Wrong:

• aptitude has been known to ignore the view dpkg/apt have
  on the system, e.g. wrt. held packages, for ages

Wookey and I agreed on three levels of avoidance: hard disallow

(allows -shim) and prevent systemd from running (allows -shim
and libpam-systemd with its deps).

>I was hoping the author would admit the contradiction of requesting

I do not request an alternative to… whatever systemd-shim is an
alternative to. I question why this thing is needed at all. My
sid desktop at $dayjob works just fine with systemd-must-die
installed, thank you very much. Okay, I uninstalled the KDE
metapackage due to the gvfs chain, but who cares… (or maybe
I could contribute a KDE metapackage that excludes systemd,
but right now things are in flux anyway).

Choice 1 is just the default location for most headers.

Choice 2 is useful if you have multiple versions of the same library.
For example, you might want to have the headers for Ruby 2.0 and Ruby
2.1 installed at the same time.  They're going to ship mostly the same
headers, so putting them in different directories allows them to be
co-installable.  Some upstreams prefer this location.

Choice 3 is for private header files.  Most of Glib's headers are of
style 2, but it ships one file, which is autogenerated, in this location
because it's only intended to be called from other Glib header files.

This method is used because on distributions like CentOS that don't have
multiarch, these private header files often contain arch-dependent
configuration, so they are placed in /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 as
appropriate so that the 32-bit and 64-bit packages are co-installable.

 bindings is a Node.js module for require()ing a native module's .node file.

 Throughout the course of Node.js's native addon history, addons have ended
up
 being compiled in a variety of different places, depending on which build
tool
 and which version of node was used. To make matters worse, now the gyp
build
 tool can produce either a Release or Debug build, each being built into
 different locations.

 This module checks all the possible locations that a native addon would be

multiarch: arch dependent header file path choice

2014-06-28 Thread Osamu Aoki
Hi,

The path for the arch dependent header file seems to have several options.

 1) /usr/include//*.h
 2) /usr/include///*.h
 3) /usr/lib///include/*.h

I would like to know rationale for each choice, especially between 2 and 3.

I am sure they all are functioning choice but intriguing to see choice 3.

(I was looking for the typedef of gsize in gobject header files in
/usr/include/glib-2.0.  It tool me time to find it in
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h)

As I look around on my system, I observe followings

For 1, *.h are:
expat_config.h
ffi.h
ffitarget.h
fpu_control.h
gmp.h
ieee754.h
lua5.1-deb-multiarch.h
lua5.2-deb-multiarch.h
zconf.h

For 2,  are
python3.3m
openssl
ruby-2.0.0
c++
...

For 3,  are:
glib-2.0
gtk-2.0
gtk-3.0
dbus-1.0 (dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h as *.h)

Osamu

motivation is the most important and most scarce resource in a project
like Debian. With that in mind: If you you feel like thanking someone,
please do! And if you think they deserve the support publicly (which can
make a big difference when people are unsure whether their work is
appreciated, which is the case more often than not), then do it on the
mailing list or the bug report. Such a mail, although of little content,
has more value that most opinionated mails repeated stated on mailing
lists like this.

Also, most Debianer are (by necessity) trained to ignore mail that has
little information for them, so I wouldn’t worry about the “spammyness”
of such a mail.

Thanks for bringing this up!

Joachim

No, you want to make use of the support for globs or regexes, see 
apt_preferences(5).

libpam-systemd, live-config-systemd, systemd-cron, systemd-sysv and 
systemd-ui all have Depends: systemd, so don't need to be excluded 
specifically. systemd-gui is just a transitional package and 
systemd-shim Depends: libpam-systemd.

If you need further assistance with Debian's package management you 
might want to take this to debian-user.

Kind regards,
Andrei

Why systemd-shim?

Bug#752995: ITP: python-xstatic -- XStatic base package with minimal support code

2014-06-28 Thread Thomas Goirand
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Thomas Goirand 

* Package name: python-xstatic
  Version : 1.0.0
  Upstream Author : Thomas Waldmann 
* URL : https://bitbucket.org/thomaswaldmann/xstatic
* License : Expat
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : XStatic base package with minimal support code

 XStatic is a packaging standard to package external (often 3rd party) static
 files as a python package, so they are easily usable on all operating systems,
 with any package management system or even without one.
 .
 Many python projects need to use some specific data files, like javascript,
 css, java applets, images, etc. Sometimes these files belong to YOUR project
 (then you may want to package them separately, but you could also just put
 them into your main package). But in many other cases, those files are
 maintained by someone else (like jQuery javascript library or even much bigger
 js libraries or applications) and you definitely do not really want to merge
 them into your project. So, you want to have static file packages, but you
 don’t want to get lots of stuff you do not want. Thus, stuff required by
 XStatic file packages (especially the main, toplevel XStatic package) tries to
 obey to be a MINIMAL, no-fat thing. We won’t "sell" you any web framework or
 other stuff you don't want. Maybe there will be optional XStatic extensions
 for all sorts of stuff, but they won't be required if you just want the files.
 .
 By having static files in packages, it is also easier to build virtual envs,
 support linux/bsd/... distribution package maintainers and even windows
 installs using the same mechanism.

The disadvantage with this approach is that you need an entry for every
package you don't want installed.

  Description : headless display inside Xvfb

 Python wrapper for running a display inside X virtual framebuffer (Xvfb).
 .
 In the X Window System, Xvfb or X Virtual FrameBuffer is an X11 server that
 performs all graphical operations in memory, not showing any screen output.
 This virtual server does not require the computer to run or to even have a
 screen or an input device. Only a network layer is necessary.
