Bug#427141: Your ITA of adonthell
Hi, Barry deFreese [EMAIL PROTECTED] (30/05/2008): Hello. I have a working updated package of adonthell and adonthell-data so I am wondering if you are still going to adopt them? If not, I will adopt them for the Games Team and you are, of course, welcome to join us. I never ITAed adonthell, I only fixed the missing owner.

Hi, Michael Koch [EMAIL PROTECTED] (25/04/2008): That helps a lot. I was able to reproduce the bug and commited a fix to our SVN. I want to do some other fixes and then upload new version of tomcat5.5. Shouldn't the severity of this bug be grave? A tomcat server that doesn't start is just a unusable server.

Bug#480092: submitter address changed (fixing wnpp bugs)
Hi, Vincent Danjean [EMAIL PROTECTED] (24/05/2008): According to discussion, Timothy is not interested to maintain in the the long term this package (linbox). If you look carefully, you will see it posts a RFP and not an ITP. I would not have been surprised if Timothy would like to take care of this package a few weeks (I tell him that it would be difficult for me to manage this package before a few weeks) but I do not understand why you make this change. Do you speak with Timothy ? Please, tell me why you do this. See http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index, especially: RFP If you are going to package this, retitle the bug report to replace RFP with ITP, in order for other people to know the program is already being packaged, and set yourself as the owner of the bug.

Bug#477363: tomcat5.5 5.5.26-1 can not start
Michael Koch [EMAIL PROTECTED] (24/04/2008): Before applying any patch I would like to be able to reproduce the issue. What did you actually did in which order and which java packages are installed? Did you installed tomcat5.5 from scratch or did you updated it? It was an update, but I just tried on another computer with a clean install, I have the same problem. Can you check the content of MANIFEST.MF in /usr/share/tomcat5.5/bin/bootstrap.jar, especially: Class-Path: jmx.jar commons-daemon.jar commons-logging-api-1.1.1.jar t omcat-juli.jar I don't have any commons-logging-api-1.1.1.jar in /usr/share/tomcat5.5/bin/, but a commons-logging-api.jar which is a symlink to /usr/share/java/commons-logging-api.jar. I guess one of the reason you can't reproduce the bug might be because you have a /usr/share/tomcat5.5/bin/commons-logging-api-1.1.1.jar which does not belong to any package. Note that MANIFEST.MF of tomcat 5.5.25 does contain the right Class-Path. Hope that helps. Cheers, -- Thomas Huriaux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi,
If a manpage is a symlink to another manpage, it is converted to a
regular file while being recoded to utf-8.
For example, lilo.real.8.gz used to be a symlink pointing to lilo.8.gz,
but now it is a real copy of lilo.8.gz
The attached patch should fix the problem.

Bug#403803: pine: Please switch to gettext-based debconf templates
severity 403803 important thanks Hi, Santiago Vila [EMAIL PROTECTED] (20/12/2006): On Wed, 20 Dec 2006, Thomas Huriaux wrote: I support pine only partially, so I have added debconf stuff to allow for unattented installs, but that's all. Do you allow me or any other people caring about i18n to do the job for you, either by NMUing the package or by providing full patches? Or should we just stay away from that package? You should stay away, really. In addition to being non-free, there are two additional reasons why I think this should not be done, as it would be a complete waste of time: a) It is likely that pine will eventually be replaced by alpine (once alpine is mature enough). b) There should be a mta-base package on which packages like this may depend, so that we do not duplicate the same debconf questions about /etc/mailname and /etc/news/server over and over again in every package managing those files. The i18n support in all debconf-using packages being a release goal for Lenny (http://release.debian.org/lenny-goals.txt), I'm raising the severity to important. In the case of pine, there are 3 different ways to fix the package, depending on what comes first: * Lenny is released: the switch must be done long enough before to give time to translators to translate the package. * A mta-base package is created: pine-tracker/note must be switched to po-debconf (or moved to a News.Debian file, as it is really close to a debconf abuse). The two other templates will then be removed. * alpine replaces pine: this bug will be closed together with other pine's bugs.

Bug#439508: lintian: Various updates for the debconf writing style checks
Package: lintian
Version: 1.23.34
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
Attached is a patch to improve the debconf writing style checks:
+ if ($template-{choices} =~ /^\s*(yes\s*,\s*no|no\s*,\s*yes)\s*$/i) {
+ tag select-with-boolean-choices, $template-{template};
+ }
New check to avoid select templates with only a yes/no choice.
- if ($short $short !~ m/:$/) {
+ if ($short ($short !~ m/:$/ || $short =~
m/^(what|who|when|where|which|how)/i)) {
tag malformed-prompt-in-templates, $template-{template};
}
Some maintainers, when seeing the malformed-prompt-in-templates, just
replace the question mark by a colon. This fix should catch most of
them.
- if (defined ($extended) $extended =~ /\?/) {
- tag using-question-in-extended-description-in-templates,
$template-{template};
- }
+ }
+ if (defined ($extended) $extended =~ /\?/) {
+ tag using-question-in-extended-description-in-templates,

Bug#418350: fixed in pppconfig 2.3.16
Hi, John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (09/05/2007): Could you please explain why you removed the manpage instead of using a replace field as suggested... I don't see that pppconfig replaces manpages-fr. See policy 7.5.1. In any case, If a French man page for pppconfig is in manpages-fr why should I bloat pppconfig with another?. It's bloated enough with translations as it is. The French pppconfig manpage is only present in the sarge manpages-fr package. ...and why you uploaded in unstable instead of etch-proposed-updates? Because I was not aware that I was expected to do otherwise. Why would it not be wanted in Unstable? Because this bug is not present neither in unstable nor in testing.

Should we create both encodings, and put the UTF-8 ones in /usr/share/man/fr.UTF-8 and the ISO8859-1 ones in /usr/share/man/fr.ISO8859-1? After all, ISO8859-1 is considered as a legacy encoding nowadays. No, see /src/encoding.c in the man-db source package and #196762.

Bug#402657: tagging bugs that are closed by packages in NEW as pending
Hi, Anibal Monsalve Salazar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (01/03/2007): # the following bugs are closed by packages in NEW tags 402655 pending Seeing this bug marked as pending and having seen nothing neither on debian-i18n nor on debian-l10n-french, I checked out the cvs version of dtc just to see how you handled this bug and #402657. * the first sentence of the extended description of the first template in dtc.templates is: Enter the hostname or ip do you want to use to connect to your MySQL server. this sentence does not mean anything, I stopped reading further. * the first string translated in the debian/po/fr.po is msgid MySQL hostname: msgstr Nom de l'hôte MySQL : there is a missing unbreakable space. OK, this string is marked as fuzzy, so I jumped to the first really translated string: msgid DTC database name: msgstr Nom de la base de donnée DTC : there is also a missing unbreakable space, as well as a missing s to donnée. I stopped reading further. So, before uploading any new package, please follow the following steps: * ask for review on debian-l10n-english of all your templates. * once your templates are written in correct english, ask for translations on debian-i18n (you can use for example the podebconf-report-po tool). * if you do yourself some translations (especially the French one), do coordinate with Debian localization teams. They usually use well-defined consistency rules. The easiest way is even to ask the team to do the translation for you. * once you have waited a long-enough time for updated translations, you can then upload a new package. Releasing templates in such a bad state is very problematic, as some other translation teams will start to work on templates of a very poor quality. That means they will just lose their time, but that's what happens when doing uncoordinated uploads. Cheers, -- Thomas Huriaux signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Thomas Goirand [EMAIL PROTECTED] (04/03/2007): Thanks for the follow-up. To what list should I ask exactly, and how can I make sure to have my spelling checked? For English, debian-l10n-english@lists.debian.org (you should send your template files as an attachment). For French, debian-l10n-french@lists.debian.org (attaching the po file). There are similar lists for other languages, the easiest way is to send a call for translations on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm a poor writer, and my software itself would also need to be checked, as it's fully translatable. Any help for the *strings.php files of the APP itself would be as well very appreciated. You should probably rework your internationalisation infrastructure using appropriate tools (gettext, po4a, ...). Having all translations within a single file is really not convenient for translators, and will soon become a nightmare for you if you have to manage string updates.

The error type is now perfectly supported by debconf,
podebconf-display-po should reflect that.
There is also a plugin for cdebconf, cdebconf-entropy, which allows one
to use the entropy-text type, which is invalid for debconf, and
therefore not supported by podebconf-display-po.
The attached patch should fix these two issues.

tag 408356 pending thanks Hi, Nicolas STRANSKY [EMAIL PROTECTED] (25/01/2007): In the find.1 manpage, %c and %C options are translated with exactly the same phrase as %t and %T, whereas it should include a description about the fact that %c and %C reflect the file's _status_ modification time, and not only the file modification time.

So the translation could be this: %c Date de dernière modification du statut du fichier, dans le format renvoyé %par la fonction C « ctime ». %CkDate de dernière modification du statut du fichier, dans le format spécifié %par k, comme pour la directive %A. And for -ctime: -ctime n Date de dernière modification du statut du fichier il y a n*24 heures.

While you answer, please, do not assume that every package maintainer should act the way most of them do, just state what's your customary way to work as a translator (if it helps you, give me a list of actions, like: I copy the templates.pot file to LANG.po, translate it, then a issue a debian/rules whatever while pouring my cup of tee, ..., and so on, and so forth). Here is what I do: - fetch the source package with apt-get source package - run debconf-updatepo to be sure to work on an up-to-date templates.pot - copy templates.pot into fr.po - translate fr.po - run debconf-updatepo to be sure that I haven't modified accidentaly a msgid - send the fr.po for proofreading on debian-l10n-french (this process is around one week) - apply the patches received - once this process is finished, I check if there has been new versions of the package during the proofread process, if so, I download the new source package and run debconf-updatepo to see if the file is still up-to-date. I usually even do it without checking if there has been new versions. - send the file to the BTS So, as I run 3 times debconf-updatepo in a normal translation process, I'd like to not have to understand the build system of every package I translate :-) course, it is not as problematic as I thought before.

Nobody knows better than the maintainer (with the help of bug submitters) if the package is right. I agree, but this is the first false-positive I've found.

You're no longer extracting strings from the source file but from a

The main problem with this bug is that it forces translators to

The other minor problem is that it gives false-positives in our i18n

(see http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po-debconf/errors-by-pkg)
If there is a problem, it is rather that the file is not updated in any
of the regular targets (clean, build, or binary). I think the clean
target is the right thing?
Yes, the clean target is the right one, as it is the only one that
allows you to have an up-to-date source package in a standard build

The problem was that I included information using debconf that didn't need to be there. All of the qmail-src debconf entries did not fit the policy, and have been removed. I am the package maintainer, and I am allowed to make decisions on what information is included and displayed when the package is installed. I have decided that my previous use of debconf has been deprecated, and therefore, I have no further use for debconf. In fact, I have removed all dependency on debconf from qmail-src.

Bug#351394: All debconf stuff can probably be cleaned from the qmail package
reopen 351394 tag 351394 patch thanks Hi, Jon Marler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (01/11/2006): Go and get the latest qmail-src package. That patch won't even apply to it. Check qmail-src version -40.

Bug#194712: oops: no useful description of the format option
Hi, Bernd Eckenfels [EMAIL PROTECTED] (27/05/2003): On Tue, May 27, 2003 at 10:19:04AM +0200, Michael Zehrer wrote: I will provide more Information on this with the next upload, explaining the difference between fist creation/formatting of the sample storage and optional formatting with upgrades/reconfigure. the question is, if you need it at all: a) in fresh install - format data files b) on upgrade: if format is compatible do not format it - only if the format is not compatible you may ask this. If you ask this question always what should i do on a future update, if the format is incompatible this may be quite confusing. On the other hand, it is better, cause then the decision can be remembered. I strongly agree, the description of the oops/format is currently meaningless: * it should only be displayed if there are existing storage files. * I don't know about compatibility, but if the statement of Bernd is correct, it should only be displayed if formats are not compatible. * the extended description should then be rephrased to tell the user that existing storage files have been found on the system and that reformatting them will erase previous data. It should be introduced by explaining what are these storage files used for (i.e. what kind of data the user may not want to loose). Furthermore, in your postinst script, you echo: storage file generated. Your debconf description should be consistent with this echo: * storages files (short description) is a typo. * storage files (long description): is there one or more storage file? For example, I would rephrase as following: _Description: Format oops storage file? Oops uses the file /var/spool/oops/storages/oops_storage to store the data used as... . Such a file already exists on your system and need to be reformatted in order for oops to work correctly. Reformatting this file will erase all the previous data stored in it.

Bug#402331: FTBFS: unable to find user alias
Jon Marler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (21/12/2006): Quoting Thomas Huriaux [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Note also that once this is fixed, you should update the description of the qmail-src package. I am not exactly sure what pbuilder is doing here, but I don't get the same behavior when executing debian/rules binary to build -*just*- the qmail-src package. If you are trying to build the qmail package as well, you will have to have the users. Period. I am not trying to build the qmail package, I am trying to build the only package listed in debian/control, i.e. the qmail-src package. It still fails. See Steve's answer: The problem seems to be that your debian/rules is misusing the binary-arch and binary-indep targets for purposes other than building the packages listed in debian/control. qmail is not an official Debian package. qmail-src is an official Debian non-free package. I believe that the problem here is that your default invocation of pbuilder is attempting to build both the qmail-src and the qmail packages, which are two separate things. I did find where attempting to build the qmail-src package would require the users, and I have fixed that bug. It appears that you are now reporting the same error, with a different package, that is not part of Debian. Please separate out the two. As far as I can tell, I have fixed the bug in qmail-src. The remaining complaint about the qmail package is moot, as qmail is not part of Debian. Also, I do not see where or why I need to update the description of the qmail-src package. Update what exactly? If you want a change in the description, please file a different bug report. Because If you try apt-get source --build qmail-src it will most likely fail because the users do not exist. You MUST install the qmail-src package first. won't be true anymore once your package is fixed. This seems to be closely related enough to not deserve a new bug. -- Thomas Huriaux signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#403388: Suggested way of softly disabling debconf notes
Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.10
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
Most of debconf notes are annoying as they are not related with
package configuration and force the user to press enter many times
during the installation. As a few debconf notes are still mandatory to
have a working system, I suggest to add a configuration option to allow
the user to choose whether he/she wants to see these usage notes,
displaying only critical notes otherwise.
The attached patch is probably very incomplete, I prefer to have
some feedback on the idea before working too much on it.
Cheers,

Bug#402809: libapache-mod-log-sql: Debconf abuse
Thomas Goirand [EMAIL PROTECTED] (14/12/2006): Thomas Huriaux wrote: Your debconf templates belong to a README.Debian, please do not stop the installation process with usage information (see policy 3.9.1).

No, it would give me one more reason to ask you to remove this pointless note :-) If no and I have to remove the question, what is the standard way to direct the users to the doc (as it's rather important)? README.Debian files, package description, NEWS.Debian, manpages, configuration manuals, etc. Would a simple echo would be enough? No, it has nothing to do there.

You have attempted to build the package without installing it first. If you install the package, the install scripts will create that user for you. If you don't want to do that, feel free to add any missing users yourself. If you want to know why this is an issue, ask the people than fund Debian, as they are the ones that demanded the qmail users be removed from the default passwd file because qmail is considered non-free If you dig through the old bug reports for qmail-src, you will see a bug that added in the code to add the users. ? I was trying to build the qmail-src package from the Debian qmail source package, not the real qmail package from the qmail-src package. I don't understand why an automated debianization requires existing users to succeed. Or I may not have understood the purpose of the qmail-src package. Note also that if it is a known issue that you don't want to fix, you should mark the bug as wontfix instead of closing the bugs. I never parse closed bugs before reporting a current issue (and I don't believe being the only one acting like that). This will avoid this popping up now and again.

Bug#402972: grub2: Please switch to gettext-based debconf templates
Package: grub2 Version: 1.95-2 Severity: minor Tags: l10n Hi, Please use gettext-based debconf templates to allow translations, as recommended by the developers-reference (section 6.5.2.2). See po-debconf(7). There is also a lintian warning: W: grub2 source: not-using-po-debconf If you need additional help to do this switch, do not hesitate to ask me or to ask on debian-i18n.

Just wanted to follow up on this to tell that there is an internationalization version having both fr, it and de language sitting in our CVS. I'm currently working on having this version ready to be uploaded, it's going to be in mentors.d.n soon. No problem, it's mainly to track all these packages through the i18n infrastructure that I'm submitting these kind of bugs quickly. Please also note that many l10n teams have a QA process for translations. As I assume you did the French translation yourself, you should really ask for reviews on debian-l10n-french (I don't know for the other languages).

Bug#402798: poker-network: [INTL:fr] French debconf templates translation update
Package: poker-network
Version: 1.0.31-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: l10n patch
Hi,
Please find attached the French debconf templates translation update,
proofread by the debian-l10n-french contributors. This file should be
put as debian/po/fr.po in your package source tree.
Note that translations update are allowed during the freeze, so I expect
to see this translation in Etch :-)
Cheers,
