From the outside (non-DD, lurking for 15 years or so) the FTP Team 
appears to be adamant that the current process is The Only True Way to 
do copyright review.

Without a clear statement from the FTP Team that alternative copyright 
review processes might even be considered there is very little 
motivation for anyone to even start working on it.

The start could be something as simple as "we (the FTP Team) will 
prioritise packages in NEW that have at least $number of reviews from 
other DDs".

Custom header would work, but it's sufficient to add it as yet another 
pseudo-header, together with Packgage: etc. ;)

An idea would be to use[1] and promote it as security support for 
testing, also outside the freeze, e.g. for the cases where a security 
relevant update via unstable would take more than one day or so to 
migrate.

This reminds me of this proposal:

As far as I recall it also had the codename "bob" (after RollerBob), but

Yeah, learned that the hard way. SATA (or better) is a must for any 
storage application (NAS, etc.).

SATA-to-USB adapters can have other subtle side effects as well, like 
messing the detection of 4K blocks. Apparently SMART could also be an 
issue, though it seemed to work for me.

Any of the boards from pine64.org should do and as far as I know have 
quite good support (i.e. there are Debian Installer images for them) and 
all are 64 bit ;)

The PINE A64+ (2 GB RAM) is very stable for me, unless I put significant 
load on the USB connection (specifically *heavy* writing to an external 
HDD in a powered enclosure), but it could also be a power issue.

Because of this experience I'd avoid anything using micro USB for power 
(persons who know much more than me about that generally recommend 12V 
barrel connector, though Type-C is probably fine as well).

For a cheap board now I'd probably go for a ROCK64 (USB3 instead of 
USB2), or even a RockPro64 (better CPU, PCIe, unfortunately limited to 4 
GB RAM).

Heating could also be an issue under load, so you should consider 
getting at least a passive heat sink as well, just in case.

Kind regards,
Andrei

An RFP means you are requesting someone to package it. The best you can 
do is to make it as easy as possible for potential packagers to decide 
whether it's worth looking into it.

Especially the information about the license and programming language is 
very useful for this.

In this particular case it could make sense to Cc: the KDE Team as they 
might be interested in picking it up themselves.

Some mailer along the way mangled the line breaks and the report ended 
up against the package "wnppSeverity", which doesn't exist.

Also, the correct severity is "wishlist" (just a cosmetic detail).

The "RFP" is a tag meant to go in the subject / bug title instead of 
"TAG" (which I forgot to fix, doing it with this message).

In addition to the above, especially since this is an RFP, the report 
should contain more information about the package, like the upstream 
URL, license, etc. (see the link I provided below). This makes it easier 
for a potential contributor that is looking into packaging it.

Hope this explains,
Andrei

Possibly a consequence of the portability problem, advice on debian-user 
will almost always[1] use 'find' whenever the problem / solution 
involves searching for files.

For myself, I abandoned 'locate' as soon as I learned 'find', even of 
low power systems with storage on SD cards or connected via USB2.

As far as I recall that entry refers to CDs with the entire non-free 
component of the archive, not just firmware packages (which were seldom

Just an additional point, one of the first and most common advice on 
debian-user in case some hardware is not working properly (or at all) is 
to check for missing firmware, the most common being network cards and 
display adapters.

It probably belongs in the FAQ...

Well, Network Manager and systemd-networkd are completely different

In this case you could prepare a package yourself and ask for a sponsor 
to upload it, see https://mentors.debian.net/sponsors/

If you do so please retitle this "bug" to ITP (Intent To Package).

At least for me, on buster, it was also necessary to stop 
wpa_supplicant.service before restarting Network Manager.

I'm guessing the wpa_supplicant service should also be 'disable'd in 
order to prevent it from starting at next reboot (didn't test, I 
disabled it anyway).

That can also go in /etc/bash.bashrc to get rid of ~/.bashrc completely.

While not a developer I'll dare share some my changes as well.


At least 'linux' and 'screen' should be added to /etc/skel/.bashrc


# set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color)
case "$TERM" in
xterm-color|*-256color) color_prompt=yes;;
rxvt*) color_prompt=yes;;
linux) color_prompt=yes;;
screen*) color_prompt=yes;;
esac


Let's use packages in the distribution whenever possible ;)
I don't recall where I got the prompt command from...


# add git branch information to avoid commiting to 'master' by mistake
if [[ -e /usr/lib/git-core/git-sh-prompt ]]; then
. /usr/lib/git-core/git-sh-prompt
fi
GIT_PS1_SHOWUPSTREAM="verbose"
#PROMPT_COMMAND='__git_ps1 
"${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00;32m\]"
 "\[\033[00m\]\n└─> \$ "'
PROMPT_COMMAND='__git_ps1 
"${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00;32m\]"
 "\[\033[00m\]\$ "'


BTW, I prefer 'W' to 'w' (it's my only change below) :)


if [ "$color_prompt" = yes ]; then

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\W\[\033[00m\]\$
 '
else
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
fi
unset color_prompt force_color_prompt


'--human-readable' makes for a nicer 'ls -l' in the age of MiB, GiB 
files.

Maybe grep --color should be enabled by default as well?


# enable color support of ls and also add handy aliases
if [ -x /usr/bin/dircolors ]; then
test -r ~/.dircolors && eval "$(dircolors -b ~/.dircolors)" || eval 
"$(dircolors -b)"
alias ls='ls --color=auto --human-readable'
#alias dir='dir --color=auto'
#alias vdir='vdir --color=auto'

alias grep='grep --color=auto'
#alias fgrep='fgrep --color=auto'
#alias egrep='egrep --color=auto'
fi

Would there be cases where the "restricted" unit file is using options 
not present in the "unrestricted" unit file, and if yes, is that case 
worth supporting?

It seems to me like a unit file to SysV translator should just ignore 
the options it doesn't support, so it wouldn't be necessary to have two 
different unit files.

In my understanding of the issue it only affects users that already have 
a source in their lists, but the source changes.

It shouldn't have any impact on buster users that upgrade to bullseye 
*after* the release, because they are adding a new source.

The biggest impact at bullseye's release will be on buster users, 
because buster will change from stable to oldstable.

It might also have some impact to buster users upgrading to bullseye 
before the release, however, by then most package managers should be 
updated to deal with this correctly.

Kind regards,
Andrei

 The DocBook Authoring and Publishing Suite (DAPS) fills this gap by
 providing a tool set for easy creation and publication of DocBook sources on
 Linux. DAPS lets you create HTML (incl. webhelp), PDF, EPUB, man pages, and
 other formats with a single command.
 
 It automatically takes care of validating and filtering (profiling) your
 sources and automatically converts images into a format best suited for the
 output format. Furthermore one can easily create profiled source tarballs
 for translation or review.
 
 DAPS supports authors by providing linkchecker, validator, spellchecker, and
 editor macros. It is perfectly suited to manage large documentation projects
 with multiple authors using the DAPS docmanager.

some of the list regulars are not very familiar with bug triage, so I'm 
afraid the burden might fall on just a few.

Another option would, of course, be debian-devel, but I'm afraid that 
due to the big concentration of DDs the bugs might not be dealt with

There's always unknown-package@qa.d.o, but as far as I can tell at the

How about giving it a try with debian-user and see how it goes?

 Wait, you are asking for a discussion about the advantages and
 disadvantages of systemd, and in the same paragraph say you are about to
 leave Debian because of exactly this?
 
 In any case, your question is off-topic on debian-devel, please reask it
 on debian-user.

This has been (and still is) discussed on -user as well, so you might 
want to read the archives before reposting there.

Kind regards,

Re: systemd breaking display manager - no way to force?

 Hi everyone,
 
 so here we are, after the freeze, and systemd stubbornly rejects
 to start lightdm, my default display manager, and in turn tries
 to start lxdm, which does not work because it is not selected as
 default display manager. (Bug reported to systemd already)
 
 Is there *any* way to *force* systemd to start lightdm ...?

I have a hunch the bug is actually in lxdm (specifically the service 
file). It should be simple to verify:

- purge lxdm (remove might do it as well, but just for good measure)
- reconfigure lightdm (to make sure display-manager.service symlink 
  points to lightdm.service)

Kind regards,
Andrei

 Dear Maintainer,
 
 Telegram Desktop is the unoffical desktop client for the telegram messaging.
 Telegram is a secured and privacy platform like what's app, but better.
 Have a look on telegra.org for the description of API, Protocols and so on.

 The source is available on GitHub: https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop
 The software is distributed under the license GPLv3.

Re: aptitude dependency-resolver behaviors (was Re: apt-get install sysvinit-core removes gnome?)

 What I think is being asked for (and what I'd certainly like to see,
 anyway) is a way for the user, having figured out which packages they
 don't want removed, to tell the aptitude resolver that and have it taken
 into account in calculating a dependency solution.
 
 As it happens, there's an obvious way to do that: specify the package(s)
 you don't want removed on the aptitude command line.

It's also possible to do it in interactive mode.

Kind regards,
Andrei
