Global environment variable.
Hi to all! Where are stored the global variables? I must always add it to /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc. There is a global location? Thank you.

Re: Global environment variable.
And if it's nevertheless a packaging question (i.e. how to add a global variable as part of the installation of a package), the policy states that no executable can depend on the definition of a global variable, hence your package should not define any global variable (but you should document that a global variable can be defined).

Re: RFS: ocropus (2nd try)
2008/9/22 Andreas Juch [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm not a mentor, but I tested your package because I wanted to use ocropus on my system. I think your dependencies are missing the lua interpreter - at least the verision I installed from m.d.n. No - the ocroscript command implements a Lua interpreter with many extensions for array processing, image processing, image I/O, document analysis, classification, layout analysis, and geometric matching.

Anyway, why the need for an admin? Create a chroot on your own system. whereas one of the goals of letting the user installing packages in his home directory is to not bother the admins. Also, as giving schroot access means giving opportunity to get root priviledges, Absolute TOSH. The whole point of schroot is that, once the chroot is created, users do not need root access. If the admin is half-sensible, the admin creates the chroot in /jails/foo/ and users use schroot. There is no way that a user can escape a chroot and retain root access. There is no way that root access within a chroot can affect the rest of the system - that is the point of a jail. it is something that definitely sounds scary even in trusted environments. It is asolutely not scary - that is why it is supported on Debian machines. -- Neil Williams = http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ pgpg4Fg7aQNcX.pgp Description: PGP signature

In that case, use fakechroot, it may be enough for you. Alternatively use qemu or user-mode-linux to create an entire emulated machine over which the user has complete control. On recent hardware this can be fast enough for regular use. You have already mentioned zero-install. It works outside the packaging system and provides a solution for some users as well.

In the end it looks similar to the Amazon elastic computer cloud. Such a concept would definitely be very flexible for users and admins, and I would definitely be eager to try it if somebody builds a user-friendly free software equivalent. I just noticed the zeroinstall-injector package in Debian. I will give it a try, and if it looks functionnal, I will suggest to use Debian instead of CentOS to our admins next time we buy a shared workstation.
