Bonsoir,

je développe depuis pas mal de temps le websso Lemonldap::NG (récriture

Re: APT 0.7 for sid

2007-06-11 Thread Christian Perrier
 upgrade path for two releases now, with its Recommends: handling being a
 major reason for this.  I'd be surprised if there weren't at least *some*
 users switching to it as a result.


Developer users probably. The ones that resist are more non-developer
users. I'm constantly being annoyed at work with so-called systems
administrators pinging /me about my Debian box upgrades badly which
is nearly always the consequence of the use of apt-get for upgrades.

And I can definitely confitm that, when one just answers read the
bloody release notes and learn about aptitude, the surprise is often
very high when people discover that the recommended tool is aptitude
and not apt-get.

There are so many examples all around the web with various apt-get
calls and pretty few with aptitude. In these days where googling
becomes a synonym of read the documentation, it hurts badly.

Another widely misunderstood feature of aptitude is the ability to
handle packages installed as dependencies. It's pretty often badly
understoood and leads to horror stories floating around of aptitude
wants to remove half of the system while the issue is just the user
not understanding the documentation that explains how to switch
properly from apt-get to aptitude.

Bug#428381: ftp.debian.org: proposed-updates is not part of release a=stable

2007-06-11 Thread Raphael Hertzog
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Since proposed-updates contain only approved updates for the next stable
release it make sense to add it to the sources.lists (at least for some
users).

I have done so and I'm discovering a little quirk related to its use.

Until now I had etch + proposed-updates only in my sources.list.
Recently I have added sid in my sources.list and added
APT::Default-Release stable to make sure to follow etch.

All packages which already got updated via proposed-updates are now
candidates for upgrade to sid... that's because proposed-updates is
not labelled as being part of release a=stable and as such is not pinned
accordingly.

It has:
release v=4.0-updates,o=Debian,a=proposed-updates,l=Debian,c=main

Whereas etch has:
release v=4.0r0,o=Debian,a=stable,l=Debian,c=main

I don't know how dak works but IMO it would make more sense to have
proposed-updates be:
release v=4.0-updates,o=Debian,a=stable,l=Debian,c=proposed-updates/main

Of course, for an experienced APT user the problem is minor. It can be
solved by adding this snippet to /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: *
Pin: release a=proposed-updates
Pin-Priority: 990

But I really believe that APT::Default-Release stable should be enough 
and do the right thing with proposed-updates as well.

Cheers,

Recommends *are* to be installed by default, unless you specifically tell
the tool not to. This is the whole point, one that has been broken for a

It is high time to either remove apt-get, or to just damn fix it to actually
do what it is supposed to do.   apt-get can't continue living on as a
mostly debug tool when it is used everywhere as a main admin tool.
Heck, some misguided soul even made a slogan out of it (apt-get into it)
to promote Debian.  Let's fix the damn thing already.

I am sick of telling users that you did not install a recommended package,
that's why it is not working as you expect it to, because they use broken
package managers.

 usefull on desktops) so just integrate some kind of button in synaptic  co,

synaptic  co are also broken in a very bad way if they do not offer to
install recommends by default (and broken in a very bad usability way if you
can't tell them that no, you don't want that recommended package installed).
Just fix them.  dselect was fixed a long time ago, and aptitude does this
right since day one (AFAIK anyway).

 IIRC a security update in sarge changed sudo's behaviour and that broke
 many local scripts. We decided that the security threat addressed by the
 update was basically zero and went back to the old version - finding 
 fixing all the broken scripts was simply not worth the effort.
 
 So an automatic security update _can_ break a working server.

Yes, of course.  *Any* change to the software might break a working
system, either because it introduces or uncovers bugs, or because it
changes something a script or third-party app relies on.

Perhaps an automatic security update system could make use of additional
info (local or remote exploit, etc) to offer more control over the 
balance of risks. 

Would such a system have saved you from unnecessary automated breakage ?

I think we should go for the binary prefixes. Users will be confused

I completely agree, to treat Recommends as weak dependencies and
install them by default and make that behaviour consistent among all
package managers.

The frontends imho just need a clear way of showing which packages are
going to be installed because of a Depends and which because of a
Recommends, so it would be easier to de-select a recommended package.

Otherwise there would be no point having Suggests and Recommends, if
they are basically treated the same by the package management tool.

A typical 300GB server-class hotpluggable SATA or SAS disk is quite a
bit more expensive than a typical desktop-class 500GB hard disk, and for
a RAID setup that will actually survive the breakdown of a number of
moving parts parts, you'll need at least four or five of them.

Disk space is *not* cheap, and using it as an argument to add more
packages to the archive is stupid.

Additionally, network bandwidth isn't cheap, either, and the update of a
number of 400MB packages might disrupt the (twice-daily) mirror pulse.

 I disagree. Please make it the default. We need consistency and that's the
 intended meaning of that field.
 
 You really need to explain why it would be a dangerous option when the

Hi,

 FWIW, synaptic has an option in its preferences dialog called Consider
 recommended packages as dependencies, which is off by default.
 
 I completely agree, to treat Recommends as weak dependencies and
 install them by default and make that behaviour consistent among all
 package managers.
 
 The frontends imho just need a clear way of showing which packages are
 going to be installed because of a Depends and which because of a
 Recommends, so it would be easier to de-select a recommended package.

For synaptic, I think it would be fine if Recommends were marked as such
in the window which pops up when you select a package; right now Depends
and (if you select the above option) Recommends are just mentioned as
Will be installed (at least in my outdated version of synaptic).

Synaptic could mark them as Recommends there and offer a check-box for
each, so people could easily unmark recommended packages they do not
want installed at this point (though maybe it should be pointed out
(once) that doing so might be unwise).

Also, the ib prefixes sound stupid. Furthermore, the KiB

 Another widely misunderstood feature of aptitude is the ability to

You seem to fancy the K-is-1024--k-is-1000 convention, which doesn't work with

then to be consistent either K should be KB or KiB can be shortened to Ki. 
That's a single character, not a lot.

What I'm missing in this request is the practical use.

The original example given at the start of this thread was:

 Version: 3.0.0~beta10-0ubuntu1
 Priority: optional
 Section: universe/net
 Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Uncompressed Size: 2134k

Can you tell me in which cases you would make a different decision if this was 
either 2134*1000 or 2134*1024 bytes?

In either case, ~ 2 million bytes suits your requirement, or it doesn't.
This sounds to me like solving a non-problem, unless you can of course tell me 
in which situations adding the B or iB in the field above would solve a 
real question.

Whatever.

The point wasn't that you can't set up a professional RAID array using
cheap desktop hard disks; you can, if you really want to, though I
wouldn't recommend it. And yes, you're completely free to ignore that
particular advise, so long as you don't expect me to become a customer
of yours.

The point was that a single 500G hard disk just doesn't cut it for a
publically-accessible Debian mirror; that you need much more than that,
both in terms of quality (hotpluggable controllers don't really help if
your disks aren't ready for hotplugging--which is usually the case for
cheap desktop-class hard disks--possibly other interfaces than the
popular SATA connection, and preferably also disks that have had way
more testing than desktop-class hardware) so that there is this set of
cheap crappy hard disks that are large enough so that you can store an
entire Debian archive on it is a ridiculous argument in favour of
throwing every insanely large piece of junk into a Debian package and
onto the Debian archive.

Note that that also doesn't talk about *what* exactly defines the line
between an insanely large piece of junk and a piece of interesting
data large enough to be useful, but not so large as to become a
problem. The borderline there would seem to be rather gray.

Personally, I'd advice the OP to try to find the smallest data set that
is still at least moderately useful for the package, and to package that
(so that people not familiar with the software or the type of data it
requires can still try it out), unless that would require a package
larger than a few tens of megabytes. Additionally, it would be useful to
point in the package description and/or its documentation to either a
way to automatically generate debs out of a larger data set so that
users can generate their own data debs and distribute them on their own
network, or to a separate debian archive that they can add to their
sources.list if they want.

I don't think setting a hard limit (as in, with numbers) on maximum
recommended package size is a very good thing to do; I'm tempted to
think that this kind of limit is not really static over time, and thus
that wording such as roughly two times the average package size at the
time the package is created or so would be more appropriate.

Hi,

 316   + 0,9K Jun 10 22:32 Debian Installe cb+myon=de 
postpone_0.1_amd64.changes is NEW
 320   + 0,4K Jun 11 12:30 Debian Installe cb+myon=de 
postpone_0.1_amd64.changes ACCEPTED

looks like postpone got fast-tracked in the NEW queue (thanks Joerg!),
so here's what I posted in my blog yesterday again:

--- 8 ---

I just finished implementing postpone [1], a wrapper that is intended
to take an arbitrary command, fork into the background, wait until
some lockfile is freed, and then run the command. Of course the idea
is that the lockfile is /var/lib/dpkg/lock, and that postpone is used
in maintainer scripts. (Update-menus already does that, and I've
basically grabbed that code and generalized it as a separate program.)

As a test implementation, I modified the post{inst,rm} templates in
the tex-common package [2] and rebuilt texlive-lang-* using that. dpkg
-i texlive-lang-*.deb takes over 4 minutes in the old version, but
only a total of 60s with postpone used (35s for dpkg -i plus 25s for
the background jobs).

A Debian package is currently sitting in NEW, let's hope it will
actually get used in maintainer scripts.

[1] http://www.df7cb.de/projects/postpone/
[2] http://www.df7cb.de/projects/postpone/texlive/

--- 8 ---

NB, the .diff in [2] is meant as a test implementation and in fact,
I've probably missed some details in the way fmtutil-sys is called.
(And while looks like an NMU, I don't intend to upload it but will
leave the implementation of the maintainer scripts to the experts.)

There's a few other postinst/postrm jobs that could benefit from
postpone:

* python modules
* emacs
* ldconfig
* install-docs can probably factor out some parts
* update-dictcommon-aspell, aspell-autobuildhash, etc.
* defoma, other font stuff
* scrollkeeper
* anything re-starting some init script (though catching exit code
  won't work anymore)
* maybe even update-menus
* ...

Of course, there are cases where running later is not always
appropriate (ldconfig is a candidate), so this need to be decided on a
case-by-case basis.

For good new, the maintainer scripts are most often generated by
debhelper or some other utility, so there's actually not much to
change to use postpone. (Otherwise, only few packages are affected so
there's not much to gain). And there's the question whether to depend
on postpone or have the maintainer script implement both cases
(postrm scripts might need to do this anyway).

To be honest, this is exactly an example where I would *NOT* want to see

A major downside of the mechanism supported by this package is that there

In the case of texlive, failure in the script currently leaves the 
package unconfigured, which is correct as it may not be usable [1]. 
Using the mechanism proposed here, the package would happily get the 
status fully installed and the user would be none the wiser why he'd 
get all these inexplicable errors while using the software.

The only case where IMO using this mechanism could be considered is if 
failure of the scripts to run correctly has no or only extremely minor 
consequences for the correct working of the software, as is I guess the 
case for update-menu.

For all other potential use cases, maintainers should wait for the 
implementation of triggers in dpkg [2], which is the only correct way to 
deal with this issue.

We are talking about tools like aptitude here, or at least, the OP does.
Did you ever have 2 GB free and decided to install a package that would

I'm not quite convinced that real world situations exist where you'd use
the installed-size parameter of a package in that amount of significance.
Even more because the size of a package can grow a bit due to generated

Two proposals for a better Lenny (testing related).

2007-06-11 Thread Gustavo Franco

I would like to ask you interested in our next release to stop and
look at 'testing' for a while. I believe that now, during the start of
a development cycle and during debcamp/debconf we've a interesting
opportunity to review pros and cons of our current approach.

We believe that 'testing' means that things shouldn't break as badly
as in unstable or experimental. That's important understand the
automatic update concept of unstable and the experimental
non-automatic nature. In other words use unstable means that upgrade
is dangerous, use unstable and experimental means that you pick how
much more of the danger you want from there (experimental).

Let me outline the 'testing' pros and cons from my point of view:

pros
-

* testing is under control of release team, it's supposed to be harder
to a random developer break our next release

* testing is our 'daily updated' release snapshot


cons
-

* testing metric is too simple, packages are allowed to enter testing
only after a certain period of time has passed no matter if much
people tested it before that and just when they don't have
release-critical bugs filed  against them.

* developers and most active contributors are pretty much using only
stable or unstable and not testing.


I've two different proposals to address the cons trying to avoid as
much as possible create new cons, they are:

1) The 'remove experimental' proposal

* Warn developers and contributors[0]
* Remove experimental
* Switch unstable (release) for not automatic updates

[0] = This warning should contain the hint for contributors switch from
unstable to testing and those who want to pick unstable stuff do like
we do today with experimental.

The benefit of the approach above from a RM point of view is that we will
have more eyeballs over testing and it doesn't mean that we will have less
people using unstable pieces.

2) The 'remove testing' proposal

* Add enough experimental autobuilders for our target architectures
* Warn developers and contributors that experimental is for transitions and
 adopt a sort of 'if in doubt upload to experimental' approach. It's really
 important

The developers and contributors might keep using unstable and some pieces
of experimental. Things will get harder during freeze, but I believe it's
still better than we've today unless developers and contributors don't
cooperate out of freeze and ignore the 'experimental if in doubt' approach.
Note that it reduces RM team power during the development cycle, the first
suggested approach doesn't.

be cool,

Sorry, but you're utterly wrong. I've worked in the storage industry
for several years and in that time I've spoken to engineers working on
hard drive design and production. There can be significant physical
differences between desktop and enterprise disks including (but not
necessarily limited to) data layout, head assemblies, motors, physical
damping, platter sizes and materials. The underlying principles are
clearly the same, but desktop drives are designed down to a price
using cheaper designs and components wherever possible.

One of the most common mistakes is to make large arrays of cheap
disks. As cheaper disks tend to be less well isolated, vibration and
resonance between the different disks can be a major problem and can
cause very rapid drive failure. Even worse, this is often provoked in
groups such that RAID setups can still fail due to multiple failures.

 Sorry, but you're utterly wrong.

  FWIW who is wrong does not matter. If you're not ftpmaster.debian.org
or the primary debian mirror or let's say one of the 5 or 6 primary
debian mirrors, you don't _need_ to be safe, you just need to be always
online. You can achieve that with a simple array of usual desktop (sorry
that works well) SATA drives (or even 10k desktop grades sata drives,
yes that exists) in a sufficientely redundant raid array. If you choose
your hardware properly:
  * it will be hotpluggable (yes even desktop sata drives supports
this),
  * you will be able to monitor it.
  * you will be able to change the drives before they fail. Even if you
burn 2 500Go disks every 6 months, it will still be cheaper in the
end than the carrier-grade hardware that is sold. The really funny
part here, is that when time passes, your replacement disks become
bigger and bigger, and faster than the archive growth. Isn't it nice ?

  And even if all of that should fail, rebuilding a debian mirror is
fast (I build my x86+amd64 in a few hours behind a dsl line), and costs
a fragment of the bandwidth this mirror would consume in the long term
anyway.

  My point is: disk space is expensive because people didn't realized
that disks are expendable. Well, some people, google did realize.

  And would I need to build a very efficient mirror, I'd put my money on
the RAM so that the very used parts of the mirror would stay in cache
anyways.


  The other fun part was that my real point was that there is a real
problem that is bandwidth, not really for the mirrors sync, but because
of the downloads from the clients (I've no real data to backup that
claim of course, but if a mirror uses more BW to be kept in sync that
what his usual clients use, then its worthless).

  And yes, unlike disks, bandwidth is still a real real real constraint.
Though, I'd say that we could work on distributed mirrors
infrastructures, because disk is cheap for our users too, and even a
smallish fragment of their bandwidth could be of use. As soon as such a
distribution service exists, I've for sure some dozens of gigabyte and
10 to 20 Mbits on a server of mine to be part of the network. _that_
would be 100x more productive than to try to take shortcuts on the
archive for bad reasons.


PS: Oh and I don't say it's a good idea to see the archive grow just
because we have space. I've 2 RM: bugs on old packages of mine that
are worthless and uselessly bloat the archive.

The tendency of dependency chains can block transitions, and keep RC

A fun though not entirely reliable data source is the APT prefers
lines inserted by reportbug in bug reports. A quick grep[1] of the BTS
gives:

  51988 APT prefers unstable
  30351 APT prefers testing
   2076 APT prefers stable
420 APT prefers experimental
373 APT prefers testing-proposed-updates
220 APT prefers oldstable
190 APT prefers proposed-updates
 60 APT prefers dapper-updates
 50 APT prefers dapper
 30 APT prefers breezy-updates
 24 APT prefers edgy-updates
 17 APT prefers breezy
 16 APT prefers feisty-updates
 13 APT prefers edgy
 10 APT prefers hoary-updates
 10 APT prefers feisty
 10 APT prefers breezy-security
  7 APT prefers sarge
  7 APT prefers etch
  7 APT prefers dapper-security

(For bonus fun, someone could graph how these change over time..)

 1) The 'remove experimental' proposal
 
 * Warn developers and contributors[0]
 * Remove experimental
 * Switch unstable (release) for not automatic updates
 
 [0] = This warning should contain the hint for contributors switch from
 unstable to testing and those who want to pick unstable stuff do like
 we do today with experimental.
 
 The benefit of the approach above from a RM point of view is that we will
 have more eyeballs over testing and it doesn't mean that we will have less
 people using unstable pieces.

This assumes that experimental is used by a lot of people, which I
doubt, especially given the default apt pins and the numbers above.
Experimental is already only rarely uploaded to -- 1 in 20 packages have
a version in experimental (some of them outdated). I've seen plenty of
cases of developers complaining that they uploaded to experimental and
got too little additional testing from doing so. Moving the line between
experimental and unstable might drive some people to testing, but I
don't feel it will be many, especially as many developers upload even
risky changes to unstable already.

If you want more users to use testing, see CUT.

If you want more developers to use testing, I firstly don't entirely see
the point, but providing better tools for developers to develop for
unstable while using testing might help.

 2) The 'remove testing' proposal

Amoung many other problems this postpones most work on the installer until
the release it will install is frozen.

E.g. all of the top-type programs, which display stuff in colums like
memory sizes etc, and are _extremely_ starved for space.  It would be
ludicrous to change the memory size displays in such programs from
224K to 224KiB just to give some obsessive-compulsive types a warm

That's not consistent. Kilobyte has always meant 2^10 bytes. kilo
in kilobyte is not an SI prefix. SI prefixes only apply to SI
measurements, of which byte is not a member. There is no confusion;
the only place where a kilobyte != 2^10 bytes is in hard drive

decades, and it is a perfectly acceptable and desirable standard.

 in kilobyte is not an SI prefix. SI prefixes only apply to SI
 measurements, of which byte is not a member.

Then why bastardise an SI prefix? This surely serves only to confuse
people. Why don't we invent a new word? Should we call it the
thousandbyte?

It is simply a convenient accident that 2^10 ~= 10^3. As I'm sure you're
well aware, this approximation starts to become way off as you approach
tera-. In fact, that's about 10% error, which is simply unacceptable.
It's time to move on and accept that the approximation fails with big
numbers.

 There is no confusion;
 the only place where a kilobyte != 2^10 bytes is in hard drive
 manufacturer's advertising materials. This is the way it has been for

And I suppose you think that differences such as that between the
American and the English ton are acceptable and desirable. Let it be
known that I strongly disagree with you here. :)

On Mon, Jun 11, 2007 at 06:20:17PM -0300, Gustavo Franco wrote:
 I would like to ask you interested in our next release to stop and
 look at 'testing' for a while. I believe that now, during the start of
 a development cycle and during debcamp/debconf we've a interesting
 opportunity to review pros and cons of our current approach.
 
 We believe that 'testing' means that things shouldn't break as badly
 as in unstable or experimental. That's important understand the
 automatic update concept of unstable and the experimental
 non-automatic nature. In other words use unstable means that upgrade
 is dangerous, use unstable and experimental means that you pick how
 much more of the danger you want from there (experimental).
 
 Let me outline the 'testing' pros and cons from my point of view:
 
 pros
 -
 
 * testing is under control of release team, it's supposed to be harder
 to a random developer break our next release
 
 * testing is our 'daily updated' release snapshot
 
 
 cons
 -
 
 * testing metric is too simple, packages are allowed to enter testing
 only after a certain period of time has passed no matter if much
 people tested it before that and just when they don't have
 release-critical bugs filed  against them.
 
 * developers and most active contributors are pretty much using only
 stable or unstable and not testing.
 
 
 I've two different proposals to address the cons trying to avoid as
 much as possible create new cons, they are:
 
 1) The 'remove experimental' proposal
 
experimental is not a 'full' branch like stable, testing or unstable. It
only has a handfull of package built for it (at least that is what I
have seen from reading debian-devel-changes)
Also, there is no transition from experimental to unstable.
checkout my diagram at http://mysite.verizon.net/kevin.mark/

helpful)

can you say, in all the thousands of users, not a single one is ever

It does solve a real problem. It solves an ambiguity. Does k mean 1000
or 1024? Does M mean 100 or 1048576?

Answer: k mean 1 000
ki means 1 024
m means 1 000 000
mi means 1 048 576

No more ambiguity.

Because you see no problem does not mean there is none.

The m68k port is nearly always in need for SCSI replacement disks for their
~20 m68k buildds. Some boxes just have 9 GB drives for multiple chroots,
which causes some build failures from time to time because the disks have no
free space anymore. One buildd is currently down because of SCSI disk
problems as well. 
So, the m68k port has the need for some larger disks, especially when those
disks are usuable with a standard 50 pin SCSI cable. It would be nice if you
could send us one or more disks. Stephen Marenka is located in the US while
I'm located in Germany (as most m68k buildds as well). CC'ing him.

Oddly enough if you had posted this a bit earlyer, one of the US folks
who will attend Debconf (this year in the UK) could have brought it with
them. This would make it easy to directly give it to many folks who are
part of Debian. Although it may still be possible, if it is done in an
extreamly timely manner, as Debconf is June 17th-23rd. Maybe There
should be some announment a month or two before debconf so that hardware
donations can be co-ordinated around it and the participants

 tex-common - Common infrastructure for using and building TeX in Debian
Closes: 409897 418983 426881 427562
Changes: 
 tex-common (1.8) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Bump urgency since this fixes a RC bug which hits anyone upgrading
 from lenny to sid and triggers a forkbomb.  Urgency only medium
 because of the long list of unrelated other changes. [fk]
   * Add a workaround for the fork bomb problem in format generation:
 Ignore jadetex and xmltex if latex is not present (closes: #427562) [fk]
   * make proper ucfr checking in maintainer scripts (Closes: #409897) [np]
   * rework the code generated by dh_installtex in the postinst script.
 Now at postinst/configure time fmtutil-sys is called with
   --all --cnffile file
 where file are the fmt.d config files installed by the package. This
 way a dpkg-reconfigure will create *all* formats defined in the config
 file, even if the sysadm has defined additional formats.
 (Closes: #418983) [np]
   * Update snippets in texmf.d according to a reordering patch accepted
 upstream [fk]
   * (first) rework of Debian-on-TeX document for TeX Live only [np]
   * add a list of old files from teTeX which can be removed
   * Do not install unused 01tetex.cnf and its md5sum file [fk]
   * dh_installtex: rewrite $engine to metafont if $engine = mf|mf-nowin
   * Install a copy of mktex.cnf in /usr/share/tex-common, and advice in
 NEWS.Debian to reinstall it. [fk]
   * Debconf translations: Added Vietnamese translation, thanks to Clytie
 Siddall [EMAIL PROTECTED] (closes: #426881)
   * implement an opion --nosourcefiles for tpm2licenses to not check
 source files
   * Add symlinks README.Debian.$ext to the respective TeX-on-Debian
 formats. [fk]
