D-I spellchecker: separate "critical" errors from cosmetic ones

2006-05-07 Thread Christian Perrier
Davide, 

In http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/spellcheck/level1/index.html, under
"specific checks", we currently have various checks:

-wrong number of choices
-too long strings
-unbalanced quotes
-missing "Choose Language" in localechooser
...

Among these, some are "critical" such as the wrong number of choices,
which can break some D-I screens, while others are more cosmetci (a
too long string is simply cut and thereforre does not "break D-I").

Could you separate those in different lists?

That would help us, i18n coordinators, to spot the critical ones more
easily and fix them ourselves (I think this is needed for things that
are likely to "break" D-I)

CCing debian-boot since that is the best place for having this kind of

What is wrong with the miboot d-i floppies for oldworld ?

Actually one of the work that needs doing is to get the miboot floppy set in
shape. the root floppy seems fine, but afterward there is some awkward things
happening that could benefit from someone with your skills.

Have you managed to build d-i already ? Please try it, it is not so difficult,
and the instructions are linked out from :

  http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer

Please do a checkout, and try building it, and once you have done that, i
would be pleased to guide you toward the actual floppy stuff (mostly in
pkg-list//powerpc or so).

This has been taken care of, and i am still letting mine run as backup in
case.

Ok, done. debian-boot is the place you want to be for this though.

[g-i] Segfault: missing symbol

2006-05-07 Thread Davide Viti
A few days ago I realized g-i was building but caused
a segfault when running debconf.
Using an unstripped version of libc the segfault disappeared, meaning
that some needed symbol was stripped from libc. Hopefully I found out
what is missing:

~ # debconf -o d-i /usr/bin/main-menu
/build/buildd/cdebconf-0.100/src/frontend.c:175 (frontend_new): Cannot load 
frontend module /usr/lib/cdebconf/frontend/gtk.so: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: 
symbol iconv_open, version GLIBC_2.1 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link 
time reference

hope this helps,
Davide

I tried to rebuild fontconfig-2.3.2 without stripping debug symbols and the 
missing symbol is
definitely referenced from there:

I tried the netinst cd of the 6 May 2006.
a) :-)The keymap selected with the italian language was a "qwerty"  
b) :- however it did not allow to write accented letters, 
neither at or numbersign 
Since @ is S-2 I think that the layout is the us one.

c) :-(( I've not been able to load the right 
keymap:/usr/share/keymap/i386/qwerty/it.kmap.gz
  both in "install" mode and in "expert mode".
  When I tried to choose the keymap the only 'option'
- well it wasn't really an option since the user was forced to accept the
  installer choice :-/
 was to *keep* the kernel keyboard.

Can a user select the keymap from a list of available layouts?

Giovanni

yes, sure.
Actually many improvements have to be done: for example, check for unbalanced
braces and such should not be performed on level1, but should be extended to
all levels.

Let's start identifying what has to be considered critical: apart the obvious
number of choices in multiselect messages, should the wrong variables considered
critical?

Yes, I have downloaded this image and now all is working fine, I have 
partitioned my hard disk manually (as I usually did).

Thanks for your help. I only wanted to help to the community but I didn't know

busybox override disparity

There are disparities between your recently accepted upload and the
override file for the following file(s):

busybox-static_1.1.2-1_amd64.deb: package says priority is optional, override 
says extra.

Either the package or the override file is incorrect.  If you think
the override is correct and the package wrong please fix the package
so that this disparity is fixed in the next upload.  If you feel the
override is incorrect then please reply to this mail and explain why.

[NB: this is an automatically generated mail; if you replied to one

Package: busybox
Version: 1:1.01-2
Severity: normal

If /sbin/init is a /bin/sh script using busybox sh, then when this
script tries to run a program that in turn forks and runs a program in
the PATH, running that program will fail. PATH is set by busybox sh to a
default value, but it's not exported.

Take a look at bug #328729 for an example.

Of course if busybox init is used, it sets PATH in a way that causes it
to be available to child processes. So this doesn't affect most uses of
busybox.

Summary:Busybox init requires tty device files to
exist before the sysinit script is run and init -q doesn't work
Description: 
If the /etc/tty0 - /etc/tty63 files do no exist before inittab is read
(e.g. on init start), init can't use the virtual terminals.  This is a
problem when trying to use a udev only system (i.e. where the tty# files
do not exist until udev is started), when udev is executed from the
::sysinit 'runlevel' (e.g. no /linuxrc, or /linuxrc does the absolute
minimum to boot into init).  The workaround is the have static device
files for these devices, either in the root filesystem or created by
linuxrc for initrd-based systems).

I just found a thread about this here (after I figured it out with a
completely different google search; it seems my googling skills need to
improve):

http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2006/02/msg00562.html

Apparently 'init -q' doesn't work, and even if it did it's not
documented (in busybox.txt generated during busybox build at any rate).

Which concludes with:

This would be the "either" case, above.

Technically, it will ignore lines out of inittab that refer to consoles
that 
don't exist at the time it reads the line out of inittab.

This is not a new behavior on the part of busybox.

I think this one's the real problem.  Bug boils down to "init -q
doesn't work".

There's a major rework of init pending for about the 1.2 timeframe,
which kind 
of sapped my personal interest in messing with the current init too
much. 

But you need a bug fix before that, so I'll take a look...

I the short term, if you could add an entry in our bug thing 
(http://bugs.busybox.net) about -q not working, it would make sure we
don't 
forget this and that you get notified when we fix it.
