Reportbug wants to send an email, and may try to use your MTA for that.
If you don't have an MTA, you probably won't see it. If it isn't
configured, it may not work either.

You can configure reportbug to use an smtp server instead. Run
'reportbug --configure'.

To reduce these sort of questions, I recommend having the output from
reportbug go into your usual email client and send from there.
Personally, as reportbug doesn't have direct support for my MUA, I use
a script (see below) to dump mails into the Evolution drafts folder.
This issue will go away if reportbug supported xdg-email or if it
imported the email client interfaces from reportbug-ng.

~/.reportbugrc:

mta '/home/pabs/bin/evolution-bug-wrapper'

If you don't want to configure your e-mail client to use a smarthost,
you can also use reportbug.debian.org as your SMTP server and be done
with it. Just add the following line to your ~/.reportbugrc file.


smtphost reportbug.debian.org

This tool is not packaged yet in Debian, please feel free to file an  
"Request for packaging",

see https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ for details.

Additionally, there are other possiblitlities to configure samba.
Did you check for example https://wiki.debian.org/SambaServerSimple
or there is also a tool gadmin-samba (I do not use that software, so I
can't tell if it helps in your case).

Reporting more than one issue in a report and using "general" is unfortunate,
as it will hard for the people to find and fix issues that might exist.
Please read https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting and obtain as much  
information

as possible before filing the bug against the software you assume it is in.

As your bug report does also not contain enough information to act on,  
I'm closing this report

For example, which hardware you have...

Some of the issues above sounds like you maybe also want to get in  
touch with user support channels,

maybe they have some hints for you to solve your problems:

Bug#793461: astrometry.net -- Astrometry plate solver

[Ole Streicher]

Package: wnpp
Owner: Ole Streicher 
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org,debian-as...@lists.debian.org

* Package name: astrometry.net
  Version : 0.56
  Upstream Author : David W. Hogg, Dustin Lang
* URL : http://www.astrometry.net/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Astrometry plate solver
 The astrometry engine will take any image and return the astrometry
 world coordinate system (WCS), a standards-based description of the
 transformation between image coordinates and sky coordinates.

This package already exists in Ubuntu [1]; however it needs some substantial
polishing before it can enter Debian. The Ubuntu package authors have no own
interest in packaging, therefore I take this over. Discussion with upstream
is just started in their google forum [2].

The package will be maintained within the Debian Astronomy Team.

Bug#793464: astrometry-data-2mass -- Star catalogs for astrometry.net from 2MASS

[Ole Streicher]

Package: wnpp
Owner: Ole Streicher 
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org,debian-as...@lists.debian.org

* Package name: astrometry-data-2mass
  Version : 4200
  Upstream Author : Dustin Lang
* URL : http://data.astrometry.net/
* License : GPL
  Description : Star catalogs for astrometry.net from 2MASS
 Astrometry.net needs complete catalogs of star positions, which
 are provided with several resolutions in these packages.

The uncompressed size of these catalogs upstream ranges from
129 kBytes (1000 stars) to ~15 GB (200 million stars), with
roughly doubling the number of stars with each step. Since it
is not useful to put flood the Debian archive with Milky Way
stars, I started a discussion on debian-devel [1]. However, until 
there is a good solution, I would package a subset (total ~120 MB),
which overs about 3 million stars. I still have no idea about the
best way to split it into subpackages; probably I would combine the
smallest catalogs into one 8 MB package, and then have one larger
catalog per package (8 MB, 15 MB, 30 MB, 60 MB).

Best regards

Ole

The package will be maintained within the Debian Astronomy Team.

RE:Ad-hoc survey of existing Debian git integration tools

[PICCA Frederic-Emmanuel]

Hello Ian,

Since we are speaking about workflow. 

I work with instituts who want to maintain internaly their own debian packages 
and repositories.
The objectif is to maintain sort of 'PPA' in order to be as reactive as 
possible when deploying the code internally.
Now from time to time it would be great to release officially these packages 
without too much pain.

So I would like to know how you are envisioning this sort of workflow with dgit 
?

A way to have a dgit 'instance' repository internally to an instituts and the 
connection with the dgit repository of Debian.

These instituts are also upstream developpers and they want to keep the 
packaging (debian directory) into their upstream git repository.

It is time consuming to maintain in parallele a debian package on alioth and a 
debian (directory) package in the upstream for the internal purpose of the 
institut.

sometimes we need to fix the upstream source and it is a lot easier to commit 
to the upstream and do the packaging from there instead of
generating a .tar.gz, importing this in a separate alioth repository doing the 
ususal packaging stuffs (copyright, sbuild, lintian piuparts, etc...).

This question also the team working when the packaging is not on the debian 
infrastructure

In fine the question is how do we create easy passerelles between upstream 
repository and the debian infrastructure.

It seems to me that Debian should propose a sort of decentralized github which 
should allow upstream to setup within a minute a 'PPA' which can be naturally 
connected and beneficiate of the buildd, autopkg-tests depending on the 
infrastructure shared with other etc...

I franckly speaking do not have an idea of how all this should be organize but 
I would like to share my tought with you.

Cheers

Frederic

Bug#793404: massive waste of CPU time in debian/rules by inline commands

[Jakub Wilk]

* Jonas Smedegaard , 2015-07-23, 21:40:
One mistake boost makes is using ":=" instead of plain "=". Contrary 
to popular belief, the former almost always causes more evaluation of 
$(shell) stuff, specially when dh is involved.

Could you elaborate on that?


dpkg-buildpackage -B will run debian/rules 4 times: once to determine if 
build-arch exist, and once for every target: clean, build(-arch), 
binary-arch.


dh adds even more debian/rules invocations. It runs it once every target 
(clean, build(-arch), binary-arch), and once for every override.


So your ":=" variable will be evaluated 4 times, or 7+N times if you use 
dh.


"=" variables will be evaluated only when they are used, which is less 
than 4 or 7+N in most cases.

  Description : Replicated log service

BookKeeper is a replicated log service which can be used to build replicated
state machines. A log contains a sequence of events which can be applied to
a state machine. BookKeeper guarantees that each replica state machine will
see all the same entries, in the same order.

This package is a dependency of Hadoop

Ideally the first would disappear though. Please see the blocking bug

jsap in Debian?

[Guillaume Turri]

Hi,

I would like to have the Java library jsap [1] available in Debian -
and I'm willing to package it if needed.

When I search for it directly (apt-cache search jsap, or
https://packages.debian.org/unstable/java/) I can't find it.

However, when I use a search engine, I find mentions of it in
resources which seems linked to Debian, in particular
https://qa.debian.org/watch/sf.php/jsap
It seems to me that it doesn't mean a package is available, but I
don't know how I should interpret it.

So, to put it in a nutshell: do you confirm this library isn't
available in Debian -and that I can go on, and open an ITP?

Regards,
Guillaume

Hi Guillaume,

You can go ahead, I confirm it isn't in Debian yet. When you are looking
for a file I suggest using apt-file, for example:

   apt-file find jsap | grep jar

It's very useful to find the package containing a specific Maven
artifact for example.

The qa.debian.org page is just a dynamic page listing the SourceForge
downloads for a given project. It's used in the debian/watch files to
detect the releases available upstream. It works with any SF project,
even those not packaged.

Packages of "standard" priority in a fresh cdebootstrapped system as dependencies of packages with higher priorities.

[Jayson Willson]

Hello! I have just installed a Debian Stable system with cdebootstrap 
(cdebootstrap jessie ./ http://ftp.ru.debian.org/debian/) and in this 
new system I found the following packages, which have "standard" priority:


libcap2
libdb5.3
libgcrypt20
libgnutls-deb0-28
libgnutls-openssl27
libgpg-error0
libidn11
libp11-kit0
libtasn1-6

According to "aptitude why", they are installed for the following reasons:

i   systemd Depends libcap2 (>= 1:2.10)
i   libpam-modules PreDepends libdb5.3
i   systemd PreDepends libgcrypt20 (>= 1.6.1)
i   wget Depends libgnutls-deb0-28 (>= 3.3.0)
i   iputils-ping Depends libgnutls-openssl27 (>= 3.0-0)
i   libgcrypt20 Depends libgpg-error0 (>= 1.14)
i   wget Depends libidn11 (>= 1.13)
i   libgnutls-deb0-28 Depends libp11-kit0 (>= 0.20.7)
i   libgnutls-deb0-28 Depends libtasn1-6 (>= 4.1-0)

However, according to Debian Policy 
(https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html), "Packages 
must not depend on packages with lower priority values (excluding 
build-time dependencies)."


Should I report this incident somewhere, or is it ok? Thank you.

Re: Packages to install be default for Stretch

You've approached me/us a while ago, and I asked for a delay so that we
had a chance to release an Alpha before touching priorities. D-I Stretch
Alpha 1 being out, feel free to start moving things forward.

One has to be extra careful with that one.

Let's pretend I don't know how d-i & tasksel work. Looking at
src:pkgsel, I see the udeb has a postinst that calls the following:
| in-target sh -c "tasksel --new-install --debconf-apt-progress='--from 
$tasksel_start --to $tasksel_end --logstderr'" || aptfailed

so it looks to me the installed tasksel is used. Which isn't too
surprising anyway since (besides all tasks) src:tasksel ships tasksel
and tasksel-data binaries, which are both (not-u)debs.

>  * Same for question for "dmidecode": could the priority be lowered to
>"standard"?

Looking at all our packages, dmidecode seems to be used by
installation-report (report-hw script), but it could be added to Depends
or Recommends there…

[ I haven't looked at those. ]

Bumping the priority of libraries is counter-productive. Libraries
should not be installed because of their priority but rather because
other packages depend on them. This way, they can also be autoremoved by
apt.

Looks good to me.

This will be more useful once the Debian PPA idea is implemented.

Where does the name of the file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ come from?

I would suggest reviewing Ubuntu's solution for adding PPA sources.list
snippets and seeing if we can take any inspiration from it or make our
solution more compatible with it.

I'm not aware of any other solutions from derivative distros, but you

Perhaps it could be bumped for binary packages that do not contain any
shared library, but I'm assuming that is not currently possible(?).

In any case, even packages that do not trigger the lintian warning are
not guaranteed to be LFS-safe, this needs either testing or code review.
