 Hi Package Maintainers (DD's and non-DD's),
 
 Now that Etch is released to stable, many package maintainers have
 already updated their packages to the newest upstream releases.  That is
 of course very good.
 
 However, some packages have no working debian/watch file, and then it is
 not always easily seen whether there are newer upstream releases
 available for these packages.  I suggest to add/update debian/watch with
 your next updates of your packages.  Non-DD's are welcome to ask help
 for that on [EMAIL PROTECTED] .  Hint: test the
 debian/watch file with uscan --report-status.

Hi,

I would be happy to update filezilla package, however it require
wxwidgets 2.8 which is available in ubuntu but not in debian.

I have no time and not enough knowledge to maintain such a package so
I'm just waiting on someone to care about wx2.8.

I think we'll have many problems when upstreams will start using wx2.8
new features...

 Wouldn't putting the experimental version in your table be _more_

 It is of course very good that during Etch freeze some packagers have

 It is true that additionally comparing with Experimental makes the

 more visible.  It also reveals some packages that outdated in both
 Unstable and Experimental.

Re: Uploading wxWidgets 2.8 to experimental ?

Hi,

I already built wx2.8 from ubuntu on my debian lenny for testing 
purpose. It build and works fine, I have been able to get latest 
filezilla running without any issues.
I would be really happy if you could upload it to unstable, then I'll 
help fixing bugs if I can and can help you to keep it synced with the 
ubuntu package.

Dear Ron,

I am member of a team which is Maintainer: of a package using wxWidgets.
I would be happy to test it against an experimental version of wx2.8, in
order to report problems to Upstream.

But I am not comfortable enough with library packaging to produce
private packages.

If the people who depend on wxWidgets would agree to use 2.8 packages
just for tests and to not upload uncoordinated upgrades to unstable,
would you agree to publish 2.8 packages? Alternatively, would it be OK
if a DD would upload Ubuntu's packages to experimental?

Have a nice day,

Re: Considerations for 'xmms' removal from Debian

2007-07-02 Thread Adam Cécile (Le_Vert)

I (audacious maintainer) have some stuff to add about xmms plugins.
Most of them have been merged into audacious and I worked with 
xmms-crossfade maintainer to build an audacious flavour of this plugins.


We should have a look at all xmms-plugins but I'm pretty sure more then 
90% are already part of audacious distribution.


Regards, Adam.

José Miguel Parrella Romero a écrit :

The maintainers of the xmms package in Debian are proposing the removal
of the aforementioned package. Please read on.

1. Rationale

* Upstream has deprecated development and support for the current
version of XMMS.
* Several parts of the application are broken and no longer of Debian
quality.

2. Current status

* The BTS reports 231 bugs, most tagged 'important' or 'normal', and a
couple of debugging was attempted with little success.
* XMMS is broken in several aspects, one of the most important being
it's dependence on GTK+ 1.2 and no UTF-8 support, which is standard in
Debian Etch.
* Other distributions have already discussed XMMS removal. Gentoo
hardmasked the package based on the same rationale [1]
* 'bmpx' and 'audacious' are in Debian, ranks 8048 and 3649 in popcon.
Both are very good and development-active substitutes to xmms.
* There's also in Debian the upstream-supported xmms2 package, 2598 in
popcon rank.

2.1 Reverse depends

The following packages depend on XMMS:

  xmms-liveice
  xmms-festalon
  xmp-xmms
  xmmsctrl
  xmms-xf86audio
  xmms-wmdiscotux
  xmms-wma

  gdesklets-data
  gdancer
  gaim-xmms-remote
 |fvwm-crystal
  extace
  education-standalone
  education-music
  education-desktop-other

Most of this packages are xmms plugins. Maintainers will need to port
them to xmms2 or bmpx, or they should be removed.

Other packages just depend on xmms as a mere multimedia player, and
therefore we recommend the maintainers to adjust their dependencies to
bmpx, xmms2 or audacious.

2.2 Popcon

xmms is now 1069 in the overall popcon rank, with 11029 installations,
not counting the plugin users.

the XMMS maintainers

Um.  Which version of audacious was this?  libaudacious5 isn't in

(Also filing this as a bug report.)



  

windlord:~ audacious
Failed to load plugin (/usr/lib/audacious/Input/libaac.so): 
/usr/lib/audacious/Input/libaac.so: undefined symbol: 
vfs_buffered_file_new_from_uri



Files in audacious-plugins are dlopened by audacious, so they don't
depend on any libaudaciousX package. What has happened here is that
there are no package relationships in place to prevent upstream version
skew from happening between the application and the plugins. And
audacious-plugins 1.3.X made it into testing while audacious 1.3.X did
not.

Adam, to fix this, the probably saniest way is to make the plugin
packages depend on audacious with a relationship like this:

  Package: audacious-plugins-whatever
  Version: 1.X.Y
  Depends: audacious ( 1.X), audacious ( 1.(X+1)~)

This introduces a circular dependency between audacious and
audacious-plugins, but I think that's okay and preferable to making the
plugins Conflict: audacious ( 1.X), audacious ( 1.(X+1)~). I'm sure
others in -devel will agree.

NB: this can't be fixed by just updating the audacious-plugins
dependency in the audacious package, because there are several plugin
packages and audacious does not depend on them all.

HTH,

Wasn't talking to new or mistake.

I really hate circular depency and I'm not sure it's the better way.



Well, do as Joss said and tighten the audacious-plugins dependency in
audacious, *and* introduce tight dependencies against audacious in all
the rest of plugin packages. No circular dependencies.

  

In fact, audacious is broken in testing for ages and forcing a build
of mcs on mipsel would fix all that crap...



Well, sorry but no. It is not broken in testing because of mcs not being
built, it is broken in testing because it's not packaged correctly.
  

Maybe, I didn't know how to deal with this circular dependency.
Here is what I understand, let me know if there's something wrong:
audacious 1.3.X should depends on audacious-plugins (= 1.3) and 
audacious-plugins ( 1.4).
That make senses now upstream and me are sure X.Y ABI will always be 
incompatible with X.Z ABI.


If it's fine I'll prepare a new upload for it, however I still can't do 
anything until mcs is built on mipsel ;)

 But at a minimum, yes, the audacious-plugins package should be depending on

 There is no NEEDED entry in the plugins against libaudaciousX. Do you

Responding from the web because I'm lazy.

Xmms-shn was last updated March 28th 2007.  I personally have about 40
hours of zappa boots in shn format that would only be playable from
mplayer and perhaps vlc if xmms were removed. This is a common media
format.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shorten
  

This has been proposed to Google SoC by Audacious.
xmms-shn can't be ported because their some licensing issues.

Moreover audacious provies a mplayer backend in audacious-plugins-ugly 
package.

Looking at Freshmeat, 16 plugins or otherwise xmms based projects have
been updated in the past year including two new ones that
were introduced. It may be dead, but development on top of it is
definitely ongoing.  


Bmpx is not really a substitute for the simple fact that it's gstreamer
based. A substitute needs to be a simple library based player
that is scriptable and provides maximum exposure to the features of the
underlying libraries.  It needs to be suitable for use in car
computers, portable media devices, pro-audio applications, etc.

It's my impression that audicious is not scriptable so it can't be
as easily integrated into existing applications or controlled from emacs
or irssi.  
  

man audtool
My money is on Xmms2, but it's got a ways to go before it's usable.

 Mplayer support in shorten is lacking.  Specifically you can't seek
 within a file.  You have to start playback and wait for it to get to
 the part you want.  If you miss it you have to start back over at the
 beginning.  Since it's commonly used for live audio recordings that
 sometimes are not always broken up into tracks.
 
 I assume you mean that it can be ported but it can't be included in
 debian, the same as is the case with Monkey's Audio, OptimFROG and the
 like?  I've not tried it yet, but it looks like porting the plugins is
 going to be easier than actually making a deb. (I've still not got that
 down right).  

Yes, I mean you can port it, but it won't ever be available through
debian (at least until we use the crap non-free bits, some people are
working on a free implemenation)

 I'm slightly concerned that packaging all the plugins in large
 bundles with many dependencies makes audacious more cumbersome
 to use on handhelds and car computers.  What about packaging the plugins
 individually and using metapackages to pull them in?

I would do this first, but many devs told me I should't do that, because
it'll lead ton much load for britney (sid-etch transition script).
If it's one condition for xmms replacement, just ask it and I'll do.

 
 It's my impression that audicious is not scriptable so it can't be

 If by OSS you mean that crappy OSS/Free, then no.
 
 I use the recently open sourced OSS4, created by the guys who ironically
 sponsored XMMS development. The reason being is that ALSA has never really
 worked well for my hardware (in any application, including XMMS), and OSS4
 supports my current hardware while ALSA's support is still unimplemented
 (Soundblaster XFi).
 
 If you're having issues with ALSA, I strongly recommend giving OSS4 a go, it
 works very well (although some people with political interests over technical
 ones are probably likely to disagree).
 
 You can find out more information at http://developer.opensound.com if you're

 I'll try to take a closer look at the problem if I can find some time

In the case where a 0-day NMU is valid, you can upload immediately

wxwidgets 2.8 needs help !

2007-10-04 Thread Adam Cécile (Le_Vert)
Hello developers,

I'm writing you this mail to be sure everybody is aware of this issue
and with the hope that someone will be interrested in fixing it ;)

wxWidgets has been released a long time ago and we're still missing it.

wx2.8 has been packaged for Ubuntu [1] so most of the initial packaging
effort could be stolen there. Moreover, I already successfully rebuild
wx2.8 from Ubuntu on Lenny without any change.

Currently, I don't have time (and skill) to maintain wx2.8, that's why
I'm asking for your help.

Current FileZilla package in debian is quite broken (beta version) but
it's too much work for me to backport patches from upstream, as they
have now switched to wx2.8.
aMule suffers of the same problem and there's is probably tones of
others package's upstreams that switched to wx2.8 or plan to do.

Despite many open bugs reports [2], current wx2.6 maintainer doesn't
really seem to be interrested in packaging wx2.8.

Anyone else ?


Best regards, Adam.

Bug#447410: ITP: libmowgli -- Development framework for C

2007-10-20 Thread Adam Cécile (Le_Vert)
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org

Package name: libmowgli
Version: 0.5.0
Upstream Author: Atheme Project
URL: http://www.atheme-project.org/projects/mowgli.shtml
License: ISC
Description:
Mowgli is a development framework for C (like GLib), which provides high
performance and highly flexible algorithms.
.
It can be used as a suppliment to GLib (to add additional functions
(dictionaries, hashes), or replace some of the slow GLib list manipulation
functions), or stand alone.
.
It also provides a powerful hook system and convenient logging for your
code, as well as a high performance block allocator.

 If I remember right gtk-1 is supposed to be removed from lenny, so
 xmms will be gone, too.
   
 Yes, but this source package also builds audacious-crossfade which
 probably should stay?
 

 Putting the audacious maintainer in the loop (unsure whether he reads
 d-d) so that he eventually picks up this package and maintains it along
 with audacious.

 Cheers,
   
Hi,

I'm subscribed to d-d but now always reading it, so it's a good thing to
CC me.
I don't have much time for audacious-crossfade right now, and already
maintaining a large bunch of packages.

Anyone else interrested in?

If nobody cares, please contact me again, I'll do.

Best regards, Adam.



Bug#473235: ITP: divfix++ -- repair broken AVI file streams by rebuilding index part of file

2008-03-29 Thread Adam Cécile (Le_Vert)
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org

   Package name: divfix++
Version: 0.29
Upstream Author: Erdem U. Altinyurt death_knight at gamebox.net
URL: http://divfixpp.sourceforge.net/
License: GPL v2 or later
Description:

This program designed to repair broken AVI file streams by rebuilding
index part of file. This is very useful when trying to preview movies
which has no index part, like some files are currently downloading from
ed2k or bittorent networks.

DivFix++ has supports CLI tools, this means you can fix a file to
temporary location, preview with a player, than delete temporary movie
file after preview automatically via script by using argument parameters...

DivFix++ is complete rewrite of DivFix program due it's bugs and low
performance. It has been written using C++/wxWidgets and thus, ported on
various Operating Systems.
