Packages up for grabs
by Jarod Wilson
I've got a few packages I'm the sole maintainer on, but I simply don't use the package anymore or have much interest in continuing to maintain. Anyone interested in taking the following over?
ganglia
libconfuse
rrdtool
In all fairness, Matthias Saou used to own rrdtool before I took it over, so I'd like to offer that back to him first...
Speaking of thias, he's a co-maintainer on a few of the remaining packages that came from the beryl bits, which I'd like to also step away from. Thias, if you want primary maintainership, they're yours. Others interested, speak up:
aquamarine
emerald
emerald-themes
And finally, one more package that also has a co-maintainer (jef spaleta) who I'd like to have first crack at becoming primary maintainer, but that I should really have nothing to do with anymore:
numpy
I took on numpy with the intention of trying to finally kill python-numeric, but I just don't have the time -- too busy with kernel-related fun. :) Still a worthwhile project someone with the time really ought take on though -- perhaps with the help of whomever is still maintaining the long-since obsoleted python-numeric package.

*gasp*
I tried --ramdisk-base and it does indeed make it boot. I don't quite
understand it because Ubuntu's initrd is definitely larger than 8MB as well.
I'm guessing 16MB is a safe number, because frees the memory after initrd?
Anyway, thanks very much.

Shifting mount points for drives
by Paul F. Johnson
Hi,
I'm not sure if this needs to be filed as a bug and if it is, what
component to shove it under!
My machine has 4 HDDs, 3 DVDs (one is a CDRW, one is a DVD, one is a
DVDRW), an internal zip and a floppy with card reader.
/dev/sda and /dev/sdb are both on the motherboard IDE
/dev/sdc and /dev/sdd (DVDRW and DVD/CDRW) are on the motherboard
secondary IDE
I have an IDE card in my machine as well which has the zip & DVD on one
channel and the other two hard drives on the other channel. The Zip is
set as master, DVD as secondary on their channel.
For some reason, the two HDDs keep getting shifted in their drive
numbers. If I have in /etc/fstab
/dev/sde1 /mp3
/dev/sdf1 /web
then things should be happy. But they're not. When I reboot, there is a
good change that they will be /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1 or /dev/sdf1
and /dev/sdg1 but it's rare that they're /dev/sde1 and /dev/sdf1.
If I comment them out of fstab, then when I come to mount them, they are
*always* /dev/sde1 and /dev/sdf1
Any clues as to why this would be?
