I had noticed that, but released the package anyhow as its not a big
deal.  Nice to know its fixed anyway.

I had to upload a RC4-2 package to fix some cut&paste problem with the
Debian init.d script. I had an old initialise line in there. No impact
on the upstream source.

I've realized my last patch to not link all generated binaries with
all libraries missed something, causing libssl to be added to everthing
still. (And twice everything it is needed, according to the Debina
buildd logs, so save to remove).

Subject: Google Summer of Code 2008, Call for Mentors

== The X.Org Foundation Is Looking for Project Mentors During Google
Summer of Code 2008 ==

As you may have heard, the X.Org foundation in 2008 again takes
part in Google's Summer of Code program to allow students to work
on X11.

GSoC students need experienced X11 developers as mentors, who can
work with them to make sure their projects are of the right size
and scope and the students finish their project with success.  And
they sometimes need a little poking to deliver their results and
reports timely and properly.

We are looking for personalities that not only know how to fire up
and editor, compiler and debugger, but that also have strong personal
skills and can supervise a student during a several month long
period. It's a dream job you won't find in any company: Be a manager
and still able to work on low-level technical stuff.

Besides mentoring the student and helping him or her to be on track,
you will regularely report the project status to me, so I can
supervise all projects and make sure they all are successful.

If you think you are the right person for mentoring a project, then
please get in contact with me and tell me a bit about yourself,
your education, and if you have, any teaching or project management
experience.  And most important: Why you think you are the right
person to the job.

The X.Org GSoC 2008 can be a successful experience for all participants
if we have good mentors, motivated students and an overall good
spirit.

Marc Balmer
Administrator for X.Org Google Summer of Code Projects

I'll be uploading the Debian package this morning.
I didn't put the MIPS specific stuff in, I assumed you put those
changes in RC4.

I've applied the following diff to cvs, so that the manpage better
reflects what is actually done.

I seem to have misread the code: It actually seems to quote everything
well, only problem is that the documented way to get something not
quoted does not work. I think this is minor enough to wait.

hi all,

can we save this problem for the next release ?

we had already discussed that we would release the lasted rc as final and i think we should
continue with that now.

I've looked at http://bugs.debian.org/276711 and the sources and it
looks like we have an issue or documentation contradicting
implementation and the implementation causing unsafe defaults:

lpd.n claims $X is quoted and $'X is unquoted.
The documentation about filters in LPRng-Reference says $X is unquoted,
$'X is quoted. The examples speak about using a $' form, but do not use
it. the part about filter_options again says that $X is quoted, while
$'X is unquoted.

On the other hand, the code makes $X (which is in the defaults)
unquoted.
