Debian Weekly News #30 -- July 25th, 2006
久違的 DWN 中文版又來了!之前因為 Debian 伺服器遭到入侵導致到現在都還沒有辦法存取 CVS 所以無法更新到網頁上,但還是會繼續在 Blog 張貼最新 DWN!
歡迎閱讀本年度第三十期的 DWN,每週 Debian 社群快訊。 Christoph Berg 寫了一個工作的綜覽頁面 packages overview。他也宣佈倉儲已經搬到 Subversion,提交通知現在是直接由套件追蹤系統管理。
【DzongkhaLinux 啟動】 Debian 計畫宣佈釋出 DzongkhaLinux,一個基於 Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 的發行版,已經被本地化為不丹國語。這個系統由一片可以用來安裝亦可以當作 LiveCD 的光碟組成。不丹的資訊工業部門選擇 Debian 是因為它的功能齊全、可靠度和保證永遠是 100% 的自由軟體。
【統一 SSL 證書】 Jaldhar Vyas 想知道是否應該讓所有使用到 SSL 認證的套件統一使用 ssl-cert 套件中的 snake oil 證書。Petter Reinholdtsen 解釋說 Debian-Edu 已經自動設定好一些使用 SSL 認證的服務,這樣的改變會讓這個工作更簡單。
【處理 Stable 中的文件問題】 Osamu Aoki 要求替臭蟲追蹤系統增加 faq
標籤。很多時候關於 stable 的臭蟲回報是屬於常被問的問題,解答卻是被藏在不明顯的位置。關閉這樣的報告或是將其標示為
wontfix
聽起來不甚合理。
【管理計畫的資產】 Manoj Srivastava 提出針對 Debian 組織章程的修正案並尋求協助。這將使章程符合現在的需求以及管理各種財產的需要,允許加入或除去現在授權可以掌握 Debian 資產的合夥組織。
【套件追蹤系統升級】 Raphaël Hertzog 報告現在套件追蹤系統可以用來轉送衍生發行版的資訊。這使得對套件有興趣的人可以收到個別的小補釘,而不是合在一起的一大坨補釘。此外他也在徵求對新功能的幫助。
【釋出現況更新】 Marc Brockschmidt 對於 etch釋出現況所作的評論。他澄清釋出目標的意思並且要求開發者們努力降低影響到釋出進度的重大問題數量。臭蟲碾碎派對將在世界各地舉行。即將釋出的版本將使用 4.0 版號,並且可能會包含 Python 2.4、Linux 2.6.17 或更新、X.org 和大部分 sarge 支援的平台加上 AMD64。
【結束 /usr/doc 過渡期】 Amaya Rodrigo Sastre 要求一個半自動的方法再一次測試套件庫以確定沒有任何套件安裝符號連結至
/usr/doc
。Stefan Hühner 建議使用現有的 lintian 檢查。Joey Hess 證實這正是當初他用來回報臭蟲的方法,Luk Claes 補充說 piuparts 也對這樣的檢查很有幫助。
【Debian Installer 釋出 Beta 3】 Frans Pop 宣佈debian-installer 的第三個 beta 版已經釋出,Linux 2.6.16 已經包含在在 etch。他解釋安裝程式要求更多記憶體是因為加上了加密支援,這會在 beta 之後繼續改進,另外一個原因就是支援更多的語言。
【標示加強過的 CD/DVD】 Radu-Cristian Fotescu 想知道如何標示以凸顯出加強過的 sarge CD 不是官方原始的版本。MJ Ray 指出官方的標記只能用在官方的 CD 上,而改變過的 CD 應該標示為非官方
。
