Bug#709004: www.debian.org: Please mention win32-loader on "Getting Debian" webpage

Holger Wansing — 2013-05-20T07:50:40

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hey guys,

I have just installed Wheezy on my old Thinkpad, and it went perfectly fine!
Thanks for that!
In preparation for that installation, it came to my mind, that I could try
installing via win32-loader, since I had Windows XP running on that machine.
So I downloaded it from the web and the installation worked perfectly,
as said above.

But I noticed, that this way of installing Debian is not mentioned on
the "Getting Debian" page or on 
http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/debian-installer/.
Wouldn't this be good, to mention as another way of installing Debian?

I could prepare a patch, if desired.

Cheers
Holger

Thanks for the notice.

The generation of the file containing, for all archs, the reverse map file ->
package, is very long for a reason I don't understand for the moment.

In detail, sort -T seems to block while there are both enough ram and disk to
handle that.

As this never ends, the db file generated from the sort -T output is never
considered finished, and never put in place for packages.d.o operation. 

I'll copy the files from picconi and try to reproduce that at home..

wheezy-backports not on p.d.o? [was: Re: Libreoffice4 in wheezy? Several questions]

No, but we can ask the people taking care of it ;)

Kind regards,

Roland Stigge — 2013-05-19T12:05:03

Hi,

the search form at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages, when using
the "packages that contain files named like this" option, works for
stable and testing, but not for unstable.

Thanks,

Roland

Monitor Goes to Sleep

Paul Jordan — 2013-05-18T22:28:51

Hi,
I decided to install Debian 6.0.7 on my AMD64 old Compact Presario.  The
installation process went well (as far as I know) until it was time to
start up my new system.  As it was scrolling through the set-up after the
GRUB menu it aborted and then the monitor went to sleep.  That was as far
as I have been able to go. I have re-installed it a few times with the same
problem occurring each time.  I am new to debian and unfamiliar with the
terminology...Just a beginner. Does anyone know a fix for this?
Paul

Severity: minor

libtest-simple-perl PTS URL: http://packages.qa.debian.org/libt/libtest-simple-perl.html

libtest-simple-perl PTS page have two links to VCS:

Thanks for the clarification, I wasn't aware of this.


I like the idea. There are probably enough designers on the
debian-desktop list, but we would need someone with the time to
co-ordinate them and put the results on the website.

Hi,

Thanks for bringing back the topic,

Le 15/05/2013 20:52, Don Armstrong a écrit :


That would be: http://www.debian.org/devel/website/translating


There are needed scripts in the root directory, e.g. check_trans.pl,
check_desc_trans.pl, stattrans.pl, etc.

Some Perl modules, at least in Perl/Local, also need to be written or
adapted (some bits had be written to work with Subversion, so there
might already be some VCS-agnostic scripts relying on the accurate
modules, but that was some time ago, and I have no idea who worked on that).

[ I don’t have a long history of webwml contributions, and hope other
people will be able to fill the gap. ]

Current Roadblocks to transitioning from CVS to git

Don Armstrong — 2013-05-16T00:52:23

I'd like to get a better understanding of what needs to be done for us
to switch away from CVS to git.

1. Can someone please point me at a document which describes the current
translator workflow? [I'd basically like to know which scripts
absolutely have to be modified to work with git immediately, and which
it would be nice to have.]

2. What other areas have scripts that need to be modified in order to
show that they can work with git?

Assuming that no one has any specific objections, I'd like to codify
this all into a serious of bugs so that the progress to switching to git
can be tracked and we/I know what actually needs to be done.

[In a previous message to the list,[1] I indicated a full git checkout
would be about 500M, so we don't need to consider submodules.]

I'm especially interested in this because I plan on totally revamping
the BTS documentation, and I'd like to do that with the preservation of
history; I'm certain that there are other sections of the website which
would also benefit from gi
