Bug#200654: ITP: debpool -- pool-based DEB package archiver
Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-09 Severity: wishlist * Package name: debpool * Version: 0.1.0 Upstream Author: Joel Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL: N/A License: BSD Description: pool-based DEB package archiver DebPool is a pool-based DEB package archiver designed with a goal of removing any dependancy on code not shipped as part of the core Debian system. It is capable of all of the following: * Tracking multiple distributions (however, it does *not* include unstable -> testing promotion scripts). * Generating Release files (requires libdigest-{md5,sha1}-perl) * Verifying package signatures (requires gnupg). * Signing release files (requires Release files and gnupg). * Running in single-pass or daemon modes. DebPool is intended to be a lightweight replacement for the full Debian archival scripts, in the tradition of debarchive and mini-dinstall, but using a pool layout and avoiding external dependancies. -- Joel Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> pgplAxvFdAqyR.pgp Description: PGP signature

I seem to recall the world population as being in excess of 6 billion (60) some time ago. Unless there was some mass death of ~ 3 billion people since then, I would think it was still significantly above the 3 billion you reference. Either way it is certainly below 1 trillion. -- Jamin W.

apt-get problem
Hi! I posted this on debian-user, but did not receive any answer. Maybe it's a bigger problem? I hope, that somebody can help me: On the system of a friend of me, apt-get is unable to 'upgrade'. It recommends the use of 'apt-get -f install'. Here's the output: snip # apt-get -f install Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Correcting dependencies...

As you can see: It failed and lead to this situation. Now i have some questions: How to track down to the source of this problem (which packages?) It says '3 packages not fully installed or removed.' How to identify these packages? Any further suggestions on how to fix this problems are pretty welcome! ;-) Thank you! Henning

If you are interested, take a look at the socklog package, a replacement for sysklogd that already does this. It even uses separate uids for the listener process and the process writing logs to disk.

cups, infinite loop print-out
Hi, after an update (within testing) I encounter substantial problems with the previously working printing system: For certain files (including the test page from cups!) the print job is not removed from the print queue and printing does not stop. I have no clue at all what is causing this as I did not change any configuration files. Below I try to provide some information on my system, but I'd guess that this is not enough. I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to single out the source of the error... (I hope that I put this question in the right mailing list, if not please don't flame me ;-) Many thanks, Arnd Some details: - dpkg -l | grep cups ii cupsys 1.1.19final-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server ii cupsys-bsd 1.1.19final-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD comman ii cupsys-client 1.1.19final-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client pro ii cupsys-driver- 4.2.5-3 Gimp-Print printer drivers for CUPS ii libcupsimage2 1.1.19final-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - image libs ii libcupsys2 1.1.19final-1 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs ii libqtcups2 2.0-4 Qt interface library for CUPS ii qtcups 2.0-4 Qt front-end for CUPS.

Bug#200591: ITP: wise2 -- [Biology] DNA sequence similarity search tools, GeneWise, PromotorWise
Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-09 Severity: wishlist * Package name: wise2 Version : 2.1.20 Upstream Author : Ewan Birney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Wise2/ * License : GPL Description : [Biology] Sequence similarity search tools, GeneWise, PromotorWise From the help page: Wise2 is package that is focused on comparing DNA sequences at the level of its conceptual translation, regardless of sequencing error and introns. This really is a rewrite of the old wisetools package, which was written about 3 years ago. The current version of wise2 in beta release (2.1.17) now has all the functionality the old version had. It can compare a single protein or a profile HMM to a genomic DNA sequence, and predict a gene structure. This is an algorithm, called genewise, which is one of the algorithms available in Wise2. There are other algorithms focused on EST data rather than genomic data, as well as some other algorithm curios. You can install it locally. The ftp site is linked here. You can install from source code or binaries for common unix platforms. The programs are licensed under the Gnu Public License. Added: Besides the above described applications, the package containts the Dynamite code generating language for dynamic programming. The BioPerl effort has an extension to wrap various applications that include these wise tools.

Apart from the mentioned favicon.ico generation, I've also had the need to create .ico files for some cross-platform development (GTK+ on Windows). There's already xpm2wico, but png is a nicer source format. Support for .ico in convert or gimp would be nicer still, though.

Debian is also best choice for a large number of unified working places (aka desktops) in a heterogenous environment. (Though those people shouting 'desktop' seem to try hard to get it worse). 262 distinct users here with 13 installations. and in the near environment a pool with about 30-40 installations and over 800 users.
