Bug#1027187: O: coco-cpp -- Coco/R Compiler Generator (C++ Version)
Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: coco-...@packages.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:coco-cpp The former maintainer is no longer active and per a discussion with the former sponsor, I'm orphaning the coco-cpp package. The package description is: Coco/R is a compiler generator, which takes an attributed grammar of a source language and generates a scanner and a parser for this language. The scanner works as a deterministic finite automaton. The parser uses recursive descent. LL(1) conflicts can be resolved by a multi-symbol lookahead or by semantic checks. Thus the class of accepted grammars is LL(k) for an arbitrary k. . To start Coco call cococpp, which is a shell script in /usr/bin.

Hi Antoine, thanks for your interest in Cumin :-) We're totally planning to maintain Cumin in Debian, but there's a few breaking changes lined up we don't want to impose on Debian users (plus NEW is frozen anyway), so this will probably only happen in a few months at the start of the bullseye development cycle.

Bug#918955: O: adplug
Package: wnpp Severity: normal adplug needs a new maintainer: AdPlug is a free, cross-platform, hardware independent AdLib sound player library, mainly written in C++ and released under the LGPL.

No OPL chip is required for playback.
Bug#917406: O: elinks -- advanced text-mode WWW browser
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I'm orphaning elinks. It's been mostly dead upstream for a while (although there's a fork at https://github.com/rkd77/felinks which is seeing some activity) and it's deficits wrt fully-fledged TLS support make it less and less useful as a web browser (I'm actually using links2 myself these days). elinks still has some features not found in other text-based browsers (like support for rendering the actual colours of an HTML document), but if noone picks it up, it's probably best to remove it when the bullseye development cycle starts. The package description is: ELinks is a feature-rich program for browsing the web in text mode. It is like enhanced Lynx and Links. The most noteworthy features of ELinks are: . * Lots of protocols (local files, finger, HTTP(S), FTP, IPv4/6 etc.) * Internationalized domain names * Persistent cookies, HTTP authentication and proxy authentication * Tabbed browsing, good looking menus and dialogs, and key-binding manager * History browsing and typeahead searches * Forms history and completion, and history in commonly used input dialogs * CSS support and support for browser scripting (Perl, Lua, Guile etc.) * Tables and frames rendering, and configurable color support * Compressed and background (non-blocking) downloads, and download resuming ELinks is a feature-rich program for browsing the web in text mode.

Bug#908972: RFA: hhvm -- HipHop Virtual Machine, a JIT replacement for PHP - main runtime
Package: wnpp Severity: normal We (the current maintainers, Faidon and myself) are orphaning HHVM. Upstream has shifted development focus from a generic PHP runtime towards providing a Hack runtime (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_(programming_language). It's not a simple package to maintain and the fast-paced development cycle makes it mostly unsuitable for inclusion to a stable release (there's an LTS release every six months which is then maintained for roughly a year only), but if anyone wants to adopt it, I'll be happy to give you an introduction. If there's no adopter by end of the year (end of the currently packaged 3.24 LTS branch), I'll request removal from the archive. Cheers, Moritz

This is not a one-off upload, jasper causes a significant security maintenance overhead. Please only sponsor/upload that if you're also fully available to adress stable-security. If you're proceeding with this in unstable, then I also expect you to deal with src:jasper in jessie from this point forward. We should rather stick with one implementation, namely openjpeg2. Why don't you port opencv instead? Cheers, Moritz

We're after all busy to keep Debian secure and sick of maintainers who only focus on their pet package and neglegt the overall maintainability of the Debian archive. While I always stated that I'm open to discussion, you just ended the discussion after trying to block FFmpeg from entering Debian, which I do not find very constructive. My feeling is that this was discussed over and over and Moritz is /slighly/ tired of repeating the same thing over and over. And me replying to this mail doesn't mean I'm willing to engage in a large thread on this, the security team position has been given. My impression has been /slightly/ different: Moritz made dubious claims about FFmpeg: We've looked into many security issues in ffmpeg which didn't affect libav, either because experimental code wasn't merged yet or because code was rewritten in libav and not affected. Also ffmpeg hasn't have long term branches which is a major benefit of libav. After I have questioned these, Moritz simply left the discussion. But maybe I didn't understand what Moritz wanted to say? Yes, it's the latter: I didn't badmouth ffmpeg in any way: it was said that libav fixed less Google fuzzer samples than libav; for which I added my observation that when I looked at several CVE assignments for ffmpeg fixes the affected code didn't exist in libav releases and that explains the difference in numbers. That doesn't mean that ffmpeg is worse than libav, it simply means that the code has diverged and different code is affected.

It looks like the main thing to be addressed is finding a co-maintainer. As discussed in private with Mark (he's a coworker), I will serve as his comaintainer sponsor for this package. Moreover, I'm adding the security team to the loop, since bugzilla3 was removed per their request. We know that bugzilla has had a troubled history in Debian, so we'll be careful. One area in particular that was problematic was a strained relationship with upstream (aiui, the result of having an unmaintained vulnerable package in Debian for some time); Mark has already been in some contact with them. If you still have reservations, feel free to raise them â before we upload this (soonish) would work better :) As the person, who requested the removal of the old package: I have no objections against Bugzilla per se. The upstream security engineering is done in a very professional manner. The old package was removed because - the old package was practically unmaintained (only activity every year or so). If there's now a full maintainer team, all the better. - the old packaging was horrible (multiple tarballs mixed in a weird way and instead of patches everything was modified by a series of shell scripts run during build) and close to impossible to NMU in a sane way. If you start bugzilla4 packaging from scratch that should not be a problem. Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I'll be happy to sponsor if any wannabe DM/DD want to adopt :) The package description is: It was written for the following advantages: . * It handles header dependencies. * Build processes written in Python can be called directly, without loading another shell or interpreter. * Password entering can be put in front of all other work. (For example when a homepage is built and uploaded afterwards). * Subordinated instances can be called Python-internally without loading another shell, too. From a rapid inspection, it looks like bake has no package depending or build-depending on it. It also has a very low popcon score[0] and no upstream in the last 5 years, and almost (all?) these features can achieved with other build tools. Given these details, I'd say that bake didn't fit well in the natural evolution of make-like tools, and has been superseded by other methods. Thus, I'd propose its removal. OTOH I acknowledge the importance of the availability of build helper, so if you can list a bunch of (not dead) projects depending on it, it'll be surely enough to keep it.

We are already tracking[1] chromium security issues, this is another webkit fork and it is a real pain; but given the fact that now we have three members in the webkit security groups (Fathi is one of them), from the Security team's (CCed) point of view there is no objections.

The problem here is that chromium uses a continuous rollout and backout approach, which is fine on its own, but when it comes to reflecting this in a distro you easily become trapped to either keep up with their update frequency through the security channel :-P (e.g. going through security twice a week ;)) ... or somehow figuring how to bake stable releases from a continuous head in a way that you can release regression free security updates as those are announced. I am not saying there is no way to do that, just that its tough and we have to learn a lot before we can consider putting chromium in a stable release for debian. After a quick look to their release blog, I noted a lot of announcement for the dev tree, but not for the stable tree. Anyway could you explain your plans for chromium in Debian please? When do you intend to upload it in unstable or experimental? BTW, yesterday I uploaded gyp. FWIW, I concur with Alexander Sack. We should not yet include Chromium in Squeeze. Let's give it some time to settle down and observe if it's actually maintainable. The issues raised by both Alexander and Tom Callaway of Fedora seem very credible to me. If Chromium in Squeeze+1 can be build with the system copy of webkit, that's an added bonus. Likewise, we shouldn't include libv8 yet (or exclude it from security support).

However as all of it was imported I can't just branch it away. Secondly Ubuntu ships the Version Upstream consideres unstable. I can imagine now 2 possibilities: Either I go the way Ubuntu goes, import the newest Release from Upstream/Unstable and just continue from SVN or I start from new (possibly but not necessarily in git -- no topgit this time, I promise ;)). Any opinions, suggestions, whatever are welcome. If there are none, I'll start to do the thing that seems most sensible to me at that point in time soon. I think we should stick to the current stable SuperTux release for Squeeze. Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

You're aMule Debian maintainer, so your opinion is important. Fastweb is an important italian ISP which implements a kind of network based on a NAT technology: every customer is part of Fastweb huge WAN and Internet contents are proxied. amule-adunanza project [1] is meant to help Fastweb users to use Kademlia network allowing clients to be reached inside Fastweb's NAT, traditional aMule is not able to do so. Adunanza is a merge of aMule, it uses the same aMule code, implementing Adunanza changes on top of it, new stable versions happen when new aMule version come out. I packaged a first version of amule-adunanza [2] and opened a ITP for it [3], it is mainly based on existing aMule package in Debian, since code and packaging is almost the same, the only major change is lack of amuleweb, it hasn't been tested by Adunanza developers and they suggested to not ship it for now. Just for the records, it has been made available in Ubuntu recently [4]. The only thing that comes to mind is that we don't like code duplication in Debian much. That is, we like code to live in exactly one source package. For this to work here, amule would have to provide an amule-src package, and get amule-adunanza to build-depend on it, applying its diff on top of it. (This way, if a security problem happens in amule, a simple automatic binNMU is enough to get it fixed in amule-adunanza.) I'm not sure, however, if it's worth the effort. After all we are talking only of two packages (and foreseeably none more), and I don't think there have been any security uploads of amule in the past. Another option would be to include the adunanza diff in the amule package itself, but I'm not very keen on that either. Let's CC the security team, to see if they insist that we duplicate this codebase, or can live with it. The best solution would be to merge the necessary changes into amule proper. Since there'll be 18 months of time until Squeeze release there should be plenty of time to do that. The second best solution would be to build another binary package from the amule source package, which is applying the adunanza patch during build time. Or we could build a separate source package and exclude amule-adunanza from security support.

I mean, in a truly security sensitive environment, every security sensitive tool should be audited anyway. I'd still like to upload it to unstable, so that it gets wider testing. If someone notices security issues, the package will get an RC bug, and if there is no quick fix, it may be removed from testing. But why are you saying that it mustn't enter unstable? Did you perhaps already audit keepassx or have made any experience while using it? In reality people use unstable widely. IMHO security-sensitive code that fresh shouldn't enter unstable, but feel free to ignore me. I think your concerns apply to the dozen other password managers we already ship in etch as well.

It appears to only have a single author and to be very fresh and I don't think it has received real review so far. Until it has matured more I wouldn't upload this to unstable, as every flaw will expose all the pass- words and passphrases of a user.

Bug#352064: ITP: wormux -- A clone of the Worms game
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Moritz Muehlenhoff [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Package name: wormux Version : 0.7 Upstream Authors: Jean-Christophe DUBERGA, Laurent DEFERT SIMONNEAU, Lawrence AZZOUG Matthieu FERTRÉ, Renaud LOTTIAUX, Victor STINNER * URL : http://www.wormux.org * License : GPL Description : A clone of the Worms game Almost everyone has heard of the Worms(R) series of games, developed by Team17. Worms was created in 1990, the goal of the game consisting of a several teams of worms fighting to the death on a 2D map. Wormux is heavily influenced by all games in this genre, including Scorched Earth and Liero. . Wormux is free software clone of this game concept. Though currently under heavy development, it is already very playable, with lots of weapons (Dynamite, Baseball Bat, Teleportation, etc.). There are also lots of maps available for your battling pleasure! Wormux takes the genre to the next level, with great customisation options leading to great gameplay. There is a wide selection of teams, from the Aliens to the Chickens. Also, new battlefields can be downloaded from the Internet, making strategy an important part of each battle. . Homepage: http://wormux.org Previous versions of Wormux depended on a development version of clanlib, that's why a previous ITP never made it into a real package and was later closed due to inactivity. As of version 0.7 Wormux is ported to SDL. Wormux is packaged upstream for Debian by Jean Parpaillon, I've been in contact with him and after the usual package review further releases will be maintained together with him as part of the Debian Games Group.

Bug#326797: pentagram packages?
Gustavo Noronha Silva wrote: You filled ITP 326797 some time ago. I see you have not yet closed it, and there's no package listed in the NEW queue either. Are you still planing to package this software to Debian? After having filed the ITP I did some deeper testing and Pentagram was too much in flux to make an upload worthwhile to users. Now, that the savegame format has been fixed since November this has changed, but I'm currently busy with other things. If you want, you can take over the ITP, otherwise I'll package it in February or March. Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

In the mid-term you could turn it into a transition package. lincity-ng is more resource-intensive, though. Cheers, Moritz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#311787: ITP: lincity-ng -- City simulation game with polished GUI and graphics
Florian Ernst wrote: maintainer of the lincity package here since I took over from John, and I concur. Even more, recently I found myself less and less inclined to spend more time on lincity, so I'm wondering whether you might possibly be interested in collaborative maintenance / taking it over... The package seems to be in good shape right now and up to date in unstable and experimental, respectively. There aren't any problems that I know of. The lincity-ng developers try to merge both projects in the future, but haven't received feedback from the lincity developers yet. So, what about leaving both separate for now and converting lincity to a transitional package in 6-12 months (depending on how fast lincity-ng matures and the merge goes on)?
