Bug#1063916: Message from hellekin
What about changing upstream of existing nginx* packages to follow the developer community? As a heavy NginX user, I would rather do this than keep with a company with questionable practices. Stick to the developers, not the company. Any other option (new packaging, etc.) would simply require changes on all servers. So, there must be some policy in Debian that protects the developer community and helps follow its decision. If not, that's probably a good discussion to have. -- https://ps.zoethical.org/pub/offdem-ozone-cfp
Bug#684001: base-files: Missing AGPL-3 license
Package: base-files Version: 6.9 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, The GNU Project (www.gnu.org) released version 3 of the Affero General Public License (AGPL-3) on 19 November 2007. The Debian project has been accepting software released under the APGL-3 into the main archive since December 2008. Yet, the license file is not included in the /usr/share/common-licenses/ directory, which belongs to the base-files package (all versions are affected.) The GNU Affero General Public License is based on the GNU GPL, but has an additional term to allow users who interact with the licensed software over a network to receive the source for that program. We recommend that people consider using the GNU AGPL for any software which will commonly be run over a network. The latest version is version 3. Given the growing importance of AGPLv3+ licensing in free software projects, and its compatibility with the DFSG, the license should be present in the base-files package. The original license for inclusion in the Debian package can be copied from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.txt Regards, == hk -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-486 Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages base-files depends on: ii gawk [awk] 1:4.0.1+dfsg-2 ii mawk [awk] 1.3.3-17 base-files recommends no packages. base-files suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#642012: x11-common: ssh-agent Xsession script does not check if gpg-agent will enable SSH support
Hello, I don't know the policy for overriding packages, but using that patch I fixed the problem for myself. As gpg-agent can provide the functionality of ssh-agent, 90gpg-agent can take over the functionality of 90x11-common_ssh-agent by unsetting OPTIONS[use-ssh-agent]. Another way of doing it is to chmod -x /usr/bin/ssh-agent, so using the alternatives system might provide a cleaner way.

Bug#642012: Disregard previous patch
It might help, but functionality is *not the same*: e.g. gpg-agent cannot load ssh-keys bigger than 2048 bit. == hk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Bug#575258: ttf-mscorefonts-installer: Missing monotype.ttf?
Package: ttf-mscorefonts-installer Version: 3.2 Severity: normal Hello, I came across an exe archive at CERN[1] including the MSFT fonts and the License. Their version provide a monotype.ttf font that is not included in this package. That font is not listed at http://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/ You can find the original files on the CERN FTP: [1] ftp://root.cern.ch/root/ttf/corfonts.exe Actually, I think using that source might even be more convenient, as it would allow to drop the dependency on cabextract by simply using unzip and download a single file. I'm not sure about the legal implications, but the CERN distribute them already, don't they? Moreover the fonts are all over the place and make it easier for web designers to work, so I don't see Microsoft suing anyone on that ground; and for Debian, it doesn't change a thing. == hk -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages ttf-mscorefonts-installer depends on: ii cabextract1.2-3 a program to extract Microsoft Cab ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.28 Debian configuration management sy ii defoma0.11.10-4 Debian Font Manager -- automatic f ii wget 1.12-1.1 retrieves files from the web ii xfonts-utils 1:7.5+2X Window System font utility progr Versions of packages ttf-mscorefonts-installer recommends: ii ttf-liberation 1.05.2.20091019-4 Fonts with the same metrics as Tim ii x-ttcidfont-conf 32TrueType and CID fonts configurati ttf-mscorefonts-installer suggests no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#554707: Crontab fails if apt-cacher-ng is bound to multiple addresses
Package: apt-cacher-ng
Version: 0.2.2-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
If you changed BindAddress to add the 1.2.3.4 IP to /etc/apt-cacher-ng/acng.conf
apt-cacher 0.2.2-2 breaks on crontab with the following error:
/etc/cron.daily/apt-cacher-ng:
Cannot connect, no alternative (socket file) available
no such host: localhost1.2.3.4
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/apt-cacher-ng exited with return code 255
So, it concatenates addresses instead of picking one.
