Re: Problems regarding a CD vendor
Hi there, people. I'm Cyrano, Felipe helped me translating a message I sent about problems with a cd vendor here in Brazil. The whole story is in the original message, copied below. I said that, if I didn't get any positive answers from the vendor this week, I would send to the lists a confirmation of the problems I was affraid that would happen for real. Well, they did. I payed for 14 cds of the whole Debian stable 3.1 repository, and the guy (Allan Taborda dos Santos, first in the brazilian vendors list) sent me later a digitalized image of the recipe, proving that he posted the cds on feb 12. I complained with the mail service, then, and the company answered me that the object wasn't received in their distribution unit. This means that, somehow, the product doesn't exist for the mail service. And I never had problems with them before, so I trust the mail company more than I trust Allan Taborda. So I'm here to confirm that Allan is not trustable, and that you should point this fact, somehow, in the vendor's list. I don't know if it would be better to just erase him from the vendor's list, or insert an observation telling that a user had, recently, problems with this vendor. I leave the decision for you. Here I go again, trying someone else to sell me the cds. :/ thanks for your attention and help. Debian rules. :) Cyrano Cyrano is complaining that he bought 14 CDs of Debian 3.1 (stable) from Allan Taborda (a listed CD vendor) on the week of February 12th, 2007. Cyrano explains that he had paid in advance and Allan sent a tracking code that doesn't work. Cyrano also pointed that he contacted Allan and got a reply telling that everybody always got the CDs and that Allan would not take responsability of any mistakes. Considering that, Cyrano thinks that Allan didn't sent anything to him and is waiting the CDs this week. If he didn't got it he will contact debian-cd once again to confirm the problem and to request the removal of Allan from our CD vendor list. Cyrano also commented that he thinks the best would be replace Allan's name with a note recommending to not buy from him. I already pointed to Cyrano that both debian-cd and debian-www are english maillist and if he need any help he can contact debian-l10n-portuguese.

Re: Problems regarding a CD vendor
Hello Cyrano, I've taken note of your complaint. How come the mail company doesn't know anything about the tracking ID - does it maybe expire after a few days? Have you already tried filing a report with them to have them look more thoroughly for the lost package? What is Allan's reaction to this? I've CCed him with this mail. We usually remove shops from the list if problems continue to be reported by customers. However, I'm reluctant to do so based on a single complaint only.

If you're just copying particular files, rather than cloning the whole disk, "isoinfo -x" is one way to avoid the need for loopback altogether... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Problems regarding a CD vendor
Hello Richard, I understand your relutance, and agree with it. Allan wasn't helping me much, he said something like "it's your problem". I emailed him a really angry message and then he decided to be reasonable. :) I already contacted the mail company, and that's the problem. Their answer was confusing and didn't say anything objective about my problem, so I also sent them an angry message today. I complained about Allan because, according to my experiences, I have much more reasons to trust the mail company than him. I can't see who would be interested in stealing 14 Debian cds, as almost nobody here knows what Debian is at all... And also, Allan charged $50 + mail tax, and the cost of the cds here in brazil is $14. Nice profit, I think... Well, if I get any important news I tell you. Thanks for the attention.

D-I RC2 - Status and schedule - Post-Etch development
Status == After the final upload of the kernel last week, I have again started preparations for RC2. Since then all kernel udebs have been updated and uploaded and there has also been a final upload of all other components for translation updates and pending changes. Yesterday we have started migrating udebs to testing. We still need several udebs to migrate to testing before D-I can be built and uploaded. These last migrations should happen over the next 4 or 5 days. Unless I hear differently from the RMs, this is the final chance for packages that produce udebs to migrate to testing, especially for those that are included in the D-I initrds. !! Because of this I also qequest the RMs to _always_ wait for my ack !! before hinting a package that produces udebs. Pending issues == There has been recent activity on two longstanding partitioning issues: - resizing NTFS partitions: looks to be resolved by Ben Hutchings - flags for MAC partition tables: looks to be resolved by David Härdeman Both issues need further testing and uploads, but things are looking very promising. Because the involved udebs are not included in any initrd, this will not affect the building and uploading of debian-installer itself. Schedule I can see the D-I RC2 release happening with something like the following schedule (all in March), assuming no major bugs are discovered: 4- 8: Wait for all udebs to migrate 9/10: Build and upload debian-installer RC2 10-12: Do the build and BYHAND dance 12/13: Switch CD-builds to using RC2 and switch dailies to etch_d-i 13 : Make sure fixes for pending issues have made it to Etch 13-18: Testing of images other than full CDs 14/15: Full CD builds 16-18: Testing of full CD images 19 : Release RC2 Post-Etch development = I think it is time to open the SVN repository again for post-Etch work, with the following exceptions: - the "packages/partman" directory and everything below it because of the work on the open issues described earlier - the "installer" directory and everything below it - the manual as that is currently frozen for a last upload If any other components need a last update, they can be uploaded from the etch branch that has been created.
