hello ,..




im trieng to understand the way to use version and debian revison
(package smser).




the orignal softwere wasn't made specialy for debian and it's version is 2.



Do you need help?X

as i understand we debian revisions when only the package is changed and
not the actual software.




as stated in

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version

5.6.12 Version


 The version number of a package. The format is:
[epoch:]upstream_version[-debian_revision]
 The three components here are:


epoch


 This is a single (generally small) unsigned integer. It may be omitted,
in which case zero is assumed. If it is omitted then the
upstream_version may not contain any colons.
 It is provided to allow mistakes in the version numbers of older
versions of a package, and also a package's previous version numbering
schemes, to be left behind.


upstream_version


 This is the main part of the version number. It is usually the version
number of the original ("upstream") package from which the .deb file has
been made, if this is applicable. Usually this will be in the same
format as that specified by the upstream author(s); however, it may need
to be reformatted to fit into the package management system's format and
comparison scheme.


 The comparison behavior of the package management system with respect
to the upstream_version is described below. The upstream_version portion
of the version number is mandatory.


 The upstream_version may contain only alphanumerics[33] and the
characters . + - : (full stop, plus, hyphen, colon) and should start
with a digit. If there is no debian_revision then hyphens are not
allowed; if there is no epoch then colons are not allowed.
debian_revision


 This part of the version number specifies the version of the Debian
package based on the upstream version. It may contain only alphanumerics
and the characters + and . (plus and full stop) and is compared in the
same way as the upstream_version is.


 It is optional; if it isn't present then the upstream_version may not
contain a hyphen. This format represents the case where a piece of
software was written specifically to be turned into a Debian package,
and so there is only one "debianisation" of it and therefore no revision
indication is required.


 It is conventional to restart the debian_revision at 1 each time the
upstream_version is increased.


 The package management system will break the version number apart at
the last hyphen in the string (if there is one) to determine the
upstream_version and debian_revision. The absence of a debian_revision
compares earlier than the presence of one (but note that the
debian_revision is the least significant part of the version number).
 The upstream_version and debian_revision parts are compared by the
package management system using the same algorithm:
 The strings are compared from left to right.
 First the initial part of each string consisting entirely of non-digit
characters is determined. These two parts (one of which may be empty)
are compared lexically. If a difference is found it is returned. The
lexical comparison is a comparison of ASCII values modified so that all
the letters sort earlier than all the non-letters.
 Then the initial part of the remainder of each string which consists
entirely of digit characters is determined. The numerical values of
these two parts are compared, and any difference found is returned as
the result of the comparison. For these purposes an empty string (which
can only occur at the end of one or both version strings being compared)
counts as zero.


 These two steps (comparing and removing initial non-digit strings and
initial digit strings) are repeated until a difference is found or both
strings are exhausted.


 Note that the purpose of epochs is to allow us to leave behind mistakes
in version numbering, and to cope with situations where the version
numbering scheme changes. It is not intended to cope with version
numbers containing strings of letters which the package management
system cannot interpret (such as ALPHA or pre-), or with silly orderings
(the author of this manual has heard of a package whose versions went
1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1, 2.1, 2.2, 2 and so forth).



so as i under stand from the text the version should be :
upstreasm_version-debian_version



#6 is the current debian_revison number


so in control file :


Version: 2-6



and in a changelog


package name (2-6) ;....



but when i do that i get the error (from lintian):


W: smser source: native-package-with-dash-version
N:
N:   Native packaging should only be used if a piece of software was

Although you don't seem to refer to a notebook computer, this site may
be of some help:
http://www.linuxpowertop.org/

On notebook computers with no load I see temperatures (with the command
acpi -V) as follows:
pentium 4m     1.9 GHz: 45 deg C
pentium-m      2 GHz  : 41 deg C
turion64 MT-40 2.2 GHz: 50 deg C

Under load these cpus can heat up far above 60 deg C.

Okay, here's one way to get it to work without changing the PDF file.

Create a file named ~/.xpdfrc with these contents:

include /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc
fontDir /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-barcod25/

Warning, the .xpdfrc file must be properly set up or *no fonts* will be 
rendered in xpdf; every character counts.

I did this as a regular user. You might want to make this global by 
adding the appropriate fontDir specification to the /etc/xpdf/xpdfrc. 
Back up the old version first; a single mistake in that file could 
render xpdf useless.

I hope this helps.

---------
P.S.
A potentially even better way to handle this is noted in /etc/xpdf/includes.

Whatever you think about the way it does things, Microsoft is one of
the most successful companies that the world has ever seen.  Business
world-wide has a truly enormous investment in Microsoft products and
in the vast majority of business settings you can hardly avoid dealing
with them.

Your evaluation of a "crap business model" tells me that you know
nothing about business, and you won't get far with businesses if you
start by telling them that they invested in crap.  In your post you
mention 'corporate network'; it might not be what you want to do, but
it will help a lot if you first figure out what businesses do and how
they do it.  Only then will you be more than accidentally useful to a
business.  If you learn well, you might even succeed in one yourself.
There's a lot more to it than the tools and the products.

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read.  Then read some more.
Learn how to write English properly.

Build your own computers from components.  Learn about drivers for the
various bits of hardware.  Learn the differences between BSD and SystemV.
Learn about packet filtering.  Learn about 'bash' and 'vi'.  Personally
I don't use vi unless it's unavoidable, but it's all you'll have on many
a system, so you need to be able to cope.  Learn how to get a bash prompt
on a Windows box and an Explorer window on a Linux box - both remotely.
Look at system logs.  Play around with SAMBA, CUPS and sharing printers.
Learn how to use a number of email and Web clients, office productivity
tools like word processors and spreadsheets.  Get to know about viruses
and all sorts of other malware.  Become a security expert.

Read as much as you can, particularly "The C Programming Language", by
Brian W Kernighan and Dennis M Ritchie, and all the O'Reilly books you
can get your hands on: http://www.oreilly.com/store/complete.html

Here's a selection from our bookshelf.  Even though we have quite a
few on machine-readable media, and some are available free online, my
wife and I have two printed copies of several of them.  That's great
because we can read them by candle light if there's a power cut, and
somehow my tired old eyes find a book much easier than the screen.

"Learning the bash Shell"
"Learning the vi Editor"
"Learning GNU Emacs"
"Essential System Administration"
"TCP/IP Network Administration"
"IP Routing"
"DNS and BIND"
"Network Troubleshooting Tools"
"Sendmail"
"Managing & Using MySQL"
"Programming Perl"

I've read all these from cover to cover - some twice, that last one
even three times - and yet still find myself going back to them.

Even thoguh I haven't even mentioned Apache just these few books will
set you back quite a few ($currency_unit)s, so your friends and family
need never again wonder what to buy for your birthday.  You'll have
had several more of those before you're anything remotely resembling
an experienced system administrator.  Incidentally I have absolutely
no affiliation with O'Reilly, and I can't remember the last time that
my business sold a book.  I've found that not all O'Reilly books are
really _great_ value, but I always learn something useful from them -
definitely more than enough to cover the cost.

> Is debian a good distro to learn if I want to one day run a
> corporate network?

No.  Most of the Linux/FreeBSD/OSX/Solaris/Whatever products have much
in common and once you're familiar wiith one you'll be fairly familiar
with the others, but you'll probably find the differences frustrating.
Slackware is commonly percieved to be a distribution used by those who
understand the internals and is probably a good one to learn with, but
from that point of view there are others, such as Linux From Scratch,
which might be better.  They may need more work.  RedHat Enterprise is
probably the top dog in the serious corporate environment.  Debian is
great if you want the easy life and a lot of packages.  But it does
take control, and it hides a lot of what's going on behind the GUI and
the automation.  Use something that doesn't by default start up a GUI.
Compile and install everything from the sources, and configure it all
yourself.  This is what the people producing the distributions do, and
most of them ultimately work with the same sources.  Until you're very
comfortable rolling your own packages from sources, avoid apt, dpkg,
rpm, swaret, yum and all the other package managers.  Google to find
out what went wrong.  Read "How to ask questions the smart way" and
join a few mailing lists.  I don't mean to imply that your post was
especially badly worded but it could have been, er, more professional.
If you want to be useful in a corporate setting you will need to work
on that.  And you'll need to look comfortable wearing a suit, even if
you've cycled in.

Oh, yes.  Don't forget to read as much as you can.

There are plenty of messages in this thread to make one think that it is 
possible to convert from Debian to Ubuntu and vice versa, but let me point 
out one thing that many have overlooked.

Since Ubuntu uses sudo for everything, when using programs that require root 
access expect the user password, not the root one.  So if you enable the root 
account, you might think, OK, I need to use the root password here (after all 
early versions of Ubuntu actually asked for the root password) but no, it 
still wants the user password (the first user, who is defined in the sudoers 
file)

AFAIK, gksu and kdesu both act this way, as does the "administrator mode" in 
the GUI apps.   From what I understand, these utilities are hacked to use 
sudo.

Do yourself a favor and just backup /home and install Debian, then slowly but 
surely copy the files from the backup to the new /home.  Be careful though, 
different versions of some programs have different configurations, and can 
cause problems if you're using a config file for a different version of a 
program.

Joe

oo2.2 is getting transfered into lenny from unstable today I think.  You

Yea I don't know why the package is broken.  I am guessing this package 
gets neglected because it is non-free.  Alot of people just run the 
lastest driver from nvidia.com.  I know it sucks to use non-debian 
packages but the nvidia driver installs very easily.  But every time 
xorg or the kernel gets updated you will have to reinstall the nvidia 
driver.  Here is the driver for your card: 
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.11.html
If you want to install it just read all the install instructions here: 
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/100.14.11/README/index.html

I had this problem with an earlier version of exim4 and was advised to 
change the line

    smtp_accept_queue_per_connection  = *

to

    smtp_accept_queue_per_connection  = 0

in the file /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template.  There is no longer such a 
line in exim4.conf.template.

Is there a new solution to this problem?

Thanks all,

 I downloaded iceape-browser_1.0.10~pre070720-0etch3_i386.deb
 and installed it manually ( i did not want to upgrade whole of my
system).

 Now iceape shows 1.0.9 version.

Hi all-

I have a new Core 2 Duo Mac Mini, and have been trying to install 
Debian Lenny on an external FireWire disk via the i386 netinst CD of 
01sept2007.

I waded through the older install documentation around the web that 
seems geared to earlier machines, have what I think is a satisfactory 
disk partition (ie MBR), but now I'm hung at boot with Grub giving me a 
"Hard Disk Error". My reading of this error is that it involves a disk 
geometry problem.

I've now checked the geometry prior to installing Grub via netinst and 
sfdisk reports:

Kernel's idea (-g): 28615 64 32
Disk geometry (-G): 3648 255 63

After grub's installed, the "geometry" command:

geometry (hd1)

returns 3648 255 63, but I still get my "Hard Disk Error" on boot.

Any thoughts on how to resolve this? I'd be happy to supply more info; 
I know I've been brief here...

Thanks! Charles Turner
