NMU sysklogd and/or switch to different system logger?

2004-03-29 Thread Nathanael Nerode
sysklogd has two annoyingly-long-open patched RC bugs. (syslog-ng, for example, doesn't.) sysklogd's maintainer (Martin Schulze) is presumably too busy to deal with it, or something. Either sysklogd should be NMUed, or a different syslog package should be the default for sarge. Thoughts? -- Ma

Strongly advise preventing new hotplug from getting into 'sarge' yet

2004-03-31 Thread Nathanael Nerode
I filed bug 241225 to prevent new hotplug from going into sarge until the ALSA issue is resolved. New hotplug currently breaks alsa for basically everyone using kernel 2.6. This is a nasty regression, regardless of whose "fault" it is, and it seems extremely inappropriate to allow this regression
