Bug#66190: treetool: Treetool causes arithmetic exception/file open on alpha

2002-06-13 Thread Helge Kreutzmann
Hello !
Adding -mieee as compile flag on alpha cures *this* problem. Of course
this causes a performance hit but this application does not seem to
performance hungry anyway. 

If this application is ever worked on again, the sloppy arithmetic
handling should be fixed though.

So I'd suggest closing this bug with this "fix".

Falls du Kinder hast - wichtig! Gegen Gewalt am Computer!

2002-06-13 Thread xcd4u
Hi du!

Hab noch irgendwo am Computer deine Mailadresse gefunden. Will dir auch nicht 
weiter deine Zeit stehlen - wollte dich nur auf eine, wie ich finde, wichtige 
Initiative aufmerksam machen:

http://www.netkids.info  - gegen Gewalt im Internet

Kostet nichts - außer ein bißchen Zeit -  hilft aber ungemein falls man Kinder 
im Haushalt hat die am Computer surfen oder spielen. Mit diesem Gratisvideo ist 
es mir unglaublich leicht gefallen den Computer meiner Kinder so einzurichten 
daß sie wirklich nur Seiten sehen die für Sie geeignet sind.

Außerdem weiß ich jetzt endlich welche Spiele sie spielen - und ob die auch 
schon wirklich für ihr Alter gedacht sind! Das wars auch schon - außer 
vielleicht - wenn du jemanden kennst der auch Kinder hat - schick ihm doch 
bitte das Mail weiter.

Schöne Grüße aus Salzburg

Paula

At leas your name was listed as author in the Debian package ...

Any chance to realive the project by getting a free license???

We did not modify the code - we just had some diff files containing
patchzes to make it work for Debian GNU/Linux (which perhaps let
the code work at all).  We always ship with the original code in
our archive of sources.

Getting a free License would be a first great step.  Perhaps putting
the project to Savannah or SourceForge could make some fortune.

As I said, we do just patches in a diff file but we like to foreward
our changes upstream - if tehre is any upstream :-(.

Kind regards

 Andreas.

The only thing I can offer, is testing the bugfixed or presumably
bugfixed treetool on my alpha with some phylogenetic trees of mine and
tell you where it still crashes or behaves weird.




Best wishes,

I'll provide a patch (hopefully) this weekend and it would be great if
you can test the patched version then. Thanks.

PLEASE HELP ME

2002-06-13 Thread MRS MARIAM ABACHA
Greetings  (Assalamuailekum)

It is with heartfelt hope that I write to seek your co-operation and assistance 
in the context stated below:

May I first introduce my self as Mrs. Mariam Abacha, the wife of Late General 
Sani Abacha (former military head of state and president of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria) who died suddenly on 8th June 1998. Having noted the 
confidence reposed on your person, I became convinced of your capability and 
goodwill to assist me in receiving the sum of US$19 Million secretly coded in 3 
different sized suitcases.

As it is equally required, the administration of my late husband's property is 
under the authority of his lawyer (DR. MUSA IBRAHIM) however, the current
civilian administration of retired General Olusegun Obasanjo (the president of 
the Federal Republic of Nigeria) is seeking vengeance on the Abacha family 
because of the life prison jail sentence confirmed on him by my late husband. 
In pursuit of this vendetta, the present government have resolved to freeze all 
known assets of General Sani Abacha, including properties at home and abroad 
and are presently embarking on to seize the various bank accounts of my 
husband. In fact, the attack on our family (The Abacha's) is so devastated to 
an extent of seizing our travelling passport, family accounts and even trying 
some members of our family in court for offences allegedly committed by my late 
husband.

In view of this grivious threat to our Economic and personal survival, our 
family trustee have secretly deposited with Security and Trust Company in 3
different size suitcases, but seriously advised me to move $19 Million US 
Dollars into an overseas account, hence the reason why I have chosen you and 
hope that you will come to my full assistance and unlimited
co-operation.

This money US$19 Million Dollars will be secretly transfered through a 
deplomatic security arrangement, all we need is your coporation to receive this 
money into your account. This money has been coded for security reason.

In the meantime, there is a travelling embargo on us the whole family members) 
and our local accounts are seized. We are currently living on goodwill of 
people who believe we cannot be held responsible for the sins
of my late husband.

In view of this plight, I expect you to be trustworthy and kind enough to 
respond to this distressed letter to save me and my children from a hopeless 
future. And if have agreed to compensate you sincerely and your candid
effort in this regard with 25% of the total amount of $19 Million US Dollars. 
In that case, when the money ($19 Million) is moved into your discrete account, 
you will be allowed to draw 25% in your favour, while the remaining 75% will be 
invested meaningfully for my children's future. Our lawyer (DR.MUSA IBRAHIM) 
has perfected arrangements with a Security and Trust
Company concerned and has assured 100% risk free and safe operation.

I look forward to your quick response while thanking you for your co-operation. 
In view of all above details, I request you to keep this letter and
operation highly confidential.

Best wishes,

MRS. MARIAM ABACHA. (MON)

SVGALIB 1.9.x

2002-06-13 Thread Mikael Claesson
Hello.

The debian website says that the QA Group is the
maintainer of the SVGALIB packages. So that's why I'm
mailing here. I'm sorry if that's wrong of me.

I need to install SVGALIB 1.9.11 (or newer) on my
debian box, since I need to install software which
requires it. I tried to compile it myself but I
couldn't get it right. Are there any unofficial
packages anywhere? I tried to do a search, but I found
nothing.

I would very much appreciate any help or suggestion on
this.

Thank you /M
