Re: ubuntu keyring?
We have emdebian and DebianEdu keyrings in Debian, there is no reason someone couldn't upload the Ubuntu keyring to Debian. Seems no-one has cared about doing that yet though. This could be a good task for the Ubuntu portion of the DEX group, you might want to bring it up on the debian-derivatives list: http://dex.alioth.debian.org/ubuntu/ http://lists.debian.org/debian-derivatives/ Once we have multi-arch implemented in Debian then creating mixed i386/amd64 chroots will be much easier. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Just one thing, though, that I don't really like, which you might want to
reconsider for the next release:
rm -rf ${PIDDIR}
Couldn't this be avoided by doing some rm -f ${PIDDIR}* ; rmdir ${PIDDIR}
(probably you can't do an rm -f without *, which would have been even
nicer). rm
-rf just feels so unsafe...
Your suggested change looks unsafer to me. It will do evil things when
$PIDDIR is empty while the original version does nothing in that case.
I wonder if Michael meant rm -f ${PIDDIR}/* with the slash :) (IMHO the quotes
would also be a good idea)
