<p>Willkommen zur 44. Ausgabe der DWN in diesem Jahr, dem wöchentlichen
Newsletter der Debian-Gemeinschaft. Anibal Monsalve Salazar <a
href="http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebConf5Meeting20041101";>\
fasste</a> das letzte DebConf5-Vorbereitungstreffen zusammen. Joey Hess <a
href="http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/_and_all_through_the_house-2004-10-28-03-15.html";>\
berichtete</a>, dass er in der Lage gewesen sei, den neuen <a
href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-installer/">Debian-Installer</a> entfernt über das Netz
auf verschiedenen Architekturen zu testen, was sicherzustellen helfe, dass er
vernünftig arbeite.</p>
<p><strong>Verteilbare Firmware gesucht.</strong> Theo de Raadt, berühmt durch <a
href="http://www.openbsd.org/";>OpenBSD</a>, wurde als Reaktion auf das
<a href="http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/4061";>Bemühen</a> von OpenBSD, Texas Instruments
#HK: wireless cards? Funkkarten? drahtlosen Karten?
anzusprechen, um die Firmware für ihre Funk-Karten unter einer akzeptablen
Lizenz zu verteilen, <a href="http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/4118";>interviewt</a>.
OpenBSD hat ähnliche <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0404/msg00309.html";>Probleme</a>
wie Debian mit rein binären Firmware-Objekten, die sie nicht legal mit ihrem
Betriebssytem verteilen dürfen.</p>
<p><strong>Namenskonventionen für Alioth-Projekte.</strong> Marcelo E. Magallon <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/11/msg00113.html";>bemerkte</a>
#HK: policy -> Regel ?
dass es eine Regel für die Benennung von Projekten auf <a
href="http://alioth.debian.org/";>Alioth</a> gebe. Für Paket-Repositories, die
verwendet werden, um ein Paket mit anderen Entwicklern zusammen zu verwalten,
ist ein »pkg-«-Vorspann im Projektnamen notwendig. Roland Mas ergänzte, dass
dies benötigt werde um in der Lage zu sein, Projekte, die sich dem Paketieren in
Debian widmenten, von Projekten, bei denen Alioth das Ursprungs-Repository sei,
zu unterscheiden.</p>

<p><strong>Lizenzen für Freie Dokumentation.</strong> Jonathan Corbet
<a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/108250/";>bespricht</a> verschiedene Optionen
für eine Lizenz für freie Dokumentation, darunter die GNU
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html";>Free Documentation License</a>
(FDL), die <a href="http://opencontent.org/openpub/";>Open Publication License</a>,
und zwei <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/";>Creative</a> <a
href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/";>Commons</a>-Lizenzen. Er
folgerte, dass es einigen Sinn mache, eine BSD-artige Lizenz einem Dokument
hinzuzufügen, und dass die von der FDL auferlegten Einschränkungen recht stark
sein, zu stark für ein Buch dessen Mitautor er sei.</p>
<p><strong>Installation von Debian auf einem Arbeitsplatzrechner.</strong> Tarun Agnani <a
href="http://www.linuxtimes.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=211";>\
installierte</a> Debian GNU/Linux auf einem Arbeitsplatzrechner und berichtete,
dass keine andere Distribution Debian nahe käme, welches der alte Großvater von
Linux sei. Er <a
href="http://www.linuxtimes.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=211&page=2";>\
schloss</a> mit der Konfiguration von APT und der Installtion solcher Anwendungen,
die für einen Arbeitsplatzrechner typisch sein.</p>
<p><strong>Neuigkeiten von deutschen Konferenzen.</strong> Alexander »CEO« Schmehl <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-events-eu/2004/11/msg00000.html";>\
berichtete</a>, dass der Debian-Stand während der diesjährigen <a
href="$(HOME)/events/2004/1026-lwe">Linuxworld Expo</a> der am meisten überlaufende
gewesen sei, und dass der Stand im nächsten Jahr voraussichtlich größer sein werde.
Er werde voraussichtlich im nächsten Jahr beim Aufbau des gesamten .Org-Pavillions
helfen. Für die CeBIT-Ausstellung im nächsten Jahr (9.-15. März) wurde dem Debian-Projekt
ebenfalls ein eigener Stand angeboten.</p>
<p><strong>Debian auf RAID 1 installieren.</strong> Jorrit Waalboer hat <a
href="http://juerd.nl/site.plp/debianraid";>Anweisungen</a> für die Installation
von Debian GNU/Linux auf einem RAID 1-Plattenpaar geschrieben. Er empfahl,
<a href="http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/";>Knoppix</a> als Installationsprogramm zu
verwenden. Danach werde das RAID aufgesetzt und <code>debootstrap</code> zur
Installation von Debian verwendet. Norbert Tretkowski erstellte ebenfalls
eine <a href="http://www.inittab.de/manuals/debootstrap.html";>Anleitung</a>, um
Debian via Knoppix zu installieren.</p>
<p><strong>Den Debian-Entwicklungsprozess verbessern.</strong> Thomas Schorpp <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2004/11/msg00000.html";>schlug vor</a>,
mehrere Qualitätsmanagement-Techniken, die aus konventioneller Softwareentwicklung
bekannt sein, auf Debian anzuwenden. Jeroen van Wolffelaar <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2004/11/msg00023.html";>bemerkte</a> allerdings
eine große Anzahl an Schlagworten und es sei <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2004/11/msg00022.html";>fragwürdig</a>,
ob diese Techniken und Metriken auf Freie Software überhaupt anwendbar sein.</p>
<p><strong>Aktualisierungen zur Systemsicherheit.</strong> Die alte Leier!
Wer die folgenden Pakete einsetzt, sollte sie der Sicherheit wegen
auf den neuesten Stand bringen:</p>
<ul>
<li>DSA 583: <a href="$(HOME)/security/2004/dsa-583">lvm10</a> --
Unsicheres temporäres Verzeichnis.
<li>DSA 584: <a href="$(HOME)/security/2004/dsa-584">dhcp</a> --

<li>DSA 585: <a href="$(HOME)/security/2004/dsa-585">shadow</a> --

<li>DSA 591: <a href="$(HOME)/security/2004/dsa-591">libgd2</a> --

</ul>

<page title="Debian Weekly News #44 -- November 9th, 2004">
<p>Welcome to this year's 44th issue of DWN, the weekly newsletter for the
Debian community. Anibal Monsalve Salazar <a
href="http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?DebConf5Meeting20041101";>\
summarised</a> the latest DebConf5 preparation meeting. Joey Hess <a
href="http://kitenet.net/~joey/blog/entry/_and_all_through_the_house-2004-10-28-03-15.html";>\
reported</a> that he has been able to test the new <a
href="$(HOME)/devel/debian-installer/">debian-installer</a> remote via network
on different architectures which helps ensure that it will run properly.</p>
<p><strong>Distributable Firmware sought.</strong> Theo de Raadt of <a
href="http://www.openbsd.org/";>OpenBSD</a> fame was <a
href="http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/4118";>interviewed</a> in response to
OpenBSD's <a href="http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/4061";>effort</a> to contact
Texas Instruments to distribute firmware for their wireless cards under an
acceptable license. OpenBSD has similar <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0404/msg00309.html";>problems</a>
to Debian with binary-only firmware blobs that they cannot legally
distribute with their operating system.</p>
<p><strong>Alioth Project Naming Convention.</strong> Marcelo E. Magallon <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2004/11/msg00113.html";>noticed</a>
that there is a policy for naming projects on <a
href="http://alioth.debian.org/";>Alioth</a>. For package repositories that are
used to co-maintain a package with other developers, a "pkg-" prefix in
the project name is required. Roland Mas added that this is required to be
able to differentiate projects dedicated to Debian packaging from projects
where Alioth is the main repository of "upstream" code.</p>
# From: Andre Lehovich <andrel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
<p><strong>Free Documentation Licenses.</strong> Jonathan
Corbet <a href="http://lwn.net/Articles/108250/";>reviewed</a>
various options for a free documentation
license, including the GNU
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html";>Free Documentation License</a>
(FDL), the <a href="http://opencontent.org/openpub/";>Open Publication License</a>,
and two <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/";>Creative</a> <a
href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/";>Commons</a> licenses.
He concluded that putting a BSD-like license on a document makes some sense
and that the restrictions imposed by the FDL are quite strong, too strong for
a book he co-authored.</p>
<p><strong>Installing Debian on a Desktop.</strong> Tarun Agnani <a
href="http://www.linuxtimes.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=211";>\
installed</a> Debian GNU/Linux on a desktop computer and reported that no
other distribution comes close to Debian, which is the old grandfather of
Linux. He <a
href="http://www.linuxtimes.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=211&page=2";>\
finishes</a> with configuring APT and installing those applications that are
common for a Desktop system.</p>
<p><strong>German Conference News.</strong> Alexander "CEO" Schmehl <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-events-eu/2004/11/msg00000.html";>\
reported</a> that the Debian booth during this year's <a
href="$(HOME)/events/2004/1026-lwe">Linuxworld Expo</a> was the most crowded
one and that the booth will probably be larger next year. He will help build
the entire .Org pavilion next year. For next year's CeBIT exhibition (Mar
9-15) the Debian project has been offered a booth of their own as well.</p>
<p><strong>Installing Debian on RAID 1.</strong> Jorrit Waalboer has written <a
href="http://juerd.nl/site.plp/debianraid";>instructions</a> for installing
Debian GNU/Linux on a RAID 1 pair. He recommended using <a
href="http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/";>Knoppix</a> as the installer.
From this the RAID is set up and <code>debootstrap</code> is used to install
Debian. Norbert Tretkowski also provides <a
href="http://www.inittab.de/manuals/debootstrap.html";>instructions</a> on
installing Debian via Knoppix.</p>
<p><strong>Improving the Development Processes.</strong> Thomas Schorpp <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2004/11/msg00000.html";>proposed</a>
applying several quality management techniques known in conventional software
development to Debian. Jeroen van Wolffelaar <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2004/11/msg00023.html";>noticed</a> a
high level of buzzwords, though, and it is <a
href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2004/11/msg00022.html";>questionable</a>
if these techniques and metrics apply to Free Software at all.</p>
<p><strong>Security Updates.</strong> You know the drill. Please make sure
that you update your systems if you have any of these packages installed.</p>

<li>DSA 583: <a href="$(HOME)/security/2004/dsa-583">lvm10</a> --
