Hi, I've just updated ftp-master.debian.org to use a new version of dak which no longer uses the silly names at all.
This is something I've wanted to do for a long time now (I remember discussing it with people at least 2-3 years ago), but I never found a contiguous chunk of time to work on it until DC6. It wasn't inspired/requested/etc. by anyone or anything in particular, the original names were just a mistake and my bad choice. Anyway, the way dak works now is that all the scripts are invoked by running a top level 'dak' command with the name of the script as the argument, e.g. 'madison' becomes 'dak ls'. dak --help will give you a list of the possible commands. This has a couple of less obvious knock on effects, one of which is mail. (1) mail now comes from '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' rather than '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. (2) Mails from dak now have an 'X-DAK' header. The 'X-Katie' header will remain for a time to allow for transitioning, but you should expect it to go away at some point. merkel (DD accessible mirror of spohr) and klecker (security, non-US) have yet to be updated to this new dak codebase, but I expect/hope to do klecker at least either today or tomorrow. One other thing is that the dak source code is now managed in bzr which is available from: http://ftp-master.debian.org/bzr/ [This is a bzr 'knits' tree and correspondingly requires bzr >= 0.8, i.e. from sid (or etch after the next archive pulse).] -- James -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
