Diane's World http://woldlab.caltech.edu/~diane/index.cgi I take the 5th en Pidentd http://woldlab.caltech.edu/~diane/index.cgi/geek/debian/netlink_lookup-2005-11-12-21-22.html

I was looking at the log files and discovered that pidentd was throwing error messages about netlink_lookup: write failed: Connection refused

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=305926

Seems to suggest that adding the module should make it shut up.

So I added the following to /etc/modules # tcp_diag may shut pidentd up about netlink_lookup: write failed tcp_diag

]]> Matplotlib http://woldlab.caltech.edu/~diane/index.cgi/geek/debian/matplotlib-2004-06-14-17-03.html I managed to feed matplotlib into svn-buildpackage.

svn-inject -o loaded it into the archive

svn-update worked though it took a try or two for it to create all the directories that it wanted.

svn-buildpackage works reasonably well.

After svn-update I fixed the changelog a little and then was able to build the package.

lintian complaining about several things.

  • installing \*.pyc files
  • copyright
  • dependencies
  • description

However I managed to fix all of them

Next question should I store the tarball in svn and if so where?
