Bug#1928: usr/lib/cvs incomplete

1995-11-30 Thread Bill Mitchell
I think I figured a way to get the /usr/lib/cvs/contrib stuff installed as intended by the upstream maintainer without fiddling with all the contrib stuff in the package file by file to separate the wheat from the chaff. I'm closing this bug and will be uploading a new cvs package tonight. Please

Bug#1929: aliasinclude and forwardinclude directors missing

1995-11-30 Thread Richard Kettlewell
Package: smail Version: 3.1.29.1-13 There are no aliasinclude and forwardinclude directors in Debian's smail. This stops one from doing mailing lists. /usr/doc/smail-admin-guide/* provides examples. -- Richard Kettlewell [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.elmail.co.uk/staff/richard/

Re: Bug#1916: perl: wrong entries in Config.pm

1995-11-30 Thread Manoj Srivastava
Hi, I think that Config.pm handling should meet the following requirements: 1) The perl-5.XXX-Y package should install correctly (that's the whole point, right? ;-) 2) The user should be able to install any extensions into /usr/local by default, 3) there should be an easy way

Debugging programs with debian elf?

I got gcc-2.7.1 and all (I think) the libs installed properly, and I have successfully compiled some elf shared libraries, but gdb seems unable to debug any funcions contained in these shared libraries. I did compile the libraries with -g. Anything I'm missing? Thanks -- Rob

Bug#1931: "less" doesn't work on /proc files

1995-11-30 Thread Bruce Perens
Package: less I'm redirecting this to debian-bugs. Note that "ls" lists the length of /proc/filesystems as "0", but read() will get more than 0 data. Less doesn't know that /proc files are special in this way, and treats them as a 0-length file. You could argue that this is a bug in the semantic
