This arrived today. Any ideas on how to proceed? Is it possible to create a Hurd-specific fork of the latest ISC-DHCP release? DHCP is an essential package in the Debian Installer. I went and read the Debian bug report. The difficulty seems to be with the patch fix_ftbfs4hurd.dpatch. I have to say that on reading that patch I understood upstream's reluctance. I don't think it looks to me like a correct and appropriate fix for build portability problems. There are two things involved in that patch, the PATH_MAX issues in dh_client.c and dhcpd.c, and the changes to lpf.c. In my first version, I did split the relevant lpf.c parts into a Hurd-specific one called lpf_get_hw_addr.c. Later Samuel Thibault changed that into lpf.c directly, by defining a new macro USE_LPF_HWADDR, and use that. In case having a Hurd-specific part of lpf.c is more easily accepted by upstream, we can make these changes to the current patch. Unfortunately the upstream bug tracker is secret so we can't see any discussion there, but the initial message sent to dhcp-bugs@isc doesn't seem really to explain the thinking behind the patch. That message was sent by the DM, and did not contain much more information than the Debian bug report itself (and the patch). Where can I find the detailed explanation of why this patch is required and how it works to fix the problems ? At the moment I can't even seem to find an error message from an FTBFS log.

Looks like there is no old FTBFS build log, but since the build will fail due to PATH_MAX issues, why is a failed build log so important? Since the patch was created this package was built using the patch in Debian bug #616290 and is available in debian-ports since March 2011. That is the reason for not queuing this package to the buildds, it would be a waste of time. Please refer to Samuel Thibault, he is the buildd admin, also a DM and DD. I am neither! Any submission of a patch allegedly fixing a bug (by which I mean to include a portability problem), to any project, should include a clear description, in detail, of what the bug is thought to be and how the patch solves it. I wrote in parts of my previous mail (which you removed) about the two issues: PATH_MAX and lpf.c. And PATH_MAX is not only a problem with this package!

You asked for more information, and it is there. It is also available from the debian-hurd mailing list. I cannot rewrite history, can I? Are there any rules for what to include in a patch? I've never seen one. I'm afraid you need to go back and revise your submissions to isc-dhcp upstream. You need to: * Identify what the separate problems are Note: I have not submitted any patch to upstream ISC-DHCP, read the bug log! Neither has Samuel, all communication was via the DM in this bug report! The patch was submitted upstream by the Debian Maintainer, Andrew Pollock. * For each individual problem: - Research applicable best practices and standards Done already! - Decide accordingly whether the fault lies with isc-dhcp or hurd See above, PATH_MAX and lpf.c! - Decide how to fix the problem The patch is already there! It could be revised if upstream had any interest in communicating, either with the patch submitters or the DM. - Create and test a separate patch, either against isc-dhcpd or hurd or perhaps both There is no patch against Hurd, only against isc-dhcp! - Write a clear and detailed explanation; this explanation should cover all of the matters I've just mentioned. We will do that (in addition to the previous mail) if upstream was interested in communicating. So far our (Debian's) communications with dhcpd upstream on this topic seem to be lacking in this area. If you like I would be happy to review your next submissiosn to upstream, before you send them. As said before: _ALL_(the very limited) communication with upstream has been via the DM, and the Debian bug. There has been _no_ submission upstream of _any_ patches, either by me or Samuel. And the DM is Andrew Pollock, at least this is what the package webpage says. Who are in the Debian ISC DHCP Maintainers group I don't have any idea, where is that found? I think Samuel should reply on this matter, I just happen to be the person submitting the bug report. And I am very grateful for his help in creating the patch to make isc-dhcp working for GNU/Hurd.

DHCP is an essential package in the Debian Installer. Is it possible to do something at Debian level?

Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2011 17:57:03 + Hi Svante, Dear isc-dhcp developers. I am sorry to bother you again about this issue. Maybe this bug has not been closed yet due to lack of time, most people are very busy with everyday life. As seen below, the patch for GNU/Hurd for isc-dhcp was promised to appear in the latest release. Unfortunately it was not. The patch is of very large importance for GNU/Hurd since until now the architecture is not supported. Additionally, the Debian maintainer is reluctant to include this patch due to that a non-trivial amount of code is changed, and there are two new configuration files included too. The patch submitted to Debian bug #616290 in 3 March 2011 to 4.1.1-P1-17 and forwarded upstream, applies without problems also for the new release, 4.2.2-1, from 10 August 2011. Thanks! I'm afraid that a mistake was made earlier when the response was given that we planned to incorporate the submitted patch for ticket #24697. This seems to have been due to an internal misunderstanding. Subsequently we've reviewed the patch and discussed at length the request to have it included and have to say that we have no plans to incorporate it in the near future. We have some technical reservations about the proposed change in relation to the effect they might have in other OS environments, and additionally we don't have a test environment in which to verify the stability/supportability of the resulting build(s) going forward. We receive a large volume of development work requests, and while we accept that this one is of importance to the gnu/hurd maintainers, we understand that the number of users of this OS is relatively small and we have to take this into account when deciding how to utilise our resources. So with regret for the disappointment that this answer will cause, our response has to be that this is not something that we can do now, although of course the decision can be revisited in the future if circumstances change.

A short question about apt-get build-dep
Hi, I have a slight problem when building opensp for GNU/Hurd. In the build-dep list for opensp we have: apt-cache showsrc opensp|grep Build-Depends Build-Depends: debhelper ( 7.0.0), dh-buildinfo, xmlto, poppler-utils, openjade1.3 | openjade, jadetex, docbook-dsssl When issuing 'apt-get build-dep opensp' openjade1.3 is installed. The problem is that opensp does not build with that version. However it builds OK with openjade (currently 1.4devel1-20). Does changing the order prefer openjade before openjade1.3? Or would adding openjade1.3 [!hurd-i386] be a better solution. I edited the Build-Depends entry of opensp in /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.se.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_source_Sources as a test but all the time openjade1.3 was selected.

How to do an NMU?
Hi, After waiting for a long time on updated packages, with patches, to emacs and gdb for GNU/Hurd I think it is time for NMUs. The patches are minor, but crucial for the function on GNU/Hurd! emacs23.2+1-7: #610576 filed 20 Jan 2011. No response from the maintainer. gdb7.1-1: #579834 filed 30 Apr 2010. No response from the maintainer. Reading the instructions http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu the requirements for an NMU seems to be fulfilled. Do you need a sponsor for the build and upload? I'm not yet able to sign the packages I build. It would be better to get the patches applied and let the buildds do the job. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

A question about the debian installer
Hi, This is a question about the Debian installer. Don't know which mailing list is appropriate, sending to devel and boot. When choosing the rescue mode of the Debian CD, I tried netinst, you have to go through: language, keyboard, locale, root user setup, ordinary user setup, networking and root partition (+something I forgot?) before being presented with the option to run a shell or reinstall Grub. Why do I have to set up root, user and networking in rescue mode?? Normally you don't need the users or network to run a rescue shell (or reinstall grub). I it really necessary to go through all steps as ordinary install for the rescue mode? Thanks! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Why are evo*-dbg binary files not executable or don't run when made executable?
I'm trying to debug a problem together with the evolution developers with evolution-data-server crashing when adding new email contacts and accessing address book. However, when downloading and trying to run the binary files we find that they are not executable. changing the executable flag by chmod, they still don't load.

lilo-22.3.2-3 trashed my SCSI disk
Hello, After upgrade of lilo in unstable my whole SCSI disk got trashed. It could only be recovered with the use of the IBM drive fitness test tool, and a complete erase disk was necessary :-( What happened? A reinstall of Woody showed that it can only boot from the MBR partition, not the root partition, i.e. boot=/dev/sda, works! boot=/dev/sda1, does not work! What has changed for newer versions of lilo? I have been running Debian stable/testing/unstable for several years now without any problems before. Note also that I have a dual disk system, SCSI and IDE, therefore the disk=, bios= statements in lilo.conf. The disk partitioning tools, such as cfdisk requires both the SCSI disk and the IDE disk to have at least one partition with the boot flag set. Is this really necessary? Does the install=menu stuff have anything to do with the crash? Maybe grub is better with respect to error recovery?

Installation screen proposal (was Please test this woody cd image)
Hello, When booting the Woody CD you are presented to the information screen giving general information and ways to get help, etc _before_ choosing which kernel to boot. After choosing kernel and booting, however, you immediately get to the 'Choose language', 'Choose Language Variant' and 'Release Notes' screens without any means to back out, correct mistakes etc. Finally after the first four screens you enter the 'Installation Main Menu'. I have the following proposal of an additional installation screen, as follows: = After the initial screen, and _before_ entering the language choice present another screen, telling the user what is happening next, eg: Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux 3.0/Woody. You have chosen to boot kernel xx, eg bf42. The steps to follow next in the installation procedure are: 1) Choose Language 2) Choose Language Variant 3) Read Release notes 4) Enter Installation Main Menu When you enter the Main menu, several choices will be presented, and a default path for install will also be given. From there you will have the choice to back out of the installation if needed. If you feel unsure, need to get more information, make adjustments etc before proceeding you now have the choice to back out by removing the installation CD and press RESET or CONTROL-ALT-DEL now. This is also the way to go if you want to restart the installation using another kernel. For those of who are interested in the boot log you can do so by ...
