Hello there,
A couple of things I've noticed about this bug...
(1) is is really a kernel bug?
- if so we should clone and reallocate to kernel but also work arround
for timebeing...
the patch attached to this bug) in an if
kernel version is 2.6 clause?
Just some thoughts...
Regards
Alex Owen
goes into sarge is in the
hands of the package maintainer... as it should be!
I still hope this small fix can make it to sarge [ please ;-) ]
but I'll accept the maintainers decision!
Sorry if my action has precipitated any bad feeling... that was not my
intention.

amcheck -a sends an email on every run (as per spec)
amcheck -m does not send email even when error (eg wrong tapes)
To my mind this points to a problem inside the amcheck code where
amcheck does not notice the error and so never sends an error email...
Perhaps I should look at the code!

My understanding is that these ideas are now incorperated into amanda
proper... (v2.5+)
so I guess this bug could be closed.

Saw your request for pdns-server testing... I took a copy of the package

Attached is a patch to os-prober to:
(1) make it ignore active swap
[Changes in: os-prober/os-prober]
(2) if blockdev is available then use it to set partitions read-only
before mounting to work arround a feature of ext3
.
Also worth noteing that there was an earlier ITP for libemf (debian
bug #168940).

Createrepo generates the metadata necessary for an RPM package
repository. This repository metadata format is supported by yum,
up2date, smart, red-carpet(xen) and YaST.
Inclusion of this in debian would allow a debian machine to act as an
RPM repository.

I wish debian included an empty directory at /usr/share/empty
owned by root:root with a mode 0555
I don't like comparing Debian to other distro's but it is true to say some
other ditros have a /usr/share/empty .
Thanks

and comment out the option in cron-apt-0.4.7/conf/config leaving it as an
example.
I know this is not important... buut thought I'd mention it anyway... If I can
work out how to use report but a patch is attached...
if I can't I'll end the patch to the BTS later!
