Bug#337663: initramfs-tools: droping in rescue shell has no loadkeys and do not default to right keymap.

Package: initramfs-tools

Well, as said, it is rather painful when one is dropped in the rescue shell,
to have it default to us keymap, even though you have another kind of keyboard
layout (azerty for me). At least it should include the loadkeys binary as well
as the keymaps if it fails to autodetect the right thing.

Friendly,

Sven Luther

 

Little-known fact: the 'kbd-chooser' binary acts as loadkeys within d-i. 
So we should make sure its loaded

and there is a symlink to it from /bin/loadkeys.

I do not currently have access to any Type5 keyboards either, so I 
cannot verify this.

Can someone with a Type 5 please confirm?

Also, this package is being replaced later in Debian/etch by kbd, which 
has this key as
'Delete'. If the issue is confirmed, the bug will be reassigned when kbd 
is used to provide this keymap,

otherwise it will be closed.

Bug#333533: [Fwd: Some translation, i18n related requests for console-tools]

2005-10-12 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Package: console-tools
Severity: normal


---BeginMessage---
Hello,

I am the Turkish team leader for the Translation Project, which does 
console-tools translations. 

I would like to report the following strings in console-tools which are 
untranslatable: 

Best regards,
Deniz


Reason: plural is added brute force. Plural for Turkish for example is 'ler' 
or 'lar' which this would not support. Some languages have different plural 
forms for 2 vs. more than 2 etc. The correct way of gettextizing plural forms 
is explained in gettext manual section 10.2.5

Reason: plural is added brute force. Plural for Turkish for example is 'ler' 
or 'lar' which this would not support. Some languages have different plural 
forms for 2 vs. more than 2 etc. The correct way of gettextizing plural forms 
is explained in gettext manual section 10.2.5 
#: loadkeys.y:943

msgid Loaded %d compose definition%s.\n
msgstr Yüklenmiş %d oluşum tanımı%s.\n

Reason: This is not a complete sentence. The way Turkish does clauses is 
completely different for example and depending on what comes before this 
(which makes up the full sentence), the Turkish translation would be 
completely different.  The best method of insuring translatable programs is 
to use a full sentence for each msgid, not part of a sentence. 
#: kbdtools/dumpkeys.c:244
#, c-format
#, fuzzy
msgid of which %d dynamically allocated\n
msgstr bunların %d adedi dinamik olarak ayrılmıştır\n


Reason: these two msgids together make up a sentence. It is impossible to 
translate these correctly into Turkish since the clause order needs to be 
reversed. Combining these into a single msgid would make it translatable. 
#: kbdtools/dumpkeys.c:528
msgid interpret character action codes to be from the

declined correctly.

Bug#333538: console-tools: How to make CapsLock work automatically

2005-10-12 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Package: console-tools
Severity: minor
---BeginMessage---
Greetings. Lately I've been messing around with the console a lot. At times 
I've tried and failed to make pressing Caps Lock result in a command being 
executed without anything being written to the screen. ReadLine wrote the 
screen and would only work on readline-apps. So I decided to dig deeper. There 
doesn't seem to be a way to make a keymap with:
1) a custom command, though Console_1, Console_2, etc. result in the same as 
'chvt'.
2) a way to have multiple actions on one keypress.
I decided to grab the source and try and modify it myself. I have no C 
experience, but decided to try anyway. I found the code that defines a bunch of 
arrays (associative arrays?) with the keysyms, but couldn't find the code where 
what they did was defined.
I'd like a simple explanation of how I could perhaps make a new keysym that 
executed a command through the shell, or something like that, without anything 
being written to the screen. Please reply at your convenience.
Happy Easter,

Bug#332957: fixed in gtk+2.0-directfb 2.0.9.2-4

2005-10-13 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Hmm,

Yes, that makes more sense :-)

I'll change the depends line tonight. I think I'll leave the libc-udeb
for the moment, as it is possible people will come up with libcs' othe
than libc in the future (dietlibc, klibc, etc.) that will do what we
need.

 Alastair,
 
 That is very usefull for letting other udebs depend on this package, but 
 not actually what I meant :-)
 
 The udeb currently has:
 Depends: libc-udeb, libdirectfb-0.9-22-udeb
 
 What I meant was this could now be changed to:
 Depends: libc-udeb, libdirectfb-0.9-22
 
 I feel this is more in line with other udebs, but I'll leave it to you to 
 decide if you want to change this or just close the bug again (or leave 
 it open as a reminder for a later date).
 
 (The depends for libc-udeb could also be changed to plain libc6 (for 
 i386 at least), but it is probably easier to do that when you can switch 
 to using ${shlibs:Depends} in the control file.)
 
 
 Cheers,

  Given how Unicode compliance is a release goal for Etch, having libfribidi0 in Recommends is not sufficient; it

No.  "Unicode support" refers to applications functioning in a UTF-8 locale
as correctly as they do in a single-byte locale.

  


  And it indeed doesn't function correctly here.  Not putting libfribidi0
as Depends breaks newt operation on UTF-8 locales, which in turns also
affects debconf.  Without it, debconf does NOT work correctly under a
UTF-8 locale using the 'dialog' front-end.
  

Then you should have said that (and in a separate bug report, no less)
instead of claiming that dependencies were missing.  If UTF-8 isn't working
right without lifribidi0, then something's buggy in the UTF-8 support,
because libfribidi0 should *not* be required for this.

  
  
You really ought to check the whole thread for this bug before mailing.
This bug already was about the missing dependency, which the maintainer
"solved" by adding a Recommends, instead of a Depends. 

  

The bug was fixed by fixing a segfault in libslang2 that occured when
libfribidi was not
present. That fixed, it is now possible for newt to have a Recommends:
rather
than a Depends:, hence that was changed simultaneously: it was not the
'fix'.

newt works in UTF-8 for non-BIDI languages. I am reluctant to add a
dependency on
libfribidi and inflate base for non-BIDI users: it makes using Debian
as an embedded
system much harder. A better solution I think would be to make sure
libfribidi 
is installed when BIDI languages are chosen on the installer, or when X
/ graphical
console is installed.

Alastair

 None at the moment; we've a small test cluster that had driver issues up

 I'd be interested in testing the package out on a small test cluster

 also is there any interest in testing these patches for 2.6.16/17 with

 give it a bit to sort out some issues with the packaging.  The current
 head-of-tree
 in the repo is definitely a Work in progress, concentrating on merging
 current work
 by Goswin von Brederlow and myself (and others); I plan to get an
 experimental release

Bug#387043: gdm: Mojibake if in UTF-8 mode when running XKeepsCrashing script

2006-09-11 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Package: gdm
Version: 2.6.0.8-1
Severity: normal


If you have a UTF-8 locale, eg. en_GB.UTF-8, and a bad
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file, then the dialog shown by XKeepsCrashing is
garbled. This is because XKeepsCrashing needs to set the console mode to
match the locale, so the correct line-drawing characters are shown.

Below is a patch that does this.

Bug#333533: Bug: fix postponed until post-etch

2006-09-12 Thread Alastair McKinstry
tags 333533 etch-ignore
thanks

Sorry for not fixing this bug earlier - due to reasons beyond my control
I was unable to
devote time to Debian earlier this year. Unfortunately console-tools is
effectively
frozen (due to debian-installer dependencies), which means that invasive
changes
such as changing the strings quoted are not possible at this time. Hence
the bug
has to be left until after Etch is released.

Bug#379938: glibc bug

2006-09-18 Thread Alastair McKinstry
This bug now faults on latest glibc's with free() debugging enabled.

Basically, something is going wrong in dlerror()'s memory handling. If
the library libfribidi.so
is missing, mondoarchive calls newt sufficiently frequently , or
something, to trigger a problem
in glibc. I as yet cannot reproduce this bug in a different scenario.

I am going to try and place a workaround to this bug in newt, which may
need to be disabled
to  repeat this fault.

Bug#275077: Hard bug : needs kernel change?

2006-09-18 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Hi,

This bugfix is definitely postponed to post-etch.
AFAIK, there is no way that slang can query the current screen state, in
particular the current cursor type.
This is because (most?) terminal hardware cannot be queried. Hence the
best we can do is to try and
keep a copy/estimate of the cursor state outside of userspace
applications, ie. in the kernel,
which can be set by cursor change methods in slang and elsewhere. Then,
slang can query this to reset
the cursor on leaving an application.

Help requested to implement this, or recommend a better solution.

Regards
Alastair

 Hello Alastair,

 AFAICT Eugeniy's analysis shows that this issue is unrelated to his patch 
 for #384787, but rather a separate slang issue.

 What is your take on it and how can we best proceed to resolve it?

 If at all possible, I'd like to see it resolved before the RC1 release, 
 but that is going to be very tight. If not, we could delay it until the 
 next release candidate.

 Eugeniy: are you by any chance still working on this?

 Thanks,

I've been looking at this bug last night and today (a bit more awake).
The problem is with a patch 080_wide_chars that broke jed (see #369152)

The error is in SLutf8_skip_chars() and I hope to work on it tonight if
I get
a chance. Patches and well-tested NMUs welcome.

 The problems I reported are mostly work-around for transcient problem in

 It would still be good to do an upload so that bug reports go to the new

Agreed. I will do an upload tonight with Maintainer: piuparts team

Bug#390909: console-tools: unicode_start fails on tty 6

2006-10-04 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Hi,

Thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately console-tools is currently
frozen for the
Etch release, so this bug will be fixed immediately post-etch, probably
in kbd,
as we are transitioning from console-tools - kbd after Etch is released.

I am currently working on scripts for unicode_start / stop to be
triggered and run
on udev events as consoles are created (either at boot, or createvt,
etc.) that will
remove the checks for fgconsole, etc. and hopefully speed boot times,
but this
is post-etch work.

Regards
Alastair

 Package: console-tools
 Version: 1:0.2.3dbs-65
 Severity: minor



 Hi,
 on my system I have 10 consoles active, but unicode_start fails (or
 better: doesn't have any effect) when invoked from a tty higher than 6.
 tty1 to tty6 are in use, tty7 is left for X, tty9 to tty12 are in used.
 tty8 is left unused because sometimes I redirect logs on that console.

 The problem is in the way the upper bound of the iteration to set
 unicode mode is computed:

 NUM=`fgconsole --next-available`

 When invoked from e.g. tty10 and tty8 is not in use `fgconsole
 --next-available` returns 8 and of course tty10 is not affected by
 unicode_start.

 Fix may be as simple as this:

 --- unicode_start.orig2006-10-03 18:09:11.492146500 +0200
 +++ unicode_start 2006-10-03 18:09:22.740849500 +0200
 @@ -46,8 +46,7 @@
   DEVICE_PREFIX=/dev/tty
  fi
  
 -NUM=`fgconsole --next-available`
 -NUM=`expr ${NUM} - 1 `
 +NUM=`fgconsole`
  # This needs a better fix, but because unicode_{start,stop} are called
  # before getty starts the other consoles, if only one console set, then
  # set for the first 6 VTs, since  these are normally started by inittab

 but I think that it will break console-screen.sh. Maybe the right fix
 is to add another script that touches only the _current_ tty?

Bug#388464: debian-installer: ~2.6.17-2 amd64 kernel appears to be missing lvm-mod

Package: debian-installer

Installing a Dell 1950 Server (x86_64), LVM support is broken as there

Hi Frans,

I saw your comment in #38787. I was reluctant to apply it in case it

Bug#370811: #370811: occurs only when show_read_statistics is 'no'

2006-09-22 Thread Alastair McKinstry
I can confirm that this bug appears elsewhere, and is still present in
Debian/Etch
(2.2.2-1).

Also, it only occurs if show_read_statistics is set to 'no', which is
the default in Debian;
if set to 'yes', everything is fine.

'yes' is the default in the code, so perhaps a good workaround is just
to set it 'yes'.

Alastair McKinstry

 LVM works fine for me using current daily AMD64 image using kernel udebs 
 based on -9.

 Please be more specific as to what is failing.
 Is it just that you do not see the LVM option in the main partman menu? If 
 so, that is because an interface change. Please see the installation 
 guide on alioth.
   
Sorry about the delay in replying; the servers are at work, so I had to
wait until today.

This was the d-i netinst amd64 image for 20060920, on Dell PowerEdge
1950 hardware;
there are two SATA disks configured with softraid (RAID1) across the two
disks, and then
LVM on these, so the path was:
  - netinst boot.
  - from partitioner, select Configure RAID , then Finish, so that
RAID configuration is
spotted. Then
 - Configure LVM to detect the LVM configuration. This fails with LVM
could not
   be configured; you may need lvm-mod. 

In a seperate console, lsmod shows no lsm modules. The syslog does show:
  dm_mod: Unknown symbol idr_replace

Now, this morning I repeated this with the same CD and with the
weekly image amd64 binary-1.iso : the bug is no longer present on the
20060918
weekly image.

Todays daily netinst image for amd64 failed to spot the CD, and so I
could not test this
far; I am investigating this further before submitting a bug report.

Bug#389875: mixed vga+serial blanking problems

dean gaudet wrote:
 Package: console-tools
 Version: 1:0.2.3dbs-65

 the various /etc/console-tools/config settings aren't applied to the vga 
 device if i boot my system with console=ttyS0,115200 command-line option.

 now i know... you're thinking you said the console is serial, not vga... 
 but then, that begs the question, in which place should i configure 
 blanking on a mostly serial-console system which still has a monitor 
 attached to it?  since most of console-tools is for dealing with vga 
 consoles it seems an appropriate place to support such a hybrid setup.

 -dean

   
Hmm,

You can disable the fgconsole check in /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh for
this
for the moment.

Immediately post-etch I am moving this to an event-based system, calling
the script not on bootup but on console startup, so that when VGA
consoles are
started the blanking scripts will be triggered. This is too invasive to
happen at this
stage of the release, unfortunately.

Bug#382115: console-tools.sh spawns many unnecessary processes

2006-08-09 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Thank you for this patch. I will include it in the next release (within
the week, I hope).


I shall be keeping the '.. done' for the moment, as I believe it is
useful when running
init scripts in parallel, and do not wish to experiment with this at
this stage of
release preparations, but the overall startup is a good improvement.

In general, it's _most_ unwise for any program to touch video modes,
until the user has logged in and taken control.  Otherwise, there is too

Agreed.  But AFAIK the initscript package does not have any code that change
video modes, or program console fonts, or do anything else of the sort...
   




Then maybe it's some program that initscripts calls.
console-screen.sh looks like a possibility.  I'll disable it and reboot, and 
let you
know what happens.

Aha!  Removing the symlink in /etc/rcS.d to
/etc/init.d/console-screen does indeed make the bug go away.  If that caused
any side effects, I didn't detect them.
That file belongs to the console-tools package.  I'm copying this
message to that package's maintainer.  Mr. McKinstry, the original report is
in the bugs data base; you might want to change the package line and take
over the report; I don't think I have access to do that.
 


This is confusing; console-tools has not changed in many weeks.
While console-screen can change the video mode, it does not by default, 
for the

reasons described: no safe defaults on all the old hardware out there.

Can you please send a copy of:
/etc/console-tools/*
dpkg -l |  grep splash
dpkg -l | grep console
kernel version?

Bug#310809: slapd fails on upgrade 2.1.30 - 2.2.25

2005-05-26 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Package: slapd
Version: 2.1.30-3
Severity: serious


slapd fails on attempts to upgrade from 2.1.30 to 2.2.25. Looking at the
ldif file in backup, 'slapadd' chokes on attribute entries of the form:

userCertificate;binary:: 

The 2.1.30 database was created cleanly using slapadd with ';binary:'
entries in it; this is a regression from 2.1.30.

running 'slapadd -d 16383 $ldiffile' gives the following output ...

Boring stuff
 dnNormalize: cn=admin,dc=ildana,dc=net
str2entry: invalid value for attributeType userCertificate;binary #0
(syntax 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.8)
slapadd: could not parse entry (line=367)
slapadd shutdown: initiated
 bdb_cache_release_all
slapadd shutdown: freeing system resources.


whereas on 2.1.30, we see no such problem.

Bug#310809: 310809: confirmed not an RC bug

2005-05-27 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Hi,

I tried a woody-sarge install, and the offending ldif file does not
work on 2.0.23, so this is not an RC issue. It is a regression for 
sid - sarge and testing - sarge only. 

Yes, I meant 2.2.23-5 not 2.2.25 in the report.

Attached are trimmed down example ldif and slapd.conf files
demonstrating the problem.

Alastair

2005-02-14 Thread Alastair McKinstry
tags 288458 sarge-ignore
thanks

The plan is to do the following:

slang1-dev is deprecated, as there is no longer any need to use a
'non-UTF8' version. Hence all the other packages should/will be rebuilt
with slang1-utf8-dev in the future (including libnewt).

However, slang is frozen for the Debian Sarge release. This changeover
is planned for immediately post-sarge.

Alastair

amanda-server depends on mailx to provide /usr/bin/Mail, which is

Unfortunately, mailutils also Provides: the mailx package, but only
provides /usr/bin/mail, not /usr/bin/Mail. Hence amflush, etc.

Thanks for your work on this.

I've backported a fix that was present in the ltp-20050207 release,
though I will be conservative and not try a new upstream release at this
time (I'll wait until 20050107 hits sarge (with luck and your blessing)
before trying another release. I may try the March release in
experimental first if necessary).

tested fix on ia64, uploaded the IA64 merulo build as 20050107-3, it
seemed to be a little delayed in the IA64 build  queue last time.

 Since the version of ltp in testing is still broken due to bug #293023, I
 have marked it for removal pending resolution of this bug.

Good call.


 Thanks,

 cute and everything that you have a file with a unicode name, but when
 it breaks things on certain systems, it isn't so cute anymore ;).
 

Which file system is this on? 
XFS and NTFS filesystems may be configured so that they use preset
character sets (e.g. ISO-8859-1). This breaks the Unix filesystem
semantics which state that the only significant bytes in a filename are
'\0' and '/'; all else are just bytes, to be interpreted by the user.

use the charset options on XFS and NTFS filesystems with care, and only
on /home, etc. directories where you know that no system software will
be installed, and you as sysadmin can configure all software accessing
that directory to act accordingly, and only then when you need to share
that directory OS's other than Linux. 

If this is that bug, please tell me and I can close this report. Else,
please send me a copy of /etc/fstab and I will fix it ASAP.

 Package: iso-codes
 Version: 0.44-1
 Severity: critical
 Justification: breaks unrelated software
 

Thanks for your bug report; a fix is now committed to CVS.

The use of iso_639.tab is deprecated; the recommended data file is
iso_639.xml, the XML version. Unfortunately as the tab file was expected
to be removed, it was not kept up-to-date with the XML file corrections.
I have added a script to automatically generate the tab version from
XML.

Unfortunately the timing of this bug could barely be worse; Uploading a
fixed version of this package would break the Debian-Installer build (or
skew package versions), which depends on the iso_3166_udeb from this
package. Hence my preference is to classify the bug as 'important'
rather than release-critical, unless it actually breaks other software,
rather than just can in principle. Do you have software it breaks, and
if so, can you upgrade that software to use the XML version instead?

Alastair McKinstry

  Description : A generic Plone form generator

 This product provides a generic Plone form generator using fields,
 widgets and validators from Archetypes. It makes it possible to build
 simple contact, information-gathering or data-entry forms through
 Plone's interface.
 .
 To use it, create a form folder, then add form fields as contents.
 Individual fields can display and validate themselves for testing 
purposes.
 The form folder creates a form from all the contained field content 
objects.
 .
 Final disposition of form input is handled via plug in action products.
 Action adapters included with this release include a mailer and a
 save-data adapter that saves input in tab-separated format for
 later download. When you first add a form folder, it's configured as
 simple response form with input mailed to the owner.

  Description : Extensions to Archetypes in Zope

 This package provides some extensions to archetypes.
 .
 So far, there are only a few custom fields, widgets and
 validators, the Record(s)Field/Widget being the mosti
 generic components. Theses fields exploit the record
 and records packager directive of Zope's ZPublisher
 to effectively manage a dictionary (record) or
 list of dictionaries (records).
 The dictionary's keys and the data type of their values
 can be configured in the AT schema declaration.
 .
 To demonstrate their usage, there is a demo content type
 WorkingGroup. To enable it after install, go to portal types
 and make it implicitly addable or include it in some folderish
 type's allowed_content_types.
 .
 Future plans are to make this product obsolete by moving the
 Record(s)Field/Widget to Archetypes proper and the specific fields
 to More Fields and Widgets.

 Subject: iso-codes: please split date_withdrawn data into subelements
 Package: iso-codes
 Version: 1.0a-1
 Severity: wishlist

 Please split the data_withdrawn info into multiple subelements. It would
 be very valuable when using the data to load a database and using XSLT
 to transform the file into SQL insert statements. With some of the
 fields (like data_withdrawn) having internal structure, it somewhat
 defeats the purpose of using a structured language like XML. I am
 proposing something like the following fragment:

   
Hi. Interesting.
Can you post an example of how you would expect this to be used ?
I had been expecting it to be used in, eg.
  code that iterated over a database
  - spotted a code in the DB that had been withdrawn
  - compared it to the date of withdrawal, and then did some action.
 e.g. in SQL.
 in this case, having a single date (in ISO-8601 format) would be easier
to parse. Not having used XSLT much, I hadn't designed the schema to
cope. Can you give an example?

Alastair

 That's wrong too, since it'd still load a default font.

 I had to uninstall this defective package because it insisted
 on loading a font at boot. That really screwed me up, as I was
 using a kernel-supplied framebuffer font that wasn't available.
 

 You have four options:

 1. use the font face VGA16 of console-setup which is similar to the
kernel font.

 2. Use a line FONT=/usr/share/consolefonts/somefont in
/etc/default/console-setup in order to load a non-console-setup
font.

 3. Remove/deactivate /etc/rcS.d/S49console-setup and leave only
S06keyboard-setup

 4. Remove console-setup entirely

   
 An 8-pixel-wide font is no good for me. I'm sure other people
 have nice 9x16 VGA ROM fonts they'd like to keep. (can you even
 handle a 9-pixel-wide VGA font correctly?)
 

 If you use a framebuffer, you don't have a 9x16 font.  If framebuffer
 is not used, then 9x16 fonts are handled correctly.

   
 In any case, DO NOT LOAD A FONT BY DEFAULT
 

   


 While it would be useful to have a configuration option to tell
 console-setup not to load a font (and maybe I will implement this in
 some future version), I doubt that most people need such a feature.

   
 The most serious problem is in unicode_start, which should just issue
 the command to put the console in UTF-8 mode without touching the
 console font.
 

   
The problem is putting the console in UTF-8 mode means at least ensuring
that the
console font MAP is a UTF-8 one. The only reliable method of knowing
this (on all archs)
is to set it yourself, hence unicode_start setting the font.
(Suggestions as to a better method accepted).
 I agree here with you at 100%.  Both kbd and console-tools have a
 version of unicode_start and any change in this utility has to be
 coordinated between the two packages.

 Anton Zinoviev


   
This should be temporary. console-tools is deprecated: upstream
development is dead.
I will remove it from Debian later this year (after mid-June, when I
have time) once I've
checked it for patches and other functionality that should be added to
kbd (or something else) for
lenny.

 The problem is putting the console in UTF-8 mode means at least
 ensuring that the console font MAP is a UTF-8 one.
 

 Are there still console fonts with no UTF-8 map in Debian?  If there
 are any, this should be fixed.

 In my opinion we should be assuming that the font has UTF-8 map and
 unicode_start should not load a font.

   
I think all the console fonts as shipped have UTF-8 maps;
if the users changes that, then on their own head be it.

I'm not sure about the default fonts on various archs, though: can we
presume they are all ASCII and not ISO-88859-1?

 I will remove it from Debian later this year (after mid-June, when I
 have time) once I've checked it for patches and other functionality
 that should be added to kbd (or something else) for lenny.
 

 Soon I will make an upload of kbd with some functionality of
 console-tools added (mostly the things configurable by
 /etc/console-tools/config except DO_VCSTIME).  What else is missing?

   
I need to do a check of changes made to console-tools since the kbd fork.

 Is there any reason version 2.0.7, which was released over a year ago, is
 not yet pacakged for Debian?  Version 0.3.8 of the slcfitsion package FTBFS
 because it needs version 2.0.7 of libslang2.

 Followup-For: Bug #319069

 Hi, 

 I don't use the sun any more. But I remember that upgradeing to the 2.6
 kernels fixed the issue. As far as I know the 2.6 kernels abstract all
 keyboard mappings to the pc keycodes.
 Since it seems like this will not be fixed for 2.4 kernels you could as
 well close the bug.

Thanks, will close.

Bug#429351: Patch for Newt

2007-07-13 Thread Alastair McKinstry

Hi,

Thanks for the patch; I will test it out, and possibly include it in  
newt.


I'm wary about changing the API for newt, even for additions: I'd  
prefer to get it
adopted upstream first. However upstream has not included the Bidi  
patches

so far, I'd like to see why.

Do you have some good testcases for Hebrew (and screenshots for the  
non-Hebrew speaking)
so that I can test Bidi changes? I'm rewriting the Bidi patches for  
new upstream newt version.




Regards,
Alastair

Bug#319902: #319902: old code in kbd-chooser

2005-07-25 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Hi,

Yes, there is significant common code in kbd and kbd-chooser.
The plan is the following:

(1) console-tools, data, get replaced by kbd in etch.
(2) kbd-chooser is also a deb in etch, usable outside d-i
(Petter Reinholdsen is working on this).
(3) kbd-chooser  kbd make console-common redundant (its original
purpose was to choose a keyboard map from a number of package sources,
and use either kbd or console-tools to run it at boot-time. kbd-chooser
would select the kbd map and place it in
the /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz, and then kbd would run it. Remove
console-common

finally,
create a  library in kbd for common code used by kbd-chooser, used in
both the kbd-chooser deb, udeb and kbd. (This was part of the plan for
console-tools, a good plan but never brought to fruition as console-*
was abandoned upstream.  This time, I intend to do it without forking
kbd; Andries Brouwer (kbd upstream) agrees in principle.

This work is planned for August, as I am busy until then.

Regards
Alastair

Bug#320078: whiptail is unable to handle special characters not present in current locale

2005-07-27 Thread Alastair McKinstry
tags 320078 wontfix
thanks

I'm tagging this 'wontfix' as its unfixable.

The problem is that 'characters not in the current locale' are garbage
bytes as far as _any_ software is concerned: if you enter some
'non-locale character' whiptail gets a bunch of uninterpretable bytes.
it can't even reliably figure out what was the last 'real' character
before these. whiptail is not unique in this: it is true of all
software. Its just that whiptail is in the front of the pipeline to
receive and display them.

The solution is to ensure such garbage characters don't get entered into
whiptail, etc. (or other X programs). Use a non C locale, in particular
use UTF-8, and make sure all programs produce UTF-8.

Regards
Alastair

 Package: whiptail
 Version: 0.51.6-28
 Severity: wishlist
 
 If I feed my whiptail with characters which aren't present in the
 current locale whiptail is unable to handle these characters. You can't
 delete the feeded input whithin the input box.
 
 This occurs for instance with the locale LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C and
 characters like '???'.
 
 This problem is somewhat relevant for debconf (with which I discovered
 this bug) as debconf accepted a special character and saved it. In a
 second run of debconf I wasn't able to fix the bad input of the run
 before. Between both debconf runs I didn't touch the locale (locales
 haven't been installed at that stage).
 
 For easier understanding of the problem I attached a simple small shell
 script which calls whiptail with potentially evil options...

 There are two cases: displaying data that it reads from some other location
 and data entered from the keyboard.  whiptail should of course distinguish
 between the two.  If it cannot at least let you delete the keyboard entry,
 that's a defect in whiptail.

Ok. Agreed. re-opening the bug.

Bug#324469: xine-ui: FTBFS: Please rebuild against libaa1-dev and slang2

2005-08-22 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Package: xine-ui
Version: 0.99.3-1
Severity: severe

Please rebuild xine-ui against libaa1-dev and slang1.
xine-ui currently depends on aalib1-dev to build, and then aalib1 and
slang1. These have recently changed to libaa1-dev; the current xine-ui
will fail to build until this is changed.

Making this change will also remove an unnecessary dependency on slang1;
this is replaced by slang2, which provides UTF-8 support. slang2 is now
a private dependency of libaa1 and hence this simplifies xine-ui's
dependency chain.

Regards,
Alastair

Bug#328152: iso-codes_0.47.orig.tar.gz fails the build of Gnome 2.12 on FC4

2005-09-17 Thread Alastair McKinstry

tags 328152 moreinfo
thanks

Hi,

I've investigated this bug and can't reproduce it.
The build appears to have failed on python2.4-xml (or its equivalent in 
FC4);

it does not fail on either python2.3 or python2.4 in Debian.

Can you please ensure that your python installation is correct? the
program ./iso2pot.py is breaking on a perfectly correct call. It appears
that python-xml is incorrectly set up on your build environment.

Regards
Alastair

 Yes, I agree. But not sure where to reassign this to console-tools or to

Assign in to kbd. There is a similar bug in console-tools but it will
