New .ca server
Looks like www.ca.debian.org is toasted - does anyone know of any other .ca sites that are mirroring the web site? Jason

Here is a preliminary list, I just looked for .tar.gz files in unstable that were not .orig.tar.gz files. I made 3 lists, actually. But I know the first list is incomplete, because some things like cfingerd and sysklogd didn't show up by this method and I had to add them by hand. Packages with debian developers as thier upstream maintainers, that may be in use by people outside debian. I have marked packages I'm sure are in use elsewhere with a star. * alien * cfingerd * sysklogd * sysvinit userv syslog-summary fdflush * grub * hurd * ld.so * modconf * wvdial bock curves m68k-vme-tftplilo uutraf members vmelilo libpam-mkhomedir libpam-motd locale-ja locale-ko pppconfig hostname mkrboot * electric-fence liwc nasm-mode pointerize diploma * sysadmin-guide verse * sex vivid ncurses-hexedit * savant /* debian developer is one of a number of coauthors */ * tyvis /* debian developer is one of a number of coauthors */ * an filters empire-hub empire-lafe * gnomehack xchain ean13 ppmtofb liblockfile lockdev publib svgalib-dummy mailcheck mime-construct signify smtp-refuser spamdb spamfilter lbdb libplot-perl r-pdl seesat5 spline wzip rpncalc diskless lockfile-progs kernellab dnscvsutil ftp-upload ftpwatch ipip netselect nsmon * perlmoo rlinetd statnews * pdmenu 2utf deroff langdrill lincredits * witalian authbind blinkd setcd falselogin fakeroot libtricks * ltrace nvram tagtypes * ticker bookmarks gnats2w urlredir skattek horde-core big-cursor buici-clock fvwmconf oneliner * xfstt xtranslate xtrlock * wmbattery Packages authored by debian developers, but not used outside debian because they're debian-specific: menu apt boot-floppies console-apt cruft debsums dftp dunc equivs gnome-apt dconfig file-rc suidmanager vrms adduser base-files base-passwd debianutils dpkg-ftp dpkg-hurd dpkg-mountable dpkg-multicd dpkg perl-base dbuild cvs-buildpackage lintian debian-test debmake dh-make dpkg-scriptlib dpkg-awk devscripts dupload debhelper kernel-patch-2.2.10-i386 kernel-patch-2.2.10-powerpc kernel-patch-2.2.9-powerpc pentium-builder quinn-diff yada pkglist debiandoc-sgml-doc doc-base developers-reference dhelp doc-debian-es doc-debian-fr doc-debian debian-policy dpkg-doc-ja dwww installmanual-de maint-guide maint-guide-es debian-guide debview emacsen-common geda int-fiction perl /* dummy package, not all of perl! */ debbugs java-common java-compiler-dummy java-virtual-machine-dummy miscutils /* dummy package */ pkg-order popularity-contest kernel-package user-de user-es user-ja mime-support ipmasq debiandoc-sgml dtm sgml-base task-sgml bug debget grep-dctrl ruari-diff dpkg-cross reportbug theme-converters xaw-wrappers Packages that for some other reason have no .orig.tar.gz.

Something you can also add: cgilib, dbview, uucpsend. For apcd the Debian maintainer is the de-facto maintainer, userv is used outside of Debian. Regards, Joey -- The only stupid question is the unasked one. Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists.

web pages should be updating properly now
I just closed a slice in common_translation.wml so the pages should be updating properly now. Yes, this means I'm back from vacation. I never though I could get tired of Chinese food, but discovered it is possible. Jay Treacy
Re: Compressing Lists-Archives
Martin Schulze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Could you folks please consider uncompressing those announcement > lists like: > > debian-announce > debian-news > debian-devel-announce > debian-security-announce ok, I did that. We're a fairly loquacious bunch, having generated 1.3 GB of list archives through the years. debian-user is averaging around 135 messages/day so far this year. It looks like I can save about 95 MB, not too insignificant, by compressing debian-changes and debian-devel-changes from 1998. Old postings from those lists aren't too interesting. Does anybody have any problems with that? I wanted to ask before I did it because undoing is expensive, bandwidth wise. Compressing a list brings it down to about 1/8 the size, which is good as it means we probably don't ever need to outright delete archives. We can always compress to save space. Guy

For Hurd and gnumach the following is true: Sometimes we add code to the official release that shall not be part of the upstream source (temporary or Debian specific hacks).

Re: red alert: web site not building
I'd like to thank those who found and fixed the problems with the web site building. It is comforting to know that people are willing to take the time to fix problems when I'm unavailable. :) Jay Treacy
Re: [thompson@wpi.com: Show Favorites Awards--logo pickup]
This is a worthwhile award. Should we show such images on our site for a short period or create a page for them? I'd appreciate it if someone volunteered to do the work for whichever we decide to go with (should be quite simple).

If you are looking for a web maintainer for this "new" page then I'll volunteer for it.
