  #howmany for grub 2         


Author: linbloke
Date: Jun 8, 2010 05:00

Whilst preparing grub 2 for release, could you please look at
re-implementing the #howmany configuration option that was included in
grub1. Here is a link to an IMHO excellent blog on how to implement the
function:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog/drask-180603/howmany-for-grub-2-246.../

Kind regards and thanks to all debian devs,
Josh

Thanks! Add to EXTRA_DIST and remove "source" from DIST_SUBDIRS.
Works great!

  auto-tools and debian/source/Makefile.am file         


Author: Peter S Galbraith
Date: Jun 7, 2010 22:50

Hi all,

I maintain the debian directory in the upstream sources of a package
(gri) that uses auto-tools. So far, it seems to need the files:

debian/source/Makefile.am
debian/source/Makefile.in

in order for `make dist' to work.
But lintian complains about these files.

Anyone know how to make the auto-tools include the debian directory in
the source tar ball (with `make dist') but NOT maintain any Makefile in
those directories?

Thanks,
Peter

  Bug#584013: hyperlatex: Security bugs in ghostscript         


Author: Roland Stigge
Date: Jun 1, 2010 10:50

Hi,

There are several issues with this bug:

(1) If ghostscript has a bug, maybe it should be fixed there instead of
in all gs dependant packages?

(2) Mass bug filing (esp. RC/security) is generally not a great idea,
especially if

(3) You haven't checked the individual packages ("This package depends
on ghostscript, and may be affected").

(4) Please state clearly what's wrong with the package (hyperlatex in
this case). From the other bug reports I deduce that gs calls should be
extended with "-P- -dSAFER". This should be done in the hyperlatex
source package in bin/ps2image, for the record.

bye,
Roland

Hmm, what's the risk of changing it? I guess if dependencies are allowed to
be purged when a package depending on them is removed-but-not-purged,
dbconfig-common could obliterate config files that the depending package
expects to still have around. Is that the concern?
