Hi,

first to note: I have opened up a bugreport for this issue at
bugs.debian.org. So please CC every answer to [EMAIL PROTECTED], as

I have checked this and this is (seems to be) a bug in the configuration
scripts of the packages. In fact i did not check if this file exists and
handle the situation gracefully if it doesn't. I will fix this with the
next upload which will be in a few days, together with updated translations.

To get your package running for now, you will have to do a
touch /etc/mailname
just for it to exist (it doesn't matter if it is empty, cause it is only
used to suggest you an administrator email address), so that maintainer
script will not fail. After that run:

dpkg-reconfigure mantis

It should finish installation then. Please test that to see if my
assumption about the bug is write in your case.

Not that bad. I'm not a native speaker as well, therefore my english
isn't the best neither.

Bug#401844: Package smstools should provide a debconf configuration

2006-12-06 Thread Patrick Schönfeld
Package: smstools
Version: 3.0-1
Tags: pending
Severity: wishlist

The current smstools package does not provide the user with an ability
to configure package during installation. Instead a default
configuration is installed, that may not match a majority of use cases.
This behavior can (but doesn't always do) break functionality unless
user creates/modifies smsd.conf himself.

Therefore a debconf-based configuration should be provided which enables
the user to configure basic aspects via debconf that do enable it to run
smsd after installation.

This feature is work-in-progress and is almost finished. It will be
included in another upload if the main-maintainer approves it.

Bug#401996: init script fails to stop smstools under some conditions

2006-12-07 Thread Patrick Schönfeld
Package: smstools
Version: 3.0-1
Tags: pending
Severity: normal

The init script in the current version of smstools fails to stop
smstools under some conditions. That is because of some peculiarities,
the smsd has, which need to be handled.

This problem was reported by the upstream author, who suggested to use
his sms3 script instead of the debian init script. But this script will
not work for us, therefore a new init script should an will be
implemented *based* on the sms3 script the upstream author provides in
the next version of the smstools package.

in my opinion this is not an issue with the mantis package, but maybe
(if not solved already) a problem with the apache versions prior to

there you don't have such problems. For me this is not solvable with

Bug#804018: dpkg: provide options to avoid service startup on package installation

2015-11-04 Thread Patrick Schönfeld
Package: dpkg
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

as of today services a started once they are installed. This is a problem
in some cases, e.g. when installing and configuring a service via puppet
and/or in preparation for a HA setup.

We had a lot of discussions around this design decision in the past and I
do not want to restart that. Instead I'd like to propose a feature to
opt-out from automatic service startup by introdocution of a new dpkg
option, e.g. Dpkg::StartServices with a truthy default.

RATIONALE:
By adding a configuration option for this, we allow the administrator of a
Debian system to decide if services are started after installation or not.

It is superior to adding a command line switch only, since it allows the
admin to set this permanent and system-wide (with all its disadvantages) or
on a per-installation base (which would be suitable to be used by
configuration management systems).

Possible implementation:
Per policy 9.3.3.2 have to interface with init via invoke-rc.d for service
startup. A possible (and admittedly naive) implementation which does not
involve changes in each and every package, could possibly just let dpkg
install a policy.d layer and ensure its absence on process end. Though some
sort of IPC between invoke-rc.d and dpkg that does not involve filesystem
modifications would probably be better.

Best Regards,
Patrick

Hi,

thanks for thinking about my proposal and commenting on it.

yes, I'am aware of the policy-rc.d mechanism, see my naive implementation
proposal (it's what I meant with policy.d layer - a misnomer of mine).
However, that would effect all service starts, not only the start after the
package installation, which my proposal aims at.

Of course I could write some policy-rc.d script checking an environment
variable, blacklist or a like and set it before the package installation,
but that somehow feels like a hack, considering that this is just a
distribution decision I want to overrule as an admin (on a case-by-case
basis).

Maybe it helps understanding my proposal, if I describe a use case:
Let's say I'd like to install serviceX, which shall be managed by
pacemaker. Since pacemaker will manage the runtime status of the service
this means to install, disable (and currently) stop the service (which is a
hack in declarative configuration management systems since there is no
state to describe "install package with service disabled").

Providing a standard way to not start a certain service after package
installation seems a lot of cleaner. And that is what my proposal aims at.
Apart from that our distribution decision to start services after
installation is quiet controversial to some people anyway and my proposal
would provide a standard way for those people to opt-out from this choice.

I don't think so, because after all its the package manager which starts
the maintainer scripts which in turn starts the service. Apart from that
it's _the_ place where I consciously choose to install a package and if I
want it to be running afterwards. And in case of configuration management
systems: the interface it communicates with.

Yeah, I admit that the implementation idea has all sorts of problems (which
is why I called it naive in the first place).
But I really think dpkg is the right place for the flag (to start services
or not), while invoke-rc.d is the tool called by the maintainer scripts and
therefore responsible for the actual doing. What's missing is the glue
between these components.

Maybe a better implementation would be an environment variable respected by
invoke-rc.d and passed-thru by dpkg?

Bug#804018: dpkg: provide options to avoid service startup on package installation

Hi,

2015-11-05 2:38 GMT+01:00 Guillem Jover :
>

and I think that is not the right interface for such cases or at least it's
not the best interface we can can provide for such cases. It's certainly
good enough for the admin who wants to overrule our policy permanently,
although letting the admin write a script for such a simple decision still
feels kind of clumsy. IMHO it has probably been designed for build chroots
and that's absolutely the purpose it fits best.

But let's have a deeper look at the configuration management case. If they
wanted to provide a way to say "install that package, but make sure that
the service is not started afterwards", they could either

a) Permanently install a policy-rc.d layer, letting it interface with the
package install (e.g. by the env variable you said and another one set by
the configuration management to tell the policy-layer which service the
policy applies to)

b) Install a policy-rc.d layer before each package installation, removing
it afterwards

c) Let each user handle installing a policy-rc.d layer either permanently
or before each package installation

Each of this option has several disadvantages:
With a) the admin is no longer able to install another policy-rc.d script,
apart from that it's a quiet invasive from a configuration management
system to put a script in place that is permanently interfered with for
every service that is ever started.

With b) the door is widely opened for all kind of trouble, e.g. leaving
mess around after package installation. Sure there can be put safety
measures into place to avoid that, but overall it increases complexicity -
for a Debian specific solution, since other distributions just don't start
services after installation.

With c) everything applies which applies to b), additionally each user has
to implement this himselves and need to workaround the fact, that the
configuration management system is not aware of his implementation. Thats
where we are today: Some people employ exec-handlers to kill the service
after install, some put a policy-rc.d layer in place.

All of these solutions have in common that they workaround a decision that
we as a project have made (to provide "default" configurations for services
and start them after package installations), which is fine in some cases
(e.g. software I *want* to be running after installation like sshd) and not
so fine in others (installing services I want to manage via a clusterstack
for example). Feels somewhat like giving the user some nails, but expect
him to build the hammer on his own.

And it does not have to have an idea what happens inside maintainer
scripts.

But since it's responsible for installation of those packages, it is also
responsible for providing the environment in which the maintainer scripts
run. Seems absolutely legit to restrict what the maintainer scripts are
allowed to do, even if that restriction is soft, in a way that could be
ignored by the maintainer scripts.

In that specific case, however, we absolutely do have control over what
happens. We have a policy in place that maintainer scripts have to
interface with invoke-rc.d, so if we'd decide on a flag, we could very well
set it in dpkg and let invoke-rc.d respect it. It would be cheap and
solving a problem in a way that other tools (like configuration management)
can rely on. And if the maintainer script does not run an init script at
all, this flag does no harm either.

Patrick

Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

as the current maintainer of libdpkg-log-perl I'm in the process of
orphaning my packages, with this package being the only one where I am the
upstream author as well.

Since I'm not planning to maintain this library anymore and it actually
does have a very few users [1] I think it's better to remove the package
from Debian and thus I hereby request that.

I may note that back when I wrote this lib (for my purposes) there were a
request to include a-kind-of library (and its associated tool dpkg-report)
directly with dpkg. But the changes as requested by the dpkg maintainers
were basically a complete rewrite of the lib, so it probably doesn't even
serve as a starting point if anyone is interested in doing that. The
discussion of this changes can be seen in the bug report at [2].

Indeed and I did not notice that it's even available on OSX where I could
have needed it. So thanks for the hint.

Still, I see value in providing Debian-specific libraries via CPAN. The
tools available in the packaging
ecosystem allow installing packages independently from the system package
manager, apart from that they can manage several different versions of a
library for different perl versions, which is quiet handy as a developer.

Consider the following use case:
A developer want's to write a tool to query depends of a perl application
from debian/control files, so that this can be the source of truth for what
dependency the application has, even when developing and therefore running
it on a developers OSX notebook (where he'd use the tools in perl ecosystem
to manage the depends). Since the application itself can run on OSX just
fine, there is no reason why this tool couldn't run on OSX. It would also
help to manage dependencies for various target platforms, keeping them in
sync.

There is a library for this and maybe other use cases and it is most likely
to be in sync with the policy. It would be quiet cool if a random perl
developer could use it and get it via standard means, e.g. cpanm. Currently
there is no library for parsing Debian dependencies on CPAN (at least I
haven't found one that doesn't depend on other Dpkg::* libraries) and even
if there were one, it wouldn't be the reference implementation.

I agree that something like that will always have limitations, e.g. if the
libraries in fact require dpkg binaries, but not all of the dpkg perl
libraries do have those limitations, do they?

Patrick

Yes, almost. I will only support apache2 for the next release, cause the
apache variants are ruled out. Also it will take me some time to provide
the lighttpd configurator. So, if I add lighttpd to the automatic
configuration we need to change the text, cause it is to apache-specific
currently. But as it *is* apache-only for now, i think it is better to
keep it like this.

So go on in the process.

Hi,

2008/10/6 Julien Cristau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
> OK this is odd, the keyboard and mouse get added twice according to the

Well, the question is: Why?

> Why are the CorePointer and CoreKeyboard options commented out?
> Uncommenting them should fix this.

It does.

xorg.conf(5) says:
Option "Core Pointer"
When this is set, the input device is installed as the core (primary)
pointer device.  There must be exactly one core
pointer.  *If this option is not set here, or in the ServerLayout
section, or from the -pointer command  line  option,
then  the  first  input  device that is capable of being used as a
core pointer will be selected as the core pointer.*

Please note the part which has been enclosed by asterisks. According
to this the options are _not needed_ because Xorg should be able to
find it out itself and apart from this I guess that Xorg think this,
too:

(==) The core pointer device wasn't specified explicitly in the layout.
Using the first mouse device.
(==) The core keyboard device wasn't specified explicitly in the layout.
Using the first keyboard device.

After this is says:
(**) Configured Mouse: always reports core events

And as already said it worked in Etch so this is clearly a regression
(from the documented behaviour).

Patrick

2008-10-07 Thread Patrick Schönfeld
(CC'ing the maintainer of libphp-phpmailer, because I have questions
about this upload to sid)

Hi Michal,

2008/10/7 Michal Čihař <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
> after upgrade of libphp-phpmailer (1.73-6 -> 2.1-1), mantis fails to
> send emails:

OK, thanks for the bug report. I'll investigate on it.

Kevin, your upload of the new upstream version happened very current.
I wonder if this is supposed to migrate to lenny?! I can't imagine
that, because its unlikely that new releases get the OK from the
release team, but in that case I don't understand why this uploads
happen in this phase of our release cycle.

Please comment on this.

Thanks and best Regards,
Patrick


Bug#420841: mantis should depend from mysql-client

I am wondering of which installation you are talking. If you mean the
web-based installation i don't see a need to install mysql-client, as
mantis is setup during the package installation w/o the mantis installer
(which has been tested and should be working fine as is). If it now
fails under some circumstances, then i think we should check
dbconfig-common for missing depends, cause that is what is used for
installing the database.

Could you supply me with further information?

Uh.. didn't even know that ubuntu contains a current mantis package. But
as far as I see they imported them into their distribution.

Best Regards

Patrick

Bug#433682: Add a console viewer for revelation files

2007-07-18 Thread Patrick Schönfeld
Package: revelation
Version: 0.4.11-1
Severity: wishlist

It would be quiet useful if a non-x11 viewer would exist
to access revelation data. Read-Only access would be sufficient,
but write access would be a big plus.

Best Regards

Patrick

Bug#884857: developers-reference: clarify process on retirement/improve wording

2017-12-20 Thread Patrick Schönfeld
Package: developers-reference
Severity: normal

Hi,

while the whole process of retiring is mostly well documented, I felt
somewhat insecure what's the right way to inform the account managers of
my retirement.

The current wording is:
> Notify the Debian key ring maintainers that you are leaving by opening
a ticket in Debian RT by sending a mail to &email-keyring; with the
words 'Debian RT' somewhere in the subject line (case doesn't matter).

The confusing bit (for me) is the request to just sent a mail with the
words "Debian RT" which is somewhat like confirming a mailinglist
subscription but doesn't really feal like the right way to open a
ticket. I guessed that the mail should actually contain a *request* to
lock my account / move it to emeritus state and to include my account
name, but that isn't really clear from the wording as _seemingly_ it
puts emphasis on some technical detail of the process (spam protection?).

I guess the devref could be somewhat more fool-safe (;) by changing the
wording for example like this:
"Notify the Debian key ring maintainers that you are leaving by opening
a ticket in the Debian RT by sending a mail to &email-keyring; with the
request to move your account to emeritus state. Please ensure to include
your account name in the mail and the words 'Debian RT' somewhere in the
subject line (case doesn't matter)."

Second, I signed my mail to the RT with PGP/MIME, which I learned from
Gunnar Wolf is troublesome because RT mangles the mail. I'm not sure if
the mail needs to be signed anyway (the devref doesn't say so) but if it
should, then noting that technical restriction could probably safe DAM
some time. :)

If it is required, I'd change the above suggested wording like this:

"Notify the Debian key ring maintainers that you are leaving by opening
a ticket in the Debian RT by sending a mail to &email-keyring; with the
request to move your account to emeritus state. Please ensure to include
your account name in the mail and the words 'Debian RT' somewhere in the
subject line (case doesn't matter) and that you are using inline-signing
instead of PGP/MIME (which is mangled by RT)."

Hope, opening the ticket is helpful.

Best Regards,

Patrick
