[Hamara-devel] debian-kernel-handbook and delayed 3934 seconds by postgrey-1.34 at buxtehude

[shirish]

Hi all,
I don't know how many of us know of debian-kernel-handbook. This is the 
place to go to find how debian makes it kernel and what all goes into it.

  There is an old version which is in debian archive :-

[$] aptitude show debian-kernel-handbook
Package: debian-kernel-handbook
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Multi-Arch: foreign
Version: 1.0.15
Priority: extra
Section: doc
Maintainer: Debian kernel team <debian-kernel at lists.debian.org>
Architecture: all
Uncompressed Size: 178 k
Recommends: www-browser
Description: reference to Debian Linux kernel packages and development
  A reference manual for:

  * Working on the linux package
  * Building custom kernels and modules
  * Working with initramfs images
  * Kernel team policies

And a slightly newer version at 
https://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ - notice the difference in 
the kernel version strings.

Anyways,  as part to show contribution from hamaralinux reported the bug 
https://bugs.debian.org/782784 .

What was interesting is that bug took over an hour to get registered on 
the Debian BTS.  I was intrigued as on the @gmail.com address such mails 
take not more than 2 minutes to show up on the Debian BTS.  I was in 
half a mind to put a bug in bugzilla as usually either the mail will 
reach or bounce-back saying something or the other is broken (in sense 
similar to the ping program I had shared few days ago ) .  So after an 
hour when it did show up on the BTS I did a bit of research and this is 
what I was able to find.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;bug=782784

If you are trying to figure out how that page came, it's link from full 
text on the right hand side where it says Message 5.

If you look and study the log you will see the second last line which 
says :-

X-Greylist: delayed 3934 seconds by postgrey-1.34 at buxtehude; Fri, 17 
Apr 2015 20:06:53 UTC

And of-course if we were to divide 3934 seconds by 60 seconds we would 
get the grand total of 65.56^ minutes which is the difference of the 
time I put up the bug and it was white-listed. I will certainly do 
couple of more bug-reports to see if the time count goes down or not.

Of course, as can be seen in the log, there are other interesting bits 
which do catch the eye as well.

Anyways, enough for now. Gotta sleep and then try to catch some virtual 
bugs early morning :)
