Description: dockable clock applet for various window managers
 Lal is a clock for the dock. Nothing more, nothing less. It is a very
 simple tool especially helpful for those that are using openbox. It
 can use various colors, sizes, formats, etc. It can accept any POSIX
 date format.

Note: Version 1.1 is currently sitting in the upload queue. I am hoping
to finish version 2.0 within a few months that will come with many new
features such as a calendar. One goal of the new version will be to check
through the code to see if this tiny file can be stripped down at all to
make it even more light weight.
I'm working with the upstream authors to bring this release which is why
I refer to anticipated features for this version.

lxc in squeeze

Hello

Will lxc be supported by in the default kernel in squeeze?

Everything I have read (including <http://wiki.debian.org/LXC>) says
it should be supported in kernels 2.6.26 and higher, but the 2.6.32
kernel fails a config check ("Cgroup memory controller").

definition of contrib & buildd inconsistency


Hello All:

The definition of the contrib section of the archive reads [0]

   Examples of packages which would be included in contrib are:

       * free packages which require contrib, non-free packages or packages
         which are not in our archive at all for compilation or execution,

There is apparently an ambiguity here since a contrib package can depend 
on non-free in two distinct ways:

  1. depends only at runtime, for example a non-free Perl or Python module.

  2. depends at build time and runtime, for example a package which needs
     non-free libraries to be built and linked to.

Which is the correct interpretation?  If both are included, then all 
buildds MUST include non-free sources.  This is not currently the case. 
If only 1 is included in the definition for contrib, then any package 
which falls in category 2 MUST be moved to non-free.

Personally, I have no preference as to the interpretation but the current 
state, where some of the buildds do not include non-free sources and 
contrib packages can fall under both the categories listed above is 
inconsistent and needs to be resolved.

An alternative which would remove the inconsistency is to make the 
decision that contrib packages will not be built by the officeial buildd

* License         : CeCILL
  Programming Lang: Scilab
  Description     : A Scilab library of space flight dynamics functions

 CelestLab is a library of space flight dynamics functions written in Scilab.
 This library has been developed and is maintained by the CNES (Centre National
 d'Etudes Spatiales) for mission analysis purposes. The library is used by CNES
 for the trajectory analysis and orbit design for various type of missions.
 CelestLab gathers in ten modules about 200 functions that allow mission
 designers to perform various tasks such as: orbit propagation, attitude
 computation, elementary manoeuvre computation, change of reference frames,
 change of coordinates, three body orbit analysis. CelestLab has been validated
 against the CNES flight dynamics reference software. Selected examples from
 mission analysis typical studies are provided in the CelestLab help pages.

 and uses OpenGL (Mesa) for graphics.

=== Notes : ===

  * that vrml viewer was in debian long time ago but went away... 

  * upstream is still active , and many efforts are done 
    by my friend Michel of myosotis project
    to made it available to debian/ubuntu users also  ...

So I am trying to help and hope we (co-maintainers) can get it back 
into debian's main and ubuntu as well

  * I just set up a git repo on debian's alioth
   (pkg-multimedia team which IMHO fits best)

The Point-to-Point Protocol provides a standard way to transmit
datagrams over a serial link, as well as a standard way for the machines
at either end of the link to negotiate various optional characteristics
of the link.

This package provides both a server and a client PPP daemon that runs in
userland. It has been ported from FreeBSD to function specifically with
the Debian GNU/kFreeBSD distribution.

  Description     : Commit patches to Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, Subversion, or CVS repositories

 Normally version control systems don't allow fine grained
 commits. commit-patch allows the user to control exactly what gets
 committed by letting the user supply a patch to be committed rather than
 using the files in the current working directory.

 Also included is an Emacs interface to commit-patch. It allows you to just
 hit C-c C-c in any patch buffer to apply and commit only the changes
 indicated by the patch, regardless of the changes in your working
 directory.
