problems with bug #338269
Hi! I'm having some problems squashing this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338269 Since a couple of weeks ago knights was working without problems I think it could be caused by some library which it depends on. Do you have any advice about it? Does anybody experienced a similar breakage?

PGP and GPG keys...
Hi, I'm currently ramping up to help Hakan Ardo mantaining the toolchain-source package. I have already mailed him about it and he's very happy to get help :-). Now to my question: I have, and use, PGP 8.1 from PGP Corporation and have a key(s) there which I use to encrypt and/or sign email with. Can I use this key in the debian project, or do I have to create a new GPG key? I saw somewhere that PGP keys are depreciated as PGP uses algorithms that are not DSFG-free. However, are not the keys themselves just a private/public key-pairs which should be usable together with GPG? I would really like to be able to reuse my PGP key in the debian project. Can I use some sort of conversion tool to create a GPG-keyfile from my PGP-key? I know that I can decrypt/verify files encrypted/signed with GPG using my installed PGP, is the inverse is true?

And I couldn't find /usr/share/applications by grep'ing through the whole /etc. I really need to dig deeper into this. Unfortunately your package doesn't show up in a menu here - except the ugly default "Debian" submenu. So the menu entry is correct but the desktop specification seems wrong. I just looked at "your" .desktop file: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=ksudoku Name[xx]=xxksudokuxx Exec=ksudoku %i %m -caption "%c" Icon=ksudoku Type=Application DocPath=ksudoku/ksudoku.html Comment=A KDE KPart Application Comment[ca]=Una aplicació KPart per a KDE ... This looks like a template which has been edited a bit carelessly. "A KDE KPart Application" should rather be "Sudoku Puzzle generator/solver". And 'xx' is no language I have ever heard of. And the reason it doesn't show up in my KDE menu is probably that the category is not defined. Look at an example file from my 'cream' package: [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Cream Comment=Edit text files Comment[de]=Textdateien editieren TryExec=cream Exec=cream %F MimeType=text/plain Categories=Application;Utility;TextEditor; Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/cream.xpm This application is shown in the "Editors" K-menu. I do not claim to be a guru regarding desktop specification files. But since your package is mainly designed for KDE I would love it to show up in the K-menu menu under "Games/...". By the way... you can find the desktop specificaton at: http://freedesktop.org/Standards/desktop-entry-spec The available categories are listed in Appendix A of: http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/menu-spec I vote for something like "LogicGame". > I've found that KDE actually seems to have some magic to do this without > being told (like with 'make install'), but I don't think GNOME will. I've started using desktop files with KDE 3.3 and it didn't have such magic. I needed to logout and login again. Please try removing and installing the package and look whether the menu items appears and disappears. Users won't like to restart their session just because they installed a new application. There is a reason Debian's logo is not a four-colored flag. ;) Once the desktop file is fixed I promise I'll upload your package. Christoph -- ~ ~ ".signature" [Modified] 1 line --100%--1,48 All

After asking around a bit on IRC, I got: - from http://www.debian.org/devel/join/nm-step2, "Each Applicant must provide an OpenPGP version 4 public key with encryption capabilities." - somebody mentioning that "a PGP5 key would be fine". Searching in keyservers, I see several keys for "Daniel Widenfalk", but the e-mail address do not match yours, and they seem standard 1024 bit DSA keys. Perhaps if you post your keyid somebody can take a look and tell you whether it's fine or not?

They should all come out to, basically, "Sudoku Game." The English name does mention that it is a solver as well. I based them on the translations from KSokoban... I figured it would be better to have some translations, even if they weren't perfect, than to have none at all. > You will hardly believe it... your package has just been uploaded. This has been a fast upload for me, actually. I have bad luck picking applications to package, they always require tinkering :- D > One thing which I'd like to ask to to keep investigating.

LogicGame is, indeed, unsupported, even in the KDE in experimental. I love these desktop standards, there are so many to choose from... What do you think, should I leave it as a LogicGame and hope that this is fixed in future KDEs, or move it into an inaccurate category like StrategyGame (the only other category in KDE that is close to what Sudoku is)? I'm inclined to leave it in LogicGame, since I have several packages installed that already put their icons at K/Games.

Can I use > this key in the debian project, or do I have to create a new > GPG key? 1. Create a temporary gnupg key (don't send the temporary one to keyservers) and try to sign your PGP key. (You can delete the signature later as long as you don't send your PGP key to a keyserver in the meantime.) This tests whether other DD's can sign your key using gnupg. 2. Does your key already meet the requirement of being signed by a DD? If it doesn't and test 1 fails, you would be better off with a new key - a gnupg key. If test 1 does fail but you have a signature already, ask on gnupg-users about what is wrong in your PGP key and how to fix it. > I saw somewhere that PGP keys are depreciated as PGP uses > algorithms that are not DSFG-free. Specifically, IDEA. I can't help without the keyID and some of your questions may be better answered on the gnupg-users mailing list. There's no problem with having more than one key - as long as the one you use for Debian work is signed by a current DD. (e.g. I have two gnupg keys.) > However, are not the keys > themselves just a private/public key-pairs which should be > usable together with GPG? You may have to remove encrypting / signing subkeys that use IDEA. A simple way to find this out is to import your PGP public and private key into GnuPG. Then create a test message in PGP that is encrypted to your own key (only) and try to decrypt that in GnuPG. It may just be a case of changing the algorithm preferences in your PGP setup and re-exporting the key. Then repeat the process encrypting using GnuPG and decrypting in PGP. > I would really like to be able to > reuse my PGP key in the debian project. Can I use some sort > of conversion tool to create a GPG-keyfile from my PGP-key? GnuPG, by default, is DSFG compliant because it supports the OpenPGP standard without using IDEA. If GnuPG can use the key without the non-DSFG compliant IDEA plugin, then you shouldn't have problems. Many PGP keys can be used in gnupg, it comes down to whether you need to retain support for the non-free IDEA. > I know that I can decrypt/verify files encrypted/signed with > GPG using my installed PGP, is the inverse is true? You'll have to try it and find out. "GnuPG and newer PGP releases should be implementing the OpenPGP standard. But there are some interoperability problems" http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/documentation/faqs.html#q1.2 The same FAQ has plenty of solutions for those interoperability problems. -- Neil Williams = http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ pgpOfytcMY98D.pgp Description: PGP signature

The "official" test is:
GPGOPTS=" -q --no-options --no-default-keyring --no-auto-check-trustdb
--keyring $DESTDIR/nm.gpg --trust-model always"
echo "Let's test if its a version 4 or greater key"
VERSION=$(gpg ${GPGOPTS} --with-colons --with-fingerprint --list-keys 0x$KEYID
| awk -F : '$1 == "fpr" {print length($10)}')
if [ $VERSION -eq 32 ]; then
echo "Warning: It looks like this key is an Version 3 GPG key. This is
bad."
echo "This is not accepted for the NM ID Step. Please doublecheck and
then"
echo "get your applicant to send you a correct key if this is script
isnt wrong."
else
echo "Key is ok"

Question about skim.
Hello dear Mentors, I am a scim user but I am also a KDE fan so I need the skim package. I noticed that skim is preparation for more than a year now, so I guess its current maintainer forget it. Is there a way I may be sponsored for packaging an up-to-date version of skim ? I can't find the e-mail address of the current maintainer, I only saw the names of Mr Osamu Aoki and Mr Christoph Berg but none of them seem to be the maintainer. I also have another question, I am currently under sarge I can't afford to have a broken distribution because I use sarge for my work. I have two solutions, the first one is to install both sarge and sid but this is a dirty work, I am also thinking about making the packages in a chrooted environnement but I have never done that so far. Can you give some advice please ? Thanks for your help. Marbrier Sébastien.

A chroot is a nice solution - I use it for many things. the program 'debootstrap' can help you building a chroot. just: mkdir sid-chroot sudo debootstrap sid sid-chroot http://yournearestmirror. sudo chroot sidchroot in here, you can create a user account, install packages and whatever you like. /Sune -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The current maintainer is actually working on the package quite actively. I know he uploads his packaging work to mentors.debian.net regularly, and indeed there's the recently released version 1.4.3 [1].

You need to look at the owner of the ITP bug [2] to find the maintainer, William J Beksi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Osamu Aoki only submitted a RFP, William later changed it to ITP and became the owner of the ITP bug #278275. The other bug merged with it, #309857, is submiited by William as well. 1. http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/skim/ 2. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=278275 Ming 2005.11.12 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
