- -Welcome to the exciting world of - -
- -Debian GNU/Linux! - -
- -

-Intro - - - - -

- -

-This is one disc in a set containing the the -Debian GNU/Linux -distribution. Debian is a -very extensive collection of software. But it is more. It is a complete -Operating System (OS) for your computer. And it is -free -(as in "freedom"). -

-An operating system is the set of basic programs -and utilities that make your computer run. At the core of an operating -system is the kernel. The kernel is the most fundamental program on the -computer, which does all the basic housekeeping and lets you start other -programs. -Debian is kernel independent. It currently uses the -Linux kernel but work is -in progress to provide Debian for other kernels, using -the Hurd. -Most of the basic operating system tools -come from the GNU project; hence the name -GNU/Linux. -

- -Debian is available for various kinds of computers -("architectures"), like -"IBM-compatible" PCs (i386), -Compaq's Alpha, -Sun's Sparc, -Motorola/IBM's PowerPC, and (Strong)ARM processors. -Check the ports page - - - -for more information. -

- -About This Disc - - - - -

- -

-This disc is labeled -

-  - DEBIAN_NAME DEBIAN_DATE - -

- -which means that this disc is number 1 of a set of 1 discs. - -It contains programs ("binaries") for `DEBIAN_ARCHITECTURE' computers. - - - - - -

-The programs on the Binary discs are ordered by popularity. The Binary-1 disc -contains the most popular programs and the installation tools; it is possible -to install and run Debian with only the Binary-1 disc. The other discs, up to -Binary-1, contain mostly special-interest programs. -

- -The Release Notes for "etch" are available on the Debian web -site. - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

- -Installing - - - - -

- -

- - - Because Debian is a complete Operating System, the installation procedure - may seem a bit unusual. You can install Debian GNU/Linux either - alongside your current OS, or as the only OS on your computer. - -

- An Installation Guide for this disc is available from - the Debian web site. -

- Programs and other files that are needed for the installation can be found on - this disc under - DEBIAN_TOOLS - - - -

- For the impatient ones: - - - - you can start the installation program easily by booting off this disc. - Note that not all (esp. older) systems support this. -

- - - - You can examine the -

-   - /install - -

- directory; you might be able to start the installation system directly - from there. - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

- -Last-Minute Notes - - - - -

- -

-

    - - - - - - - - - -
  • This is an official release of the Debian system. Please report any -bugs you find in the Debian Bug Tracking System; details at bugs.debian.org. -
  • If you're reporting bugs against this disc or the installation -system, please also mention the version of this disc; this can be -found in the file /.disk/info. - - -

- - Using Apt - - - - -

- -

- After installing or upgrading, Debian's packaging system can use CDs, DVDs, - local collections, or networked servers (FTP, HTTP) to automatically - install software from (.deb packages). This is done - preferably with the `apt' and `aptitude' programs. - -

- - You can install packages from the commandline using - apt-get. For example, if you want to install the packages - `commprog' and `maxgame', you can give the command -

-   - apt-get install commprog maxgame - -

- Note that you don't have to enter the complete path, or the - `.deb' extension. `Apt' will figure this out itself. -

- Or use aptitude for a full screen interactive selection of available - Debian packages. - - - - - - - - - -

- -CD/DVD Manufacturers - - - - -

- -

-You are completely free to manufacture and re-distribute CDs/DVDs of the -Debian GNU/Linux Operating System, like this one. There is no charge from -us (but of course donations are always welcome). - -

- -For all needed information and contact addresses, please refer to -

-  - http://www.debian.org/CD/ - - - - - - - -

- -More Information - - - - -

- -

- - -There is much more information present on this disc. Besides the already -mentioned installation and upgrading procedures, this is the most -interesting:

-Also on the Internet are many resources. To name a few: -

Debian worldwide mirror sites

-

Debian is distributed (mirrored) on hundreds of -servers on the Internet. Using a nearby server will probably speed up your -download, and also reduce the load on our central servers and on the -Internet as a whole. - -

Debian mirrors can be primary and secondary. The definitions are as follows: - -

- A primary mirror site has good bandwidth, is available 24 hours a day, - and has an easy to remember name of the form ftp.<country>.debian.org. -
- Additionally, most of them are updated automatically after updates to the - Debian archive. The Debian archive on those sites is normally available - using both FTP and HTTP protocols. - -
-
- A secondary mirror site may have restrictions on what they mirror (due to - space restrictions). Just because a site is secondary doesn't necessarily - mean it'll be any slower or less up to date than a primary site. - -
-

Use the site closest to you for the fastest downloads possible whether it is - -a primary or secondary site. The program - -netselect can be used to -determine the site with the least latency; use a download program such as - - -wget or - -rsync for determining the site with the most throughput. -Note that geographic proximity often isn't the most important factor for -determining which machine will serve you best. - -

The authoritative copy of the following list can always be found at: - http://www.debian.org/mirror/list.
-If you know of any mirrors that are missing from this list, -please have the site maintainer fill out the form at: - http://www.debian.org/mirror/submit.
-Everything else you want to know about Debian mirrors: - http://www.debian.org/mirror/.

Using a nearby server will probably speed up your -download, and also reduce the load on our central servers and on the -Internet as a whole. - -Debian mirrors can be primary and secondary. The definitions are as follows: - - A primary mirror site has good bandwidth, is available 24 hours a day, - and has an easy to remember name of the form ftp..debian.org. - Additionally, most of them are updated automatically after updates to the - Debian archive. The Debian archive on those sites is normally available - using both FTP and HTTP protocols. - - A secondary mirror site may have restrictions on what they mirror (due to - space restrictions). Just because a site is secondary doesn't necessarily - mean it'll be any slower or less up to date than a primary site. - -Use the site closest to you for the fastest downloads possible whether it is -a primary or secondary site. The program `netselect' can be used to -determine the site with the least latency; use a download program such as -`wget' or `rsync' for determining the site with the most throughput. -Note that geographic proximity often isn't the most important factor for -determining which machine will serve you best. - -The authoritative copy of the following list can always be found at: - http://www.debian.org/mirror/list -If you know of any mirrors that are missing from this list, -please have the site maintainer fill out the form at: -

* More Information - - - Welcome to the exciting world of - Debian GNU/Linux! - -Intro -===== - - This is one disc in a set containing the the Debian GNU/Linux - distribution. Debian is a very extensive collection of software. But - it is more. It is a complete Operating System (OS) for your computer. - And it is free (as in "freedom"). - - An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that - make your computer run. At the core of an operating system is the - kernel. The kernel is the most fundamental program on the computer, - which does all the basic housekeeping and lets you start other - programs. Debian is kernel independent. It currently uses the Linux - kernel but work is in progress to provide Debian for other kernels, - using the Hurd. Most of the basic operating system tools come from the - GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux. - - Debian is available for various kinds of computers ("architectures"), - like "IBM-compatible" PCs (i386), Compaq's Alpha, Sun's Sparc, - Motorola/IBM's PowerPC, and (Strong)ARM processors. Check the ports - page (http://www.debian.org/ports) for more information. - - Read more at - - http://www.debian.org/intro/about - - -About This Disc -============= - - This disc is labeled - - DEBIAN_NAME - DEBIAN_DATE - - which means that this disc is number 1 of a set of 1 discs. It - contains programs ("binaries") for `DEBIAN_ARCHITECTURE' computers. - - The programs on the Binary discs are ordered by popularity. The - Binary-1 disc contains the most popular programs and the installation - tools; it is possible to install and run Debian with only the Binary-1 - disc. The other discs, up to Binary-1, contain mostly - special-interest programs. - - The Release Notes for "etch" are available on the Debian web site. - - -Installing -========== - - Because Debian is a complete Operating System, the installation - procedure may seem a bit unusual. You can install Debian GNU/Linux - either alongside your current OS, or as the only OS on your computer. - - An Installation Guide for this disc is available from the Debian web - site. - - Programs and other files that are needed for the installation can be - found on this disc under - - DEBIAN_TOOLS - - For the impatient ones: you can start the installation program easily - by booting off this disc. Note that not all (esp. older) systems - support this. - - You can examine the - - /install - - directory; you might be able to start the installation system directly - from there. - - -Last-Minute Notes -================= - - * This is an official release of the Debian system. Please report - any bugs you find in the Debian Bug Tracking System; details at - [1]bugs.debian.org. - * If you're reporting bugs against this disc or the installation - system, please also mention the version of this disc; this can be - found in the file /.disk/info. - - - -Using Apt -============= - - After installing or upgrading, Debian's packaging system can use CDs, - DVDs, local collections, or networked servers (FTP, HTTP) to - automatically install software from (.deb packages). This is done - preferably with the `apt' and `aptitude' programs. - - You can install packages from the commandline using apt-get. For - example, if you want to install the packages `commprog' and `maxgame', - you can give the command - - apt-get install commprog maxgame - - Note that you don't have to enter the complete path, or the `.deb' - extension. `Apt' will figure this out itself. - - Or use aptitude for a full screen interactive selection of available - Debian packages. - - -CD/DVD Manufacturers -================ - - You are completely free to manufacture and re-distribute CDs/DVDs of - the Debian GNU/Linux Operating System, like this one. There is no - charge from us (but of course donations are always welcome). - - For all needed information and contact addresses, please refer to - - http://www.debian.org/CD/ - - -More Information -================ - - There is much more information present on this disc.

-The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ -
Chapter 1 - Definitions and overview -

- -
- -

1.1 What is this FAQ?

- -

-This document gives frequently asked questions (with their answers!) about the -Debian distribution (Debian GNU/Linux and others) and about the Debian project. -If applicable, pointers to other documentation will be given: we won't quote -large parts of external documentation in this document. You'll find out that -some answers assume some knowledge of Unix-like operating systems. We'll try -to assume as little prior knowledge as possible: answers to general beginners -questions will be kept simple. -

- -

-If you can't find what you're looking for in this FAQ, be sure to check out What other documentation exists on and -for a Debian system?, Section 11.1. If even that doesn't help, refer to Feedback, Section 15.2. -

- -
- -

1.2 What is Debian GNU/Linux?

- -

-Debian GNU/Linux is a particular distribution of the Linux operating -system, and numerous packages that run on it. -

- -

-In principle, users could obtain the Linux kernel via the Internet or from -elsewhere, and compile it themselves. They could then obtain source code for -many applications in the same way, compile the programs, then install them into -their systems. For complicated programs, this process can be not only -time-consuming but error-prone. To avoid it, users often choose to obtain the -operating system and the application packages from one of the Linux -distributors. What distinguishes the various Linux distributors are the -software, protocols, and practices they use for packaging, installing, and -tracking applications packages on users' systems, combined with installation -and maintenance tools, documentation, and other services. -

- -

-Debian GNU/Linux is the result of a volunteer effort to create a free, -high-quality Unix-compatible operating system, complete with a suite of -applications. The idea of a free Unix-like system originates from the GNU -project, and many of the applications that make Debian GNU/Linux so useful were -developed by the GNU project. -

- -

-For Debian, free has the GNUish meaning (see the Debian Free Software -Guidelines). When we speak of free software, we are referring to -freedom, not price. Free software means that you have the freedom to -distribute copies of free software, that you receive source code or can get it -if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new -free programs; and that you know you can do these things. -

- -

-The Debian Project was created by Ian Murdock in 1993, initially under the -sponsorship of the Free Software Foundation's GNU project. Today, Debian's -developers think of it as a direct descendent of the GNU project. -

- -

-Debian GNU/Linux is: -

- - - - -

-Although Debian GNU/Linux itself is free software, it is a base upon which -value-added Linux distributions can be built. By providing a reliable, -full-featured base system, Debian provides Linux users with increased -compatibility, and allows Linux distribution creators to eliminate duplication -of effort and focus on the things that make their distribution special. See I am making a special Linux -distribution for a "vertical market". Can I use Debian GNU/Linux for -the guts of a Linux system and add my own applications on top of it?, Section -13.3 for more information. -

- -
- -

1.3 OK, now I know what Debian is... what is Linux?!

- -

-In short, Linux is the kernel of a Unix-like operating system. It was -originally designed for 386 (and better) PCs; today Linux also runs on a dozen -of other systems. Linux is written by Linus Torvalds and many computer -scientists around the world. -

- -

-Besides its kernel, a "Linux" system usually has: -

- - - -

-The combination of the Linux kernel, the file system, the GNU and FSF -utilities, and the other utilities are designed to achieve compliance with the -POSIX (IEEE 1003.1) standard; see How -source code compatible is Debian with other Unix systems?, Section 3.3. -

- -

-For more information about Linux, see Michael K. Johnson's Linux Information -Sheet and Meta-FAQ. -

- -
- -

1.4 Does Debian just do GNU/Linux?

- -

-Currently, Debian is only available for Linux, but with Debian GNU/Hurd and -Debian on BSD kernels, we have started to offer non-Linux-based OSes as a -development, server and desktop platform, too. However, these non-linux ports -are not officially released yet. -

- -

-The oldest porting effort is Debian GNU/Hurd. -

- -

-The Hurd is a set of servers running on top of the GNU Mach microkernel. -Together they build the base for the GNU operating system. -

- -

-Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/ -for more information about the GNU/Hurd in general, and http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/ -for more information about Debian GNU/Hurd. -

- -

-A second effort is the port to a BSD kernel. People are working with both the -NetBSD and the FreeBSD kernels. -

- -

-See http://www.debian.org/ports/#nonlinux -for more information about these non-linux ports. -

- -
- -

1.5 What is the difference between Debian GNU/Linux and other Linux distributions? Why should I choose Debian over some other distribution?

- -

-These key features distinguish Debian from other Linux distributions: -

-
-
Freedom:
-
-

-As stated in the Debian -Social Contract, Debian will remain 100% free. Debian is very -strict about shipping truly free software. The guidelines used to determine if -a work is "free" are provided in The Debian Free -Software. -

-
-
-
-
The Debian package maintenance system:
-
-

-The entire system, or any individual component of it, can be upgraded in place -without reformatting, without losing custom configuration files, and (in most -cases) without rebooting the system. Most Linux distributions available today -have some kind of package maintenance system; the Debian package maintenance -system is unique and particularly robust (see Basics of the Debian package management system, -Chapter 6). -

-
-
-
Open development:
-
-

-Whereas other Linux distributions are developed by individuals, small, closed -groups, or commercial vendors, Debian is the only major Linux distribution that -is being developed cooperatively by many individuals through the Internet, in -the same spirit as Linux and other free software. -

- -

-More than 1950 volunteer package maintainers are working on over 18347 packages -and improving Debian GNU/Linux. The Debian developers contribute to the -project not by writing new applications (in most cases), but by packaging -existing software according to the standards of the project, by communicating -bug reports to upstream developers, and by providing user support. See also -additional information on how to become a contributor in How can I become a Debian software -developer?, Section 12.1. -

-
-
-
-
The Universal Operating System:
-
-

-Debian comes with more than -18347 packages and runs on 10 architectures. This is far -more than is available for any other GNU/Linux distribution. See What types of applications and development -software are available for Debian GNU/Linux?, Section 4.1 for an overview -of the provided software and see On what -hardware architectures/systems does Debian GNU/Linux run?, Section 3.1 for -a description of the supported hardware platforms. -

-
-
-
-
The Bug Tracking System:
-
-

-The geographical dispersion of the Debian developers required sophisticated -tools and quick communication of bugs and bug-fixes to accelerate the -development of the system. Users are encouraged to send bugs in a formal -style, which are quickly accessible by WWW archives or via e-mail. See -additional information in this FAQ on the management of the bug log in Are there logs of known bugs?, Section -11.4. -

-
-
-
-
The Debian Policy:
-
-

-Debian has an extensive specification of our standards of quality, the Debian -Policy. This document defines the qualities and standards to which we hold -Debian packages. -

-
-
- -

-For additional information about this, please see our web page about reasons to choose -Debian. -

- -
- -

1.6 How does the Debian project fit in or compare with the Free Software Foundation's GNU project?

- -

-The Debian system builds on the ideals of free software first championed by the -Free Software Foundation and in -particular by Richard -Stallman. FSF's powerful system development tools, utilities, and -applications are also a key part of the Debian system. -

- -

-The Debian Project is a separate entity from the FSF, however we communicate -regularly and cooperate on various projects. The FSF explicitly requested that -we call our system "Debian GNU/Linux", and we are happy to comply -with that request. -

- -

-The FSF's long-standing objective is to develop a new operating system called -GNU, based on Hurd. Debian is working -with FSF on this system, called Debian GNU/Hurd. -

- -
- -

1.7 How does one pronounce Debian and what does this word mean?

- -

-The project name is pronounced Deb'-ee-en, with a short e in Deb, and emphasis -on the first syllable. This word is a contraction of the names of Debra and -Ian Murdock, who founded the project. (Dictionaries seem to offer some -ambiguity in the pronunciation of Ian (!), but Ian prefers ee'-en.) -

-The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ -
Chapter 3 - Compatibility issues -

- -
- -

3.1 On what hardware architectures/systems does Debian GNU/Linux run?

- -

-Debian GNU/Linux includes complete source-code for all of the included -programs, so it should work on all systems which are supported by the Linux -kernel; see the Linux -FAQ for details. -

- -

-The current Debian GNU/Linux release, 4.0, contains a complete, binary -distribution for the following architectures: -

- -

-i386: this covers PCs based on Intel and compatible processors, -including Intel's 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II (both Klamath and -Celeron), and Pentium III, and most compatible processors by AMD, Cyrix and -others. -

- -

-m68k: this covers Amigas and ATARIs having a Motorola 680x0 processor -for x>=2; with MMU. -

- -

-alpha: Compaq/Digital's Alpha systems. -

- -

-sparc: this covers Sun's SPARC and most UltraSPARC systems. -

- -

-powerpc: this covers some IBM/Motorola PowerPC machines, including -CHRP, PowerMac and PReP machines. -

- -

-arm: ARM and StrongARM machines. -

- -

-mips: SGI's big-endian MIPS systems, Indy and Indigo2; -mipsel: little-endian MIPS machines, Digital DECstations. -

- -

-hppa: Hewlett-Packard's PA-RISC machines (712, C3000, L2000, A500). -

- -

-ia64: Intel IA-64 ("Itanium") computers. -

- -

-s390: IBM S/390 mainframe systems. -

- -

-The development of binary distributions of Debian for Sparc64 (UltraSPARC -native) architectures is currently underway. -

- -

-For further information on booting, partitioning your drive, enabling PCMCIA -(PC Card) devices and similar issues please follow the instructions given in -the Installation Manual, which is available from our WWW site at http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual. -

- -
- -

3.2 How compatible is Debian with other distributions of Linux?

- -

-Debian developers communicate with other Linux distribution creators in an -effort to maintain binary compatibility across Linux distributions. Most -commercial Linux products run as well under Debian as they do on the system -upon which they were built. -

- -

-Debian GNU/Linux adheres to the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy -Standard. However, there is room for interpretation in some of the -rules within this standard, so there may be slight differences between a Debian -system and other Linux systems. -

- -

-Debian GNU/Linux supports software developed for the Linux Standard Base. The LSB is a -specification for allowing the same binary package to be used on multiple -distributions. Packages for the Debian Etch release must not conflict with -requirements of the LSB, v1.3. As of this writing, Debian GNU/Linux is not -formally LSB-certified. However, some Debian derived distributions are. -Discussion and coordination of efforts towards ensuring Debian meets the -requirements of the Linux Standard Base is taking place on the debian-lsb mailing list. -

- -
- -

3.3 How source code compatible is Debian with other Unix systems?

- -

-For most applications Linux source code is compatible with other Unix systems. -It supports almost everything that is available in System V Unix systems and -the free and commercial BSD-derived systems. However in the Unix business such -claim has nearly no value because there is no way to prove it. In the software -development area complete compatibility is required instead of compatibility in -"about most" cases. So years ago the need for standards arose, and -nowadays POSIX.1 (IEEE Standard 1003.1-1990) is one of the major standards for -source code compatibility in Unix-like operating systems. -

- -

-Linux is intended to adhere to POSIX.1, but the POSIX standards cost real money -and the POSIX.1 (and FIPS 151-2) certification is quite expensive; this made it -more difficult for the Linux developers to work on complete POSIX conformance. -The certification costs make it unlikely that Debian will get an official -conformance certification even if it completely passed the validation suite. -(The validation suite is now freely available, so it is expected that more -people will work on POSIX.1 issues.) -

- -

-Unifix GmbH (Braunschweig, Germany) developed a Linux system that has been -certified to conform to FIPS 151-2 (a superset of POSIX.1). This technology -was available in Unifix' own distribution called Unifix Linux 2.0 and in -Lasermoon's Linux-FT. -

- -
- -

3.4 Can I use Debian packages (".deb" files) on my Red Hat/Slackware/... Linux system? Can I use Red Hat packages (".rpm" files) on my Debian GNU/Linux system?

- -

-Different Linux distributions use different package formats and different -package management programs. -

-
-
You probably can:
-
-

-A program to unpack a Debian package onto a Linux host that is been built from -a `foreign' distribution is available, and will generally work, in the sense -that files will be unpacked. The converse is probably also true, that is, a -program to unpack a Red Hat or Slackware package on a host that is based on -Debian GNU/Linux will probably succeed in unpacking the package and placing -most files in their intended directories. This is largely a consequence of the -existence (and broad adherence to) the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. -The Alien package -is used to convert between different package formats. -

-
-
-
-
You probably do not want to:
-
-

-Most package managers write administrative files when they are used to unpack -an archive. These administrative files are generally not standardized. -Therefore, the effect of unpacking a Debian package on a `foreign' host will -have unpredictable (certainly not useful) effects on the package manager on -that system. Likewise, utilities from other distributions might succeed in -unpacking their archives on Debian systems, but will probably cause the Debian -package management system to fail when the time comes to upgrade or remove some -packages, or even simply to report exactly what packages are present on a -system. -

-
-
-
-
A better way:
-
-

-The Linux File System Standard (and therefore Debian GNU/Linux) requires that -subdirectories under /usr/local/ be entirely under the user's -discretion. Therefore, users can unpack `foreign' packages into this -directory, and then manage their configuration, upgrade and removal -individually. -

-
-
- -
- -

3.5 Is Debian able to run my old libc5 programs?

- -

-Yes. Just install the required libc5 libraries, from the -oldlibs section (containing old packages included for -compatibility with older applications). -

- -
- -

3.6 Can Debian be used to compile libc5 programs?

- -

-Yes. Install libc5-altdev and altgcc packages (from -the oldlibs section). You can find the appropriate libc5-compiled -gcc and g++ in directory -/usr/i486-linuxlibc1/bin. Put them in your $PATH variable to get -make and other programs to execute these first. -

- -

-Be aware that libc5 environment isn't fully supported by our other packages -anymore. -

- -
- -

3.7 How should I install a non-Debian program?

- -

-Files under the directory /usr/local/ are not under the control of -the Debian package management system. Therefore, it is good practice to place -the source code for your program in /usr/local/src/. For example, you might -extract the files for a package named "foo.tar" into the directory -/usr/local/src/foo. After you compile them, place the binaries in -/usr/local/bin/, the libraries in /usr/local/lib/, -and the configuration files in /usr/local/etc/. -

- -

-If your programs and/or files really must be placed in some other directory, -you could still store them in /usr/local/, and build the -appropriate symbolic links from the required location to its location in -/usr/local/, e.g., you could make the link -

- -
-     ln -s /usr/local/bin/foo /usr/bin/foo
-
- -

-In any case, if you obtain a package whose copyright allows redistribution, you -should consider making a Debian package of it, and uploading it for the Debian -system. Guidelines for becoming a package developer are included in the Debian -Policy manual (see What other -documentation exists on and for a Debian system?, Section 11.1). -

- -
- -

3.8 Why can't I compile programs that require libtermcap?

- -

-Debian uses the terminfo database and the ncurses -library of terminal interface routes, rather than the termcap -database and the termcap library. Users who are compiling -programs that require some knowledge of the terminal interface should replace -references to libtermcap with references to -libncurses. -

- -

-To support binaries that have already been linked with the termcap -library, and for which you do not have the source, Debian provides a package -called termcap-compat. This provides both -libtermcap.so.2 and /etc/termcap. Install this -package if the program fails to run with the error message "can't load -library 'libtermcap.so.2'", or complains about a missing -/etc/termcap file. -

- -
- -

3.9 Why can't I install AccelX?

- -

-AccelX uses the termcap library for installation. See Why can't I compile programs that require libtermcap?, -Section 3.8 above. -

- -
- -

3.10 Why do my old XFree 2.1 Motif applications crash?

- -

-You need to install the motifnls package, which provides the -XFree-2.1 configuration files needed to allow Motif applications compiled under -XFree-2.1 to run under XFree-3.1. -

- -

-Without these files, some Motif applications compiled on other machines (such -as Netscape) may crash when attempting to copy or paste from or to a text -field, and may also exhibit other problems. -

Chapter 12 - Contributing to the Debian Project -

- -
- -

-Donations of time -(to develop new packages, maintain existing packages, or provide user support), -resources (to mirror the FTP and WWW archives), and money (to pay for new -testbeds as well as hardware for the archives) can help the project. -

- -
- -

12.1 How can I become a Debian software developer?

- -

-The development of Debian is open to all, and new users with the right skills -and/or the willingness to learn are needed to maintain existing packages which -have been "orphaned" by their previous maintainers, to develop new -packages, and to provide user support. -

- -

-The description of becoming a Debian developer can be found at the New Maintainer's -Corner at the Debian web site. -

- -
- -

12.2 How can I contribute resources to the Debian project?

- -

-Since the project aims to make a substantial body of software rapidly and -easily accessible throughout the globe, mirrors are urgently needed. It is -desirable but not absolutely necessary to mirror all of the archive. Please -visit the Debian mirror -size page for information on the disk space requirements. -

- -

-Most of the mirroring is accomplished entirely automatically by scripts, -without any interaction. However, the occasional glitch or system change -occurs which requires human intervention. -

- -

-If you have a high-speed connection to the Internet, the resources to mirror -all or part of the distribution, and are willing to take the time (or find -someone) who can provide regular maintenance of the system, then please contact -debian-admin@lists.debian.org. -

- -
- -

12.3 How can I contribute financially to the Debian project?

- -

-One can make individual donations to one of two organizations that are critical -to the development of the Debian project. -

- -
- -

12.3.1 Software in the Public Interest

- -

-Software in the Public Interest (SPI) is an IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit -organization, formed when FSF withdrew their sponsorship of Debian. The -purpose of the organization is to develop and distribute free software. -

- -

-Our goals are very much like those of FSF, and we encourage programmers to use -the GNU General Public License on their programs. However, we have a slightly -different focus in that we are building and distributing a Linux system that -diverges in many technical details from the GNU system planned by FSF. We -still communicate with FSF, and we cooperate in sending them changes to GNU -software and in asking our users to donate to FSF and the GNU project. -

- -

-SPI can be reached at: http://www.spi-inc.org/. -

- -
- -

12.3.2 Free Software Foundation

- -

-At this time there is no formal connection between Debian and the Free Software -Foundation. However, the Free Software Foundation is responsible for some of -the most important software components in Debian, including the GNU C compiler, -GNU Emacs, and much of the C run-time library that is used by all programs on -the system. FSF pioneered much of what free software is today: they wrote the -General Public License that is used on much of the Debian software, and they -invented the "GNU" project to create an entirely free Unix system. -Debian should be considered a descendent of the GNU system. -

- -

-FSF can be reached at: http://www.fsf.org/. -

-The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ -
Chapter 10 - Customizing your installation of Debian GNU/Linux -

- -
- -

10.1 How can I ensure that all programs use the same paper size?

- -

-Install the libpaper1 package, and it will ask you for a -system-wide default paper size. This setting will be kept in the file -/etc/papersize. -

- -

-Users can override the paper size setting using the PAPERSIZE -environment variable. For details, see the manual page -papersize(5). -

- -
- -

10.2 How can I provide access to hardware peripherals, without compromising security?

- -

-Many device files in the /dev directory belong to some predefined -groups. For example, /dev/fd0 belongs to the floppy -group, and /dev/dsp belongs to the audio group. -

- -

-If you want a certain user to have access to one of these devices, just add the -user to the group the device belongs to, i.e. do: -

- -
-     adduser user group
-
- -

-This way you won't have to change the file permissions on the device. -

- -
- -

10.3 How do I load a console font on startup the Debian way?

- -

-The kbd and console-tools packages support this, edit -/etc/kbd/config or /etc/console-tools/config files. -

- -
- -

10.4 How can I configure an X11 program's application defaults?

- -

-Debian's X programs will install their application resource data in the -/etc/X11/app-defaults/ directory. If you want to customize X -applications globally, put your customizations in those files. They are marked -as configuration files, so their contents will be preserved during upgrades. -

- -
- -

10.5 Every distribution seems to have a different boot-up method. Tell me about Debian's.

- -

-Like all Unices, Debian boots up by executing the program init. -The configuration file for init (which is -/etc/inittab) specifies that the first script to be executed -should be /etc/init.d/rcS. This script runs all of the scripts in -/etc/rcS.d/ by sourcing or forking subprocess depending on their -file extension to perform initialization such as to check and to mount file -systems, to load modules, to start the network services, to set the clock, and -to perform other initialization. Then, for compatibility, it runs the files -(except those with a `.'in the filename) in /etc/rc.boot/ too. -Any scripts in the latter directory are usually reserved for system -administrator use, and using them in packages is deprecated. -

- -

-After completing the boot process, init executes all start scripts -in a directory specified by the default runlevel (this runlevel is given by the -entry for id in /etc/inittab). Like most System V -compatible Unices, Linux has 7 runlevels: -

- - - - - -

-Debian systems come with id=2, which indicates that the default runlevel will -be '2' when the multi-user state is entered, and the scripts in -/etc/rc2.d/ will be run. -

- -

-In fact, the scripts in any of the directories, /etc/rcN.d/ are -just symbolic links back to scripts in /etc/init.d/. However, the -names of the files in each of the /etc/rcN.d/ directories -are selected to indicate the way the scripts in -/etc/init.d/ will be run. Specifically, before entering any -runlevel, all the scripts beginning with 'K' are run; these scripts kill -services. Then all the scripts beginning with 'S' are run; these scripts start -services. The two-digit number following the 'K' or 'S' indicates the order in -which the script is run. Lower numbered scripts are executed first. -

- -

-This approach works because the scripts in /etc/init.d/ all take -an argument which can be either `start', `stop', `reload', `restart' or -`force-reload' and will then do the task indicated by the argument. These -scripts can be used even after a system has been booted, to control various -processes. -

- -

-For example, with the argument `reload' the command -

- -
-     /etc/init.d/sendmail reload
-
- -

-sends the sendmail daemon a signal to reread its configuration file. (BTW, -Debian supplies invoke-rc.d as a wrapper for invoking the scripts -in /etc/init.d/.) -

- -
- -

10.6 It looks as if Debian does not use rc.local to customize the boot process; what facilities are provided?

- -

-Suppose a system needs to execute script foo on start-up, or on -entry to a particular (System V) runlevel. Then the system administrator -should: -

- - - - -

-The command update-rc.d will set up links between files in the -directories rc?.d and the script in /etc/init.d/. Each link will -begin with a 'S' or a 'K', followed by a number, followed by the name of the -script. Scripts beginning with 'S' in /etc/rcN.d/ are executed -when runlevel N is entered. Scripts beginning with a 'K' are -executed when leaving runlevel N. -

- -

-One might, for example, cause the script foo to execute at -boot-up, by putting it in /etc/init.d/ and installing the links -with update-rc.d foo defaults 19. The argument 'defaults' refers -to the default runlevels, which are 2 through 5. The argument '19' ensures -that foo is called before any scripts containing numbers 20 or -larger. -

- -
- -

10.7 How does the package management system deal with packages that contain configuration files for other packages?

- -

-Some users wish to create, for example, a new server by installing a group of -Debian packages and a locally generated package consisting of configuration -files. This is not generally a good idea, because dpkg will not -know about those configuration files if they are in a different package, and -may write conflicting configurations when one of the initial "group" -of packages is upgraded. -

- -

-Instead, create a local package that modifies the configuration files of the -"group" of Debian packages of interest. Then dpkg and -the rest of the package management system will see that the files have been -modified by the local "sysadmin" and will not try to overwrite them -when those packages are upgraded. -

- -
- -

10.8 How do I override a file installed by a package, so that a different version can be used instead?

- -

-Suppose a sysadmin or local user wishes to use a program -"login-local" rather than the program "login" provided by -the Debian login package. -

- -

-Do not: -

- - -

-The package management system will not know about this change, and will simply -overwrite your custom /bin/login whenever login (or -any package that provides /bin/login) is installed or updated. -

- -

-Rather, do -

- - - -

-Details are given in the manual page dpkg-divert(8). -

- -
- -

10.9 How can I have my locally-built package included in the list of available packages that the package management system knows about?

- -

-Execute the command: -

- -
-     dpkg-scanpackages BIN_DIR OVERRIDE_FILE [PATHPREFIX] > my_Packages
-
- -

-where: -

- - - - -

-Once you have built the file my_Packages, tell the package -management system about it by using the command: -

- -
-     dpkg --merge-avail my_Packages
-
- -

-If you are using APT, you can add the local repository to your -sources.list(5) file, too. -

- -
- -

10.10 Some users like mawk, others like gawk; some like vim, others like elvis; some like trn, others like tin; how does Debian support diversity?

- -

-There are several cases where two packages provide two different versions of a -program, both of which provide the same core functionality. Users might prefer -one over another out of habit, or because the user interface of one package is -somehow more pleasing than the interface of another. Other users on the same -system might make a different choice. -

- -

-Debian uses a "virtual" package system to allow system administrators -to choose (or let users choose) their favorite tools when there are two or more -that provide the same basic functionality, yet satisfy package dependency -requirements without specifying a particular package. -

- -

-For example, there might exist two different versions of newsreaders on a -system. The news server package might 'recommend' that there exist -some news reader on the system, but the choice of tin or -trn is left up to the individual user. This is satisfied by -having both the tin and trn packages provide the -virtual package news-reader. Which program is invoked is -determined by a link pointing from a file with the virtual package name -/etc/alternatives/news-reader to the selected file, e.g., -/usr/bin/trn. -

- -

-A single link is insufficient to support full use of an alternate program; -normally, manual pages, and possibly other supporting files must be selected as -well. The Perl script update-alternatives provides a way of -ensuring that all the files associated with a specified package are selected as -a system default. -

- -

-For example, to check what executables provide `x-window-manager', run: -

- -
-     update-alternatives --display x-window-manager
-
- -

-If you want to change it, run: -

- -
-     update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
-
- -

-And follow the instructions on the screen (basically, press the number next to -the entry you'd like better). -

- -

-If a package doesn't register itself as a window manager for some reason (file -a bug if it's in error), or if you use a window manager from /usr/local -directory, the selections on screen won't contain your preferred entry. You -can update the link through command line options, like this: -

- -
-     update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-window-manager \
-       x-window-manager /usr/local/bin/wmaker-cvs 50
-
- -

-The first argument to `--install' option is the symlink that points to -/etc/alternatives/NAME, where NAME is the second argument. The third argument -is the program to which /etc/alternatives/NAME should point to, and the fourth -argument is the priority (larger value means the alternative will more probably -get picked automatically). -

- -

-To remove an alternative you added, simply run: -

- -
-     update-alternatives --remove x-window-manager /usr/local/bin/wmaker-cvs

-The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ -
Chapter 5 - The Debian FTP archives -

- -
- -

5.1 What are all those directories at the Debian FTP archives?

- -

-The software that has been packaged for Debian GNU/Linux is available in one of -several directory trees on each Debian mirror site. -

- -

-The dists directory is short for "distributions", and it -is the canonical way to access the currently available Debian releases (and -pre-releases). -

- -

-The pool directory contains the actual packages, see What's in the pool directory?, Section 5.10. -

- -

-There are the following supplementary directories: -

-
-
/tools/:
-
-

-DOS utilities for creating boot disks, partitioning your disk drive, -compressing/decompressing files, and booting Linux. -

-
-
-
-
/doc/:
-
-

-The basic Debian documentation, such as the FAQ, the bug reporting system -instructions, etc. -

-
-
-
-
/indices/:
-
-

-The Maintainers file and the override files. -

-
-
-
-
/project/:
-
-

-mostly developer-only materials, such as: -

-
-
project/experimental/:
-
-

-This directory contains packages and tools which are still being developed, and -are still in the alpha testing stage. Users shouldn't be using packages from -here, because they can be dangerous and harmful even for the most experienced -people. -

-
-
-
-
- -
- -

5.2 How many Debian distributions are there in the dists directory?

- -

-There are three distributions, the "stable" distribution, the -"testing" distribution, and the "unstable" distribution. -The "testing" distribution is sometimes `frozen' (see What about "testing"? How is it `frozen'?, Section -5.6.1). -

- -
- -

5.3 What are all those names like slink, potato, etc.?

- -

-They are just "codenames". When a Debian distribution is in the -development stage, it has no version number but a codename. The purpose of -these codenames is to make easier the mirroring of the Debian distributions (if -a real directory like unstable suddenly changed its name to -stable, a lot of stuff would have to be needlessly downloaded -again). -

- -

-Currently, stable is a symbolic link to etch (i.e. -Debian GNU/Linux 4.0) and testing is a symbolic link to -lenny. This means that etch is the current stable -distribution and lenny is the current testing distribution. -

- -

-unstable is a permanent symbolic link to sid, as -sid is always the unstable distribution (see What -about "sid"?, Section 5.4). -

- -
- -

5.3.1 Which other codenames have been used in the past?

- -

-Other codenames that have been already used are: buzz for release -1.1, rex for release 1.2, bo for releases 1.3.x, -hamm for release 2.0, slink for release 2.1, -potato for release 2.2, woody for release 3.0 and -sarge for release 3.1. -

- -
- -

5.3.2 Where do these codenames come from?

- -

-So far they have been characters taken from the movie "Toy Story" by -Pixar. -

- - - - - - - - - - - - -
- -

5.4 What about "sid"?

- -

-sid or unstable is the place where most of the packages are -initially uploaded. It will never be released directly, because packages which -are to be released will first have to be included in testing, in order -to be released in stable later on. sid contains packages for both -released and unreleased architectures. -

- -

-The name "sid" also comes from the "Toy Story" animated -motion picture: Sid was the boy next door who destroyed toys :-) -

- -

-[1] -

- -
- -

5.5 What does the stable directory contain?

- - - - -
- -

5.6 What does the testing directory contain?

- -

-Packages are installed into the `testing' directory after they have undergone -some degree of testing in unstable. -

- -

-They must be in sync on all architectures where they have been built and -mustn't have dependencies that make them uninstallable; they also have to have -fewer release-critical bugs than the versions currently in testing. This way, -we hope that `testing' is always close to being a release candidate. -

- -

-More information about the status of "testing" in general and the -individual packages is available at http://www.debian.org/devel/testing -

- -
- -

5.6.1 What about "testing"? How is it `frozen'?

- -

-When the "testing" distribution is mature enough, the release manager -starts `freezing' it. The normal propagation delays are increased to ensure -that as little as possible new bugs from "unstable" enter -"testing". -

- -

-After a while, the "testing" distribution becomes truly `frozen'. -This means that all new packages that are to propagate to the -"testing" are held back, unless they include release-critical bug -fixes. The "testing" distribution can also remain in such a deep -freeze during the so-called `test cycles', when the release is imminent. -

- -

-We keep a record of bugs in the "testing" distribution that can hold -off a package from being released, or bugs that can hold back the whole -release. For details, please see current testing release -information. -

- -

-Once that bug count lowers to maximum acceptable values, the frozen -"testing" distribution is declared "stable" and released -with a version number. -

- -

-With each new release, the previous "stable" distribution becomes -obsolete and moves to the archive. For more information please see Debian archive. -

- -
- -

5.7 What does the unstable directory contain?

- -

-The `unstable' directory contains a snapshot of the current development system. -Users are welcome to use and test these packages, but are warned about their -state of readiness. The advantage of using the unstable distribution is that -you are always up-to-date with the latest in GNU/Linux software industry, but -if it breaks: you get to keep both parts :-) -

- -

-There are also main, contrib and non-free subdirectories in `unstable', -separated on the same criteria as in `stable'. -

- -
- -

5.8 What are all those directories inside dists/stable/main?

- -

-Within each of the major directory trees[2], there are three sets of subdirectories containing index -files. -

- -

-There's one set of binary-something subdirectories -which contain index files for binary packages of each available computer -architecture, for example binary-i386 for packages which execute -on Intel x86 PC machines or binary-sparc for packages which -execute on Sun SPARCStations. -

- -

-The complete list of available architectures for each release is available at -the release's web -page. For the current release, please see On what hardware architectures/systems does -Debian GNU/Linux run?, Section 3.1. -

- -

-The index files in binary-* are called Packages(.gz) and they include a summary -of each binary package that is included in that distribution. The actual -binary packages (for woody and subsequent releases) reside in the top -level pool directory. -

- -

-Furthermore, there's a subdirectory called source/ which contains index files -for source packages included in the distribution. The index file is called -Sources(.gz). -

- -

-Last but not least, there's a set of subdirectories meant for the installation -system index files. In the woody release, these are named -disks-architecture; in sarge, they are at -debian-installer/binary-architecture. -

- -
- -

5.9 Where is the source code?

- -

-Source code is included for everything in the Debian system. Moreover, the -license terms of most programs in the system require that source code -be distributed along with the programs, or that an offer to provide the source -code accompany the programs. -

- -

-The source code is distributed in the pool directory (see What's in the pool directory?, Section 5.10) -together with all the architecture-specific binary directories. To retrieve -the source code without having to be familiar with the structure of the FTP -archive, try a command like apt-get source mypackagename. -

- -

-Some packages are only distributed as source code due to the restrictions in -their licenses. Notably, one such package is pine, see Where is pine?, Section 4.10 for more -information. -

- -

-Source code may or may not be available for packages in the "contrib" -and "non-free" directories, which are not formally part of the Debian -system. -

- -
- -

5.10 What's in the pool directory?

- -

-Packages are kept in a large `pool', structured according to the name of the -source package. To make this manageable, the pool is subdivided by section -(`main', `contrib' and `non-free') and by the first letter of the source -package name. These directories contain several files: the binary packages for -each architecture, and the source packages from which the binary packages were -generated. -

- -

-You can find out where each package is placed by executing a command like -apt-cache showsrc mypackagename and looking at the `Directory:' -line. For example, the apache packages are stored in -pool/main/a/apache/. -

- -

-Additionally, since there are so many lib* packages, these are -treated specially: for instance, libpaper packages are stored in -pool/main/libp/libpaper/. -

- -

-[3] -

- -
- -

5.11 What is "incoming"?

- -

-After a developer uploads a package, it stays for a short while in the -"incoming" directory before it is checked that it's genuine and -allowed into the archive. -

- -

-Usually nobody should install things from this place. However, in some rare -cases of emergency, the incoming directory is available at http://incoming.debian.org/. You -can manually fetch packages, check the GPG signature and MD5sums in the -.changes and .dsc files, and then install them. -

- -
- -

5.12 How do I set up my own apt-able repository?

- -

-If you have built some private Debian packages which you'd like to install -using the standard Debian package management tools, you can set up your own -apt-able package archive. This is also useful if you'd like to share your -Debian packages while these are not distributed by the Debian project. -Instructions on how to do this are given in the Debian -Repository HOWTO. -

-The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ -
Chapter 2 - Getting and installing Debian GNU/Linux -

- -
- -

-The official document giving installation instructions is the Debian GNU/Linux -Installation Guide. We'll give some additional notes about getting -and installing Debian GNU/Linux here. -

- -
- -

2.1 What is the latest version of Debian?

- -

-Currently there are three versions of Debian GNU/Linux: -

-
-
release 4.0, a.k.a. the `stable' distribution
-
-

-This is stable and well tested software, it changes if major security or -usability fixes are incorporated. -

-
-
-
-
the `testing' distribution
-
-

-This is where packages that will be released as the next `stable' are placed; -they've had some testing in unstable but they may not be completely fit for -release yet. This distribution is updated more often than `stable', but not -more often than `unstable'. -

-
-
-
-
the `unstable' distribution
-
-

-This is the version currently under development; it is updated continuously. -You can retrieve packages from the `unstable' archive on any Debian FTP site -and use them to upgrade your system at any time, but you may not expect the -system to be as usable or as stable as before - that's why it's called -`unstable'! -

-
-
- -

-Please see How many Debian -distributions are there in the dists directory?, Section 5.2 -for more information. -

- -
- -

2.2 Are there package upgrades in `stable'?

- -

-No new functionality is added to the stable release. Once a Debian version is -released and tagged `stable' it will only get security updates. That is, only -packages for which a security vulnerability has been found after the release -will be upgraded. All the security updates are served through security.debian.org. -

- -

-Security updates serve one purpose: to supply a fix for a security -vulnerability. They are not a method for sneaking additional changes into the -stable release without going through normal point release procedure. -Consequently, fixes for packages with security issues will not upgrade the -software. The Debian Security Team will backport the necessary fixes to the -version of the software distributed in `stable' instead. -

- -

-For more information related to security support please read the Security FAQ or the -Debian -Security Manual. -

- -
- -

2.3 Where/how can I get the Debian installation disks?

- -

-You can get the installation disks by downloading the appropriate files from -one of the Debian -mirrors. -

- -

-The installation system files are separated in subdirectories of -dists/stable/main directory, and the names of these subdirectories -correspond to your architecture like this: disks-arch -(arch is "i386", "sparc", etc, check the site -for an exact list). In each of these architecture subdirectories there can be -several directories, each for a version of the installation system, and the -currently used one is in the `current' directory (that's a symbolic link). -

- -

-See the README.txt file in that directory for further -instructions. -

- -
- -

2.4 How do I install the Debian from CD-ROMs?

- -

-Linux supports the ISO 9660 (CD-ROM) file system with Rock Ridge extensions -(formerly known as "High Sierra"). Several vendors provide Debian -GNU/Linux in this format. -

- -

-Warning: When installing from CD-ROM, it is usually not a good idea to choose -dselect's cdrom access method. This method is usually very slow. -The mountable and apt methods, for example, are much -better for installing from CD-ROM (see dpkg-mountable, Section 8.2.5 -and apt-get, dselect and apt-cdrom, Section -8.2.2). -

- -
- -

2.5 Why does the official stable released CD-ROM contain symlinks for `frozen' and `unstable'? I thought this CD contains just `stable'!

- -

-Official Debian CD images indeed contain symlinks like: -

- -
-      /dists/frozen -> sarge/
-      /dists/stable -> sarge/
-      /dists/testing -> sarge/
-      /dists/unstable -> sarge/
-
- -

-so that they work when your sources.list has an entry like -

- -
-      deb cdrom:[<name as on cd label>]/ unstable main [...]
-
- -

-. -

- -

-The fact these symlinks are present does not mean the image is -`unstable' or `testing' or anything. Read the CD label in -/.disk/info to find out which Debian version it contains. This -information is also present in /README.txt on the CD. -

- -

-Read http://www.debian.org/releases/ -to find out what the current `stable' and `testing' releases are. -

- -
- -

2.6 I have my own CD-writer, are there CD images available somewhere?

- -

-Yes. To make it easier for CD vendors to provide high quality disks, we -provide the Official CD -images. -

- -
- -

2.7 Can I install it from a pile of floppy disks?

- -

-First of all, a warning: whole Debian GNU/Linux is way too large to be -installed from media as small as a standard 1.44MB floppy disk - you may not -find installing from floppies a very pleasant experience. -

- -

-Copy the Debian packages onto formatted floppy disks. Either a DOS, the native -Linux "ext2", or the "minix" format will do; one just has -to use a mount command appropriate to the floppy being used. -

- -

-Using floppy disks has these complications: -

- - - -

-You must have support in the kernel for floppy disks in order to read and write -to floppy disk; most kernels come with floppy drive support included in them. -

- -

-To mount a floppy disk under the mount point /floppy (a directory -which should have been created during installation), use: -

- - - - -
- -

2.8 Can I get and install Debian directly from a remote Internet site?

- -

-Yes. You can boot the Debian installation system from a set of files you can -download from our FTP site and its mirrors. -

- -

-You can download a small CD image file, create a bootable CD from it, install -the basic system from it and the rest over the network. For more information -please see http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/. -

- -

-You can also download even smaller floppy disk image files, create bootable -diskettes from them, start the installation procedure and get the rest of -Debian over the network. For more information, please see http://www.debian.org/distrib/floppyinst. -

Chapter 9 - Debian and the kernel -

- -
- -

9.1 Can I install and compile a kernel without some Debian-specific tweaking?

- -

-Yes. -

- -

-There's only one common catch: the Debian C libraries are built with the most -recent stable releases of the kernel headers. If you -happen to need to compile a program with kernel headers newer than the ones -from the stable branch, then you should either upgrade the package containing -the headers (libc6-dev), or use the new headers from an unpacked -tree of the newer kernel. That is, if the kernel sources are in -/usr/src/linux, then you should add --I/usr/src/linux/include/ to your command line when compiling. -

- -
- -

9.2 What tools does Debian provide to build custom kernels?

- -

-Users who wish to (or must) build a custom kernel are encouraged to download -the package kernel-package. This package contains the script to -build the kernel package, and provides the capability to create a Debian -kernel-image-version package just by running the -command -

- -
-     make-kpkg kernel_image
-
- -

-in the top-level kernel source directory. Help is available by executing the -command -

- -
-     make-kpkg --help
-
- -

-and through the manual page make-kpkg(1). -

- -

-Users must separately download the source code for the most recent kernel (or -the kernel of their choice) from their favorite Linux archive site, unless a -kernel-source-version package is available (where -version stands for the kernel version). -

- -

-Detailed instructions for using the kernel-package package are -given in the file /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz. -Briefly, one should: -

- - - - - -
- -

9.3 How can I make a custom boot floppy?

- -

-This task is greatly aided by the Debian package boot-floppies, -normally found in the admin section of the Debian FTP archive. -Shell scripts in this package produce boot floppies in the -SYSLINUX format. These are MS-DOS formatted floppies -whose master boot records have been altered so that they boot Linux directly -(or whatever other operating system has been defined in the -syslinux.cfg file on the floppy). Other scripts in this package -produce emergency root disks and can even reproduce the base disks. -

- -

-You will find more information about this in the -/usr/share/doc/boot-floppies/README file after installing the -boot-floppies package. -

- -
- -

9.4 What special provisions does Debian provide to deal with modules?

- -

-Debian's modconf package provides a shell script -(/usr/sbin/modconf) which can be used to customize the -configuration of modules. This script presents a menu-based interface, -prompting the user for particulars on the loadable device drivers in his -system. The responses are used to customize the file -/etc/modules.conf (which lists aliases, and other arguments that -must be used in conjunction with various modules) through files in -/etc/modutils/, and /etc/modules (which lists the -modules that must be loaded at boot time). -

- -

-Like the (new) Configure.help files that are now available to -support the construction of custom kernels, the modconf package -comes with a series of help files (in /usr/lib/modules_help/) -which provide detailed information on appropriate arguments for each of the -modules. -

- -
- -

9.5 Can I safely de-install an old kernel package, and if so, how?

- -

-Yes. The kernel-image-NNN.prerm script checks to see -whether the kernel you are currently running is the same as the kernel you are -trying to de-install. Therefore you can remove unwanted kernel image packages -using this command: -

- -
-     dpkg --purge --force-remove-essential kernel-image-NNN
-
- -

-(replace NNN with your kernel version and revision number, of -course) -

14.1 Increased security

- -

-Debian contains support for shadow passwords since release 1.3. In addition, -the Linux library of Pluggable Authentication Modules (a.k.a. libpam;) that -allows sysadmins to choose authorization modes on an application-specific basis -is available, and initially set to authenticate via shadow password. -

- -

-Including full support for additional security enhancements for mandatory -access control mechanisms such as SElinux, RSBAC and buffer overflow protection -like Exec-shield or PaX is still in progress. -

- -
- -

14.2 Extended support for non-English users

- -

-Debian already has very good support for non-English users, see How does Debian support non-English -languages?, Section 4.8. -

- -

-We hope to find people who will provide support for even more languages, and -translate. Some programs already support internationalization, so we need -message catalogs translators. Many programs still remain to be properly -internationalized. -

- -

-The GNU Translation Project ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ABOUT-NLS -works on internationalizing the GNU programs. -

- -
- -

14.3 More architectures

- -

-Complete Debian system on other architectures such as AMD64 or SuperH is -expected soon. Notice that even though some architectures are dropped for a -given the release there still might be a way to install and upgrade using the -latest sid. -

- -
- -

14.4 More kernels

- -

-In addition to Debian GNU/Hurd, Debian is being ported also to BSD kernels, -namely to NetBSD. -

-The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ -
Chapter 6 - Basics of the Debian package management system -

- -
- -

6.1 What is a Debian package?

- -

-Packages generally contain all of the files necessary to implement a set of -related commands or features. There are two types of Debian packages: -

- - - -

-Installation of software by the package system uses "dependencies" -which are carefully designed by the package maintainers. These dependencies -are documented in the control file associated with each package. -For example, the package containing the GNU C compiler (gcc) -"depends" on the package binutils which includes the -linker and assembler. If a user attempts to install gcc without -having first installed binutils, the package management system -(dpkg) will send an error message that it also needs binutils, and -stop installing gcc. (However, this facility can be overridden by -the insistent user, see dpkg(8).) See more in What is meant by saying that a package Depends, -Recommends, Suggests, Conflicts, Replaces -or Provides another package?, Section 6.9 below. -

- -

-Debian's packaging tools can be used to: -

- - - - - -
- -

6.2 What is the format of a Debian binary package?

- -

-A Debian "package", or a Debian archive file, contains the executable -files, libraries, and documentation associated with a particular suite of -program or set of related programs. Normally, a Debian archive file has a -filename that ends in .deb. -

- -

-The internals of this Debian binary packages format are described in the -deb(5) manual page. This internal format is subject to change -(between major releases of Debian GNU/Linux), therefore please always use -dpkg-deb(1) for manipulating .deb files. -

- -
- -

6.3 Why are Debian package file names so long?

- -

-The Debian binary package file names conform to the following convention: -<foo>_<VersionNumber>-<DebianRevisionNumber>.deb -

- -

-Note that foo is supposed to be the package name. As a check, one -can learn the package name associated with a particular Debian archive file -(.deb file) in one of these ways: -

- - - -

-The VVV component is the version number specified by the upstream -developer. There are no standards in place here, so the version number may -have formats as different as "19990513" and "1.3.8pre1". -

- -

-The RRR component is the Debian revision number, and is specified -by the Debian developer (or an individual user if he chooses to build the -package himself). This number corresponds to the revision level of the Debian -package, thus, a new revision level usually signifies changes in the Debian -Makefile (debian/rules), the Debian control file -(debian/control), the installation or removal scripts -(debian/p*), or in the configuration files used with the package. -

- -
- -

6.4 What is a Debian control file?

- -

-Specifics regarding the contents of a Debian control file are provided in the -Debian Policy Manual, section 5, see What other documentation exists on and -for a Debian system?, Section 11.1. -

- -

-Briefly, a sample control file is shown below for the Debian package hello: -

- -
-     Package: hello
-     Priority: optional
-     Section: devel
-     Installed-Size: 45
-     Maintainer: Adam Heath <doogie@debian.org>
-     Architecture: i386
-     Version: 1.3-16
-     Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1)
-     Description: The classic greeting, and a good example
-      The GNU hello program produces a familiar, friendly greeting.  It
-      allows nonprogrammers to use a classic computer science tool which
-      would otherwise be unavailable to them.
-      .
-      Seriously, though: this is an example of how to do a Debian package.
-      It is the Debian version of the GNU Project's `hello world' program
-      (which is itself an example for the GNU Project).
-
- -

-The Package field gives the package name. This is the name by which the -package can be manipulated by the package tools, and usually similar to but not -necessarily the same as the first component string in the Debian archive file -name. -

- -

-The Version field gives both the upstream developer's version number and (in -the last component) the revision level of the Debian package of this program as -explained in Why are Debian package file names so long?, -Section 6.3. -

- -

-The Architecture field specifies the chip for which this particular binary was -compiled. -

- -

-The Depends field gives a list of packages that have to be installed in order -to install this package successfully. -

- -

-The Installed-Size indicates how much disk space the installed package will -consume. This is intended to be used by installation front-ends in order to -show whether there is enough disk space available to install the program. -

- -

-The Section line gives the "section" where this Debian package is -stored at the Debian FTP sites. This is the name of a subdirectory (within one -of the main directories, see What -are all those directories at the Debian FTP archives?, Section 5.1) where -the package is stored. -

- -

-The Priority indicates how important is this package for installation, so that -semi-intelligent software like dselect or console-apt can sort the package into -a category of e.g. packages optionally installed. See What is an Essential Required, -Important, Standard, Optional, or Extra -package?, Section 6.7. -

- -

-The Maintainer field gives the e-mail address of the person who is currently -responsible for maintaining this package. -

- -

-The Description field gives a brief summary of the package's features. -

- -

-For more information about all possible fields a package can have, please see -the Debian Policy Manual, section 5., "Control files and their -fields". -

- -
- -

6.5 What is a Debian conffile?

- -

-Conffiles is a list of configuration files (usually placed in -/etc) that the package management system will not overwrite when -the package is upgraded. This ensures that local values for the contents of -these files will be preserved, and is a critical feature enabling the in-place -upgrade of packages on a running system. -

- -

-To determine exactly which files are preserved during an upgrade, run: -

- -
-     dpkg --status package
-
- -

-And look under "Conffiles:". -

- -
- -

6.6 What is a Debian preinst, postinst, prerm, and postrm script?

- -

-These files are executable scripts which are automatically run before or after -a package is installed. Along with a file named control, all of -these files are part of the "control" section of a Debian archive -file. -

- -

-The individual files are: -

-
-
preinst
-
-

-This script executes before that package will be unpacked from its Debian -archive (".deb") file. Many 'preinst' scripts stop services for -packages which are being upgraded until their installation or upgrade is -completed (following the successful execution of the 'postinst' script). -

-
-
-
-
postinst
-
-

-This script typically completes any required configuration of the package -foo once foo has been unpacked from its Debian -archive (".deb") file. Often, 'postinst' scripts ask the user for -input, and/or warn the user that if he accepts default values, he should -remember to go back and re-configure that package as the situation warrants. -Many 'postinst' scripts then execute any commands necessary to start or restart -a service once a new package has been installed or upgraded. -

-
-
-
-
prerm
-
-

-This script typically stops any daemons which are associated with a package. -It is executed before the removal of files associated with the package. -

-
-
-
-
postrm
-
-

-This script typically modifies links or other files associated with -foo, and/or removes files created by the package. (Also see What is a Virtual Package?, Section 6.8.) -

-
-
- -

-Currently all of the control files can be found in directory -/var/lib/dpkg/info. The files relevant to package -foo begin with the name "foo" and have file extensions -of "preinst", "postinst", etc., as appropriate. The file -foo.list in that directory lists all of the files that were -installed with the package foo. (Note that the location of these -files is a dpkg internal; you should not rely on it.) -

- -
- -

6.7 What is an Essential Required, Important, Standard, Optional, or Extra package?

- -

-Each Debian package is assigned a priority by the distribution -maintainers, as an aid to the package management system. The priorities are: -

- - - - - - -

-If you do a default Debian installation all the packages of priority -Standard or higher will be installed in your system. If you -select pre-defined tasks you will get lower priority packages too. -

- -

-Additionally, some packages are marked as Essential since they -are absolutely necessary for the proper functioning of the system. The package -management tools will refuse to remove these. -

- -
- -

6.8 What is a Virtual Package?

- -

-A virtual package is a generic name that applies to any one of a group of -packages, all of which provide similar basic functionality. For example, both -the tin and trn programs are news readers, and should -therefore satisfy any dependency of a program that required a news reader on a -system, in order to work or to be useful. They are therefore both said to -provide the "virtual package" called news-reader. -

- -

-Similarly, smail and sendmail both provide the -functionality of a mail transport agent. They are therefore said to provide -the virtual package, "mail transport agent". If either one is -installed, then any program depending on the installation of a -mail-transport-agent will be satisfied by the existence of this -virtual package. -

- -

-Debian provides a mechanism so that, if more than one package which provide the -same virtual package is installed on a system, then system administrators can -set one as the preferred package. The relevant command is -update-alternatives, and is described further in Some users like mawk, others like gawk; -some like vim, others like elvis; some like trn, others like tin; how does -Debian support diversity?, Section 10.10. -

- -
- -

6.9 What is meant by saying that a package Depends, Recommends, Suggests, Conflicts, Replaces or Provides another package?

- -

-The Debian package system has a range of package "dependencies" which -are designed to indicate (in a single flag) the level at which Program A can -operate independently of the existence of Program B on a given system: -

- - - - - - - -

-More detailed information on the use of each these terms can be found in the -Policy manual. -

- -
- -

6.10 What is meant by Pre-Depends?

- -

-"Pre-Depends" is a special dependency. In the case of most packages, -dpkg will unpack its archive file (i.e., its .deb -file) independently of whether or not the files on which it depends exist on -the system. Simplistically, unpacking means that dpkg will -extract the files from the archive file that were meant to be installed on your -file system, and put them in place. If those packages depend on the -existence of some other packages on your system, dpkg will refuse -to complete the installation (by executing its "configure" action) -until the other packages are installed. -

- -

-However, for some packages, dpkg will refuse even to unpack them -until certain dependencies are resolved. Such packages are said to -"Pre-depend" on the presence of some other packages. The Debian -project provided this mechanism to support the safe upgrading of systems from -a.out format to ELF format, where the order -in which packages were unpacked was critical. There are other large upgrade -situations where this method is useful, e.g. the packages with the required -priority and their LibC dependency. -

- -

-As before, more detailed information about this can be found in the Policy -manual. -

- -
- -

6.11 What is meant by unknown, install, remove purge and hold in the package status?

- -

-These "want" flags tell what the user wanted to do with a package (as -indicated either by the user's actions in the "Select" section of -dselect, or by the user's direct invocations of -dpkg). -

- -

-Their meanings are: -

- - - - - - -
- -

6.12 How do I put a package on hold?

- -

-There are three ways of holding back packages, with dpkg, aptitude or with -dselect. -

- -

-With dpkg, you just have to export the list of package selections, with: -

- -
-     dpkg --get-selections \* > selections.txt
-
- -

-Then edit the resulting file selections.txt, change the line -containing the package you wish to hold, e.g. libc6, from this: -

- -
-     libc6                                           install
-
- -

-to this: -

- -
-     libc6                                           hold
-
- -

-Save the file, and reload it into dpkg database with: -

- -
-     dpkg --set-selections < selections.txt
-
- -

-With aptitude, you can hold a package using -

- -
-     aptitude hold package_name
-
- -

-and remove the hold with -

- -
-     aptitude unhold package_name
-
- -

-With dselect, you just have to enter the [S]elect screen, find the package you -wish to hold in its present state, and press the `=' key (or `H'). The changes -will go live immediately after you exit the [S]elect screen. -

- -
- -

6.13 How do I install a source package?

- -

-Debian source packages can't actually be "installed", they are just -unpacked in whatever directory you want to build the binary packages they -produce. -

- -

-Source packages are distributed on most of the same mirrors where you can -obtain the binary packages. If you set up your APT's -sources.list(5) to include the appropriate "deb-src" -lines, you'll be able to easily download any source packages by running -

- -
-     apt-get source foo
-
- -

-To help you in actually building the source package, Debian source package -provide the so-called build-dependencies mechanism. This means that the source -package maintainer keeps a list of other packages that are required to build -their package. To see how this is useful, run -

- -
-     apt-get build-dep foo
-
- -

-before building the source. -

- -
- -

6.14 How do I build binary packages from a source package?

- -

-You will need all of foo_*.dsc, foo_*.tar.gz and foo_*.diff.gz to compile the -source (note: there is no .diff.gz for some packages that are native to -Debian). -

- -

-Once you have them (How do I install a source package?, -Section 6.13), if you have the dpkg-dev package installed, the -following command: -

- -
-     dpkg-source -x foo_version-revision.dsc
-
- -

-will extract the package into a directory called foo-version. -

- -

-If you want just to compile the package, you may cd into -foo-version directory and issue the command -

- -
-     dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
-
- -

-to build the package (note that this also requires the fakeroot -package), and then -

- -
-     dpkg -i ../foo_version-revision_arch.deb
-
- -

-to install the newly-built package(s). -

- -
- -

6.15 How do I create Debian packages myself?

- -

-For more detailed description on this, read the New Maintainers' Guide, -available in the maint-guide package, or at http://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals#maint-guide. -

-The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ -
Chapter 7 - The Debian package management tools -

- -
- -

7.1 What programs does Debian provide for managing its packages?

- -

-There are multiple tools that are used to manage Debian packages, from graphic -or text-based interfaces to the low level tools used to install packages. All -the available tools rely on the lower level tools to properly work and are -presented here in decreasing complexity level. -

- -

-It is important to understand that the higher level package management tools -such as aptitude or dselect rely on apt -which, itself, relies on dpkg to manage the packages in the -system. -

- -

-See the APT -HOWTO for more information about the Debian package management -utilities. This document is available in various languages and formats, see -the APT HOWTO -entry on the DDP Users' Manuals overview. -

- -
- -

7.1.1 dpkg

- -

-This is the main package management program. dpkg can be invoked -with many options. Some common uses are: -

- - - - - - - - - - -
- -

7.1.2 APT

- -

-APT is the Advanced Package Tool and provides the apt-get -program. apt-get provides a simple way to retrieve and install -packages from multiple sources using the command line. Unlike -dpkg, apt-get does not understand .deb files, it -works with the packages proper name and can only install .deb archives from a -source specified in /etc/apt/sources.list. apt-get -will call dpkg directly after downloading the .deb archives[4] from the configured sources. -

- -

-Some common ways to use apt-get are: -

- - - - - - - -

-Note that you must be logged in as root to perform any commands that modify the -system packages. -

- -

-The apt tool suite also includes the apt-cache tool to query the -package lists. You can use it to find packages providing specific -functionality through simple text or regular expression queries and through -queries of dependencies in the package management system. Some common ways to -use apt-cache are: -

- - - - - -

-For more information, install the apt package and read -apt-get(8), sources.list(5) and install the -apt-doc package and read -/usr/share/doc/apt-doc/guide.html/index.html. -

- -
- -

7.1.3 aptitude

- -

-aptitude is a package manager for Debian GNU/Linux systems that -provides a frontend to the apt package management infrastructure. -aptitude is a text-based interface using the curses library, it -can be used to perform management tasks in a fast and easy way. -

- -

-aptitude provides the functionality of dselect and -apt-get, as well as many additional features not found in either -program: -

- - - - - - - - -

-You can use aptitude through a visual interface (simply run -aptitude) or directly from the command line. The command line -syntax used is very similar to the one used in apt-get. For -example, to install the foo package, you can run aptitude -install foo. -

- -

-Note that aptitude is the recommended program by Debian to install -a package and/or to upgrade your system. -

- -

-For more informations, read the manual page aptitude(8) and -install the aptitude-doc-en package. -

- -
- -

7.1.4 dselect

- -

-This program is a menu-driven interface to the Debian package management -system. It is particularly useful for first-time installations. Some users -might feel more comfortable using aptitude which is also -recommended over dselect for large-scale upgrades. For more -information on aptitude please see aptitude, -Section 7.1.3. -

- -

-dselect can: -

- - - - - - -

-dselect begins by presenting the user with a menu of 7 items, each -of which is a specific action. The user can select one of the actions by using -the arrow keys to move the highlighter bar, then pressing the -<enter> key to select the highlighted action. -

- -

-What the user sees next depends on the action he selected. If he selects any -option but Access or Select, then -dselect will simply proceed to execute the specified action: e.g., -if the user selected the action Remove, then dselect would proceed -to remove all of the files selected for removal when the user last chose the -Select action. -

- -

-Both the Access menu item and the Select menu item -lead to additional menus. In both cases, the menus are presented as split -screens; the top screen gives a scrollable list of choices, while the bottom -screen gives a brief explanation ("info") for each choice. -

- -

-Extensive on-line help is available, use the '?' key to get to a help screen -at any time. -

- -

-The order in which the actions are presented in the first dselect -menu represents the order in which a user would normally choose -dselect to install packages. However, a user can pick any of the -main menu choices as often as needed (including not at all, depending on what -one wants to do). -

- - - - - -
- -

7.1.5 Other package management tools

- -
- -

7.1.5.1 dpkg-deb

- -

-This program manipulates Debian archive(.deb) files. Some common -uses are: -

- - - - -

-Note that any packages that were merely unpacked using dpkg-deb ---extract will be incorrectly installed, you should use dpkg ---install instead. -

- -

-More information is given in the manual page dpkg-deb(1). -

- -
- -

7.1.5.2 dpkg-split

- -

-This program splits large package into smaller files (e.g., for writing onto a -set of floppy disks), and can also be used to merge a set of split files back -into a single file. It can only be used on a Debian system (i.e. a system -containing the dpkg package), since it calls the program -dpkg-deb to parse the debian package file into its component -records. -

- -

-For example, to split a big .deb file into N parts, -

- - - - - -
- -

7.2 Debian claims to be able to update a running program; how is this accomplished?

- -

-The kernel (file system) in Debian GNU/Linux systems supports replacing files -even while they're being used. -

- -

-We also provide a program called start-stop-daemon which is used -to start daemons at boot time or to stop daemons when the kernel runlevel is -changed (e.g., from multi-user to single-user or to halt). The same program is -used by installation scripts when a new package containing a daemon is -installed, to stop running daemons, and restart them as necessary. -

- -
- -

7.3 How can I tell what packages are already installed on a Debian system?

- -

-To learn the status of all the packages installed on a Debian system, execute -the command -

- -
-     dpkg --list
-
- -

-This prints out a one-line summary for each package, giving a 2-letter status -symbol (explained in the header), the package name, the version which is -installed, and a brief description. -

- -

-To learn the status of packages whose names match the string any pattern -beginning with "foo" by executing the command: -

- -
-     dpkg --list 'foo*'
-
- -

-To get a more verbose report for a particular package, execute the command: -

- -
-     dpkg --status packagename
-
- -
- -

7.4 How can I find out what package produced a particular file?

- -

-To identify the package that produced the file named foo execute -either: -

- - - - -
- -

7.5 Why doesn't get `foo-data' removed when I uninstall `foo'? How do I make sure old unused library-packages get purged?

- -

-Some packages that are split in program (`foo') and data (`foo-data'). This is -true for many games, multimedia applications and dictionaries in Debian and has -been introduced since some users might want to access the raw data without -installing the program or because the program can be run without the data -itself, making it optional. -

- -

-Similar situations occur when dealing with libraries: generally these get -installed since packages containing applications depend on them. When the -application-package is purged, the library-package might stay on the system. -Or: when the application-package no longer depends upon e.g. libdb4.2, but -upon libdb4.3, the libdb4.2 package might stay when the application-package is -upgraded. -

- -

-In these cases, `foo-data' doesn't depend on `foo', so when you remove the -`foo' package it will not get automatically removed by most package management -tools. The same holds true for the library packages. This is necessary to -avoid circular dependencies. If you use aptitude (see aptitude, Section 7.1.3) as your package management tool -it will, however, track automatically installed packages and remove them when -no packages remain that need them in your system. -

Chapter 13 - Redistributing Debian GNU/Linux in a commercial product -

- -
- -

13.1 Can I make and sell Debian CDs?

- -

-Go ahead. You do not need permission to distribute anything we have -released, so that you can master your CD as soon as the beta-test -ends. You do not have to pay us anything. Of course, all CD manufacturers -must honor the licenses of the programs in Debian. For example, many of the -programs are licensed under the GPL, which requires you to distribute their -source code. -

- -

-Also, we will publish a list of CD manufacturers who donate money, software, -and time to the Debian project, and we will encourage users to buy from -manufacturers who donate, so it is good advertising to make donations. -

- -
- -

13.2 Can Debian be packaged with non-free software?

- -

-Yes. While all the main components of Debian are free software, we provide a -non-free directory for programs that are not freely redistributable. -

- -

-CD manufacturers may be able to distribute the programs we have placed -in that directory, depending on the license terms or their private arrangements -with the authors of those software packages. CD manufacturers can also -distribute the non-free software they get from other sources on the same CD. -This is nothing new: free and commercial software are distributed on the same -CD by many manufacturers now. Of course we still encourage software authors to -release the programs they write as free software. -

- -
- -

13.3 I am making a special Linux distribution for a "vertical market". Can I use Debian GNU/Linux for the guts of a Linux system and add my own applications on top of it?

- -

-Yes. Debian-derived distributions are being created both in close cooperation -with the Debian project itself and by external parties. One can use the -Custom Debian -Distributions framework to work together with Debian; Skolelinux is one such project. -

- -

-One person is building a "Linux for Hams" distribution, with -specialized programs for Radio Amateurs. He is starting with Debian as the -"base system", and adding programs to control the transmitter, track -satellites, etc. All of the programs he adds are packaged with the Debian -packaging system so that his users will be able to upgrade easily when he -releases subsequent CDs. -

- -

-There are several other Debian-derived distributions already on the market, -such as Progeny Debian, Linspire, Knoppix and Ubuntu, that are targeted at a -different kind of audience than the original Debian GNU/Linux is, but use most -of our components in their product. -

- -

-Debian also provides a mechanism to allow developers and system administrators -to install local versions of selected files in such a way that they will not be -overwritten when other packages are upgraded. This is discussed further in the -question on How do I override a file -installed by a package, so that a different version can be used instead?, -Section 10.8. -

- -
- -

13.4 Can I put my commercial program in a Debian "package" so that it installs effortlessly on any Debian system?

- -

-Go right ahead. The package tool is free software; the packages may or may not -be free software, it can install them all. -

-The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ -
Chapter 4 - Software available in the Debian system -

- -
- -

4.1 What types of applications and development software are available for Debian GNU/Linux?

- -

-Like most Linux distributions, Debian GNU/Linux provides: -

- - - - - - - -

-More than 18138 packages, ranging from news servers and readers to sound -support, FAX programs, database and spreadsheet programs, image processing -programs, communications, net, and mail utilities, Web servers, and even -ham-radio programs are included in the distribution. Another 444 software -suites are available as Debian packages, but are not formally part of Debian -due to license restrictions. -

- -
- -

4.2 Who wrote all that software?

- -

-For each package the authors of the program(s) are credited in the -file /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/copyright, where PACKAGE is to be -substituted with the package's name. -

- -

-Maintainers who package this software for the Debian GNU/Linux system -are listed in the Debian control file (see What is a Debian control file?, -Section 6.4) that comes with each package. The Debian changelog, in -/usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/changelog.Debian.gz, mentions the people -who've worked on the Debian packaging too. -

- -
- -

4.3 How can I get a current list of programs that have been packaged for Debian?

- -

-A complete list is available from any of the Debian mirrors, in the -file indices/Maintainers. That file includes the package names -and the names and e-mails of their respective maintainers. -

- -

-The WWW interface to the Debian -packages conveniently summarizes the packages in each of about -twenty "sections" of the Debian archive. -

- -
- -

4.4 What is missing from Debian GNU/Linux?

- -

-A list of packages which are still needed to be packaged for Debian exists, the -Work-Needing and Prospective -Packages list. -

- -

-For more details about adding the missing things, see How can I become a Debian software -developer?, Section 12.1. -

- -
- -

4.5 Why do I get "ld: cannot find -lfoo" messages when compiling programs? Why aren't there any libfoo.so files in Debian library packages?

- -

-Debian Policy requires that such symbolic links (to libfoo.so.x.y.z or similar) -are placed in separate, development packages. Those packages are usually named -libfoo-dev or libfooX-dev (presuming the library package is named libfooX, and -X is a whole number). -

- -
- -

4.6 (How) Does Debian support Java?

- -

-Several free implementations of Java technology are available as -Debian packages, providing both Java Development Kits as well as Runtime -Environments. You can write, debug and run Java programs using Debian. -

- -

-Running a Java applet requires a web browser with the capability to recognize -and execute them. Several web browsers available in Debian, such as Mozilla or -Konqueror, support Java plug-ins that enable running Java applets within them. -

- -

-Please refer to the Debian Java -FAQ for more information. -

- -
- -

4.7 How can I check that I am using a Debian system, and what version is it?

- -

-In order to make sure that your system has been installed from the real Debian -base disks check for the existence of /etc/debian_version file, -which contains a single one-line entry giving the version number of the -release, as defined by the package base-files. -

- -

-The existence of the program dpkg shows that you should be able to -install Debian packages on your system, but as the program has been ported to -many other operating systems and architectures, this is no longer a reliable -method of determining is a system Debian GNU/Linux. -

- -

-Users should be aware, however, that the Debian system consists of many parts, -each of which can be updated (almost) independently. Each Debian -"release" contains well defined and unchanging contents. Updates are -separately available. For a one-line description of the installation status of -package foo, use the command dpkg --list foo. To -view versions of all installed packages, run: -

- -
-     dpkg -l
-
- -

-For a more verbose description, use: -

- -
-     dpkg --status foo
-
- -
- -

4.8 How does Debian support non-English languages?

- - - - -
- -

4.9 What about the US export regulation limitations?

- -

-US laws placed restrictions on the export of defense articles, which includes -some types of cryptographic software. PGP and ssh, among others, fall into -this category. For the sarge release packages in this archive were -moved to the main archive (or to non-free, if applicable) due to the -US relaxing its regulations on the export of cryptography. -

- -

-To prevent anyone from taking unnecessary legal risks, certain Debian GNU/Linux -packages were only available from a non-US site ftp://non-US.debian.org/debian-non-US/, -with numerous mirror sites all of which are also outside of the US, see -ftp://non-US.debian.org/debian-non-US/README.non-US -for a full list. These sites still exist (for the benefit of users of -woody) but its contents are no longer supported and are considered -obsolete. Please remove any mentions to non-US from your sources in your -/etc/apt/sources.list configuration file. -

- -
- -

4.10 Where is pine?

- -

-Due to its restrictive license, it's in the non-free area. Moreover, since -license does not even allow modified binaries to be distributed, you have to -compile it yourself from the source and the Debian patches. -

- -

-The source package name is pine. You can use the -pine-tracker package to be notified about when you need to -upgrade. -

- -

-Note that there are many replacements for both pine and pico, such as -mutt and nano, that are located in the main section. -

- -
- -

4.11 Where is qmail/ezmlm/djbdns?

- -

-Dan J. Bernstein distributes all -software he has written with a restrictive license, consequently, -it's in the non-free area. Since the license he uses does not allow modified -binaries to be distributed, you have to compile it yourself from the source and -the Debian patches to obtain a binary package you can install in your Debian -GNU/Linux system. -

- -

-The source package names are qmail-src, ezmlm-src and -djbdns-installer, respectively. -

- -

-For qmail you need to install qmail-src first and -then run build-qmail to build the Debian package. You also need -to do install the ucspi-tcp-src package to get ucspi-tcp, which -qmail depends on. -

- -

-Dan J. Bernstein maintains a FAQ from distributors page -if you are interested in reading his reasons (one of which is Cross-platform -compatibility) -

11.1 What other documentation exists on and for a Debian system?

- - - - - - - - - -

-Note that you may access a lot of documentation on your system by using a WWW -browser, through `dwww', `dhelp' or `doccentral' commands, found in respective -packages. -

- -
- -

11.2 Are there any on-line resources for discussing Debian?

- -

-Yes. In fact, the main method of support Debian provides to our users is by -the way of e-mail. -

- -
- -

11.2.1 Mailing lists

- -

-There are a lot of Debian-related mailing -lists. -

- -

-On a system with the doc-debian package installed there is a -complete list of mailing lists in -/usr/share/doc/debian/mailing-lists.txt. -

- -

-Debian mailing lists are named following the pattern -debian-list-subject. Examples are debian-announce, debian-user, -debian-news. To subscribe to any list debian-list-subject, send -mail to debian-list-subject-request@lists.debian.org with the word -"subscribe" in the Subject: header. Be sure to remember to add --request to the e-mail address when using this method to subscribe or -unsubscribe. Otherwise your e-mail will go to the list itself, which could be -embarrassing or annoying, depending on your point of view. -

- -

-If you have a forms-capable World Wide Web browser, you can subscribe to -mailing lists using the WWW form. You -can also un-subscribe using a WWW form. -

- -

-The list manager's e-mail address is listmaster@lists.debian.org, -in case you have any trouble. -

- -

-The mailing lists are public forums. All e-mails sent to the lists are also -copied to the public archive, for anybody (even non-subscribers) to browse or -search. Please make sure you never send any confidential or unlicensed -material to the lists. This includes things like e-mail addresses. Of -particular note is the fact that spammers have been known to abuse e-mail -addresses posted to our mailing lists. See the Mailing -Lists Privacy policy for more information. -

- -

-Archives of the Debian mailing lists are available via WWW at http://lists.debian.org/. -

- -
- -

11.2.1.1 What is the code of conduct for the mailing lists?

- -

-When using the Debian mailing lists, please follow these rules: -

- - - - - - -
- -

11.2.2 Maintainers

- -

-Users can address questions to individual package maintainers using e-mail. To -reach a maintainer of a package called xyz, send e-mail to -xyz@packages.debian.org. -

- -
- -

11.2.3 Usenet newsgroups

- -

-Users should post non-Debian-specific questions to one of the Linux USENET -groups, which are named comp.os.linux.* or linux.*. There are several lists of -Linux Usenet newsgroups and other related resources on the WWW, e.g. on the -Linux Online -and LinuxJournal sites. -

- -
- -

11.3 Is there a quick way to search for information on Debian GNU/Linux?

- -

-There is a variety of search engines that serve documentation related to -Debian: -

- - - - -
- -

11.4 Are there logs of known bugs?

- -

-Reports on unsolved (and closed) issues are publicly available: Debian -promissed to do so by stating "We will not hide problems" in the -Debian Social -Contract. -

- -

-The Debian GNU/Linux distribution has a bug tracking system (BTS) which files -details of bugs reported by users and developers. Each bug is given a number, -and is kept on file until it is marked as having been dealt with. -

- -

-Copies of this information are available at http://www.debian.org/Bugs/. -

- -

-A mail server provides access to the bug tracking system database via e-mail. -In order to get the instructions, send an e-mail to request@bugs.debian.org -with "help" in the body. -

- -
- -

11.5 How do I report a bug in Debian?

- -

-If you have found a bug in Debian, please read the instructions for reporting a -bug in Debian. These instructions can be obtained in one of several ways: -

- - - - -

-You can use the package reportbug that will guide you through the -reporting process and mail the message to the proper address, with some extra -details about your system added automatically. It will also show you a list of -bugs already reported to the package you are reporting against in case your bug -has been reported previously, so that you can additional information to the -existing bug report. -

- -

-If you want to mail the report with an e-mail program, send a message to -submit@bugs.debian.org. The -message's first line must be similar to -

- -
-     Package: package-name
-
- -

-(replace package-name with the name of the package). The next line -should relate the package version number in a similar way: -

- -
-     Version: version-number
-
- -

-The version number for any package installed on your system can be obtained -using the command line -

- -
-     dpkg -s package-name
-
- -

-This section is referred to as the pseudo-header. The rest of the message -should contain the description of the bug (please make it moderately detailed), -the Debian release you are using, and versions of other relevant packages. The -Debian release number will be displayed by the command -

- -
-     cat /etc/debian_version
-
- -

-Expect to get an automatic acknowledgement of your bug report. It will also be -automatically given a bug tracking number, entered into the bug log and -forwarded to the debian-bugs-dist mailing list. -

-The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ -
Chapter 8 - Keeping your Debian system up-to-date -

- -
- -

-A Debian goal is to provide a consistent upgrade path and a secure upgrade -process. We always do our best to make upgrading to new releases a smooth -procedure. In case there's some important note to add to the upgrade process, -the packages will alert the user, and often provide a solution to a possible -problem. -

- -

-You should also read the Release Notes document that describes the details of -specific upgrades. It is shipped on all Debian CDs and available on the WWW at -http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes. -

- -
- -

8.1 How can I upgrade my Debian 1.3.1 (or earlier) distribution, based on libc5, to 2.0 (or later), based on libc6?

- -

-There are several ways to upgrade: -

- - - - - -
- -

8.2 How can I keep my Debian system current?

- -

-One could simply execute an anonymous ftp call to a Debian archive, then peruse -the directories until one finds the desired file, and then fetch it, and -finally install it using dpkg. Note that dpkg will -install upgrade files in place, even on a running system. Sometimes, a revised -package will require the installation of a newly revised version of another -package, in which case the installation will fail until/unless the other -package is installed. -

- -

-Many people find this approach much too time-consuming, since Debian evolves so -quickly -- typically, a dozen or more new packages are uploaded every week. -This number is larger just before a new major release. To deal with this -avalanche, many people prefer to use a more automated method. Several -different packages are available for this purpose: -

- -
- -

8.2.1 aptitude

- -

-APT is an advanced interface to the Debian packaging system. It features -complete installation ordering, multiple source capability and several other -unique features, see the User's Guide in -/usr/share/doc/apt-doc/guide.html/index.html (you will have to -install the apt-doc package). -

- -

-aptitude is the recommended package manager for Debian GNU/Linux -systems. It is a text-based interface to APT using the curses library, and can -be used to perform management tasks in a fast and easy way. -

- -

-Before you can use aptitude, you'll have to edit the -/etc/apt/sources.list file to set it up. If you wish to upgrade -to the latest stable version of Debian, you'll probably want to use a source -like this one: -

- -
-     http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
-
- -

-You can replace http.us.debian.org with the name of a faster Debian mirror near -you. See the mirror list at http://www.debian.org/misc/README.mirrors -for more information. -

- -

-More details on this can be found in the sources.list(8) manual -page. -

- -

-To update your system, run -

- -
-     aptitude update
-
- -

-followed by -

- -
-     aptitude dist-upgrade
-
- -

-Answer any questions that might come up, and your system will be upgraded. See -also aptitude, Section 7.1.3. -

- -
- -

8.2.2 apt-get, dselect and apt-cdrom

- -

-apt-get is an APT-based command-line tool for handling packages, -and the APT dselect method is an interface to APT through dselect. -Both of these provide a simple, safe way to install and upgrade packages. -

- -

-To use apt-get, install the apt package, and edit the -/etc/apt/sources.list file to set it up, just as for aptitude, Section 8.2.1. -

- -

-Then run -

- -
-     apt-get update
-
- -

-followed by -

- -
-     apt-get dist-upgrade
-
- -

-Answer any questions that might come up, and your system will be upgraded. See -also the apt-get(8) manual page, as well as APT, Section 7.1.2. -

- -

-To use APT with dselect, choose the APT access method in dselect's -method selection screen (option 0) and then specify the sources that should be -used. The configuration file is /etc/apt/sources.list. See also -dselect, Section 7.1.4. -

- -

-If you want to use CDs to install packages, you can use apt-cdrom. -For details, please see the Release Notes, section "Setting up for an -upgrade from a local mirror". -

- -

-Please note that when you get and install the packages, you'll still have them -kept in your /var directory hierarchy. To keep your partition from -overflowing, remember to delete extra files using apt-get clean -and apt-get autoclean, or to move them someplace else (hint: use -apt-move). -

- -
- -

8.2.3 dpkg-ftp

- -

-This is an older access method for dselect. It can be invoked -from within dselect, thereby allowing a user the ability to -download files and install them directly in one step. To do this, select the -ftp access method in dselect (option 0) and specify -the remote host name and directory. dpkg-ftp will then -automatically download the files that are selected (either in this session of -dselect or earlier ones). -

- -

-Note that, unlike the mirror program, dpkg-ftp does -not grab everything at a mirror site. Rather, it downloads only those files -which you have selected (when first starting up dpkg-ftp), and -which need to be updated. -

- -

-dpkg-ftp is somewhat obsolete. You should use the APT access -method with ftp:// URLs in sources.list instead. -

- -
- -

8.2.4 mirror

- -

-This Perl script, and its (optional) manager program called -mirror-master, can be used to fetch user-specified parts of a -directory tree from a specified host via anonymous FTP. -

- -

-mirror is particularly useful for downloading large volumes of -software. After the first time files have been downloaded from a site, a file -called .mirrorinfo is stored on the local host. Changes to the -remote file system are tracked automatically by mirror, which -compares this file to a similar file on the remote system and downloads only -changed files. -

- -

-The mirror program is generally useful for updating local copies -of remote directory trees. The files fetched need not be Debian files. (Since -mirror is a Perl script, it can also run on non-Unix systems.) -Though the mirror program provides mechanisms for excluding files -names of which match user-specified strings, this program is most useful when -the objective is to download whole directory trees, rather than selected -packages. -

- -
- -

8.2.5 dpkg-mountable

- -

-dpkg-mountable adds an access method called `mountable' to dselect's list, -which allows you to install from any file system specified in /etc/fstab. For -example, the archive could be a normal hard disk partition or an NFS server, -which it will automatically mount and umount for you if necessary. -

- -

-It also has some extra features not found in the standard dselect methods, such -as provision for a local file tree (either parallel to the main distribution or -totally separate), and only getting packages which are required, rather than -the time-consuming recursive directory scan, as well as logging of all dpkg -actions in the install method. -

- -
- -

8.3 Must I go into single user mode in order to upgrade a package?

- -

-No. Packages can be upgraded in place, even in running systems. Debian has a -start-stop-daemon program that is invoked to stop, then restart -running process if necessary during a package upgrade. -

- -
- -

8.4 Do I have to keep all those .deb archive files on my disk?

- -

-No. If you have downloaded the files to your disk (which is not absolutely -necessary, see above for the description of dpkg-ftp), then after you have -installed the packages, you can remove them from your system. -

- -
- -

8.5 How can I keep a log of the packages I added to the system? I'd like to know when which package upgrades and removals have occured!

- -

-Passing the --log-option to dpkg makes -dpkg log status change updates and actions. It logs both the -dpkg-invokation (e.g. -

- -
-     2005-12-30 18:10:33 install hello 1.3.18 2.1.1-4
-
- -

-) and the results (e.g. -

- -
-     2005-12-30 18:10:35 status installed hello 2.1.1-4
-
- -

-) If you'd like to log all your dpkg invokations (even those done -using frontends like aptitude), you could add -

- -
-     log /var/log/dpkg.log
-
- -

-to your /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg. Be sure the created logfile gets -rotated periodically. If you're using logrotate, this can be -achieved by creating a file /etc/logrotate.d/dpkg with contents -

- -
-     /var/log/dpkg {
-       missingok
-       notifempty
-     }
-
- -

-More details on dpkg logging can be found in the -dpkg(1) manual page. -

- -

-aptitude logs the package installations, removals, and upgrades -that it intends to perform to /var/log/aptitude. Note that the -results of those actions are not recorded in this file! -

- -

-Another way to record your actions is to run your package management session -within the script(1) program. -

-When the present-day sid did not exist, the FTP site organization had one major -flaw: there was an assumption that when an architecture is created in the -current unstable, it will be released when that distribution becomes the new -stable. For many architectures that isn't the case, with the result that those -directories had to be moved at release time. This was impractical because the -move would chew up lots of bandwidth. -

- -

-The archive administrators worked around this problem for several years by -placing binaries for unreleased architectures in a special directory called -"sid". For those architectures not yet released, the first time they -were released there was a link from the current stable to sid, and from then on -they were created inside the unstable tree as normal. This layout was somewhat -confusing to users. -

- -

-With the advent of package pools (see What's in the -pool directory?, Section 5.10), binary packages began to be -stored in a canonical location in the pool, regardless of the distribution, so -releasing a distribution no longer causes large bandwidth consumption on the -mirrors (there is, however, a lot of gradual bandwidth consumption throughout -the development process). -

- -

- -

-dists/stable/main, dists/stable/contrib, -dists/stable/non-free, and dists/unstable/main/, etc. -

- -

3

- -

-Historically, packages were kept in the subdirectory of dists -corresponding to which distribution contained them. This turned out to cause -various problems, such as large bandwidth consumption on mirrors when major -changes were made. This was fixed with the introduction of the package pool. -

- -

-The dists directories are still used for the index files used by -programs like apt. You may also still see paths containing -dists/potato or dists/woody in the Filename header -field of some older packages. -

- -

- -

-Notice that there are ports that make this tool available with other package -management systems, like Red Hat package manager, also known as -rpm -

- -

- -

-Although this can also lead to systems with more packages installed than they -actually need to work. -

This is - set to normal by default, but can be overridden either by supplying a - Severity line in the pseudo-header when the bug is submitted (see the - instructions for reporting bugs), or by using the severity command - with the control request server. - - The severity levels are: - - critical - makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system) - break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security - hole on systems where you install the package. - - grave - makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes - data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the - accounts of users who use the package. - - serious - is a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates a - "must" or "required" directive), or, in the package - maintainer's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release. - - important - a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, - without rendering it completely unusable to everyone. - - normal - the default value, applicable to most bugs. - - minor - a problem which doesn't affect the package's usefulness, and is - presumably trivial to fix. - - wishlist - for any feature request, and also for any bugs that are very - difficult to fix due to major design considerations. - - Certain severities are considered release-critical, meaning the bug - will have an impact on releasing the package with the stable release - of Debian. Currently, these are critical, grave and serious. For - complete and canonical rules on what issues merit these severities, - see the list of Release-Critical Issues for Etch. - -Tags for bug reports - - Each bug can have zero or more of a set of given tags. These tags are - displayed in the list of bugs when you look at a package's page, and - when you look at the full bug log. - - Tags can be set by supplying a Tags line in the pseudo-header when the - bug is submitted (see the instructions for reporting bugs), or by - using the tags command with the control request server. Separate - multiple tags with commas, spaces, or both. - - The current bug tags are: - - patch - A patch or some other easy procedure for fixing the bug is - included in the bug logs. If there's a patch, but it doesn't - resolve the bug adequately or causes some other problems, this - tag should not be used. - - wontfix - This bug won't be fixed. Possibly because this is a choice - between two arbitrary ways of doing things and the maintainer - and submitter prefer different ways of doing things, possibly - because changing the behaviour will cause other, worse, - problems for others, or possibly for other reasons. - - moreinfo - This bug can't be addressed until more information is provided - by the submitter. The bug will be closed if the submitter - doesn't provide more information in a reasonable (few months) - timeframe. This is for bugs like "It doesn't work". What - doesn't work? - - unreproducible - This bug can't be reproduced on the maintainer's system. - Assistance from third parties is needed in diagnosing the cause - of the problem. - - help - The maintainer is requesting help with dealing with this bug. - - pending - A solution to this bug has been found and an upload will be - made soon. - - fixed - This bug is fixed or worked around (by a non-maintainer upload, - for example), but there's still an issue that needs to be - resolved. This tag replaces the old "fixed" severity. - - security - This bug describes a security problem in a package (e.g., bad - permissions allowing access to data that shouldn't be - accessible; buffer overruns allowing people to control a system - in ways they shouldn't be able to; denial of service attacks - that should be fixed, etc). Most security bugs should also be - set at critical or grave severity. - - upstream - This bug applies to the upstream part of the package. - - confirmed - The maintainer has looked at, understands, and basically agrees - with the bug, but has yet to fix it. (Use of this tag is - optional; it is intended mostly for maintainers who need to - manage large numbers of open bugs.) - - fixed-upstream - The bug has been fixed by the upstream maintainer, but not yet - in the package (for whatever reason: perhaps it is too - complicated to backport the change or too minor to be worth - bothering). - - fixed-in-experimental - The bug has been fixed in the package of the experimental - distribution, but not yet in the unstable distribution. - - d-i - This bug is relevant to the development of debian-installer. It - is expected that this will be used when the bug affects - installer development but is not filed against a package that - forms a direct part of the installer itself. - - ipv6 - This bug affects support for Internet Protocol version 6. - - lfs - This bug affects support for large files (over 2 gigabytes). - - l10n - This bug is relevant to the localisation of the package. - - potato - This bug particularly applies to the potato release of Debian. - - woody - This bug particularly applies to the woody distribution. - - sarge - This bug should not be archived until it is fixed in sarge. - - sarge-ignore - This release-critical bug is to be ignored for the purposes of - releasing sarge. This tag should only be used by the release - manager; do not set it yourself without explicit authorization - from them. - - etch - This bug should not be archived until it is fixed in etch. - - etch-ignore - This release-critical bug is to be ignored for the purposes of - releasing etch. This tag should only be used by the release - manager; do not set it yourself without explicit authorization - from them. - - sid - This bug should not be archived until it is fixed in sid. - - experimental - This bug should not be archived until it is fixed in - experimental. - - The meanings of the latter 6 tags have changed recently; the ignore - tags ignore the bug for the purpose of a testing propagation. The - release tags, which used to indicate which bugs affected a specific - release now indicate when a bug can be archived. - -Recording that you have passed on a bug report - - When a developer forwards a bug report to the developer of the - upstream source package from which the Debian package is derived, they - should note this in the bug tracking system as follows: - - Make sure that the To field of your message to the author has only the - author(s) address(es) in it; put the person who reported the bug, - nnn-forwarded@bugs.debian.org and nnn@bugs.debian.org in the CC field. - - Ask the author to preserve the CC to nnn-forwarded@bugs.debian.org - when they reply, so that the bug tracking system will file their reply - with the original report. These messages are only filed and are not - sent on; to send a message as normal, send them to nnn@bugs.debian.org - as well. - - When the bug tracking system gets a message at nnn-forwarded it will - mark the relevant bug as having been forwarded to the address(es) in - the To field of the message it gets, if the bug is not already marked - as forwarded. - - You can also manipulate the `forwarded to' information by sending - messages to control@bugs.debian.org. - -Changing bug ownership - - In cases where the person responsible for fixing a bug is not the - assigned maintainer for the associated package (for example, when the - package is maintained by a team), it may be useful to record this fact - in the bug tracking system. To help with this, each bug may optionally - have an owner. - - The owner can be set by supplying an Owner line in the pseudo-header - when the bug is submitted (see the instructions for reporting bugs), - or by using the owner and noowner commands with the control request - server. - -Incorrectly listed package maintainers - - If the maintainer of a package is listed incorrectly, this is usually - because the maintainer has changed recently, and the new maintainer - hasn't yet uploaded a new version of the package with a changed - Maintainer control file field. This will be fixed when the package is - uploaded; alternatively, the archive maintainers can override the - maintainer record of a package manually, for example if a rebuild and - reupload of the package is not expected to be needed soon. Contact - override-change@debian.org for changes to the override file. - -Reopening, reassigning and manipulating bugs - - It is possible to reassign bug reports to other packages, to reopen - erroneously-closed ones, to modify the information saying to where, if - anywhere, a bug report has been forwarded, to change the severities - and titles of reports, to set the ownership of bugs, to merge and - unmerge bug reports, and to record the versions of packages in which - bugs were found and in which they were fixed. This is done by sending - mail to control@bugs.debian.org. - - The format of these messages is described in another document - available on the World Wide Web or in the file - bug-maint-mailcontrol.txt. A plain text version can also be obtained - by mailing the word help to the server at the address above. - -Subscribing to bugs - - The bug tracking system also allows bug submitters, developers and - other interested third parties to subscribe to individual bugs. This - feature can be used by those wishing to keep an eye on a bug, without - having to subscribe to a package through the PTS. All messages that - are received at nnn@debian.org, are sent to subscribers. - - Subscribing to a bug can be done by sending an email to - nnn-subscribe@bugs.debian.org. The subject and body of the email are - ignored by the BTS. Once this message is processed, users are sent a - confirmation message that they will need to reply to before they are - sent the messages relating to that bug. - - It is also possible to unsubscribe from a bug. Unsubscribing can be - done by sending an email to nnn-unsubscribe@bugs.debian.org. The - subject and body of the email are again ignored by the BTS. Users will - be sent a confirmation message which they must reply to if they wish - to be unsubscribed from the bug. - - By default, the address subscribed is the one found in the From - header. If you wish to subscribe another address to a bug, you will - need to encode the address to be subscribed into the subscription - message. This takes the form of: - nnn-subscribe-localpart=example.com@bugs.debian.org. That example - would send localpart@example.com a subscription message for bug nnn. - The @ sign must be encoded by changing it to an = sign. Similarly, an - unsubscription takes the form - nnn-unsubscribe-localpart=example.com@bugs.debian.org. In both cases, - the subject and body of the email will be forwarded to the email - address within the request for confirmation. - -More-or-less obsolete subject-scanning feature - - Messages that arrive at submit or bugs whose Subject starts Bug#nnn - will be treated as having been sent to nnn@bugs.debian.org. This is - both for backwards compatibility with mail forwarded from the old - addresses, and to catch followup mail sent to submit by mistake (for - example, by using reply to all recipients). - - A similar scheme operates for maintonly, done, quiet and forwarded, - which treat mail arriving with a Subject tag as having been sent to - the corresponding nnn-whatever@bugs.debian.org address. - - Messages arriving at plain forwarded and done - ie, with no bug report - number in the address - and without a bug number in the Subject will - be filed under `junk' and kept for a few weeks, but otherwise ignored. - -Obsolete X-Debian-PR: quiet feature - - It used to be possible to prevent the bug tracking system from - forwarding anywhere messages it received at debian-bugs, by putting an - X-Debian-PR: quiet line in the actual mail header. - - This header line is now ignored. Instead, send your message to quiet - or nnn-quiet (or maintonly or nnn-maintonly). - _________________________________________________________________ - - Debian BTS administrators - - Debian bug tracking system - Copyright © 1999 Darren O.

(If you - are certain that you want the bug marked as not done, use - reopen in conjunction with found.) - - This command was introduced in preference to reopen because it - was difficult to add a version to that command's syntax without - suffering ambiguity. - - notfound bugnumber version - Remove the record that #bugnumber was encountered in the given - version of the package to which it is assigned. - - This differs from closing the bug at that version in that the - bug is not listed as fixed in that version either; no - information about that version will be known.

The use of this command is therefore deprecated. See - the developer's information about how to close a bug properly. - - If you supply a fixed-version, the bug tracking system will - note that the bug was fixed in that version of the package. - - package [ packagename ... ] - Limits the following commands so that they will only apply to - bugs filed against the listed packages. You can list one or - more packages. If you don't list any packages, the following - commands will apply to all bugs.

The owner of a - bug claims responsibility for fixing it. This is useful to - share out work in cases where a package has a team of - maintainers. - - If you wish to become the owner of the bug yourself, you can - use the ! shorthand or specify your own email address. - - noowner bugnumber - Forgets any idea that the bug has an owner other than the usual - maintainer. If the bug had no owner recorded then this will do - nothing. - - #... - One-line comment. The # must be at the start of the line. The - text of comments will be included in the acknowledgement sent - to the sender and to affected maintainers, so you can use this - to document the reasons for your commands. - - quit - stop - thank - thanks - thankyou - thank you - -- - On a line by itself, in any case, possibly followed by - whitespace, tells the control server to stop processing the - message; the remainder of the message can include explanations, - signatures or anything else, none of it will be detected by the - control server. - _________________________________________________________________ - - Debian BTS administrators - - Debian bug tracking system - Copyright © 1999 Darren O.

The subject you give will be - used as the initial bug title in the tracking system, so please try to - make it informative! - - You need to put a pseudo-header at the start of the body of the - message. That means that the first line of the message body should - say: -Package: - - Replace with the name of the package which has the bug. - - The second line of the message should say: -Version: - - Replace with the version of the package. Please don't - include any text here other than the version itself, as the bug - tracking system relies on this field to work out which releases are - affected by the bug. - - You need to supply a correct Package line in the pseudo-header in - order for the bug tracking system to deliver the message to the - package's maintainer. See this example for information on how to find - this information. - - The pseudo-header fields should start at the very start of their - lines. - - Please include in your report: - * The exact and complete text of any error messages printed or - logged. This is very important! - * Exactly what you typed or did to demonstrate the problem. - * A description of the incorrect behaviour: exactly what behaviour - you were expecting, and what you observed. A transcript of an - example session is a good way of showing this. - * A suggested fix, or even a patch, if you have one. - * Details of the configuration of the program with the problem. - Include the complete text of its configuration files. - * The versions of any packages on which the buggy package depends. - * What kernel version you're using (type uname -a), your shared C - library (type ls -l /lib/libc.so.6 or dpkg -s libc6 | grep - ^Version), and any other details about your Debian system, if it - seems appropriate. For example, if you had a problem with a Perl - script, you would want to provide the version of the `perl' binary - (type perl -v or dpkg -s perl | grep ^Version:). - * Appropriate details of the hardware in your system. If you're - reporting a problem with a device driver please list all the - hardware in your system, as problems are often caused by IRQ and - I/O address conflicts. - - Include any detail that seems relevant -- you are in very little - danger of making your report too long by including too much - information. If they are small please include in your report any files - you were using to reproduce the problem (uuencoding them if they may - contain odd characters etc.). - - For more advice on how to help the developers solve your problem, - please read How to Report Bugs Effectively. - -Example - - A bug report, with mail header, looks something like this: - To: submit@bugs.debian.org - From: diligent@testing.linux.org - Subject: Hello says `goodbye' - - Package: hello - Version: 1.3-16 - - When I invoke `hello' without arguments from an ordinary shell - prompt it prints `goodbye', rather than the expected `hello, world'. - Here is a transcript: - - $ hello - goodbye - $ /usr/bin/hello - goodbye - $ - - I suggest that the output string, in hello.c, be corrected. - - I am using Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, kernel 2.2.17-pre-patch-13 - and libc6 2.1.3-10. - -Sending copies of bug reports to other addresses - - Sometimes it is necessary to send a copy of a bug report to somewhere - else besides debian-bugs-dist and the package maintainer, which is - where they are normally sent. - - You could do this by CC'ing your bug report to the other address(es), - but then the other copies would not have the bug report number put in - the Reply-To field and the Subject line. When the recipients reply - they will probably preserve the submit@bugs.debian.org entry in the - header and have their message filed as a new bug report. This leads to - many duplicated reports. - - The right way to do this is to use the X-Debbugs-CC header. Add a line - like this to your message's mail header: - X-Debbugs-CC: other-list@cosmic.edu - - This will cause the bug tracking system to send a copy of your report - to the address(es) in the X-Debbugs-CC line as well as to - debian-bugs-dist. - - Avoid sending such copies to the addresses of other bug reports, as - they will be caught by the checks that prevent mail loops. There is - relatively little point in using X-Debbugs-CC for this anyway, as the - bug number added by that mechanism will just be replaced by a new one; - use an ordinary CC header instead. - - This feature can often be combined usefully with mailing quiet -- see - below. - -Severity levels - - If a report is of a particularly serious bug, or is merely a feature - request that, you can set the severity level of the bug as you report - it. This is not required, however, and the developers will assign an - appropriate severity level to your report if you do not. - - To assign a severity level, put a line like this one in the - pseudo-header: -Severity: - - Replace with one of the available severity levels, as - described in the developers' documentation. - -Assigning tags - - You can set tags on a bug as you are reporting it. For example, if you - are including a patch with your bug report, you may wish to set the - patch tag. This is not required, however, and the developers will set - tags on your report as and when it is appropriate. - - To set tags, put a line like this one in the pseudo-header: -Tags: - - Replace with one or more of the available tags, as described in - the developers' documentation. Separate multiple tags with commas, - spaces, or both. -User: -Usertags: - - Replace with one or more usertags. Separate multiple tags - with commas, spaces, or both. If you specify a , that user's - tags will be set. Otherwise, the e-mail address of the sender will be - used as the username. - -Other pseudo headers (primarily of interest to package maintainers) - -Forwarded: foo@example.com - - will mark the newly submitted bug as forwarded to foo@example.com. See - Recording that you have passed on a bug report in the developers' - documentation for details. -Owner: foo@example.com - - will indicate that foo@example.com is now responsible for fixing this - bug. See Changing bug ownership in the developers' documentation for - details. -Source: foopackage - - the equivalent of Package: for bugs present in the source package of - foopackage; for most bugs in most packages you don't want to use this - option. - - Finally, if your MUA doesn't allow you to edit the headers, you can - set the various X-Debbugs- headers in the pseudo-headers. - -Different submission addresses (minor or mass bug reports) - - If a bug report is minor, for example, a documentation typo or a - trivial build problem, please adjust the severity appropriately and - send it to maintonly@bugs instead of submit@bugs. maintonly will - forward the report to the package maintainer only, it won't forward it - to the BTS mailing lists. - - If you're submitting many reports at once, you should definitely use - maintonly@bugs so that you don't cause too much redundant traffic on - the BTS mailing lists. Before submitting many similar bugs you may - also want to post a summary on debian-bugs-dist. - - If wish to report a bug to the bug tracking system that's already been - sent to the maintainer, you can use quiet@bugs. Bugs sent to - quiet@bugs will not be forwarded anywhere, only filed. - - When you use different submission addresses, the bug tracking system - will set the Reply-To of any forwarded message so that the replies - will by default be processed in the same way as the original report. - That means that, for example, replies to maintonly will go to - nnn-maintonly@bugs instead of nnn@bugs, unless of course one overrides - this manually. - -Acknowledgements - - Normally, the bug tracking system will return an acknowledgement to - you by e-mail when you report a new bug or submit additional - information to an existing bug. If you want to suppress this - acknowledgement, include an X-Debbugs-No-Ack header in your e-mail - (the contents of this header do not matter; however, it must be in the - mail header and not in the pseudo-header with the Package field). If - you report a new bug with this header, you will need to check the web - interface yourself to find the bug number. - - Note that this header will not suppress acknowledgements from the - control@bugs mailserver, since those acknowledgements may contain - error messages which should be read and acted upon. - -Bug reports against unknown packages - - If the bug tracking system doesn't know who the maintainer of the - relevant package is it'll forward the report to debian-bugs-dist even - if maintonly was used. - - When sending to maintonly@bugs or nnn-maintonly@bugs you should make - sure that the bug report is assigned to the right package, by putting - a correct Package at the top of an original submission of a report, or - by using the control@bugs service to (re)assign the report - appropriately first if it isn't correct already. - -Using dpkg to find the package and version for the report - - If you are reporting a bug in a command, you can find out which - package installed it by using dpkg --search. You can find out which - version of a package you have installed by using dpkg --list or dpkg - --status. - - For example: -$ which apt-get -/usr/bin/apt-get -$ type apt-get -apt-get is /usr/bin/apt-get -$ dpkg --search /usr/bin/apt-get -apt: /usr/bin/apt-get -$ dpkg --list apt -Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold -| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed -|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) -||/ Name Version Description -+++-==============-==============-============================================ -ii apt 0.3.19 Advanced front-end for dpkg -$ dpkg --status apt -Package: apt -Status: install ok installed -Priority: standard -Section: base -Installed-Size: 1391 -Maintainer: APT Development Team -Version: 0.3.19 -Replaces: deity, libapt-pkg-doc (<< 0.3.7), libapt-pkg-dev (<< 0.3.7) -Provides: libapt-pkg2.7 -Depends: libapt-pkg2.7, libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libstdc++2.10 -Suggests: dpkg-dev -Conflicts: deity -Description: Advanced front-end for dpkg - This is Debian's next generation front-end for the dpkg package manager. - It provides the apt-get utility and APT dselect method that provides a - simpler, safer way to install and upgrade packages. - . - APT features complete installation ordering, multiple source capability - and several other unique features, see the Users Guide in - /usr/doc/apt/guide.text.gz - _________________________________________________________________ - - Debian BTS administrators - - Debian bug tracking system - Copyright © 1999 Darren O.

Introduction - - The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made - common cause to create a free operating system. - - This document describes the organisational structure for formal - decision-making in the Project. It does not describe the goals of the - Project or how it achieves them, or contain any policies except those - directly related to the decision-making process. - -2. Decision-making bodies and individuals - - Each decision in the Project is made by one or more of the following: - 1. The Developers, by way of General Resolution or an election; - 2. The Project Leader; - 3. The Technical Committee and/or its Chairman; - 4. The individual Developer working on a particular task; - 5. Delegates appointed by the Project Leader for specific tasks; - 6. The Project Secretary. - - Most of the remainder of this document will outline the powers of - these bodies, their composition and appointment, and the procedure for - their decision-making. The powers of a person or body may be subject - to review and/or limitation by others; in this case the reviewing body - or person's entry will state this. In the list above, a person or body - is usually listed before any people or bodies whose decisions they can - overrule or who they (help) appoint - but not everyone listed earlier - can overrule everyone listed later. - - 2.1. General rules - - 1. Nothing in this constitution imposes an obligation on anyone to do - work for the Project. A person who does not want to do a task - which has been delegated or assigned to them does not need to do - it. However, they must not actively work against these rules and - decisions properly made under them. - 2. A person may hold several posts, except that the Project Leader, - Project Secretary and the Chairman of the Technical Committee must - be distinct, and that the Leader cannot appoint themselves as - their own Delegate. - 3. A person may leave the Project or resign from a particular post - they hold, at any time, by stating so publicly. - -3. Individual Developers - - 3.1. Powers - - An individual Developer may - 1. make any technical or nontechnical decision with regard to their - own work; - 2. propose or sponsor draft General Resolutions; - 3. propose themselves as a Project Leader candidate in elections; - 4. vote on General Resolutions and in Leadership elections. - - 3.2. Composition and appointment - - 1. Developers are volunteers who agree to further the aims of the - Project insofar as they participate in it, and who maintain - package(s) for the Project or do other work which the Project - Leader's Delegate(s) consider worthwhile. - 2. The Project Leader's Delegate(s) may choose not to admit new - Developers, or expel existing Developers. If the Developers feel - that the Delegates are abusing their authority they can of course - override the decision by way of General Resolution - see §4.1(3), - §4.2. - - 3.3. Procedure - - Developers may make these decisions as they see fit. - -4. The Developers by way of General Resolution or election - - 4.1. Powers - - Together, the Developers may: - 1. Appoint or recall the Project Leader. - 2. Amend this constitution, provided they agree with a 3:1 majority. - 3. Override any decision by the Project Leader or a Delegate. - 4. Override any decision by the Technical Committee, provided they - agree with a 2:1 majority. - 5. Issue, supersede and withdraw nontechnical policy documents and - statements. - These include documents describing the goals of the project, its - relationship with other free software entities, and nontechnical - policies such as the free software licence terms that Debian - software must meet. - They may also include position statements about issues of the day. - 1. A Foundation Document is a document or statement regarded as - critical to the Project's mission and purposes. - 2. The Foundation Documents are the works entitled "Debian - Social Contract" and "Debian Free Software Guidelines". - 3. A Foundation Document requires a 3:1 majority for its - supersession. New Foundation Documents are issued and - existing ones withdrawn by amending the list of Foundation - Documents in this constitution. - 6. Together with the Project Leader and SPI, make decisions about - property held in trust for purposes related to Debian. (See §9.1.) - - 4.2. Procedure - - 1. The Developers follow the Standard Resolution Procedure, below. A - resolution or amendment is introduced if proposed by any Developer - and sponsored by at least K other Developers, or if proposed by - the Project Leader or the Technical Committee. - 2. Delaying a decision by the Project Leader or their Delegate: - 1. If the Project Leader or their Delegate, or the Technical - Committee, has made a decision, then Developers can override - them by passing a resolution to do so; see §4.1(3). - 2. If such a resolution is sponsored by at least 2K Developers, - or if it is proposed by the Technical Committee, the - resolution puts the decision immediately on hold (provided - that resolution itself says so). - 3. If the original decision was to change a discussion period or - a voting period, or the resolution is to override the - Technical Committee, then only K Developers need to sponsor - the resolution to be able to put the decision immediately on - hold. - 4. If the decision is put on hold, an immediate vote is held to - determine whether the decision will stand until the full vote - on the decision is made or whether the implementation of the - original decision will be delayed until then. There is no - quorum for this immediate procedural vote. - 5. If the Project Leader (or the Delegate) withdraws the - original decision, the vote becomes moot, and is no longer - conducted. - 3. Votes are taken by the Project Secretary. Votes, tallies, and - results are not revealed during the voting period; after the vote - the Project Secretary lists all the votes cast. The voting period - is 2 weeks, but may be varied by up to 1 week by the Project - Leader. - 4. The minimum discussion period is 2 weeks, but may be varied by up - to 1 week by the Project Leader. The Project Leader has a casting - vote. There is a quorum of 3Q. - 5. Proposals, sponsors, amendments, calls for votes and other formal - actions are made by announcement on a publicly-readable electronic - mailing list designated by the Project Leader's Delegate(s); any - Developer may post there. - 6. Votes are cast by email in a manner suitable to the Secretary. The - Secretary determines for each poll whether voters can change their - votes. - 7. Q is half of the square root of the number of current Developers. - K is Q or 5, whichever is the smaller. Q and K need not be - integers and are not rounded. - -5. Project Leader - - 5.1. Powers - - The Project Leader may: - 1. Appoint Delegates or delegate decisions to the Technical - Committee. - The Leader may define an area of ongoing responsibility or a - specific decision and hand it over to another Developer or to the - Technical Committee. - Once a particular decision has been delegated and made the Project - Leader may not withdraw that delegation; however, they may - withdraw an ongoing delegation of particular area of - responsibility. - 2. Lend authority to other Developers. - The Project Leader may make statements of support for points of - view or for other members of the project, when asked or otherwise; - these statements have force if and only if the Leader would be - empowered to make the decision in question. - 3. Make any decision which requires urgent action. - This does not apply to decisions which have only become gradually - urgent through lack of relevant action, unless there is a fixed - deadline. - 4. Make any decision for whom noone else has responsibility. - 5. Propose draft General Resolutions and amendments. - 6. Together with the Technical Committee, appoint new members to the - Committee. (See §6.2.) - 7. Use a casting vote when Developers vote. - The Project Leader also has a normal vote in such ballots. - 8. Vary the discussion period for Developers' votes (as above). - 9. Lead discussions amongst Developers. - The Project Leader should attempt to participate in discussions - amongst the Developers in a helpful way which seeks to bring the - discussion to bear on the key issues at hand. The Project Leader - should not use the Leadership position to promote their own - personal views. - 10. Together with SPI, make decisions affecting property held in trust - for purposes related to Debian. (See §9.1.) - - 5.2. Appointment - - 1. The Project Leader is elected by the Developers. - 2. The election begins nine weeks before the leadership post becomes - vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately. - 3. For the following three weeks any Developer may nominate - themselves as a candidate Project Leader. - 4. For three weeks after that no more candidates may be nominated; - candidates should use this time for campaigning (to make their - identities and positions known). If there are no candidates at the - end of the nomination period then the nomination period is - extended for three further weeks, repeatedly if necessary. - 5. The next three weeks are the polling period during which - Developers may cast their votes. Votes in leadership elections are - kept secret, even after the election is finished. - 6. The options on the ballot will be those candidates who have - nominated themselves and have not yet withdrawn, plus None Of The - Above. If None Of The Above wins the election then the election - procedure is repeated, many times if necessary. - 7. The decision will be made using the method specified in section - §A.6 of the Standard Resolution Procedure. The quorum is the same - as for a General Resolution (§4.2) and the default option is "None - Of The Above". - 8. The Project Leader serves for one year from their election. - - 5.3. Procedure - - The Project Leader should attempt to make decisions which are - consistent with the consensus of the opinions of the Developers. - - Where practical the Project Leader should informally solicit the views - of the Developers. - - The Project Leader should avoid overemphasizing their own point of - view when making decisions in their capacity as Leader. - -6. Technical committee - - 6.1. Powers - - The Technical Committee may: - 1. Decide on any matter of technical policy. - This includes the contents of the technical policy manuals, - developers' reference materials, example packages and the - behaviour of non-experimental package building tools. (In each - case the usual maintainer of the relevant software or - documentation makes decisions initially, however; see 6.3(5).) - 2. Decide any technical matter where Developers' jurisdictions - overlap. - In cases where Developers need to implement compatible technical - policies or stances (for example, if they disagree about the - priorities of conflicting packages, or about ownership of a - command name, or about which package is responsible for a bug that - both maintainers agree is a bug, or about who should be the - maintainer for a package) the technical committee may decide the - matter. - 3. Make a decision when asked to do so. - Any person or body may delegate a decision of their own to the - Technical Committee, or seek advice from it. - 4. Overrule a Developer (requires a 3:1 majority). - The Technical Committee may ask a Developer to take a particular - technical course of action even if the Developer does not wish to; - this requires a 3:1 majority. For example, the Committee may - determine that a complaint made by the submitter of a bug is - justified and that the submitter's proposed solution should be - implemented. - 5. Offer advice. - The Technical Committee may make formal announcements about its - views on any matter. Individual members may of course make - informal statements about their views and about the likely views - of the committee. - 6. Together with the Project Leader, appoint new members to itself or - remove existing members. (See §6.2.) - 7. Appoint the Chairman of the Technical Committee. - The Chairman is elected by the Committee from its members. All - members of the committee are automatically nominated; the - committee votes starting one week before the post will become - vacant (or immediately, if it is already too late). The members - may vote by public acclamation for any fellow committee member, - including themselves; there is no default option. The vote - finishes when all the members have voted, or when the voting - period has ended. The result is determined using the method - specified in section A.6 of the Standard Resolution Procedure. - 8. The Chairman can stand in for the Leader, together with the - Secretary - As detailed in §7.1(2), the Chairman of the Technical Committee - and the Project Secretary may together stand in for the Leader if - there is no Leader. - - 6.2. Composition - - 1. The Technical Committee consists of up to 8 Developers, and should - usually have at least 4 members. - 2. When there are fewer than 8 members the Technical Committee may - recommend new member(s) to the Project Leader, who may choose - (individually) to appoint them or not. - 3. When there are 5 members or fewer the Technical Committee may - appoint new member(s) until the number of members reaches 6. - 4. When there have been 5 members or fewer for at least one week the - Project Leader may appoint new member(s) until the number of - members reaches 6, at intervals of at least one week per - appointment. - 5. If the Technical Committee and the Project Leader agree they may - remove or replace an existing member of the Technical Committee. - - 6.3. Procedure - - 1. The Technical Committee uses the Standard Resolution Procedure. - A draft resolution or amendment may be proposed by any member of - the Technical Committee. There is no minimum discussion period; - the voting period lasts for up to one week, or until the outcome - is no longer in doubt. Members may change their votes. There is a - quorum of two. - 2. Details regarding voting - The Chairman has a casting vote. When the Technical Committee - votes whether to override a Developer who also happens to be a - member of the Committee, that member may not vote (unless they are - the Chairman, in which case they may use only their casting vote). - 3. Public discussion and decision-making. - Discussion, draft resolutions and amendments, and votes by members - of the committee, are made public on the Technical Committee - public discussion list. There is no separate secretary for the - Committee. - 4. Confidentiality of appointments. - The Technical Committee may hold confidential discussions via - private email or a private mailing list or other means to discuss - appointments to the Committee. However, votes on appointments must - be public. - 5. No detailed design work. - The Technical Committee does not engage in design of new proposals - and policies. Such design work should be carried out by - individuals privately or together and discussed in ordinary - technical policy and design forums. - The Technical Committee restricts itself to choosing from or - adopting compromises between solutions and decisions which have - been proposed and reasonably thoroughly discussed elsewhere. - Individual members of the technical committee may of course - participate on their own behalf in any aspect of design and policy - work. - 6. Technical Committee makes decisions only as last resort. - The Technical Committee does not make a technical decision until - efforts to resolve it via consensus have been tried and failed, - unless it has been asked to make a decision by the person or body - who would normally be responsible for it. - -7. The Project Secretary - - 7.1. Powers - - The Secretary: - 1. Takes votes amongst the Developers, and determines the number and - identity of Developers, whenever this is required by the - constitution. - 2. Can stand in for the Leader, together with the Chairman of the - Technical Committee. - If there is no Project Leader then the Chairman of the Technical - Committee and the Project Secretary may by joint agreement make - decisions if they consider it imperative to do so. - 3. Adjudicates any disputes about interpretation of the constitution. - 4. May delegate part or all of their authority to someone else, or - withdraw such a delegation at any time. - - 7.2. Appointment - - The Project Secretary is appointed by the Project Leader and the - current Project Secretary. - - If the Project Leader and the current Project Secretary cannot agree - on a new appointment they must ask the board of SPI (see §9.1.) to - appoint a Secretary. - - If there is no Project Secretary or the current Secretary is - unavailable and has not delegated authority for a decision then the - decision may be made or delegated by the Chairman of the Technical - Committee, as Acting Secretary. - - The Project Secretary's term of office is 1 year, at which point they - or another Secretary must be (re)appointed. - - 7.3. Procedure - - The Project Secretary should make decisions which are fair and - reasonable, and preferably consistent with the consensus of the - Developers. - - When acting together to stand in for an absent Project Leader the - Chairman of the Technical Committee and the Project Secretary should - make decisions only when absolutely necessary and only when consistent - with the consensus of the Developers. - -8. The Project Leader's Delegates - - 8.1. Powers - - The Project Leader's Delegates: - 1. have powers delegated to them by the Project Leader; - 2. may make certain decisions which the Leader may not make directly, - including approving or expelling Developers or designating people - as Developers who do not maintain packages. This is to avoid - concentration of power, particularly over membership as a - Developer, in the hands of the Project Leader. - - 8.2. Appointment - - The Delegates are appointed by the Project Leader and may be replaced - by the Leader at the Leader's discretion. The Project Leader may not - make the position as a Delegate conditional on particular decisions by - the Delegate, nor may they override a decision made by a Delegate once - made. - - 8.3. Procedure - - Delegates may make decisions as they see fit, but should attempt to - implement good technical decisions and/or follow consensus opinion. - -9. Software in the Public Interest - - SPI and Debian are separate organisations who share some goals. Debian - is grateful for the legal support framework offered by SPI. Debian's - Developers are currently members of SPI by virtue of their status as - Developers. - - 9.1. Authority - - 1. SPI has no authority regarding Debian's technical or nontechnical - decisions, except that no decision by Debian with respect to any - property held by SPI shall require SPI to act outside its legal - authority, and that Debian's constitution may occasionally use SPI - as a decision body of last resort. - 2. Debian claims no authority over SPI other than that over the use - of certain of SPI's property, as described below, though Debian - Developers may be granted authority within SPI by SPI's rules. - 3. Debian Developers are not agents or employees of SPI, or of each - other or of persons in authority in the Debian Project. A person - acting as a Developer does so as an individual, on their own - behalf. - - 9.2. Management of property for purposes related to Debian - - Since Debian has no authority to hold money or property, any donations - for the Debian Project must be made to SPI, which manages such - affairs. - - SPI have made the following undertakings: - 1. SPI will hold money, trademarks and other tangible and intangible - property and manage other affairs for purposes related to Debian. - 2. Such property will be accounted for separately and held in trust - for those purposes, decided on by Debian and SPI according to this - section. - 3. SPI will not dispose of or use property held in trust for Debian - without approval from Debian, which may be granted by the Project - Leader or by General Resolution of the Developers. - 4. SPI will consider using or disposing of property held in trust for - Debian when asked to do so by the Project Leader. - 5. SPI will use or dispose of property held in trust for Debian when - asked to do so by a General Resolution of the Developers, provided - that this is compatible with SPI's legal authority. - 6. SPI will notify the Developers by electronic mail to a Debian - Project mailing list when it uses or disposes of property held in - trust for Debian. - -A. Standard Resolution Procedure - - These rules apply to communal decision-making by committees and - plebiscites, where stated above. - - A.1. Proposal - - The formal procedure begins when a draft resolution is proposed and - sponsored, as required. - - A.1. Discussion and Amendment - - 1. Following the proposal, the resolution may be discussed. - Amendments may be made formal by being proposed and sponsored - according to the requirements for a new resolution, or directly by - the proposer of the original resolution. - 2. A formal amendment may be accepted by the resolution's proposer, - in which case the formal resolution draft is immediately changed - to match. - 3. If a formal amendment is not accepted, or one of the sponsors of - the resolution does not agree with the acceptance by the proposer - of a formal amendment, the amendment remains as an amendment and - will be voted on. - 4. If an amendment accepted by the original proposer is not to the - liking of others, they may propose another amendment to reverse - the earlier change (again, they must meet the requirements for - proposer and sponsor(s).) - 5. The proposer or a resolution may suggest changes to the wordings - of amendments; these take effect if the proposer of the amendment - agrees and none of the sponsors object. In this case the changed - amendments will be voted on instead of the originals. - 6. The proposer of a resolution may make changes to correct minor - errors (for example, typographical errors or inconsistencies) or - changes which do not alter the meaning, providing noone objects - within 24 hours. In this case the minimum discussion period is not - restarted. - - A.2. Calling for a vote - - 1. The proposer or a sponsor of a motion or an amendment may call for - a vote, providing that the minimum discussion period (if any) has - elapsed. - 2. The proposer or any sponsor of a resolution may call for a vote on - that resolution and all related amendments. - 3. The person who calls for a vote states what they believe the - wordings of the resolution and any relevant amendments are, and - consequently what form the ballot should take. However, the final - decision on the form of ballot(s) is the Secretary's - see 7.1(1), - 7.1(3) and A.3(4). - 4. The minimum discussion period is counted from the time the last - formal amendment was accepted, or since the whole resolution was - proposed if no amendments have been proposed and accepted. - - A.3. Voting procedure - - 1. Each resolution and its related amendments is voted on in a single - ballot that includes an option for the original resolution, each - amendment, and the default option (where applicable). - 2. The default option must not have any supermajority requirements. - Options which do not have an explicit supermajority requirement - have a 1:1 majority requirement. - 3. The votes are counted according to the rules in A.6. The default - option is "Further Discussion", unless specified otherwise. - 4. In cases of doubt the Project Secretary shall decide on matters of - procedure. - - A.4. Withdrawing resolutions or unaccepted amendments - - The proposer of a resolution or unaccepted amendment may withdraw it. - In this case new proposers may come forward keep it alive, in which - case the first person to do so becomes the new proposer and any others - become sponsors if they aren't sponsors already. - - A sponsor of a resolution or amendment (unless it has been accepted) - may withdraw. - - If the withdrawal of the proposer and/or sponsors means that a - resolution has no proposer or not enough sponsors it will not be voted - on unless this is rectified before the resolution expires. - - A.5. Expiry - - If a proposed resolution has not been discussed, amended, voted on or - otherwise dealt with for 4 weeks the secretary may issue a statement - that the issue is being withdrawn. If none of the sponsors of any of - the proposals object within a week, the issue is withdrawn. - - The secretary may also include suggestions on how to proceed, if - appropriate. - - A.6. Vote Counting - - 1. Each voter's ballot ranks the options being voted on. Not all - options need be ranked. Ranked options are considered preferred to - all unranked options. Voters may rank options equally. Unranked - options are considered to be ranked equally with one another. - Details of how ballots may be filled out will be included in the - Call For Votes. - 2. If the ballot has a quorum requirement R any options other than - the default option which do not receive at least R votes ranking - that option above the default option are dropped from - consideration. - 3. Any (non-default) option which does not defeat the default option - by its required majority ratio is dropped from consideration. - 1. Given two options A and B, V(A,B) is the number of voters who - prefer option A over option B. - 2. An option A defeats the default option D by a majority ratio - N, if V(A,D) is strictly greater than N * V(D,A). - 3. If a supermajority of S:1 is required for A, its majority - ratio is S; otherwise, its majority ratio is 1. - 4. From the list of undropped options, we generate a list of pairwise - defeats. - 1. An option A defeats an option B, if V(A,B) is strictly - greater than V(B,A). - 5. From the list of [undropped] pairwise defeats, we generate a set - of transitive defeats. - 1. An option A transitively defeats an option C if A defeats C - or if there is some other option B where A defeats B AND B - transitively defeats C. - 6. We construct the Schwartz set from the set of transitive defeats. - 1. An option A is in the Schwartz set if for all options B, - either A transitively defeats B, or B does not transitively - defeat A. - 7. If there are defeats between options in the Schwartz set, we drop - the weakest such defeats from the list of pairwise defeats, and - return to step 5. - 1. A defeat (A,X) is weaker than a defeat (B,Y) if V(A,X) is - less than V(B,Y). Also, (A,X) is weaker than (B,Y) if V(A,X) - is equal to V(B,Y) and V(X,A) is greater than V(Y,B). - 2. A weakest defeat is a defeat that has no other defeat weaker - than it. There may be more than one such defeat. - 8. If there are no defeats within the Schwartz set, then the winner - is chosen from the options in the Schwartz set. If there is only - one such option, it is the winner. If there are multiple options, - the elector with the casting vote chooses which of those options - wins. - - Note: Options which the voters rank above the default option are - options they find acceptable.

Murdock - Revised 01/06/94 - - -What is Debian Linux? -===================== - -Debian Linux is a brand-new kind of Linux distribution. Rather than -being developed by one isolated individual or group, as other -distributions of Linux have been developed in the past, Debian is being -developed openly in the spirit of Linux and GNU. The primary purpose -of the Debian project is to finally create a distribution that lives up -to the Linux name. Debian is being carefully and conscientiously put -together and will be maintained and supported with similar care. - -It is also an attempt to create a non-commercial distribution that will -be able to effectively compete in the commercial market. It will -eventually be distributed by The Free Software Foundation on CD-ROM, -and The Debian Linux Association will offer the distribution on floppy -disk and tape along with printed manuals, technical support and other -end-user essentials. All of the above will be available at little more -than cost, and the excess will be put toward further development of -free software for all users. Such distribution is essential to the -success of the Linux operating system in the commercial market, and it -must be done by organizations in a position to successfully advance and -advocate free software without the pressure of profits or returns. - - -Why is Debian being constructed? -================================ - -Distributions are essential to the future of Linux. Essentially, they -eliminate the need for the user to locate, download, compile, install -and integrate a fairly large number of essential tools to assemble a -working Linux system. Instead, the burden of system construction is -placed on the distribution creator, whose work can be shared with -thousands of other users. Almost all users of Linux will get their -first taste of it through a distribution, and most users will continue -to use a distribution for the sake of convenience even after they are -familiar with the operating system. Thus, distributions play a very -important role indeed. - -Despite their obvious importance, distributions have attracted little -attention from developers. There is a simple reason for this: they are -neither easy nor glamorous to construct and require a great deal of -ongoing effort from the creator to keep the distribution bug-free and -up-to-date. It is one thing to put together a system from scratch; it -is quite another to ensure that the system is easy for others to -install, is installable and usable under a wide variety of hardware -configurations, contains software that others will find useful, and is -updated when the components themselves are improved. - -Many distributions have started out as fairly good systems, but as time -passes attention to maintaining the distribution becomes a secondary -concern. A case-in-point is the Softlanding Linux System (better known -as SLS). It is quite possibly the most bug-ridden and badly maintained -Linux distribution available; unfortunately, it is also quite possibly -the most popular. It is, without question, the distribution that -attracts the most attention from the many commercial "distributors" of -Linux that have surfaced to capitalize on the growing popularity of the -operating system. - -This is a bad combination indeed, as most people who obtain Linux from -these "distributors" receive a bug-ridden and badly maintained Linux -distribution. As if this wasn't bad enough, these "distributors" have -a disturbing tendency to misleadingly advertise non-functional or -extremely unstable "features" of their product. Combine this with the -fact that the buyers will, of course, expect the product to live up to -its advertisement and the fact that many may believe it to be a -commercial operating system (there is also a tendency not to mention -that Linux is free nor that it is distributed under the GNU General -Public License). To top it all off, these "distributors" are actually -making enough money from their effort to justify buying larger -advertisements in more magazines; it is the classic example of -unacceptable behavior being rewarded by those who simply do not know -any better. Clearly something needs to be done to remedy the -situation. - - -How will Debian attempt to put an end to these problems? -======================================================== - -The Debian design process is open to ensure that the system is of the -highest quality and that it reflects the needs of the user community. -By involving others with a wide range of abilities and backgrounds, -Debian is able to be developed in a modular fashion. Its components -are of high quality because those with expertise in a certain area are -given the opportunity to construct or maintain the individual -components of Debian involving that area. Involving others also -ensures that valuable suggestions for improvement can be incorporated -into the distribution during its development; thus, a distribution is -created based on the needs and wants of the users rather than the needs -and wants of the constructor. It is very difficult for one individual -or small group to anticipate these needs and wants in advance without -direct input from others. - -Debian Linux will also be distributed on physical media by the Free -Software Foundation and the Debian Linux Association. This provides -Debian to users without access to the Internet or FTP and additionally -makes products and services such as printed manuals and technical -support available to all users of the system. In this way, Debian may -be used by many more individuals and organizations than is otherwise -possible, the focus will be on providing a first-class product and not -on profits or returns, and the margin from the products and services -provided may be used to improve the software itself for all users -whether they paid to obtain it or not. - -The Free Software Foundation plays an extremely important role in the -future of Debian. By the simple fact that they will be distributing -it, a message is sent to the world that Linux is not a commercial -product and that it never should be, but that this does not mean that -Linux will never be able to compete commercially. For those of you who -disagree, I challenge you to rationalize the success of GNU Emacs and -GCC, which are not commercial software but which have had quite an -impact on the commercial market regardless of that fact. - -The time has come to concentrate on the future of Linux rather than on -the destructive goal of enriching oneself at the expense of the entire -Linux community and its future. The development and distribution of -Debian may not be the answer to the problems that I have outlined in -the Manifesto, but I hope that it will at least attract enough -attention to these problems to allow them to be solved. diff --git a/includes/etch/install/doc/mailing-lists.txt b/includes/etch/install/doc/mailing-lists.txt deleted file mode 100644 index 5d4a6ed42..000000000 --- a/includes/etch/install/doc/mailing-lists.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,1673 +0,0 @@ - Introduction to the Debian mailing lists - ======================================== - - Debian GNU/Linux is developed through distributed development all - around the world.

The Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) - part of the contract, initially designed as a set of commitments that - we agree to abide by, has been adopted by the free software community - as the basis of the Open Source Definition. - _________________________________________________________________ - -"Social Contract" with the Free Software Community - - 1. Debian Will Remain 100% Free Software - We promise to keep the Debian GNU/Linux Distribution entirely free - software. As there are many definitions of free software, we - include the guidelines we use to determine if software is "free" - below. We will support our users who develop and run non-free - software on Debian, but we will never make the system depend on an - item of non-free software. - 2. We Will Give Back to the Free Software Community - When we write new components of the Debian system, we will license - them as free software. We will make the best system we can, so - that free software will be widely distributed and used. We will - feed back bug-fixes, improvements, user requests, etc. to the - "upstream" authors of software included in our system. - 3. We Won't Hide Problems - We will keep our entire bug-report database open for public view - at all times. Reports that users file on-line will immediately - become visible to others. - 4. Our Priorities are Our Users and Free Software - We will be guided by the needs of our users and the free-software - community. We will place their interests first in our priorities. - We will support the needs of our users for operation in many - different kinds of computing environment. We won't object to - commercial software that is intended to run on Debian systems, and - we'll allow others to create value-added distributions containing - both Debian and commercial software, without any fee from us. To - support these goals, we will provide an integrated system of - high-quality, 100% free software, with no legal restrictions that - would prevent these kinds of use. - 5. Programs That Don't Meet Our Free-Software Standards - We acknowledge that some of our users require the use of programs - that don't conform to the Debian Free Software Guidelines. We have - created "contrib" and "non-free" areas in our FTP archive for this - software. The software in these directories is not part of the - Debian system, although it has been configured for use with - Debian. We encourage CD manufacturers to read the licenses of - software packages in these directories and determine if they can - distribute that software on their CDs. Thus, although non-free - software isn't a part of Debian, we support its use, and we - provide infrastructure (such as our bug-tracking system and - mailing lists) for non-free software packages. - _________________________________________________________________ - -The Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) - - 1. Free Redistribution - The license of a Debian component may not restrict any party from - selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate - software distribution containing programs from several different - sources. The license may not require a royalty or other fee for - such sale. - 2. Source Code - The program must include source code, and must allow distribution - in source code as well as compiled form. - 3. Derived Works - The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must - allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license - of the original software. - 4. Integrity of The Author's Source Code - The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in - modified form _only_ if the license allows the distribution of - "patch files" with the source code for the purpose of modifying - the program at build time. The license must explicitly permit - distribution of software built from modified source code. The - license may require derived works to carry a different name or - version number from the original software. (This is a compromise. - The Debian group encourages all authors not to restrict any files, - source or binary, from being modified.) - 5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups - The license must not discriminate against any person or group of - persons. - 6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor - The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the - program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not - restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being - used for genetic research. - 7. Distribution of License - The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the - program is redistributed without the need for execution of an - additional license by those parties. - 8. License Must Not Be Specific to Debian - The rights attached to the program must not depend on the - program's being part of a Debian system. If the program is - extracted from Debian and used or distributed without Debian but - otherwise within the terms of the program's license, all parties - to whom the program is redistributed should have the same rights - as those that are granted in conjunction with the Debian system. - 9. License Must Not Contaminate Other Software - The license must not place restrictions on other software that is - distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the - license must not insist that all other programs distributed on the - same medium must be free software. - 10. Example Licenses - The "GPL", "BSD", and "Artistic" licenses are examples of licenses - that we consider "free". - - The concept of stating our "social contract with the free software - community" was suggested by Ean Schuessler. This document was drafted - by Bruce Perens, refined by the other Debian developers during a - month-long e-mail conference in June 1997, and then accepted as the - publicly stated policy of the Debian Project. - - Bruce Perens later removed the Debian-specific references from the - Debian Free Software Guidelines to create "The Open Source - Definition". - - Other organizations may derive from and build on this document.

If a .dsc is provided you can use `dpkg-source -x'. - - -- Ian Jackson Sat, 31 Aug 1996 diff --git a/includes/etch/install/pics/blue-lowerleft.png b/includes/etch/install/pics/blue-lowerleft.png deleted file mode 100644 index 2a2245e45..000000000 Binary files a/includes/etch/install/pics/blue-lowerleft.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/includes/etch/install/pics/blue-lowerright.png b/includes/etch/install/pics/blue-lowerright.png deleted file mode 100644 index 7e6627145..000000000 Binary files a/includes/etch/install/pics/blue-lowerright.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/includes/etch/install/pics/blue-upperleft.png b/includes/etch/install/pics/blue-upperleft.png deleted file mode 100644 index a58d0ecb1..000000000 Binary files a/includes/etch/install/pics/blue-upperleft.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/includes/etch/install/pics/blue-upperright.png b/includes/etch/install/pics/blue-upperright.png deleted file mode 100644 index 2f368493a..000000000 Binary files a/includes/etch/install/pics/blue-upperright.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/includes/etch/install/pics/debian.jpg b/includes/etch/install/pics/debian.jpg deleted file mode 100644 index db62d7a03..000000000 Binary files a/includes/etch/install/pics/debian.jpg and /dev/null differ diff --git a/includes/etch/install/pics/logo-50.jpg b/includes/etch/install/pics/logo-50.jpg deleted file mode 100644 index 542f0a498..000000000 Binary files a/includes/etch/install/pics/logo-50.jpg and /dev/null differ diff --git a/includes/etch/install/pics/red-lowerleft.png b/includes/etch/install/pics/red-lowerleft.png deleted file mode 100644 index caca9c543..000000000 Binary files a/includes/etch/install/pics/red-lowerleft.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/includes/etch/install/pics/red-lowerright.png b/includes/etch/install/pics/red-lowerright.png deleted file mode 100644 index c27056c59..000000000 Binary files a/includes/etch/install/pics/red-lowerright.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/includes/etch/install/pics/red-upperleft.png b/includes/etch/install/pics/red-upperleft.png deleted file mode 100644 index c1e3301cc..000000000 Binary files a/includes/etch/install/pics/red-upperleft.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/includes/etch/install/pics/red-upperright.png b/includes/etch/install/pics/red-upperright.png deleted file mode 100644 index 54d17cafd..000000000 Binary files a/includes/etch/install/pics/red-upperright.png and /dev/null differ diff --git a/includes/etch/install/tools/README b/includes/etch/install/tools/README deleted file mode 100644 index bc56f934f..000000000 --- a/includes/etch/install/tools/README +++ /dev/null @@ -1,13 +0,0 @@ -/debian/tools contains MS-DOS tools for installing and booting Linux. - -fips20.zip Non-destructively split harddisk partitions (works with FAT32) -gzip124.exe gzip for DOS -lodlin16.zip load Linux kernel from DOS -rawrite1.zip rawrite version 1.3 (rawrite 2.0 is much faster, but -rawrite2.zip rawrite version 2.0 it locks up on some machines.) -unz512x3.exe Info-ZIP's free UnZipper for DOS -rwwrtwin.zip Win32 version of rawrite runs on Windows 95, NT, 98, 2000, - ME, XP and probably later versions. -diskio.zip Under 95, 98 & ME you need diskio.dll.
