What's the advantage of this client over the already packaged tspc?

Due to license incompatibility, the content of the NewInLenny wiki page
can't be copied to the release notes.

So if you write some text, then you should also send a mail to the
release-notes maintainers (We won't repeat that mistake for Squeeze).

Bug#497476: ITP: gw6c -- Client to connect to IPv6 tunnel brokers

[Craig Small]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Craig Small <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

* Package name: gw6c
  Version : 5.1
  Upstream Author : Hexaco
* URL : http://go6.net/4105/download.asp
* License : BSD
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Client to connect to IPv6 tunnel brokers

 TSP is a control protocol used to establish and maintain static tunnels. 
 The Gateway6 client (gw6c) is used on the host computer to connect to a 
 tunnel broker using the TSP protocol and to get the information for its 
 tunnel. When it receives the information for the tunnel, the Gateway6 
 client creates the static tunnel on its operating system.

Hexaco have "helpfully" mixed their daemon code with their GUI code
which has some ugly license and is completely useless for non-windows
systems anyway.  The source package will be fixed so it only has the
BSD licensed daemon code.

Yes, I know it...

/var/ on churro was full (see
http://ddtp.debian.net/munin/localdomain/localhost.localdomain-df.html)
and the submit from ddtss to the ddtp-db was not working. (you get some
'internal Error'-Page as last reviewer...

We now export all translations from the ddtss from the last 2 days and
submit (per hand) this translations per mail interface again to the ddtp-db.

sorry for that. 

(we must work on the filesystem layout on churro...)

thank you for testing the images also on a mini mac (up to now, we had
reports from macbooks only).

however, it appears to be the same issue as with the macbooks, that
syslinux doesn't work on them. this is already reported, both in the
debian bts for the syslinux package, as well as to the upstream authors.

as written in some other message, i have no access to an intel based
mac, so can't do anything. let's hope upstream or someone else can fix it.

Daniel

Bug#497474: ITP: ipager -- netwm compliant pager application

[Daniel Moerner]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Daniel Moerner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

  Package name: ipager
  Version : 1.1.0

  URL : http://useperl.ru/ipager/index.en.html
  License : MIT
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : netwm compliant pager application

IPager is a pager originally developed for Fluxbox but it can also be 
used with other window managers.
It supports the following features:
  - Zoom on desktop images
  - Main window transparency
  - Transparent workspaces icons.
  - Theming
  - You can send a window from one workspace to another
  - Application icons

Francois Fevotte originally filed an ITP against ipager 
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=392804)
but later closed it for lack of interest and upstream development.
I believe that ipager should have a place in Debian.  On the Fluxbox 
wiki, ipager is listed as the first pager recommendation, whereas 
fbpager (currently in debian) is deprecated.  Although there has been a 
lack of upstream development, the developers have been willing to 
provide patches through email to fix build errors with newer versions of 
gcc, and the package currently builds fine against sid.

  Version : 1.10
  Upstream Author : David A Golden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Exception-Class-TryCatch/
* License : GPL + Perl
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : Syntactic try/catch sugar for use with Exception::Class

 Exception::Class::TryCatch provides syntactic sugar for use with
 Exception::Class using the familiar keywords try and catch.  Its
 primary objective is to allow users to avoid dealing directly with $@ by
 ensuring that any exceptions caught in an eval are captured as
 Exception::Class objects, whether they were thrown objects to begin with or
 whether the error resulted from die.  This means that users may immediately
 use isa and various Exception::Class methods to process the exception.
 .
 In addition, this module provides for a method to push errors onto a hidden
 error stack immediately after an eval so that cleanup code or other error
 handling may also call eval without the original error in $@ being lost.

  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : dungeon adventure game with multiplayer support

Balazar III is a dungeon adventure game with multiplayer support. As
you explore the dungeon, you'll gain magical objects, experience and
powers, but also... curses ! Balazar III is based on the (French)
comics "Le guide Balazar du mauvais sorcier" (Balazar's guide to bad
sorcerers).

The game comes in two versions (which are network-compatible):
 - 3D version destined to computer gamers. The 3D version is
   graphically more beautiful, as it takes avantages of the nice
   cellshading algorithms of the Soya 3D engine.
 - 2D version, currently supporting 640x480 and 800x480 resolutions.
   It has been designed mainly for hand-held devices (Sharp Zaurus,
   Nokia N810, Openmoko Freerunner, Asus EEE PC, and the like),
   although it can be used on computer too. This version has been
   highly optimized so as it can be run in 640x480 on a Zaurus C1000
   (416 MHz ARM processor without graphics accelerators).

New Debian Image

[Emmanuele BARBARO]

Good afternoon,

I've seen in the Debian installer web page 
(http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/) that the last image is 
referring to 9-June-2008.

I've seen the the previous page (http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/) this 
quote: "For "netinst" and "businesscard" images of the "testing"  release, both 
daily builds and known working snapshots, see the Debian-Installer page". It is 
said DAILY BUILDS but still now the last release is 9 June.

It is the first link the right one? 

Please, give me you precious feedback.

Best regards

Keyjnote is a stylish presentation program that displays slideshows of pdf , 
directory containing images. In addition, BOSS Presentation Tool can also be 
used to display the slide shows of odp,ppt or a pps document.

KeyJnote

KeyJnote is a stylish presentation tool by Martin Fiedler with cool eye-candy 
slide effects and some really useful features. Unfortunatly viewing these 
presentations is not as easy as creating them: KeyJnote only provides a command 
line interface for tuning its features.

BOSS Presentation Tool

For those, who prefer the graphical way, BOSS Presentation Tool is the right 
tool. It provides an easy-to-use frontend to KeyJnote. All important command 
line switches are exposed through the GUI.

BOSS Presentation includes a feature to convert ppt,odp,pps document format to 
pdf.So using BOSS Presentation Tool a pdf,ppt,pps,odp or a directory containing 
one or more images can be displayed as slideshows. 

Requirements:

* python - 2.3,2.4 or 2.5
* python-opengl - OpenGL binding for Python
* python-pygame - SDL binding for Python
* python-imaging - the Python Imaging Library
* xpdf - for PDF rendering

it's enough to include the packages; you don't need to do anything else

However, on a PC with an atl2 NIC you need a seperate package with the
atl2 modules installed. I did not use the official d-l CDs so I cannot
tell if it would boot on the PC but my d-l netboot did not.

Are such networking modules included in the d-l CDs?

Would including these packages suffice to netboot on a PC with a NIC
that requires such package or do I need a custom initramfs hook to
include the module?

Thanks

Michal

Do you want feedback on these lists?  I have tried the bugreport
system, but that seems to work with packages. How do I submit
bugreports on the debian-live-cd?

I have tried the amd64-version on a Lenovo R61 as well as on my
Macbook.  Maybe I should try the i386 on the Macbook because it did
not boot properly and I could not use the keyboard.

On the R61 I could not get my wifi working.  The Fn-F8 key also did
not work.  I did not test it fully.  Here is an some of the
output of dmesg:

I'm not sure the no-passwords policy helps much by itself; I get the
impression people will just put a ssh key in their homes on Debian
machines and add it to the authorized keys in LDAP.

either by filing it against live-helper; or by sending a mail to the

someone already reported this (it's a problem with syslinux), but i have
almost no to no hope that this will get fixed; don't have access to
macbook hardware.

in order to use wifi, you need the necessary firmware (firmware-iwlwifi
in your case). this firmware is not free, and it's not in debian, it's
in non-free.

since the official debian-live cds do not contain anything but packages
from main, wifi with that card doesn't work out of the box. yes, that is
disappointing, however, please read what i wrote here about the
situation (the paragraph starting with 'this is not a bug, this is debian'):

You have wireless hardware that requires non-free firmware to be
installed on the wifi chip. You need to enable the non-free section
and install the non-free firmware-iwlwifi package. This isn't specific
to debian-live.

I think that we have a problem with the way we export data from
automated tests. Consensus is (I think) that bugs should not be filed
automatically, unless the person filing the bugs is reasonably sure of
the validity of the bugs, the lack of duplicate bugs, etc. I agree with
that.

Maybe you should focus on providing the data in a machine-parseable
format, and write a seperate tool that would allow to gather data from
all the tests we are running (I can think of lintian and piuparts, at
least), and display all the results on a nice web page, with all the
cool features one can think of.

So far, everybody has been reinventing the wheel, and that results in
http://piuparts.cs.helsinki.fi/ and http://lintian.debian.org/.

What I do with my archive rebuilds is:
- rebuild everything (it's important to process results only when you
  have all the results for all packages, as it makes it easier to find
  failures caused by a change in another package)
- have a script extract the failures from all logs, so I can easily get
  an overview of all the failures, making it easier to find a regression
  in some common tool that caused dozens of new failures.
- for each remaining package, use the BTS SOAP interface the fetch all
  the bugs, and filter the bugs using a regexp (basically
  /(ftbfs|build)/ ), so I avoid most of the potential duplicates.
- before filing the bug (using a script), list the possibly relevant
  bugs from the package.
- usertag the bugs, so I can easily keep track of:
  + new failures, by merging the previous list of failures into the new
one
  + packages that don't fail anymore, whose bug is still open
  + bugs that have been closed, but not fixed

Most of the scripts I use for that are in
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/collab-qa/collab-qa-tools/?rev=0&sc=0 . It's
hackish, but usable.
