I mean: it is a waste of manpower to keep a package up-to-date, e.g. if stable has version 1, and unstable passes trough version 2,3,4,5, then the stable is released again, what is the motivation in putting versions 2,3,4 in debian (apart from ubuntu :). I am not _questioning_ this, I am wondering if maintainers in debian are actually worried to constantly update packages in unstable.

Compile farm for MIPS64/Loongson
Debian is still supporting MIPS64, which the Chinese Loongson chips are compartible with. And Ubuntu codes are lifted from Debian. I would like to have an unofficial repository for MIPS64/Loongson, at least in main, and if this works, I really would like to set up a project that provides unofficial MIPS64 support. This would certainly drive Ubuntu to the Chinese desktop market, where in a few years time, Loongson can become popular and now is a good time to prepare for. How can I set up a compile farm that sync packages from Ubuntu source, do automated compiling and for each package, automatically generate a report? Where can I find information about such infrastructure in Ubuntu?

xdmcp disabled so why Broadcast=true in gdm.conf in default installs?
With Ubuntu desktop installs, xdmcp is disabled by default. Why then is Broadcast listed as true (enabled)? In: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf At: Broadcast=true Should the Ubuntu developers mark this as false in new releases and should the Ubuntu desktop users modify this to false in current installs? Whether or not this Broadcast entry marked as true presents a security problem for a fresh install is another question. chooser=true is also found on default installs, bad idea? I spotted error messages with xdmcp in daemon log files, I don't use xdmcp, these error messages with xdmcp disabled should not be visible. I purged all vnc, rdesktop and similar remote client packages, no ports are open, the xdmcp error messages are highly suspect despite my best efforts. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
