Bug#658783: MATE Desktop Environment in Debian
Le samedi 20 octobre 2012 à 19:05 +0200, John Paul Adrian Glaubitz a écrit : We have recently started to deploy Debian Wheezy on some of the machines to be able to do some testing in the real world. Unfortunately, the feedback we received regarding GNOME3 so far is mostly negative. Not because users dislike the interface design, but rather because they simply don't find their way around in the new user interface. It's hard to justify, for example, why a user can't have icons on their desktops anymore, many people rely on this feature. Yes, I know one can re-enable with the tweak-tool, but I cannot seriously run into 250+ offices and show users how to do that. Then change the settings yourself. You’re the sysadmin, aren’t you? Debian includes all the tools you need to change settings system-wide. The fact that even Fedora (with RedHat being the main driving force and employer behind GNOME) is working to adopt MATE [2] shows that there is definetely a need for it and many people are actually using it. Most issues people have with GNOME 3 “classic” usually boil down to “the panel is black instead of grey”. Anyway, you’re welcome to package MATE in Debian. Just fix all the code duplication stupidity before. So far no one has volunteered to do so. Cheers, -- .''`.

Bug#660354: O: frozen-bubble -- Pop out the bubbles!
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I am hereby orphaning the frozen-bubble package. The new SDL Perl bindings require an update of frozen-bubble to version 2.2.1~beta1. However in this version, in order to support Windows, upstream decided to switch to a NIH build system that needs Perl modules to run perl scripts to generate perl makefiles that run perl scripts that finally build a perl program. Insert here a picture of DiCaprio frowning. PERLCEPTION Maintaining this game has been a lot of fun but it obviously needs to be passed on to someone who knows how to maintain NIH perl build systems. I certainly do not intend to maintain new CPAN modules just for a build system. The package description is: Frozen-Bubble is a clone of the popular Puzzle Bobble game, in which you attempt to shoot bubbles into groups of the same color to cause them to pop. It features 100 single-player levels, a two-player mode, music and striking graphics. . This game is widely rumored to be responsible for delaying the Woody release.

I feel that for long-term maintainership and best practises, these issues are important to get right before inclusion into main. I agree these are important issues and I appreciate your work on these topics, but I don’t think they should prevent inclusion in main. I’m pretty sure the ftp-masters’ position on such topics is that as long the sources are here, just installing the .otf files without rebuilding them is fine. There are even font packages that contain only the binary font files (e.g. gsfonts) as long as the license is appropriate. Yes, and the ftp-masters are making the right decision here: removing quality open fonts for which we don't have a full reproducable buildpath just yet but which satisfy the 4 freedoms would be a self-defeating measure and would seriously hinder lots of practical uses of Debian for many users. Better work on upstream advocacy to release as much source as possible (which can include a bunch of different files including the .ttf files themselves) and improve the open font design toolkit.

However, if this parsing is vital for the operation of the application and makes it useless without that program, what is the difference with dynamic linking to a library? To a programmer, there might be one, but to a court, there wouldn’t be any. By this reasoning, if I write a program which converts another word processor's output to Microsoft Word format, then that program is a derivative of Microsoft Word, at least until Open Office gets a filter good enough to read it. This is a completely unrelated case. Functionally, such a program can work without Microsoft Word. Moreover, by this reasoning, if I write a program that runs only on Windows, or which interfaces with some proprietary Windows protocol, Microsoft can legitimately claim that I am violating their copyright by creating an unauthorized derivative of their work. Microsoft gives you explicit permission to link to the system libraries provided with Windows. This definition of derivative work is something which the FSF claims, but which many people outside the FSF are skeptical of precisely because of absurd consequences like these.

If the shared library is substituted by a clone reimplementing the same API/ABI, will the program linking to it continue working? If the answer is yes, since it is absurd that the parsing program is a derivative work of all possible clones at the same time, then clearly it is not a derivative work. If the answer is no, then clearly the parsing program depends on the parsed one 'in an intimate way'. Can a clone or sucessor of nmap be used with gnetworktester?

So in short: * gnome-core = GNOME installation designed to fit on one CD * gnome-desktop-environment ≈ GNOME as defined by upstream * gnome = full GNOME installation for the default installation If you are skilled enough to consider that the existing metapackages don’t suit you and you need something lighter, you are also skilled enough to install the needed packages by hand. kthxbye, -- .''`.

Apart from thes,e ease-of-use features like summoning using a global hot key, passive notifications of a given word, suggestions, regex search. etc. are present as well. These features are unique to Artha. Most of these features are also present in stardict. And anyway, I can see emerging a strong need for standardisation on dictionary formats; even if it is not possible to have a single frontend, they should all be able to use all the dictionaries we have in the archive. I don’t think this can be done in Debian only, that’s why I’m suggesting to make upstreams work together on a common format, so that it can be eventually turned into e.g. a freedesktop standard.

What if I e.g. want to run several pigz processes at the same time because I have a lot of cores and a lot of files (I guess pigz doesn't scale so much)? Ideally, we should just let Linux manage everything, i.e. put related threads together on the same dies, balancing the load according to the observed behavior, which can vary a lot depending on the latency of reading files, the time to compress, etc. There is probably a missing piece here. If you start several pigz processes, the kernel only sees processes starting a lot of threads, and processes only see a given number of cores. There is no interface that allows a process to specify how to start more threads, giving the kernel the opportunity to start them as it sees fit given the available number of cores. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.

Can't bug-buddy be extended to implement similar functionality? I examined both possibilities and it turned out too complicated without re-using the reportbug modules. Hence the choice of python.

It does not rely on a working MTA or a specific MUA. Would it make sense to integrate a kernel level SEGV handler instead of going via libgnomeui? I was under the impression that this is what the Ubuntu folks achieved [1]; this seems more generic as it would cover other DE (Xfce, KDE) but also other application crashes such as web server, databases etc. Debreaper is not the signal handler itself. It is simple enough to be called by any signal handler, be it in the kernel, in the glibc or in the UI libraries. It should be possible to use it in any environment, as the UI is interchangeable (currently there's a text UI and a GTK+ one). The only thing that's bound to GNOME is the way to detect the MUA, but it could be changed as well. If it's bound to GNOME, it's of course fine in pkg-gnome but you might want to name it gdebreaper or gnome-deb-RIP to reflect this. I'd say it depends on whether other people are interested in using it. We could write a small signal handler library that would be set in LD_PRELOAD for the supported desktop environments (in /etc/Xsession.d for example), and debreaper would detect the running environment for choosing the MUA. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.

All the rest can be fixed with a reasonable (although far from negligible) amount of work, but if it is to obtain a single-character set application, I'm not sure it is that useful. Add to that the fact that large installations want more and more to have some extras besides the mail client, and you'll end up with few to zero installations. -- Josselin Mouette/\./\ Do you have any more insane proposals for me? signature.asc Description: Ceci est une partie de message numériquement signée

Bug#387612: RFP: python-debtags -- Access Debtags information from python
Le vendredi 15 septembre 2006 à 15:06 +0200, Enrico Zini a écrit : I don't care how complex the python policy is: I just don't want to learn it just for this package. You don't have to learn each and every sub-policy to build a package. Helper tools are here for that purpose. I prefer to spend my time doing upstream development. Doing so is of course your choice, but I don't find it much productive. You'll get things in Debian faster if you make the package yourself. -- .''`.

I'm looking for someone to package svn://svn.debian.org/debtags/python for me: it's simple enough python stuff (one Debian.py and a few runnable scripts, but they use set() and so they require at least python 2.4), but I don't want to learn the python policy just for it.

Bug#374129: the state of yank
The yank package: * is orphaned (bug#374129), * has been maintained by NMUs for 3 years, * has several potential replacements in the archive, * is buggy according to its own description, * is probably the last one to use GConf 1.

Bug#379956: O: gtk-qt-engine -- theme engine using Qt for GTK+ 2.x
Le vendredi 28 juillet 2006 à 14:56 +0200, Adeodato Simó a écrit : * Bastian Venthur [Fri, 28 Jul 2006 12:43:16 +0200]: BTW: Is there any reason why the source package is gtk-qt-engine while the actual package name is gtk2-engines-gtk-qt? I'd really like to rename the package to upstreams gtk-qt-engine. AFAIK, some sort of policy from the GNOME packaging group. I'm CC'ing them to get their confirmation. Other packages, e.g. geramik, also follow this policy. It didn't came from the GNOME team, but originally GTK1 themes were named gtk-engines-foo, and GTK2 themes gtk2-engines-foo. Currently most of them have been merged in the gtk2-engines package. I'd say it is better to conform to this naming scheme unless there is a good reason not to do so. It is just more clear for users. -- .''`. Josselin Mouette/\./\ : :' : [EMAIL PROTECTED] `. `'[EMAIL PROTECTED] `- Debian GNU/Linux -- The power of freedom
