This is an automated report about activity of our newsgroup
comp.os.linux.announce. It covers period between the 
previous report and the current one, ending 
on Mon Jul 26 00:05:01 CDT 2004.

Note that we do not report the number of articles cancelled
after they got approved, because the cancellations are done
manually. Typically messages get cancelled by requests of
posters themselves.

Lastly, the statistics below are skewed towards higher numbers because
there are always some test messages from moderators themselves who
approve and reject them to make sure that our robomoderator functions
properly.

UN Report: open source software key to bridging digital divide

In short: In the third edition of its E-Commerce and Development Report, th=
e
UN Conference on Trade and Development identified the implications of the
growth of the digital economy for developing countries.


Brief news: The UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) published
its 228-pages "E-Commerce and Development Report 2003" on 20 November 2003.
The report highlights opportunities and problems as regards the growth of
the Internet and the development of information and communication
technologies (ICT) for the developing countries. The report is also designe=
d
to contribute to the debates at the World Summit on the Information Society
which will take place in Geneva from 10-12 December 2003.  Key messages of
the 2003 annual report are as follows:  the gap between developed and
developing countries (the 'digital divide') in the use of ICT remains wide;
around 50 per cent of all email messages in circulation by the end of 2003
could be unsolicited emails (commonly known as spam), costing the world mor=
e
than 17.5 billion euro in wasted technical resources;  the use of free and
open-source software offers many benefits to developing countries and can b=
e
"a means of bridging the digital divide";  business process outsourcing fro=
m
developed to developing countries such as India, Brazil, China and others i=
s
a growing market and offers large economic opportunities for developing
countries;  the Internet can be used by developing countries to market thei=
r
agricultural exports;  the developing countries should also promote and
facilitate online dispute resolution as an alternative to national
litigation.

Hash: SHA1

GLPK 4.5 -- Release Information
===============================

Release date: Jul 19, 2004

GLPK (GNU Linear Programming Kit) is intended for solving large-scale
linear programming (LP), mixed integer linear programming (MIP), and
other related problems. It is a set of routines written in ANSI C and
organized in the form of a callable library.

In 4.5:

The branch-and-bound solver was completely re-implemented using new
data structures. The new implementation provides the same functionality
as the old one (with exception that fixing by reduced costs was added as
a feature).

Memory allocation routines (umalloc, ucalloc, ufree) were modified in
order to allow compiling the package on 64-bit platforms.

See GLPK web page at <http://www.gnu.org/software/glpk/glpk.html>.

GLPK distribution can be ftp'ed from <ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glpk/> or
from some mirror ftp sites; see <http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html>.

MD5 check-sum is the following:

b6c35f6831d779c53b1eb60ad9769dbe *glpk-4.5.tar.gz

GLPK is also available as a Debian GNU/Linux package. See its web page
at <http://packages.debian.org/stable/math/glpk.html>.

Debian Weekly News - July 20th, 2004
===========================================================================

Welcome to this year's 28th issue of DWN, the weekly newsletter for
the Debian community. The University of Zaragoza in Spain [1]plans to
distribute 50,000 copies of their [2]distribution which is based on
Debian GNU/Linux and utilises the GNOME desktop. NewsForge took a
[3]look at the upcoming release of Linux Standard Base 2.0.

  3. http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/07/09/2342211

General Resolution to force AMD64 into Sarge? Josselin Mouette
[4]proposed a general resolution to force the pure AMD64 port into
the release of sarge and its immediate inclusion into the unstable
distribution. It's not clear to everybody on the list, though, that
this is the [5]right way to get this port [6]accepted into Debian
nor help with the [7]release of sarge etc.

Debian is increasing it's Market Share. Netcraft is [8]reporting that
Debian shows market share gains among GNU/Linux distributions while
Gentoo currently has the fastest percentage growth rate. Debian
GNU/Linux is now running on more than 1 million web-facing hostnames,
showing particular strength among French service providers Gandi (72
thousand hostnames) and Proxad (58.8 thousand).

  8. http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2004/07/12/slight_linux_market_share_loss_for_red_hat.html

Incorporating upstream CVS Fixes. Tommaso Moroni [9]wondered how he
is supposed to incorporate a bugfix in the package which upstream has
corrected only in CVS. Matthew Palmer [10]explained that unless the
bugfix is very large and invasive, the best way is to pick the changes
out of CVS and apply them to the Debian package. Robert Collins
[11]added that [12]cscvs can help identify changesets with CVS.

  12. http://packages.debian.org/cscvs

Library Version Naming. Roland Stigge [13]reported that he is
struggling with the upstream convention of incorporating the package
version into the library name (soname) and wanted to know how to
proceed. Daniel Kobras [14]suggested to get versioning sanitized
upstream and pointed to the [15]library packaging guide.

GNUstep Policy Violation. Dan Weber [16]reported that many packages
associated with GNUstep are in violation with the [17]Filesystem
Hierarchy Standard since they install binaries, documentation, etc in
/usr/lib/GNUstep. Sebastian Ley [18]explained that the OpenStep
directory layout is not compliant with the FHS layout, although they
share similar design principles. Andreas Barth [19]suggested dealing
with it after the release of sarge.

GNU Compiler Collection 3.4 in unstable. Matthias Klose [20]announced
his plan to upload gcc-3.4 packages to unstable. For some
architectures the binary interface has been changed, so compiled code
must not be mixed with compiled code from older versions of G++.

  20. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/07/msg00806.html

Installing apt-listchanges as Default. Joey Hess [21]wondered why
[22]apt-listchanges is still not installed on default. Matt Zimmerman
was [23]concerned that the priorities of apt-listchanges' dependencies
would have to be raised. David Weinehall [24]explained that only the
priorities of [25]ucf and [26]python-apt would need to be bumped to
standard.

New License for POSIX Manpages. Andre Lehovich [27]reported that the
upstream maintainer for manpages has received permission from IEEE to
include text from the POSIX documentation in Linux manual pages and
wondered if the new license is compatible with the [28]Debian Free
Software Guidelines (DFSG). Nathanael Nerode [29]believes that the
license is not free enough and Andrew Suffield is [30]undecided.

Free Software Printing Summit. Roger Leigh sent in a [31]report from
the Free Software Printing Summit that was held during this year's LSM
in Bordeaux where he was representing both Gimp-Print and Debian. An
interesting discussion addressed multilingual PPD files. Another
discussion included colour management for unprintable colours.

  31. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/07/msg00904.html

Listmaster Bits and Bytes. Pascal Hakim sent in new [32]bits from the
listmasters. He explained how crossassassin and the new [33]white-list
works. He anticipated that the new list server which is currently in
preparation will allow us to run more stringent anti-spam checks. He
also reported about new and modified mailing lists.

New Package Status Summaries. Ian Lynagh [34]announced a new
[35]package build status page and another [36]package status page. The
first one contains links to logs from failed build attempts and
provides a summary of package build attempts.

Status Update for GNOME in Sarge. Jordi Mallach [37]reported that all
critical bits of GNOME are in sarge now, but there are still some
packages like [38]gnome-panel that still need to transition. All of
the remaining stuff is waiting on [39]gst-plugins0.8, which should be
ready for testing but which depends on the new version of [40]libxml2,
that isn't being built on hppa due to a binutils/gcc/whatever bug.

Packaging Hardware Emulators. Dan Korostelev [41]wondered why
[42]visualboyadvance, a Game Boy Advance emulator, is only in contrib
in woody since it is free itself and only depends on free libraries.
There are also free (as in freedom) rom files for it available on the
Internet, but not in Debian. Branden Robinson [43]cited the
requirements for packages in main. In sid, however, this package is
already in main.

  43. http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/07/msg00275.html

Dealing with different Freenesses. Zenaan Harkness [44]noticed that
there are different definitions of free, at least "FSF-free" and
"DFSG-free". He wondered what would it take to provide to the user the
option to choose between these definitions when it comes to packages
they wish to install. Michael Poole [45]explained that there are two
significant and unavoidable costs to provide this feature: The
infrastructure support for it and the policy work for it.

  45. http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/07/msg00023.html

Security Updates. You know the drill. Please make sure that you update
your systems if you have any of these packages installed.

  * [46]ethereal -- Denial of service.
  * [47]netkit-telnet-ssl -- format string vulnerability.
  * [48]l2tpd -- Buffer overflow.

unstable Debian archive [49]recently or contain important updates.

  49. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/newpkg_main

  * [50]abuse -- SDL port of the Abuse action game.
