<page title="Debian Weekly News #17 -- April 29th, 2003">

<p>Welcome to this year's 17th issue of DWN, the weekly newsletter for the
Debian community. Robin Miller published an <a
href="http://newsforge.com/newsforge/03/04/19/2128256.shtml">article</a> on
Newsforge in which he discusses why programmers write Free Software. Another
<a
href="http://cybernaut.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=8">\
article</a> on Cybernaut covers the same topic but comes to different
conclusions. Readers discuss both articles on <a
href="http://slashdot.org/articles/03/04/26/1417247.shtml">Slashdot</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Removal of Pike 0.6 and Roxen 1.3.</strong> Turbo Fredriksson <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0304/msg01540.html">reported</a>
that he had discussed removing Pike version 0.6 with Marek Habersack, its
maintainer. Pike version 0.6 and 7.0 include severe problems and are already
superseded by 7.2 and 7.4. Roxen 1.3 requires Pike 0.6, though. Hence, Pike
0.6 and Roxen 1.3 will be removed from testing and unstable. Users of Roxen
1.3 are strongly encouraged to switch to Caudium, which should work as a drop-in
replacement.</p>

<p><strong>Debian Free Software License?</strong> Jörg Wendland <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal-0304/msg00199.html">wondered</a> if
a license exists that is modelled after the <a
href="$(HOME)/social_contract#guidelines">Debian Free Software Guidelines</a>
(DFSG) and which reflects the DFSG and Debian's sense of Free Software in
general. Henning Makholm <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal-0304/msg00216.html">explained</a>
that people can usually agree about whether a given license is free or not.
But there is nothing like consensus about which of the many ways to construct
a free license is the "best".</p>

<p><strong>Proposed Statement about the GNU FDL.</strong> Anthony Towns
proposed a <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal-0304/msg00246.html">\
statement</a> on the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html">GNU Free
Documentation License</a> (FDL). In November 2002, the version 1.2 of the GNU
FDL was released by the <a href="http://www.fsf.org/">Free Software
Foundation</a> after a long period of consultation. Unfortunately, some
concerns raised by members of the Debian Project were not addressed, and as
such the GNU FDL can apply to works that do not pass the DFSG.</p>

<p><strong>Installing Debian over a remote GNU/Linux System.</strong> This <a
href="http://trilldev.sourceforge.net/files/remotedeb.html">document</a>
explains the steps required to change the operating system running on a
remote system to Debian. The process uses <code>ssh</code> to connect and
depends upon the availability of the <code>chroot</code> environment whilst
installing. The writer details how he remotely converted a Red Hat system
into a Debian system, although it should be applicable under any GNU/Linux
variant and possibly other similar systems.</p>

<p><strong>Debian-Ham 0.5 released.</strong> A new <a
href="http://debianham.sunsite.dk/">Debian-Ham</a> was finally released with
the latest tlf (0.8.19) and cwdaemon as a keyer. Debian-Ham is a two floppy
distribution that targets HAM radio users and is specifically designed for
contesting and logging. The current scheme uses a LILO boot floppy with a
minix root floppy. Network support is included to connect to a DX cluster.</p>

<p><strong>Eliminating Extensions in Program Filenames.</strong> Following an
earlier <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-policy-0304/msg00031.html">\
discussion</a> on the topic, Joey Hess <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-policy-0304/msg00047.html">proposed</a> a
change in the Debian <a href="$(HOME)/doc/debian-policy/">policy</a> so that
when scripts are installed into a directory in the system <code>PATH</code>,
the script name should not include an extension such as <code>.sh</code> or
<code>.pl</code>. Such language extensions create problems when a program is
reimplemented and make it harder to type command names. They also look
unprofessional and go against the Unix tradition.</p>

<p><strong>PEAR packages in Debian?</strong> Piotr Roszatycki <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0304/msg01090.html">wondered</a>
which steps need to be taken to get packages from the <a
href="http://pear.php.net/">PHP Extension and Application Repository</a>
(PEAR) included in Debian. PEAR is a framework and distribution system for
reusable PHP components. Steve Langasek <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0304/msg01106.html">proposed</a> to
use a structure similar to Perl module packaging.</p>

<p><strong>Translating Debian Hints.</strong> Joel Baker <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0304/msg01762.html">reported</a>
that the package fortunes-debian-hints that contains hints for using Debian
entered testing already. He was wondering whether there is a way to do
translations of the fortune data, without having to have localized packages.
Andreas Tille <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0304/msg01834.html">mentioned</a>
the way fortunes-de is packaged which puts the German cookies at the right
place.</p>

<p><strong>Libpng Package Updates.</strong> Josselin Mouette <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0304/msg01880.html">reported</a>
about problems caused by recently uploaded libpng packages. The libpng12
packages are a rename of the libpng3 ones, while the libpng10 are the former
libpng2 ones. The reason why there are still 2 versions on the system is that
gdk-imlib1 and Gnome 1 are still linked to libpng2 on other major
distributions. In order to preserve binary compatibility with them, our
gdk-imlib1 is still linked with libpng2.</p>

<p><strong>Debian to drop Support for i386?</strong> Jochen Friedrich <a
href="http://bugs.debian.org/185662">noticed</a> that due to GCC 3.2 the new
libstdc++5 library requires an 80486 processor or higher, the old 80386 on
which Linux was started, is not supported anymore. Hence, Matthias Klose <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0304/msg01895.html">wondered</a> if
Debian should further support the i386 target.</p>

<p><strong>Booting Debian from a USB Stick.</strong> Matthias Müller set up a
<a href="http://rz-obrian.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/knoppix-usb/">document</a> in
which he describes how to configure a pc and modify <a
href="http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/">Knoppix</a> to allow booting off of the
USB stick containing a <a
href="http://www.knoppix.net/docs/index.php/KnoppixCustomizations">\
stripped</a> down GNU/Linux system. You'll have to modify the boot image so
all relevant usb-modules get loaded and the system sleeps some time, because
the modules need some time to recognize your USB Memory stick.</p>

<p><strong>Packing another Init System?</strong> Joachim Breitner <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0304/msg02050.html">wondered</a> if
the time has come to package <code>simpleinit</code>. Miquel van Smoorenburg
has <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0304/msg02025.html">\
split</a> off <code>sysv-rc</code> of <code>sysvinit</code>, so other
mechanisms can easier be supported. Ted T'so <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0304/msg02121.html">added</a> that
one big problem about Richard Gooch's simpleinit is that it is functionally
very different from the standard System V init scripts that Debian uses.</p>

<p><strong>Rewrite of grep-dctrl.</strong> Antti-Juhani Kaijana <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0304/msg02128.html">reported</a>
that he is in the process of rewriting grep-dctrl. The <a
href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/dctrl-tools">rewrite</a> attempts to
gain speed over the old version while removing one of the greatest defects in
the old code. The new grep-dctrl will be able to combine searches in full
boolean manner. He is seeking testers for the new code and supplied a CVS
location.</p>

<p><strong>Lock in Software.</strong> In a guest <a
href="http://www.linuxandmain.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=332">\
article</a> Brendan Scott discussed the term "proprietary software" which is
often used as the opposite of Free Software. In his opinion, GPLed software
is as "proprietary" as software under an end user license agreement. Only the
licensor owns the software. However, Free Sofware grants the user much more
rights. He proposed an alternative, more appropriate, term "lock in
software". Other terms, including hostageware, are identified, but not
adopted.</p>

<p><strong>Against Software Patents in Europe.</strong> The Eurolinux
initiative <a href="http://swpat.ffii.org/briefe/parl034/index.en.html">\
wrote</a> that the European Parliament is likely to ratify a Software Patent
Directive ("Directive on the Patentability of Computer-Implemented
Inventions"), possibly with helpful amendments, in May 2003. As a stakeholder
in software development, you have opportunities to participate. Your
participation can have a decisive influence. Together with the <a
href="http://www.fsfeurope.org/projects/swpat/swpat">FSF Europe</a> they ask
for your participation.</p>

<p><strong>Python Volunteers for AGNULA wanted.</strong> The FSF Europe is <a
href="http://mail.fsfeurope.org/pipermail/announce/2003-April/000043.html">\
looking</a> for volunteers to replace a non-free <a
href="http://fsfeurope.org/projects/agnula/java">component</a> of A GNU/Linux
Audio Distribution (AGNULA), two entirely Free Software GNU/Linux
distributions for professional audio users based upon Debian GNU/Linux and
RedHat, with Free Software. That application is jMax, a visual programming
environment for building interactive musical and multimedia applications.
The most likely solution of this problem seems the creation of a
Python-based Free Software GUI for jMax for which volunteers are needed.</p>

<p><strong>Trusted Debian released.</strong> The version 1.0 of Trusted Debian has
been <a href="http://www.trusteddebian.org/press.html">announced</a> The
project was started in October 2002 with a beta release in March 2003. <a

is not Debian and does not have any direct relation with the Debian project.
The <a href="http://www.trusteddebian.org/motivation.html">aim</a> of the
project is to provide a highly secure but usable GNU/Linux platform.</p>

<p><strong>【去除可執行程序文件的擴展名】</strong>基於以前對同一主題的<a

，Joey Hess 提出了一個修改 Debian <a href="$(HOME)/doc/debian-policy/">\
policy</a> 的<a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-policy-0304/msg00047.html">建議</a>，\
要求當腳本文件被安裝到系統 <code>PATH</code> 中的目錄時，腳本文件的名稱中不應\
含有如 <code>.sh</code> 或 <code>.pl</code> 之類的擴展名。這些表明語言的擴展\
名會在（用其他語言）重寫該可執行程序時造成麻煩，而且也使得命令名更難輸入。另外，\
它們看起來很不專業，也不符合 Unix 的傳統。</p>

該更新囉...目前是1.14版..

多謝提醒，已經更新到 1.14 版了，這也應該是最後的版本了（可能還會有文字上的修改，但内容應該已經全了）。

我現在開始整理大家翻譯的結果了，我會做一些格式上的修改，例如中英文之間的空格（以及位置，比如空格應該放在 <code> 和 </code> 的外面），行尾的防止多餘空格的 \，以及把很長的一行斷成短行。

如果對我的格式修改有意見，或是願意自己修改的，請發言。 我會開新主題放置譯文。
