Bug#685878: DDP support in netatalk v3

2015-11-30 Thread T. Joseph Carter
Hi folks, There's a lot of good reasons to see netatalk v3 packaged for Debian, since there are features v2 just doesn't have such as hosting for Apple's Time Machine backups and the like. That said however, there is a bit of a spanner in the works because upstream decided to abandon

Bug#801080: Double->float->int

2016-08-10 Thread T. Joseph Carter
It may be a bug in gcc that is causing the problem, but code that is sloppy about types is never good coding practice. If the scale values are calculated as doubles, then double should be the type for the variable. That's an upstream issue, but it's affecting Debian users and there's a

Bug#873765: Solution to this bug

2017-10-08 Thread T. Joseph Carter
Hi, I think this tool is probably important enough to Gnome users (sid or not) that it's probably worthwhile to suggest a "patch" version that looks like an upgrade from the 3.25 package that at least temporarily reverts to 3.22. For now it's easy enough to manually revert the package, but all

Bug#544651: lvmetad warnings

2018-12-30 Thread T. Joseph Carter
This warning, for a LUKS-encrypted system as configured by the Debian installer, is spurious. The initrd assumes it should be looking for lvmetad—it shouldn't be, but it doesn't realize that. The correct thing to do here is not to remove the warning as Teemu Likonen suggested—if your configuration
