Thank you. I tried setupterm(NULL, fileno(dirstream), &erret)
erret returned 1, showing success.
Then I assigned rl_instream and rl_outstream to dirstream and ran pCmd =
readline(">").
But the readline still did not echo input characters to the socket the
diagnostic warning was the same.
Of course, I included "curses.h" and "term.h" .
Could you tell me where is my mistake?
Thanks, Alex.

gamecon driver
Hello, I recently soldered a couple of SNES controllers as suggested in the Documentation/input/joystick-parport.txt file (from the kernel tree). The controllers work well under the stock Debian 2.4.18-1-686 kernel, but I've been unable to get the controllers working under several 2.6 kernels (the stock 2.6.7-1-686 kernel didn't work, and neither did several 2.6.8.1 kernels I've compiled). I receive a "No such device" error when I try modprobing the gamecon module with the 2.6 kernels I've tried, and I can't seem to find a resolution online to this issue. I wouldn't mind trying to figure out if there is a problem with the driver in the 2.6 kernel (I have some programming experience), but I'm unsure how to start troubleshooting the issue (where to look in the kernel, online, etc.).

How to remove ITP from debian.org?
Hi, I would like to remove two ITP:, namely python2.3-lame and lsongs. I want to remove python2.3-lame because it depends on LAME, which has patent issues. LSongs needs to be removed too because the current version depends on python2.3-lame. It is pointless to leave them open, since neither package can ever be released. Should I just close the bugs or is there something else I should do? Thanks!

It worked fine under all 2.4.2x and 2.6.x ( up to and including 2.6.2 ) kernels. Once I installed 2.6.3, it stopped working. I use the same modules as before ( joydev, gameport, ns558, and sidewinder ). Only difference now is that the gameport module detects the port, then before ns558 fails with error code -16 ( still haven't discovered why it does ). I am using ALSA module snd-intel8x0 and have tried every suggestion under the sun ( passing joystick_port options and the like ). Strange thing is, I recently tried out SuSE 9.1 Professional ( DVD ) and the YaST sound card utility detected the gamepad and had it working! I should've noted if it was a 2.6 or 2.4 kernel.

Re: gamecon driver

The controllers work well under the stock Debian 2.4.18-1-686 kernel, but I've been unable to get the controllers working under several 2.6 kernels (the stock 2.6.7-1-686 kernel didn't work, and neither did several 2.6.8.1 kernels I've compiled). I receive a "No such device" error when I try modprobing the gamecon module with the 2.6 kernels I've tried, and I can't seem to find a resolution online to this issue. I wouldn't mind trying to figure out if there is a problem with the driver in the 2.6 kernel (I have some programming experience), but I'm unsure how to start troubleshooting the issue (where to look in the kernel, online, etc.). Any suggestions? Matt Fishburn fishburn at mit dot edu Hm... I can relate... I have a Microsoft Sidewinder connected to the Gameport on my Intel 810 onboard sound card. It worked fine under all 2.4.2x and 2.6.x ( up to and including 2.6.2 ) kernels. Once I installed 2.6.3, it stopped working. I use the same modules as before ( joydev, gameport, ns558, and sidewinder ). Only difference now is that the gameport module detects the port, then before ns558 fails with error code -16 ( still haven't discovered why it does ). I am using ALSA module snd-intel8x0 and have tried every suggestion under the sun ( passing joystick_port options and the like ). Strange thing is, I recently tried out SuSE 9.1 Professional ( DVD ) and the YaST sound card utility detected the gamepad and had it working! I should've noted if it was a 2.6 or 2.4 kernel.

request for help with subversion 1.1.0-rc2 Debian packages
Dear People,
I've tried my hand at building Subversion 1.1.0-rc2 packages. I've
imitated the packaging of the official Debian packages as far as possible.
Whenever possible I applied the Debian patches. However, since I don't
understand exactly what I am doing, I suppose some breakage was
inevitable.
The main thing that failed were the swig bindings. So the python and perl
binding packages, namely python2.3-subversion and libsvn-core-perl
packages are empty. However, subversion itself passed all tests. I haven't
done much with it yet, but look forward to playing with it.
If anyone is willing to take a look I'd appreciate it. Since the only
Debian patch that did not apply cleanly was debian/paches/rpath.patch in
the source directory, this seems the most likely cause of the problem.
You can get my packages (binaries and source) by using the lines below.
deb http://www.cbcb.duke.edu/~faheem/debian/ ./
deb-src http://www.cbcb.duke.edu/~faheem/debian/ ./
I attach the patch rpath.path below. The comments are the original one by
the maintainer, David Kimdon.
Here is the relevant entry from the changelog.
* subversion/trunk/debian/patches/rpath.patch: Only change is in
build/generator/gen_base.py, where I'm really just guessing. Other
changes are just relocating the patch, and not significant.
I have a few further comments.
1) I realise that the official Debian packages will be out once the
official release has happened, but I thought it would be nice to encourage
Debian users to do some testing before the release. Like everyone else,
I'm anxious to start using fsfs. And I thought it would be good practice.
If I can get everything working properly I'll post an accouncement of this
to debian-user.
2) I think it would be a good idea if packages of subversion without the
BDB dependency could be created.
Would different versions of all the Debian packages have to be created in
that case? Ie. libapache2-svn, python2.3-subversion, subversion, libsvn0,
subversion, libsvn0-dev, subversion, subversion-tools, libsvn-core-perl.
3) I noticed all the tests that were run (as far as I could tell) were
python scripts. This may be a stupid question, but how did they work when
the python bindings were not built successfully?
Faheem.

* subversion-1.0.2/Makefile.in (LINK) : Remove -rpath.
(LINK_LIB) : New variable. This is what we use to link libraries.
'libtool' keys off the '-rpath' argument to know that it should create a
shared library. Removing the rpath parameter from the library link will
cause libtool to produce a convenience library (a static archive) and no
shared libs, that is not what we want. For any libraries in /usr/lib
libtool knows not to actually put the rpath into the binary.
* subversion-1.0.2/build/generator/gen_base.py (TargetLinked) : Use the
'$(LINK_LIB)' command by default.
(TargetExe) : Executables should be linked with '$(LINK)' command so
no rpath is put into the binary.
* subversion-1.0.2/build/generator/gen_make.py (Generator) : Fix the
apache module link rule to explicitly link to the necessary subversion
shared libraries.

Re: Sponsor for a new package
Mathew is right. I have to be nicer with new people. And i should not write mails at 2AM when i am almost falling asleep and not taking more care of my language. However my points stand. DFSG are the guides by which a DD and non-DD wanting to put packages in the repository should be enlightened. There is no workaround. Either a package conforms to those guidelines or cannot enter in the repository (read main). And Raster3D does not conform. On the other hand, as a comment, if the package has never been uploaded, it does not make sense to have several changelog entries (2.7c-1 and 2.7c-2). They should be put together, to avoid dpkg-buildpackage to build a .changes which will not upload the complete sources (orig.tar.gz).
