Mozilla PSM (https support)
Since the RSA code was put in the public domain, the Personal Security Manager (aka PSM) that allows SSL/https connections has become opensource under the same license as mozilla (MPL/GPL) Facts: - License is DFSG Free (MPL/GPL) - Uses OpenSSL for encryption (BSD Style License(s)) - Soure is in upstream mozilla cvs tree, and will (if not already) be be in upstream release tarballs - PSM Requires mozilla libraries to build Questions: - Can the PSM go in Main? - If Not in main, how do I build this so that mozilla(noncrypto parts) goes in main, while mozilla-psm goes to non-us/main with minimum amount of manual work? (when answering this, keep the autobuilders in mind) - Is there anything I've forgotten? Frank aka Myth pgpWp7638BlVN.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: Mozilla PSM (https support)
I have come to new information... The PSM is completely self-contained in the mozilla source tree, so all my previous problems are null and void Frank aka Myth pgpKHi21ImoZ7.pgp Description: PGP signature

As many already know, I've been building mozilla debs and placing them on master for general consumption. I have been informed by the previous maintainer that he would like to get rid of it. I am hereby placing an official adoption on mozilla by his request. I will have a new mozilla package uploaded that will fix many hidden bugs by the end of the weekend at the latest.

Not to get off on a rant here.....
Hi, you may know me from such irc channels as #debian and #debian-devel as Myth. If you have a short temper, don't read this. If you are more advocate about freedom at any cost than RMS, don't read this. If you just ggot done reading the RBL/DUL/ORBS thread, please, don't take your anger out on me. This is just my opinions on what I've seen in the debian project in the last 2+ years that I've been using it. People seem to be too caught up in other people's freedom to help us create the best distro with the least problems. Example: /usr/doc - /usr/share/doc transition voted to be held because potato was supposed to freeze back in november. Freeze got delayed, and 4+ months later, no one has taken this transition seriously. I am to assume that all debian developers are mature individuals who understand the concept of deadlines, yet giving this much slack only causes the releases to be later and later. New-maintainer has been closed waaay too long. I first applied back in May of last year, only to find that they were not acepting new apps. Then in september I find that my app was lost anyway. I have been told get a sponsor and do other things; but after 6+ months of getting a sponsor and doing other things, it is still frustrating that I (and many others like me) can't officially be part of the debian crew. Yes, I know it is a lot of work to process the applications, but those of us who weren't/aren't maintainers had no information about why it was close, when it would open, or if [EMAIL PROTECTED] was just sent to /dev/null. Now that a new process has been initiated, this problem will never hopefully occur again. These may sound like the disgruntled ramblings of a frustrated wannabe developer, but I hope you can see where I am coming from. Now, before you flame me, or tell me things I have read 100 times on this list in the last year and a half I've been reading it, please for all of our sakes, take a deep breath, step back, think about the situation, and inform us all of where I am mistaken in a mature manner. Thank you, This ends your normal broadcast day. pgpctYnxamVQ0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: xterm and gnome-terminal have diferent defaults? [was: Bug#60753: mutt: /etc/Muttrc should not use colors]

Not trying the revive this question, but I do have one question: If I use mutt from inside xterm, the default key for previous-line is Backspace, and Del doesn't do nothing, but if I use it from inside gnome-terminal, it works the other way around, ie, Backspace doesn't do nothing and Del goes to previous-line. I know the problem is with gnome-terminal, so the question is how do I change the default binding of DEL in gnome-terminal? I've browse through /usr/share/doc/gnome-terminal, but that's a dead end :-( Thanks. pedro This is actually a bug in libzvt2, I have submitted a patch to libzvt2 to comply with debian xterm specs. Hopefully the maintainer will apply this and upload to potato soon Frank aka Myth
Re: Packages should not Conflict on the basis of duplicate funct

You are trying to circumvent the norm. If I wanted to compile them by hand, why would I even bother with the Debian packaging system? Debian is operating on making the easy case easy. 90+% of our users want to just install a package and go. Perhaps we would have more users if we didn't maintain such a mentality. 90+% of our users probably don't run production servers. Is there some reason you don't want to cater to 100% of our users if possible? Example: I run gnome, I keep the debian packages installed in the normal location I compile cvs every once in awhile into /usr/local/gnome I have the knowlege to do this, and anyone who plans on running something unstable, or outside the norm should also have the knowlege to do this. Now I haven't looked into it much, but debconf may be able to help. If it is as powerful as it looks, you could put a question on some daemons asking if you will be running more than one instance, and if so configure accordingly. I will personally never do this on a production machine, but if you wish to research it further, I suggest you research debconf Frank aka Myth PS: I know my lines are longer than 76 characters, fix your own pager/viewers wordwrap -- Some people claim that the UNIX learning curve is steep, but at least you only have to climb it once.
Re: Steve Haslam and Gnome in potato
On Thu, Sep 16, 1999 at 02:02:06PM +0200, Raphael Hertzog wrote: Hi everybody, does anybody know if Steve Haslam is still with us (is he in holidays ?) ? Because he's the maintainer of gnome-core and gnome-libs but source those packages are not very well maintained. There are some RCB and many, many bugs. I've mailed him last week but got no answer. (check http://master.debian.org/~hertzog/qa/report-byscore.html to see the number of bugs) I'd like that someone package a new upstream version of both gnome-core and gnome-libs and check which bugs have been corrected. Each upstream bug should be forwarded in the Gnome BTS if the bug is still present in the new version. If the bug is debian-only then try to correct it. :) It's time to do it right now, before Gnome 1.0.50 so that all bugs will be corrected in Gnome 1.0.50 that will come soon (one or two weeks probably). If nobody is willing to do it, I'll do it myself. I'm not an official maintainer, but I have compiled gnome quite a bit, and have looked at the packages. I'd be happy to help test and configure new packages for 1.0.50. PS: if you want to put the debian/* in CVS, I can do that as well.
