Bug#65933: Setting clock to UTC sometimes doesn't work

2000-06-20 Thread Niccolo Rigacci

Package: boot-floppies
Version: 2.2.15
Subject: Setting


When dbootstrap executes "Configure the Base System", if you
choose to set the clock to local time, the string "UTC=no" is
placed in /etc/default/rcS. This is OK.

But if you re-execute "Configure the Base System" and choose to
set the clock to UTC, the value in /etc/default/rcS is not
updated.

I suggest to place an "else" clause in configure_timezone_step2()
function in boot-floppies/utilities/dbootstrap/tzconfig.c

I havent tried reiserfs yet, from what i know it save us a bit of space

jfs is the journaling-file-system from ibm -- the aix filesystem without
the LVM. 

We have  ext3, raiserfs, xfs and jfs.

disadvantages: 
   ext3 isn't a real journalingfs or better: it hasen't the ful
power. Forget ext3.
   xfs  is non-free stuff

So we have two important fs: raiser and jfs. Both uses b-trees. But 
raiserfs is (currently) only for ia32. 

jfs is gpl, supports other archs then ia32 (powerpc, ...) and also
64bit archs (ia64); jfs for ia32-smp is also possible.

raiserfs is more tested then jfs. But i personally like jfs more then
raiserfs.

You could do that now, and it is just as good an idea with the existing
system as it is with the one you have in mind.  :)

No argument here.

I think you are forgetting about something...
how is partitioning going to be accomplished without user interaction. 

I'm not aware of any tools that can take a description of a filesystem
then partition and setup a harddrive(s) accordingly, that seems to be a
task necessary for unattended (auto-pilot mode) installations.  If you
have such a program then it doesn't make much sense to use the manual
tools in the archive, give the user a more flexible and natural UI
instead.  May as well aim for the target instead of below it, if you
fall short and need to resort to the manual tools then so be it, they
can always be an option loaded off of a floppy, the HD, a CD, or a
network.  You already have at least a read-only filesystem available,
that is all you really need for providing extra tools required before
the target system has storage space available. 

I'm not saying, `forget about an interim fs', just that it is an extra
hassle to setup, has overhead, and it should not be necessary, try to
avoid it... a primitive RAM disk used as a scratchpad, yes, a full blown
fs, no.

I don't really see what you can do with an installation before the
harddrive(s) are partitioned, this functionality will need to be
available near the start of the process.

What do you mean with "backward compatible" ?  I think the back-porting
of the patch (created with slang 1.4.0) for older 1.3 series is really
hard because of many difference between 1.3 and 1.4, but you can try it
anyway.  If you get success, then we can use it happily.

Do you think that `minislang' is usable for us in bf-utf for potato ?

What if the partitioner was just a GUI, didnt have any tools itself, it
just interfaced to external command line tools.

potato boot-floppies

2000-06-20 Thread Anthony Towns

Hello world,

Congratulations guys: -testing seems to hold nothing but praise for potato
upgrades, looks good.

Is there anything more you're intending to do to b-f for potato,
beyond 2.2.15? Alternately, do whatever changes you already have in CVS
account for:

critical bugs - outstanding
 * #64371: Smart Array RAID Compaq do not see at boot; 31 days old
 * #64823: incorrect LILO automatic placement on i386; 22 days old
 * #65515: boot-floppies: update-modules requires /bin/bash; 8 days old

important bugs - outstanding
 * #64500: subject boot-floppies don't want to install kernel &
   modules on ppc/apus.; 28 days old

? Or are these not really RC? (If the latter, please downgrade them
appropriately)

Basically, what I'm asking is, as far as source is concerned, are you
ready to go? I realise you need to wait for updated base packages before
you update all the arch dependent bf stuff. If you're not ready to go,
you really really need to get that way in the next day or two.

Feel free to reply to this list; I'm on it, I just don't follow it
too carefully most of the time.

Cheers,
aj (acting release manager)

1) I don't see, why it's critical
2) the -compact flavour should solve this

I think the subject is missleading. It only doesn't want to put LILO into
extended partition. Let's call it a feature :)

I think we wait to tausq to upload -compact and -idepci flavor and for
corresponding pcmcia packages. And b-f has to be updatet for 2.2.16

Do you mean, there will be a newer boot-floppies version used for the potato
CDs? I'm in favour of this, not excatly sure if m68k is hit by these RC
bugs, but there are a few simple changes for m68k, which are in CVS but not
yet in 2.2.15. One way to get this right, would be a new bf version.

Please give a warning before a new bf is tagged, I still have some further
(text) updates for m68k, and I am still waiting for further user input.
(I do not really want to tag myself, but if there is no other way...)

 I'm concerned with whether, after patching it to work with utf8 wide

 Will I be able to use it still, or will it only work for asian text,
 after the patches?

Taketoshi> Do you think that `minislang' is usable for us in bf-utf for potato ?

 I hope so.  The patches from the other libslang will need to be
 ported to it.  Again, will that be compatible with standard ASCII
 still??

sfdisk can do this (but it is much buggier then fdisk and

Okay, assuming all that was pretty much correct and indicative, we
should have all the source updates done and in the archives in the next
52 hours or so, so committing and tagging 2.2.16 around then or maybe
a day or two later should work okay, as far as my schedule's concerned.

I'm okay with being a little laggy with boot-floppies, especially if m68k
is okay for release, since I'm working on the assumption that m68k'll
take the most time to build and upload.

I would expect a debian-installer partitioning program to be a
collaboration of (G)UI, core, and cmdline tools (or at least the bits
from them that are needed).  I guess what it boils down to is if the
necessary functions can be incorporated into the installer, the core of 
the partitioner, or would need to be stand-alone; the latter would
probably necessitate an interim fs, the first two mean more work.


later,

Bruce

It can do part of it (setting up the partition table), but there is
still the task of translating what the user wants for a fs into
partition tables and creating the actual fs on the drive(s).

[If I could get the seagate driver working with this Future Domain 
TMC-881 SCSI controller I would start seriously playing around with this
concept. :( ]

But this leeds into serious problems if a third party bootloader is used,
i.e. IBM (OS/2) Bootloader, Powerquest Bootmagic (comes with Partition
Magic)

there should be an option to allow installing lilo into an extended
partition, maybe with a warning.

Bug#65988: modules unavailable because of wierd symlink

Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A;
Severity: grave

Using the potato boot-floppied version 2.2.15-2000-06-07, I installed my
system from five floppies and the Internet. After the driver disks had been
loaded into the ramdisk, I went to install modules, but there were none in
the list. After poking around I discovered that /lib/modules was a symlink
to itself, and /lib/modules.old contained the modules. 'rm modules; mv
modules.old modules' took care of the problem.

doesn't get the parameter that I'm trying to pass to it; a "modprobe

It was supposed to be fixed in 2.2.15. It is _not_.

And if it's fixed (really??) in some upcoming 2.2.16, then go tell the Acting
