Changes: 
 xfig (1:3.2.4-beta6-1) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream version 3.2.4-beta6.
 - fixes the problem that having the NumLock key on prevents the
   accelerators from working (Closes: #148286).
 - The problem toolbar overlapping other buttons seems to be fixed now
   (Closes: #150019).
 - The UPDATE object function allows to update the depth of a compund
   now, where the smallest depth of the compound is set to the new
   value while all other depths are kept relatively to this smallest
   depth (Closes: #123413).
 - 3D look can be disabled now using Fig*shadowWidth: 0 in
   $HOME/.Xresources (Closes: #132071).
 - Resizing the XFig window or using the -geometry option now works and
   adapts the buttons per row correctly (Closes: #53295).
 - Parsing a FIG file does not longer SEGV, when a spline consists of
   less then 3 points but prints out a warning and ignores that spline
   (Closes: #161657).
   * Apply upstream patch.colortiff, which calls fig2dev -L tiff -C with
 a dummy argument on -C, otherwise creating color previews in TIFF
 doesn't work.
   * Apply upstream patch.gridunits, which fixes the bug where xfig may
 change the Major/Minor grid tick values to None to 0.0.
   * Upgrade to Standards-Version 3.5.7:
 - New handling of DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
   * Increase priority of xpdf over gv in xfig-pdf-viewer.
   * Add kghostview as a 5th alternative to xfig-pdf-viewer.
   * Add light(1) to xfig-www-browser and optimize priority of browsers.
   * Move the documentation (in package xfig-doc) from
 /usr/share/doc/xfig-doc to /usr/share/doc/xfig.
   * Moved xpm icons from /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps to
 /usr/share/pixmaps.

 Current cost of hard disk is something between $1.00 and $1.50 per

 That comes to the whopping amount of 6,367,729,045 bytes, which looks

 The total size of /org/ftp.debian.org/ftp/pool on auric is about 63

2002-11-21 Thread Thorsten Sauter

Hi,

anyone can agree that this is a little bit more clearer?

snip

Description: Display program shortcuts as icons on desktop
 With idesk you can define shortcut's for several programs
 and display these icons with a short description on the
 desktop of any window manager.
 .
 It can use png images as icon source (including transparent
 support) and support antialised fonts to print the description.

/snip

Thanks for you help...


- Forwarded message from Filip Van Raemdonck [EMAIL PROTECTED] -

The current description doesn't fullfill it's purpose.

 idesk plops icons down on your root window (desktop).

`Plops'? What's that?
And wearing my dummy desktop user hat, WTF is a root window?

 It includes support for PNG alpha layers, and pretty antialiased text
 with Xft

Same hat; what are alpha layers and Xft?
I'd rather just talk about translucent [1] icons and pretty antialiased [2]
text without mentioning PNG alpha layers or Xft.
Also, this sentence needs a . at the end, and it could be separated from the
previous one (although that isn't strictly necessary).

Now, I've read the entire description, and either as a dummy or non-dummy
user I still don't know what I can do with the icons. Are they:
- some sort of shortcuts?
- actual files and directories?
- both?
- icons for minimized applications, as in the iconbox of some motif based
  desktops?


Regards,

Filip

[1] Assuming that's what it does; if it only means that the icons can have
completely transparant parts that's hardly a feature, and I'd rather
consider it a misfeature of any icon using app which doesn't do that.

[2] It's debatable if a dummy user knows what antialiased text is, but it is
good enough a feature to mention it even if only for more experienced
computer users.

For example, timestamp every message internally (so the timestamp is

Alternatively a random character string could be used, but timestamps

Another mass bug filing: get rid of xlib6g*

2002-11-21 Thread Daniel Schepler
As discussed previously, I'll be filing bugs against any source or
binary packages which still depend on the obsolete xlib6g* packages.
These will be normal severity for now, but will be raised to serious
severity (for source packages) or grave severity (for binary packages)
once these packages disappear.

The currently affected packages include:

Source packages: 3dchess, ax25-tools, bbdate, cheops, chimera2, clara,
clips, cpanel, crossfire-client, dfm, directory-administrator,
doxygen, ecawave, erlang, everybuddy, evolver, floatbg, geg,

xmms-status-plugin, xmountains, xmpi, xpat2, xplanet, xscavenger,
xsok, xtet42, xzoom

Source packages specifying xlib6g-dev|xlibs-dev (in that order):
buici-clock, gmod, phaseshift, tclx8.2, tclx8.3, wdm, xlassie.  These
will have wishlist bugs filed asking them to reverse the order.

Binary packages (excluding those in source packages listed above):
axyftp-gtk, axyftp-lesstif, codebreaker, gfpoken, glbiff, glotski,
gnome-think, gnosamba, gtk-theme-switch, gwm, gwml, libvdkbuilder-dev,
libvdkbuilder2-dev, lightspeed, mountapp, multimon, oneliner, perspic,
quickplot, sclient, spacechart, vdkbuilder, vdkbuilder2, wmmatrix,
wmmoonclock, xaw3dg-dev, xcin2.3, xdigger, xdkcal, xgraph, xsol,
xtoolwait, xtranslate, xtv.

These lists don't include packages from contrib or non-free.

The proposed text for a source package bug:

(This is an automatically generated bug, based on the current contents
of the Sources file for the main section.)

This source package contains a build dependency on xlib6g-dev.  This
needs to be updated since the xlib6g* packages will disappear by the
time of the next release.

Be aware that, in addition to xlibs-dev, you may also need to specify
libxaw7-dev.  Also, if your source package uses imake, you will need
to specify xutils as well.

The proposed text for a binary package bug:

(This is an automatically generated bug, based on the current contents
of the Packages file for the main section.)

This package still depends on xlib6g; this needs to be updated since
the xlib6g* packages will disappear by the time of the next release.
(If this was pulled in by ${shlibs:Depends}, all you should need to do
to fix this bug is rebuild the package.  However, if your source
package is missing Build-Depends, you may need to add these for the
autobuilders to work.)

No, this isn't necessary.  GNU tools (which we use) make it really

being able to execute binaries midway through building, which is not
supposed to be needed for GNU packages, but others require that.  This
is no trouble, however, provided you build on a machine that can
execute all the instructions you are compiling to (that is, normally
just whatever is the highest end target).

 Oh, by the way, hurd-i386 and the *BSDs will want all of these
 optimizations too.  Better double your estimate :-)

And yet, it's still amazingly cheap.

The habits (and I have them too) of thinking that disk space is costly

 How did you solve the problem of re-sending such mails? Say, Joe Evil
 Cracker is able to catch a command mail containing halt. Will he be
 able to shutdown my machine every time he want?

Each message has its payload and its header information (what command to
run, what file is being copied, etc.) GPG-signed.  (The two are combined
together to a single file, which is GPG signed as a whole.)

This header information includes, among other things:
 1. Date  time the file was prepared
 2. pid that created the file
 3. 2048 bits of random data

After verifying the signature on the data, the receiver does some sanity
checks.  One of the checks is doing an md5sum over the entire file
(remember, this includes both the headers and the payload).  If it
has seen the same md5sum in the last 60 days, it rejects the request.  If
the date of the request was more than 30 days ago, it rejects the request.

Therefore, the sender is able to reissue the halt command legitimately as
often as he/she wants, since the random bits  time will ensure different
md5sums on the recipient.  But replay attacks will be useless since the
recipient will have seen the request already, and will reject it.

Why do I need to specify a specific version? Which part of policy says
so?

The same applies to normal depends. Some people believe that any
dependency on a virtual package must be expressed as a real package |
the virtual package. However this is a workaround for a limitation of
apt-get (that it can't choose a default for a virtual package). The
correct solution is to fix the package management tools, not to kludge
around the problem. Debian does not have a history of kludging around

 In this case, testing is at 1.0.7+20011202-8, and will remain that way
 at least until all of the unstable architectures are in sync.  So if
 we just wait now, the 1.0.7+20021025-3 version will eventually make it

 not possible anymore. The new upstream has nice new features
 and tightvnc has other nice features. They may coexist in
 the future but that is far away.
 
 So this is what I intend to do to solve these issues:
 
 0) Start using alternatives for vnc.
 
 0.1) Link svncviewer staically with libvncauth instead
of dynamically.
 
 1) Package tightvnc as:
tightvncserver, provides vncserver
tight[x?]vncclient, provides vncviewer
tightvnc-doc
 
The hard part is to test that they can coexist.
 
 2) Change the vnc package to realvnc
realvncserver, provides vncserver
realvncviewer, provides vncviewer
vnc-common (I have to check what's in there).

Perhaps you should make the virtual package rfbserver and rfbviewer
and ditch the 'real' bit. There's already an 'rfb' package in Debian
that you should probably coordinate with.

 Current cost of hard disk is something between $1.00 and $1.50 per
 gigabyte.

it's not just the cost of disk space, it's the cost of bandwidth too -
and recurring bandwidth expenses cost a LOT more than disks (once-off
capital expenditure)


 Branden, could we afford to buy a couple 110 GB disks to hold this
 increase?

can debian afford to buy the same for every mirror too?  or pay the
bandwidth costs of about 100MB per debian release of each kernel
version?  at an average of 4 or 5 debian releases per kernel-image
package, that's about 400 or 500MB per kernel version.  

bandwidth isn't free, nor is it universally cheap.  some countries are
still paying up to $0.20 per MB for downloads, or even more.

work out the cost for your location.  even in the US where bandwidth is
relatively cheap, it still adds up to real money.

every mirror has this expense, just to provide allegedly optimised
kernels for people who are too lazy to compile their own, who probably
wouldn't even notice the optimisation anyway.

 Nothing is installed from experimental because of dependencies.. you
 have to be explicit about each and every package.  (Unless you have
 overridden that using apt's preference, in which case you should know
 that you are out on a limb).  AIUI, anyhow.

Nice, (btw, this is documented in man apt_preferences) but how do you know

 No, it's not. Low end disks are cheap. High end disks still aren't.

Disks are still $1 per gigabyte.  IDE disks are more than sufficient
for this task, aren't they?  Other disks run--omigosh--up to $2 per

 Bandwidth still isn't.  Especially when you're spending donated
 resources rather than your own. 

Mirrors are quite free to decide not to download anything but the i386
packages.  Surely doing this job right would involve making sure that
this is possible and works well.  So adding extra to our stock
wouldn't increase *anything* except for those who choose to carry
more. 

Ordinary users download what they actually need, and wouldn't download
any more than they do now.

   My question is: how did Japenese users make it with Debian prior to the
   introduction of these packages?  Couldn't they continue using whatever
   methods worked then?

Prior to the cmap-adobe-japan1,2 Japanese users used to
use another mechanism i.e. VFlib to display Japanese fonts,
at least in ghostscript.

Perhaps at that time, xpdf didn't support Japanese so
Japanese users could use only ghostscript to display
Japanese PDF files (and from time to time Japanize patch
lost PDF support). 

But VFlib cann't support Korean nor Chinese, that is, it is
Japanese specific.  In this respect, cmap-adobe-* might
be much better than VFlib.

  Perhaps they simply used acroread from non-free? Or perhaps the
  importance of pdf has increased and they could do without it then
  and cannot now.

This is also right.  The importance of PDF increases much.

 xpdf-japanese is required to display Japanese PDF with xpdf. It is
 also need to convert PDF to plain text with pdftotext.
 
 I'm not familiar about cmap-*.

In fact, cmap-adobe-* and xpdf-japanese/korean/chinese-*
are same kind of files so I believe they could be collected 
to one package (per japanese/korean/chinese) to be used both 
xpdf and ghostscript.

And Hamish Moffatt is now working to try to do so, I guess.

(Perhaps dvipdfm-cjk-cmap is also the same kind of package
as far as I understand)

 It also makes it 5 times as hard to build a modules package for our
 stock kernels. And uses an equivilant of extra space there of course.

If you punch out a kernel module package its not so bad if all the
headers files are installed.  I wrote up a e1000 kernel package before
it showed up here as an ITP by someone else and it worked great.

it would still be wasteful, but a lot easier to manage.

 I wouldn't expect an increase in the number of available kernels to

right, no significant increase.  those who upgrade every day know that
it costs them, and it only affects them if they use the debian-supplied
kernels rather than compile their own.  at worst, it's probably less

There are two different sorts of Release files -- binary-*/Release which
is what Karl was talking about, and dists/*/Release{,.gpg} which is what
you're talking about. The former can be written by hand, and doesn't change
(except at release time), or can be generated from the latter. The latter
needs to be updated every time any Packages file changes, obviously.

It should be fairly straightforward to create a Release{,.gpg} set
yourself, the files aren't particularly complicated. Ripping out code from
