ppp and pppoe packages for Debian 2.1 (slink) users
Howdy, folks! I realized today that there's a need for PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) packages for Debian 2.1 (slink) i386, as I couldn't find any online. I built up-to-date pppoe (and ppp, which it needs a newer version of) packages in a slink chroot, and I've uploaded them to: http://people.debian.org/~che/ This basically means folks who are stuck with slink for whatever reason, but who need to get PPPoE working to upgrade to potato, can do it now.

APT 0.3.7 Released!
The Debian APT team would like to announce the release of the latest version of APT, the next-generation packaging tool for Debian GNU/Linux, version 0.3.7! This release fixes many bugs, and now APT supports downloading of the source to any Debian package! By running the command 'apt-get source packagename' APT will automatically fetch the original source .tar.gz and Debian .diff.gz patch and extract them into a directory. Now it's easy to build your own .deb packages from source without hunting through the FTP archives. Make sure to update your /etc/apt/source.list with a line like: deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free so APT knows how to download source. Here is a list of bugs fixed in APT 0.3.7: * Fixed missing text in the apt-get(8) page. Closes: #37596 * Made --simulate and friends work with apt-get source. Closes: #37597, #37656 * Fixed inclusion of man pages in the -doc/-dev package. Closes: #37633, #38651 * Fixed handling of the -q option with not-entirely integer arguments Closes: #37499 * Man page typo Closes: #37762 * Fixed parsing of the Source: line. Closes: #37679 * Dpkg/dpkg-hurd source bug. Closes: #38004, #38032 * Added a check for an empty cache directory. Closes: #37963 * Return a failure code if -d is given and packages fail to download. Closes: #38127 * Arranged for an ftp proxy specifing an http server to work. See the important note in the sources.list man page. * Accounted for resumed files in the cps calculation. Closes: #36787 * Deal with duplicate same version different packages. Closes: #30237 * Added --no-download. Closes: #38095 * Order of apt-cdrom dist detection. Closes: #38139 * Fix apt-cdrom chop handling and missing lines. Closes: #37276 * IPv6 http support * Suggests dpkg-dev for apt-get source. Closes: #38158 * Fixed typo in apt-get help. Closes: #38712 * Improved the error message in the case of broken held package. Closes: #38777 * Fixed handling of MD5 failures * Documented list notation Closes: #39008 * Change the 'b' to 'B'. Closes: #39007 -- Brought to you by the letters N and G and the number 1. What's different, Pete, about the 69 that makes it so exciting to you?

APT 0.1.9 (yes, 0.1.9!) is released!
It's that time again! The APT team would like to announce the latest release of the next-generation Debian package manager frontend, APT 0.1.9! The binary i386 package and source have been uploaded to the master Debian archive and should be installed into it soon. We've skipped 0.1.8 because a 0.1.8 will be built shortly linked only to libraries that ship with Debian 2.0, hamm. 0.1.9 depends on several libraries that only come in the upcoming Debian 2.1, slink. Among the fixes 0.1.9 brings you: * -rpath nastiness from libtool is now patched from within configure.in * http.us.debian.org is the default Debian mirror in /etc/apt/sources.list * fixes for APT for the Alpha, now Alpha Debian Linux can run APT!

APT 0.1.7 released!
The APT team is proud to announce release 0.1.7 of the next-generation packaging tool, APT, which enables users to easily upgrade their whole system of Debian GNU/Linux packages to the latest versions on the world-wide network of Debian HTTP and FTP mirrors. This release covers a few issues with linking with the newest versions of the stdc++ library (2.9) and fixes a glitch in file URI handling with mismatched sizes. To experience all the other improvements for yourself, why not install APT on your Debian system and make sure your system is in synch with the latest and greatest security updates today?

ip-up script in PPP package with 'persist' option
A friend of mine who I recently converted to Debian is encountering a conceptual problem with the PPP package. He has a dynamic IP, but wants to keep his connection up as much as possible. So, since the Debian ppp options file includes the persist option by default, we thought we were okay. And it does work -- ppp redials if the connection is lost. But he also would like to know his new IP when the computer redials, so I wrote him a quick Perl script to upload his IP in a little HTML document to his ISP, so he could find his IP from any 'puter with a web browser. The problem is, we don't know where to call this script from :) I tried putting it in the /etc/ppp/ip-up script, which ostensibly is called whenever ppp brings its connection up, but evidently is not called with the persist option.

Re: Running defrag in single user mode...
Single-user mode is also known as runlevel 1. To go to any runlevel, as root run 'telinit [level]' -- so 'telinit 1' would bring you to single-user mode, 'telinit 0' would shut down the system, 'telinit 6' would reboot.. and 'telinit 2' (or 3 or 4) would bring you back to multi-user mode. You could also reboot, and at the LILO prompt give the argument 'single' or 'emergency' after your label (I do 'linux single' to boot into Linux single-user). -- Brought to you by the letters Y and U and the number 11.
