Or a portmanteau instead of an initialism: SUP(plementary re)POSITORY.

DSA is debian-sys-anal, right?

[all candidates] What is your price? (was: [all candidates] how to choose Jessie init system)

Hello candidates,

as a non-DD I have no (official) rights to vote on the DPL position.

It is therefore very important for me to evaluate alternative ways of
influencing Debian to my liking and my (even though limited) life-experience
tells me that while I got a life for free, everything else can be brought
(and at times even must be bought if you want it your way).

So my simple question is: What is your price?

Lucas already answered this question partly, still a more in-depth
response would be appreciated, so this question goes indeed to all.

Thanks to all of you for running for this important position,
answering all these questions and good luck in the upcoming vote!

How to convert dm-status to new way?

Hi,

how can I convert my debian-maintainer status to the new ftp-master solicited
way? I've heard, dput-ng might be delivering a format that I might be able to
hand out to a sponsor, right?

Is that dput-ng --restore-old-privileges | mail -s "I want my kitten back" <spponsor-address>?

Of course, that's not even close for debian-curiosa, so I'll put in a link of a
video that I'd been almost part of: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2U7n3upkQew>.

TGIF,
  Stefan ;).

Debian Food Planet

Hello,

in the wave of "let's have interesting non-technical posts on Planet"
(I welcome Russ Allbery's recently added book reviews feed), I was
thinking of kitchen recipes.

I'm trying to get in the habit of blogging[1] interesting recipes I try,
so that I can find them later, and I'm sure there are other Debianers
who post about what they cook. We're many, and from all places, so if we
aggregated that, we'd likely get a very interesting multi-cultural, real
life home cooking feed.

I'm not sure flooding planet.debian.org with recipes is a good idea, but
would it be easy to add another config file somewhere to have a
"food-planet.debian.org -- from the people who run the one and only
Cheese and Wine BOF"?

Ciao,

sobre como inclinar mi pantalla de forma virtual.

hola listeros debianeros.

jugando con las teclas en windows me di cuenta que con ALTGR + alguna
flecha. la pantalla se inclina en 90 grados a la izquierda o derecha.
inclusive se puede rotar la imagen de pantalla 180 grados. en este
caso el mouse funcionaria al reves.

pues bien, ya con esa introducción quisiera saber si alguien tiene
experiencia exitosa logrando rotar no solo de forma lógica sino
tambien física.

hay algunos monitores que tienen la opcion de empotrado, tienen unos
agujeritos para el rack. y uno elige si lo pone en forma vertical u
horizontal.

esto de la pantalla vertical es una ventaja.

en todos los portales. se necesita correr hacia abajo la pantalla
muchas veces. el que el monitor este inclinado representaria más
contenido visual en forma vertical y una persepción más agradable. la
que tienen los libros, las revistas, las columnas de los periodicos
etc.

para leer correos eso seria un gran avance porque se podria leer un
correo extenso sin necesidad de darle para abajo con el scroll del
mouse.

y ya se podran imaginar la inmensa ventaja que esto representaria para
el uso de la terminal. los manuales estarian explicados en forma más
compacta y en teoria en la pantalla entraria 60 por ciento más
contenido. debido a que poseeria casi el doble de lineas.

tengo el caso de mi vecino que usa dos pantallas. eso es posible y no
es una novedad.

lo ideal sería. una pantalla horizontal para ver peliculas de alta
definición y la otra pantalla para usar la terminal. ambas empotradas
en la pared frente al escritorio de cada uno.

List threads mentioning /tmp to be deleted at boot time

Dear developers,

to save disk space I'm suggesting to delete all threads which mention '/tmp' in
the Subject within the debian-devel and debian-curiosa archives at boot time. So
this will happen with the next point release which ships a new kernel image or
with the next security update of the kernel in Squeeze.

I'm assuming that the listmasters share my opinion, so discussing this is not
necessary. If you think it is necessary, well feel free to do.

Giving the deletion of this message into the hands of the kernel maintainers and
DSA - best regards,

Bernd

IANAL but that is a very nice logo you have there...

I don't read Italian(?) but the pictures are pretty - at least the logo is 
similar to something I know of...
