etoys now available in Debian's non-free repository
Hi, etoys is now available in Debian's non-free repository, so it's not officially part of Debian (non-free isnt Debian), but technically can be installed with apt-get/aptitude easily. The reason for having it in non-free is that the Debian ftpmasters don't think it passes the criteria for inclusion in main. The etoys maintainers disagree with that but have decided to upload it to non-free for the time being, for the benefit of the users, so they can install it easily. The reasons are described in more detail in /usr/share/doc/etoys/README.non-free - readable for the next 72h at http://paste.debian.net/6962/ The next step will be to file a bug against ftp.debian.org to (hopefully) get this resolved and etoys moved into main. Most probably this will take some time until I do that, to not distract us (Debian people) from releasing Lenny in time. That's also why we gave up trying to convince the ftpmasters now (we tried..), time is running out to get new software into Lenny... regards, Holger pgpGxPBqNljDm.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Let me quote the relevant bit: "For instance, Applied Cryptography (Schneier) says (thanks to Peter Palfrader for digging up the quote): Each signature requires a new value of k, and that value most be chosen randomly. If Eve ever recovers a k that Alice used to sign a message, perhaps by exploiting some properties of the random number generator that generated k, she can recover Alice's private key, x. If Ever ever gets two messages signed using the same k, even if she doesn't know what it is, she can recover x. And with x, Eve can generate undetectable forgeries of Alice's signature. In any implementation of the DSA a good random-number generateor is essential to the system's security." > Short version: The > combination of bad random numbers and a private DSA key on the same > machine is harmful. Wrong, also the combination of a bad random numbers and a public DSA key has to be considered harmful.

project application: OLPC Europe
Hi,
we (a group of people starting OLPC Europe, website below) would like to apply
for a project hosted on laptop.orgs infrastructure, currently mostly to have
a central git repository to store the sources for the Documentation,
Presentations, Information, Code and Press Material.
1. Project name : OLPC Europe
2. Existing website, if any : http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Europe
3. One-line description : OLPC Europe is a OLPC grassroots organisation in
Europe
4. Longer description : quoted from
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Europe/Vision
1 OLPC Europe
We recognize, that under certain situations an european
platform can make life easier for local OLPC
grassroots, also for the newly starting ones, and for
the people at the MIT. This platform shall under no
circumstances be meddling with the local grassroots but
instead help them to grow and flourish.
We propose the following very simple and basic common
guidelines which shall help in forming this platform:
1.1 OLPC Europe IS
1. a Forum / Platform for exchange between local
2. groups, towards MIT and back, European institutions
and with other groups worldwide
3. helping in organizing XOs for the local groups
4. supporting and cherishing the autonomy of local groups
5. focusing on rough consensus and running code
1.2 OLPC Europe IS NOT
1. going to do a local pilot in your country
2. going to tell you what you are allowed to do
5. URLs of similar projects : I dunno ;)
6. Committer list
Username Full name SSH2 key URLE-mail
- --
#1 holgerHolger Levsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
#2 crazy-chris Chris Hager <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
#3 bastiaan Bastiaan Bakker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
If any developers don't have their SSH2 keys on the web, please attach them
to the application e-mail.
-> Chris and me already have a ssh2 key on laptop.org, I'll send Bastiaans
key when I resend the application to [EMAIL PROTECTED] tomorrow - as
described in http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Project_hosting
7. Preferred development model
[X] Central tree. Every developer can push his changes directly to the
project's git tree. This is the standard model that will be familiar to
CVS and Subversion users, and that tends to work well for most
projects.
8. Set up a project mailing list:
[ ] Yes, named after our project name
[ ] Yes, named __
[X] No, not yet. For now we will use
http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/grassroots
9. Commit notifications
[x] A separate mailing list, -git, should be created for
commit
notifications
12. Notes/comments:
Shell accounts and translation infrastructure are not needed.
regards,
Holger

Re: non-Sugar but core software?
Hi, for Debian I've started http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/OLPC/ToDo yesterday, to document what is working and whats not and what work needs to be done. In general, a document describing how the XO-1-fedora installation differs from a plain fedora would be very much appreciated, also by the OpenWRT developers. regards, Holger pgp1BitIwTmpF.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

On a Debian system there are copies of the common licences in /usr/share/common-licenses/ and /usr/share/doc/$package/copyright usually refers to those files. regards, Holger pgpru9XmLidpM.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
