Bug#1001508: simplesok -- Simple Sokoban is a (simple) Sokoban game.

2021-12-18 Thread Friedhelm Mehnert
I have spend several hours to package a nice game I found into a Debian
package. I then even spend more time to go through the steps, required
to get it into Debian.

I had to find out the hard way, I can not upload it to
mentors.debian.net because the package has to be gpg signed, and
mentors.debian.org is very picky about the ciphers used for this.

So, to sum it all up: Debian refuses to even look at my packet!

As a consequence, I decided to go with a friendlier distribution.

You can find my Debian packages of this nice little game here:

Bug#1001508: ITP:simplesok -- Simple Sokoban is a (simple) Sokoban game.

2021-12-11 Thread Friedhelm Mehnert
Package: simplesok
Severity: wishlist

This is a very nice implementation of the popular Sokoban game.
I have created a package for Debian from it and would like to get it
into Debian. I'm willing to maintain it.

Description: Simple Sokoban is a (simple) Sokoban game.
 It's aimed for playability and portability across systems. It is
 written in ANSI C89, using SDL for user interactions. It was developed
 natively under x86_64 Linux, but it should compile just fine on
 virtually anything that has a C compiler and the SDL library.

I have the same problem. Exactly like described here. Tried several
different kernels. No change.  Lenovo T410 with Debian Stretch and

Well, that's how things seem to be these days. By asking nicely one does
not archive anything anymore. Once you get pissed, get unfriendly, and
start anoying people, *then* you'll get an answer! :-)

I'm not a programmer. I do not have the resources, to compile php-5 from
source and try the fixes out.

Anyway, let me try to explain:

I have recently updatet a production-machine from Squeeze-lts to Wheezy.
Squeeze has Postgresql 8.4.

So, after the update, I thougt it would be a good idea to update to the
Wheezy-Version Postgresql 9.1 as well. So I did, using the
pg_updatecluster methode as outlined in the README.Debian, which worked
like a charm. Everything was working as expected...

Well nearly everthing. After the upgrade my application could not get
the BLOBs from the database. The files had zero length and were empty.

So I put some debuging code into my application, which showed, that the
pg_lo-export function returned TRUE (success), but produced empty files.

So I purged the new version and restored the old version from backup.

I looked at the documentation, which came with the new version, but did
not find the slitest hint on what might be wrong.

Several days later I found the *course* of the problem within the
online-documentation for Postgresql 9.0!

There it was. BLOBs now have permissions! To be able to retrieve them
you have to grant at least select permission to the user the
web-browser runs as on each and every single object!

So I upgraded again, picked one BLOB, granted the permission and --
bingo -- it worked! So I had to write a script, to grant the permissions
to all the 700+ BLOBs within my database and things worked again.

So knowning the *cause* of the problem still leaves us with a bug.

The pg_lo_export function returnes TRUE and silently produces unusable
files, if the BLOB lacks the needed permissions. It *should* rather
return FALSE in this case.

I have looked at the source and I *think* line 3504 within the source
file php5-5.4.4/ext/pgsql/pgsql.c which looks now as follows:

   3504 if (lo_export(pgsql, oid, file_out)) {
   3505 RETURN_TRUE;
   3506 }
   3507 RETURN_FALSE;
   3508 }

should be changed to:

   3504if (lo_export(pgsql, oid, file_out) == 1) {

I have *not* tested this. Also I can not prove, that the lo_export
function actually returnes -1 in this case, as it should. Furthermore it
is possible, that other functions within the pgsql module have the same
problem.

I hope this lengthy explanation is good enough, so someone who is able
to compile from source and test it can fix this bug.

Best Regards
Friedhelm

Bug#773182: php5-pgsql: pg_lo_export does not work with postgesql 9.1

2014-12-15 Thread Friedhelm Mehnert
Package: php5-pgsql
Version: 5.4.35-0+deb7u2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

this is about a problem with the php5-pgsql package.

It works fine and as expectet with postgresql 8.4.

However after upgrading to postgresql 9.1 the pg_lo_export function does
not work.

It returnes TRUE, the file is created, but has zero length and does not
contain the BLOB.

The Problem is neither with postgresql 9.1, nore with libpq, because it
works fine from the pgsql-client.

Something like 
   SELECT lo_export(coverdat.cover, /tmp/HONK) from coverdat WHERE maj = 77;

works fine!

Calling the funktion from within php5
i.e.
   function my_coverdat ($handle, $major, $tmp_name) {
   $full_name = '/tmp/HONK';
   $my_oid = my_get_oid ($handle, $major);
   pg_query($handle, begin);
   $result = pg_lo_export($handle, $my_oid, $full_name);
   pg_query($handle, commit);
}

does not.

$result is TRUE, but the file HONK is empty!

The same unmodified funktion works fine with postgresql 8.4.

Sorry if this description is kind of unclear, but I'm not a programmer.

Regards Friedhelm

OK, here is some aditional information:

Kino crashes everytime, one tries to use one off the effects from the
fx-tab like it has been reported. I have tried different effects and
also different input files from different sources.

However after digging around and playing with different versions I have
found out, that it only happens when using debian-multimedia.org.

I have tried the following:
   1. purge mplayer, mencoder, ffmpeg and kino from the system.
   2. remove debian-multimedia.org from the sources list.
   3. aptitude update + aptitude dist-upgrade
   4. reinstalling kino and ffmpeg

This resulted in downgrading several libraries.

After the above this particular bug is solved! The effects work again,
as expected. BUT ;-)
this breaks Kino in other ways. I.e. importing an .flv-file works only
in black and white, all colors gone. :-(

And it breaks of cause other applications from multimedia.org.

These are the differences when moving to multimedia.org

   lib debian   multimedia.org
libavcodec52  4:0.5.6-35:0.7.11-0.1
libavdevice52 4.0.5.6-35:0.7.11-0.1
libavformat52 4.0.5.6-35:0.7.11-0.1
libquicktime1 2:1.1.5.1-1+b1   3:1.2.2-0.3squeeze1

also the new libquicktime pulls in libx264-112 1:0.svn20110115-0.0
which the old version did not use.

I THINK, but can not prove it in any way, the problem lies with
libquicktime.

I do NOT know if it is working in Wheezy (have no system to test it).

And by the way EVERYTHING
