Re: Problems with debug packages on ubuntu 9.10 karmic
Quoting Thomas Mittelstaedt tmsta...@t-mittelstaedt.de: I have problems producing bug reports containing backtraces with all debug symbols. Even though I do have the dbg packages installed, gdb 7 doesn't pick them up automatically, neither for an installed app like rhythmbox nor for a custom build of gnome evolution. The non-stripped libraries get installed under /usr/lib/debug and I tried to use add-symbol-file, to load the symbols. And this procedure would only be partly successful, i.e. in the backtrace, some function calls of a library would show nicely while others would be just the usual '???'. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606881 and https://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=trace.htmltrace_id=220468. It looks like mostly libraries are left. You can try installing the following debug packages. libc6-dbg gstreamer0.10-plugins-base-dbg gstreamer0.10-plugins-good-dbg libgstreamer0.10-0-dbg libglib2.0-0-dbg libpulse0-dbg libpulse-browse0-dbg libpulse-mainloop-glib0-dbg And this is why it's easer to send bugs to launchpad. They can use apport-retracer to get the debugging symbols themselves. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Do you mean that the actual code which has been released under the GPL contravenes the interests of the copyright holders? Perhaps the copyright to some technology re DVD structures is stopping it from being distributed? Similar to what libdvdcss2 provides to play encrypted dvds and for the same reason isn't in the repos but need to be installed using an awkward script? Or, do you mean that there is an issue how the GPL'd code is being distributed, or who owns it? How come other applications can implement the technology to burn dvds without legal issues, like k3b or brasero, but cdrtools can't? It means that Schilling is a disagreeable person and does not approve of the ways cdrecord has been modified. He eventually changed the licensing to prevent certain modifications, so there was a fork. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Sorry, I should really read the entire thread. cdrecord requires a CDDL licensed build system, which is incompatible with the GPL licensed code. With the license incompatibilities it cannot be redistributed at all, not even in non-free. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss

Re: Compiling subversion 1.5.0
Those look like fairly benign warnings that could be ignored. I'm not too familiar with debuild, but you could try running it with the -W option. That might set it to ignore warnings.

Re: Compiling subversion 1.5.0
Sorry, missed the problem with all of the extra long lines :) It looks like the problem is it is missing the file org_tigris_subversion_javahl_ConflictDescriptor_Action.h, probably because something went wrong building javahl. I'm compiling it now to see if I can figure out why... On Fri, June 27, 2008 2:15 pm, Benno Korn wrote: I tried with the -W option. But the same error occured again.
