+This is one of the CD-ROMs of the
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian GNU/Linux</a>
+distribution. Debian is a
+very extensive collection of software. But it is more. It is a complete
+Operating System (OS) for your computer. And it is
+<A href="http://www.debian.org/intro/free">free</A>
+(as in "freedom").
+<P>
+An operating system is the set of basic programs
+and utilities that make your computer run. At the core of an operating
+system is the kernel. The kernel is the most fundamental program on the
+computer, which does all the basic housekeeping and lets you start other
+programs.
+Debian is kernel independent. It currently uses the
+<A href="http://www.linux.org/">Linux</A> kernel but work is
+in progress to provide Debian for other kernels, using
+<A href="http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd.html">the Hurd</A>.
+Most of the basic operating system tools
+come from the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/">GNU project</A>; hence the name
+GNU/Linux.
+<P>
+
+Debian is available for various kinds of computers
+("architectures"), like
+"IBM-compatible" PCs (<i>i386</i>),
+Compaq's <i>Alpha</i>,
+Motorola's 680x0 (<i>m68k</i>),
+Sun's <i>Sparc</i>,
+Motorola/IBM's <i>PowerPC</i>, and <i>(Strong)ARM</i> processors.

+This CD-ROM is labeled
+<P>
+<tt>
+ Debian GNU/Linux testing "Etch" - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1
+</tt>
+<P>
+
+which means that this CD is number 1 of 1 CDs containing

+<P>
+The programs on the Binary CDs are ordered by popularity. The Binary-1 CD
+contains the most popular programs and the installation tools; it is possible
+to install and run Debian with only the Binary-1 CD. The other CDs, up to
+Binary-1, contain mostly special-interest programs.

+ Because Debian is a complete Operating System, the installation procedure

+
+
+ <P>
+ For the impatient ones:
+
+
+

+ You can also
+
+
+
+ examine the

+ After installing or upgrading, Debian's packaging system can use CD-ROMs,

+<h1 align="center">Debian worldwide mirror sites</h1>
+<p>Debian is distributed (<em>mirrored</em>) on hundreds of
+servers on the Internet. Using a nearby server will probably speed up your
+download, and also reduce the load on our central servers and on the
+Internet as a whole.
+
+<p>Debian mirrors can be primary and secondary. The definitions are as follows:
+
+ <blockquote>
+ A <strong>primary mirror</strong> site has good bandwidth, is available 24 hours a day,
+ and has an easy to remember name of the form ftp.<country>.debian.org.
+ <br>
+ Additionally, most of them are updated automatically after updates to the
+ Debian archive. The Debian archive on those sites is normally available
+ using both FTP and HTTP protocols.
+
+ </blockquote>
+ <blockquote>
+ A <strong>secondary mirror</strong> site may have restrictions on what they mirror (due to
+ space restrictions). Just because a site is secondary doesn't necessarily
+ mean it'll be any slower or less up to date than a primary site.
+
+ </blockquote>
+<p>Use the site closest to you for the fastest downloads possible whether it is
+
+a primary or secondary site. The program
+<a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/netselect">
+<em>netselect</em></a> can be used to
+determine the site with the least latency; use a download program such as
+
+<a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/web/wget">
+<em>wget</em></a> or
+<a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/net/rsync">
+<em>rsync</em></a> for determining the site with the most throughput.
+Note that geographic proximity often isn't the most important factor for
+determining which machine will serve you best.
+
+<p>The authoritative copy of the following list can always be found at:
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/mirror/list"> http://www.debian.org/mirror/list</a>.<br>
+If you know of any mirrors that are missing from this list,
+please have the site maintainer fill out the form at:
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/mirror/submit"> http://www.debian.org/mirror/submit</a>.<br>

+ Debian worldwide mirror sites
+ -----------------------------
+
+Debian is distributed (mirrored) on hundreds of
+servers on the Internet. Using a nearby server will probably speed up your
+download, and also reduce the load on our central servers and on the
+Internet as a whole.
+
+Debian mirrors can be primary and secondary. The definitions are as follows:
+
+ A primary mirror site has good bandwidth, is available 24 hours a day,
+ and has an easy to remember name of the form ftp.<country>.debian.org.
+ Additionally, most of them are updated automatically after updates to the
+ Debian archive. The Debian archive on those sites is normally available
+ using both FTP and HTTP protocols.
+
+ A secondary mirror site may have restrictions on what they mirror (due to
+ space restrictions). Just because a site is secondary doesn't necessarily
+ mean it'll be any slower or less up to date than a primary site.
+
+Use the site closest to you for the fastest downloads possible whether it is
+a primary or secondary site. The program `netselect' can be used to
+determine the site with the least latency; use a download program such as
+`wget' or `rsync' for determining the site with the most throughput.
+Note that geographic proximity often isn't the most important factor for
+determining which machine will serve you best.
+
+The authoritative copy of the following list can always be found at:
+ http://www.debian.org/mirror/list
+If you know of any mirrors that are missing from this list,
+please have the site maintainer fill out the form at:
+ http://www.debian.org/mirror/submit
+Everything else you want to know about Debian mirrors:

+ Welcome to the exciting world of
+ Debian GNU/Linux!
+
+Intro
+=====
+
+ This is one of the CD-ROMs of the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.
+ Debian is a very extensive collection of software. But it is more. It
+ is a complete Operating System (OS) for your computer. And it is free
+ (as in "freedom").
+
+ An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that
+ make your computer run. At the core of an operating system is the
+ kernel. The kernel is the most fundamental program on the computer,
+ which does all the basic housekeeping and lets you start other
+ programs. Debian is kernel independent. It currently uses the Linux
+ kernel but work is in progress to provide Debian for other kernels,
+ using the Hurd. Most of the basic operating system tools come from the
+ GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.
+
+ Debian is available for various kinds of computers ("architectures"),
+ like "IBM-compatible" PCs (i386), Compaq's Alpha, Motorola's 680x0
+ (m68k), Sun's Sparc, Motorola/IBM's PowerPC, and (Strong)ARM
+ processors. Check the ports page (http://www.debian.org/ports) for
+ more information.
+
+ Read more at
+
+ http://www.debian.org/intro/about
+
+
+About This CD
+=============
+
+ This CD-ROM is labeled
+
+ Debian GNU/Linux testing "Etch" - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1
+
+ which means that this CD is number 1 of 1 CDs containing programs
+ ("binaries") for `i386' computers.
+
+ The programs on the Binary CDs are ordered by popularity. The Binary-1
+ CD contains the most popular programs and the installation tools; it
+ is possible to install and run Debian with only the Binary-1 CD. The
+ other CDs, up to Binary-1, contain mostly special-interest programs.
+
+ The Release Notes for "etch" are available on the Debian web site.
+
+
+Installing
+==========
+
+ Because Debian is a complete Operating System, the installation
+ procedure may seem a bit unusual. You can install Debian GNU/Linux
+ either alongside your current OS, or as the only OS on your computer.
+
+ An Installation Guide for this CD is available from the Debian web
+ site.
+
+ Programs and other files that are needed for the installation can be
+ found on this CD under
+
+ /tools/ and /install/floppy/
+
+ For the impatient ones: you can start the installation program easily
+ by booting off this CD-ROM. Note that not all (esp. older) systems
+ support this.
+
+ You can also examine the
+
+ /install
+
+ directory; you might be able to start the installation system directly
+ from there.
+
+
+Last-Minute Notes
+=================
+
+ * You should keep in mind that this is an unofficial CD of the
+ current development version of the Debian system. This means that
+ all sorts of bugs may be present anywhere in the system.
+
+
+
+Using Apt
+=============
+
+ After installing or upgrading, Debian's packaging system can use
+ CD-ROMs, local collections, or networked servers (FTP, HTTP) to
+ automatically install software from (.deb packages). This is done
+ preferably with the `apt' and `aptitude' programs.
+
+ You can install packages from the commandline using apt-get. For
+ example, if you want to install the packages `commprog' and `maxgame',
+ you can give the command
+
+ apt-get install commprog maxgame
+
+ Note that you don't have to enter the complete path, or the `.deb'
+ extension. `Apt' will figure this out itself.
+
+ Or use aptitude for a full screen interactive selection of available
+ Debian packages.
+
+
+CD Manufacturers
+================
+
+ You are completely free to manufacture and re-distribute CD-ROMs of
+ the Debian GNU/Linux Operating System, like this one. There is no
+ charge from us (but of course donations are always welcome).
+
+ For all needed information and contact addresses, please refer to
+

+<h2><a name="s-whatisfaq"></a>1.1 What is this FAQ?</h2>
+
+<p>
+This document gives frequently asked questions (with their answers!) about the
+Debian distribution (Debian GNU/Linux and others) and about the Debian project.
+If applicable, pointers to other documentation will be given: we won't quote
+large parts of external documentation in this document. You'll find out that
+some answers assume some knowledge of Unix-like operating systems. We'll try
+to assume as little prior knowledge as possible: answers to general beginners
+questions will be kept simple.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you can't find what you're looking for in this FAQ, be sure to check out <a
+href="ch-support.en.html#s-debiandocs">What other documentation exists on and
+for a Debian system?, Section 11.1</a>. If even that doesn't help, refer to <a
+href="ch-faqinfo.en.html#s-feedback">Feedback, Section 15.2</a>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-whatisdebian"></a>1.2 What is Debian GNU/Linux?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux is a particular <em>distribution</em> of the Linux operating
+system, and numerous packages that run on it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In principle, users could obtain the Linux kernel via the Internet or from
+elsewhere, and compile it themselves. They could then obtain source code for
+many applications in the same way, compile the programs, then install them into
+their systems. For complicated programs, this process can be not only
+time-consuming but error-prone. To avoid it, users often choose to obtain the
+operating system and the application packages from one of the Linux
+distributors. What distinguishes the various Linux distributors are the
+software, protocols, and practices they use for packaging, installing, and
+tracking applications packages on users' systems, combined with installation
+and maintenance tools, documentation, and other services.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux is the result of a volunteer effort to create a free,
+high-quality Unix-compatible operating system, complete with a suite of
+applications. The idea of a free Unix-like system originates from the GNU
+project, and many of the applications that make Debian GNU/Linux so useful were
+developed by the GNU project.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For Debian, free has the GNUish meaning (see the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines">Debian Free Software
+Guidelines</a></code>). When we speak of free software, we are referring to
+freedom, not price. Free software means that you have the freedom to
+distribute copies of free software, that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Debian Project was created by Ian Murdock in 1993, initially under the
+sponsorship of the Free Software Foundation's GNU project. Today, Debian's
+developers think of it as a direct descendent of the GNU project.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux is:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>full featured</strong>: Debian includes more than 15400 software
+packages at present. Users can select which packages to install; Debian
+provides a tool for this purpose. You can find a list and descriptions of the
+packages currently available in Debian at any of the Debian <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist">mirror sites</a></code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>free to use and redistribute</strong>: There is no consortium
+membership or payment required to participate in its distribution and
+development. All packages that are formally part of Debian GNU/Linux are free
+to redistribute, usually under terms specified by the GNU General Public
+License.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Debian FTP archives also carry approximately 450 software packages (in the
+<samp>non-free</samp> and <samp>contrib</samp> sections), which are
+distributable under specific terms included with each package.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>dynamic</strong>: With about 1649 volunteers constantly contributing
+new and improved code, Debian is evolving rapidly. New releases are planned to
+be made every several months, and the FTP archives are updated daily.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Although Debian GNU/Linux itself is free software, it is a base upon which
+value-added Linux distributions can be built. By providing a reliable,
+full-featured base system, Debian provides Linux users with increased
+compatibility, and allows Linux distribution creators to eliminate duplication
+of effort and focus on the things that make their distribution special. See <a
+href="ch-redistrib.en.html#s-childistro">I am making a special Linux
+distribution for a "vertical market". Can I use Debian GNU/Linux for
+the guts of a Linux system and add my own applications on top of it?, Section
+13.3</a> for more information.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-linux"></a>1.3 OK, now I know what Debian is... what is Linux?!</h2>
+
+<p>
+In short, Linux is the kernel of a Unix-like operating system. It was
+originally designed for 386 (and better) PCs; today Linux also runs on a dozen
+of other systems. Linux is written by Linus Torvalds and many computer
+scientists around the world.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Besides its kernel, a "Linux" system usually has:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+a file system that follows the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard <code><a
+href="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/">http://www.pathname.com/fhs/</a></code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+a wide range of Unix utilities, many of which have been developed by the GNU
+project and the Free Software Foundation.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The combination of the Linux kernel, the file system, the GNU and FSF
+utilities, and the other utilities are designed to achieve compliance with the
+POSIX (IEEE 1003.1) standard; see <a href="ch-compat.en.html#s-otherunices">How
+source code compatible is Debian with other Unix systems?, Section 3.3</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For more information about Linux, see Michael K. Johnson's <code><a
+href="ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/INFO-SHEET">Linux Information
+Sheet</a></code> and <code><a
+href="ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/META-FAQ">Meta-FAQ</a></code>.

+
+<h2><a name="s-non-linux"></a>1.4 Does Debian just do GNU/Linux?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Currently, Debian is only available for Linux, but with Debian GNU/Hurd and
+Debian on BSD kernels, we have started to offer non-Linux-based OSes as a
+development, server and desktop platform, too. However, these non-linux ports
+are not officially released yet.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The oldest porting effort is Debian GNU/Hurd.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Hurd is a set of servers running on top of the GNU Mach microkernel.
+Together they build the base for the GNU operating system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Please see <code><a
+href="http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/">http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/</a></code>
+for more information about the GNU/Hurd in general, and <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/">http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/</a></code>
+for more information about Debian GNU/Hurd.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A second effort is the port to a BSD kernel. People are working with both the
+NetBSD and the FreeBSD kernels.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+See <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/ports/#nonlinux">http://www.debian.org/ports/#nonlinux</a></code>
+for more information about these non-linux ports.
+</p>

+
+<h2><a name="s-difference"></a>1.5 What is the difference between Debian GNU/Linux and other Linux distributions? Why should I choose Debian over some other distribution?</h2>
+
+<p>
+These key features distinguish Debian from other Linux distributions:
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt>Freedom:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+As stated in the <code><a href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract">Debian
+Social Contract</a></code>, Debian will remain 100% free. Debian is very
+strict about shipping truly free software. The guidelines used to determine if
+a work is "free" are provided in <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines">The Debian Free
+Software</a></code>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>The Debian package maintenance system:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+The entire system, or any individual component of it, can be upgraded in place
+without reformatting, without losing custom configuration files, and (in most
+cases) without rebooting the system. Most Linux distributions available today
+have some kind of package maintenance system; the Debian package maintenance
+system is unique and particularly robust (see <a
+href="ch-pkg_basics.en.html">Basics of the Debian package management system,
+Chapter 6</a>).
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>Open development:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+Whereas other Linux distributions are developed by individuals, small, closed
+groups, or commercial vendors, Debian is the only major Linux distribution that
+is being developed cooperatively by many individuals through the Internet, in
+the same spirit as Linux and other free software.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+More than 1649 volunteer package maintainers are working on over 15400 packages
+and improving Debian GNU/Linux. The Debian developers contribute to the
+project not by writing new applications (in most cases), but by packaging
+existing software according to the standards of the project, by communicating
+bug reports to upstream developers, and by providing user support. See also
+additional information on how to become a contributor in <a
+href="ch-contributing.en.html#s-contrib">How can I become a Debian software
+developer?, Section 12.1</a>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>The Universal Operating System:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+Debian comes with <code><a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/">more than
+15400 packages</a></code> and runs on <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/ports/">11 architectures</a></code>. This is far
+more than is available for any other GNU/Linux distribution. See <a
+href="ch-software.en.html#s-apps">What types of applications and development
+software are available for Debian GNU/Linux?, Section 4.1</a> for an overview
+of the provided software and see <a href="ch-compat.en.html#s-arches">On what
+hardware architectures/systems does Debian GNU/Linux run?, Section 3.1</a> for
+a description of the supported hardware platforms.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>The Bug Tracking System:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+The geographical dispersion of the Debian developers required sophisticated
+tools and quick communication of bugs and bug-fixes to accelerate the
+development of the system. Users are encouraged to send bugs in a formal
+style, which are quickly accessible by WWW archives or via e-mail. See
+additional information in this FAQ on the management of the bug log in <a
+href="ch-support.en.html#s-buglogs">Are there logs of known bugs?, Section
+11.4</a>.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>The Debian Policy:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+Debian has an extensive specification of our standards of quality, the Debian
+Policy. This document defines the qualities and standards to which we hold
+Debian packages.
+</p>
+</dd>

+
+<h2><a name="s-gnu"></a>1.6 How does the Debian project fit in or compare with the Free Software Foundation's GNU project?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The Debian system builds on the ideals of free software first championed by the
+<code><a href="http://www.gnu.org/">Free Software Foundation</a></code> and in
+particular by <code><a href="http://www.stallman.org/">Richard
+Stallman</a></code>. FSF's powerful system development tools, utilities, and
+applications are also a key part of the Debian system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Debian Project is a separate entity from the FSF, however we communicate
+regularly and cooperate on various projects. The FSF explicitly requested that
+we call our system "Debian GNU/Linux", and we are happy to comply
+with that request.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The FSF's long-standing objective is to develop a new operating system called
+GNU, based on <code><a
+href="http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/">Hurd</a></code>. Debian is working
+with FSF on this system, called <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/">Debian GNU/Hurd</a></code>.

+<h2><a name="s-pronunciation"></a>1.7 How does one pronounce Debian and what does this word mean?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The project name is pronounced Deb'-ee-en, with a short e in Deb, and emphasis
+on the first syllable. This word is a contraction of the names of Debra and
+Ian Murdock, who founded the project. (Dictionaries seem to offer some
+ambiguity in the pronunciation of Ian (!), but Ian prefers ee'-en.)

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 3 - Compatibility issues
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-arches"></a>3.1 On what hardware architectures/systems does Debian GNU/Linux run?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux includes complete source-code for all of the included
+programs, so it should work on all systems which are supported by the Linux
+kernel; see the <code><a
+href="http://en.tldp.org/FAQ/Linux-FAQ/intro.html#DOES-LINUX-RUN-ON-MY-COMPUTER">Linux
+FAQ</a></code> for details.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The current Debian GNU/Linux release, 3.1, contains a complete, binary
+distribution for the following architectures:
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>i386</em>: this covers PCs based on Intel and compatible processors,
+including Intel's 386, 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II (both Klamath and
+Celeron), and Pentium III, and most compatible processors by AMD, Cyrix and
+others.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>m68k</em>: this covers Amigas and ATARIs having a Motorola 680x0 processor
+for x>=2; with MMU.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>alpha</em>: Compaq/Digital's Alpha systems.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>sparc</em>: this covers Sun's SPARC and most UltraSPARC systems.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>powerpc</em>: this covers some IBM/Motorola PowerPC machines, including
+CHRP, PowerMac and PReP machines.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>arm</em>: ARM and StrongARM machines.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>mips</em>: SGI's big-endian MIPS systems, Indy and Indigo2;
+<em>mipsel</em>: little-endian MIPS machines, Digital DECstations.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>hppa</em>: Hewlett-Packard's PA-RISC machines (712, C3000, L2000, A500).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>ia64</em>: Intel IA-64 ("Itanium") computers.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>s390</em>: IBM S/390 mainframe systems.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The development of binary distributions of Debian for Sparc64 (UltraSPARC
+native) architectures is currently underway.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For further information on booting, partitioning your drive, enabling PCMCIA
+(PC Card) devices and similar issues please follow the instructions given in
+the Installation Manual, which is available from our WWW site at <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual">http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-otherdistribs"></a>3.2 How compatible is Debian with other distributions of Linux?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian developers communicate with other Linux distribution creators in an
+effort to maintain binary compatibility across Linux distributions. Most
+commercial Linux products run as well under Debian as they do on the system
+upon which they were built.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux adheres to the <code><a
+href="http://www.pathname.com/fhs/">Linux Filesystem Hierarchy
+Standard</a></code>. However, there is room for interpretation in some of the
+rules within this standard, so there may be slight differences between a Debian
+system and other Linux systems.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux supports software developed for the <code><a
+href="http://www.linuxbase.org/">Linux Standard Base</a></code>. The LSB is a
+specification for allowing the same binary package to be used on multiple
+distributions. Packages for the Debian Etch release must not conflict with
+requirements of the LSB, v1.3. As of this writing, Debian GNU/Linux is not
+formally LSB-certified. However, some Debian derived distributions are.
+Discussion and coordination of efforts towards ensuring Debian meets the
+requirements of the Linux Standard Base is taking place on the <code><a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-lsb/">debian-lsb mailing list</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-otherunices"></a>3.3 How source code compatible is Debian with other Unix systems?</h2>
+
+<p>
+For most applications Linux source code is compatible with other Unix systems.
+It supports almost everything that is available in System V Unix systems and
+the free and commercial BSD-derived systems. However in the Unix business such
+claim has nearly no value because there is no way to prove it. In the software
+development area complete compatibility is required instead of compatibility in
+"about most" cases. So years ago the need for standards arose, and
+nowadays POSIX.1 (IEEE Standard 1003.1-1990) is one of the major standards for
+source code compatibility in Unix-like operating systems.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Linux is intended to adhere to POSIX.1, but the POSIX standards cost real money
+and the POSIX.1 (and FIPS 151-2) certification is quite expensive; this made it
+more difficult for the Linux developers to work on complete POSIX conformance.
+The certification costs make it unlikely that Debian will get an official
+conformance certification even if it completely passed the validation suite.
+(The validation suite is now freely available, so it is expected that more
+people will work on POSIX.1 issues.)
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Unifix GmbH (Braunschweig, Germany) developed a Linux system that has been
+certified to conform to FIPS 151-2 (a superset of POSIX.1). This technology
+was available in Unifix' own distribution called Unifix Linux 2.0 and in
+Lasermoon's Linux-FT.
+</p>

+
+<h2><a name="s-otherpackages"></a>3.4 Can I use Debian packages (".deb" files) on my Red Hat/Slackware/... Linux system? Can I use Red Hat packages (".rpm" files) on my Debian GNU/Linux system?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Different Linux distributions use different package formats and different
+package management programs.
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt><strong>You probably can:</strong></dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+A program to unpack a Debian package onto a Linux host that is been built from
+a `foreign' distribution is available, and will generally work, in the sense
+that files will be unpacked. The converse is probably also true, that is, a
+program to unpack a Red Hat or Slackware package on a host that is based on
+Debian GNU/Linux will probably succeed in unpacking the package and placing
+most files in their intended directories. This is largely a consequence of the
+existence (and broad adherence to) the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard.
+The <code><a href="http://packages.debian.org/alien">Alien</a></code> package
+is used to convert between different package formats.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><strong>You probably do not want to:</strong></dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+Most package managers write administrative files when they are used to unpack
+an archive. These administrative files are generally not standardized.
+Therefore, the effect of unpacking a Debian package on a `foreign' host will
+have unpredictable (certainly not useful) effects on the package manager on
+that system. Likewise, utilities from other distributions might succeed in
+unpacking their archives on Debian systems, but will probably cause the Debian
+package management system to fail when the time comes to upgrade or remove some
+packages, or even simply to report exactly what packages are present on a
+system.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><strong>A better way:</strong></dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+The Linux File System Standard (and therefore Debian GNU/Linux) requires that
+subdirectories under <samp>/usr/local/</samp> be entirely under the user's
+discretion. Therefore, users can unpack `foreign' packages into this
+directory, and then manage their configuration, upgrade and removal
+individually.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-libc5"></a>3.5 Is Debian able to run my old libc5 programs?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. Just install the required <code>libc5</code> libraries, from the
+<samp>oldlibs</samp> section (containing old packages included for
+compatibility with older applications).
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-libc5-compile"></a>3.6 Can Debian be used to compile libc5 programs?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. Install <code>libc5-altdev</code> and <code>altgcc</code> packages (from
+the <samp>oldlibs</samp> section). You can find the appropriate libc5-compiled
+<code>gcc</code> and <code>g++</code> in directory
+<samp>/usr/i486-linuxlibc1/bin</samp>. Put them in your $PATH variable to get
+<code>make</code> and other programs to execute these first.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Be aware that libc5 environment isn't fully supported by our other packages
+anymore.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-non-debian-programs"></a>3.7 How should I install a non-Debian program?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Files under the directory <samp>/usr/local/</samp> are not under the control of
+the Debian package management system. Therefore, it is good practice to place
+the source code for your program in /usr/local/src/. For example, you might
+extract the files for a package named "foo.tar" into the directory
+<samp>/usr/local/src/foo</samp>. After you compile them, place the binaries in
+<samp>/usr/local/bin/</samp>, the libraries in <samp>/usr/local/lib/</samp>,
+and the configuration files in <samp>/usr/local/etc/</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If your programs and/or files really must be placed in some other directory,
+you could still store them in <samp>/usr/local/</samp>, and build the
+appropriate symbolic links from the required location to its location in
+<samp>/usr/local/</samp>, e.g., you could make the link
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ ln -s /usr/local/bin/foo /usr/bin/foo
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+In any case, if you obtain a package whose copyright allows redistribution, you
+should consider making a Debian package of it, and uploading it for the Debian
+system. Guidelines for becoming a package developer are included in the Debian
+Policy manual (see <a href="ch-support.en.html#s-debiandocs">What other
+documentation exists on and for a Debian system?, Section 11.1</a>).
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-termcap"></a>3.8 Why can't I compile programs that require libtermcap?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian uses the <samp>terminfo</samp> database and the <samp>ncurses</samp>
+library of terminal interface routes, rather than the <samp>termcap</samp>
+database and the <samp>termcap</samp> library. Users who are compiling
+programs that require some knowledge of the terminal interface should replace
+references to <samp>libtermcap</samp> with references to
+<samp>libncurses</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To support binaries that have already been linked with the <samp>termcap</samp>
+library, and for which you do not have the source, Debian provides a package
+called <code>termcap-compat</code>. This provides both
+<samp>libtermcap.so.2</samp> and <samp>/etc/termcap</samp>. Install this
+package if the program fails to run with the error message "can't load
+library 'libtermcap.so.2'", or complains about a missing
+<samp>/etc/termcap</samp> file.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-accelx"></a>3.9 Why can't I install AccelX?</h2>
+
+<p>
+AccelX uses the <samp>termcap</samp> library for installation. See <a
+href="#s-termcap">Why can't I compile programs that require libtermcap?,
+Section 3.8</a> above.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-motifnls"></a>3.10 Why do my old XFree 2.1 Motif applications crash?</h2>
+
+<p>
+You need to install the <code>motifnls</code> package, which provides the
+XFree-2.1 configuration files needed to allow Motif applications compiled under
+XFree-2.1 to run under XFree-3.1.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Without these files, some Motif applications compiled on other machines (such
+as Netscape) may crash when attempting to copy or paste from or to a text
+field, and may also exhibit other problems.

+<p>
+<code><a href="http://www.debian.org/donations">Donations</a></code> of time
+(to develop new packages, maintain existing packages, or provide user support),
+resources (to mirror the FTP and WWW archives), and money (to pay for new
+testbeds as well as hardware for the archives) can help the project.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-contrib"></a>12.1 How can I become a Debian software developer?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The development of Debian is open to all, and new users with the right skills
+and/or the willingness to learn are needed to maintain existing packages which
+have been "orphaned" by their previous maintainers, to develop new
+packages, and to provide user support.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The description of becoming a Debian developer can be found at the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint">New Maintainer's
+Corner</a></code> at the Debian web site.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-contribresources"></a>12.2 How can I contribute resources to the Debian project?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Since the project aims to make a substantial body of software rapidly and
+easily accessible throughout the globe, mirrors are urgently needed. It is
+desirable but not absolutely necessary to mirror all of the archive. Please
+visit the <code><a href="http://www.debian.org/mirror/size">Debian mirror
+size</a></code> page for information on the disk space requirements.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Most of the mirroring is accomplished entirely automatically by scripts,
+without any interaction. However, the occasional glitch or system change
+occurs which requires human intervention.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you have a high-speed connection to the Internet, the resources to mirror
+all or part of the distribution, and are willing to take the time (or find
+someone) who can provide regular maintenance of the system, then please contact
+<code><a
+href="mailto:debian-admin at lists.debian.org">debian-admin at lists.debian.org</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-supportingorganizations"></a>12.3 How can I contribute financially to the Debian project?</h2>
+
+<p>
+One can make individual donations to one of two organizations that are critical
+to the development of the Debian project.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-SPI"></a>12.3.1 Software in the Public Interest</h3>
+
+<p>
+Software in the Public Interest (SPI) is an IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit
+organization, formed when FSF withdrew their sponsorship of Debian. The
+purpose of the organization is to develop and distribute free software.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Our goals are very much like those of FSF, and we encourage programmers to use
+the GNU General Public License on their programs. However, we have a slightly
+different focus in that we are building and distributing a Linux system that
+diverges in many technical details from the GNU system planned by FSF. We
+still communicate with FSF, and we cooperate in sending them changes to GNU
+software and in asking our users to donate to FSF and the GNU project.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+SPI can be reached at: <code><a

+<h3><a name="s-FSF"></a>12.3.2 Free Software Foundation</h3>
+
+<p>
+At this time there is no formal connection between Debian and the Free Software
+Foundation. However, the Free Software Foundation is responsible for some of
+the most important software components in Debian, including the GNU C compiler,
+GNU Emacs, and much of the C run-time library that is used by all programs on
+the system. FSF pioneered much of what free software is today: they wrote the
+General Public License that is used on much of the Debian software, and they
+invented the "GNU" project to create an entirely free Unix system.
+Debian should be considered a descendent of the GNU system.

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 10 - Customizing your installation of Debian GNU/Linux
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-papersize"></a>10.1 How can I ensure that all programs use the same paper size?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Install the <code>libpaper1</code> package, and it will ask you for a
+system-wide default paper size. This setting will be kept in the file
+<samp>/etc/papersize</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Users can override the paper size setting using the <samp>PAPERSIZE</samp>
+environment variable. For details, see the manual page
+<code>papersize(5)</code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-hardwareaccess"></a>10.2 How can I provide access to hardware peripherals, without compromising security?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Many device files in the <samp>/dev</samp> directory belong to some predefined
+groups. For example, <samp>/dev/fd0</samp> belongs to the <samp>floppy</samp>
+group, and <samp>/dev/dsp</samp> belongs to the <samp>audio</samp> group.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you want a certain user to have access to one of these devices, just add the
+user to the group the device belongs to, i.e. do:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ adduser user group
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+This way you won't have to change the file permissions on the device.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-consolefont"></a>10.3 How do I load a console font on startup the Debian way?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The <code>kbd</code> and <code>console-tools</code> packages support this, edit
+<samp>/etc/kbd/config</samp> or <samp>/etc/console-tools/config</samp> files.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-appdefaults"></a>10.4 How can I configure an X11 program's application defaults?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian's X programs will install their application resource data in the
+<samp>/etc/X11/app-defaults/</samp> directory. If you want to customize X
+applications globally, put your customizations in those files. They are marked
+as configuration files, so their contents will be preserved during upgrades.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-booting"></a>10.5 Every distribution seems to have a different boot-up method. Tell me about Debian's.</h2>
+
+<p>
+Like all Unices, Debian boots up by executing the program <samp>init</samp>.
+The configuration file for <samp>init</samp> (which is
+<samp>/etc/inittab</samp>) specifies that the first script to be executed
+should be <samp>/etc/init.d/rcS</samp>. This script runs all of the scripts in
+<samp>/etc/rcS.d/</samp> by sourcing or forking subprocess depending on their
+file extension to perform initialization such as to check and to mount file
+systems, to load modules, to start the network services, to set the clock, and
+to perform other initialization. Then, for compatibility, it runs the files
+(except those with a `.'in the filename) in <samp>/etc/rc.boot/</samp> too.
+Any scripts in the latter directory are usually reserved for system
+administrator use, and using them in packages is deprecated.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+After completing the boot process, <samp>init</samp> executes all start scripts
+in a directory specified by the default runlevel (this runlevel is given by the
+entry for <samp>id</samp> in <samp>/etc/inittab</samp>). Like most System V
+compatible Unices, Linux has 7 runlevels:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+0 (halt the system),
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+1 (single-user mode),
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+2 through 5 (various multi-user modes), and
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+6 (reboot the system).
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Debian systems come with id=2, which indicates that the default runlevel will
+be '2' when the multi-user state is entered, and the scripts in
+<samp>/etc/rc2.d/</samp> will be run.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In fact, the scripts in any of the directories, <samp>/etc/rcN.d/</samp> are
+just symbolic links back to scripts in <samp>/etc/init.d/</samp>. However, the
+<em>names</em> of the files in each of the <samp>/etc/rcN.d/</samp> directories
+are selected to indicate the <em>way</em> the scripts in
+<samp>/etc/init.d/</samp> will be run. Specifically, before entering any
+runlevel, all the scripts beginning with 'K' are run; these scripts kill
+services. Then all the scripts beginning with 'S' are run; these scripts start
+services. The two-digit number following the 'K' or 'S' indicates the order in
+which the script is run. Lower numbered scripts are executed first.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This approach works because the scripts in <samp>/etc/init.d/</samp> all take
+an argument which can be either `start', `stop', `reload', `restart' or
+`force-reload' and will then do the task indicated by the argument. These
+scripts can be used even after a system has been booted, to control various
+processes.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, with the argument `reload' the command
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ /etc/init.d/sendmail reload
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+sends the sendmail daemon a signal to reread its configuration file. (BTW,
+Debian supplies <code>invoke-rc.d</code> as a wrapper for invoking the scripts
+in <samp>/etc/init.d/</samp>.)
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-custombootscripts"></a>10.6 It looks as if Debian does not use <samp>rc.local</samp> to customize the boot process; what facilities are provided?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Suppose a system needs to execute script <samp>foo</samp> on start-up, or on
+entry to a particular (System V) runlevel. Then the system administrator
+should:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Enter the script <samp>foo</samp> into the directory <samp>/etc/init.d/</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Run the Debian command <samp>update-rc.d</samp> with appropriate arguments, to
+set up links between the (command-line-specified) directories rc?.d and
+<samp>/etc/init.d/foo</samp>. Here, '?' is a number from 0 through 6 and
+corresponds to each of the System V runlevels.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Reboot the system.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The command <samp>update-rc.d</samp> will set up links between files in the
+directories rc?.d and the script in <samp>/etc/init.d/</samp>. Each link will
+begin with a 'S' or a 'K', followed by a number, followed by the name of the
+script. Scripts beginning with 'S' in <samp>/etc/rcN.d/</samp> are executed
+when runlevel <samp>N</samp> is entered. Scripts beginning with a 'K' are
+executed when leaving runlevel <samp>N</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+One might, for example, cause the script <samp>foo</samp> to execute at
+boot-up, by putting it in <samp>/etc/init.d/</samp> and installing the links
+with <samp>update-rc.d foo defaults 19</samp>. The argument 'defaults' refers
+to the default runlevels, which are 2 through 5. The argument '19' ensures
+that <samp>foo</samp> is called before any scripts containing numbers 20 or
+larger.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-interconffiles"></a>10.7 How does the package management system deal with packages that contain configuration files for other packages?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Some users wish to create, for example, a new server by installing a group of
+Debian packages and a locally generated package consisting of configuration
+files. This is not generally a good idea, because <code>dpkg</code> will not
+know about those configuration files if they are in a different package, and
+may write conflicting configurations when one of the initial "group"
+of packages is upgraded.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Instead, create a local package that modifies the configuration files of the
+"group" of Debian packages of interest. Then <code>dpkg</code> and
+the rest of the package management system will see that the files have been
+modified by the local "sysadmin" and will not try to overwrite them
+when those packages are upgraded.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-divert"></a>10.8 How do I override a file installed by a package, so that a different version can be used instead?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Suppose a sysadmin or local user wishes to use a program
+"login-local" rather than the program "login" provided by
+the Debian <code>login</code> package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Do <strong>not</strong>:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Overwrite <samp>/bin/login</samp> with <samp>login-local</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The package management system will not know about this change, and will simply
+overwrite your custom <samp>/bin/login</samp> whenever <samp>login</samp> (or
+any package that provides <samp>/bin/login</samp>) is installed or updated.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Rather, do
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Execute:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg-divert --divert /bin/login.debian /bin/login
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+in order to cause all future installations of the Debian <code>login</code>
+package to write the file <samp>/bin/login</samp> to
+<samp>/bin/login.debian</samp> instead.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Then execute:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ cp login-local /bin/login
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+to move your own locally-built program into place.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Details are given in the manual page <code>dpkg-divert(8)</code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-localpackages"></a>10.9 How can I have my locally-built package included in the list of available packages that the package management system knows about?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Execute the command:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg-scanpackages BIN_DIR OVERRIDE_FILE [PATHPREFIX] > my_Packages
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+where:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+BIN-DIR is a directory where Debian archive files (which usually have an
+extension of ".deb") are stored.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+OVERRIDE_FILE is a file that is edited by the distribution maintainers and is
+usually stored on a Debian FTP archive at <samp>indices/override.main.gz</samp>
+for the Debian packages in the "main" distribution. You can ignore
+this for local packages.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+PATHPREFIX is an <em>optional</em> string that can be prepended to the
+<samp>my_Packages</samp> file being produced.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Once you have built the file <samp>my_Packages</samp>, tell the package
+management system about it by using the command:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --merge-avail my_Packages
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+If you are using APT, you can add the local repository to your
+<code>sources.list(5)</code> file, too.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-diverse"></a>10.10 Some users like mawk, others like gawk; some like vim, others like elvis; some like trn, others like tin; how does Debian support diversity?</h2>
+
+<p>
+There are several cases where two packages provide two different versions of a
+program, both of which provide the same core functionality. Users might prefer
+one over another out of habit, or because the user interface of one package is
+somehow more pleasing than the interface of another. Other users on the same
+system might make a different choice.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian uses a "virtual" package system to allow system administrators
+to choose (or let users choose) their favorite tools when there are two or more
+that provide the same basic functionality, yet satisfy package dependency
+requirements without specifying a particular package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, there might exist two different versions of newsreaders on a
+system. The news server package might 'recommend' that there exist
+<em>some</em> news reader on the system, but the choice of <samp>tin</samp> or
+<samp>trn</samp> is left up to the individual user. This is satisfied by
+having both the <code>tin</code> and <code>trn</code> packages provide the
+virtual package <code>news-reader</code>. <em>Which</em> program is invoked is
+determined by a link pointing from a file with the virtual package name
+<samp>/etc/alternatives/news-reader</samp> to the selected file, e.g.,
+<samp>/usr/bin/trn</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A single link is insufficient to support full use of an alternate program;
+normally, manual pages, and possibly other supporting files must be selected as
+well. The Perl script <samp>update-alternatives</samp> provides a way of
+ensuring that all the files associated with a specified package are selected as
+a system default.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, to check what executables provide `x-window-manager', run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ update-alternatives --display x-window-manager
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+If you want to change it, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+And follow the instructions on the screen (basically, press the number next to
+the entry you'd like better).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If a package doesn't register itself as a window manager for some reason (file
+a bug if it's in error), or if you use a window manager from /usr/local
+directory, the selections on screen won't contain your preferred entry. You
+can update the link through command line options, like this:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-window-manager \
+ x-window-manager /usr/local/bin/wmaker-cvs 50
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+The first argument to `--install' option is the symlink that points to
+/etc/alternatives/NAME, where NAME is the second argument. The third argument
+is the program to which /etc/alternatives/NAME should point to, and the fourth
+argument is the priority (larger value means the alternative will more probably
+get picked automatically).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To remove an alternative you added, simply run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ update-alternatives --remove x-window-manager /usr/local/bin/wmaker-cvs
+</pre>

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 5 - The Debian FTP archives
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-dirtree"></a>5.1 What are all those directories at the Debian FTP archives?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The software that has been packaged for Debian GNU/Linux is available in one of
+several directory trees on each Debian mirror site.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <samp>dists</samp> directory is short for "distributions", and it
+is the canonical way to access the currently available Debian releases (and
+pre-releases).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <samp>pool</samp> directory contains the actual packages, see <a
+href="#s-pools">What's in the <samp>pool</samp> directory?, Section 5.10</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There are the following supplementary directories:
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>/tools/</em>:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+DOS utilities for creating boot disks, partitioning your disk drive,
+compressing/decompressing files, and booting Linux.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>/doc/</em>:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+The basic Debian documentation, such as the FAQ, the bug reporting system
+instructions, etc.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>/indices/</em>:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+The Maintainers file and the override files.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>/project/</em>:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+mostly developer-only materials, such as:
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>project/experimental/</em>:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This directory contains packages and tools which are still being developed, and
+are still in the alpha testing stage. Users shouldn't be using packages from
+here, because they can be dangerous and harmful even for the most experienced
+people.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-dists"></a>5.2 How many Debian distributions are there in the <samp>dists</samp> directory?</h2>
+
+<p>
+There are three distributions, the "stable" distribution, the
+"testing" distribution, and the "unstable" distribution.
+The "testing" distribution is sometimes `frozen' (see <a
+href="#s-frozen">What about "testing"? How is it `frozen'?, Section
+5.6.1</a>).
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-codenames"></a>5.3 What are all those names like slink, potato, etc.?</h2>
+
+<p>
+They are just "codenames". When a Debian distribution is in the
+development stage, it has no version number but a codename. The purpose of
+these codenames is to make easier the mirroring of the Debian distributions (if
+a real directory like <samp>unstable</samp> suddenly changed its name to
+<samp>stable</samp>, a lot of stuff would have to be needlessly downloaded
+again).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Currently, <samp>stable</samp> is a symbolic link to <samp>sarge</samp> (i.e.
+Debian GNU/Linux 3.1) and <samp>testing</samp> is a symbolic link to
+<samp>etch</samp>. This means that <samp>sarge</samp> is the current stable
+distribution and <samp>etch</samp> is the current testing distribution.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<samp>unstable</samp> is a permanent symbolic link to <samp>sid</samp>, as
+<samp>sid</samp> is always the unstable distribution (see <a href="#s-sid">What
+about "sid"?, Section 5.4</a>).
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-oldcodenames"></a>5.3.1 Which other codenames have been used in the past?</h3>
+
+<p>
+Other codenames that have been already used are: <samp>buzz</samp> for release
+1.1, <samp>rex</samp> for release 1.2, <samp>bo</samp> for releases 1.3.x,
+<samp>hamm</samp> for release 2.0, <samp>slink</samp> for release 2.1,
+<samp>potato</samp> for release 2.2 and <samp>woody</samp> for release 3.0.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-sourceforcodenames"></a>5.3.2 Where do these codenames come from?</h3>
+
+<p>
+So far they have been characters taken from the movie "Toy Story" by
+Pixar.
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>buzz</em> (Buzz Lightyear) was the spaceman,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>rex</em> was the tyrannosaurus,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>bo</em> (Bo Peep) was the girl who took care of the sheep,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>hamm</em> was the piggy bank,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>slink</em> (Slinky Dog (R)) was the toy dog,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>potato</em> was, of course, Mr. Potato (R),
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>woody</em> was the cowboy,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>sarge</em> was the sergeant of the Green Plastic Army Men,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>etch</em> was the toy blackboard (Etch-a-Sketch (R)).
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>sid</em> was the boy next door who destroyed toys.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-sid"></a>5.4 What about "sid"?</h2>
+
+<p>
+<em>sid</em> or <em>unstable</em> is the place where most of the packages are
+initially uploaded. It will never be released directly, because packages which
+are to be released will first have to be included in <em>testing</em>, in order
+to be released in <em>stable</em> later on. sid contains packages for both
+released and unreleased architectures.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The name "sid" also comes from the "Toy Story" animated
+motion picture: Sid was the boy next door who destroyed toys :-)
+</p>
+
+<p>
+[<a href="footnotes.en.html#f1" name="fr1">1</a>]
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-stable"></a>5.5 What does the stable directory contain?</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+stable/main/: This directory contains the packages which formally constitute
+the most recent release of the Debian GNU/Linux system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+These packages all comply with the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines">Debian Free Software
+Guidelines</a></code>, and are all freely usable and distributable.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+stable/non-free/: This directory contains packages distribution of which is
+restricted in a way that requires that distributors take careful account of the
+specified copyright requirements.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, some packages have licenses which prohibit commercial
+distribution. Others can be redistributed but are in fact shareware and not
+freeware. The licenses of each of these packages must be studied, and possibly
+negotiated, before the packages are included in any redistribution (e.g., in a
+CD-ROM).
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+stable/contrib/: This directory contains packages which are DFSG-free and
+<em>freely distributable</em> themselves, but somehow depend on a package that
+is <em>not</em> freely distributable and thus available only in the non-free
+section.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-testing"></a>5.6 What does the testing directory contain?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Packages are installed into the `testing' directory after they have undergone
+some degree of testing in <a href="#s-unstable">unstable</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+They must be in sync on all architectures where they have been built and
+mustn't have dependencies that make them uninstallable; they also have to have
+fewer release-critical bugs than the versions currently in testing. This way,
+we hope that `testing' is always close to being a release candidate.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+More information about the status of "testing" in general and the
+individual packages is available at <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/devel/testing">http://www.debian.org/devel/testing</a></code>
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-frozen"></a>5.6.1 What about "testing"? How is it `frozen'?</h3>
+
+<p>
+When the "testing" distribution is mature enough, the release manager
+starts `freezing' it. The normal propagation delays are increased to ensure
+that as little as possible new bugs from "unstable" enter
+"testing".
+</p>
+
+<p>
+After a while, the "testing" distribution becomes truly `frozen'.
+This means that all new packages that are to propagate to the
+"testing" are held back, unless they include release-critical bug
+fixes. The "testing" distribution can also remain in such a deep
+freeze during the so-called `test cycles', when the release is imminent.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We keep a record of bugs in the "testing" distribution that can hold
+off a package from being released, or bugs that can hold back the whole
+release. For details, please see <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/">current testing release
+information</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Once that bug count lowers to maximum acceptable values, the frozen
+"testing" distribution is declared "stable" and released
+with a version number.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+With each new release, the previous "stable" distribution becomes
+obsolete and moves to the archive. For more information please see <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/distrib/archive">Debian archive</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-unstable"></a>5.7 What does the unstable directory contain?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The `unstable' directory contains a snapshot of the current development system.
+Users are welcome to use and test these packages, but are warned about their
+state of readiness. The advantage of using the unstable distribution is that
+you are always up-to-date with the latest in GNU/Linux software industry, but
+if it breaks: you get to keep both parts :-)
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There are also main, contrib and non-free subdirectories in `unstable',
+separated on the same criteria as in `stable'.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-archsections"></a>5.8 What are all those directories inside <samp>dists/stable/main</samp>?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Within each of the major directory trees[<a href="footnotes.en.html#f2"
+name="fr2">2</a>], there are three sets of subdirectories containing index
+files.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There's one set of <samp>binary-<var>something</var></samp> subdirectories
+which contain index files for binary packages of each available computer
+architecture, for example <samp>binary-i386</samp> for packages which execute
+on Intel x86 PC machines or <samp>binary-sparc</samp> for packages which
+execute on Sun SPARCStations.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The complete list of available architectures for each release is available at
+<code><a href="http://www.debian.org/releases/">the release's web
+page</a></code>. For the current release, please see <a
+href="ch-compat.en.html#s-arches">On what hardware architectures/systems does
+Debian GNU/Linux run?, Section 3.1</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The index files in binary-* are called Packages(.gz) and they include a summary
+of each binary package that is included in that distribution. The actual
+binary packages (for <em>woody</em> and subsequent releases) reside in the top
+level <a href="#s-pools"><samp>pool</samp> directory</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Furthermore, there's a subdirectory called source/ which contains index files
+for source packages included in the distribution. The index file is called
+Sources(.gz).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Last but not least, there's a set of subdirectories meant for the installation
+system index files. In the <em>woody</em> release, these are named
+<samp>disks-<var>architecture</var></samp>; in <em>sarge</em>, they are at
+<samp>debian-installer/binary-<var>architecture</var></samp>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-source"></a>5.9 Where is the source code?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Source code is included for everything in the Debian system. Moreover, the
+license terms of most programs in the system <em>require</em> that source code
+be distributed along with the programs, or that an offer to provide the source
+code accompany the programs.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The source code is distributed in the <samp>pool</samp> directory (see <a
+href="#s-pools">What's in the <samp>pool</samp> directory?, Section 5.10</a>)
+together with all the architecture-specific binary directories. To retrieve
+the source code without having to be familiar with the structure of the FTP
+archive, try a command like <samp>apt-get source mypackagename</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Some packages are only distributed as source code due to the restrictions in
+their licenses. Notably, one such package is <samp>pine</samp>, see <a
+href="ch-software.en.html#s-pine">Where is pine?, Section 4.10</a> for more
+information.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Source code may or may not be available for packages in the "contrib"
+and "non-free" directories, which are not formally part of the Debian
+system.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pools"></a>5.10 What's in the <samp>pool</samp> directory?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Packages are kept in a large `pool', structured according to the name of the
+source package. To make this manageable, the pool is subdivided by section
+(`main', `contrib' and `non-free') and by the first letter of the source
+package name. These directories contain several files: the binary packages for
+each architecture, and the source packages from which the binary packages were
+generated.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You can find out where each package is placed by executing a command like
+<samp>apt-cache showsrc mypackagename</samp> and looking at the `Directory:'
+line. For example, the <samp>apache</samp> packages are stored in
+<samp>pool/main/a/apache/</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Additionally, since there are so many <samp>lib*</samp> packages, these are
+treated specially: for instance, libpaper packages are stored in
+<samp>pool/main/libp/libpaper/</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+[<a href="footnotes.en.html#f3" name="fr3">3</a>]
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-incoming"></a>5.11 What is "incoming"?</h2>
+
+<p>
+After a developer uploads a package, it stays for a short while in the
+"incoming" directory before it is checked that it's genuine and
+allowed into the archive.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Usually nobody should install things from this place. However, in some rare
+cases of emergency, the incoming directory is available at <code><a
+href="http://incoming.debian.org/">http://incoming.debian.org/</a></code>. You
+can manually fetch packages, check the GPG signature and MD5sums in the
+.changes and .dsc files, and then install them.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-ownrepository"></a>5.12 How do I set up my own apt-able repository?</h2>
+
+<p>
+If you have built some private Debian packages which you'd like to install
+using the standard Debian package management tools, you can set up your own
+apt-able package archive. This is also useful if you'd like to share your
+Debian packages while these are not distributed by the Debian project.
+Instructions on how to do this are given in the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto">Debian
+Repository HOWTO</a></code>.

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 2 - Getting and installing Debian GNU/Linux
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<p>
+The official document giving installation instructions is the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual">Debian GNU/Linux
+Installation Guide</a></code>. We'll give some additional notes about getting
+and installing Debian GNU/Linux here.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-version"></a>2.1 What is the latest version of Debian?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Currently there are three versions of Debian GNU/Linux:
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>release 3.1, a.k.a. the `stable' distribution</em></dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This is stable and well tested software, it changes if major security or
+usability fixes are incorporated.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>the `testing' distribution</em></dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This is where packages that will be released as the next `stable' are placed;
+they've had some testing in unstable but they may not be completely fit for
+release yet. This distribution is updated more often than `stable', but not
+more often than `unstable'.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt><em>the `unstable' distribution</em></dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This is the version currently under development; it is updated continuously.
+You can retrieve packages from the `unstable' archive on any Debian FTP site
+and use them to upgrade your system at any time, but you may not expect the
+system to be as usable or as stable as before - that's why it's called
+`<strong>unstable</strong>'!
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>
+Please see <a href="ch-ftparchives.en.html#s-dists">How many Debian
+distributions are there in the <samp>dists</samp> directory?, Section 5.2</a>
+for more information.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-updatestable"></a>2.2 Are there package upgrades in `stable'?</h2>
+
+<p>
+No new functionality is added to the stable release. Once a Debian version is
+released and tagged `stable' it will only get security updates. That is, only
+packages for which a security vulnerability has been found after the release
+will be upgraded. All the security updates are served through <code><a
+href="ftp://security.debian.org">security.debian.org</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Security updates serve one purpose: to supply a fix for a security
+vulnerability. They are not a method for sneaking additional changes into the
+stable release without going through normal point release procedure.
+Consequently, fixes for packages with security issues will not upgrade the
+software. The Debian Security Team will backport the necessary fixes to the
+version of the software distributed in `stable' instead.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For more information related to security support please read the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/security/faq">Security FAQ</a></code> or the
+<code><a href="http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/">Debian
+Security Manual</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-boot-floppies"></a>2.3 Where/how can I get the Debian installation disks?</h2>
+
+<p>
+You can get the installation disks by downloading the appropriate files from
+one of the <code><a href="http://www.debian.org/mirror/list">Debian
+mirrors</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The installation system files are separated in subdirectories of
+<code>dists/stable/main</code> directory, and the names of these subdirectories
+correspond to your architecture like this: <samp>disks-<var>arch</var></samp>
+(<var>arch</var> is "i386", "sparc", etc, check the site
+for an exact list). In each of these architecture subdirectories there can be
+several directories, each for a version of the installation system, and the
+currently used one is in the `current' directory (that's a symbolic link).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+See the <code>README.txt</code> file in that directory for further
+instructions.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-cdrom"></a>2.4 How do I install the Debian from CD-ROMs?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Linux supports the ISO 9660 (CD-ROM) file system with Rock Ridge extensions
+(formerly known as "High Sierra"). Several <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/">vendors</a></code> provide Debian
+GNU/Linux in this format.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Warning: When installing from CD-ROM, it is usually not a good idea to choose
+dselect's <samp>cdrom</samp> access method. This method is usually very slow.
+The <samp>mountable</samp> and <samp>apt</samp> methods, for example, are much
+better for installing from CD-ROM (see <a
+href="ch-uptodate.en.html#s-dpkg-mountable">dpkg-mountable, Section 8.2.5</a>
+and <a href="ch-uptodate.en.html#s-apt">apt-get, dselect and apt-cdrom, Section
+8.2.2</a>).
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-cdimage-symlinks"></a>2.5 Why does the official stable released CD-ROM contain symlinks for `frozen' and `unstable'? I thought this CD contains just `stable'!</h2>
+
+<p>
+Official Debian CD images indeed contain symlinks like:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ /dists/frozen -> sarge/
+ /dists/stable -> sarge/
+ /dists/testing -> sarge/
+ /dists/unstable -> sarge/
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+so that they work when your sources.list has an entry like
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ deb cdrom:[<name as on cd label>]/ unstable main [...]
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The fact these symlinks are present does <em>not</em> mean the image is
+`unstable' or `testing' or anything. Read the CD label in
+<code>/.disk/info</code> to find out which Debian version it contains. This
+information is also present in <code>/README.txt</code> on the CD.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Read <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/">http://www.debian.org/releases/</a></code>
+to find out what the current `stable' and `testing' releases are.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-cdimages"></a>2.6 I have my own CD-writer, are there CD images available somewhere?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. To make it easier for CD vendors to provide high quality disks, we
+provide the <code><a href="http://cdimage.debian.org/">Official CD
+images</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-floppy"></a>2.7 Can I install it from a pile of floppy disks?</h2>
+
+<p>
+First of all, a warning: whole Debian GNU/Linux is way too large to be
+installed from media as small as a standard 1.44MB floppy disk - you may not
+find installing from floppies a very pleasant experience.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Copy the Debian packages onto formatted floppy disks. Either a DOS, the native
+Linux "ext2", or the "minix" format will do; one just has
+to use a mount command appropriate to the floppy being used.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Using floppy disks has these complications:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Short MS-DOS file names: If you are trying to place Debian package files onto
+MS-DOS formatted disks, you will find that their names are generally too long,
+and do not conform to the MS-DOS 8.3 filename limitation. To overcome this,
+you would have to use VFAT formatted disks, since VFAT supports longer file
+names.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Large file sizes: Some packages are larger than 1.44 MBytes, and will not fit
+onto a single floppy disk. To solve this problem, use the dpkg-split tool (see
+<a href="ch-pkgtools.en.html#s-dpkg-split">dpkg-split, Section 7.1.5.2</a>),
+available in the <samp>tools</samp> directory on <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/mirror/list">Debian mirrors</a></code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+You must have support in the kernel for floppy disks in order to read and write
+to floppy disk; most kernels come with floppy drive support included in them.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To mount a floppy disk under the mount point <samp>/floppy</samp> (a directory
+which should have been created during installation), use:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<pre>
+ mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy/
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+if the floppy disk is in drive A: and has an MS-DOS file system,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<pre>
+ mount -t msdos /dev/fd1 /floppy/
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+if the floppy disk is in drive B: and has an MS-DOS file system,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<pre>
+ mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /floppy/
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+if the floppy disk is in drive A: and has an ext2 (i.e., a normal Linux) file
+system.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-remoteinstall"></a>2.8 Can I get and install Debian directly from a remote Internet site?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. You can boot the Debian installation system from a set of files you can
+download from our FTP site and its mirrors.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You can download a small CD image file, create a bootable CD from it, install
+the basic system from it and the rest over the network. For more information
+please see <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/">http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You can also download even smaller floppy disk image files, create bootable
+diskettes from them, start the installation procedure and get the rest of
+Debian over the network. For more information, please see <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/distrib/floppyinst">http://www.debian.org/distrib/floppyinst</a></code>.

+<h1>
+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 9 - Debian and the kernel
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-non-debian-kernel"></a>9.1 Can I install and compile a kernel without some Debian-specific tweaking?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There's only one common catch: the Debian C libraries are built with the most
+recent <em>stable</em> releases of the <strong>kernel</strong> headers. If you
+happen to need to compile a program with kernel headers newer than the ones
+from the stable branch, then you should either upgrade the package containing
+the headers (<code>libc6-dev</code>), or use the new headers from an unpacked
+tree of the newer kernel. That is, if the kernel sources are in
+<code>/usr/src/linux</code>, then you should add
+<samp>-I/usr/src/linux/include/</samp> to your command line when compiling.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-customkernel"></a>9.2 What tools does Debian provide to build custom kernels?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Users who wish to (or must) build a custom kernel are encouraged to download
+the package <code>kernel-package</code>. This package contains the script to
+build the kernel package, and provides the capability to create a Debian
+kernel-image package just by running the command
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ make-kpkg kernel_image
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+in the top-level kernel source directory. Help is available by executing the
+command
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ make-kpkg --help
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+and through the manual page <code>make-kpkg(1)</code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Users must separately download the source code for the most recent kernel (or
+the kernel of their choice) from their favorite Linux archive site, unless a
+kernel-source-version package is available (where "version" stands
+for the kernel version).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Detailed instructions for using the <code>kernel-package</code> package are
+given in the file <code>/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz</code>.
+Briefly, one should:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Unpack the kernel sources, and <samp>cd</samp> to the newly created directory.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Modify the kernel configuration using one of these commands:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>make config</samp> (for a tty one-line-at-a-time-interface).
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>make menuconfig</samp> (for an ncurses-based menu driven interface).
+Note that to use this option, the <code>libncurses5-dev</code> package must be
+installed.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>make xconfig</samp> (for an X11 interface). Using this option requires
+that relevant X and Tcl/Tk packages be installed.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Any of the above steps generates a new <samp>.config</samp> in the top-level
+kernel source directory.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Execute the command: <samp>make-kpkg -rev Custom.N kernel_image</samp>, where N
+is a revision number assigned by the user. The new Debian archive thus formed
+would have revision Custom.1, e.g.,
+<samp>kernel-image-2.2.14_Custom.1_i386.deb</samp> for the Linux kernel 2.2.14
+on i386.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Install the package created.
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>Run dpkg --install /usr/src/kernel-image-VVV_Custom.N.deb</samp> to
+install the kernel itself. The installation script will:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+run the boot loader (grub, LILO or some other) if needed,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+install the custom kernel in /boot/vmlinuz_VVV-Custom.N, and set up appropriate
+symbolic links to the most recent kernel version.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+prompt the user to make a boot floppy. This boot floppy will contain the raw
+kernel only. See <a href="#s-custombootdisk">How can I make a custom boot
+floppy?, Section 9.3</a>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To employ secondary boot loaders such as <samp>loadlin</samp>, copy this image
+to other locations (e.g. to an <samp>MS-DOS</samp> partition).
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-custombootdisk"></a>9.3 How can I make a custom boot floppy?</h2>
+
+<p>
+This task is greatly aided by the Debian package <code>boot-floppies</code>,
+normally found in the <samp>admin</samp> section of the Debian FTP archive.
+Shell scripts in this package produce boot floppies in the
+<samp>SYSLINUX</samp> format. These are <samp>MS-DOS</samp> formatted floppies
+whose master boot records have been altered so that they boot Linux directly
+(or whatever other operating system has been defined in the syslinux.cfg file
+on the floppy). Other scripts in this package produce emergency root disks and
+can even reproduce the base disks.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You will find more information about this in the
+<samp>/usr/share/doc/boot-floppies/README</samp> file after installing the
+<code>boot-floppies</code> package.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-modules"></a>9.4 What special provisions does Debian provide to deal with modules?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian's <code>modconf</code> package provides a shell script
+(<samp>/usr/sbin/modconf</samp>) which can be used to customize the
+configuration of modules. This script presents a menu-based interface,
+prompting the user for particulars on the loadable device drivers in his
+system. The responses are used to customize the file
+<samp>/etc/modules.conf</samp> (which lists aliases, and other arguments that
+must be used in conjunction with various modules) through files in
+<samp>/etc/modutils/</samp>, and <samp>/etc/modules</samp> (which lists the
+modules that must be loaded at boot time).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Like the (new) Configure.help files that are now available to support the
+construction of custom kernels, the modconf package comes with a series of help
+files (in <samp>/usr/lib/modules_help/</samp>) which provide detailed
+information on appropriate arguments for each of the modules.

+
+<h2><a name="s-removeoldkernel"></a>9.5 Can I safely de-install an old kernel package, and if so, how?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. The <samp>kernel-image-NNN.prerm</samp> script checks to see whether the
+kernel you are currently running is the same as the kernel you are trying to
+de-install. Therefore you can remove unwanted kernel image packages using this
+command:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --purge --force-remove-essential kernel-image-NNN
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+(replace "NNN" with your kernel version and revision number, of
+course)

+<h1>
+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 14 - Changes expected in the next major release of Debian
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-security"></a>14.1 Increased security</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian contains support for shadow passwords since release 1.3. In addition,
+the Linux library of Pluggable Authentication Modules (a.k.a. <code><a
+href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/">libpam</a></code>;) that
+allows sysadmins to choose authorization modes on an application-specific basis
+is available, and initially set to authenticate via shadow password.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Including full support for advanced authentication methods such as Kerberos, as
+well as additional security enhancements for mandatory access control
+mechanisms such as SElinux, RSBAC and buffer overflow protection like
+Exec-shield or PaX is still in progress.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-i18n"></a>14.2 Extended support for non-English users</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian already has very good support for non-English users, see <a
+href="ch-software.en.html#s-nonenglish">How does Debian support non-English
+languages?, Section 4.8</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We hope to find people who will provide support for even more languages, and
+translate. Some programs already support internationalization, so we need
+message catalogs translators. Many programs still remain to be properly
+internationalized.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The GNU Translation Project <code><a
+href="ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ABOUT-NLS">ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/ABOUT-NLS</a></code>
+works on internationalizing the GNU programs.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-morearches"></a>14.3 More architectures</h2>
+
+<p>
+Complete Debian system on other architectures such as AMD64 or SuperH is
+expected soon. Notice that, for AMD64 there is a development archive at
+<code><a href="http://amd64.debian.net/">http://amd64.debian.net/</a></code>
+that provides intallation images as well as binary packages for most of the
+distribution. This architecture will probably be added for <samp>etch</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-morekernels"></a>14.4 More kernels</h2>
+
+<p>
+In addition to Debian GNU/Hurd, Debian is being ported also to BSD kernels,
+namely to <code><a href="http://www.debian.org/ports/netbsd">NetBSD</a></code>.

+<h1>
+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 6 - Basics of the Debian package management system
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-package"></a>6.1 What is a Debian package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Packages generally contain all of the files necessary to implement a set of
+related commands or features. There are two types of Debian packages:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>Binary packages</em>, which contain executables, configuration files,
+man/info pages, copyright information, and other documentation. These packages
+are distributed in a Debian-specific archive format (see <a
+href="#s-deb-format">What is the format of a Debian binary package?, Section
+6.2</a>); they are usually distinguished by having a '.deb' file extension.
+Binary packages can be unpacked using the Debian utility <samp>dpkg</samp>;
+details are given in its manual page.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<em>Source packages</em>, which consist of a <samp>.dsc</samp> file describing
+the source package (including the names of the following files), a
+<samp>.orig.tar.gz</samp> file that contains the original unmodified source in
+gzip-compressed tar format and usually a <samp>.diff.gz</samp> file that
+contains the Debian-specific changes to the original source. The utility
+<samp>dpkg-source</samp> packs and unpacks Debian source archives; details are
+provided in its manual page.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Installation of software by the package system uses "dependencies"
+which are carefully designed by the package maintainers. These dependencies
+are documented in the <samp>control</samp> file associated with each package.
+For example, the package containing the GNU C compiler (<code>gcc</code>)
+"depends" on the package <code>binutils</code> which includes the
+linker and assembler. If a user attempts to install <code>gcc</code> without
+having first installed <code>binutils</code>, the package management system
+(dpkg) will send an error message that it also needs <code>binutils</code>, and
+stop installing <code>gcc</code>. (However, this facility can be overridden by
+the insistent user, see <code>dpkg(8)</code>.) See more in <a
+href="#s-depends">What is meant by saying that a package <em>Depends</em>,
+<em>Recommends</em>, <em>Suggests</em>, <em>Conflicts</em>, <em>Replaces</em>
+or <em>Provides</em> another package?, Section 6.9</a> below.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian's packaging tools can be used to:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+manipulate and manage packages or parts of packages,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+aid the user in the break-up of packages that must be transmitted through a
+limited-size medium such as floppy disks,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+aid developers in the construction of package archives, and
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+aid users in the installation of packages which reside on a remote FTP site.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-deb-format"></a>6.2 What is the format of a Debian binary package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+A Debian "package", or a Debian archive file, contains the executable
+files, libraries, and documentation associated with a particular suite of
+program or set of related programs. Normally, a Debian archive file has a
+filename that ends in <samp>.deb</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The internals of this Debian binary packages format are described in the
+<code>deb(5)</code> manual page. This internal format is subject to change
+(between major releases of Debian GNU/Linux), therefore please always use
+<code>dpkg-deb(1)</code> for manipulating <samp>.deb</samp> files.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pkgname"></a>6.3 Why are Debian package file names so long?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The Debian binary package file names conform to the following convention:
+<foo>_<VersionNumber>-<DebianRevisionNumber>.deb
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note that <samp>foo</samp> is supposed to be the package name. As a check, one
+can learn the package name associated with a particular Debian archive file
+(.deb file) in one of these ways:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+inspect the "Packages" file in the directory where it was stored at a
+Debian FTP archive site. This file contains a stanza describing each package;
+the first field in each stanza is the formal package name.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+use the command <samp>dpkg --info foo_VVV-RRR.deb</samp> (where VVV and RRR are
+the version and revision of the package in question, respectively). This
+displays, among other things, the package name corresponding to the archive
+file being unpacked.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The <samp>VVV</samp> component is the version number specified by the upstream
+developer. There are no standards in place here, so the version number may
+have formats as different as "19990513" and "1.3.8pre1".
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <samp>RRR</samp> component is the Debian revision number, and is specified
+by the Debian developer (or an individual user if he chooses to build the
+package himself). This number corresponds to the revision level of the Debian
+package, thus, a new revision level usually signifies changes in the Debian
+Makefile (<samp>debian/rules</samp>), the Debian control file
+(<samp>debian/control</samp>), the installation or removal scripts
+(<samp>debian/p*</samp>), or in the configuration files used with the package.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-controlfile"></a>6.4 What is a Debian control file?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Specifics regarding the contents of a Debian control file are provided in the
+Debian Policy Manual, section 5, see <a
+href="ch-support.en.html#s-debiandocs">What other documentation exists on and
+for a Debian system?, Section 11.1</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Briefly, a sample control file is shown below for the Debian package hello:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ Package: hello
+ Priority: optional
+ Section: devel
+ Installed-Size: 45
+ Maintainer: Adam Heath <doogie at debian.org>
+ Architecture: i386
+ Version: 1.3-16
+ Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1)
+ Description: The classic greeting, and a good example
+ The GNU hello program produces a familiar, friendly greeting. It
+ allows nonprogrammers to use a classic computer science tool which
+ would otherwise be unavailable to them.
+ .
+ Seriously, though: this is an example of how to do a Debian package.
+ It is the Debian version of the GNU Project's `hello world' program
+ (which is itself an example for the GNU Project).
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+The Package field gives the package name. This is the name by which the
+package can be manipulated by the package tools, and usually similar to but not
+necessarily the same as the first component string in the Debian archive file
+name.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Version field gives both the upstream developer's version number and (in
+the last component) the revision level of the Debian package of this program as
+explained in <a href="#s-pkgname">Why are Debian package file names so long?,
+Section 6.3</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Architecture field specifies the chip for which this particular binary was
+compiled.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Depends field gives a list of packages that have to be installed in order
+to install this package successfully.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Installed-Size indicates how much disk space the installed package will
+consume. This is intended to be used by installation front-ends in order to
+show whether there is enough disk space available to install the program.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Section line gives the "section" where this Debian package is
+stored at the Debian FTP sites. This is the name of a subdirectory (within one
+of the main directories, see <a href="ch-ftparchives.en.html#s-dirtree">What
+are all those directories at the Debian FTP archives?, Section 5.1</a>) where
+the package is stored.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Priority indicates how important is this package for installation, so that
+semi-intelligent software like dselect or console-apt can sort the package into
+a category of e.g. packages optionally installed. See <a
+href="#s-priority">What is an <em>Essential</em> <em>Required</em>,
+<em>Important</em>, <em>Standard</em>, <em>Optional</em>, or <em>Extra</em>
+package?, Section 6.7</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Maintainer field gives the e-mail address of the person who is currently
+responsible for maintaining this package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Description field gives a brief summary of the package's features.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For more information about all possible fields a package can have, please see
+the Debian Policy Manual, section 5., "Control files and their
+fields".
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-conffile"></a>6.5 What is a Debian conffile?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Conffiles is a list of configuration files (usually placed in
+<samp>/etc</samp>) that the package management system will not overwrite when
+the package is upgraded. This ensures that local values for the contents of
+these files will be preserved, and is a critical feature enabling the in-place
+upgrade of packages on a running system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To determine exactly which files are preserved during an upgrade, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --status package
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+And look under "Conffiles:".
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-maintscripts"></a>6.6 What is a Debian preinst, postinst, prerm, and postrm script?</h2>
+
+<p>
+These files are executable scripts which are automatically run before or after
+a package is installed. Along with a file named <samp>control</samp>, all of
+these files are part of the "control" section of a Debian archive
+file.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The individual files are:
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt>preinst</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This script executes before that package will be unpacked from its Debian
+archive (".deb") file. Many 'preinst' scripts stop services for
+packages which are being upgraded until their installation or upgrade is
+completed (following the successful execution of the 'postinst' script).
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>postinst</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This script typically completes any required configuration of the package
+<samp>foo</samp> once <samp>foo</samp> has been unpacked from its Debian
+archive (".deb") file. Often, 'postinst' scripts ask the user for
+input, and/or warn the user that if he accepts default values, he should
+remember to go back and re-configure that package as the situation warrants.
+Many 'postinst' scripts then execute any commands necessary to start or restart
+a service once a new package has been installed or upgraded.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>prerm</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This script typically stops any daemons which are associated with a package.
+It is executed before the removal of files associated with the package.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>postrm</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This script typically modifies links or other files associated with
+<samp>foo</samp>, and/or removes files created by the package. (Also see <a
+href="#s-virtual">What is a Virtual Package?, Section 6.8</a>.)
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>
+Currently all of the control files can be found in directory
+<samp>/var/lib/dpkg/info</samp>. The files relevant to package
+<samp>foo</samp> begin with the name "foo" and have file extensions
+of "preinst", "postinst", etc., as appropriate. The file
+<samp>foo.list</samp> in that directory lists all of the files that were
+installed with the package <samp>foo</samp>. (Note that the location of these
+files is a dpkg internal; you should not rely on it.)
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-priority"></a>6.7 What is an <em>Essential</em> <em>Required</em>, <em>Important</em>, <em>Standard</em>, <em>Optional</em>, or <em>Extra</em> package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Each Debian package is assigned a <em>priority</em> by the distribution
+maintainers, as an aid to the package management system. The priorities are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>Required</strong>: packages that are necessary for the proper
+functioning of the system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This includes all tools that are necessary to repair system defects. You must
+not remove these packages or your system may become totally broken and you may
+probably not even be able to use dpkg to put things back. Systems with only
+the Required packages are probably unusable, but they do have enough
+functionality to allow the sysadmin to boot and install more software.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>Important</strong> packages should be found on any Unix-like system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Other packages which the system will not run well or be usable without will be
+here. This does <em>NOT</em> include Emacs or X11 or TeX or any other large
+applications. These packages only constitute the bare infrastructure.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>Standard</strong> packages are standard on any Linux system, including
+a reasonably small but not too limited character-mode system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This is what will install by default if users do not select anything else. It
+does not include many large applications, but it does include some development
+software like the GNU C and C++ compilers (<samp>gcc</samp>, <samp>g++</samp>),
+GNU make, as well as the Python interpreter and some server software like
+OpenSSH, the BSD printer daemon (<samp>lpr</samp>) and the RPC portmapper
+(<samp>portmap</samp>).
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>Optional</strong> packages include all those that you might reasonably
+want to install if you did not know what it was, or do not have specialized
+requirements.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This includes X11, a full TeX distribution, and lots of applications.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>Extra</strong>: packages that either conflict with others with higher
+priorities, are only likely to be useful if you already know what they are, or
+have specialized requirements that make them unsuitable for
+"Optional".
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+If you do a default Debian installation all the packages of priority
+<strong>Standard</strong> or higher will be installed in your system. If you
+select pre-defined tasks you will get lower priority packages too.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Additionally, some packages are marked as <strong>Essential</strong> since they
+are absolutely necessary for the proper functioning of the system. The package
+management tools will refuse to remove these.

+<h2><a name="s-virtual"></a>6.8 What is a Virtual Package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+A virtual package is a generic name that applies to any one of a group of
+packages, all of which provide similar basic functionality. For example, both
+the <samp>tin</samp> and <samp>trn</samp> programs are news readers, and should
+therefore satisfy any dependency of a program that required a news reader on a
+system, in order to work or to be useful. They are therefore both said to
+provide the "virtual package" called <samp>news-reader</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Similarly, <samp>smail</samp> and <samp>sendmail</samp> both provide the
+functionality of a mail transport agent. They are therefore said to provide
+the virtual package, "mail transport agent". If either one is
+installed, then any program depending on the installation of a
+<samp>mail-transport-agent</samp> will be satisfied by the existence of this
+virtual package.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian provides a mechanism so that, if more than one package which provide the
+same virtual package is installed on a system, then system administrators can
+set one as the preferred package. The relevant command is
+<samp>update-alternatives</samp>, and is described further in <a
+href="ch-customizing.en.html#s-diverse">Some users like mawk, others like gawk;
+some like vim, others like elvis; some like trn, others like tin; how does
+Debian support diversity?, Section 10.10</a>.

+<h2><a name="s-depends"></a>6.9 What is meant by saying that a package <em>Depends</em>, <em>Recommends</em>, <em>Suggests</em>, <em>Conflicts</em>, <em>Replaces</em> or <em>Provides</em> another package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The Debian package system has a range of package "dependencies" which
+are designed to indicate (in a single flag) the level at which Program A can
+operate independently of the existence of Program B on a given system:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Package A <em>depends</em> on Package B if B absolutely must be installed in
+order to run A. In some cases, A depends not only on B, but on a version of B.
+In this case, the version dependency is usually a lower limit, in the sense
+that A depends on any version of B more recent than some specified version.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Package A <em>recommends</em> Package B, if the package maintainer judges that
+most users would not want A without also having the functionality provided by
+B.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Package A <em>suggests</em> Package B if B contains files that are related to
+(and usually enhance) the functionality of A.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Package A <em>conflicts</em> with Package B when A will not operate if B is
+installed on the system. Most often, conflicts are cases where A contains
+files which are an improvement over those in B. "Conflicts" are
+often combined with "replaces".
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Package A <em>replaces</em> Package B when files installed by B are removed and
+(in some cases) over-written by files in A.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Package A <em>provides</em> Package B when all of the files and functionality
+of B are incorporated into A. This mechanism provides a way for users with
+constrained disk space to get only that part of package A which they really
+need.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+More detailed information on the use of each these terms can be found in the
+Policy manual.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pre-depends"></a>6.10 What is meant by Pre-Depends?</h2>
+
+<p>
+"Pre-Depends" is a special dependency. In the case of most packages,
+<samp>dpkg</samp> will unpack its archive file (i.e., its <samp>.deb</samp>
+file) independently of whether or not the files on which it depends exist on
+the system. Simplistically, unpacking means that <samp>dpkg</samp> will
+extract the files from the archive file that were meant to be installed on your
+file system, and put them in place. If those packages <em>depend</em> on the
+existence of some other packages on your system, <samp>dpkg</samp> will refuse
+to complete the installation (by executing its "configure" action)
+until the other packages are installed.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+However, for some packages, <samp>dpkg</samp> will refuse even to unpack them
+until certain dependencies are resolved. Such packages are said to
+"Pre-depend" on the presence of some other packages. The Debian
+project provided this mechanism to support the safe upgrading of systems from
+<samp>a.out</samp> format to <samp>ELF</samp> format, where the <em>order</em>
+in which packages were unpacked was critical. There are other large upgrade
+situations where this method is useful, e.g. the packages with the required
+priority and their LibC dependency.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As before, more detailed information about this can be found in the Policy
+manual.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pkgstatus"></a>6.11 What is meant by <em>unknown</em>, <em>install</em>, <em>remove</em> <em>purge</em> and <em>hold</em> in the package status?</h2>
+
+<p>
+These "want" flags tell what the user wanted to do with a package (as
+indicated either by the user's actions in the "Select" section of
+<samp>dselect</samp>, or by the user's direct invocations of
+<samp>dpkg</samp>).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Their meanings are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+unknown - the user has never indicated whether he wants the package
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+install - the user wants the package installed or upgraded
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+remove - the user wants the package removed, but does not want to remove any
+existing configuration files.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+purge - the user wants the package to be removed completely, including its
+configuration files.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+hold - the user wants this package not to be processed, i.e., he wants to keep
+the current version with the current status whatever that is.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-puttingonhold"></a>6.12 How do I put a package on hold?</h2>
+
+<p>
+There are three ways of holding back packages, with dpkg, aptitude or with
+dselect.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+With dpkg, you just have to export the list of package selections, with:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --get-selections \* > selections.txt
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Then edit the resulting file <code>selections.txt</code>, change the line
+containing the package you wish to hold, e.g. <code>libc6</code>, from this:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ libc6 install
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+to this:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ libc6 hold
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Save the file, and reload it into dpkg database with:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --set-selections < selections.txt
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+With aptitude, you can hold a package using
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ aptitude hold package_name
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+and remove the hold with
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ aptitude unhold package_name
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+With dselect, you just have to enter the [S]elect screen, find the package you
+wish to hold in its present state, and press the `=' key (or `H'). The changes
+will go live immediately after you exit the [S]elect screen.
+</p>

+
+<h2><a name="s-sourcepkgs"></a>6.13 How do I install a source package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian source packages can't actually be "installed", they are just
+unpacked in whatever directory you want to build the binary packages they
+produce.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Source packages are distributed on most of the same mirrors where you can
+obtain the binary packages. If you set up your APT's
+<code>sources.list(5)</code> to include the appropriate "deb-src"
+lines, you'll be able to easily download any source packages by running
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get source foo
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+To help you in actually building the source package, Debian source package
+provide the so-called build-dependencies mechanism. This means that the source
+package maintainer keeps a list of other packages that are required to build
+their package. To see how this is useful, run
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get build-dep foo
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+before building the source.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-sourcebuild"></a>6.14 How do I build binary packages from a source package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+You will need all of foo_*.dsc, foo_*.tar.gz and foo_*.diff.gz to compile the
+source (note: there is no .diff.gz for some packages that are native to
+Debian).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Once you have them (<a href="#s-sourcepkgs">How do I install a source package?,
+Section 6.13</a>), if you have the <code>dpkg-dev</code> package installed, the
+following command:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg-source -x foo_version-revision.dsc
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+will extract the package into a directory called <samp>foo-version</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you want just to compile the package, you may cd into
+<samp>foo-version</samp> directory and issue the command
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+to build the package (note that this also requires the <code>fakeroot</code>
+package), and then
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg -i ../foo_version-revision_arch.deb
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+to install the newly-built package(s).

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 7 - The Debian package management tools
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pkgprogs"></a>7.1 What programs does Debian provide for managing its packages?</h2>
+
+<p>
+There are multiple tools that are used to manage Debian packages, from graphic
+or text-based interfaces to the low level tools used to install packages. All
+the available tools rely on the lower level tools to properly work and are
+presented here in decreasing complexity level.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It is important to understand that the higher level package management tools
+such as <code>aptitude</code> or <code>dselect</code> rely on <code>apt</code>
+which, itself, relies on <code>dpkg</code> to manage the packages in the
+system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+See the <code><a href="http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/">APT
+HOWTO</a></code> for more information about the Debian package management
+utilities. This document is available in various languages and formats, see
+<code><a href="http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals#apt-howto">the APT HOWTO
+entry on the DDP Users' Manuals overview</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-dpkg"></a>7.1.1 dpkg</h3>
+
+<p>
+This is the main package management program. <code>dpkg</code> can be invoked
+with many options. Some common uses are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Find out all the options: <samp>dpkg --help</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Print out the control file (and other information) for a specified package:
+<samp>dpkg --info foo_VVV-RRR.deb</samp>
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Install a package (including unpacking and configuring) onto the file system of
+the hard disk: <samp>dpkg --install foo_VVV-RRR.deb</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Unpack (but do not configure) a Debian archive into the file system of the hard
+disk: <samp>dpkg --unpack foo_VVV-RRR.deb</samp>. Note that this operation
+does <em>not</em> necessarily leave the package in a usable state; some files
+may need further customization to run properly. This command removes any
+already-installed version of the program and runs the preinst (see <a
+href="ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-maintscripts">What is a Debian preinst, postinst,
+prerm, and postrm script?, Section 6.6</a>) script associated with the package.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Configure a package that already has been unpacked: <samp>dpkg --configure
+foo</samp>. Among other things, this action runs the postinst (see <a
+href="ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-maintscripts">What is a Debian preinst, postinst,
+prerm, and postrm script?, Section 6.6</a>) script associated with the package.
+It also updates the files listed in the <samp>conffiles</samp> for this
+package. Notice that the 'configure' operation takes as its argument a package
+name (e.g., foo), <em>not</em> the name of a Debian archive file (e.g.,
+foo_VVV-RRR.deb).
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Extract a single file named "blurf" (or a group of files named
+"blurf*" from a Debian archive: <samp>dpkg --fsys-tarfile
+foo_VVV-RRR.deb | tar -xf - blurf*</samp>
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Remove a package (but not its configuration files): <samp>dpkg --remove
+foo</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Remove a package (including its configuration files): <samp>dpkg --purge
+foo</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+List the installation status of packages containing the string (or regular
+expression) "foo*": <samp>dpkg --list 'foo*'</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-apt-get"></a>7.1.2 APT</h3>
+
+<p>
+APT is the <em>Advanced Package Tool</em> and provides the <code>apt-get</code>
+program. <code>apt-get</code> provides a simple way to retrieve and install
+packages from multiple sources using the command line. Unlike
+<code>dpkg</code>, <code>apt-get</code> does not understand .deb files, it
+works with the packages proper name and can only install .deb archives from a
+source specified in <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>. <code>apt-get</code>
+will call <code>dpkg</code> directly after downloading the .deb archives[<a
+href="footnotes.en.html#f4" name="fr4">4</a>] from the configured sources.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Some common ways to use <code>apt-get</code> are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To update the list of package known by your system, you can run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get update
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+(you should execute this regularly to update your package lists)
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To upgrade all the packages on your system, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get upgrade
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To install the <var>foo</var> package and all its dependencies, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get install foo
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To remove the foo package from your system, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get remove foo
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To remove the foo package and its configuration files from your system, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get --purge remove foo
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To upgrade all the packages on your system to a new Debian GNU/Linux release,
+run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get dist-upgrade
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Note that you must be logged in as root to perform any commands that modify the
+system packages.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The apt tool suite also includes the <code>apt-cache</code> tool to query the
+package lists. You can use it to find packages providing specific
+functionality through simple text or regular expression queries and through
+queries of dependencies in the package management system. Some common ways to
+use <code>apt-cache</code> are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To find packages whose description contain <var>word</var>:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-cache search <var>word</var>
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To print the detailed information of a package:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-cache show <var>package</var>
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To print the packages a given package depends on:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-cache depends <var>package</var>
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+To print detailed information of the versions available for a package and the
+packages that reverse-depends on it:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-cache showpkg <var>package</var>
+</pre>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+For more information, install the <code>apt</code> package and read

+<h3><a name="s-aptitude"></a>7.1.3 aptitude</h3>
+
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> is a package manager for Debian GNU/Linux systems that
+provides a frontend to the apt package management infrastructure.
+<code>aptitude</code> is a text-based interface using the curses library, it
+can be used to perform management tasks in a fast and easy way.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> provides the functionality of <code>dselect</code> and
+<code>apt-get</code>, as well as many additional features not found in either
+program:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> offers access to all versions of a package.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> logs all its actions in <code>/var/log/aptitude</code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> makes it easy to keep track of obsolete software by
+listing it under "Obsolete and Locally Created Packages".
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> includes a fairly powerful system for searching
+particular packages and limiting the package display. Users familiar with
+<code>mutt</code> will pick up quickly, as <code>mutt</code> was the
+inspiration for the expression syntax.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> tracks which packages have been installed due to
+dependencies and removes them automatically when the packages that needed them
+are removed from the system.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> can automatically install <em>Recommended:</em>
+packages[<a href="footnotes.en.html#f5" name="fr5">5</a>].
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> in full screen mode has <code>su</code> functionality
+embedded and can be run by a normal user. It will call <code>su</code> (and
+ask for the root password, if any) when you really need administrative
+privileges
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+You can use <code>aptitude</code> through a visual interface (simply run
+<samp>aptitude</samp>) or directly from the command line. The command line
+syntax used is very similar to the one used in <code>apt-get</code>. For
+example, to install the <var>foo</var> package, you can run <samp>aptitude
+install <var>foo</var></samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note that <code>aptitude</code> is the recommended program by Debian to install
+a package and/or to upgrade your system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For more informations, read the manual page <code>aptitude(8)</code> and
+install the <code>aptitude-doc-en</code> package.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-dselect"></a>7.1.4 dselect</h3>
+
+<p>
+This program is a menu-driven interface to the Debian package management
+system. It is particularly useful for first-time installations. Some users
+might feel more comfortable using <code>aptitude</code> which is also
+recommended over <code>dselect</code> for large-scale upgrades. For more
+information on <code>aptitude</code> please see <a href="#s-aptitude">aptitude,
+Section 7.1.3</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<code>dselect</code> can:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+guide the user as he/she chooses among packages to install or remove, ensuring
+that no packages are installed that conflict with one another, and that all
+packages required to make each package work properly are installed;
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+warn the user about inconsistencies or incompatibilities in their selections;
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+determine the order in which the packages must be installed;
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+automatically perform the installation or removal; and
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+guide the user through whatever configuration process are required for each
+package.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+<code>dselect</code> begins by presenting the user with a menu of 7 items, each
+of which is a specific action. The user can select one of the actions by using
+the arrow keys to move the highlighter bar, then pressing the
+<em><enter></em> key to select the highlighted action.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+What the user sees next depends on the action he selected. If he selects any
+option but <samp>Access</samp> or <samp>Select</samp>, then
+<code>dselect</code> will simply proceed to execute the specified action: e.g.,
+if the user selected the action <samp>Remove</samp>, then dselect would proceed
+to remove all of the files selected for removal when the user last chose the
+<samp>Select</samp> action.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Both the <samp>Access</samp> menu item and the <samp>Select</samp> menu item
+lead to additional menus. In both cases, the menus are presented as split
+screens; the top screen gives a scrollable list of choices, while the bottom
+screen gives a brief explanation ("info") for each choice.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Extensive on-line help is available, use the '?' key to get to a help screen
+at any time.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The order in which the actions are presented in the first <code>dselect</code>
+menu represents the order in which a user would normally choose
+<code>dselect</code> to install packages. However, a user can pick any of the
+main menu choices as often as needed (including not at all, depending on what
+one wants to do).
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Begin by choosing an <strong>Access Method</strong>. This is the method by
+which the user plans on accessing Debian packages; e.g., some users have Debian
+packages available on CD-ROM, while others plan to fetch them using anonymous
+FTP. The selected "Access Method" is stored after
+<code>dselect</code> exits, so if it does not change, then this option need not
+be invoked again.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Then <strong>Update</strong> the list of available packages. To do this,
+<code>dselect</code> reads the file "Packages.gz" which should be
+included in the top level of the directory where the Debian packages to be
+installed are stored. (But if it is not there, <code>dselect</code> will offer
+to make it for you.)
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<strong>Select</strong> specific packages for installation on his system.
+After choosing this menu item, the user is first presented with a full screen
+of help (unless the `--expert' command line option was used). Once the user
+exits the Help screen, he sees the split-screen menu for choosing packages to
+install (or remove).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The top part of the screen is a relatively narrow window into the list of
+Debian's 15400 packages; the bottom part of the screen contains description of
+the package or group of packages which are highlighted above.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+One can specify which packages should be operated on by highlighting a package
+name or the label for a group of packages. After that, you can select
+packages:
+</p>
+<dl>
+<dt>to be installed:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This is accomplished by pressing the `+' key.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>to be deleted:</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+Packages can be deleted two ways:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+removed: this removes most of the files associated with the package, but
+preserves the files listed as configuration files (see <a
+href="ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-conffile">What is a Debian conffile?, Section
+6.5</a>) and package configuration information. This is done by pressing the
+`-' key.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+purged: this removes <em>every</em> file that is part of the package. This is
+done by pressing the `_' key.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Note that it's not possible to remove "All Packages". If you try
+that, your system will instead be reduced to the initial installed base
+packages.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+<dl>
+<dt>to be put "on hold"</dt>
+<dd>
+<p>
+This is done by pressing `=', and it effectively tells <code>dselect</code> not
+to upgrade a package even if the version currently installed on your system is
+not as recent as the version that is available in the Debian repository you are
+using (this was specified when you set the <strong>Access Method</strong>, and
+acquired when you used <strong>Update</strong>).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Just like you can put a package on hold, you can reverse such setting by
+pressing `:'. That tells <code>dselect</code> that the package(s) may be
+upgraded if a newer version is available. This is the default setting.
+</p>
+</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>
+You can select a different order in which the packages are presented, by using
+the `o' key to cycle between various options for sorting the packages. The
+default order is to present packages by Priority; within each priority,
+packages are presented in order of the directory (a.k.a. section) of the
+archive in which they are stored. Given this sort order, some packages in
+section A (say) may be presented first, followed by some packages in section B,
+followed by more packages (of lower priority) in section A.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You can also expand meanings of the labels at the top of the screen, by using
+the `v' (verbose) key. This action pushes much of the text that formerly fit
+onto the display off to the right. To see it, press the right arrow; to scroll
+back to the left, press the left arrow.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you select a package for installation or removal, e.g.,
+<code>foo.deb</code>, and that package depends on (or recommends) another
+package, e.g., <code>blurf.deb</code>, then <code>dselect</code> will place the
+you in a sub-screen of the main selection screen. There you can choose among
+the related packages, accepting the suggested actions (to install or not), or
+rejecting them. To do the latter, press Shift-D; to return to the former,
+press Shift-U. In any case, you can save your selections and return to the
+main selection screen by pressing Shift-Q.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Users returning to the main menu can then select the "Install" menu
+item to unpack and configure the selected packages. Alternatively, users
+wishing to remove files can choose the "Remove" menu item. At any
+point, users can choose "Quit" to exit dselect; users' selections are
+preserved by <code>dselect</code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>

+
+<hr>
+
+<h4><a name="s-dpkg-deb"></a>7.1.5.1 dpkg-deb</h4>
+
+<p>
+This program manipulates Debian archive(<samp>.deb</samp>) files. Some common
+uses are:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Find out all the options: <samp>dpkg-deb --help</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Determine what files are contained in a Debian archive file: <samp>dpkg-deb
+--contents foo_VVV-RRR.deb</samp>)
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Extract the files contained in a named Debian archive into a user specified
+directory: <samp>dpkg-deb --extract foo_VVV-RRR.deb tmp</samp> extracts each of
+the files in <samp>foo_VVV-RRR.deb</samp> into the directory <samp>tmp/</samp>.
+This is convenient for examining the contents of a package in a localized
+directory, without installing the package into the root file system.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Note that any packages that were merely unpacked using <samp>dpkg-deb
+--extract</samp> will be incorrectly installed, you should use <samp>dpkg
+--install</samp> instead.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+More information is given in the manual page <code>dpkg-deb(1)</code>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h4><a name="s-dpkg-split"></a>7.1.5.2 dpkg-split</h4>
+
+<p>
+This program splits large package into smaller files (e.g., for writing onto a
+set of floppy disks), and can also be used to merge a set of split files back
+into a single file. It can only be used on a Debian system (i.e. a system
+containing the <code>dpkg</code> package), since it calls the program
+<samp>dpkg-deb</samp> to parse the debian package file into its component
+records.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, to split a big .deb file into N parts,
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Execute the command <samp>dpkg-split --split foo.deb</samp>. This will produce
+N files each of approximately 460 KBytes long in the current directory.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Copy those N files to floppy disks.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Copy the contents of the floppy disks onto the hard disk of your choice on the
+other machine.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Join those part-files together using <samp>dpkg-split --join
+"foo*"</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-updaterunning"></a>7.2 Debian claims to be able to update a running program; how is this accomplished?</h2>
+
+<p>
+The kernel (file system) in Debian GNU/Linux systems supports replacing files
+even while they're being used.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+We also provide a program called <code>start-stop-daemon</code> which is used
+to start daemons at boot time or to stop daemons when the kernel runlevel is
+changed (e.g., from multi-user to single-user or to halt). The same program is
+used by installation scripts when a new package containing a daemon is
+installed, to stop running daemons, and restart them as necessary.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-whatpackages"></a>7.3 How can I tell what packages are already installed on a Debian system?</h2>
+
+<p>
+To learn the status of all the packages installed on a Debian system, execute
+the command
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --list
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+This prints out a one-line summary for each package, giving a 2-letter status
+symbol (explained in the header), the package name, the version which is
+<em>installed</em>, and a brief description.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To learn the status of packages whose names match the string any pattern
+beginning with "foo" by executing the command:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --list 'foo*'
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+To get a more verbose report for a particular package, execute the command:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --status packagename
+</pre>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-filesearch"></a>7.4 How can I find out what package produced a particular file?</h2>
+
+<p>
+To identify the package that produced the file named <samp>foo</samp> execute
+either:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>dpkg --search filename</samp>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This searches for <samp>filename</samp> in installed packages. (This is
+(currently) equivalent to searching all of the files having the file extension
+of <samp>.list</samp> in the directory <samp>/var/lib/dpkg/info/</samp>, and
+adjusting the output to print the names of all the packages containing it, and
+diversions.)
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A faster alternative to this is the <code>dlocate</code> tool.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>zgrep foo Contents-ARCH.gz</samp>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This searches for files which contain the substring <samp>foo</samp> in their
+full path names. The files <samp>Contents-ARCH.gz</samp> (where ARCH
+represents the wanted architecture) reside in the major package directories
+(main, non-free, contrib) at a Debian FTP site (i.e. under
+<samp>/debian/dists/sarge</samp>). A <samp>Contents</samp> file refers only to
+the packages in the subdirectory tree where it resides. Therefore, a user
+might have to search more than one <samp>Contents</samp> files to find the
+package containing the file <samp>foo</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+This method has the advantage over <samp>dpkg --search</samp> in that it will
+find files in packages that are not currently installed on your system.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>apt-file search <var>foo</var></samp>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Similar to the above, it searches files which contain the substring or regular
+expression <samp>foo</samp> in their full path names. The advantage over the
+sample above is that there is no need to retrieve the
+<samp>Contents-ARCH.gz</samp> files as it will do this automatically for all
+the sources defined in <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> when you run (as
+root) <samp>apt-file update</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-datapackages"></a>7.5 Why doesn't get `foo-data' removed when I uninstall `foo'? How do I make sure old unused library-packages get purged?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Some packages that are split in program (`foo') and data (`foo-data'). This is
+true for many games, multimedia applications and dictionaries in Debian and has
+been introduced since some users might want to access the raw data without
+installing the program or because the program can be run without the data
+itself, making it optional.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Similar situations occur when dealing with libraries: generally these get
+installed since packages containing applications depend on them. When the
+application-package is purged, the library-package might stay on the system.
+Or: when the application-package no longer depends upon e.g. libdb4.2, but
+upon libdb4.3, the libdb4.2 package might stay when the application-package is
+upgraded.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+In these cases, `foo-data' doesn't depend on `foo', so when you remove the
+`foo' package it will not get automatically removed by most package management
+tools. The same holds true for the library packages. This is necessary to
+avoid circular dependencies. If you use <code>aptitude</code> (see <a
+href="#s-aptitude">aptitude, Section 7.1.3</a>) as your package management tool
+it will, however, track automatically installed packages and remove them when
+no packages remain that need them in your system.

+
+<h2><a name="s-sellcds"></a>13.1 Can I make and sell Debian CDs?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Go ahead. You do not need permission to distribute anything we have
+<em>released</em>, so that you can master your CD as soon as the beta-test
+ends. You do not have to pay us anything. Of course, all CD manufacturers
+must honor the licenses of the programs in Debian. For example, many of the
+programs are licensed under the GPL, which requires you to distribute their
+source code.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Also, we will publish a list of CD manufacturers who donate money, software,
+and time to the Debian project, and we will encourage users to buy from
+manufacturers who donate, so it is good advertising to make donations.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-packagednonfree"></a>13.2 Can Debian be packaged with non-free software?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. While all the main components of Debian are free software, we provide a
+non-free directory for programs that are not freely redistributable.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+CD manufacturers <em>may</em> be able to distribute the programs we have placed
+in that directory, depending on the license terms or their private arrangements
+with the authors of those software packages. CD manufacturers can also
+distribute the non-free software they get from other sources on the same CD.
+This is nothing new: free and commercial software are distributed on the same
+CD by many manufacturers now. Of course we still encourage software authors to
+release the programs they write as free software.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-childistro"></a>13.3 I am making a special Linux distribution for a "vertical market". Can I use Debian GNU/Linux for the guts of a Linux system and add my own applications on top of it?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. Debian-derived distributions are being created both in close cooperation
+with the Debian project itself and by external parties. One can use the
+<code><a href="http://cdd.alioth.debian.org/">Custom Debian
+Distributions</a></code> framework to work together with Debian; <code><a
+href="http://www.skolelinux.org/">Skolelinux</a></code> is one such project.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+One person is building a "Linux for Hams" distribution, with
+specialized programs for Radio Amateurs. He is starting with Debian as the
+"base system", and adding programs to control the transmitter, track
+satellites, etc. All of the programs he adds are packaged with the Debian
+packaging system so that his users will be able to upgrade easily when he
+releases subsequent CDs.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+There are several other Debian-derived distributions already on the market,
+such as Progeny Debian, Linspire, Knoppix and Ubuntu, that are targeted at a
+different kind of audience than the original Debian GNU/Linux is, but use most
+of our components in their product.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian also provides a mechanism to allow developers and system administrators
+to install local versions of selected files in such a way that they will not be
+overwritten when other packages are upgraded. This is discussed further in the
+question on <a href="ch-customizing.en.html#s-divert">How do I override a file
+installed by a package, so that a different version can be used instead?,
+Section 10.8</a>.

+<h2><a name="s-commercialdebs"></a>13.4 Can I put my commercial program in a Debian "package" so that it installs effortlessly on any Debian system?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Go right ahead. The package tool is free software; the packages may or may not
+be free software, it can install them all.

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 4 - Software available in the Debian system
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-apps"></a>4.1 What types of applications and development software are available for Debian GNU/Linux?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Like most Linux distributions, Debian GNU/Linux provides:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+the major GNU applications for software development, file manipulation, and
+text processing, including gcc, g++, make, texinfo, Emacs, the Bash shell and
+numerous upgraded Unix utilities,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk and various related programs, modules and libraries for
+each of them,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+TeX (LaTeX) and Lyx, dvips, Ghostscript,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+the X Window System, which provides a networked graphical user interface for
+Linux, and countless X applications including GNOME and KDE as well as the GIMP
+GNU Image Manipulation Program,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+a full suite of networking applications, including servers for Internet
+protocols such as HTTP (WWW), FTP, NNTP (news), SMTP and POP (mail) and name
+server; relational databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL; also provided are web
+browsers including the various Mozilla producs,
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+a complete set of office applications, including the OpenOffice.org
+productivity suite, Gnumeric and other spreadsheets, WYSIWYG editors,
+calendars.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+More than 15180 packages, ranging from news servers and readers to sound
+support, FAX programs, database and spreadsheet programs, image processing
+programs, communications, net, and mail utilities, Web servers, and even
+ham-radio programs are included in the distribution. Another 450 software
+suites are available as Debian packages, but are not formally part of Debian
+due to license restrictions.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-softwareauthors"></a>4.2 Who wrote all that software?</h2>
+
+<p>
+For each package the <em>authors</em> of the program(s) are credited in the
+file <samp>/usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/copyright</samp>, where PACKAGE is to be
+substituted with the package's name.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<em>Maintainers</em> who package this software for the Debian GNU/Linux system
+are listed in the Debian control file (see <a
+href="ch-pkg_basics.en.html#s-controlfile">What is a Debian control file?,
+Section 6.4</a>) that comes with each package. The Debian changelog, in
+<samp>/usr/share/doc/PACKAGE/changelog.Debian.gz</samp>, mentions the people
+who've worked on the Debian packaging too.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pkglist"></a>4.3 How can I get a current list of programs that have been packaged for Debian?</h2>
+
+<p>
+A complete list is available from any of the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/distrib/ftplist">Debian mirrors</a></code>, in the
+file <samp>indices/Maintainers</samp>. That file includes the package names
+and the names and e-mails of their respective maintainers.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <code><a href="http://packages.debian.org/">WWW interface to the Debian
+packages</a></code> conveniently summarizes the packages in each of about
+twenty "sections" of the Debian archive.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-missing"></a>4.4 What is missing from Debian GNU/Linux?</h2>
+
+<p>
+A list of packages which are still needed to be packaged for Debian exists, the
+<code><a href="http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/">Work-Needing and Prospective
+Packages list</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For more details about adding the missing things, see <a
+href="ch-contributing.en.html#s-contrib">How can I become a Debian software
+developer?, Section 12.1</a>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-no-devs"></a>4.5 Why do I get "ld: cannot find -lfoo" messages when compiling programs? Why aren't there any libfoo.so files in Debian library packages?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Debian Policy requires that such symbolic links (to libfoo.so.x.y.z or similar)
+are placed in separate, development packages. Those packages are usually named
+libfoo-dev or libfooX-dev (presuming the library package is named libfooX, and
+X is a whole number).
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-java"></a>4.6 (How) Does Debian support Java?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Since the official Java Development kit and Runtime Environment from Sun
+Microsystems is non-free software, even undistributeable by Debian, it cannot
+properly be included in Debian. If you want those installed anyway, please
+refer to the <code>java-package</code> package in contrib.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+However, both the JDK and several <em>free</em> implementations of Java
+technology are available as Debian packages. You can write, debug and run Java
+programs using Debian.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Running a Java applet requires a web browser with the capability to recognize
+and execute them. Several web browsers available in Debian, such as Mozilla or
+Konqueror, support Java plug-ins that enable running Java applets within them.
+Netscape Navigator, while non-free, is also available as a Debian package and
+it can run Java applets.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Please refer to the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/">Debian Java
+FAQ</a></code> for more information.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-isitdebian"></a>4.7 How can I check that I am using a Debian system, and what version is it?</h2>
+
+<p>
+In order to make sure that your system has been installed from the real Debian
+base disks check for the existence of <samp>/etc/debian_version</samp> file,
+which contains a single one-line entry giving the version number of the
+release, as defined by the package <samp>base-files</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The existence of the program <samp>dpkg</samp> shows that you should be able to
+install Debian packages on your system, but as the program has been ported to
+many other operating systems and architectures, this is no longer a reliable
+method of determining is a system Debian GNU/Linux.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Users should be aware, however, that the Debian system consists of many parts,
+each of which can be updated (almost) independently. Each Debian
+"release" contains well defined and unchanging contents. Updates are
+separately available. For a one-line description of the installation status of
+package <samp>foo</samp>, use the command <samp>dpkg --list foo</samp>. To
+view versions of all installed packages, run:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg -l
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+For a more verbose description, use:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg --status foo
+</pre>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-nonenglish"></a>4.8 How does Debian support non-English languages?</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Debian GNU/Linux is distributed with keymaps for nearly two dozen keyboards,
+and with utilities (in the <samp>kbd</samp> package) to install, view, and
+modify the tables.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The installation prompts the user to specify the keyboard he will use.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Vast majority of the software we packaged supports entering non-US-ASCII
+characters used in other Latin languages (e.g. ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-2), and
+a number of programs support multi-byte languages such as Japanese or Chinese.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Currently, support for German-, Spanish-, Finnish-, French-, Hungarian-,
+Italian-, Japanese-, Korean- and Polish-language manual pages is provided
+through the <samp>manpages-LANG</samp> packages (where LANG is the two-letter
+ISO country code). To access an NLS manual page, the user must set the shell
+LC_MESSAGES variable to the appropriate string.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, in the case of the Italian-language manual pages, LC_MESSAGES
+needs to be set to 'italian'. The <code>man</code> program will then search
+for Italian manual pages under <samp>/usr/share/man/it/</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-usexports"></a>4.9 What about the US export regulation limitations?</h2>
+
+<p>
+US laws placed restrictions on the export of defense articles, which includes
+some types of cryptographic software. PGP and ssh, among others, fall into
+this category. For the <em>sarge</em> release packages in this archive were
+moved to the main archive (or to <em>non-free</em>, if applicable) due to the
+US relaxing its regulations on the export of cryptography.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To prevent anyone from taking unnecessary legal risks, certain Debian GNU/Linux
+packages were only available from a non-US site <code><a
+href="ftp://non-US.debian.org/debian-non-US/">ftp://non-US.debian.org/debian-non-US/</a></code>,
+with numerous mirror sites all of which are also outside of the US, see
+<code><a
+href="ftp://non-US.debian.org/debian-non-US/README.non-US">ftp://non-US.debian.org/debian-non-US/README.non-US</a></code>
+for a full list. These sites still exist (for the benefit of users of
+<em>woody</em>) but its contents are no longer supported and are considered
+obsolete. Please remove any mentions to non-US from your sources in your
+<code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> configuration file.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-pine"></a>4.10 Where is pine?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Due to its restrictive license, it's in the non-free area. Moreover, since
+license does not even allow modified binaries to be distributed, you have to
+compile it yourself from the source and the Debian patches.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The source package name is <code>pine</code>. You can use the
+<code>pine-tracker</code> package to be notified about when you need to
+upgrade.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note that there are many replacements for both pine and pico, such as
+<code>mutt</code> and <code>nano</code>, that are located in the main section.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-qmail"></a>4.11 Where is qmail/ezmlm/djbdns?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Dan J. Bernstein distributes <code><a href="http://cr.yp.to/software.html">all
+software he has written</a></code> with a restrictive license, consequently,
+it's in the non-free area. Since the license he uses does not allow modified
+binaries to be distributed, you have to compile it yourself from the source and
+the Debian patches to obtain a binary package you can install in your Debian
+GNU/Linux system.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The source package names are <code>qmail-src</code>, <code>ezmlm-src</code> and
+<code>djbdns-installer</code>, respectively.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For <code>qmail</code> you need to install <code>qmail-src</code> first and
+then run <code>build-qmail</code> to build the Debian package. You also need
+to do install the <code>ucspi-tcp-src</code> package to get ucspi-tcp, which
+<code>qmail</code> depends on.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Dan J. Bernstein maintains a <code><a
+href="http://cr.yp.to/distributors.html">FAQ from distributors</a></code> page
+if you are interested in reading his reasons (one of which is <code><a
+href="http://cr.yp.to/compatibility.html">Cross-platform
+compatibility</a></code>)

+in /usr/share/man/man3/, and it can be called by executing the command:
+<samp>man 3 foo</samp>, or just <samp>man foo</samp> if section 3 is the first
+one containing a page on <samp>foo</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+One can learn which directory of <samp>/usr/share/man/</samp> contains a
+certain manual page by executing <samp>man -w foo</samp>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+New Debian users should note that the 'man' pages of many general system
+commands are not available until they install these packages:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>man-db</samp>, which contains the <samp>man</samp> program itself, and
+other programs for manipulating the manual pages.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<samp>manpages</samp>, which contains the system manual pages. (see <a
+href="ch-software.en.html#s-nonenglish">How does Debian support non-English
+languages?, Section 4.8</a>).
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+GNU-style `info' pages: User documentation for many commands, particularly GNU
+tools, is available not in `man' pages, but in `info' files which can be read
+by the GNU tool <samp>info</samp>, by running <samp>M-x info</samp> within GNU
+Emacs, or with some other Info page viewer.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Its main advantage over the original `man' pages are that it is a hypertext
+system. It does <em>not</em> require the WWW, however; <samp>info</samp> can
+be run from a plain text console. It was designed by Richard Stallman and
+preceded the WWW.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+Note that you may access a lot of documentation on your system by using a WWW
+browser, through `dwww', `dhelp' or `doccentral' commands, found in respective
+packages.

+<h2><a name="s-onlineresources"></a>11.2 Are there any on-line resources for discussing Debian?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Yes. In fact, the main method of support Debian provides to our users is by
+the way of e-mail.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s11.2.1"></a>11.2.1 Mailing lists</h3>
+
+<p>
+There are a lot of <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/">Debian-related mailing
+lists</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+On a system with the <code>doc-debian</code> package installed there is a
+complete list of mailing lists in
+<code>/usr/share/doc/debian/mailing-lists.txt</code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Debian mailing lists are named following the pattern
+debian-<var>list-subject</var>. Examples are debian-announce, debian-user,
+debian-news. To subscribe to any list debian-<var>list-subject</var>, send
+mail to debian-<var>list-subject</var>-request at lists.debian.org with the word
+"subscribe" in the Subject: header. Be sure to remember to add
+<em>-request</em> to the e-mail address when using this method to subscribe or
+unsubscribe. Otherwise your e-mail will go to the list itself, which could be
+embarrassing or annoying, depending on your point of view.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you have a forms-capable World Wide Web browser, you can subscribe to
+mailing lists using the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/subscribe">WWW form</a></code>. You
+can also un-subscribe using a <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/unsubscribe">WWW form</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The list manager's e-mail address is <code><a
+href="mailto:listmaster at lists.debian.org">listmaster at lists.debian.org</a></code>,
+in case you have any trouble.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The mailing lists are public forums. All e-mails sent to the lists are also
+copied to the public archive, for anybody (even non-subscribers) to browse or
+search. Please make sure you never send any confidential or unlicensed
+material to the lists. This includes things like e-mail addresses. Of
+particular note is the fact that spammers have been known to abuse e-mail
+addresses posted to our mailing lists. See the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/index.en.html#disclaimer">Mailing
+Lists Privacy policy</a></code> for more information.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Archives of the Debian mailing lists are available via WWW at <code><a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/">http://lists.debian.org/</a></code>.

+
+<hr>
+
+<h4><a name="s-mailinglistconduct"></a>11.2.1.1 What is the code of conduct for the mailing lists?</h4>
+
+<p>
+When using the Debian mailing lists, please follow these rules:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Do not send spam. See the <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#ads">Debian mailing list advertising
+policy</a></code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Do not flame; it is not polite. The people developing Debian are all
+volunteers, donating their time, energy and money in an attempt to bring the
+Debian project together.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Do not use foul language; besides, some people receive the lists via packet
+radio, where swearing is illegal.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Make sure that you are using the proper list. <em>Never</em> post your
+(un)subscription requests to the mailing list itself[<a
+href="footnotes.en.html#f6" name="fr6">6</a>]
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+See section <a href="#s-bugreport">How do I report a bug in Debian?, Section
+11.5</a> for notes on reporting bugs.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s11.2.2"></a>11.2.2 Maintainers</h3>
+
+<p>
+Users can address questions to individual package maintainers using e-mail. To
+reach a maintainer of a package called xyz, send e-mail to
+<em>xyz at packages.debian.org</em>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s11.2.3"></a>11.2.3 Usenet newsgroups</h3>
+
+<p>
+Users should post non-Debian-specific questions to one of the Linux USENET
+groups, which are named comp.os.linux.* or linux.*. There are several lists of
+Linux Usenet newsgroups and other related resources on the WWW, e.g. on the
+<code><a href="http://www.linux.org/docs/usenet.html">Linux Online</a></code>
+and <code><a
+href="http://www.linuxjournal.com/helpdesk.php">LinuxJournal</a></code> sites.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-searchtools"></a>11.3 Is there a quick way to search for information on Debian GNU/Linux?</h2>
+
+<p>
+There is a variety of search engines that serve documentation related to
+Debian:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code><a href="http://search.debian.org/">Debian WWW search site</a></code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code><a href="http://groups.google.com/">Google Groups</a></code>: a search
+engine for newsgroups.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, to find out what experiences people have had with finding drivers
+for Promise controllers under Debian, try searching on the phrase <samp>Promise
+Linux driver</samp>. This will show you all the postings that contain these
+strings, i.e. those where people discussed these topics. If you add
+<samp>Debian</samp> to those search strings, you'll also get the postings
+specifically related to Debian.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Any of the common web spidering engines, such as <code><a
+href="http://www.altavista.com/">AltaVista</a></code> or <code><a
+href="http://www.google.com/">Google</a></code>, as long as you use the right
+search terms.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+For example, searching on the string "cgi-perl" gives a more detailed
+explanation of this package than the brief description field in its control
+file.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-buglogs"></a>11.4 Are there logs of known bugs?</h2>
+
+<p>
+Reports on unsolved (and closed) issues are publicly available: Debian
+promissed to do so by stating "We will not hide problems" in the
+<code><a href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract">Debian Social
+Contract</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The Debian GNU/Linux distribution has a bug tracking system (BTS) which files
+details of bugs reported by users and developers. Each bug is given a number,
+and is kept on file until it is marked as having been dealt with.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Copies of this information are available at <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/Bugs/">http://www.debian.org/Bugs/</a></code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+A mail server provides access to the bug tracking system database via e-mail.
+In order to get the instructions, send an e-mail to request at bugs.debian.org
+with "help" in the body.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-bugreport"></a>11.5 How do I report a bug in Debian?</h2>
+
+<p>
+If you have found a bug in Debian, please read the instructions for reporting a
+bug in Debian. These instructions can be obtained in one of several ways:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+By anonymous FTP. Debian mirror sites contain the instructions in the file
+<samp>doc/bug-reporting.txt</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+From the WWW. A copy of the instructions is shown at <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting">http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting</a></code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+On any Debian system with the <code>doc-debian</code> package installed. The
+instructions are in the file
+<code>/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-reporting.txt</code>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+You can use the package <code>reportbug</code> that will guide you through the
+reporting process and mail the message to the proper address, with some extra
+details about your system added automatically. It will also show you a list of
+bugs already reported to the package you are reporting against in case your bug
+has been reported previously, so that you can additional information to the
+existing bug report.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you want to mail the report with an e-mail program, send a message to
+<code><a
+href="mailto:submit at bugs.debian.org">submit at bugs.debian.org</a></code>. The
+message's first line must be similar to
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ Package: package-name
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+(replace <var>package-name</var> with the name of the package). The next line
+should relate the package version number in a similar way:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ Version: version-number
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+The version number for any package installed on your system can be obtained
+using the command line
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ dpkg -s <var>package-name</var>
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+This section is referred to as the pseudo-header. The rest of the message
+should contain the description of the bug (please make it moderately detailed),
+the Debian release you are using, and versions of other relevant packages. The
+Debian release number will be displayed by the command
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ cat /etc/debian_version
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Expect to get an automatic acknowledgement of your bug report. It will also be
+automatically given a bug tracking number, entered into the bug log and
+forwarded to the debian-bugs-dist mailing list.

+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Chapter 8 - Keeping your Debian system up-to-date
+</h1>
+
+<hr>
+
+<p>
+A Debian goal is to provide a consistent upgrade path and a secure upgrade
+process. We always do our best to make upgrading to new releases a smooth
+procedure. In case there's some important note to add to the upgrade process,
+the packages will alert the user, and often provide a solution to a possible
+problem.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+You should also read the Release Notes document that describes the details of
+specific upgrades. It is shipped on all Debian CDs and available on the WWW at
+<code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes">http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/releasenotes</a></code>.
+</p>

+
+<h2><a name="s-libc5to6upgrade"></a>8.1 How can I upgrade my Debian 1.3.1 (or earlier) distribution, based on libc5, to 2.0 (or later), based on libc6?</h2>
+
+<p>
+There are several ways to upgrade:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Using a simple shell script called <samp>autoup.sh</samp> which upgrades the
+most important packages. After <samp>autoup.sh</samp> has done his job, you
+may use dselect to install the remaining packages <em>en masse</em>. This is
+probably the recommended method, but not the only one.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Currently, the latest release of <samp>autoup.sh</samp> may be found on the
+following locations:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/releases/2.0/autoup/">http://www.debian.org/releases/2.0/autoup/</a></code>
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code><a
+href="http://www.taz.net.au/autoup/">http://www.taz.net.au/autoup/</a></code>
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+<code><a
+href="http://debian.vicnet.net.au/autoup/">http://debian.vicnet.net.au/autoup/</a></code>
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Following closely the <code><a
+href="http://debian.vicnet.net.au/autoup/HOWTO/libc5-libc6-Mini-HOWTO.html">Debian
+libc5 to libc6 Mini-HOWTO</a></code> and upgrade the most important packages by
+hand. <samp>autoup.sh</samp> is based on this Mini-HOWTO, so this method
+should work more or less like using <samp>autoup.sh</samp>.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Using a libc5-based <samp>apt</samp>. APT stands for Advanced Package Tool,
+and it might replace dselect some day. Currently, it works just as a
+command-line interface, or as a dselect access method. You will find a libc5
+version in the <samp>dists/slink/main/upgrade-older-i386</samp> directory at
+the Debian archives.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>
+Using just dselect, without upgrading any package by hand first. It is highly
+recommended that you do NOT use this method if you can avoid it, because
+dselect alone currently does not install packages in the optimal order. APT
+works much better and it is safer.
+</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-howtocurrent"></a>8.2 How can I keep my Debian system current?</h2>
+
+<p>
+One could simply execute an anonymous ftp call to a Debian archive, then peruse
+the directories until one finds the desired file, and then fetch it, and
+finally install it using <samp>dpkg</samp>. Note that <samp>dpkg</samp> will
+install upgrade files in place, even on a running system. Sometimes, a revised
+package will require the installation of a newly revised version of another
+package, in which case the installation will fail until/unless the other
+package is installed.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Many people find this approach much too time-consuming, since Debian evolves so
+quickly -- typically, a dozen or more new packages are uploaded every week.
+This number is larger just before a new major release. To deal with this
+avalanche, many people prefer to use a more automated method. Several
+different packages are available for this purpose:
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-aptitude-upgrade"></a>8.2.1 aptitude</h3>
+
+<p>
+APT is an advanced interface to the Debian packaging system. It features
+complete installation ordering, multiple source capability and several other
+unique features, see the User's Guide in
+<samp>/usr/share/doc/apt-doc/guide.html/index.html</samp> (you will have to
+install the <samp>apt-doc</samp> package).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> is the recommended package manager for Debian GNU/Linux
+systems. It is a text-based interface to APT using the curses library, and can
+be used to perform management tasks in a fast and easy way.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Before you can use <code>aptitude</code>, you'll have to edit the
+<samp>/etc/apt/sources.list</samp> file to set it up. If you wish to upgrade
+to the latest stable version of Debian, you'll probably want to use a source
+like this one:
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+You can replace http.us.debian.org with the name of a faster Debian mirror near
+you. See the mirror list at <code><a
+href="http://www.debian.org/misc/README.mirrors">http://www.debian.org/misc/README.mirrors</a></code>
+for more information.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+More details on this can be found in the <code>sources.list(8)</code> manual
+page.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To update your system, run
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ aptitude update
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+followed by
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ aptitude dist-upgrade
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Answer any questions that might come up, and your system will be upgraded. See
+also <a href="ch-pkgtools.en.html#s-aptitude">aptitude, Section 7.1.3</a>.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-apt"></a>8.2.2 apt-get, dselect and apt-cdrom</h3>
+
+<p>
+<code>apt-get</code> is an APT-based command-line tool for handling packages,
+and the APT dselect method is an interface to APT through <code>dselect</code>.
+Both of these provide a simple, safe way to install and upgrade packages.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To use <code>apt-get</code>, install the <code>apt</code> package, and edit the
+<samp>/etc/apt/sources.list</samp> file to set it up, just as for <a
+href="#s-aptitude-upgrade">aptitude, Section 8.2.1</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Then run
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get update
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+followed by
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ apt-get dist-upgrade
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+Answer any questions that might come up, and your system will be upgraded. See
+also the <code>apt-get(8)</code> manual page, as well as <a
+href="ch-pkgtools.en.html#s-apt-get">APT, Section 7.1.2</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To use APT with <code>dselect</code>, choose the APT access method in dselect's
+method selection screen (option 0) and then specify the sources that should be
+used. The configuration file is <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>. See also
+<a href="ch-pkgtools.en.html#s-dselect">dselect, Section 7.1.4</a>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+If you want to use CDs to install packages, you can use <code>apt-cdrom</code>.
+For details, please see the Release Notes, section "Setting up for an
+upgrade from a local mirror".
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Please note that when you get and install the packages, you'll still have them
+kept in your /var directory hierarchy. To keep your partition from
+overflowing, remember to delete extra files using <samp>apt-get clean</samp>
+and <samp>apt-get autoclean</samp>, or to move them someplace else (hint: use
+<code>apt-move</code>).

+This is an older access method for <code>dselect</code>. It can be invoked
+from within <code>dselect</code>, thereby allowing a user the ability to
+download files and install them directly in one step. To do this, select the
+<samp>ftp</samp> access method in <code>dselect</code> (option 0) and specify
+the remote host name and directory. <code>dpkg-ftp</code> will then
+automatically download the files that are selected (either in this session of
+<code>dselect</code> or earlier ones).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Note that, unlike the <code>mirror</code> program, <code>dpkg-ftp</code> does
+not grab everything at a mirror site. Rather, it downloads only those files
+which you have selected (when first starting up <code>dpkg-ftp</code>), and
+which need to be updated.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<code>dpkg-ftp</code> is somewhat obsolete. You should use the APT access
+method with ftp:// URLs in <code>sources.list</code> instead.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-mirror"></a>8.2.4 mirror</h3>
+
+<p>
+This Perl script, and its (optional) manager program called
+<code>mirror-master</code>, can be used to fetch user-specified parts of a
+directory tree from a specified host <em>via</em> anonymous FTP.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<code>mirror</code> is particularly useful for downloading large volumes of
+software. After the first time files have been downloaded from a site, a file
+called <samp>.mirrorinfo</samp> is stored on the local host. Changes to the
+remote file system are tracked automatically by <code>mirror</code>, which
+compares this file to a similar file on the remote system and downloads only
+changed files.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <code>mirror</code> program is generally useful for updating local copies
+of remote directory trees. The files fetched need not be Debian files. (Since
+<code>mirror</code> is a Perl script, it can also run on non-Unix systems.)
+Though the <code>mirror</code> program provides mechanisms for excluding files
+names of which match user-specified strings, this program is most useful when
+the objective is to download whole directory trees, rather than selected
+packages.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="s-dpkg-mountable"></a>8.2.5 dpkg-mountable</h3>
+
+<p>
+dpkg-mountable adds an access method called `mountable' to dselect's list,
+which allows you to install from any file system specified in /etc/fstab. For
+example, the archive could be a normal hard disk partition or an NFS server,
+which it will automatically mount and umount for you if necessary.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+It also has some extra features not found in the standard dselect methods, such
+as provision for a local file tree (either parallel to the main distribution or
+totally separate), and only getting packages which are required, rather than
+the time-consuming recursive directory scan, as well as logging of all dpkg
+actions in the install method.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-upgradesingle"></a>8.3 Must I go into single user mode in order to upgrade a package?</h2>
+
+<p>
+No. Packages can be upgraded in place, even in running systems. Debian has a
+<samp>start-stop-daemon</samp> program that is invoked to stop, then restart
+running process if necessary during a package upgrade.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-savedebs"></a>8.4 Do I have to keep all those .deb archive files on my disk?</h2>
+
+<p>
+No. If you have downloaded the files to your disk (which is not absolutely
+necessary, see above for the description of dpkg-ftp), then after you have
+installed the packages, you can remove them from your system.
+</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h2><a name="s-keepingalog"></a>8.5 How can I keep a log of the packages I added to the system? I'd like to know when which package upgrades and removals have occured!</h2>
+
+<p>
+Passing the <samp>--log</samp>-option to <code>dpkg</code> makes
+<code>dpkg</code> log status change updates and actions. It logs both the
+<code>dpkg</code>-invokation (e.g.
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ 2005-12-30 18:10:33 install hello 1.3.18 2.1.1-4
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+) and the results (e.g.
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ 2005-12-30 18:10:35 status installed hello 2.1.1-4
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+) If you'd like to log all your <code>dpkg</code> invokations (even those done
+using frontends like <code>aptitude</code>), you could add
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ log /var/log/dpkg.log
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+to your <code>/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg</code>. Be sure the created logfile gets
+rotated periodically. If you're using <code>logrotate</code>, this can be
+achieved by creating a file <code>/etc/logrotate.d/dpkg</code> with contents
+</p>
+
+<pre>
+ /var/log/dpkg {
+ missingok
+ notifempty
+ }
+</pre>
+
+<p>
+More details on <code>dpkg</code> logging can be found in the
+<code>dpkg(1)</code> manual page.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<code>aptitude</code> logs the package installations, removals, and upgrades
+that it intends to perform to <code>/var/log/aptitude</code>. Note that the
+<em>results</em> of those actions are not recorded in this file!
+</p>
+
+<p>
+Another way to record your actions is to run your package management session
+within the <code>script(1)</code> program.

+<h1>
+The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ
+<br>Footnotes</h1>
+
+<h2><a href="ch-ftparchives.en.html#fr1" name="f1">1</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+When the present-day sid did not exist, the FTP site organization had one major
+flaw: there was an assumption that when an architecture is created in the
+current unstable, it will be released when that distribution becomes the new
+stable. For many architectures that isn't the case, with the result that those
+directories had to be moved at release time. This was impractical because the
+move would chew up lots of bandwidth.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The archive administrators worked around this problem for several years by
+placing binaries for unreleased architectures in a special directory called
+"sid". For those architectures not yet released, the first time they
+were released there was a link from the current stable to sid, and from then on
+they were created inside the unstable tree as normal. This layout was somewhat
+confusing to users.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+With the advent of package pools (see <a href="#s-pools">What's in the
+<samp>pool</samp> directory?, Section 5.10</a>), binary packages began to be
+stored in a canonical location in the pool, regardless of the distribution, so
+releasing a distribution no longer causes large bandwidth consumption on the
+mirrors (there is, however, a lot of gradual bandwidth consumption throughout
+the development process).
+</p>
+
+<h2><a href="ch-ftparchives.en.html#fr2" name="f2">2</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+<samp>dists/stable/main</samp>, <samp>dists/stable/contrib</samp>,
+<samp>dists/stable/non-free</samp>, and <samp>dists/unstable/main/</samp>, etc.
+</p>
+
+<h2><a href="ch-ftparchives.en.html#fr3" name="f3">3</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+Historically, packages were kept in the subdirectory of <samp>dists</samp>
+corresponding to which distribution contained them. This turned out to cause
+various problems, such as large bandwidth consumption on mirrors when major
+changes were made. This was fixed with the introduction of the package pool.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The <samp>dists</samp> directories are still used for the index files used by
+programs like <samp>apt</samp>. You may also still see paths containing
+<samp>dists/potato</samp> or <samp>dists/woody</samp> in the Filename header
+field of some older packages.
+</p>
+
+<h2><a href="ch-pkgtools.en.html#fr4" name="f4">4</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+Notice that there are ports that make this tool available with other package
+management systems, like Red Hat package manager, also known as
+<code>rpm</code>
+</p>
+
+<h2><a href="ch-pkgtools.en.html#fr5" name="f5">5</a></h2>
+
+<p>
+Although this can also lead to systems with more packages installed than they
+actually need to work.
+</p>
+
+<h2><a href="ch-support.en.html#fr6" name="f6">6</a></h2>

+Methods of accessing the bug tracking system logs
+
+Accessing active bug reports
+
+ Each message received at or sent by the bug processing system is
+ logged and made available in a number of ways.
+
+ The primary access method is to use the web pages. See the forms on
+ the main BTS page at http://bugs.debian.org/
+
+ There is a mailserver which can send bug reports as plain text on
+ request. To use it send the word help as the sole contents of an email
+ to request at bugs.debian.org (the Subject of the message is ignored), or
+ read the instructions on the World Wide Web or in the file
+ bug-log-mailserver.txt.
+
+Accessing archived bug reports
+
+ Each closed bug report is archived 28 days after the last message
+ relating to it is received and filed. This means that it is no longer
+ possible to access it or change anything about it using the control
+ and service bots. However, the reports are still accessible for
+ viewing.
+
+ You can search the bug report archive using the WWW forms at
+ http://bugs.debian.org/, simply select the "archived bugs" option.
+
+ Note that it doesn't contain the oldest closed bug reports, only those
+ after #40000, approximately.
+
+Accessing the raw bug data
+
+ If you need to get hold of the raw data used by the bug tracking
+ system, you can mirror it using rsync from bugs-mirror.debian.org. The
+ relevant modules are bts-spool-db (for the active bug spool),
+ bts-spool-archive (for bugs that have been closed for a while and thus
+ archived), and bts-spool-index (for the bug index files).
+
+ At the time of writing, the active spool is about 2.5GB and the
+ archived spool is about 10GB. If you only need a sample for testing
+ purposes, please consider downloading only part of the active spool
+ rather than the whole thing.
+
+ Please do not rely on *.status files in the bug spools, as they are
+ obsolete, for compatibility purposes only, and will be removed at some
+ point in the future. Use the *.summary files instead.

+Introduction to the bug system request server
+
+ There is a mailserver which can send the bug reports and indices as
+ plain text on request.
+
+ To use it you send a mail message to request at bugs.debian.org. The
+ Subject of the message is ignored, except for generating the Subject
+ of the reply.
+
+ The body you send should be a series of commands, one per line. You'll
+ receive a reply which looks like a transcript of your message being
+ interpreted, with a response to each command. No notifications are
+ sent to anyone for the commands listed here and the mail isn't logged
+ anywhere publicly available.
+
+ Any text on a line starting with a hash sign # is ignored; the server
+ will stop processing when it finds a line starting with quit, stop,
+ thank or two hyphens (to avoid parsing a signature). It will also stop
+ if it encounters too many unrecognised or badly-formatted commands. If
+ no commands are successfully handled it will send the help text for
+ the server.
+
+Commands available
+
+ send bugnumber
+ send-detail bugnumber
+ Requests the transcript for the bug report in question.
+ send-detail sends all of the `boring' messages in the
+ transcript as well, such as the various auto-acks.
+
+ index [full]
+ index-summary by-package
+ index-summary by-number
+ Request the full index (with full details, and including done
+ and forwarded reports), or the summary sorted by package or by
+ number, respectively.
+
+ index-maint
+ Requests the index page giving the list of maintainers with
+ bugs (open and recently-closed) in the tracking system.
+
+ index maint maintainer
+ Requests the index pages of bugs in the system for the
+ maintainer maintainer. The search term is an exact match. The
+ bug index will be sent in a separate message.
+
+ index-packages
+ Requests the index page giving the list of packages with bugs
+ (open and recently-closed) in the tracking system.
+
+ index packages package
+ Requests the index pages of bugs in the system for the package
+ package. The search term is an exact match. The bug index will
+ be sent in a separate message.
+
+ send-unmatched [this|0]
+ send-unmatched last|-1
+ send-unmatched old|-2
+ Requests logs of messages not matched to a particular bug
+ report, for this week, last week and the week before. (Each
+ week ends on a Wednesday.)
+
+ getinfo filename
+ Request a file containing information about package(s) and or
+ maintainer(s) - the files available are:
+
+ maintainers
+ The unified list of packages' maintainers, as used by the
+ tracking system. This is derived from information in the
+ Packages files, override files and pseudo-packages files.
+
+ override.distribution
+ override.distribution.non-free
+ override.distribution.contrib
+ override.experimental
+ Information about the priorities and sections of packages
+ and overriding values for the maintainers. This
+ information is used by the process which generates the
+ Packages files in the FTP archive. Information is
+ available for each of the main distribution trees
+ available, by their codewords.
+
+ pseudo-packages.description
+ pseudo-packages.maintainers
+ List of descriptions and maintainers respectively for
+ pseudo-packages.
+
+ refcard
+ Requests that the mailservers' reference card be sent in plain
+ ASCII.
+
+ help
+ Requests that this help document be sent by email in plain
+ ASCII.
+
+ quit
+ stop
+ thank...
+ --...
+ Stops processing at this point of the message. After this you
+ may include any text you like, and it will be ignored. You can
+ use this to include longer comments than are suitable for #,
+ for example for the benefit of human readers of your message
+ (reading it via the tracking system logs or due to a CC or
+ BCC).
+
+ #...
+ One-line comment. The # must be at the start of the line.
+
+ debug level
+ Sets the debugging level to level, which should be a
+ nonnegative integer. 0 is no debugging; 1 is usually
+ sufficient. The debugging output appears in the transcript. It
+ is not likely to be useful to general users of the bug system.
+
+ There is a reference card for the mailservers, available via the WWW,
+ in bug-mailserver-refcard.txt or by email using the refcard command
+ (see above).
+
+ If you wish to manipulate bug reports you should use the
+ control at bugs.debian.org address, which understands a superset of the
+ commands listed above. This is described in another document,
+ available on the WWW, in the file bug-maint-mailcontrol.txt, or by
+ sending help to control at bugs.
+
+ In case you are reading this as a plain text file or via email: an
+ HTML version is available via the bug system main contents page
+ http://www.debian.org/Bugs/.

+Developers' information regarding the bug processing system
+
+ Initially, a bug report is submitted by a user as an ordinary mail
+ message to submit at bugs.debian.org. This will then be given a number,
+ acknowledged to the user, and forwarded to debian-bugs-dist. If the
+ submitter included a Package line listing a package with a known
+ maintainer the maintainer will get a copy too.
+
+ The Subject line will have Bug#nnn: added, and the Reply-To will be

+Closing bug reports
+
+ Debian bug reports should be closed when the problem is fixed.
+ Problems in packages can only be considered fixed once a package that
+ includes the bug fix enters the Debian archive.
+
+ Normally, the only people that are allowed to close a bug report are
+ the submitter of the bug and the maintainer(s) of the package against
+ which the bug is filed. There are exceptions to this rule, for
+ example, the bugs filed against unknown packages or certain generic
+ pseudo-packages. When in doubt, don't close bugs, first ask for advice
+ on the debian-devel mailing list.
+
+ Bug reports should be closed by sending email to
+ nnn-done at bugs.debian.org. The message body needs to contain an
+ explanation of how the bug was fixed.
+
+ With the emails received from the bug tracking system, all you need to
+ do to close the bug is to make a Reply in your mail reader program and
+ edit the To field to say nnn-done at bugs.debian.org instead of
+ nnn at bugs.debian.org (nnn-close is provided as an alias for nnn-done).
+
+ Where applicable, please supply a Version line in the pseudo-header of
+ your message when closing a bug, so that the bug tracking system knows
+ which releases of the package contain the fix.
+
+ The person closing the bug, the person who submitted it and the
+ debian-bugs-closed mailing list will each get a notification about the
+ change in status of the report. The submitter and the mailing list
+ will also receive the contents of the message sent to nnn-done.
+
+Followup messages
+
+ The bug tracking system will include the submitter's address and the
+ bug address (nnn at bugs.debian.org) in the Reply-To header after
+ forwarding the bug report. Please note that these are two distinct
+ addresses.
+
+ If a developer wishes to reply to a bug report they should simply
+ reply to the message, respecting the Reply-To header. This will not
+ close the bug.
+
+ The bug tracking system will receive the message at
+ nnn at bugs.debian.org, pass it on to the package maintainer, file the
+ reply with the rest of the logs for that bug report and forward it to
+ debian-bugs-dist.
+
+ Sending a message to nnn-submitter at bugs.debian.org will explicitly
+ email the submitter of the bug and place a copy in the Bug tracking
+ system. The message will not be sent to package maintainer.
+
+ If you wish to send a followup message which is not appropriate for
+ debian-bugs-dist you can do so by sending it to
+ nnn-quiet at bugs.debian.org or nnn-maintonly at bugs.debian.org. Mail to
+ nnn-quiet at bugs.debian.org is filed in the Bug Tracking System but is
+ not delivered to any individuals or mailing lists. Mail to
+ nnn-maintonly at bugs.debian.org is filed in the Bug Tracking System and
+ is delivered only to the maintainer of the package in question.
+
+ Do not use the `reply to all recipients' or `followup' feature of your
+ mailer unless you intend to edit down the recipients substantially. In
+ particular, see that you don't send followup messages to
+ submit at bugs.debian.org.
+
+ For more information about headers to suppress ACK messages and how to
+ send carbon copies using the Bug Tracking System, see the instructions
+ for reporting bugs.
+
+Severity levels
+
+ The bug system records a severity level with each bug report. This is
+ set to normal by default, but can be overridden either by supplying a
+ Severity line in the pseudo-header when the bug is submitted (see the
+ instructions for reporting bugs), or by using the severity command
+ with the control request server.
+
+ The severity levels are:
+
+ critical
+ makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system)
+ break, or causes serious data loss, or introduces a security
+ hole on systems where you install the package.
+
+ grave
+ makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes
+ data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the
+ accounts of users who use the package.
+
+ serious
+ is a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates a
+ "must" or "required" directive), or, in the package
+ maintainer's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release.
+
+ important
+ a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
+ without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.
+
+ normal
+ the default value, applicable to most bugs.
+
+ minor
+ a problem which doesn't affect the package's usefulness, and is
+ presumably trivial to fix.
+
+ wishlist
+ for any feature request, and also for any bugs that are very
+ difficult to fix due to major design considerations.
+
+ Certain severities are considered release-critical, meaning the bug
+ will have an impact on releasing the package with the stable release
+ of Debian. Currently, these are critical, grave and serious. For
+ complete and canonical rules on what issues merit these severities,
+ see the list of Release-Critical Issues for Etch.
+
+Tags for bug reports
+
+ Each bug can have zero or more of a set of given tags. These tags are
+ displayed in the list of bugs when you look at a package's page, and
+ when you look at the full bug log.
+
+ Tags can be set by supplying a Tags line in the pseudo-header when the
+ bug is submitted (see the instructions for reporting bugs), or by
+ using the tags command with the control request server. Separate
+ multiple tags with commas, spaces, or both.
+
+ The current bug tags are:
+
+ patch
+ A patch or some other easy procedure for fixing the bug is
+ included in the bug logs. If there's a patch, but it doesn't
+ resolve the bug adequately or causes some other problems, this
+ tag should not be used.
+
+ wontfix
+ This bug won't be fixed. Possibly because this is a choice
+ between two arbitrary ways of doing things and the maintainer
+ and submitter prefer different ways of doing things, possibly
+ because changing the behaviour will cause other, worse,
+ problems for others, or possibly for other reasons.
+
+ moreinfo
+ This bug can't be addressed until more information is provided
+ by the submitter. The bug will be closed if the submitter
+ doesn't provide more information in a reasonable (few months)
+ timeframe. This is for bugs like "It doesn't work". What
+ doesn't work?
+
+ unreproducible
+ This bug can't be reproduced on the maintainer's system.
+ Assistance from third parties is needed in diagnosing the cause
+ of the problem.
+
+ help
+ The maintainer is requesting help with dealing with this bug.
+
+ pending
+ A solution to this bug has been found and an upload will be
+ made soon.
+
+ fixed
+ This bug is fixed or worked around (by a non-maintainer upload,
+ for example), but there's still an issue that needs to be
+ resolved. This tag replaces the old "fixed" severity.
+
+ security
+ This bug describes a security problem in a package (e.g., bad
+ permissions allowing access to data that shouldn't be
+ accessible; buffer overruns allowing people to control a system
+ in ways they shouldn't be able to; denial of service attacks
+ that should be fixed, etc). Most security bugs should also be
+ set at critical or grave severity.
+
+ upstream
+ This bug applies to the upstream part of the package.
+
+ confirmed
+ The maintainer has looked at, understands, and basically agrees
+ with the bug, but has yet to fix it. (Use of this tag is
+ optional; it is intended mostly for maintainers who need to
+ manage large numbers of open bugs.)
+
+ fixed-upstream
+ The bug has been fixed by the upstream maintainer, but not yet
+ in the package (for whatever reason: perhaps it is too
+ complicated to backport the change or too minor to be worth
+ bothering).
+
+ fixed-in-experimental
+ The bug has been fixed in the package of the experimental
+ distribution, but not yet in the unstable distribution.
+
+ d-i
+ This bug is relevant to the development of debian-installer. It
+ is expected that this will be used when the bug affects
+ installer development but is not filed against a package that
+ forms a direct part of the installer itself.
+
+ ipv6
+ This bug affects support for Internet Protocol version 6.
+
+ lfs
+ This bug affects support for large files (over 2 gigabytes).
+
+ l10n
+ This bug is relevant to the localisation of the package.
+
+ potato
+ This bug particularly applies to the potato release of Debian.
+
+ woody
+ This bug particularly applies to the woody distribution.
+
+ sarge
+ This bug should not be archived until it is fixed in sarge.
+
+ sarge-ignore
+ This release-critical bug is to be ignored for the purposes of
+ releasing sarge. This tag should only be used by the release
+ manager; do not set it yourself without explicit authorization
+ from them.
+
+ etch
+ This bug should not be archived until it is fixed in etch.
+
+ etch-ignore
+ This release-critical bug is to be ignored for the purposes of
+ releasing etch. This tag should only be used by the release
+ manager; do not set it yourself without explicit authorization
+ from them.
+
+ sid
+ This bug should not be archived until it is fixed in sid.
+
+ experimental
+ This bug should not be archived until it is fixed in
+ experimental.
+
+ The meanings of the latter 6 tags have changed recently; the ignore
+ tags ignore the bug for the purpose of a testing propagation. The
+ release tags, which used to indicate which bugs affected a specific
+ release now indicate when a bug can be archived.
+
+Recording that you have passed on a bug report
+
+ When a developer forwards a bug report to the developer of the
+ upstream source package from which the Debian package is derived, they
+ should note this in the bug tracking system as follows:
+
+ Make sure that the To field of your message to the author has only the
+ author(s) address(es) in it; put the person who reported the bug,
+ nnn-forwarded at bugs.debian.org and nnn at bugs.debian.org in the CC field.
+
+ Ask the author to preserve the CC to nnn-forwarded at bugs.debian.org
+ when they reply, so that the bug tracking system will file their reply
+ with the original report. These messages are only filed and are not
+ sent on; to send a message as normal, send them to nnn at bugs.debian.org
+ as well.
+
+ When the bug tracking system gets a message at nnn-forwarded it will
+ mark the relevant bug as having been forwarded to the address(es) in
+ the To field of the message it gets, if the bug is not already marked
+ as forwarded.
+
+ You can also manipulate the `forwarded to' information by sending
+ messages to control at bugs.debian.org.
+
+Changing bug ownership
+
+ In cases where the person responsible for fixing a bug is not the
+ assigned maintainer for the associated package (for example, when the
+ package is maintained by a team), it may be useful to record this fact
+ in the bug tracking system. To help with this, each bug may optionally
+ have an owner.
+
+ The owner can be set by supplying an Owner line in the pseudo-header
+ when the bug is submitted (see the instructions for reporting bugs),
+ or by using the owner and noowner commands with the control request
+ server.
+
+Incorrectly listed package maintainers
+
+ If the maintainer of a package is listed incorrectly, this is usually
+ because the maintainer has changed recently, and the new maintainer
+ hasn't yet uploaded a new version of the package with a changed
+ Maintainer control file field. This will be fixed when the package is
+ uploaded; alternatively, the archive maintainers can override the
+ maintainer record of a package manually, for example if a rebuild and
+ reupload of the package is not expected to be needed soon. Contact
+ override-change at debian.org for changes to the override file.
+
+Reopening, reassigning and manipulating bugs
+
+ It is possible to reassign bug reports to other packages, to reopen
+ erroneously-closed ones, to modify the information saying to where, if
+ anywhere, a bug report has been forwarded, to change the severities
+ and titles of reports, to set the ownership of bugs, to merge and
+ unmerge bug reports, and to record the versions of packages in which
+ bugs were found and in which they were fixed. This is done by sending
+ mail to control at bugs.debian.org.
+
+ The format of these messages is described in another document
+ available on the World Wide Web or in the file
+ bug-maint-mailcontrol.txt. A plain text version can also be obtained
+ by mailing the word help to the server at the address above.
+
+Subscribing to bugs
+
+ The bug tracking system also allows bug submitters, developers and
+ other interested third parties to subscribe to individual bugs. This
+ feature can be used by those wishing to keep an eye on a bug, without
+ having to subscribe to a package through the PTS. All messages that
+ are received at nnn at debian.org, are sent to subscribers.
+
+ Subscribing to a bug can be done by sending an email to
+ nnn-subscribe at bugs.debian.org. The subject and body of the email are
+ ignored by the BTS. Once this message is processed, users are sent a
+ confirmation message that they will need to reply to before they are
+ sent the messages relating to that bug.
+
+ It is also possible to unsubscribe from a bug. Unsubscribing can be
+ done by sending an email to nnn-unsubscribe at bugs.debian.org. The
+ subject and body of the email are again ignored by the BTS. Users will
+ be sent a confirmation message which they must reply to if they wish
+ to be unsubscribed from the bug.
+
+ By default, the address subscribed is the one found in the From
+ header. If you wish to subscribe another address to a bug, you will
+ need to encode the address to be subscribed into the subscription
+ message. This takes the form of:
+ nnn-subscribe-localpart=example.com at bugs.debian.org. That example
+ would send localpart at example.com a subscription message for bug nnn.
+ The @ sign must be encoded by changing it to an = sign. Similarly, an
+ unsubscription takes the form
+ nnn-unsubscribe-localpart=example.com at bugs.debian.org. In both cases,
+ the subject and body of the email will be forwarded to the email
+ address within the request for confirmation.
+
+More-or-less obsolete subject-scanning feature
+
+ Messages that arrive at submit or bugs whose Subject starts Bug#nnn
+ will be treated as having been sent to nnn at bugs.debian.org. This is
+ both for backwards compatibility with mail forwarded from the old
+ addresses, and to catch followup mail sent to submit by mistake (for
+ example, by using reply to all recipients).
+
+ A similar scheme operates for maintonly, done, quiet and forwarded,
+ which treat mail arriving with a Subject tag as having been sent to
+ the corresponding nnn-whatever at bugs.debian.org address.
+
+ Messages arriving at plain forwarded and done - ie, with no bug report
+ number in the address - and without a bug number in the Subject will
+ be filed under `junk' and kept for a few weeks, but otherwise ignored.
+
+Obsolete X-Debian-PR: quiet feature
+
+ It used to be possible to prevent the bug tracking system from
+ forwarding anywhere messages it received at debian-bugs, by putting an
+ X-Debian-PR: quiet line in the actual mail header.
+
+ This header line is now ignored. Instead, send your message to quiet
+ or nnn-quiet (or maintonly or nnn-maintonly).

+Introduction to the bug control and manipulation mailserver
+
+ In addition to the mailserver on request at bugs.debian.org which allows
+ the retrieval of bug data and documentation by email, there is another
+ server on control at bugs.debian.org which also allows bug reports to be
+ manipulated in various ways.
+
+ The control server works just like the request server, except that it
+ has some additional commands; in fact, it's the same program. The two
+ addresses are only separated to avoid users making mistakes and
+ causing problems while merely trying to request information.
+
+ Since the commands specific to the control server actually change the
+ status of a bug, a notification about processing the commands is sent
+ to the maintainer of the package(s) the changed bugs are assigned to.
+ Additionally the mail to the server and the resulting changes are
+ logged in the bug report and thereby available in the WWW pages.
+
+ Please see the introduction to the request server available on the
+ World Wide Web, in the file bug-log-mailserver.txt, or by sending help
+ to either mailserver, for details of the basics of operating the
+ mailservers and the common commands available when mailing either
+ address.
+
+ The reference card for the mailservers is available via the WWW, in
+ bug-mailserver-refcard.txt or by email using the refcard command.
+
+Commands available at the control mailserver
+
+ reassign bugnumber package [ version ]
+ Records that bug #bugnumber is a bug in package. This can be
+ used to set the package if the user forgot the pseudo-header,
+ or to change an earlier assignment. No notifications are sent
+ to anyone (other than the usual information in the processing
+ transcript).
+
+ If you supply a version, the bug tracking system will note that
+ the bug affects that version of the newly-assigned package.
+
+ reopen bugnumber [ originator-address | = | ! ]
+ Reopens #bugnumber if it is closed.
+
+ By default, or if you specify =, the original submitter is
+ still as the originator of the report, so that they will get
+ the ack when it is closed again.
+
+ If you supply an originator-address the originator will be set
+ to the address you supply. If you wish to become the new
+ originator of the reopened report you can use the ! shorthand
+ or specify your own email address.
+
+ It is usually a good idea to tell the person who is about to be
+ recorded as the originator that you're reopening the report, so
+ that they will know to expect the ack which they'll get when it
+ is closed again.
+
+ If the bug is not closed then reopen won't do anything, not
+ even change the originator. To change the originator of an open
+ bug report, use the submitter command; note that this will
+ inform the original submitter of the change.
+
+ If the bug was recorded as being closed in a particular version
+ of a package but recurred in a later version, it is better to
+ use the found command instead.
+
+ found bugnumber [ version ]
+ Record that #bugnumber has been encountered in the given
+ version of the package to which it is assigned.
+
+ The bug tracking system uses this information, in conjunction
+ with fixed versions recorded when closing bugs, to display
+ lists of bugs open in various versions of each package. It
+ considers a bug to be open when it has no fixed version, or
+ when it has been found more recently than it has been fixed.
+
+ If no version is given, then the list of fixed versions for the
+ bug is cleared. This is identical to the behaviour of reopen.
+
+ This command was introduced in preference to reopen because it
+ was difficult to add a version to that command's syntax without
+ suffering ambiguity.
+
+ notfound bugnumber version
+ Remove the record that #bugnumber was encountered in the given
+ version of the package to which it is assigned.
+
+ This differs from closing the bug at that version in that the
+ bug is not listed as fixed in that version either; no
+ information about that version will be known. It is intended
+ for fixing mistakes in the record of when a bug was found.
+
+ submitter bugnumber originator-address | !
+ Changes the originator of #bugnumber to originator-address.
+
+ If you wish to become the new originator of the report you can
+ use the ! shorthand or specify your own email address.
+
+ While the reopen command changes the originator of other bugs
+ merged with the one being reopened, submitter does not affect
+ merged bugs.
+
+ forwarded bugnumber address
+ Notes that bugnumber has been forwarded to the upstream
+ maintainer at address. This does not actually forward the
+ report. This can be used to change an existing incorrect
+ forwarded-to address, or to record a new one for a bug that
+ wasn't previously noted as having been forwarded.
+
+ notforwarded bugnumber
+ Forgets any idea that bugnumber has been forwarded to any
+ upstream maintainer. If the bug was not recorded as having been
+ forwarded then this will do nothing.
+
+ retitle bugnumber new-title
+ Changes the title of a bug report to that specified (the
+ default is the Subject mail header from the original report).
+
+ Unlike most of the other bug-manipulation commands when used on
+ one of a set of merged reports this will change the title of
+ only the individual bug requested, and not all those with which
+ it is merged.
+
+ severity bugnumber severity
+ Set the severity level for bug report #bugnumber to severity.
+ No notification is sent to the user who reported the bug.
+
+ Severities are critical, grave, serious, important, normal,
+ minor, and wishlist.
+
+ For their meanings please consult the general developers'
+ documentation for the bug system.
+
+ clone bugnumber NewID [ new IDs ... ]
+ The clone control command allows you to duplicate a bug report.
+ It is useful in the case where a single report actually
+ indicates that multiple distinct bugs have occurred. "New IDs"
+ are negative numbers, separated by spaces, which may be used in
+ subsequent control commands to refer to the newly duplicated
+ bugs. A new report is generated for each new ID.
+
+ Example usage:
+
+ clone 12345 -1 -2
+ reassign -1 foo
+ retitle -1 foo: foo sucks
+ reassign -2 bar
+ retitle -2 bar: bar sucks when used with foo
+ severity -2 wishlist
+ clone 123456 -3
+ reassign -3 foo
+ retitle -3 foo: foo sucks
+ merge -1 -3
+
+ merge bugnumber bugnumber ...
+ Merges two or more bug reports. When reports are merged
+ opening, closing, marking or unmarking as forwarded and
+ reassigning any of the bugs to a new package will have an
+ identical effect on all of the merged reports.
+
+ Before bugs can be merged they must be in exactly the same
+ state: either all open or all closed, with the same
+ forwarded-to upstream author address or all not marked as
+ forwarded, all assigned to the same package or package(s) (an
+ exact string comparison is done on the package to which the bug
+ is assigned), and all of the same severity. If they don't start
+ out in the same state you should use reassign, reopen and so
+ forth to make sure that they are before using merge. Titles are
+ not required to match, and will not be affected by the merge.
+ Tags are not required to match, either, they will be joined.
+
+ If any of the bugs listed in a merge command is already merged
+ with another bug then all the reports merged with any of the
+ ones listed will all be merged together. Merger is like
+ equality: it is reflexive, transitive and symmetric.
+
+ Merging reports causes a note to appear on each report's logs;
+ on the WWW pages this is includes links to the other bugs.
+
+ Merged reports are all expired simultaneously, and only when
+ all of the reports each separately meet the criteria for
+ expiry.
+
+ forcemerge bugnumber bugnumber ...
+ Forcibly merges two or more bug reports. The first bug listed
+ is the master bug, and its settings (the settings which must be
+ equal in a normal merge) are assigned to the bugs listed next.
+ To avoid typos erroneously merging bugs, bugs must be in the
+ same package. See the text above for a description of what
+ merging means.
+
+ Note that this makes it possible to close bugs by merging; you
+ are responsible for notifying submitters with an appropriate
+ close message if you do this.
+
+ unmerge bugnumber
+ Disconnects a bug report from any other reports with which it
+ may have been merged. If the report listed is merged with
+ several others then they are all left merged with each other;
+ only their associations with the bug explicitly named are
+ removed.
+
+ If many bug reports are merged and you wish to split them into
+ two separate groups of merged reports you must unmerge each
+ report in one of the new groups separately and then merge them
+ into the required new group.
+
+ You can only unmerge one report with each unmerge command; if
+ you want to disconnect more than one bug simply include several
+ unmerge commands in your message.
+
+ tags bugnumber [ + | - | = ] tag [ tag ... ]
+ Sets tags for the bug report #bugnumber. No notification is
+ sent to the user who reported the bug. Setting the action to +
+ means to add each given tag, - means to remove each given tag,
+ and = means to ignore the current tags and set them afresh to
+ the list provided. The default action is adding.
+
+ Example usage:
+
+ # same as 'tags 123456 + patch'
+ tags 123456 patch
+
+ # same as 'tags 123456 + help security'
+ tags 123456 help security
+
+ # add 'fixed' and 'pending' tags
+ tags 123456 + fixed pending
+
+ # remove 'unreproducible' tag
+ tags 123456 - unreproducible
+
+ # set tags to exactly 'moreinfo' and 'unreproducible'
+ tags 123456 = moreinfo unreproducible
+
+ Available tags currently include patch, wontfix, moreinfo,
+ unreproducible, help, pending, fixed, fixed-in-experimental,
+ fixed-upstream, security, upstream, confirmed, d-i, ipv6, lfs,
+ l10n, potato, woody, sarge, sarge-ignore, etch, etch-ignore,
+ sid, and experimental.
+
+ For their meanings please consult the general developers'
+ documentation for the bug system.
+
+ block bugnumber by bug ...
+ Note that the fix for the first bug is blocked the the other
+ listed bugs.
+
+ unblock bugnumber by bug ...
+ Note that the fix for the first bug is no longer blocked the
+ the other listed bugs.
+
+ close bugnumber [ fixed-version ] (deprecated)
+ Close bug report #bugnumber.
+
+ A notification is sent to the user who reported the bug, but
+ (in contrast to mailing bugnumber-done at bugs.debian.org) the
+ text of the mail which caused the bug to be closed is not
+ included in that notification. The maintainer who closes a
+ report needs to ensure, probably by sending a separate message,
+ that the user who reported the bug knows why it is being
+ closed. The use of this command is therefore deprecated. See
+ the developer's information about how to close a bug properly.
+
+ If you supply a fixed-version, the bug tracking system will
+ note that the bug was fixed in that version of the package.
+
+ package [ packagename ... ]
+ Limits the following commands so that they will only apply to
+ bugs filed against the listed packages. You can list one or
+ more packages. If you don't list any packages, the following
+ commands will apply to all bugs. You're encouraged to use this
+ as a safety feature in case you accidentally use the wrong bug
+ numbers.
+
+ Example usage:
+
+ package foo
+ reassign 123456 bar 1.0-1
+
+ package bar
+ retitle 123456 bar: bar sucks
+ severity 123456 normal
+
+ package
+ severity 234567 wishlist
+
+ owner bugnumber address | !
+ Sets address to be the "owner" of #bugnumber. The owner of a
+ bug claims responsibility for fixing it and will receive all
+ mail regarding it. This is useful to share out work in cases
+ where a package has a team of maintainers.
+
+ If you wish to become the owner of the bug yourself, you can
+ use the ! shorthand or specify your own email address.
+
+ noowner bugnumber
+ Forgets any idea that the bug has an owner other than the usual
+ maintainer. If the bug had no owner recorded then this will do
+ nothing.
+
+ #...
+ One-line comment. The # must be at the start of the line. The
+ text of comments will be included in the acknowledgement sent
+ to the sender and to affected maintainers, so you can use this
+ to document the reasons for your commands.
+
+ quit
+ stop
+ thank...
+ --...
+ Tells the control server to stop processing the message; the
+ remainder of the message can include explanations, signatures
+ or anything else, none of it will be detected by the control
+ server.

+How to report a bug in Debian
+
+Important things to note before sending
+
+ Please don't report multiple unrelated bugs - especially ones in
+ different packages - in a single bug report. It makes our lives much
+ easier if you send separate reports.
+
+ You should check if your bug report has already been filed by someone
+ else before submitting it. Lists of currently outstanding bugs are
+ available on the World Wide Web and elsewhere - see other documents
+ for details. You can submit your comments to an existing bug report
+ #<number> by sending e-mail to <number>@bugs.debian.org
+
+ If you can't seem to determine which package contains the problem,
+ please send e-mail to the Debian user mailing list asking for advice.
+ If your problem doesn't relate just to one package but some general
+ Debian service, there are several pseudo-packages or even mailing
+ lists that you can use to relay your message to us instead.
+
+ If you'd like to send a copy of your bug report to additional
+ recipients (such as mailing lists), you shouldn't use the usual e-mail
+ headers, but a different method, described below.
+
+Sending the bug report using an automatic bug report tool
+
+ The reportbug program can ease filing bugs by guiding you through the
+ bug reporting process step by step. The querybts tool, available from
+ the same package as reportbug, provides a convenient text-based
+ interface to the bug tracking system.
+
+ Emacs users can also use the debian-bug command provided by the
+ debian-el package. When called with M-x debian-bug, it will ask for
+ all necessary information in a similar way to reportbug.
+
+Sending the bug report via e-mail
+
+ Send email to submit at bugs.debian.org, as described below.
+
+ Of course, like any email, you should include a clear, descriptive
+ Subject line in your main mail header. The subject you give will be
+ used as the initial bug title in the tracking system, so please try to
+ make it informative!
+
+ You need to put a pseudo-header at the start of the body of the
+ message. That means that the first line of the message body should
+ say:
+Package: <something>
+
+ Replace <something> with the name of the package which has the bug.
+
+ The second line of the message should say:
+Version: <something>
+
+ Replace <something> with the version of the package. Please don't
+ include any text here other than the version itself, as the bug
+ tracking system relies on this field to work out which releases are
+ affected by the bug.
+
+ You need to supply a correct Package line in the pseudo-header in
+ order for the bug tracking system to deliver the message to the
+ package's maintainer. See this example for information on how to find
+ this information.
+
+ The pseudo-header fields should start at the very start of their
+ lines.
+
+ Please include in your report:
+ * The exact and complete text of any error messages printed or
+ logged. This is very important!
+ * Exactly what you typed or did to demonstrate the problem.
+ * A description of the incorrect behaviour: exactly what behaviour
+ you were expecting, and what you observed. A transcript of an
+ example session is a good way of showing this.
+ * A suggested fix, or even a patch, if you have one.
+ * Details of the configuration of the program with the problem.
+ Include the complete text of its configuration files.
+ * The versions of any packages on which the buggy package depends.
+ * What kernel version you're using (type uname -a), your shared C
+ library (type ls -l /lib/libc.so.6 or dpkg -s libc6 | grep
+ ^Version), and any other details about your Debian system, if it
+ seems appropriate. For example, if you had a problem with a Perl
+ script, you would want to provide the version of the `perl' binary
+ (type perl -v or dpkg -s perl | grep ^Version:).
+ * Appropriate details of the hardware in your system. If you're
+ reporting a problem with a device driver please list all the
+ hardware in your system, as problems are often caused by IRQ and
+ I/O address conflicts.
+
+ Include any detail that seems relevant - you are in very little danger
+ of making your report too long by including too much information. If
+ they are small please include in your report any files you were using
+ to reproduce the problem (uuencoding them if they may contain odd
+ characters etc.).
+
+ For more advice on how to help the developers solve your problem,
+ please read How to Report Bugs Effectively.
+
+Example
+
+ A bug report, with mail header, looks something like this:
+ To: submit at bugs.debian.org
+ From: diligent at testing.linux.org
+ Subject: Hello says `goodbye'
+
+ Package: hello
+ Version: 1.3-16
+
+ When I invoke `hello' without arguments from an ordinary shell
+ prompt it prints `goodbye', rather than the expected `hello, world'.
+ Here is a transcript:
+
+ $ hello
+ goodbye
+ $ /usr/bin/hello
+ goodbye
+ $
+
+ I suggest that the output string, in hello.c, be corrected.
+
+ I am using Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, kernel 2.2.17-pre-patch-13
+ and libc6 2.1.3-10.
+
+Sending copies of bug reports to other addresses
+
+ Sometimes it is necessary to send a copy of a bug report to somewhere
+ else besides debian-bugs-dist and the package maintainer, which is
+ where they are normally sent.
+
+ You could do this by CC'ing your bug report to the other address(es),
+ but then the other copies would not have the bug report number put in
+ the Reply-To field and the Subject line. When the recipients reply
+ they will probably preserve the submit at bugs.debian.org entry in the
+ header and have their message filed as a new bug report. This leads to
+ many duplicated reports.
+
+ The right way to do this is to use the X-Debbugs-CC header. Add a line
+ like this to your message's mail header:
+ X-Debbugs-CC: other-list at cosmic.edu
+
+ This will cause the bug tracking system to send a copy of your report
+ to the address(es) in the X-Debbugs-CC line as well as to
+ debian-bugs-dist.
+
+ Avoid sending such copies to the addresses of other bug reports, as
+ they will be caught by the checks that prevent mail loops. There is
+ relatively little point in using X-Debbugs-CC for this anyway, as the
+ bug number added by that mechanism will just be replaced by a new one;
+ use an ordinary CC header instead.
+
+ This feature can often be combined usefully with mailing quiet - see
+ below.
+
+Severity levels
+
+ If a report is of a particularly serious bug, or is merely a feature
+ request that, you can set the severity level of the bug as you report
+ it. This is not required, however, and the developers will assign an
+ appropriate severity level to your report if you do not.
+
+ To assign a severity level, put a line like this one in the
+ pseudo-header:
+Severity: <severity>
+
+ Replace <severity> with one of the available severity levels, as
+ described in the developers' documentation.
+
+Assigning tags
+
+ You can set tags on a bug as you are reporting it. For example, if you
+ are including a patch with your bug report, you may wish to set the
+ patch tag. This is not required, however, and the developers will set
+ tags on your report as and when it is appropriate.
+
+ To set tags, put a line like this one in the pseudo-header:
+Tags: <tags>
+
+ Replace <tags> with one or more of the available tags, as described in
+ the developers' documentation. Separate multiple tags with commas,
+ spaces, or both.
+
+Other pseudo headers (primarily of interest to package maintainers)
+
+Forwarded: foo at example.com
+
+ will mark the newly submitted bug as forwarded to foo at example.com. See
+ Recording that you have passed on a bug report in the developers'
+ documentation for details.
+Owner: foo at example.com
+
+ will indicate that foo at example.com is now responsible for fixing this
+ bug. See Changing bug ownership in the developers' documentation for
+ details.
+Source: foopackage
+
+ the equivalent of Package: for bugs present in the source package of
+ foopackage; for most bugs in most packages you don't want to use this
+ option.
+
+ Finally, if your MUA doesn't allow you to edit the headers, you can
+ set the various X-Debbugs- headers in the pseudo-headers.
+
+Different submission addresses (minor or mass bug reports)
+
+ If a bug report is minor, for example, a documentation typo or a
+ trivial build problem, please adjust the severity appropriately and
+ send it to maintonly at bugs instead of submit at bugs. maintonly will
+ forward the report to the package maintainer only, it won't forward it
+ to the BTS mailing lists.
+
+ If you're submitting many reports at once, you should definitely use
+ maintonly at bugs so that you don't cause too much redundant traffic on
+ the BTS mailing lists. Before submitting many similar bugs you may
+ also want to post a summary on debian-bugs-dist.
+
+ If wish to report a bug to the bug tracking system that's already been
+ sent to the maintainer, you can use quiet at bugs. Bugs sent to
+ quiet at bugs will not be forwarded anywhere, only filed.
+
+ When you use different submission addresses, the bug tracking system
+ will set the Reply-To of any forwarded message so that the replies
+ will by default be processed in the same way as the original report.
+ That means that, for example, replies to maintonly will go to
+ nnn-maintonly at bugs instead of nnn at bugs, unless of course one overrides
+ this manually.
+
+Acknowledgements
+
+ Normally, the bug tracking system will return an acknowledgement to
+ you by e-mail when you report a new bug or submit additional
+ information to an existing bug. If you want to suppress this
+ acknowledgement, include an X-Debbugs-No-Ack header in your e-mail
+ (the contents of this header do not matter; however, it must be in the
+ mail header and not in the pseudo-header with the Package field). If
+ you report a new bug with this header, you will need to check the web
+ interface yourself to find the bug number.
+
+ Note that this header will not suppress acknowledgements from the
+ control at bugs mailserver, since those acknowledgements may contain
+ error messages which should be read and acted upon.
+
+Bug reports against unknown packages
+
+ If the bug tracking system doesn't know who the maintainer of the
+ relevant package is it'll forward the report to debian-bugs-dist even
+ if maintonly was used.
+
+ When sending to maintonly at bugs or nnn-maintonly at bugs you should make
+ sure that the bug report is assigned to the right package, by putting
+ a correct Package at the top of an original submission of a report, or
+ by using the control at bugs service to (re)assign the report
+ appropriately first if it isn't correct already.
+
+Using dpkg to find the package and version for the report
+
+ If you are reporting a bug in a command, you can find out which
+ package installed it by using dpkg --search. You can find out which
+ version of a package you have installed by using dpkg --list or dpkg
+ --status.
+
+ For example:
+$ which apt-get
+/usr/bin/apt-get
+$ type apt-get
+apt-get is /usr/bin/apt-get
+$ dpkg --search /usr/bin/apt-get
+apt: /usr/bin/apt-get
+$ dpkg --list apt
+Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

+ Debian Constitution
+
+ Constitution for the Debian Project (v1.0)
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made
+ common cause to create a free operating system.
+
+ This document describes the organisational structure for formal
+ decisionmaking in the Project. It does not describe the goals of the
+ Project or how it achieves them, or contain any policies except those
+ directly related to the decisionmaking process.
+
+2. Decisionmaking bodies and individuals
+
+ Each decision in the Project is made by one or more of the following:
+ 1. The Developers, by way of General Resolution or an election;
+ 2. The Project Leader;
+ 3. The Technical Committee and/or its Chairman;
+ 4. The individual Developer working on a particular task;
+ 5. Delegates appointed by the Project Leader for specific tasks.
+ 6. The Project Secretary;
+
+ Most of the remainder of this document will outline the powers of
+ these bodies, their composition and appointment, and the procedure for
+ their decisionmaking. The powers of a person or body may be subject to
+ review and/or limitation by others; in this case the reviewing body or
+ person's entry will state this. In the list above, a person or body is
+ usually listed before any people or bodies whose decisions they can
+ overrule or who they (help) appoint - but not everyone listed earlier
+ can overrule everyone listed later.
+
+ 2.1. General rules
+
+ 1. Nothing in this constitution imposes an obligation on anyone to do
+ work for the Project. A person who does not want to do a task
+ which has been delegated or assigned to them does not need to do
+ it. However, they must not actively work against these rules and
+ decisions properly made under them.
+ 2. A person may hold several posts, except that the Project Leader,
+ Project Secretary and the Chairman of the Technical Committee must
+ be distinct, and that the Leader cannot appoint themselves as
+ their own Delegate.
+ 3. A person may leave the Project or resign from a particular post
+ they hold, at any time, by stating so publicly.
+
+3. Individual Developers
+
+ 3.1. Powers
+
+ An individual Developer may
+ 1. make any technical or nontechnical decision with regard to their
+ own work;
+ 2. propose or sponsor draft General Resolutions;
+ 3. propose themselves as a Project Leader candidate in elections;
+ 4. vote on General Resolutions and in Leadership elections.
+
+ 3.2. Composition and appointment
+
+ 1. Developers are volunteers who agree to further the aims of the
+ Project insofar as they participate in it, and who maintain
+ package(s) for the Project or do other work which the Project
+ Leader's Delegate(s) consider worthwhile.
+ 2. The Project Leader's Delegate(s) may choose not to admit new
+ Developers, or expel existing Developers. If the Developers feel
+ that the Delegates are abusing their authority they can of course
+ override the decision by way of General Resolution - see s.4.1(3),
+ s.4.2.
+
+ 3.3. Procedure
+
+ Developers may make these decisions as they see fit.
+
+4. The Developers by way of General Resolution or election
+
+ 4.1. Powers
+
+ Together, the Developers may:
+ 1. Appoint or recall the Project Leader.
+ 2. Amend this constitution, provided they agree with a 3:1 majority.
+ 3. Override any decision by the Project Leader or a Delegate.
+ 4. Override any decision by the Technical Committee, provided they
+ agree with a 2:1 majority.
+ 5. Issue nontechnical policy documents and statements.
+ These include documents describing the goals of the project, its
+ relationship with other free software entities, and nontechnical
+ policies such as the free software licence terms that Debian
+ software must meet.
+ They may also include position statements about issues of the day.
+ 6. Together with the Project Leader and SPI, make decisions about
+ property held in trust for purposes related to Debian. (See
+ s.9.1.)
+
+ 4.2. Procedure
+
+ 1. The Developers follow the Standard Resolution Procedure, below. A
+ resolution or amendment is introduced if proposed by any Developer
+ and sponsored by at least K other Developers, or if proposed by
+ the Project Leader or the Technical Committee.
+ 2. Delaying a decision by the Project Leader or their Delegate:
+ 1. If the Project Leader or their Delegate, or the Technical
+ Committee, has made a decision, then Developers can override
+ them by passing a resolution to do so; see s4.1(3).
+ 2. If such a resolution is sponsored by at least 2K Developers,
+ or if it is proposed by the Technical Committee, the
+ resolution puts the decision immediately on hold (provided
+ that resolution itself says so).
+ 3. If the original decision was to change a discussion period or
+ a voting period, or the resolution is to override the
+ Technical Committee, then only K Developers need to sponsor
+ the resolution to be able to put the decision immediately on
+ hold.
+ 4. If the decision is put on hold, an immediate vote is held to
+ determine whether the decision will stand until the full vote
+ on the decision is made or whether the implementation of the
+ original decision will be be delayed until then. There is no
+ quorum for this immediate procedural vote.
+ 5. If the Project Leader (or the Delegate) withdraws the
+ original decision, the vote becomes moot, and is no longer
+ conducted.
+ 3. Votes are taken by the Project Secretary. Votes and tallies
+ results are not be revealed during the voting period; after the
+ vote the Project Secretary lists all the votes cast. The voting
+ period is 2 weeks, but may be varied by up to 1 week by the
+ Project Leader, and may be ended by the Project Secretary when the
+ outcome of a vote is no longer in doubt.
+ 4. The minimum discussion period is 2 weeks, but may be varied by up
+ to 1 week by the Project Leader. The Project Leader has a casting
+ vote. There is a quorum of 3Q.
+ 5. Proposals, sponsors, amendments, calls for votes and other formal
+ actions are made by announcement on a publicly-readable electronic
+ mailing list designated by the Project Leader's Delegate(s); any
+ Developer may post there.
+ 6. Votes are cast by email in a manner suitable to the Secretary. The
+ Secretary determines for each poll whether voters can change their
+ votes.
+ 7. Q is half of the square root of the number of current Developers.
+ K is Q or 5, whichever is the smaller. Q and K need not be
+ integers and are not rounded.
+
+5. Project Leader
+
+ 5.1. Powers
+
+ The Project Leader may:
+ 1. Appoint Delegates or delegate decisions to the Technical
+ Committee.
+ The Leader may define an area of ongoing responsibility or a
+ specific decision and hand it over to another Developer or to the
+ Technical Committee.
+ Once a particular decision has been delegated and made the Project
+ Leader may not withdraw that delegation; however, they may
+ withdraw an ongoing delegation of particular area of
+ responsibility.
+ 2. Lend authority to other Developers.
+ The Project Leader may make statements of support for points of
+ view or for other members of the project, when asked or otherwise;
+ these statements have force if and only if the Leader would be
+ empowered to make the decision in question.
+ 3. Make any decision which requires urgent action.
+ This does not apply to decisions which have only become gradually
+ urgent through lack of relevant action, unless there is a fixed
+ deadline.
+ 4. Make any decision for whom noone else has responsibility.
+ 5. Propose draft General Resolutions and amendments.
+ 6. Together with the Technical Committee, appoint new members to the
+ Committee. (See s.6.2.)
+ 7. Use a casting vote when Developers vote.
+ The Project Leader also has a normal vote in such ballots.
+ 8. Vary the discussion period for Developers' votes (as above).
+ 9. Lead discussions amongst Developers.
+ The Project Leader should attempt to participate in discussions
+ amongst the Developers in a helpful way which seeks to bring the
+ discussion to bear on the key issues at hand. The Project Leader
+ should not use the Leadership position to promote their own
+ personal views.
+ 10. Together with SPI, make decisions affecting property held in trust
+ for purposes related to Debian. (See s.9.1.)
+
+ 5.2. Appointment
+
+ 1. The Project Leader is elected by the Developers.
+ 2. The election begins nine weeks before the leadership post becomes
+ vacant, or (if it is too late already) immediately.
+ 3. For the following three weeks any Developer may nominate
+ themselves as a candidate Project Leader.
+ 4. For three weeks after that no more candidates may be nominated;
+ candidates should use this time for campaigning (to make their
+ identities and positions known). If there are no candidates at the
+ end of the nomination period then the nomination period is
+ extended for three further weeks, repeatedly if necessary.
+ 5. The next three weeks are the polling period during which
+ Developers may cast their votes. Votes in leadership elections are
+ kept secret, even after the election is finished.
+ 6. The options on the ballot will be those candidates who have
+ nominated themselves and have not yet withdrawn, plus None Of The
+ Above. If None Of The Above wins the election then the election
+ procedure is repeated, many times if necessary.
+ 7. The decision will be made using Concorde Vote Counting. The quorum
+ is the same as for a General Resolution (s.4.2) and the default
+ option is None Of The Above.
+ 8. The Project Leader serves for one year from their election.
+
+ 5.3. Procedure
+
+ The Project Leader should attempt to make decisions which are
+ consistent with the consensus of the opinions of the Developers.
+
+ Where practical the Project Leader should informally solicit the views
+ of the Developers.
+
+ The Project Leader should avoid overemphasizing their own point of
+ view when making decisions in their capacity as Leader.
+
+6. Technical committee
+
+ 6.1. Powers
+
+ The Technical Committee may:
+ 1. Decide on any matter of technical policy.
+ This includes the contents of the technical policy manuals,
+ developers' reference materials, example packages and the
+ behaviour of non-experimental package building tools. (In each
+ case the usual maintainer of the relevant software or
+ documentation makes decisions initially, however; see 6.3(5).)
+ 2. Decide any technical matter where Developers' jurisdictions
+ overlap.
+ In cases where Developers need to implement compatible technical
+ policies or stances (for example, if they disagree about the
+ priorities of conflicting packages, or about ownership of a
+ command name, or about which package is responsible for a bug that
+ both maintainers agree is a bug, or about who should be the
+ maintainer for a package) the technical committee may decide the
+ matter.
+ 3. Make a decision when asked to do so.
+ Any person or body may delegate a decision of their own to the
+ Technical Committee, or seek advice from it.
+ 4. Overrule a Developer (requires a 3:1 majority).
+ The Technical Committee may ask a Developer to take a particular
+ technical course of action even if the Developer does not wish to;
+ this requires a 3:1 majority. For example, the Committee may
+ determine that a complaint made by the submitter of a bug is
+ justified and that the submitter's proposed solution should be
+ implemented.
+ 5. Offer advice.
+ The Technical Committee may make formal announcements about its
+ views on any matter. Individual members may of course make
+ informal statements about their views and about the likely views
+ of the committee.
+ 6. Together with the Project Leader, appoint new members to itself or
+ remove existing members. (See s.6.2.)
+ 7. Appoint the Chairman of the Technical Committee.
+ The Chairman is elected by the Committee from its members. All
+ members of the committee are automatically nominated; the
+ committee vote starting one week before the post will become
+ vacant (or immediately, if it is already too late). The members
+ may vote by public acclamation for any fellow committee member,
+ including themselves; there is no None Of The Above option. The
+ vote finishes when all the members have voted or when the outcome
+ is no longer in doubt. The result is determined according to
+ Concorde Vote Counting.
+ 8. The Chairman can stand in for the Leader, together with the
+ Secretary
+ As detailed in s.7.1(2), the Chairman of the Technical Committee
+ and the Project Secretary may together stand in for the Leader if
+ there is no Leader.
+
+ 6.2. Composition
+
+ 1. The Technical Committee consists of up to 8 Developers, and should
+ usually have at least 4 members.
+ 2. When there are fewer than 8 members the Technical Committee may
+ recommend new member(s) to the Project Leader, who may choose
+ (individually) to appoint them or not.
+ 3. When there are 5 members or fewer the Technical Committee may
+ appoint new member(s) until the number of members reaches 6.
+ 4. When there have been 5 members or fewer for at least one week the
+ Project Leader may appoint new member(s) until the number of
+ members reaches 6, at intervals of at least one week per
+ appointment.
+ 5. If the Technical Committee and the Project Leader agree they may
+ remove or replace an existing member of the Technical Committee.
+
+ 6.3. Procedure
+
+ 1. The Technical Committee uses the Standard Resolution Procedure.
+ A draft resolution or amendment may be proposed by any member of
+ the Technical Committee. There is no minimum discussion period;
+ the voting period lasts for up to one week, or until the outcome
+ is no longer in doubt. Members may change their votes. There is a
+ quorum of two.
+ 2. Details regarding voting
+ The Chairman has a casting vote. When the Technical Committee
+ votes whether to override a Developer who also happens to be a
+ member of the Committee, that member may not vote (unless they are
+ the Chairman, in which case they may use only their casting vote).
+ 3. Public discussion and decisionmaking.
+ Discussion, draft resolutions and amendments, and votes by members
+ of the committee, are made public on the Technical Committee
+ public discussion list. There is no separate secretary for the
+ Committee.
+ 4. Confidentiality of appointments.
+ The Technical Committee may hold confidential discussions via
+ private email or a private mailing list or other means to discuss
+ appointments to the Committee. However, votes on appointments must
+ be public.
+ 5. No detailed design work.
+ The Technical Committee does not engage in design of new proposals
+ and policies. Such design work should be carried out by
+ individuals privately or together and discussed in ordinary
+ technical policy and design forums.
+ The Technical Committee restricts itself to choosing from or
+ adopting compromises between solutions and decisions which have
+ been proposed and reasonably thoroughly discussed elsewhere.
+ Individual members of the technical committee may of course
+ participate on their own behalf in any aspect of design and policy
+ work.
+ 6. Technical Committee makes decisions only as last resort.
+ The Technical Committee does not make a technical decision until
+ efforts to resolve it via consensus have been tried and failed,
+ unless it has been asked to make a decision by the person or body
+ who would normally be responsible for it.
+
+7. The Project Secretary
+
+ 7.1. Powers
+
+ The Secretary:
+ 1. Takes votes amongst the Developers, and determines the number and
+ identity of Developers, whenever this is required by the
+ constitution.
+ 2. Can stand in for the Leader, together with the Chairman of the
+ Technical Committee.
+ If there is no Project Leader then the Chairman of the Technical
+ Committee and the Project Secretary may by joint agreement make
+ decisions if they consider it imperative to do so.
+ 3. Adjudicates any disputes about interpretation of the constitution.
+ 4. May delegate part or all of their authority to someone else, or
+ withdraw such a delegation at any time.
+
+ 7.2. Appointment
+
+ The Project Secretary is appointed by the Project Leader and the
+ current Project Secretary.
+
+ If the Project Leader and the current Project Secretary cannot agree
+ on a new appointment they must ask the board of SPI to appoint a
+ Secretary.
+
+ If there is no Project Secretary or the current Secretary is
+ unavailable and has not delegated authority for a decision then the
+ decision may be made or delegated by the Chairman of the Technical
+ Committee, as Acting Secretary.
+
+ The Project Secretary's term of office is 1 year, at which point they
+ or another Secretary must be (re)appointed.
+
+ 7.3. Procedure
+
+ The Project Secretary should make decisions which are fair and
+ reasonable, and preferably consistent with the consensus of the
+ Developers.
+
+ When acting together to stand in for an absent Project Leader the
+ Chairman of the Technical Committee and the Project Secretary should
+ make decisions only when absolutely necessary and only when consistent
+ with the consensus of the Developers.
+
+8. The Project Leader's Delegates
+
+ 8.1. Powers
+
+ The Project Leader's Delegates:
+ 1. have powers delegated to them by the Project Leader;
+ 2. may make certain decisions which the Leader may not make directly,
+ including approving or expelling Developers or designating people
+ as Developers who do not maintain packages. This is to avoid
+ concentration of power, particularly over membership as a
+ Developer, in the hands of the Project Leader.
+
+ 8.2. Appointment
+
+ The Delegates are appointed by the Project Leader and may be replaced
+ by the Leader at the Leader's discretion. The Project Leader may not
+ make the position as a Delegate conditional on particular decisions by
+ the Delegate, nor may they override a decision made by a Delegate once
+ made.
+
+ 8.3. Procedure
+
+ Delegates may make decisions as they see fit, but should attempt to
+ implement good technical decisions and/or follow consensus opinion.
+
+9. Software in the Public Interest
+
+ SPI and Debian are separate organisations who share some goals. Debian
+ is grateful for the legal support framework offered by SPI. Debian's
+ Developers are currently members of SPI by virtue of their status as
+ Developers.
+
+ 9.1. Authority
+
+ 1. SPI has no authority regarding Debian's technical or nontechnical
+ decisions, except that no decision by Debian with respect to any
+ property held by SPI shall require SPI to act outside its legal
+ authority, and that Debian's constitution may occasionally use SPI
+ as a decision body of last resort.
+ 2. Debian claims no authority over SPI other than that over the use
+ of certain of SPI's property, as described below, though Debian
+ Developers may be granted authority within SPI by SPI's rules.
+ 3. Debian Developers are not agents or employees of SPI, or of each
+ other or of persons in authority in the Debian Project. A person
+ acting as a Developer does so as an individual, on their own
+ behalf.
+
+ 9.2. Management of property for purposes related to Debian
+
+ Since Debian has no authority to hold money or property, any donations
+ for the Debian Project must made to SPI, which manages such affairs.
+
+ SPI have made the following undertakings:
+ 1. SPI will hold money, trademarks and other tangible and intangible
+ property and manage other affairs for purposes related to Debian.
+ 2. Such property will be accounted for separately and held in trust
+ for those purposes, decided on by Debian and SPI according to this
+ section.
+ 3. SPI will not dispose of or use property held in trust for Debian
+ without approval from Debian, which may be granted by the Project
+ Leader or by General Resolution of the Developers.
+ 4. SPI will consider using or disposing of property held in trust for
+ Debian when asked to do so by the Project Leader.
+ 5. SPI will use or dispose of property held in trust for Debian when
+ asked to do so by a General Resolution of the Developers, provided
+ that this is compatible with SPI's legal authority.
+ 6. SPI will notify the Developers by electronic mail to a Debian
+ Project mailing list when it uses or disposes of property held in
+ trust for Debian.
+
+A. Standard Resolution Procedure
+
+ These rules apply to communal decisionmaking by committees and
+ plebiscites, where stated above.
+
+ A.1. Proposal
+
+ The formal procedure begins when a draft resolution is proposed and
+ sponsored, as required.
+
+ A.1. Discussion and Amendment
+
+ 1. Following the proposal, the resolution may be discussed.
+ Amendments may be made formal by being proposed and sponsored
+ according to the requirements for a new resolution, or directly by
+ the proposer of the original resolution.
+ 2. A formal amendment may be accepted by the resolution's proposer,
+ in which case the formal resolution draft is immediately changed
+ to match.
+ 3. If a formal amendment is not accepted, or one of the sponsors of
+ the resolution does not agree with the acceptance by the proposer
+ of a formal amendment, the amendment remains as an amendment and
+ will be voted on.
+ 4. If an amendment accepted by the original proposer is not to the
+ liking of others, they may propose another amendment to reverse
+ the earlier change (again, they must meet the requirements for
+ proposer and sponsor(s).)
+ 5. The proposer or a resolution may suggest changes to the wordings
+ of amendments; these take effect if the proposer of the amendment
+ agrees and none of the sponsors object. In this case the changed
+ amendments will be voted on instead of the originals.
+ 6. The proposer of a resolution may make changes to correct minor
+ errors (for example, typographical errors or inconsistencies) or
+ changes which do not alter the meaning, providing noone objects
+ within 24 hours. In this case the mininum discussion period is not
+ restarted.
+
+ A.2. Calling for a vote
+
+ 1. The proposer or a sponsor of a motion or an amendment may call for
+ a vote, providing that the minimum discussion period (if any) has
+ elapsed.
+ 2. The proposer or a sponsor of a motion may call for a vote on any
+ or all of the amendments individually or together; the proposer or
+ sponsor of an amendment may call for a vote only on that amendment
+ and related amendments.
+ 3. The person who calls for a vote states what they believe the
+ wordings of the resolution and any relevant amendments are, and
+ consequently what form the ballot should take. However, the final
+ decision on the form of ballot(s) is the Secretary's - see 7.1(1),
+ 7.1(3) and A.3(6).
+ 4. The minimum discussion period is counted from the time the last
+ formal amendment was accepted, or the last related formal
+ amendment was accepted if an amendment is being voted on, or since
+ the whole resolution was proposed if no amendments have been
+ proposed and accepted.
+
+ A.3. Voting procedure
+
+ 1. Each independent set of related amendments is voted on in a
+ separate ballot. Each such ballot has as options all the sensible
+ combinations of amendments and options, and an option Further
+ Discussion. If Further Discussion wins then the entire resolution
+ procedure is set back to the start of the discussion period. No
+ quorum is required for an amendment.
+ 2. When the final form of the resolution has been determined it is
+ voted on in a final ballot, in which the options are Yes, No and
+ Further Discussion. If Further Discussion wins then the entire
+ procedure is set back to the start of the discussion period.
+ 3. The vote taker (if there is one) or the voters (if voting is done
+ by public pronouncement) may arrange for these ballots to be held
+ simultaneously, even (for example) using a single voting message.
+ If amendment ballot(s) and the final ballot are combined in this
+ way then it must be possible for a voter to vote differently in
+ the final ballot for each of the possible forms of the final draft
+ resolution.
+ 4. Votes may be cast during the voting period, as specified
+ elsewhere. If the voting period can end if the outcome is no
+ longer in doubt, the possibility that voters may change their
+ votes is not considered.
+ 5. The votes are counted according to the Concorde Vote Counting. If
+ a quorum is required then the default option is Further
+ Discussion.
+ 6. In cases of doubt the Project Secretary shall decide on matters of
+ procedure (for example, whether particular amendments should be
+ considered independent or not).
+
+ A.4. Withdrawing resolutions or unaccepted amendments
+
+ The proposer of a resolution or unaccepted amendment may withdraw it.
+ In this case new proposers may come forward keep it alive, in which
+ case the first person to do so becomes the new proposer and any others
+ become sponsors if they aren't sponsors already.
+
+ A sponsor of a resolution or amendment (unless it has been accepted)
+ may withdraw.
+
+ If the withdrawal of the proposer and/or sponsors means that a
+ resolution has no proposer or not enough sponsors it will not be voted
+ on unless this is rectified before the resolution expires.
+
+ A.5. Expiry
+
+ If a proposed resolution has not been discussed, amended, voted on or
+ otherwise dealt with for 4 weeks then it is considered to have been
+ withdrawn.
+
+ A.6. Concorde Vote Counting
+
+ 1. This is used to determine the winner amongst a list of options.
+ Each ballot paper gives a ranking of the voter's preferred
+ options. (The ranking need not be complete.)
+ 2. Option A is said to Dominate option B if strictly more ballots
+ prefer A to B than prefer B to A.
+ 3. All options which are Dominated by at least one other option are
+ discarded, and references to them in ballot papers will be
+ ignored.
+ 4. If there is any option which Dominates all others then that is the
+ winner.
+ 5. If there is now more than one option remaining Single
+ Transferrable Vote will be applied to choose amongst those
+ remaining:
+ + The number of first preferences for each option is counted,
+ and if any option has more than half it is the winner.
+ + Otherwise the option with the lowest number of first
+ preferences is eliminated and its votes redistributed
+ according to the second preferences.
+ + This elimination procedure is repeated, moving down ballot
+ papers to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. preferences as required, until
+ one option gets more than half of the `first' preferences.
+ 6. In the case of ties the elector with a casting vote will decide.
+ The casting vote does not count as a normal vote; however that
+ elector will usually also get a normal vote.
+ 7. If a supermajority is required the number of Yes votes in the
+ final ballot is reduced by an appropriate factor. Strictly
+ speaking, for a supermajority of F:A, the number of ballots which
+ prefer Yes to X (when considering whether Yes Dominates X or X
+ Dominates Yes) or the number of ballots whose first (remaining)
+ preference is Yes (when doing STV comparisons for winner and
+ elimination purposes) is multiplied by a factor A/F before the
+ comparison is done. This means that a 2:1 vote, for example, means
+ twice as many people voted for as against; abstentions are not
+ counted.
+ 8. If a quorum is required, there must be at least that many votes
+ which prefer the winning option to the default option. If there
+ are not then the default option wins after all. For votes
+ requiring a supermajority, the actual number of Yes votes is used
+ when checking whether the quorum has been reached.
+
+ When the Standard Resolution Procedure is to be used, the text which
+ refers to it must specify what is sufficient to have a draft
+ resolution proposed and/or sponsored, what the minimum discussion
+ period is, and what the voting period is. It must also specify any
+ supermajority and/or the quorum (and default option) to be used.
+
+B. Use of language and typography
+
+ The present indicative (`is', for example) means that the statement is
+ a rule in this constitution. `May' or `can' indicates that the person
+ or body has discretion. `Should' means that it would be considered a
+ good thing if the sentence were obeyed, but it is not binding. Text
+ marked as a citation, such as this, is rationale and does not form
+ part of the constitution. It may be used only to aid interpretation in
+ cases of doubt.

+Appendix
+The Debian Manifesto
+********************
+
+
+ The Debian Linux Manifesto
+
+ Written by Ian A. Murdock
+ Revised 01/06/94
+
+
+What is Debian Linux?
+=====================
+
+Debian Linux is a brand-new kind of Linux distribution. Rather than
+being developed by one isolated individual or group, as other
+distributions of Linux have been developed in the past, Debian is being
+developed openly in the spirit of Linux and GNU. The primary purpose
+of the Debian project is to finally create a distribution that lives up
+to the Linux name. Debian is being carefully and conscientiously put
+together and will be maintained and supported with similar care.
+
+It is also an attempt to create a non-commercial distribution that will
+be able to effectively compete in the commercial market. It will
+eventually be distributed by The Free Software Foundation on CD-ROM,
+and The Debian Linux Association will offer the distribution on floppy
+disk and tape along with printed manuals, technical support and other
+end-user essentials. All of the above will be available at little more
+than cost, and the excess will be put toward further development of
+free software for all users. Such distribution is essential to the
+success of the Linux operating system in the commercial market, and it
+must be done by organizations in a position to successfully advance and
+advocate free software without the pressure of profits or returns.
+
+
+Why is Debian being constructed?
+================================
+
+Distributions are essential to the future of Linux. Essentially, they
+eliminate the need for the user to locate, download, compile, install
+and integrate a fairly large number of essential tools to assemble a
+working Linux system. Instead, the burden of system construction is
+placed on the distribution creator, whose work can be shared with
+thousands of other users. Almost all users of Linux will get their
+first taste of it through a distribution, and most users will continue
+to use a distribution for the sake of convenience even after they are
+familiar with the operating system. Thus, distributions play a very
+important role indeed.
+
+Despite their obvious importance, distributions have attracted little
+attention from developers. There is a simple reason for this: they are
+neither easy nor glamorous to construct and require a great deal of
+ongoing effort from the creator to keep the distribution bug-free and
+up-to-date. It is one thing to put together a system from scratch; it
+is quite another to ensure that the system is easy for others to
+install, is installable and usable under a wide variety of hardware
+configurations, contains software that others will find useful, and is
+updated when the components themselves are improved.
+
+Many distributions have started out as fairly good systems, but as time
+passes attention to maintaining the distribution becomes a secondary
+concern. A case-in-point is the Softlanding Linux System (better known
+as SLS). It is quite possibly the most bug-ridden and badly maintained
+Linux distribution available; unfortunately, it is also quite possibly
+the most popular. It is, without question, the distribution that
+attracts the most attention from the many commercial "distributors" of
+Linux that have surfaced to capitalize on the growing popularity of the
+operating system.
+
+This is a bad combination indeed, as most people who obtain Linux from
+these "distributors" receive a bug-ridden and badly maintained Linux
+distribution. As if this wasn't bad enough, these "distributors" have
+a disturbing tendency to misleadingly advertise non-functional or
+extremely unstable "features" of their product. Combine this with the
+fact that the buyers will, of course, expect the product to live up to
+its advertisement and the fact that many may believe it to be a
+commercial operating system (there is also a tendency not to mention
+that Linux is free nor that it is distributed under the GNU General
+Public License). To top it all off, these "distributors" are actually
+making enough money from their effort to justify buying larger
+advertisements in more magazines; it is the classic example of
+unacceptable behavior being rewarded by those who simply do not know
+any better. Clearly something needs to be done to remedy the
+situation.
+
+
+How will Debian attempt to put an end to these problems?
+========================================================
+
+The Debian design process is open to ensure that the system is of the
+highest quality and that it reflects the needs of the user community.
+By involving others with a wide range of abilities and backgrounds,
+Debian is able to be developed in a modular fashion. Its components
+are of high quality because those with expertise in a certain area are
+given the opportunity to construct or maintain the individual
+components of Debian involving that area. Involving others also
+ensures that valuable suggestions for improvement can be incorporated
+into the distribution during its development; thus, a distribution is
+created based on the needs and wants of the users rather than the needs
+and wants of the constructor. It is very difficult for one individual
+or small group to anticipate these needs and wants in advance without
+direct input from others.
+
+Debian Linux will also be distributed on physical media by the Free
+Software Foundation and the Debian Linux Association. This provides
+Debian to users without access to the Internet or FTP and additionally
+makes products and services such as printed manuals and technical
+support available to all users of the system. In this way, Debian may
+be used by many more individuals and organizations than is otherwise
+possible, the focus will be on providing a first-class product and not
+on profits or returns, and the margin from the products and services
+provided may be used to improve the software itself for all users
+whether they paid to obtain it or not.
+
+The Free Software Foundation plays an extremely important role in the
+future of Debian. By the simple fact that they will be distributing
+it, a message is sent to the world that Linux is not a commercial
+product and that it never should be, but that this does not mean that
+Linux will never be able to compete commercially. For those of you who
+disagree, I challenge you to rationalize the success of GNU Emacs and
+GCC, which are not commercial software but which have had quite an
+impact on the commercial market regardless of that fact.
+
+The time has come to concentrate on the future of Linux rather than on
+the destructive goal of enriching oneself at the expense of the entire
+Linux community and its future. The development and distribution of
+Debian may not be the answer to the problems that I have outlined in
+the Manifesto, but I hope that it will at least attract enough
+attention to these problems to allow them to be solved.

+ Introduction to the Debian mailing lists
+ ========================================
+
+ Debian GNU/Linux is developed through distributed development all
+ around the world. Therefore, email is the preferred way to discuss
+ various items. Much of the conversation between Debian developers
+ and users is managed through several mailing lists.
+
+ There are many world-open mailing lists, meaning anyone can read
+ everything that is posted, and participate in the discussions. Everyone is
+ encouraged to help development of Debian and to spread the word of free
+ software. There are also a few lists which are only open to official Debian
+ developers; please don't interpret this as closed development, it sometimes
+ doesn't make much sense discussing internal topics with non-developers.
+
+ All original Debian mailing lists run on a special server, using an
+ automatic mail processing software called SmartList. This server is called
+ lists.debian.org. All submission, subscription and unsubscription messages
+ have to be sent to a particular address at this host.
+
+ The language used on all lists is English, unless stated otherwise.
+ There are some user lists for other languages available.
+
+Subscription / Unsubscription
+-----------------------------
+
+ Anyone is able to subscribe/unsubscribe on their own to any mailing list,
+ presuming the subscription policy for a particular list is `open'.
+
+ The requests for subscription or unsubscription can be sent to a special
+ control address, which is slightly different from the list address.
+ Subscription or unsubscription messages should NOT be sent to the address
+ of the mailing list itself.
+
+ To subscribe or unsubscribe from a mailing list, please send mail to
+
+ <listname>-REQUEST at lists.debian.org
+
+ with the word `subscribe' or `unsubscribe' as subject.
+
+ Please remember the -REQUEST part of the address.
+
+ As part of the subscription process, the list software will send you an
+ email to which you must reply in order to finish subscribing. This is a
+ security measure to keep people from subscribing others to the lists without
+ their permission.
+
+ If you need to contact a human listmaster, direct your mail to
+ listmaster at lists.debian.org . To find out who is responsible for the
+ lists, take a look at http://www.debian.org/intro/organization
+

+Debian mailing list advertising policy
+--------------------------------------
+
+ This policy is intended to fight mailing-list "spamming".
+
+ The Debian mailing lists accept commercial advertising for payment. The fee
+ for advertisments is a donation of USD 1000 or more to "Software in the
+ Public Interest" (SPI). One donation per advertisement, please. If you
+ prefer to pay in arrears, simply post your advertisement to the list, and
+ the list operator will bill you USD 1999. The list operator will donate
+ this amount, minus the expense of collecting it, to SPI. Please note that
+ the lists are distributed automatically -- messages are generally not read
+ or checked in any way before they are distributed.
+
+ The act of posting an advertisement indicates your willingness to
+ * accept responsibility for the fee,
+ * indemnify the list operator against any legal claims from you or
+ others in connection with your advertisement, and
+ * pay any legal and business expenses incurred in collecting late payment.
+ Our liability to you is limited to a good-faith effort to deliver your
+ message.
+
+ Reduced rates and/or waiver of fee are available for Debian-related
+ advertisements. You must consult the list operator in advance of posting for
+ any reduction or fee waiver.

+Debian GNU/Linux Social Contract
+
+The Debian Project is an association of individuals who have made common
+cause to create a free operating system. This is the "social contract"
+we offer to the free software community.
+
+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+"Social Contract" with the Free Software Community
+
+ 1. Debian Will Remain 100% Free Software
+
+ We promise to keep the Debian GNU/Linux Distribution entirely free
+ software. As there are many definitions of free software, we include
+ the guidelines we use to determine if software is "free" below. We will
+ support our users who develop and run non-free software on Debian, but
+ we will never make the system depend on an item of non-free software.
+
+ 2. We Will Give Back to the Free Software Community
+
+ When we write new components of the Debian system, we will license them
+ as free software. We will make the best system we can, so that free
+ software will be widely distributed and used. We will feed back
+ bug-fixes, improvements, user requests, etc. to the "upstream" authors
+ of software included in our system.
+
+ 3. We Won't Hide Problems
+
+ We will keep our entire bug-report database open for public view at all
+ times. Reports that users file on-line will immediately become visible
+ to others.
+
+ 4. Our Priorities are Our Users and Free Software
+
+ We will be guided by the needs of our users and the free-software
+ community. We will place their interests first in our priorities. We
+ will support the needs of our users for operation in many different
+ kinds of computing environment. We won't object to commercial software
+ that is intended to run on Debian systems, and we'll allow others to
+ create value-added distributions containing both Debian and commercial
+ software, without any fee from us. To support these goals, we will
+ provide an integrated system of high-quality, 100% free software, with
+ no legal restrictions that would prevent these kinds of use.
+
+ 5. Programs That Don't Meet Our Free-Software Standards
+
+ We acknowledge that some of our users require the use of programs that
+ don't conform to the Debian Free Software Guidelines. We have created
+ "contrib" and "non-free" areas in our FTP archive for this software.
+ The software in these directories is not part of the Debian system,
+ although it has been configured for use with Debian. We encourage CD
+ manufacturers to read the licenses of software packages in these
+ directories and determine if they can distribute that software on their
+ CDs. Thus, although non-free software isn't a part of Debian, we
+ support its use, and we provide infrastructure (such as our
+ bug-tracking system and mailing lists) for non-free software packages.
+
+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The Debian Free Software Guidelines
+
+ 1. Free Redistribution
+
+ The license of a Debian component may not restrict any party from
+ selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate
+ software distribution containing programs from several different
+ sources. The license may not require a royalty or other fee for such
+ sale.
+
+ 2. Source Code
+
+ The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in
+ source code as well as compiled form.
+
+ 3. Derived Works
+
+ The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow
+ them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the
+ original software.
+
+ 4. Integrity of The Author's Source Code
+
+ The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified
+ form _only if the license allows the distribution of "patch files" with
+ the source code for the purpose of modifying the program at build time.
+ The license must explicitly permit distribution of software built from
+ modified source code. The license may require derived works to carry a
+ different name or version number from the original software. (This is a
+ compromise. The Debian group encourages all authors to not restrict any
+ files, source or binary, from being modified.)
+
+ 5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups
+
+ The license must not discriminate against any person or group of
+ persons.
+
+ 6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
+
+ The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in
+ a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the
+ program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic
+ research.
+
+ 7. Distribution of License
+
+ The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the
+ program is redistributed without the need for execution of an
+ additional license by those parties.
+
+ 8. License Must Not Be Specific to Debian
+
+ The rights attached to the program must not depend on the program's
+ being part of a Debian system. If the program is extracted from Debian
+ and used or distributed without Debian but otherwise within the terms
+ of the program's license, all parties to whom the program is
+ redistributed should have the same rights as those that are granted in
+ conjunction with the Debian system.
+
+ 9. License Must Not Contaminate Other Software
+
+ The license must not place restrictions on other software that is
+ distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the license
+ must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium
+ must be free software.
+
+ 10. Example Licenses
+
+ The "GPL", "BSD", and "Artistic" licenses are examples of licenses that
+ we consider "free".

+ HOW TO UNPACK A DEBIAN SOURCE PACKAGE
+
+There are two kinds of Debian source packages: old ones and new ones.
+
+A. Old ones look like this:
+ hello-1.3-4.tar.gz
+ hello-1.3-4.diff.gz
+ You unpack them by untarring the .tar.gz. There is NO need to apply
+ the diff.
+
+B. New ones look like this:
+ hello_1.3-11.dsc
+ hello_1.3-11.diff.gz
+ hello_1.3-11.orig.tar.gz - note the `.orig' part
+ Here you MUST use dpkg-source or apply the diff manually - see below.
+
+ If you have `dpkg-source' you should put the files in the same
+ directory and type `dpkg-source -x <whatever>.dsc'.
+
+ If you do not you can extract the Debian source as follows:
+ 1. untar P_V.orig.tar.gz.
+ 2. rename the resulting P-V.orig directory to P-V. If some other
+ directory results, rename *it* to P-V.
+ 3. mkdir P-V/debian.
+ 4. apply the diff with patch -p0.
+ 5. do `chmod +x P-V/debian/rules'
+ (where P is the package name and V the version.)
+
+C. There are some packages where the Debian source is the upstream
+ source. In this case there will be no .diff.gz and you can just use
+ the .tar.gz. If a .dsc is provided you can use `dpkg-source -x'.
