use reopen when "found" is what you want), it makes tracking bugs
harder than it needs to be. In this case, reopening was completly
unneeded, as a buggy version of 0.64 never entered the archive.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XCURSORGEN_CFLAGS

Bug#413338: Enable regular expressions in the mail whitelist

2007-03-04 Thread Marc &#x27;HE' Brockschmidt
Package: dak
Version: 1.0-8.4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: Patch

Hi,

I've implemented a backwards-compatible way to include regular
expressions in the mail whitelist for dak. To use a regular expression
instead of regular string, use a "RE:" prefix in the whitelist file.

It doesn't change the code for the actual header splitting, so naturally
the bug also applies for my patch.

A correct fix for #349919 would be to use parseaddr(address) from
email.utils, but that still won't work for the broken maintainer name
you quoted in your initial bug report (as all tools expect the content
of the Maintainer and Uploaders field to conform to RFC822 address
lists).

I've thought about this again and hacked up a workaround for this
issue. It's not really nice, but it will not lead to a backtrace...

Attached patch is done on top of my RE patch for the whitelists from
#413338.

This is a known problem in the evince/poppler combination in Etch, but
has been fixed in the new versions which are already available in
experimental.

This problem needs to be fixed in poppler, not in evince. evince just
gets POPPLER_ERROR_ENCRYPTED back from poppler and tries to get a
password for the document then.

At this time, we don't know which other third-party application rely on
this specific xulrunner configuration, and I really don't want to risk
to break anything else. It's easier to revert this change for xulrunner
now instead of testing every possible r-dep.
