I did the change to 1.1-2 yesterday evening. I soon got a few notices that 
multiple spellcheckers work in OOo just fine. What do you think? Of course 
it's not maybe that wise to use more than one spellchecker for a language,

hi,

in short, the author (Ralf Treinen [EMAIL PROTECTED])

Right. But soikko/voikko are sufficiently similar (and soikko is unmaintained 
upstream afaik
and non-free) so that it doesn't really make sense to install both soikko and

The correct solution would be for the upstream software to

I understand. And yes, soikko is non-free, non-maintained (except for 
packaging/installer) and will be obsolete in the near future because of 
voikko. Currently there might be some objections to removal of soikko 
because many people probably have it installed (though it's non-free so 
you have to search for it), but really voikko is quite good at 
replacing it already.

Hi,

This is definitely what I will do, but EMBOSS releases a stable version
every 3-4 month, and a major version every 1-2 years, so I do not think
that it is compatible with having EMBOSS in Debian soon.

Other distributions, such as RHEL, FreeBSD, Gentoo, and Fink all manage
to distribute EMBOSS, so I wonder if the problem my inexperience rather
than EMBOSS itself...

For the packaging of EMBOSS, I started with the preliminary work of
somebody else, which was made at a time where EMBOSS was not using pcre.
It happens that when used on the latest version, it includes the headers
from pcre in the a emboss-lib package which also contains libraries
specific to EMBOSS. If I understand correctly, this symptom can be
cured easily (removing the pcre headers from the package), but this
leaves the possibility that the EMBOSS binaries will have a wrong
behaviour because they would use a different libpcre than the one they
have been compiled with. But maybe the binaries are statically linked...
How can I figure out?

Have a nice day,

I had a similar issue with building pngcrush and libpng.

If you build using the upstream's copy of libpcre which is included
with the code, then the security team will raise the following
question: Who is responsible for fixing the security issues that
arise in the libpcre library as they apply to your package?

This is forever a problem with forked code. If there is a security
bug in one version the security team will be forced to examine its
implications in all other forks. 

For this reason the Debian version of pngcrush is built using the
Debian libpng. This is something that is deprecated by the upstream
author but he has been kind enough to facilitate it anyhow.

The Debian version of optipng is done differently. It includes a
separate library of png functions which are only for its own use.
Hence it does not depend on Debian's libpng at all.

Hope this experience will help you to solve your problem.

Regards,

Kapil.

RFS: logwatch (temporary sponsor)

2006-09-27 Thread Willi Mann
Hi!

I'm searching for a temporary sponsor for logwatch 7.3.1-2. It's
available from

http://pkg-logwatch.alioth.debian.org/apt/pool/main/l/logwatch/

I want to get 7.3.1 into etch, because the current 7.3-2 doesn't
properly support postfix 2.3 any more and reports some other lines
concerning logs from shadow as unmatched. 7.3.1-1 wasn't uploaded to the
official archive, because my usual sponsor Michael Vogt is currently
loaded with other work. So please build with
-sa -v7.3-2

The diff also contains some fixes and improvements including a script to
summarise the dpkg log. (They have of course been submitted upstream
already.)

My changes since the last uploaded revision are on svn.debian.org.
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-logwatch/trunk/

Just compare revision 47 with revision 53.

If that's done then you're job's simple, repackage with the new version

probably a bit confused by now... and if upstream takes a while to

If, however, upstream decides to not release a new tarball you repackage

As I am preparing the upload a package which fixes a versioning mistake

The package is very simple (one binary), and provides a functional test
which was passed successfuly.

But I did not find a detailed explanation in the policy or the

From policy:

The package must have been available in unstable for several days; the
precise number depends on the upload's urgency field. It is 10 days for
low urgency, 5 days for medium urgency and 2 days for high urgency.
Those delays may be doubled during a freeze;

So If I understand correctly, although one could maybe consider that

gnome-app-install (super-easy package manager) prototype

2006-09-27 Thread Jason Spiro
Hi all,

My question is in the last paragraph of this email.

Progress note:

I am working on a port of gnome-app-install to Debian. This utility,
made by the folks at Canonical Inc. and Ubuntu, is like Synaptic, but
ten times easier to use.

It currently does the job but does not always quit after an install
operation is finished. Known issues include internationalization,
missing icons, the OK button and it currently fails if you try to
install anything in non-free. (If you try it, it'd be great if you could
let me know, either here or by email, whether the icons in the
Popularity column look like little stars or little X-squares. You can
install it using the following sources.list lines:)

deb http://www.jspiro.com/files/debian experimental/
deb-src http://www.jspiro.com/files/debian experimental/

I am frustrated at the various bugs I'm seeing but I don't want to give
up, as I want gnome-app-install to be in Debian. If you would like to
finish packaging the app and take over maintainership, I'd be very glad
to stop here and explain to you the changes I've made already.

Now for my question:

I am working from an upstream .tar.gz file from Ubuntu. The upstream
tarball includes .pyc files too, not just .py files.  My .diff.gz does
not touch the .pyc files when applied to the upstream source. Will this
be a problem when people try to apply the .diff?

Thanks for being here to listen.
Jason Spiro
