Marc "Zugschlus" Haber

Zugschluß is the German word for a train's tail signal which plays an important role in railroad safety systems. With its 8bit char removed and truncated to ["IRCnet"]'s 9 character limit, I am using Zugschlus for most of my network related activities since 2000.

I am a DebianDeveloper since 2001. Besides being maintainer for a number of unimportant packages, I am co-maintainer for adduser, the script Debian uses to create user accounts, and exim4, the default MTA for Debian sarge.

Take a look at my [http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=Marc+Haber Packages Overview]

How to reach me

http://www.zugschlus.de/ is my home page, and you can reach me using one of the following ways:

• on IRC as Zugschlus on ["IRCnet"] (and sometimes on freenode and oftc as well).
• I have a fairly new ICQ account (252520118) which I do not yet use on a regular basis.

• My E-Mail address is mh+wiki.debian.net@zugschlus.de, which is currently unfortunately not correctly rendered into a Wiki link by this software - guys, "+" is a valid character in an e-mail address' local part! If this has changed, please remove this rant or ask me to remove it.

Zugschlus' Helper Scripts

I intend to publish some of my helper scripts that are too small to form a "real" Debian package here real soon now.

• package-pool-helper, a collection of easy scripts that are used to manage a local package pool
• makekernel, a collection of scripts to build kernels using Debian's kernel-package with some bells and whistles including automatic module packages build and dependency helpers that allow automatic upgrades even across kernel versions.
• chroot-helper, a collection of scripts that are helpful in working with chroots for package development, building and testing.

• [editchanges http:index.cgi?EditChanges], a script that allows editing the local changelog of the system with some safety and auditing bells and whistles.
