Does anybody know the roadmap of getting migration of boost 1.67 to 1.71

2020-03-20 Thread shirish शिरीष
Dear all,


Please cc me if somebody answers it,  Does anybody know when boost
1.67 will be out of the archive and boost 1.71 or later will be the
only one in buster cycle. I have been watching 936227 [1] as well as
the python2-rm transition slot [2] as well as the python 3.8
transition slot [3] . While we do have 1.71 in testing it's not the
default and nor is there an transition slot. [4]

There are packages like libtorrent-rasterbar which are being left
behind because it requites at least boost 1.69 or later.

Looking forward to know more.

2. https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/python2-rm.html

Could somebody look at quic and see if there is some implementation worth packaging ?

2019-01-26 Thread shirish शिरीष
Hi all,

I was reading https://blog.cloudflare.com/http-3-from-root-to-tip/ and
it seems to be interesting solution to a problem esp. to people
traveling. While there are some implementations already done
https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/wiki/Implementations I wasn't
able to find any in Debian (running Debian testing here.)  with some
bits from sid and experimental and an updated index.

I used '$ aptitude search quic'  and while I got many false-positives
but nothing which helps me.

In wnpp, I found only #841848 and saw that the code is unmaintained.

The only working repo. from Google is
https://quiche.googlesource.com/quiche/ although I guess most
Debianities would be interested in the IETF foss implementations.

If somebody is interesting in packaging one, feel free to ping me to
help with testing :)

The irrefutable argument is that most packages seem to think it's a
good and convenient way to do things and it does simplify things quite
a lot.

I didn't hear from the maintainers anything untoward except that it
would have breakage and probably needs fixing at various places.

I am at a loss as I'm not a coder but am open to testing any patches
and report any breakages if somebody can step up to do the same. I
have done that in the past

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=877717

where I was able to connect with the maintainer and we did couple of
rounds of testing before he got it right and was able to put it up on
experimental.

As far as 'not getting immediately my way'  the immediacy would have
been if I had filed a bug yesterday and bugged today, then your
statement would have been valid.

But couple of years is not immediate as Axel shared in the bug, if
memory serves me right, this was around October/November 2016

Dear Chris,

Had already done it, see #894332 ,  But don't think it's not going to
go anywhere from the last two times :( as it seems the effort to do it
is not the worth the effort as shared by the maintainer.

At least I tried, well guess just will have to learn to live with it.

what do people feel think of changing the configuration file path from ~/.aptitude/config to ~/.config/aptitude

2018-04-29 Thread shirish शिरीष
Dear all,

First of all thank you all the fine people who have contributed to
packaging and maintaining the whole suit of apt, aptitude, apt-get,
dpkg low and high-level variety of tools in Debian for system
administration and making good choices.

Please CC me if you any thoughts as although I'm subscribed to
debian-devel I have opted  out of receiving mails due to the
high-volume nature of the mailing list.

Now about a year back, I had proposed changing paths of the
configuration file ~/.aptitude/config to ~/.config/aptitude . The
reason is for a change in
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.6.html

As shared by somebody in
https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/8fpr6i/thoughts_on_changing_configuration_files_of/
I don't think I'm alone in this .

The obvious breakage would be in any scripts that use aptitude and one
way or the other depend or use the configuration path currently using
would be broken.

There may also be some subtle bugs which may or may not be uncovered
or not known which may be exposed by the change perhaps.

The other part which perhaps not correctly worded is that aptitude
would lose some of its special coolness as it would be in the space
where all other packages which use ~/.config are there and it would be
easier to find for common folks.

The upside if people think would be a good idea is that any perceived
or un-perceived fallout of the change, we would have at least a year
and a bit more to fix at least in Debian repos.

I do know that the Debian aptitude maintainers are conservative when
it comes to changes and understandably so.

I'm looking for people's thoughts on the above of what people think .
I am no coder hence I dunno how much work it would involve and would
the changes be self-sustained (till aptitude only) or the changes
would also lead to changes in libapt* packages although even then if a
transition were to be done it seems both seem to have smaller cycles
than some of the transition cycles we have got going through.

I did -

$ apt-rdepends -r aptitude
$ apt-rdepends -r libapt-pkg-dev

to have an idea in case if the change I ask meant they need to built
from source and transitioned.

I am sure there may be lacunae in my theory, but if not asked how would I know ?

Look forward to know.

why hasn't the debian transition freeze been announced or shared in debin testing info. or bits.debian.org ?

2018-04-25 Thread shirish शिरीष
Dear all,

I had read https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2018/04/msg6.html
so knew when the transition freeze is going to happen. For a blog
post/technical article I wanted to share about the transition freeze
and went to https://www.debian.org/releases/testing/ as well as
https://bits.debian.org/ but neither seems to have that info.

Shouldn't be the milestone including perhaps info. on tentative alpha
releases be put somewhere or are the dates subject to change ?

If the dates are locked down, it would be nicer to be able to
share/link to an official page on debian website rather than just an
e-mail.

Looking for info.

Hmm.. I was under the impression that DM or Debian Maintainers do not
have upload rights and only DD's have.

I am confused when I see packages such as
https://tracker.debian.org/news/896579/accepted-qbittorrent-403-1-source-amd64-into-unstable/
just to take as an example.
There have been few packages where I have been confused as well.

Now here it says -

Maintainer: Cristian Greco <crist...@debian.org>
Changed-By: Andrew Starr-Bochicchio <a...@debian.org>

now what role does or did Andrew play in the above. Is he the uploader
or just a reviewer of the work that Cristian Greco did ? Or is it some sort
of team-maintenance thing, not sure.

I do and did see that Cristian did upload some of the older package
releases but
now Andrew seems to be handling that part.

where would it show ?  Please share an example so I know what to look for.

I see two packages which have RFS against them in how-can-i-help

New packages waiting for sponsorship (reviews/tests are also useful):
 - logrotate - https://bugs.debian.org/884697 - RFS: logrotate/3.13.0-1 ITA
 - xml-core - https://bugs.debian.org/885641 - RFS: xml-core/0.18-1 [ITA]

but neither one of them shows up in tracker.debian.org .  I do see
that some people
have decided to adopt those packages which is good though.

Maybe I was not clear enough,  my concerns are not with the 'NEW' queue
i.e. $ aptitude search '~n' but for existing package updates also to have
the info. of package updates done but not yet in the archive in the
sidebar as well.

Maybe I should file a new bug ?

Simply, have a more effective feedback loop for know-how as to what's coming
while at the same time create less bit of noise in the BTS asking for
new point releases.

The only other recourse I know  is to traverse
https://incoming.debian.org/debian-buildd/pool/ and that isn't
user/human friendly as it's machine-friendly.

I hope I was able to clarify what I meant above.

PTS, salsa and knowing if a Debian Maintainer has uploaded a point release.

2018-03-18 Thread shirish शिरीष
Dear all,

While I read some bits of [1] I haven't read through the whole thread,
only some. While the gentleman concerned has shared about getting
through the 'new' process, I feel even for users some parts could use
more love.

Now as I understand it and please share if I'm in the wrong,  alioth
is going away and salsa is taking over repository creation, branching
and maybe at some point also the BTS although then reportbug would
have to be retooled to query salsa/gitlab so similar functionality can
be provided as it does for bug creation .

Now I know that debian has a watch file by which the maintainers of
packages come to know of new upstream binary releases as and when they
do and at times there maybe a time lag between upstream and getting
the binary in unstable.

Now if the package maintainer is just a DM, even (s)f he prepares a
package, (s)he still needs the ok of a DD to upload/sponsor the
package so it fit for distribution i.e. new, experimental or unstable
and  ftp-mirror and that whole process.

Now a user of the package is usually in the dark about this and there
is a possibility of upsetting the maintainer even though the person is
active on their own team.

I looked at the tracker.debian.org BTS page and saw [2] 317711 which
exactly talks of this kind of situation and more and this was filed in
2005 so it isn't something which isn't known, just hasn't been
acknowledged.

This unknowing became apparent to me when the debian-mate were doing
packaging for the 1.20.0 release [3] and more recently when I am
asking for a point release of qbittorrent [4] . In this case I know
that the maintainer is usually pretty active and perhaps uses the
package as well.

Dear Colin,

Thank you for pointing out the error of my ways. You are right. It
probably had to do more with the fact/bias that I came/used Debian
much later than I used various rpm distributions. I did see rpm
upgrade, downgrade was broken for a long time in a string of various
rpm-based distributions which later lead me to Ubuntu and then finally
to Debian.

Sorry for the noise.

Dear all,

Please CC me if somebody puts a reply

Another query but of more recent vintage is the idea of having yearly
elections for choosing DPL. Now while sadly Ian Murdock is not there
but am sure there are more than enough people who know and remember
why Ian Murdock felt the need to have yearly elections instead of a
2-5 year term.

Was it because of Bruce Perens as shared in

or something else ?


Question about dpkg Re: X facts about Debian - some fact checking and looking for ideas.

2017-08-29 Thread shirish शिरीष


Dear all,

Please CC me when answering or putting something on the thread.

When I started using ubuntu and then later Debian one of the first
tools I fell in love with was dpkg. Although nowadays we have multiple
tools like apt, aptitude, one of the biggest features of dpkg (which
is replicated by almost all tools are and were) upgrade, downgrade and
hold.

I was reading the wikipedia page about Debian
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEKrafft200531.E2.80.9332_39-0
 and it just cites about dpkg being the essential package manager in
1996.

>From what I remember most rpm based distributions during that time had
rpm broken which means if you upgraded, you couldn't downgrade and
there were lots of times when the system broke due to one issue or the
other.

I was under the impression that due to rpm brokeness Debian and
thereafter dpkg came into being. From the wikipedia page it seems the
motivation came from SLS - a derivative of Slackware.

Could or does somebody remember what discussions took place when dpkg
was being put up as an ideal package manager. It still is, in case of
breakage or something goes wrong and the other tools can't fix.

I am more interested in what sort of scenario was then. I also read
that YUM the fedora package manager borrowed lot of ideas and
functionality from dpkg but do not know of any authoritative data to
backup, only rumors.

Could somebody share some info. on that.

Looking forward to know more.

Dear Guillem,

Thank you for pointing in the right direction.

The first thing I wanted to find out, the separation of changelogs
happened in 1998 according to dpkg changelogs.

dpkg (1.4.0.22) frozen unstable; urgency=medium

  * Non-maintainer bug-fix release
  * Install main changelog file as `changelog.gz' instead of
`changelog.dpkg.gz' (Debian Policy, section 5.8) (Bug#6052,15157)
...

...

 Juan Cespedes <cespe...@debian.org>  Sun,  5 Apr 1998 17:37:01 +0200


And the earliest mention as correctly pointed out by you started In
August 1994 itself.


Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994  Ian Murdock  (imurd...@debra.debian.org)

..

..

ChangeLog begins Thu Aug 25 11:46:27 1994 for dpkg 0.93.5.

which means it was there from starting itself.

Thank you again for sharing that.

PackageConfigUpgrade: Was X facts about Debian - some fact checking and looking for ideas.

2017-08-28 Thread shirish शिरीष
Dear Audrey,

Please CC me. I read
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/08/msg00600.html

My mistake, I assumed the package was named lcdproc and not
pkg-config-model which the package is all about. Sorry for being a bit
incoherent, just not in the best of the health.

I had seen the page https://wiki.debian.org/PackageConfigUpgrade and
had to read it twice before understanding that the package it talks
about is pkg-config.model.

I do agree with your assessment and I imagine it might take quite a
bit of work. That is why I am against blindly taking maintainer
changes and usually cancel updates which have a diff. or need me to
take a decision on a later/next day morning where I'll be more fresh
and have time to see what is best for my setup.

Dominique, thank you, that was a nice find. I'm looking both new and
old innovations which might be credited to Debian, both in technical
terms or in social terms. I would discuss about lcdproc in another
e-mail altogether which I just did. I do have loads of questions about
Debian history which perhaps might or might not be interesting to
people, I just fired the first one just a short while ago -

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/08/msg00597.html

While some of the queries might seem to be trivial there is lack of
authoritative answers to them.

@Andrey Rahmatullin  I read your answer at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/08/msg00598.html but it
doesn't tell me whether this obvious idea was born in Debian or some
other GNU/Linux distribution. I do not the early history of Debian so
it is possible that at one point it was a single changelog.gz file and
then separation of the two changelogs happened along the road or
something like that.

If somebody knows something it would be nice to know. I had tried to
look if early packages could be found but sadly snapshot.debian.org
has records from 2k5 only, a simple
http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/?year=2000 reveals from when
the packages are available. The first Debian stable release was in
1996. https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/project-history/ch-releases.en.html

It would be helpful if somebody has one of the 1996 packages snapshots
and can share how the changelogs were at that point of time. That
might give a bit of reference as to how things were and if there were
any changes between them and now.

Also the crucial question if whether this idea came in Debian first
and then flowed to other distributions or was it was first used in
Redhat and then came to Debian would be interesting in itself.

Hope I gave a bit more context from where I'm coming from.

lcdproc was Re: X facts about Debian - some fact checking and looking for ideas.

2017-08-28 Thread shirish शिरीष
Dear Dominique,

Thank you for sharing about lcdproc as response to my mail. For my 2
cents, I disliked the idea (of lcdproc) immediately as simply applying
maintainer changes defeats the very purpose the tool declares or
claims to help. For e.g. I know of quite a few people where the modem
login page is at a different rather than the universal 192.168.0.1
address.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network and at times
have to write manual /etc/network/interfaces rules in order for
internet to work. In India, in practise this happens quite a bit
within ethernet based modem/routers, leave alone cable modems.

Couple of URL's to tell what I mean (only for the modem router page mind you) .

http://www.in.techspot.com/features/tips-tricks/a-list-of-common-default-router-ip-addresses/articleshow/47795297.cms

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/how-to-find-your-routers-ip-and-admin/

Add to that an ISP's settings that an elderly person might have to set up.

https://bpedia.co.in/bsnl-modem-configuration/ - just one ISP's settings.

And there are 244 ISP's in India alone according to December 2016 latest list

http://www.dot.gov.in/sites/default/files/2016_08_24%20ISP-DS_0.pdf?download=1

In such a scenario a grandma's internet may simply stop working after
an upgrade if she blindly accepts a maintainer's changes. It has
happened with me in the past even though I know a bit about how things
work, let alone a non-technical grandma.

What is actually required is a tool which asks questions in a manner
in which the grandma or anybody not knowing technology can answer.
This I accept is really hard to fix :(

Apart from cryptic info. what is also needed to fix is also cryptic
errors which is not easy for non-technical people to diagnose what is
wrong but that's a different question altogether.

history questions about how changelog.gz and changelog.Debian.gz came about.

2017-08-28 Thread shirish शिरीष
Dear all,   

Please CC me if anybody has an answer to below as I'm not subscribed
to either of the mailing lists due to the volume both ML generate.

I like the way Debian gives various changelogs . For instance for most
packages it has -

changelog.gz - This is the upstream changelog giving details of the
differences between any two versions or at times even point versions.
Nowadays usually distilled from $ git shortlog or whatever equivalent
command in whatever vcs is being used.

changelog.Debian.gz - This talks about changes/improvements done to
the packaging.  Some of the common changes include changes in the
packaging team/uploader, changes to the standards versions, Updating
build-depends, any patches which fixes some issue in Debian which has
not been accepted by upstream, any changes to either debian/rules or
debian/control which might be notable and the uploader feels that they
need to be mentioned in the changelog (notable).

While I'm pretty happy with the way Debian organizes this thing, was
this idea of having separate changelogs to lessen confusion born at
Debian or some other GNU/Linux distribution. If so, where and when
this idea was born, implemented before Debian ?

In short, was Debian the first distribution to use the concept to
apply for third-party software.

X facts about Debian - some fact checking and looking for ideas.

2017-08-23 Thread shirish शिरीष
Dear all,

I have been writing some beginner articles in my spare-time to
talk/share about Debian and make it more popular.

In that direction I have and had been penning few articles at
https://itsfoss.com/author/shirish/

As shared before, these are beginner articles and are meant only to
bring awareness about Debian to the masses.

Just a few days back, Debian turned 24
https://bits.debian.org/2017/08/debian-turns-24.html

While I have been thinking about sharing the number of packages, the
number of developers, the diversity, the debconf's and where debconfs
have been held over the years for starters but all of these I have
already shared before.

I saw hartmann's article on p.d.o. the other day
http://hartmans.livejournal.com/96841.html and I started pondering
about some of the lesser unknown innovative ideas of debian which
people don't know about.

For e.g. the reproducible builds project
https://reproducible-builds.org/ seems to have a lot of weight and
faith of DD's but is not known at all (or maybe some slightly bit)
outside the technical circles.

Are there any such unsung technical/non-technical or social
innovations that Debian has done that is now known/or lesser known
which Debianities should know about and be proud about. Having more
Debian fanboys should also increase both participation and
contribution to Debian.

As far as fact-checking goes, can anybody share about Debian and Kali
Linux relationship in bit more detail. AFAIK Raphaël Hertzog is one of
the main developers and there has been lot of symbiotic relationship
between the two projects but how much both projects have benefited
from this partnership has not been codified or told/shared anywhere
AFAIK.

The only thing I could get is
https://docs.kali.org/policy/kali-linux-relationship-with-debian which
seems to be pretty dry and short as far as documentation goes.

Looking forward to knowing more.

what's the latest on the update of moving from alioth to pagure.

2017-07-16 Thread shirish शिरीष
Dear all,

While I love and loved alioth, I know for probably newish people the
interface is somewhat ugly.

>From what I did see in https://lwn.net/Articles/724986/ it seems there
were lots of pros and cons which were discussed. I was also able to
converse with Alexander Wirt and download the survey which wasn't
available anymore for public consumption.

Can somebody tell/share which forge are the developers looking forward
to replace alioth with, pagure or something else .

The choices seem to be to do lot of coding if some project/product is
taken which is not mature enough or has features that we want and in
some cases there is restrictive licensing or/and have two products,
one which has foss licensing and the other which has commercial
aspects but more features.

While there doesn't seem to be any hurry to replace alioth today, the
clock is ticking.

There is/was some discussion about it in May 2017
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2017/05/msg00095.html, the
thread I'm reading right now. Would be nice though if somebody can
share what is/are the possible scenarios.

In short, this alone use-case answers Steve's original question which
was primarily are there any users who use or would use this tool or
his time would be better spent somewhere else. I think just the above
use-case and number of users answers the need for a tool like
live-wrapper. As has been pointed out by me and others, it just needs
more testing (documentation and love by devs.) to drive more usage
forwards.

One of the things at least to my mind is we (the users) do not know
which is most closest testing release  near to the final release. For
e.g.  take the last/latest announcement done by Cyril Brulebois on
13th June talking about the Stretch RC5 release. In the whole
announcement, there is not even a hint to potential testers that this
might be the closest to the final released (gold) image. I am
presuming/assuming that Cyril was also talking about the live image
and not the just the installer improvements.

What would be nicer/better perhaps if debian-live does announcements
on d-d-a  and more importantly hint as when it's going to be nearer to
release (final image).

We are going to have a release party this week-end in Pune (haven't
posted the details yet at https://wiki.debian.org/ReleasePartyStretch
, hoping the organizers will do the needful otherwise will do it in a
day or two.

I/we could also have testing parties before the release as well with a
two-week window to the final image . This also gives times to students
to see how things work in the real world as well.

I can't volunteer for any activities atm (due to health issues) except
for taking part in organising testing party in Pune before release and
getting more people to file bugs in case they hit problems.

I am hopeful we can find a better way/solution to the above.

Gregor,

Sorry for the late reply. Were you able to file a bug in apt-listbugs
or should I ? I'm still seeing the same  issue/bug still.

[$]  apt-listbugs list wpasupplicant
 [5:32:13]
Retrieving bug reports... Done
Parsing Found/Fixed information... Done
grave bugs of wpasupplicant (→ ) 
 b1 - #849122 - With 2.6-2 i dont have the wifi adapter in the
(network-manager) list available.
serious bugs of wpasupplicant (→ ) 
 b2 - #849077 - wpasupplicant: [Regression] Updating wpasupplicant
makes not possible to connect to encrypted WiFi
 b3 - #849875 - broadcom-sta-dkms: Wifi association took too long,
failing activation
Summary:
 wpasupplicant(3 bugs)

I don't know much about 'epoch' but I could make reference to the
discussion on debian-devel. That might be enough for the apt-listbugs
maintainers to take some call.

Btw pkg-wpa-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org seems to be a moderated list
and haven't heard anything from them till yet as well.

Looking forward to your advice/answer.

Till later.

If what you are saying is correct, then either the BTS has tagged them
incorrectly affecting stretch versions as well Or a bug in
apt-listbugs. I am not in a position to experiment and find out more
as I'm ill. Please see if you can find out more if possible.

Till later.

Fwd: debian stretch being released without fixing wpagui and wpasupplicant ?

2017-06-16 Thread shirish शिरीष
Please excuse for the delay as I'm not well.

incidentally Paul Wise shared on debian-release that anyone can post
on debian-devel hence posting so it falls on relevant people to fix or
at least warn users of situation with broadcom chips along other bugs
in wpagui & wpasupplicant. Details below :-

Subject: debian stretch being released without fixing wpagui and wpasupplicant ?
To: debian-release <debian-rele...@lists.debian.org>

Dear all,

I had shared the below at debian-publicity in response to the stretch
announcement in which I was given this answer -

https://lists.debian.org/debian-publicity/2017/06/msg00012.html

Now as I'm not a DD (nor hopeful of becoming a non-uploading DD at
least for sometime) hence debian-devel list is closed to me and the
only way to get my plea heard is the debian-release team. So without
further ado, here it is -

I have a query, how is stretch being released without multiple bugs
fixed for wpagui and wpasupplicant, I had a look at the stretch
announcement notes as well as the serious and grave bugs filed against
wpagui and wpasupplicant i.e.

b1 - #849122 - With 2.6-2 i dont have the wifi adapter in the
(network-manager) list available
b2 - #849077 - wpasupplicant: [Regression] Updating wpasupplicant
makes not possible to connect to encrypted WiFi
 b3 - #849875 - broadcom-sta-dkms: Wifi association took too long,
failing activation

While some of the bugs is related to broadcom only chipsets, other bug
could be hit by anyone. So unless there are packages which can take
place of wpagui and wpasupplicant and these packages can be removed
then please inform users.

Or at the very least warn them through stretch announcement as to what
they should do otherwise users having broadcom chips would be in for a
very nasty surprise when upgrading.

Maybe some of the experts could weigh in and make a proper message
about the above bugs situation.

Till later.

* License : Expat
  Programming Lang: JavaScript
  Description : walk the ast with references to parent nodes

 This module is a faster version of
 [falafel](https://github.com/substack/node-falafel)
 that only does ast walking and `.parent` tracking, not source transforms.
 # example
 var astw = require('astw');
 var deparse = require('escodegen').generate;
 var walk = astw('4 + beep(5 * 2)');
 walk(function (node) {
var src = deparse(node);
console.log(node.type + ' :: ' + JSON.stringify(src));

* URL : https://github.com/Raynos/date-now
* License : Expat
  Programming Lang: JavaScript
  Description : A requirable version of Date.now()

 Use-case is to be able to mock out Date.now() using require interception.
 For example
 var now = require("date-now")
 var ts = now()
 var ts2 = Date.now()
 assert.equal(ts, ts2)
 Example of seed:
 var now = require("date-now/seed")(timeStampFromServer)
 // ts is in "sync" with the seed value from the server
 // useful if your users have their local time being a few minutes
 // out of your server time.
 var ts = now()

  Description : abstract base class for hash-streams

 Abstract base class to inherit from if you want to create streams
 implementing the same API as node crypto Hash 1. For example
 function MyHash () {

 }
 inherits(MyHash, HashBase)
 MyHash.prototype._update = function () {
  // hashing one block with buffer this._block
 }
 MyHash.prototype._digest = function () {

  Description : `[].reduce()` for old browsers

 Create a result `res` by folding `acc = f(acc, xs[i], i)` over each
element in
 the array `xs` at element `i`. If `init` is given, the first `acc` value is
 `init`, otherwise `xs[0]` is used. For example
 var reduce = require('array-reduce');
 var xs = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
 var sum = reduce(xs, function (acc, x) { return acc + x }, 0);
 console.log(sum);
 Output:

would somebody be interested in packaging libcpuid and I-Nex for Debian

2016-09-22 Thread shirish शिरीष
Hi all,

For quite sometime I have been working with upstream of libcpuid and
I-Nex to see if the debian packaging can be improved.

See  https://github.com/anrieff/libcpuid/issues/47

and

https://github.com/eloaders/I-Nex/issues/29

Libcpuid is a dependancy for having I-Nex in Debian.

Libcpuid is complete in itself, as it passes lintian tests but as I
don't have packaging skill set, hopefully somebody can take that up.

An alternative to I-Nex using the same dependancy of libcpuid can be
found at https://github.com/X0rg/CPU-X but as can be seen it would
need some more dependencies which would need to be packaged while
I-Nex just needs libcpuid to be packaged.

There is already an RFP for libcpuid at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745040

and I-Nex at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=738266
as well as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745049

Even if just libcpuid is there atm, it would be helpful.

Upstream in both cases is helpful and as can be seen is also communicative.

Hopefully somebody or some team can take this up. I am open to helping
in any small way I can.

whereas the tracker says it should be 0.14.3702+dfsg-4 . Dunno whom to
send this hence sending here.

 Not sure why you'd want to go for third world countries, but let's look
 at Germany (Aldi is one of the two biggest discounters here):
 http://www.presseportal.de/pm/112096/2653870/aldi-senkt-preise-fuer-fischprodukte-oel-und-smoothies
 CD-R Rohlinge (80 Minuten, je 50er Spindel) 5,99 Euro
 DVD+R Rohlinge (je 20er Spindel)3,99 Euro
 That is 0.12 EUR per CDR and 0.20 EUR per DVD.

 DVD readers/writers are cheaper now than CD readers/writers ever were.
 I don't think it makes sense to ask for the price of one media (which is
 in Cents), but then assume that the extra cost for a new DVD reader is
 negligible.

   Thomas

Hi all,
As an interested user I come from India and at least here there isn't
a difference at all in terms of a CD or DVD media. A single of both
costs Rs. 20/- (with the plastic case and all) and going to some of
the wholesalers we can get it for Rs. 7/- or Rs. 8/-  (in a spindle or
a box) . The price might differ between the two by a Rupee or two
(it's been quite some time since I went to buy blank DVD's) but the
space equation is such that I never buy a CD.

I do remember a distinct conversation where I asked him if he ever got
orders for CD with the vendor replying that mostly he gets order CD's
from villages rather than from city/town itself. Still the ratio was
80  20 in favor of DVD's.

I know it's not at all scientific and is probably a strawman argument
but that's the way I see it here. Almost nobody I know within my
circle talks about CD and I do not just work with the elite in the
city.

 I *think* it should be also beneficial for jigdo stuff as well.

 Yes. Not sure how the downloader used by jigdo handles redirections, but it
 should work nevertheless.

 There is one thing though, for some reason it takes much more
 bandwidth when updating the index then my previous way.
 [...]
 Previously when I was using a single mirror, most of the time the diff
 between two runs was at the most 750 kB in the index update run. I can
 recall there is something call .pdiff which made it easier and smaller
 to have the index updated.

 For some reason, there no longer are pdiffs for stable, so it has to
 download the whole files on every update.

This seems to happen only via the re-director. For instance this is
from my second run with having a single server in

As can be seen while there is a saving, still a substantial amount of
bandwidth is used for an update.

Previously when I was using a single mirror, most of the time the diff
between two runs was at the most 750 kB in the index update run. I can
recall there is something call .pdiff which made it easier and smaller
to have the index updated.

Another thing which is puzzling is that stable inRelease is ignored. I
dunno if this was before  and I'm realizing it now or it's due to the
use of mirror redirector or something else. I do recall stable
inRelease doing well. Anyways, this is what I'm a bit concerned about
as well.

No release/transition to libpoppler 0.18 ?

2012-02-09 Thread shirish शिरीष
Hi all,
A few weeks/months back libpoppler 0.18 got released. The version we
have in Debian (running sid) is 0.16.7 which was released in Jun 2011.
Please see  http://poppler.freedesktop.org/releases.html .
Subsequently a wishlist bug was filed.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=67 . If one sees
the bug then one can see Mr. Martin Pitt sharing debdiffs for
libpoppler when they are doing the same for ubuntu.

Now during that time-frame I have been seeing various errors while
viewing pdf's which I did suspect were due to the library being old.
The latest victims though is the Open Advice e-book.  Please see
https://github.com/lydiapintscher/Open-Advice/issues/41

I tried to see if the maintainer Monsieur Loic Minier had asked for
transition but was unable to find anything of value.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=release.debian.org;dist=unstable

I know that in couple of months (or a little more) we would be looking
at Freeze. Is there possibility of getting a fresh release in soonish
?

Looking forward to know more.

Having a webkit-maintainer team or something like that ?

2011-07-23 Thread shirish शिरीष
Hi all,
 First of all please CC me if somebody feels like answering.

I am a mere user/average joe who uses Debian as his OS/distribution
choice on a day -to-day basis. One of the major uses I have is
accessing Internet through GUI-based web-browsers. I also do have
couple of CLI web-browsers just in case my X goes down (hasn't
happened off-late but just on the off-chance, links, elinks etc.)

Anyways, the thing is I have been playing/using quite a few of the
browsers and do find quite a few of the webkit browsers to be
promising. I have played with Google Chromium, Epiphany, Arora and
xxxterm (the newest one on the block) all of which are based on
webkit.

While the browsers are promising apart from chromium none of them are
stable :( . Arora and xxxterm in particular have old versions of the
browsers and xxxterm uses some pretty old webkit version. While I have
filed the bugs for the same.  Please see 634819 634817 634761 and
634084 for reference if interested.

While almost all of them might be doable I think it would perhaps be
way way better if there was a team which targetted webkit based
browsers as well as any other tools which used webkit which I'm
unaware of . Doing a simple search using 'aptitude search webkit'
shows quite a few libraries which in turn means there is/might be more
packages which use webkit.

The idea in essence is simple. Have a webkit-team where all the people
who build webkit-based/used packages are housed. The possibility
happens then that the webkit-based packages might be in good shape.

As I am a user I have no knowledge whether the team-based process has
been good to developers or not. http://wiki.debian.org/Teams

Looking forward to feedback and perspectives .

network-manager,ifupdown and bittorrent Was Re: network-manager as default? No!

2011-04-04 Thread shirish शिरीष
Hi all,
 I read the whole thread about network manager starting from
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/04/msg00051.html

I am an average joe/user who has been a Ubuntu user for few years
while migrating to Debian during the Squeeze freeze cycle (about 6
months back) .

The system I run on is a desktop which is connects via ethernet to a
D-Link Modem/Router to net. While reading the thread I saw that there
is something called ifupdown which is managing stuff for me. I get a
dynamic IP assigned each time I log in and the connection is an ADSL
connection which is pretty much one of the main ways to connect to
Internet in India, although with laptops wireless is happening.

Ok, so in the interest of understanding of what's or how things are
happening, I first decided to see the contents of the package ifupdown

$ dpkg -L ifupdown

and then see the manpage of ifup and other things.

Then tried to run the various things as put up in the manpage :-

$  /etc/network/run/ifstate
bash: /etc/network/run/ifstate: Permission denied

It took me quite some time and trying all different things before I came to :-

$ cat /etc/network/run/ifstate
lo=lo

and

$ /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/contrib/ifstate-check
lo: UP,CONFIGURED

neither of which tells me much about how things are configured
(something is hidden somewhere) .

Now as a user both the info. I have got doesn't tell me anything.

Its only after much playing around that I come to known ifconfig which
actually tells me what I need to know :-

~$ ifconfig
eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr some:alphanumeric:address
  inet addr:ipv4.add.re.ss  Bcast:ipv4.add.re.ss  Mask:255.255.255.0

  collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
  RX bytes:33957 (33.1 KiB)  TX bytes:33957 (33.1 KiB)

 Even though I am/was able to get this, from the past 6 months or so I
have not been able to run bittorrent on this and I do not know the
reason for this. Its a complete mystery to me. I am able to
update/upgrade the system, run .jigdo to update the weekly ISO DVD's
and do all kinds of git and svn stuff but unable to get bittorrent.

Even for the wireless thing, atleast in my country there are no longer
many open WiFi hotspots especially after the 2008 Mumbai attacks as
the terrorists used the wifi to publicize their attack on net.

Why bittorrent is not working still is a mystery to me, any help in
that regard would be appreciated.

The reason I share all of this is as a user I don't really know how my
system is configured and nor does ifupdown make it any way easy for me
to understand how its done. Atleast to me it seems cryptic in the way
its configures stuff and the way the manpages are written. They are
not written for the average joe to make head or tail of.

This is not for or against network-manager, this is just a user's
experience. As can be seen above, I'm no guru, in fact far far away
from that.

Just my 2 paise.

Gmailfs front-end, gnome-mount documentation

2007-08-16 Thread shirish
Hi all,
  First some background info. Gmailfs is basically using your
gmail account as a filesystem. I've been trying to use gmailfs on
ubuntu gutsy for the past 12 hrs. without success. Please note that
I'm cross-posting this both as the package is both in debian  as well
as ubuntu. As Sebastian Delafond is the official maintainer of the
package also ccing him.

First the package in question :-

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/utils/gmailfs in debian
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gmailfs in ubuntu

Homepage of Gmail filesystem :-
http://richard.jones.name/google-hacks/gmail-filesystem/gmail-filesystem-implementation.html

First of all the frustrations I have had with gmailfs can be seen here
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gmailfs/+question/11592/

Of course the answer may be some option or something which I've not
tried to do  hopefully will be known/sorted out in short period of
time, but the larger picture is I'm not happy with the current
scenario as it takes the user to know quite a bit of knowledge of how
mount works  stuff.

I lack the skill to implement whatever I'm going to outline but if
somebody has the drive or the motivation to apply it please do so. I
ran this idea by the upstream author  while he thinks its a good idea
but would rather if somebody else made that gtk+ dialog boxes.

Now the actual thing, right now if one installs gmailfs one needs to
do a man mount.gmailfs, read the instructions, see if he is able to
make sense  know where /etc/fstab is put the stuff there as it is 
hope it works or do the same in the CLI  hope that works.

Now for a second please assume I know nothing about mount points and
what they are. I just know that there are some apps. which I can
install from synaptic  they work out of box. Gmailfs doesn't .

What could make it better?

Perhaps you (somebody from the community) could make a gtk front-end
dialog box so after installing gmailfs invokes mount.gmailfs which in
turn invokes the gtk front-end and says it needs superuser or root
privileges, then the dialog-box gives example of what a mount point is
etc and a place to fill in, username  password  whatever else is
required. It would make gmailfs more usable. Have no idea either way
if and any security implications are as of now and after having the
dialog box.

Another tool which people use to do mount is gnome-mount atleast on
the GNOME/GTK side, the description for gnome-mount is
Description :- wrapper for (un)mounting and ejecting storage devices

Looking for comments, suggestions  possibly somebody coming forward 
doing an actual implementation of it. If this has been discussed
before or if this is not the proper mailing list (as the package is
something which is the universe repository) please feel free to guide
me the same.

Re: Thoughts about the bug tracking stats

2007-07-21 Thread shirish

Hi all,
  I am a ubuntu user. It has been an quite an interesting
discussion about reportbug as well as reportbug-ng. I too use
reportbug (more than reportbug-ng) when I need to report some bug
which might be upstream as I believe there are quite few packages
which ubuntu syncs from debian. Now reportbug is cool in the point
that I do get the dependency package info. with version  a single
line description of the dependancy package . Something akin to what
dpkg -l  package-name does but automated. Now I also have issues
with it needing some kind of mail client, if it used some way to
transport the messages without going through the mail client/server it
would be so much easier.  At this point, I use webmail  have to make
a point to remember that the subject line should have the packagename
otherwise it doesn't go to the right place.
 [OT]   I am somewhat surprised that nobody thought it worthy or
useful to mention apport. This is the ubuntu bug-reporting tool. A
wiki telling all about it.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomatedProblemReports as well as
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/gnome/apport-gtk . Ok now what apport
does which reportbug or report-bug ng doesn't is it sends the
bug-report without resorting to mail client/server so that much less
of a steep curve. The issue/hassle  here though lies in creating a
launchpad account although its similar process as signing up for
webmail or having an account to any site. Also launchpad is not just a
BTS but also handles translations, repository functions etc.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaunchPad as well as
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu [/OT]
The reason for bringing the apport/launchpad reporting
infrastructure is not to have a replica but if you guys could find a
middle way. Atleast for some of  the users it would be one less hassle
if it could be used to work with the browser itself. I dunno how you
guys feel but for me its always better to look at other tools also 
if possible if some of the feature-set can be replicated/used for your
bug-reporting tool/package.
 [OT] Lastly, I do know that you guys have stats regarding
package installations as to how many people installed a package but
obviously it doesn't give the whole idea. For e.g. I have evolution
installed (by default) but haven't felt the need to configure it or
use it. So at some point in future could you guys think of not just
using the installation as a benchmark for popularity of a tool but
have some kind of usage pattern associated to benchmark real-life
circumstances. Do understand there are privacy issues here (apart from
basic ones) which I might not be aware of hence maybe something to
have a look at. [/OT]
   Sorry for the longish mail.

Cheers!

 Sure, but it makes it possible to make it _right_ in a good portion of
 situations. The people who really need binary units can make clear what
 they are doing there. Otherwise they would deliberately create
 confusion. You like to be among them? You like chaos and cheating?

 No, I like to avoid chaos and confusion. I do not currently have problems
 telling the size of a file, and adding an extra column of is to the
 output of most programs isn't going to accomplish more than cause
 confusion for me when I use a program that doesn't waste the extra space
 to tell me, Oh, by the way, I'm doing the sensical thing.

 Really? You need additional knowledge to interpret the program output
 and you call this less confusing? I doubt that.

Yes. I don't like computers that are designed for people who don't know
anything. I find such beasts confusing and obnoxious.


Resp. Sir,
It is precisely for people who don't know anything that comps. do sell,
components sell  you have cheap prices. Again who decides who knows
anything or nothing at all? I'm sure it'll be pretty thin list if we
go by that.
Also is there something in the debian manifesto which says that people
is only for people who do computer science only?

 But they ARE broken. Have been for years. If you make a simple analogy
 from that statement to other dings then you need to declare much more
 people as stupid Don Quixotes, like those who work on LFS (you know,
 2GiB is ought to be enough for everyone), or on IPv6, or on Unicode,
 etc.etc.

I seem to be failing to folow your logic again... Anyways, you know we've
all switched to IPv6 already, right? We no longer need 6bone because all
our ISPs give us IPv6 addresss already. See http://www.6bone.net/ if you
don't believe me. Grr.


I don't know whether that last sentence was mentioned in seriousness
or in jest.
We in India, are on ipv4 still  the transition is going to take
another couple of years till one of the big ISP's does the change. I
know this for a fact as there were press releases made by BSNL (Indian
ISP)  to that effect.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_broadband_users

But does it mean that we are against IPv6, no all we all want is it
should be pretty easy so that ipv4 can work  its documented how it is
to be done. If similarly, there was an alternative solution for the
same in the KB/KiB thing it would make easier for me as a user to
decide.



 How about using these prefixes to unambiguously refer to powers of 10?
 kd kidi10^3

 Like in kidigram and medameter? What comes next, midroutopicans?

 Yes, my intention was to make a silly set of prefixes whose only purpose

 Doesn't look so for me. It looks more like a bad attempt to miscredit
 brave people.

Yes, all those brave people who risked their lives to, uhh, very bravely
do, uhh, something, umm, what people am I trying to miscredit? I think
maybe I need to figure this out before I can figure out what brave things
they were doing. Oh, or was I trying to miscredit all brave people?

I'm sorry, but I don't think I was trying to miscredit anyone. I simply
don't want people fixing a part of my system that works exactly how I want
it, just because it is confusing to non computer people.


There you go again, who are non-computer people. I would surely be
interested to known your definition of non-computer people  how
they should be discriminated against, atleast that is what appears to
me.

  Urgh, these things are ugly and an abomination.  We should avoid them.

 I'd really like to hear some real arguments against SI prefixes, besides
 being ugly or funny to pronounce or just because it has always been
 like that. Advantages of using SI prefixes has been mentioned in this
 thread. Please tell me the disadvantages so there can actually be a
 constructive discussion.

User Confusion.

Most users do not know what a tebibyte is, and they do not care.  They
know that a terabyte is about a million million bytes, and that is
sufficient.

Since you're rounding anyway, the loss of accuracy between about a
million million bytes and just over a million million bytes is not
significant.  Certainly not at the expense at having to teach users
another new unit.

Hard drives are bought in gigabytes, memory is bought in gigabytes, etc.
Quoting the same figures with a different unit in the operating system
is pedantry for its own sake.

Users have already learnt that the term gigabyte is approximate.


Wrong most users think of gigabyte as absolute rather than
approximation. If that was not the case then
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix#Legal_disputes wouldn't
have happened. Most of the users when they burn a CD/DVD use the
approximation GB to say a burn a movie DVD. Most of the DVD media is
marketted as 4.78 GB while its 4.38 GiB  hence when they download a
movie (legally downloaded or otherwise) or do mixed mode stuff. Also I
don't know many users who go down to byte-size level  see how much
space is remaining. I do get support calls over this quite a bit.
Thinking that users know its an approximate IMHO is an
oversimplification.


Introducing new units has only added confusion, rather than removed it.


The same could be said of relatively newer concepts like free
software, open source, copyright, creative licenses, .PNG, .SVG  all
the newer stuff that the web keeps pouring in. Micro formats anyone.
That doesn't mean we stop learning, it just means we adjust ourselves
to the new reality.


Before the new units, we all knew that 1GB was an approximate figure and
likely to be (for bytes) based on a power of 2.  Now we have figures
quoted in GB and GiB, some of which are power of 10, some of which are
power of 2.  Some figures quoted in GiB are wrong, and should be in GB;
likewise some in GB should be GiB.  And we still have many figures in
both GB and GiB which are neither of the two!

Renaming the 1.44MB floppy helps in neither case; it is neither 1.44MB
or 1.44MiB.  One could name it the 1.4MB or 1.47MiB floppy and confuse
everyone into thinking it's a different thing, of course.  Or maybe it
should be the 1,440KB floppy, or the 1,475KiB floppy?  Neither of these
help the situation.


 Right, although it doesn't completely solve the situation it does
take things to a nearer perfect answer. I do see that it would take
time for us to make that change but its a better change IMO.

 Without the binary unit to consider, when we quote a drive as 1TB, we

know that it has *at least* 1,000,000,000,000 bytes available.
Depending on the drive, it may have anywhere between this and
1,099,511,627,776 bytes available.  It's actually more likely to have
something strange like 1,024,000,000,000 available.

(And none of this takes into account partitioning and filesystem
overhead!)

I see no problem with this 1TB quote being approximate.  It's rounded
anyway.  If you really want to know how many bytes are available, you
can use this great unit called the byte which is accurate and not
subject to change[0].


   Do you think most common users are ever going to go down to byte size
level to see if things fit or not. It would actually be a good test
for Novell . I believe they do  desktop tests for HIG  see how users
actually do stuff. Not techies but
day-to-day the Johns  Janes.

Re: Using standardized SI prefixes

2007-06-12 Thread shirish

Hi all,
  Somebody asked about real world experiences. Ever tried fitting
mixed multiple data to a CD or DVD  have to see in byte-size if
things are good or not. Ever downloaded an .iso only to find later it
doesn't fit the CD/DVD by some MiB . How much overburning can be done
by a CD/DVD burning application . I do lot of burning of content  it
really pisses me off. If software guys pick up the trend then only
there is hope. Otherwise do the reverse make it so that 1000 bytes is
a KB  not 1024 something has to be changed.

[OT] howto file bugs in debian bug-tracker

2007-06-12 Thread shirish

Hi all,
 Can somebody tell me how I can file upstream debian bugs from
bug tracker. Case in point
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/deluge-torrent/+bug/119995 .
I know this is not the place, so let's take this off-list perhaps or
point to a better resource/mailing list where I can direct that.
Cheers !

Using standardized SI prefixes

2007-06-11 Thread shirish

Hi all,
 Please look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_prefix . I
put a bug up for it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/119822 
Aaron helpfully said it needs more discussion. I have had great
support from libtorrent code.rasterbar.com as well as the guys at
deluge http://dev.deluge-torrent.org .
   The difference is simply astonishing to put aside if let's say a
download or an .ISO says 700 MB (700*1000) it becomes 683.59375 MiB
(70/1024) . Please lemme know what you guys think about it ?
   It isn't just ubuntu or debian but this needs to be done
everywhere. Have something accurate.
