It might produce faster binaries, it might produce smaller binaries (usually both go hand in hand, but not always) I'd just like to chime in on this. I actually suffered the humiliation of trying to install the Intel compiler out of morbid curiosity today. I was hoping to get smaller binaries from it (not that I'd just it, but just to confirm that gcc has room for improvement ;) ). However, I couldn't seem to find any combination of flags that would reduce the stripped binary size to significantly below 2x the gcc -Os output. The compiler seems to be geared towards C++, and it links in its C++ and runtime libraries to whatever you compile with it. It's worth noting that this probably means that anything you compile with icc contains proprietary code. This is a much more serious problem than icc's own proprietary nature.

I've contacted one of the freetype authors to ask him what he thinks about this. As far as I can tell, it's the rendering which is patented, not the font information. So you can create TT fonts with the hinting information, and for example freetype2 can use it if you enable the bytecode interpreter. Otherwise it will use its auto-hinter to generate plausible output. You might want to boycott the patented features, though, and design the fonts so that they will (only?) render nicely using the autohinter. As an alternative, would it be acceptable to simply point at Apple and laugh at their silly patents? I've been looking at one of them (US patent 5,155,805), and it's a patent on basic math. You take a point and two vectors, project one vector on the other, and add it to the point. That's ALL.

One person has announced that he is going to try on the list, though they are not an official debian developer. I have made a package, too, and will make it available soon. There are some limitations with it. The biggest limitation when compared to my SE Linux work is it's lack of flexibility. I can setup a SE Linux chroot, then do a bind mount of /home/www, and grant read-only access to the files and directories of user_home_t and search access to directories of type user_home_dir_t. This stuff is accomplished through file immutability and Linux capabilities. It's not as flexible as the system you're describing sounds, but it does work with standard Linux filesystem features and represents a smaller departure from UNIX conventions. The advantage of the security contexts system described on that web page is a comprehensive solution to the IP address issue (I've got a design but no working code so far). I don't expect to ever get a solution that works as well as their solution unless/until new features are added to SE Linux. It's not perfect, though - due to a shocking case of C programmer's disease. One big problem is what to do with the `localhost' interface. Currently, you can't have a guaranteed private interface and expect applications to work. This is because the IP jailing works by intercepting the `bind' call, and remapping binds to 0.0.0.0 to the first IP address listed in our `ip chroot', as well as binds to 127.0.0.1. I tried adding an extra IP address - 127.0.0.X - to the IP chroot and defining that as `localhost' in /etc/hosts, and eventually after finding that SSH local port forwarding (to pick on an application for which it didn't work) was always trying to bind to 127.0.0.1, I found this gem in glibc: /* Network number for local host loopback. */ #define IN_LOOPBACKNET 127 /* Address to loopback in software to local host. */ #ifndef INADDR_LOOPBACK # define INADDR_LOOPBACK((in_addr_t) 0x7f01) /* Inet 127.0.0.1. */ #endif so the getaddrinfo() call will always return 127.0.0.1 for the local host. Which is a bit of an arse really, but I think I'd probably just get laughed at or ignored if I logged a bug against it. But if you don't mind `localhost' being the same as your external IP address there's no problem.

However that is probably another can of worms that I don't want to get into here. The main problem with this is that you can change the kernel you use to boot, if you have several installed. In fact, the kernel is often managed outside the packaging system. However, runtime configuration is not part of the current packaging system, nor did I consider it in my proposal.

Linux Fonts
Hello all, Thanks everyone for the advice on what license to release my font under. I looked at all the options and decided to just go with the standard GPL. I have spent a lot of time on this font and it is nearly done. it is a pretty standard sans-serif set, including all the accent and special characters. I embedded bitmaps for all the smaller point sizes, so it should look, more or less, flawless onscreen. If anyone would like to bang on it some, and give me feedback I would be greatful. I haven't done the whole family yet (no italics, bold, bold italics) I wanted to make sure everything works perfect before I start on those. I haven't tested it on Linux yet , so I am interested to know if there are any problems.

CAPT. PAUL DIMANGO. TEL. 27 73 234 9108. FAX 27 72 486 3248. Dear Sir, URGENT INVESTMENT OFFER I know you will be surprise to receive this email from me, but please this letter is a request from someone in dare need of assistance. I Capt. PAUL DIMANGO from Angola, a personal aide to the late Jonas Savimbi of UNITA Angola who was ambushed and killed on Friday 22 of February 2002. I got your name and address from a business desk chamber of commerce and industry in Johannesburg South Africa. I decided to solicit for your business assistance to transfer the sum of US$26. 5 Million (Twenty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only) from my Boss safe deposit into your personal or company's account. Before the death of Jonas Savimbi, I was in charge of overseeing his personal finances and the up keep of his family expenses. I have access to most of the money he starched away in a private security firm in South Africa. This was made possible because he entrusted me with the authority to use my name in depositing these funds, which he realized from the sales of Diamond in Angola. This is to avert any suspicion prior to when this money will be used for the purchase of Arms and Ammunitions. Before his death I received on his behalf a payment of US$26.5 Million (Twenty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand Unites State Dollars ) in cash, which I deposited in a vault of private security company here in Johannesburg, South Africa but I deposited the funds as Diplomatic Archival Antique? this I did for my security. I am now living in South Africa, as a political Asylum seeker because the situation in my country is not safe for me to go back as there is bound to be serious power tussle and the fate of UNITA the organization that my late Boss was the head before he was killed. I have made up my mind to divert this money and to make a living out of it, since my former boss and I are the only people who have the knowledge about this last payment. Regulatory law of South Africa does not permit asylum seeker certain financial rights. In view of this, I cannot invest this fund in South Africa hence I am seeking your assistance to move out this money out of South Africa to a foreign country for investment purpose which you are going to be the investment manager. For your assistance and effort, I am prepared to offer you 20% of the total fund while 5% will be set aside for any incidental expenses that will be incurred on the course of this transaction and also we are going to donate 5% to the Charity Organization in your country. Please note that this transaction is 100% risk free as I have made adequate arrangement with a bank Director here that will assist us in moving out the money through a Bank network. The major thing I demand from you is assuring me safety of this money when it finally gets to you. Further information and arrangement will commence as soon as trust; confidence and good working relationship is established between us. I shall be most grateful if you maintain the confidentiality of this matter. Please confirm your interest via above telephone and fax numbers. And your urgent reply will be highly appreciated. Best regards, CAPT. PAUL DIMANGO.

I am trying, only with a music font, as a required side project for LilyPond. I'll leave text fonts to people writing text based applications, for now. But that's not the sort of thing you need a project for, how about just a package? I imagine that if there was a project for free truetype fonts people would be interested. There's definitely interest in freetype, but I think we should stop relying on proprietary truetype fonts that don't fit the social contract and don't make me feel warm and fuzzy. FWIW, it has helped me a lot not doing this all by myself. If it weren't for others in the project (encouraging, criticizing, fun) I'd long given up. and it's not the sort of thing you can rail against a bunch of software developers for not doing. I'm not railing against anyone, just looking for some help on a big job. Well, who else is there? Some software developers are rather clever, critical and eager to learn. If you write a Free Software application yes they are. and hopefully some of them will want to help. and from what I understand, creating really high quality tt fonts means writing your own hinting instructions into the font. who better to do this than software developers? All we need is one person with a sense of design, and a few people to work out the technical details. So it seems that there are some gpl tt fonts here, http://www.gust.org.pl/fonty/index.html, as mentioned earlier in the thread, but I'm not sure because I can't read this page and babelfish doesn't do polish. Can someone confirm this? How about if I ITP something like free-truetype and include both these fonts, and the metatype fonts (there are two fonts they have that are tt and gpl, but they need some work on their hinting). Then as we find more, we can include them in the package. Also, the Bigelow and Holmes fonts in xfree86 have a clause in their license that they can't be modified, and I imagine that this is to preserve their artistic integrity. Maybe we can contact them (and consult debian-legal first) about adding a clause that they can be modified, but only if the name is changed, or only in a patch file. If they agree, we could add those to our growing list of free tt fonts. michael -- michael cardenas | lead software engineer | lindows.com | hyperpoem.net Are you seeking to know what is wrong with the world?

My first guess is that if SCC were to start enforcing its patents against you then Linus et al could sue NSA to stop distributing the patched kernel and NSA in turn could sue SCC for specific performance.

The best way for SCC to bring trouble upon themselves would be to sue me. I believe am doing more for the widespread acceptance of SE Linux than anyone outside the NSA.

I'm trying to create an alternative for msttcorefonts and xfonts-scalable-nonfree packages (which do not follow the convention you have mentioned here). As for the packaging of xfonts-scalable-nonfree. It is all from one source distribution, unlike your proposed package. From the package description: ... xfonts-scalable-nonfree contains a set of Type1 and TrueType fonts that are part of the XFree86 distribution, Likewise, msttcorefonts was a coherent collection, all from the same foundry and distributed together. But given that these fonts are all from different sources, they should not all be in one package. The proper way of doing this kind of aggregation is to make a meta package (a package that contains nothing but dependencies on other packages) that depends on these fonts. Think of a suitable name that distinguishes your aggregate from other possible packages and use the ttf- prefix to indicate this package provides TrueType fonts. Thus, if the common thread is that these are all suitable for displaying latin alphabets, then you might have ttf-latin[1]. If your collection is a personal collection, distinct from other peoples' latin font collections, you might call it ttf-cardenas-latin instead. :) Ben [1] This does not rule out the possibility that one or more font packages included in this aggregate may also be suitable for non-latin characters. -- nSLUG http://www.nslug.ns.ca [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian http://www.debian.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ pgp key fingerprint = 7F DA 09 4B BA 2C 0D E0 1B B1 31 ED C6 A9 39 4F ] [ gpg key fingerprint = 395C F3A4 35D3 D247 1387 2D9E 5A94 F3CA 0B27 13C8 ]

Re: Bug#156852: ITP: ttf-dustismo -- general purpose gpl'ed truetype sans serif font
I proposed this on debian-devel, but Ben disagreed. I would be more than happy to create a truetype fonts package to replace the nonfree xfree86-scalable package and the recently defunct msttcorefonts. This was my original intent. Ben suggested that I make a package for each foundry, and then a virtual package that includes all of them. If Dustin agrees to gpl the rest of his fonts, I'll just make a ttf-cheapskate package. I didn't ITP the virtual package yet because I haven't located any other gpl'ed tt fonts. I do have a list of original font authors though, and I plan to write to some of them tonight. Also, there's a project at metatype.sourceforge.net that has a gpl'ed, but incomplete, tt font based on D.Knuth's Computer Modern font. I plan to include that one, but I was waiting to hear from the author first.

As for quality of X Type1 rasterizer, I believe that it is a temporary problem. At least one Type1 renderer, gv, has no problems with visual quality, so this is not a fundamental flaw, just another challenge. To get the quality, gv uses antialiasing, doesn't it? But X core protocol doesn't support antialiasing. RENDER extension does, but not all applications support RENDER.

If Dustin agrees to gpl the rest of his fonts, I'll just make a ttf-cheapskate package. Meta package. A virtual package is something quite different. It is not a package itself, but rather a package name, named in the Provides: control field, thus emacs21 and emacs20 both have Provides of the virutal package emacsen. A meta package, on the other hand, is a real package that has nothing but control information in it, usually Depends: so when you install the meta package it causes a group of other packages to be installed. If I gave the impression that the grouping should be by foundry, that is not what I meant. I think I mentioned that the foundry may be present in the name of each actual font package, but that is all. I imagined a good grouping would be by function, i.e. fonts suitable for foo. The grouping I suggested was ttf-latin for a nice collection of fonts supporting latin characters.

Re: Acto de presencia.
Hola: Y en el caso de que no sea adoptar un nuevo paquete, sino crear uno nuevo no empaquetado previamente (p.e. software personal), cual seria el procedimiento? 1) ITP 2) Buscar sponsor para que de visto bueno al paquete y lo suba al ftp :? Fermín J. Serna
Re: Acto de presencia.
Hola! Gracias por la pronta respuesta... mi siguiente duda seria: que tipos de paquetes son interesantes para debian (no conozco el caso mencal) y no darian problemas en debian-devel?. He visto que existen paquetes con utilidades muy simples y casi desconocidas? En concreto, estoy haciendo pruebas sobre un IDS de red que detecta shellcodes. Tiene una funcionalidad muy concreta, y basicamente hare un paquetes deb para aprender a hacerlo... pero no se hasta que punto es interesante llevarlo a la siguiente etapa o que quede para mi, como una simple prueba .deb. X) Fermín J. Serna aka Zhodiac 1) ITP 1.1) Mandar Cc: a debian-devel y ver si nadie esta en contra por lo que sea. Si lo estuvieran, como en el caso de mencal, aguantar el chaparron y creer que los usuarios lo agradeceran :-) 2) Buscar sponsor para que de visto bueno al paquete y lo suba al ftp 3) Mantener el paquete en buenas condiciones, cuidar sus bugs, dar soporte cariñoso a los usuarios, en resumen actuar como si hubieras jurado la constitucion y tuvieras cuenta en Debian ;-) 4) Prepararse para el aluvion de fans en cuanto el paquete entre en el repositorio :-) Un saludo!

Hola Carlos: Evidentemente no se cuanta gente lo usa, lo que si se es que, por ejemplo para mi es util para saber cuantos intentos hay, cada dia, de explotaciones del Apache (chunked vulns). Cosa que el snort, no detecta con sus filtros de deteccion de shellcodes. Util? para mi si, sino no haria el deb X) para el 99% de la gente quiza no.
