In this issue: + Updates of major desktop environments + Alioth updated to lenny and FusionForge 4.7 + wiki.debian.org migrated to MoinMoin 1.7 + Tidbits from the wanna-build team + RFH: Removing spam from the listarchive + Groupware discussion list Updates of major desktop environments ------------------------------------- The three major desktop environments in Debian have been updated or will be updated these days. Xfce 4.6[1] has already been uploaded to unstable, as KDE 4.2.2[2]. GNOME 2.26[3] will follow in the following days. -- Yves-Alexis Perez [1] http://www.xfce.org [2] http://www.kde.org [3] http://www.gnome.org Alioth updated to lenny and FusionForge 4.7 ------------------------------------------- Alioth.debian.org (aka the VCS/collaborative development server) has been upgraded to Lenny. The gforge installation has switched to !FusionForge 4.7 and fixes lots of small annoying details. If you encounter any problem with the services, please open a support ticket[4] on the siteadmin project. If you're experiencing SSH timeouts on Alioth, chances are that your SSH client is misconfigured. Alioth uses fail2ban, which sets up firewall rules to drop traffic coming from IP addresses with too frequent login failures as logged by the SSH daemon. That includes cases where your SSH client tries to connect with a key that's not registered in your account, even if the correct key is sent afterwards. The fix is simple: either register your key in your Alioth account preferences, or configure a stanza[5] (in .ssh/config) to only send the appropriate key. You'll even save a few milliseconds on each login! -- Raphael Hertzog and Roland Mas [4] https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=add&group_id=1&atid=200001 [5] http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/SSH wiki.debian.org migrated to MoinMoin 1.7 ---------------------------------------- The DSA and the DebianWiki team[6] have migrated wiki.debian.org to MoinMoin 1.7, which brings many new features. The wiki is now hosted on a new machine, the hardware and bandwidth are sponsored by Dembach Goo Informatics[7]. Also, it is now possible to use https to securely login into the wiki. For more information see the announcement page[8]. -- Stefano Zacchiroli [6] http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianWiki [7] http://www.dg-i.net/ [8] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianWiki/MigratedToMoinmoin17 Tidbits from the wanna-build team --------------------------------- The wanna-build team announced a new contact address for wanna-build requests and other issues relating to autobuilding: debian-wb-team@lists.debian.org. They also announced that Kurt Roeckx has now access to modifying the wanna-build database for all architectures and not only amd64. http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2009/03/msg00096.html -- Adeodato Simó Furthermore the buildds are being upgraded to a sbuild version that is nearer to the current version in the archive. New buildds have been added to powerpc, hppa and i386. For more information please see: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2009/04/msg00537.html -- Philipp Kern RFH: Removing spam from the listarchive --------------------------------------- As you all know, Lists and the Listarchive aren't 100% Spam-free. So we provide a 'Report as Spam' on every page in the archive. Now we set up a system to review those nominations, as it turned out that also inappropriate or controversial postings have been reported. If you want to help us to get rid of the Spam from the archive, go to [9] and follow the instructions. You need a @debian.org-Mailadress to participate. If you don't have one, you can help us by reviewing the Listarchive[10] itself and press the 'Report as Spam'-Button. We also maintain a Wiki-Page[11] for Details and coordination. -- Cord Beermann [9] http://lists.debian.org/archive-spam-removals/review/ [10] http://lists.debian.org/ [11] http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/ListMaster/ListArchiveSpam Groupware discussion list ------------------------- In order to improve discussion and colaboration between Debian's groupware[12] developers a mailing list[13] has been created. If you're maintaining (or are interested in) a groupware related client or server package in Debian, please subscribe[14]. The intention is to have a single place where e.g. new versions can be announced so interoperability testing can be done. -- Guido Günther [12] http://wiki.debian.org/Groupware [13] mailto:calendarserver-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org [14] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/calendarserver-discuss -- Raphaël Hertzog Contribuez à Debian et gagnez un cahier de l'admin Debian Lenny : http://www.ouaza.com/wp/2009/03/02/contribuer-a-debian-gagner-un-livre/
