Could it be possible that these daily builds are moved to a buildd
machine? Most daily builds are now done there.

Of course, you'll understand that I don't want to blame the work don,
or even the reliability of builds done on your boxes, Joey. You know
how I value your work, I think..:-)

But I would find it more consistent in the long term to have daily
builds done on buildd machines.

I'm afraid I don't exactly know what needs to be done:Luk did some
moves to buildd machines last year. So did Gaudenz after and during
DebConf...and so did Phil Kern recently for...arm(?).

Bug#606984: Still no sound on my Powermac G4 (digital audio)

2011-03-30 Thread Thomas Carlson
I tried out your latest Daily build #3 on my PM G4 (digital audio).  Sound 
still doesn't work, and when I check /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist.conf I 
found that snd-pcsp is the only file blacklisted.  I changed the file to read:

# Uncomment these entries in order to blacklist unwanted modem drivers
# blacklist snd-atiixp-modem
# blacklist snd-intel8x0m
# blacklist snd-via82xx-modem
# Comment this entry in order to load snd-pcsp driver
blacklist snd-pcsp
blacklist snd-aoa
blacklist snd-aoa-codec-tas
blacklist snd-aoa-fabric-layout
blacklist snd-aoa-i2sbus
blacklist snd-aoa-soundbus
# Comment this entry in order to load pcspkr driver

After a reboot, the sound worked. Using Volume Control, was able to set a sound 
theme.  The switches tab indicated that the PC Speaker was working.

cat /proc/asound/cards gave me:

0 [Tumbler]: PMac Tumbler - PowerMac Tumbler
 PowerMac Tumbler (Dev 14) Sub-frame 0

This indicates that the snd-powermac is now working.

When I tried to play an audio disk, however, Sound Juicer opened and promptly 
crashed.  When I tried to reboot, I got a message that File Manager was not 
responding.  This is probably a separate issue, however, as VLC media player in 
the weekly-build of debian-testing-powerpc-xfce+lxde works fine with the same 
modification the alsa-base-blacklist.conf file.

up to date links

2011-03-30 Thread Francis B. Roderick

Hi all,

I observed the following when starting the installation manual.  The 
first note says, there may be a more up to date version and then refers 
to a link,  which refers to a page containing another link... which in 
turns refers to  a page with another link, at which point you end up at 
the page you started from.


The manual itself, refers to yet another link, which then opens the HTML 
version, with a note stating "this manual may not be up to date".  Which 
of course is where we started.


Copyright page
  - The note advises the user to check the debian-installer page for an
updated version using the following link:
*(http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/).
*
  - The Debian installer page then refers the user to the squeeze page,
using the following link:
*(http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/debian-installer/)*

  - The Debian Squeeze page then contains a link back to the
installation guide.
* (http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/installmanual/)*

  - This then returns the user back to the point where they started.

  - Section 1.6 page 4 "Get the newest version of this document", 
refers to the following page:

*(http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/i386)*, for the latest
version.

  - This opens the HTML version of the manual on the copyright page
- Where the first note states: "A new version of this manual may
  be found on the Internet at the debian-installer home page."

I'm not sure and I'm probably missing something but this does appear to 
be a rather circular way of handling updates.


Finally, I'm new, I don't want to come across as overly critical, nor as 
someone whose sole mission is to offer criticism .  I plan to review the 
manual and note things that may appear wrong, missing, or confusing, at 
least from my perspective.


Any advice as to the best way to handle these kind of issues, open 
e-mail? ...direct to the attention of a specific individual? file a bug 
report..etc?  Direction would be appreciated.


Also, if anyone wants to point out how I can help to resolve issues, 
once verified, I would be happy to contribute solutions where I can.


Thanks,
Frank

I've repeatedly said I'd prefer that happen.

it will be a good idea to checkout the source code for the manual.
That would give you the possibility to provide patches, which would
be a big help.

Please file a bug report against the installation-guide package. That'll
send us a mail and it'll be kept recorded in the BTS so it'll not be
forgetten.

An update on the issue:
 
22:11 < cjwatson> elmig: I think that's fixed in unstable
22:11 < cjwatson> it sounds a bit like this from 1.99~rc1-6:
22:11 < cjwatson> - Account for FreeBSD module headers when calculating 
  allocation size.
22:12 < cjwatson> (25 Mar)
22:12 < cjwatson> 1.99~rc1-8 should generally be happy on kfreebsd

daily images are still using 1.99~rc1-3.

I could successfully do a gnome desktop install using the
20110329 daily:

  
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/20110329-5/powerpc/iso-cd/debian-testing-powerpc-netinst.iso

I encountered the same problems as Antonio.  Once the installer
was finished, but before it rebooted the system I used this from
a tty console:

  echo 'linux=/boot/vmlinux initrd=/boot/initrd.img root=/dev/ps3da1' > 
/target/etc/kboot.conf

Bug#598765: debian-installer: FTBFS on alpha: needs mirror update?

2011-03-30 Thread Witold Baryluk
Well,

there is no squeezy for alpha, it was not released with other architectures,
and it will probably not be relesead even after normal release.

debian-alpha team is targeting re-release on normal schedule of Debian wheezy.
But this is not yet decided oficially, so currently only unstable/sid
is available for alpha (and lenny and experimental of course).

Would be nice if debian-installer from sid, would use sid distribution
for building. Currently according to logs, package is from sid,
but it have hardcoded squeezy strings in build process.

Neverthless currently building debian-installer is slightly
pointless for a while, because of udev issues, which will be fixed
when eglibc 2.13 will enter unstable. (it already is fixed for example
in libc6.1 2.13-0exp5 for experimental).

Regards,
Witek
