Changes:
xfree86 (4.1.0-5) unstable; urgency=high
.
* High urgency upload because the version in testing is ancient, has
non-free code in the source tarball, and this version is the first in
quite some time that should build on all architectures in unstable without
kludges.
.
* patch #000_post-410: more fixes from xf-4_1-branch:
+ Fix DPMS support in i128 driver (Robin Cutshaw).
.
* patch #000_stolen_from_HEAD:
+ Mark Vojkovich: Fix null pointer dereference in Xinerama extension when
no Xv-enabled adapters are present. (thanks for the heads-up, Stephen
Frost) (Closes: #107385)
+ Fix a VT switching crash in the cirrus driver when acceleration is
disabled. (Closes: #109678)
.
* patch #800: gnu.cf updates from Marcus Brinkmann
* patch #801: new; build PCI bus code on the Hurd (Closes: #109845)
.
* debian/control:
+ replaced Build-Dependency kernel-headers-2.4 [!m68k] with
kernel-headers-2.4 [!hurd-i386]; m68k now has 2.4 headers, and of
course the Hurd does not (Closes: #109814)
+ corrected typo in xspecs' extended description
+ x-window-system metapackage no longer depends on any -dbg or -dev
packages, and now depends on xdm
* debian/xserver-xfree86.examples.mips: ship example XF86Config.indy file
(Closes: #109596)
* debian/xserver-xfree86.files.mips{,el}: ship manpages for the following
modules: mga glint nv s3virge sis savage trident chips tdfx fbdev ati
(thanks, Guido Guenther) (Closes: #110871)
* debian/xserver-xfree86.templates: give people no guidance at all in
selecting mouse protocols because anyone who writes a debconf question
like that deserves a bug report. You're told not to do so in the debconf
tutorial.
* debian/MANIFEST.mips: updated (thanks, Ryan Murray) (Closes: #110896)

Base freeze on? Will autobuilders use it?
Has base actually frozen? Is there a space on www.debian.org to track this? Or which mailing list? More importantly, will autobuilders use it? If they don't and rather continue to track unstable, then how will new optional package enter testing before the `optional' freeze? They may get built against library versions that aren't in woody and thus never allowed to migrate to woody due to unresolved dependencies? Thanks, Peter

I believe the answer is that once base is totally frozen, there will be no new (unstable) versions of the libraries, so that the problem won't occur. Jules
Student Looking for A Final Year Project

If you wipe hidden directories using the command: wipe -r .* once it has finished deleting files down the directory tree it will move up to the root of your hard disk while continuing to delete everything (if run as root). The wildcard .* is matched against the parent directories (..) I do not consider this to be safe behaviour. In comparison a rm -f -R .* will only result in: rm: cannot remove `.' or `..' rm: cannot remove `.' or `..' i.e. a rm doesn't touch parent directories and files.

The most obvious think that jumps to mind in kernel development is to pick a random piece of unsupported hardware, reverse engineer its protocol and write a driver for it. For example, I believe there are quite a few unsupported digital cameras. Or perhaps lego mindstorms (or did someone already write a driver for that?). Use your imagination. Jules

Oh, and use the features of CVS so I can remotely secure CVS into a machine, change stuff, and it'll automatically act based solely on the CVS commit I make, without having to log in. So, via remote CVS I could force an apt-get install of any arbitrary package. Integrating CVS into Debian (as a core component, not just a package) would be a long, complex, and rewarding project.

It fundamentally seems to work, or at least I've not yet run into any road blocks. I know CVS doesn't do binaries or compressed files very well, but for plain text based config files or lists of installed packages, that's OK. I would imagine the tool would store the state of installed packages in a way very similar yet different from dpkg --get-selections | sort file and then CVS commit the file. I've been playing with that method in an extremely manual way, but a smoothly integrated command or script would be much less painful to use, and could have cool features added. I haven't run into any inherent CVS related issues while experimenting with this method, and I'm curious if you've had bad experiences trying something similar, etc. Considering that the student wanted a good project, I'd think that integrating this into the greater overall Debian system would be more useful real world project with all kinds of legacy issues and social interaction w/ other package developers, than the typical individualistic small system end of year project. I follow up to debian-devel, as several developers use CVS, and if there's some big unpublicized fundamental weakness and flaws in CVS, I'm sure others need to know, so please inform us. Thanks!

Agreed. That was the entire point of the suggested project for that student, encapsulate all the uglyness of CVS into either APT or DPKG or a separate program. Right now I can type something that vaguely resembles line noise into my terminal to do what I'm proposing. The goal of the student's project would be to replace that uglyness with a nice smooth interface thats well integrated with the rest of the Debian system, all well working cooperatively with other developers.

Cruft update
Hi, I'm currently sitting on a pile of cruft filter file updates. The reason I'm sitting on it is that I don't know what to do with them. I already asked a similar question about this some time ago but got no answer. At first sight it would seem logical to simply send a bug report against cruft with all the updates but I think it would actually make much more sense to send bug reports against each package so that *they* and not cruft include these filter files. Here's why. First, what do the filter files contain? They contain a list of files (file patterns more precisely) that belong to a specific package although they are not listed in as such. These files are typically files that are generated at run time like sendmail's spool files, squid's cache or, more and more frequently I believe, debconf-generated configuration files. Now let's assume we have package A which in version 1 put some files in /usr/lib/whatever, and in version 2 has moved this file to /var/lib/whatever (there are many such cases, not necessarily between usr and var). If the filter file for package A is delivered with cruft, what should it contain? * neither of the above: this is typically the current situation since th efile is missing altogether. This means cruft will complain about both files which adds up to thousands of files (only slightly exagerating here) * include only /usr/lib/whatever Then users of version 1 are happy but not users of version 2 * include /var/lib/whatever Then it's users of version 2 that are happy while users of version 1 complain. But at least this is correct in the long run (well, at least until version 3 moves the file yet to another place) * include both Nobody complains, but nobody notices that the upgrade left the outdated /usr/lib/whatever file behind (well, this is more typical with 'not-empty' directories). I.e., cruft does not detect cruft anymore. If the filter file is delivered with package A then the right version of the filter file can be shipped with it. Plus the maintainance of the filter file will be done by the package maintainer who just happens to be the person who knows best which files are supposed to be around and which are not (any longer). Plus it distributes the burden of maintaining the filter files among all maintainers which makes it actually feasible (how would the cruft maintainer be able to keep track of more than 7000 packages)? So I'm very inclined to file a bug report for each package for which I wrote a new filter file. But I want to know about the community's feelings before I do that. The alternative would be to file one bug report against cruft per package for which I have a new filter file, and to copy that package's maintainer (using X-Debbugs), since I really want each maintainer to check the validity of my filter files. I attached my current cruft filter files so that you can have a look at them. It contains both the new files and updates to existing files in unified diff format. If we go with shipping the cruft filter files with packages then there will also be the question of migrating them from the cruft package to each individual package... -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://fgouget.free.fr/ The greatest programming project of all took six days; on the seventh day the programmer rested.
