RFS: rsyncrypto - rsync friendly encryption
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This is a request for a sponsor for a package. The package is lintian clean, and has gone through some testing already. Name: rsyncrypto License: GPL Short description: encrypt files in a method friendly to rsync. i.e. - local changes in plain text result in local changes in cypher text. Long description (from the package's source): Rsyncrypto allows you to encrypt a file or a directory structure, such that they can later be synchronized to another machine using rsync. This means that local changes to the plain text file result in local changes to the cipher text file. Install rsyncrypto if you need to synchronize (using rsync) changing encrypted files over the network. Rsync is capable of detecting, and transferring, only the changed area of a file, thus being network efficient. Without rsyncrypto, any change to the plain text file will make the entire cipher text file, from the point of the change to its end, change. This will eliminate the network efficiency of rsync. rsyncrypto compresses the plain text file prior to encrypting it. This requires gzip with the "rsyncable" patch applied. Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rsyncrypto The package can be obtained from http://www.lingnu.com/debian, either by browsing and downloading or by setting an apt source: deb http://www.lingnu.com/debian ./ deb-src http://www.lingnu.com/debian ./ Thanks, Shachar -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCFaz8g8ByFc29vOIRAjBVAJ94tD3TDedDZaU4ahvgX1fqEws/1gCgrWUa fKRCFA/KxbEeKoulp0mbcsg= =c7Y3 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Shachar Shemesh Lingnu Open Source Consulting ltd.

What I have is not fit for publication but the shell script for converting tex4ht-c.tex is enclosed.

Instead, he grants an exception from a restriction that older LPPL versions made, that is his license is more liberal than older LPPL version. The wording of the exception sounds as if he wanted exactly what was introduced in LPPL-1.3; therefore I suggested to remove it, or consider to use identical wording to LPPL-1.3a and make the sentence just a repetition. > This restriction also creates some trickiness for > /etc/tex4ht/tex4ht.env --- which is a conffile after all!

Depending on how many changes are in how many files, restricting the changes to debian/ might be a nice property. That way, the .diff.gz is functionally equivalent to a tar cjf --- debian/.

I do it the same way, but I usually use NMU version numbers for my testing: 1.00-0.1 for the first version I try to install, 1.00-0.2 for the second. Only when i upload it does it get its -1.

Some examples are in Developers' Reference. And there is dh_shlibdeps part of debhelper which is aimed at the same problem and in addition it will fill your control file with correct names and versions of needed packages.

RFS: drift
Hi, For some time now I have packaged drift for my own machines, and I was wondering if someone wants to sponsor me to get the drift in Debian or in Haskell-Experimental #1. Short Description: type sensitive preprocessor for Haskell Long Description: DrIFT automates instance derivation for classes that aren't supported by the standard compilers. In addition, instances can be produced in separate modules to that containing the type declaration. This allows instances to be derived for a type after the original module has been compiled. As a bonus, simple utility functions can also be produced from a type. Features: - DrIFT comes with a set of rules to produce instances for all derivable classes given in the Hasekell Prelude. There are also a number of extra useful rules to derive instances of a variety of useful classes. - DrIFT performs import chasing to find the definition of a type. - Code is generated using pretty-printing combinators. This means that the output is (fairly) well formatted, and easy on the eye. - Effort has been made to make the rule interface as easy to use as possible. This is to allow users to add rules to generate code specific to their own projects. As the rules are themselves written in Haskell, the user doesn't have to learn a new language to express rules. Upstream Homepage: http://repetae.net/john/computer/haskell/DrIFT/ I have already packaged it and it's available at http://moonshine.dnsalias.org/debian/unstable.
