This should not be suppressed, I've on my TODO supporting
bootstrapping dpkg on new architectures, though.

This didn't apply anymore, but I've fixed some instances of this
problem in the code. Fixed in git and will be included in next
release.

And this is not needed anymore, stddef.h is now included from dpkg.h.

If you or anyone else happen to port it to other Unix system, feel
free to provide patches.

This can be replaced now by «autoreconf -f -i».

It tries to get the answer but there's no terminal attached. If you
really want to run something like that from cron (which might be
dangerous) make sure to use one of the --force-conf* options, check
«dpkg --force-help» for more info. Thus closing this report.

The generic names are not predefined, so I don't think that listing
them in the man page is a possibility.

I guess the requested --list-all would accomplish that, so merging the

Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.10.18
Severity: normal

I was building mplayer on my ultrasparc from a debian repo I use on x86.  I
used there sourcepkgs, not sparc aware.  I found mysellf using 'sparc32
dpkg-buildpackage' alot and I wondered why dpkg-buildpackage didn't know
when to use 64 or 32.  ppl say to use 32bit for sparc, unless there is need
for 64.  If there was need for 64 or even a working 64bit build.  Then I would
expect special care needed to be taken to facilitate this.

Also I don't know how libs are to be built on a dual bit system.  I would
hope that dpkg would build both sets of libs if needed.

I posted the results at "http://www.technofoundry.com/~cheako/"; and touched
sparc32 in the output dirs where I needed to use it.  The full build dirs
can also be found there.

This is actually a packaging issue and dpkg will just use the default
mode of your toolchain. If one wants to build biarch or multiarch
packages the packaging has to take care of that. Thus closing this
report.

I was about to add 'not yet implemented' in the --help output to sync
it with the manpage, but thinking how this could be implemented I've
to say I agree we better just remove the option. The whole script
depends on the files it has changed/removed/symlinked during the whole
execution.

So I'll just do that.

guillem

Confirmed:
$ grep testmode scripts/update-alternatives.pl 
my $testmode = 0;
$testmode= 1;

So it looks like this never got implemented... this was already the case
in dpkg 1.1.4 in 1996 (this is as far as I can go in the history).

Thus I suggest to simply remove that option altogether from the script and the
manual page.

Bug#461327: important priority too high for dselect

2008-01-17 Thread Joey Hess
Package: dselect
Version: 1.14.7
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i

dselect's priority was recently dropped from required to important
(#452652), but important is still a much-inflated priority (so is
standard -- optional would be ok). dselect is not the kind of core unix
tool that policy defines as candidates for important.

It made sense for dselect to be required priority when it was widely
used to install and upgrade systems (in the early ninties). It made no
sense to drop it from required to important now that it does not.

I don't expect removal of dselect from important to be contoversial,
although someone is sure to pipe up and say "but I use dselect!" :-)


Boring statistical justification follows just in case:

Rough reading of the nunbers from dselect's popcon graph suggests that
fewer than 1 in 10 systems with dselect installed actually regularly use
it. Aptitude is used by roughly twice as many systems, as is synaptic,
and apt is regularly used by 6/7ths of all systems. Moreover, while the
number of popcon submissions has tripled since the release of etch,
and the number users of the other package managers has similarly spiked,
the number of systems using dselect has remained flat. 

http://people.debian.org/~igloo/popcon-graphs/index.php?packages=dselect+aptitude+apt+synaptic+kpackage&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=2007-04-01&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1

So most people who use dselect already had it installed before etch was
released, and the majority of new installs are unnecessarily installing
dselect. While we couldn't fix that for etch, due to the dpkg depenency,
we can fix it for lenny, and the best time to fix it would be now.

Hi,

When I submitted the request I was working on system initscripts and
script for alsa and there were a number of occasions when this feature
would have been useful and I solved the problem in another way.
Unfortunately I can't remember the specifics now.  The situation when
the feature is useful is when you have a pid but no pidfile and you
want to kill a process politely in just the way that s-s-d does with
"--retry".

I should add that applying this patch will break dpkg-shlibdeps which

added to dpkg).
