Debian books for new developers

2001-12-25 Thread Dr . Günter Bechly

Dear Debian friends,

maybe you remember me as an active former Debian developer who left the
project some months ago. I now sell all my Debian and  Linux literature
on Ebay and therefore would like to inform you about the concerning
links. These books and journals are  certainly very valuable for many
Debian users and developers, and represent an original sales price of
more than 500,- EURO.  Since I offer each item for a start price of only
1,- EURO (or 1,- $), I hope that this information is sufficiently
on-topic  and interesting to be not considered as spam on this list.

Happy New Year and happy linuxing,
Guenter Bechly

I started packaging it and ran into a couple of problems

1. The source tarball is still called sed (the latest version is
   sed-3.52.tar.gz). What are my options of dealing with this other than
   asking upstream to change the source tarball?
2. I compiled with a program prefix of 's', so super sed binary will be
   called ssed to differentiate it from GNU sed. I'll also use alternatives
   to make this the default sed. This takes care of the binary and the man
   page, however the info pages are still called sed.info, sed.info-1 :-(.

GNU sed was last released in August 1998 and for all practical purposes this
is the only maintained version of sed. I have no idea why super sed changes
are not merged into GNU sed, I am waiting to hear from the author on this.

You can rename the source tarball when uploading to debian.  No problems.

You can't use alternatives in this situation, because the real said doesn't
use them.  alternatives can have multiple slaves, not just one, so the info
pages can be linked to the main binary as the same time the manpages are
linked.

What you want is dpkg-divert.  But I vote against diverting /usr/bin/sed.

I have to agree with Adam, diverting sed might be dangerous.

HOWEVER, nothing forbids you to package it simply as ssed for now, then
run very comprehensive regression tests to make sure it has no incompatibi-
lities with GNU sed.  Maybe, symlink sed to ssed in your system to help with
this testing. 

If ssed is indeed faster, better, and backwards-compatible, as well as
maintained upstream, we might want to use it as our sed for woody+1
(provided you email enough evidence that it would be a good idea, and the
sed maintainer agrees with the exchange).
