[Bug 912625] Re: #!/usr/bin/env python breaks Python-based Ubuntu packages in the presence of virtualenvs, local installations

2012-01-06 Thread David Warde-Farley
Marc: Fair enough. I guess the same kind of hijacking I mentioned could
be accomplished in a lot of ways, including setting PYTHONPATH, so it's
probably alright.

Scott: The Debian policy reads:

 Maintainers should not override the Debian Python interpreter using
/usr/bin/env

The word should is somewhat ambiguous in its level of severity, but I
would read that as a strongly discouraged even if not a hard and fast
you must not do this. I would say there ought to be a really good
reason if a system-installed executable is figuring out which
interpreter to use at runtime.

 You shouldn't put a non-system python in your system's python path.

I assume you mean on your shell's PATH as the PYTHONPATH is something
different -- at any rate, this is an unworkable demand for just about
anyone who does anything resembling serious Python development. In
addition to virtualenv being a ubiquitous tool for deployment management
and environment isolation, several specialized Python distributions
exist (both commercial and FLOSS) such as Enthought Python Distribution,
ActivePython, FEMhub, Sage, etc. and isolate themselves from the system
Python (as they should).

Placing the bin directory of one of these distributions, or of a
virtualenv, on your shell's PATH (i.e. adding it to your PATH in
~/.bash_profile) should not cause random system-installed executable
scripts to start breaking, and I would very much consider it a bug in
the package that installed the executable if this does happen.

Furthermore, most of the Python scripts in /usr/bin on my machine follow
the hard code which interpreter you want convention, and as Barry
pointed out above, even the native Python packaging system, broken as it
is in many ways, performs this kind of munging. I would consider this a
strong case for not using #!/usr/bin/env python.

[Bug 118343] Sent messages not saved to remote folder if remote folder doesn't belong to same account

2007-06-02 Thread David Warde-Farley
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Basically, I have one account that I check mail from, and several set up
to send mail from, as I have a few different email addresses that all
get forwarded to that one IMAP account but that I use for different
things (my work address, my school address, etc.) with different
signatures, and such.

On all accounts I tell it to save Sent and Drafts to the corresponding
folders on my IMAP server (the receive account). They are
subdirectories of that account's INBOX folder, because my provider
doesn't allow anything else.

If I send with the receive account selected as my identity, the sent
message gets saved as it should.

When I send from either of the send only accounts, the mail does not
get saved, even though I have the appropriate folder selected. It
doesn't get saved in the local Sent folder either, so it's completely
lost it seems, which is definitely not good.

The correct behaviour would be for it to save to an IMAP/other remote
folder you specify, regardless of which account it belongs to.

[Bug 109418] After Feisty upgrade: some drives show up twice in nautilus, once unmounted and once mounted

2007-04-23 Thread David Warde-Farley
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Essentially, two of my PATA partitions that mount okay have phantom
entries in the nautilus sidebar, that I recognize by their sizes as
being /media/RAID and either /home or /media/storage.

If it makes any difference my /media/RAID partition is on a RAID1
virtual disk exposed by a  3ware Escalade 7006 PCI RAID controller.

Could it have something to do with some drives being mounted using 
/dev/mapper/sd* 
instead of just /dev/sd*? I notice that / is mounted as /dev/sdb2 rather than 
/dev/mapper/sdb2.


Output of mount:

/dev/sdb2 on / type jfs (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)

Oh, I also created a fresh user account to test whether it was a problem
with my assorted gnome preferences. Same thing appears.
