Bug#2975: [base] missing /dev/entries
Here's a patch (relative to base-1.1.0-12) that extends MAKEDEV. Note that the new entries that we want in base need to be uncommented in debian.rules. This patch also provides /dev/random and /dev/urandom (fixes Bug 3039). Note that this patch does not provide non-i386 devices (some are included, but commented out), and that it is advisable to extend MAKEDEV with facilities for these devices, to be called from base's postinst. -- CUT ME -- diff -r -u base-1.1.0.orig/debian.rules base-1.1.0/debian.rules --- base-1.1.0.orig/debian.rulesWed Jun 12 22:02:49 1996 +++ base-1.1.0/debian.rules Sun Jun 16 15:02:21 1996 @@ -31,9 +31,11 @@ $T/usr/doc/copyright/$(p) $T/usr/doc/$(p) DEVICES= \ - cdu535 console ftape generic hdc hdd lmscd mcd qic scd0 \ + cdu535 console ftape generic hdc hdd cmd205cd mcd qic scd0 \ scd1 sdc sdd sde sdf sdg sdh sg sonycd st0 st1 xdc xdd sbpcd aztcd \ - audio + audio misc +# kbd js idetape zorroIIram mscdex cmd206cd gscd optcd hitcd pcaudio +# dos_hd ed ez geniusscan doublecompress ibcs2 wvisfgrab mmetfgrab isdn all build: # Builds the binary package. diff -r -u base-1.1.0.orig/prototype/dev/MAKEDEV base-1.1.0/prototype/dev/MAKEDEV --- base-1.1.0.orig/prototype/dev/MAKEDEV Wed Apr 10 20:22:39 1996 +++ base-1.1.0/prototype/dev/MAKEDEVSun Jun 16 15:01:21 1996 @@ -1,5 +1,31 @@ #! /bin/sh - +# TODO as of 2.0.0: +# - +# - check FIXMEs +# - entries marked UNIMPLEMENTED +# +# - Stallion serial card +# - Specialix serial card +# - Comtrol Rocketport serial card +# - Chase serial card +# - Digiboard serial card +# - SDL RISCom serial card +# - Atari SLM ACSI laser printer (68k/Atari) +# - ACSI disk (68k/Atari) +# - Universal frame buffer ([2.0.0]: currently [...] Linux/68k and Linux/SPARC +# - ROM/flash memory card +# - Z8530 HDLC driver +# - tclmidi MIDI driver +# - MPU-401 MIDI +# - Netlink support +# - Myricom PCI Myrinet board +# - ML-16P experimental I/O board +# - Yet Another Micro Monitor +# - Baycom radio modem + + + RCSID='$Id: MAKEDEV 2.2 1995/05/21 17:55:14 alfie Exp $' #---#---#---#---#---#---#---#---#---#---#---#---#---#---#---#---#---#---#---# @@ -27,6 +53,11 @@ audio= root audio 660 ibcs2= root sys 666 scanner= root sys 666 +# FIXME: check these! + qcam= root lp 660 + random= root sys664 +kbd= root sys 664 +framegr= root sys 664 MAXVT=8 @@ -173,6 +204,9 @@ sr) echo scd0 ;; st) echo st0 ;; xd) echo xda xdb ;; + dos_hd) echo dos_hda dos_hdb dos_hdc dos_hdd ;; + ed) echo eda edb ;; + ez) echo eza ;; fd) echo fd0 fd1 ;; lp) echo lp ;; mt) echo ftape ;; @@ -219,14 +253,23 @@ $0.local $opts ;; std) - makedev mem c 1 1 $kmem - makedev kmem c 1 2 $kmem - makedev null c 1 3 $public - makedev port c 1 4 $kmem - makedev zero c 1 5 $public - symlink core $procfs/kcore - makedev full c 1 7 $public - makedev ram b 1 1 $disk + makedev mem c 1 1 $kmem + makedev kmemc 1 2 $kmem + makedev nullc 1 3 $public + makedev portc 1 4 $kmem + makedev zeroc 1 5 $public + symlink core$procfs/kcore + makedev fullc 1 7 $public + # [2.0.0] + makedev random c 1 8 $random + makedev urandom c 1 9 $random + # OUTDATED: makedev ram b 1 1 $disk + for no in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ; + do + makedev ram$no b 1 $no $disk + done + symlink ramdisk ram0 + makedev initrd b 1 250 $disk makedev tty c 5 0 $tty ;; console) @@ -291,16 +334,49 @@ ;; busmice) major=`Major mouse 10` || continue - makedev logimouse c $major 0 $mouse - makedev psmouse c $major 1 $mouse - makedev msmouse c $major 2 $mouse - makedev atimouse c $major 3 $mouse - makedev jmousec $major 4 $mouse + makedev logibmc $major 0 $mouse + symlink logimouse logibm + makedev psaux c $major 1 $mouse + symlink psmouse psaux + makedev inportbm c $major 2 $mouse + symlink msmouse inportbm + makedev atibm c $major 3 $mouse + symlink atimouse atibm + makedev jbm c $major 4 $mouse + symlink jmousejbm + # Conflict: #makedev amigamouse c $major 4

Re: 1.2 source archive and packaging issues
The only disadvantage is that for a couple of weeks, the unstable directory will not be the real unstable directory. The real one will be rex, also reachable through an slink development. As unstable gets unpopulated of real files, it should be repopulated with symlinks to rex. So if people go looking in there, they find the files they need. Whether those files in unstable have underscores or dashes is probably not terribly important, as long as everything in rex has underscores. Then, when we move all of the real files to rex, we can remove unstable and point people at development. Be careful to avoid replacing directories with symbolic links. It tends to confuse the mirror program. Thanks Bruce

Re: Organizing non-free

For example, shareware programs can be sold on CD but require payment for use. I'd be more specific, but I can't get to master at the moment. I'd better send Simon a note...

If no section/priority in control file, then where?
OK, last Thursday I was told that use of section and priority in the control files of packages was deprecated by those whose opinions would seem to matter most---Ian Jackson, dpkg maintainer, and Guy Maor, archive maintainer. This is fine with me---one less detail to track for each package. What about dchanges, though? Is it going to wreak havoc in the archive if tons of .changes files show up with misc/extra, even when that's not actually where those packages belong? I hope not, because that's exactly what it does given the above set of recommendations. Mike. -- Don't let me make you unhappy by failing to be contrary enough
Re: _ in source archive names?
From: Michael Alan Dorman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is it intended that developers use the _ to separate package name and version information in the names of .tar.gz and .diff.gz files? Yes. The source file name should be consistent with the binary one. This is espeically important when we do batch compilation of source packages for ports. Thanks Bruce

Re: Entry for the Distribution-HOWTO
Hi, different sources and systems. Non-free packages and optional support for shadow passwords are also available, making Debian a It might be a good idea to call the support for shadow passwords experimental or beta just to be safe (not all packages support them yet). I'll try to help to make it fully working and better integrated with the rest of Debian for the next release. Also, mentioning non-free packages and shadow passwords in one sentence might suggest to someone that shadow passwords are still non-free... I'd suggest something like the following: Optional support for shadow passwords is available, although it should be considered experimental in the 1.1 release. (and then write something about non-free packages) Regards, Marek
Public archive of ftp and debian-bugs...
I just wanted to let everyone know that debian.med.miami.edu is now up and running. Our mirror of the complete distribution can be found at: ftp://debian.med.miami.edu/debian In addition, we have a complete copy of the debian-bugs database available at: http://debian.med.miami.edu/ Rather than dumping you at the (long) numeric index of bugs, this puts you at a short page with links to the three different indices. There will probably be some relatively short downtime in the next few weeks as we try and track down some errors we see when we enable the full 64MB we've got in the machine, but they shouldn't be too disruptive.

Re: The PCMCIA and kernel packages
Okay. I have created a new version of the pcmcia-cs package and am currently uploading it. Here is a list of the files it creates: pcmcia-cs-1.3.100_2.8.16-1_i386.deb The binary version of the package. It includes the modules compiled for kernel version 1.3.100 and all of the pcmcia-cs utility programs. pcmcia-cs-source_2.8.16-1_i386.deb The deb file containing the package sources. It unpacks into the /usr/src/pcmcia-cs-2.8.16 directory and creates a symbolic link to /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs. pcmcia-cs_2.8.16-1.tar.gz The package sources in a compressed tar format. pcmcia-cs_2.8.16-1.diff.gz The diff file describing the debianization done to the original package. Here is a list of the targets of the debian.rules file: Standard Targets: build: Build the package (if not configured, configure according to the running kernel). binary: Make the binary package deb file. This can be used by those who customize their own kernel. clean: Clean the package (undoes the effect of the build target). source: Make a compressed tar file of the source. diff:Make a file of the differences between the debianized package and the original package. Special Targets: configure: Configure the package according to the running kernel. changes: Make a changes file (using dchanges) for this package. source_deb: Make a deb file of the package sources. (pcmcia-cs-source_version_i386.deb) dist:Makes all files required for the Debian distribution. (intended for the package maintainer). Targets to be used by the kernel package: kdist_configure: Configure the package (intended for the kernel maintainer). kdist_image: Make the binary package deb file (intended for the kernel maintainer). kdist: Makes all files required for the Debian distribution (intended for the kernel maintainer). When the kdist targets are used the following three variables should be defined: KVERS: The version number of the kernel source. KSRC:The location of the kernel source. KMAINT: The name of the kernel package maintainer (a pgp key for signing the changes file). The kdist target creates a new version of the package's deb file, but does not create a new source or diff file, since it is assumed that these have not changed. It also executes dchanges to create a changes file. While new source and diff files are not created, if these files are present in the $(KSRC)/.. directory, where the new deb file is placed, they will be included in the changes file. This also is true for the pcmcia-cs-source deb file. The dist target is intended for the package maintainer. It creates both deb files (one for the kernel modules and utilities and the other for the source), the source file, the diff file, and a changes file. If the package has not been previously configured (via a configure or kdist_configure target or by using a make config command), it will be configured using the kernel source configuration in the $(KSRC) directory, just as with the kdist target. The build target makes a new deb file. If the package has not been previously configured (via a configure or kdist_configure target or by using a make config command), it will be configured to work with the current running kernel and will use the kernel source files in the /usr/src/linux directory. This target provides a way to compile the kernel modules without using the kernel-source package. -- Brian Mays
