[Drbd-dev] Debian and DRBD cooperation

Hi,

As the Debian maintainer of the DRBD packages, I have forwarded 4 bugs
to you in the last few months and I still haven't received any news so
far.

Could you please have a look at those bugs:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?source=drbd0.7#_1_4_5
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?source=drbd0.7#_1_6_5

and tell me what's still in progress and what's already fixed?

I would really like the Debian and DRBD teams to work together.

Regards.

these links do not work.
but if I go to bugs.debian.org, and search by package for drbd0.7,
I find exactly three bugs all of them classified as wishlist,
two of them regarding how to package it (which is a debian internal
thing), and one of them (the only "forwarded" one) about how to adjust
the debian/rules file, which is also debian internal.

> and tell me what's still in progress and what's already fixed?

if these are in fact the only ones, I don't know it they are fixed,
since they cannot be fixed by us but have to be fixed debian internally.

> I would really like the Debian and DRBD teams to work together.

there are even people at debian who have full access to the debian/
subdir on svn.drbd.org (where we have our linbit "debian" rules and stuff,
as far as we understand how to do those), but never used it;
seem to prefer to get the drbd.tar.gz without the debian subdir, and
apply the debian internal debian/* stuff.

so, how can I further help you with this?

#308640: /sbin/drbdsetup: doesn't work with x86_64 kernel
  fixed; was broken because of a minor glitch between versions.
	 we now have compile time asserts in place so this is
         unlikely to ever happen again.

#337210: drbd0.7-utils: man page of drbdsetup is wrong
  fixed;
         example section has been removed/replaced with a url pointer to
         examples on the web -- which may or may not be correct ;)

#337242: drbd0.7-utils: Wrong argument supplied to drbdsetup
  bogus; the "you must not give an index with internal" is correct
	 for the drbd.conf syntax. because it _implies_ the -1 on the drbdsetup
	 commandline. whatever the problem of the reporter was, this is not it.

> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=drbd0.7#_1_6_5

#357298: drbd: fix building for x86_64 on i386 
	has to be fixed debian internally, I think, in case it still
	applies.

all of these have been dealt with very quickly
on drbd-user when first reported there.

cheers,

Thanks.

I've processed all the bugs we got from Debian users. There's only one
left and it's a Debian-internal stuff, we are working on it, should be
fixed later this week.

Maybe I missed something but I got no answer to those bug reports :

I've forwarded 4 bugs to DRBD that are still in need of feedback from
you:

Forwarded bugs -- Normal bugs (3 bugs)

  • #308640: /sbin/drbdsetup: doesn't work with x86_64 kernel
    Package: drbd0.7-utils (0.7.10-3); Reported by: Patrice Fournier
    <pfournier@loups.net>; Forwarded to drbd-user@lists.linbit.com; 1 year and
    101 days old.
  • #337210: drbd0.7-utils: man page of drbdsetup is wrong
    Package: drbd0.7-utils (drbd0.7-utils 0.7.11-1); Reported by: Yann Forget
    <yann.forget@goelaan.ch>; Forwarded to drbd-user@linbit.com; 291 days old.
  • #337242: drbd0.7-utils: Wrong argument supplied to drbdsetup
    Package: drbd0.7-utils (drbd0.7-utils 0.7.11-1); Reported by: Yann Forget
    <yann.forget@goelaan.ch>; Forwarded to drbd-user@linbit.com; 290 days old.

Forwarded bugs -- Wishlist items (1 bug)

  • #357298: drbd: fix building for x86_64 on i386
    Package: drbd0.7; Severity: wishlist; Reported by: Guido Guenther
    <agx@sigxcpu.org>; Tags: patch; Forwarded to drbd-user@lists.linbit.com;
    157 days old.

None of them are about `debian/rules'.

All of them have been sent several months ago and I'm still waiting to
receive feedback from you.

> there are even people at debian who have full access to the debian/

This debian/ directory is not part of Debian, this is not official and
not even included in the DRBD tarballs.

We are not using it in the official distribution as I've said many
many times on the mailing list. I've adviced you to remove it from
svn, it thought it was already removed a long time ago.

This is the normal way to make Debian packages, we take upstream
tarballs and we patch them to add our debian/ subdir. If we have to
patch something outside debian/, we contribute our patches to
upstream. If something outside debian/ is buggy, we forward our bugs
to upstream.

Anyone can contribute to the official Detail packages, please follow
the instructions at http://bugs.debian.org/

I'll be glad to receive feedback from anyone about our (my?) Debian
packages.

> so, how can I further help you with this?

Read the bugs I've forwarded to you:

http://bugs.debian.org/308640
http://bugs.debian.org/337210
http://bugs.debian.org/337242
http://bugs.debian.org/357298

And give me feedback.

Thanks
