Particularly if they happened to have a fully unpacked and configured
kernel source tree in /usr/src/linux .

That seems reasonable. I guess I had just sort of always treated
/usr/src/ as if it was local, even though I probably shouldn't have.

I recently installed the new libc6 experiental pacakges which also
wants you to install kernel-headers. The problem is that
kernel-headers thinks it "owns" /usr/src/linux. For users using the
kernel-package (or whatvever) to build their own kernels, this may be

Hi,
After some years in the Debian project, although not so active as I
wished, I do not have the time and the motivation anymore to maintain
my packages:

Is anyone working on a new release? I might take a look at it and do a
non-maintainer release unless someone else is willing.

I am wondering, if there is a bo version of Xfree86 3.3.1? This seems extremly
important to me, since so many new (low end) computers come with ATI 3D
charger graphics adapter, which requires 3.3.1.
I think Debian should have a stable version, which installs smooth on a new
computer. Is there

The apache 1.3 package doesn't seem to have the mod_auth_dbm

After talking with some *BSD-using friends, I decided this might be an
interesting project...basically, it would read the available file (yes, I
know this is frowned upon, but this seems to be the best way to get some
of this stuff) and construct a ports tree, similar to /usr/ports in the

Hi,
wavelet transformation can be effectively used for lossy compression
of measurement/process data. This gets more and more important because
of modern quality management systems. Data compression is usually very
complicated. While I was working on the denoising of EDX-scans with

Doesn't setting byte-compile-compatibility help with this, or is it
too much of a performance loss?

linux 1.x/libc4 had writev implemented in libc, with no kernel
support. This implementation was, to put it kindly, "marginal". I
think libc5 added code to check if you had SYS_writev and use it, if
not, fall back to the old code. I'm not sure which kernel actually
added the writev syscall, nor a
