Re: Release management - technical

Why? We could have both versions of these programs around for some time. For instance we add a login-pam package so whoever wants can work with it. Once all packages have their -pam package we can switch over to fully pam support. Or we could put the pam aware packages into experimental.

gnome again

Okay, I tried starting icewm and then some gnome applets resp. some of the desktop tools. But they all seg fault. And I get a message that imlib is lacking the file in /usr/etc. Do I have to set an environment variable? I think we should add a README explaining how to use gnome to the packages.

xaw incompatibilities

I just filed bug reports against nextaw and xaw95 because they don't list axe as incompatible. However, afterwards Ray told me that I could as well include the incompatibility list with axe. So I wonder which way is to prefer? Comments? Michael -- Dr. Michael Meskes, Project-Manager|

I think we have to report this against the appropriate X package now since procps source does no longer contain xload. Quite some time ago we decided to go with procps' xload simply because it was better than the X one. Now it seems we have to revert that decision. Michael -- Dr. Michael Meskes,

Apparently the 300 is not compatible to the 600. When I use the stcolor driver with 720x720 dpi I just get white paper, but lots of that. In fact the printing doesn't finish before I switch of the printer. When using 360x360 I get correct output but always using color ink to print black (hmm, even

Yes, I could try that. Can the 600 use color and black ink at the same time? Also would you mind sending me your gs setup? I'm not sure about uniprint but the stcolor driver usage in magicfilter is outdated, i.e. it uses options no longer avalaible in gs-aladin. Or is that no problem with

When using su to change the user you do not get that user's login shell, but the one listed in the environment variable SHELL. I have no idea why this is done, but I don't think it's very intuitive. Anyway, there's a problem with this behaviour when a shell does not behave as sh would. For
