First impressions of new advocate applicants
G'day NMs, I've now processed two applicants that are under the new advocate system and I thought I'd share with you my impressions of this new way. Of course this is only on two applicants so there is obviously a large sample error. Looking at the statistics, it usually takes me about a month and a half or so to process an applicant. I've had some quicker ones as well but it generally takes a month. Both of the advocated applicants took roughly a week and most of that delay was from me (or being somewhere where there isn't a computer). Both the applicants had a much better idea of what I was after. Even though they didn't quite get some thnigs right (most applicants don't or I ask for clarification) their first go was usually better. This is not to say that all previously non-advocated applicants are bad, I've had some amazing ones who got through in a few days before, and others who have taken longer who are contributing usefully to the project now but it does seem the advocate part is working. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Reaping non-advocated applicants
G'day, (speaking as the NM website maintainer rather than an AM here) Currently the NM system does not reap (delete, remove, hide, flag, whatever) applicants that do not have an advocate and have waited for a certain amount of time. I can put a facility in that runs through the list weekly and finds these applicants and then does something to the application. It could also email them letting them know what has happened. How does this sound to people? - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Good idea, after James' message about we strongly prefers a signed key I have not let any applicants through without a signed key. I generally run through the db.d.o and then try to filter on province/state as well as country. I then might say developers are at "Sydney, Wollongong, Nowra, Strathfield". and let the applicant tell me the closest one: "Strathfield, if not then Sydney". Then I ask the maintainers, only if they agree do i tell the applicant it the maintainers name. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

automatic letters
G'day All, I've drafted two emails that will be sent out at 3 and 6 weeks of an applicant who is not advocated. Comments please! 3 week one, warning Dear , On you applied to become a Debian maintainer on the Debian New Maintainer website at http://nm.debian.org/ After 3 weeks of applying, all applicants who have not yet been advocated receive this warning email. Advocation is where a current Debian maintainer believe you have made enough preparations for applying to a maintainer. It is generally reasonably easy to be advocated. For example if you are wanting to build packages for the Debian project then you would probably want to build it and get it checked and uploaded by a sponsor (see http://www.internatif.org/bortzmeyer/debian/sponsor/ for more information) then your sponsor to be your advocate. If you are working on a porting or translation subproject, then someone their should be able to advocate you. After 6 weeks of being in the waiting for advocate queue your application will automatically be deleted from the New Maintainer database. After that time if you then believe you are now prepared for the new maintainer process you are free to reapply. For more information about advocates, see http://www.debian.org/devel/join/nm-advocate - New Maintainer Committee now the 6 week one, your deleted Dear , On you applied to become a Debian maintainer on the Debian New Maintainer website at http://nm.debian.org/ After 6 weeks of applying, all applications who have not yet been advocated are deleted.

NM website wml files now in CVS
G'day All, I've installed the WML source to the nm.debian.org website into the Debian CVS. It's in the webwml cvs root and the module is newmaint. pandora will 4 times a day download and changes to those files (and the English template) and rebuild the website. Please, please be careful touching some of those files as there is some reasonably complex PHP code there and you might bork it up, especially when the evil WML runs over it and puts "" where you least expect. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I don't mind > coordinating the effort but I only got here a year ago... I'm not sure how accurate the following is, but I have heard it from several sources, you may want to ask Bruce himself. Bruce Perens first got interested in Debian when he was thinking of making a CD "Linux for Hams" which was going to contain all the various bits of software to use Linux for hamradio operators. But Debian was still in an undeveloped state so he spent more time working on the generic Debian stuff than on the hamradio part. Work on the ham CD stopped, though up until a few months ago he was still committed to making this CD (some of you may remember his "hearty FU" email, he mentioned that he was going to make this, but use redhat instead). In light of his latest "FU all" email I'm not sure if he is continuing it. Incidently, there is now a group of us working on the hamradio packages. I suppose we're continuing on his work. A web page about Linux for hams is on http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/HAM-HOWTO-13.html#ss13.4 it has a link to bruce's (uncomplete) web site. -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 |@work: [EMAIL PROTECTED],@play: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| |@home: [EMAIL PROTECTED], @debian:[EMAIL PROTECTED]| |@web: http://www.triode.net.au/~csmall @spam:[EMAIL PROTECTED]|

Where the debian logos have gone
G'day All, At Joey's urging, I went looking through the mail archives for the the email regarding what was going to happen to the logo pages on fatman. In debian-devel Christain says: " I thought about these pages again and decided to remove these pages from the net completely (of course, I'll save an offline copy at home just in case...). Though the different logos have been a lot of work, these pages and the "votes" on the pages still seem to confuse some people. If someone strongly objects now and wants to keep these pages online, please contact me. In that case, it would be necessary to rework the pages completely. Again, I'd help with this, but I'm not doing all the work myself!" ( http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-devel-9808/msg00672.html ) I guess we have to decide first if we want to bring these pages back to life and if so what we want to do with them. I like the idea of Debian having multiple logos (but one official one). But I understand if people don't want them back. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 |@work: [EMAIL PROTECTED],@play: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| |@home: [EMAIL PROTECTED], @debian:[EMAIL PROTECTED]| |@web: http://www.triode.net.au/~csmall @spam:[EMAIL PROTECTED]|

Why not read the HTML 4.0 spec? It says: 9.3.1 Paragraphs: the P element Start tag: required, End tag: optional So it's optional. I don't use them myself as it is not recommended by many of the web designers here or in fact in any of the books I've read.

Some notes about CD vendors page
G'day All, Well it seems that the requests for putting information on about people selling CDs is coming in thick and fast, which is a good sign for Debian I think. Some notes about the site I'd like to bring up. 1) The file vendors.wml lists all the countries, I believe they should probably use the tagged version (ie not Australia so they get translated too. 2) The books should probably be put into a similar format as the CDs are. jt, I'm using the new CD vendors list thingy you've setup and its excellent. This will also make it easier to split the books off when that section becomes too large. 3) We have a request to add in a CD vendor from The Netherlands. What is the right english name for this country? Holland? Netherlands? The Netherlands? Also what is its two-letter country code, I think it is .nl 4) This is mainly for jt; Is there any reason why only Frank CDROM uses the new container tag thingy? Or is it a matter of "well I've done one for you Craig, do the rest"? That's ok, i just need to know if there is a reason not to use them. I hope your string protection is working, because the Canadian entry used an ampersand (which I used & for the name. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 |@work: [EMAIL PROTECTED],@play: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| |@home: [EMAIL PROTECTED], @debian:[EMAIL PROTECTED]| |@web: http://www.triode.net.au/~csmall @irc:seeS @icq:5723597|

Y2K statement?
G'day All, I'm getting together a web page that will make a Debian Y2K Non-statement. I think we need to say something, and my idea was that we have a small summary table and a bunch of links going off to the site that says yes or no. It looks something like: === [Debian Logo] Debian GNU/Linux Home About Debian News Distribution Support Development Search Debian is a collection of program packages that come from a variety of sources. As a result, it is difficult to give an overall statement about the Year 2000 bug. However as a service to our users, we have gathered a collection of links of statements from the upstream authors, listed below. Remember that sometimes dates are manipulated by libraries so you need to check them too.

WML syntax file for vim
G'day All,
I have written a syntax file for the wml files for vim. It means that
you too can have an angry gelato look to your wml files when you edit
them in vim.
There may be some problems with it, notice that it also includes the
html and perl syntax files too. Have fun!

I'm not sure, you've emailled the Debian webmaster's email list. We look after the Debian web site (and are also the first port of call for all sorts of Debian questions).

Countries and some changes to the vendor page
G'day All, Well I thought someone has stolen my country names but it seems there is a new template file for them. I was wondering if there is a restriction on the country name tags in that you cannot use them inside containers, like would that work ok? Also as I have added about four or so new countries to the CD vendors list, I'm wondering if we need another CD type tag, something like "local language" or something generic like that, instead of "russian language extensions"... Finally, do people think the books should be moved to a separate page and standardised somewhat like the CD entries? - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]

We use a thing called wml slices; it means that I see (in English) "Australia" there but our German speaking friends see "Australien".

Debian book page
G'day Everyone, I have started building a new web page which will split off the books that appear in the Debian CD vendors page into a page by themselves. I think this is a better idea as we are getting more and more entries added to the CD page. Can you all have a look at http://master.debian.org/~csmall/books.html and make comments? I'm wondering about things like what happens about books that are available at multiple stores (one or many entries) and also should we include a language field? - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Autogenerating Pics
G'day All, I now have some scripts that will auto-generate those buttons you see along the top of the Debian web page. I have gimp-perl to do this so I'm not sure if we can set it up so that it automagically generates them if something changes and if the host will allow that to happen. Jay, is there somewhere in the CVS you want to put these? - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Member IEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Gimp perl scripts for Debian buttons
G'day All,
Here are the scripts that I used to make some buttons. I'd like people to
test them before we put them onto the web pages. As requested they also
have transparent backgrounds.

Re: This gimp script

I did some changes and figured out that you need to go to gimp 1.1 to make all the Debian packages work with it, which meant some changes to the script. OK, I now don't have any special versions of software to make the icons, the packages you need are: gimp1.1 gimp1.1-nonfree libgimp-perl libgimp1.1.6 libgtk-perl There's a some sort of wierd version dependency conflict with using libgnome-perl so you cannot use that :( - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

When an Official CD is not
G'day All, A quick trawl around http://www.debian.org/distrib/vendors finds some CD entries like CD Type: Official CD + non-free + vendor additions To me this is a contradiction; Is it the Official CD or not? Sooo, we need a new term for this, what is that bit called, or do we keep it as Official CD. I was thinking of base, but that doesn't sound right. So what do you call a CD that is made up files from base and say non-free? VendorRelease is not that descriptive, perhaps VendorRelease (base + non-free + non-US) What do people think? - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

You're right it could be two or three separate CDs and it would be a valid CD. We still need a name for a non (non-free or non-US or vendor addition) CD, perhaps.. Vendor Release (main) ?

You get the data.tar.gz file, then run something in perl like:
$copyright = `tar xfOz data.tar.gz /usr/doc/$package/copyright`;
$changelog = `tar xfOz data.tar.gz /usr/doc/$package/changelog.Debian.gz`;
etc
The O means send the file to stdout.

New buttons
G'day All, I've uploaded a new debbar.pl into the CVS tree that works with the new versions of Gimp. Unfortunately, I could not use the libgimp-perl Debian package (or even build it) so I had to make it myself. I also created Polish, Turkish and Esperanto buttons, commited into the CVS in the right places. The Polish ones, due to the character set, are probably wrong. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

OK, You will find the perl script that does the magic in the webwml/english/Pics directory, it is called debbar.pl there is also a shell script makebuttons.sh which just makes all the buttons. This is of course available in the CVS. There is/was a problem with libgimp-perl deb, it was totally broken; I couldn't even build the package, so I just used the plain ordinary upstream version. You will also need gimp 1.1 (You can use the deb for that). Before complaining the script segfaults or dies in some strange way make *sure* that any other perl-based plug-in works (such as seth-spin) and gimp can see the font you are asking for. Hope this helps those who are not wierd-font-challenged like me. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I changed my own personal site http://www.eye-net.com.au/ over to pngs (I'd hardly call it a popular one though) and found that you can have all sorts of wierd problems with them. I can certainly arrange for the debbar.pl file to use pngs though I couldn't correctly get the alpha channel happening for me in gimp, which means transparency didn't work too well. At least I got the libgimp-perl deb working again. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

There is some strange dependency on libgimp-perl and guimp1.1, but I am not sure what it is. I did notice that when I last upgraded gimp 1.1 that it also upgraded the libgimp library; this is probably significant. Looks to me that they changed the way they specify layers now and there is a change of the function; sigh. > Subroutine gimp_ellipse_select redefined at > /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/Gimp.pm line 506. > debbar.pl: function/macro "indexed" not found in Gimp::Layer at > /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/Gimp/Fu.pm line 851 (DIE) If you want to, as root edit that file and change line 851 to say $layer->is_indexed instead of $layer->indexed > So could anyone please generate Polish buttons (using makebuttons.sh and > debbar.pl found in polish/Pics) and mail them to me? > Alternatively anyone could tell me how to make the script work? > > this is result of dpkg -l '*gimp*' > > ii gimp1.1 1.1.13-1 Developers' release of the GNU Image > Manipul > ii gimp1.1-nonfree 1.1.13-1 GIF and TIFF support for the GNU Image > Manip Ah yes, this is where I had problems too, 1.1.10 worked ok I should put a bug against libgimp-perl too but it is 1am and i am tired. -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I'm a little confused what this has to do with debian-www email list (which we discuss the maintenance of the website) but anyway: Debian usually handles the libraries correctly, strange it didn't. On an i386 system, the libraries are found in libjpeg62 package, so for a Sun it would be something of a similar name. You probably want to follow this discussion up on debian-sparc, we just look after the websites here. - Craig -- Craig Small VK2XLZ, PGP: AD 8D D8 63 6E BF C3 C7 47 41 B1 A2 1F 46 EC 90 Eye-Net Consulting http://www.eye-net.com.au/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIEEE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Re: the Y2K page

It hasn't been useless because it has stopped the (then) growing emails to webmaster saying "is such and such package y2k?". I believe when we started the page the aim was 1) To stop those annoying email messages by giving a central place to check status of the packages. 2) To have a y2k statement from Debian. The big problem is people not sending in updates about their packages, I asked developers to send in the status of packages they maintain and got about 5 replies. I think we have 300 developers so that's an outstanding response. There already is a link to the GNU page, a link to the 2.1r4 updates would be useful for some but totally useless for anyone using potato. Admittedly we do 1 much better than 2. I had a look at RedHat's site to see what they did, it is at http:/www.redhat.com/legal/y2k_statement.html and all looks nice and warm and fuzzy, great huh? Well, great if you run what they consider core stuff only. (I think they spelt inetd wrong too).
