Bug#563732: wmii: patch - add 9base support

alessandro.og...@scimmia.net (alessandro -oggei- ogier) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:20:02 UT

Package: wmii
Version: 3.6+debian-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi, i would like to submit a patch that rend wmii usable with 9base
currently in debian.
Two files should be fixed:
* config.mk doesn't include debian 9base path. This makes
/usr/bin/wmii9rc to fail at line 12.
I'm attaching what i think is the most sensible solution.

Bug#563224: Use run-parts

jose.calha...@tagus.ist.utl.pt (Jose Calhariz) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:20:02 UT

Yes. I will accept your patch. Don't you mind I change the patch to
my style of coding in bash.
Are you available to sponsor my next version of switchconf?

Bug#563731: NetworkStatusDevice: check if interface is UP

jida...@jidanni.org — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:10:02 UT

Package: icewm
Version: 1.3.6~pre1-1
Severity: wishlist
should be good enough to remove the little square window made by
NetworkStatusDevice="eth0 eth2 wlan0"
of ~/.icewm/preferences.
However, one must also remove its address!

Bug#563730: say how to remove IPv4 addresses

jida...@jidanni.org — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:10:02 UT

Package: net-tools
Version: 1.60-23
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man8/ifconfig.8 .gz
We see
del addr/prefixlen
Remove an IPv6 address from an interface.
However, no mention is made of how to remove an IPv4 address.

Bug#563729: Users can not rename or delete files although creating new files works

ji...@g-tec.co.at (Andreas Gredler) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:00:03 UT

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.4.0-2+b1
Severity: important
After an upgrade of a Samba PDC from etch to lenny I've found a really
strange bug. On one of the shares users were still able to create
files but not to rename or delete them again. It seems that this only
happens in conjuntion with the "force group" option! When using

Bug#563530: cvsnt: superfluous information in package description

a...@vis.ethz.ch (Andreas Tscharner) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:00:02 UT

Thank you for your patch...
Sure. I just took this sentence from the former homepage of cvsnt
I would like to if there were any. The problem is that March Hare, the
company that supports cvsnt is (of course) more interested to sell cvsnt
instead of having people just downloading it.
Thank you. I will apply it; maybe I'll find a better Homepage somewhere...

cool good news, thanks cloned.
what holds up an 1.12 or 1.13 tarball release?

to ship a snapshot :|)

Bug#563224: Use run-parts

I don't know for sure, fraid it's Debian-specific.
Maybe it could be used if present? I.e. factor the funcationality
into a function call and then wrap it in another function that runs
run-parts if available, or the function otherwise?

Bug#520970: dhcpcd doesn't spawn / get rid of pump

madd...@debian.org (martin f krafft) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:00:02 UT

Getting the PID of dhcpcd should be easy, because misc.Run is
essentially a wrapper of subprocess.Popen, and dhcpcd exec()s
dhcpcd-bin, so the PID will be in self.dhcp_object.pid
(wnettools.py:604) and can be written by wicd-daemon itself (though
a -p switch to dhcpcd would be better, obviously).
As for pump, I'd say to just ditch it. Last I checked, it was

Bug#563518: [v-admins] Exponent operator (**) doesn't work inside $(()) in dash

ava...@gmail.com (Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason) — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 21:40:02 UT

Indeed, I don't have any opinions on the matter myself. Perhaps dash
should stay a 100% POSIX compliant shell which would make /bin/sh in
Debian more interchangeable and perhaps it should adopt some limited
and common bash-isms to easy the transition from bash to dash & ensure
that more scripts can be run with dash in the future.

Bug#563726: libc6-2.10.2-3 may break utime on folders

Version: 2.10.2-3
Severity: important
Hello,
Just after upgrading libc6 from 2.10.2-2 to 2.10.2-3, utime calls fail for
folders (not for regular files). This breaks main programs such as tar, dpkg,
touch and postfix.
Here are 2 examples:
$ ls -l
