Ah okay. No I will not rename the package.

Only change I'm thinking to do is change the font shipped by udeb,
currently it ships DroidSansFallback. I'm thinking of changing it to
DroidSansFallbackFull will this cause any problems?.

Seems change of font within that udeb can be done in independent of and 
thus tracked as a separate bug than the issue of migrating non-fallback 
fonts to Noto.  I.e. need not delay the transition and need only be 
discussed with those directly involved - no need for distro-wide 
discussion of that :-)

OK. And yeah, that's mainly what I had in mind. :)

Some fonts are listed in src/usr/bin/gtk-set-font in src:rootskel-gtk
(which has a mapping from language to font name), but there's nothing
there for Droid, so as long as the fallback thing works automatically,
the name shouldn't matter too much.

(As usual: you can safely pretend I didn't follow or fully understand f-k
things.)

Given the size of the fix and the fact the comment right above the code
being fixed is explicit about the initial intent makes me want to
cherry-pick it right away. It might be a good idea to let it go through
a bit of testing before doing so, just in case something breaks.

What do you think?

(In the meanwhile I'll be preparing a stable branch for it and adding
this to my “next point release” todo list.)

I was thinking to at least wait for it to hit testing first (should do so
at the end of the week) and then probably giving it a little more time
(just a week or so) to bake there too, but I may be being too conservative.

 No, as of now upstream git repository of android source provides 2 
 fallback variants DroidSansFallback and DroidSansFallbackFull along 
 with DroidSansMono. So this should not be a problem.

Seems fair to me; feel free to prod me in two weeks if you saw no
breakages by then, so that I can push/ask SRM for an upload.

I had this kind of timeframe in mind…

… then discovered the fix was from July! But only released a few days
ago. :)

No problem, that really was a no-brainer.

All those modaliases correspond to devices whose drivers are built-in.
So it's not surprising that they're not found in modules.dep, and I
don't think this has anything to do with the failure.


Indeed, I've been seeing them for a while and I don't believe they are
anything more than a cosmetic issue.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.



Bug#794410: (no subject)

2015-11-10 Thread Jean-Marc Liotier
I encountered this perfectly reproducible exact 12% total freeze bug 
using a Jessie installer image dating back a few months on an Intel 
J1900 host with integrated Realtek network hardware - I'm afraid I don't 
know which Jessie sub-version.


However, on the exact same hardware (including the USB flash dongle), 
the Debian installer completed successfully using the 
debian-8.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso image.


Users who encountered this bug with a Jessie DI version older than the 
8.2.0 that was published in September 2015 might want to try again with 
that one.
