Bug#564018: O: purity -- Automated purity testing software
Package: wnpp Severity: normal Yikes, my last upload of purity was over 7 years ago. I think there have been approximately 2 bugs filed in that time. Unfortunately the packaging is really out of date, and it needs some serious work. I intend to resign from the project, so I am orphaning this package.

Bug#469124: RFH: spamassassin -- Perl-based spam filter using text analysis
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request assistance with maintaining the spamassassin package. I've been fairly slow to respond to bug reports and packaging issues, and I don't forsee this getting any better in the forseeable future. The Debian packaging efforts are coordinated in the collab-maint Alioth project Subversion tree. (See http://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/PackagingProject.) Discussion can be done throught the PTS. Be sure to read the documentation on svn-buildpackage and dpatch. If you're interested, please jump right in. Take a look at the bug list, and help forward bugs upstream (http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org), close bugs, or fix bugs as necessary. All Debian developers have access to the collab-maint tree to make changes directly (if you're not a DD, contact me). I'm happy to add interested people to the Uploaders: field once I start seeing some contributions. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments or concerns. Thanks in advance!

Bug#320283: ITO: re2c
On Sun, May 27, 2007 at 03:30:06PM -0400, Robert Edmonds wrote: The spamassassin just uploaded to unstable has a new feature for compiling rulesets to native code which apparently results in a large performance boost[0]. The sa-compile(1p) man page states that re2c version 0.10.x is required for this functionality, and only an orphaned 0.9.x is available in Debian. I intend to adopt re2c and upload the latest upstream version (0.12.1). Whoops, looks like I missed that dependency on re2c = 0.10.0 for spamassassin, but I think it's working fine with 0.9.x. (At least, I haven't found a problem with it.) I'd be happy to co-maintain the package if you would like a co-maintainer.

Bug#250613: RFP: libip-country-perl -- IP::Country perl modules for guessing country codes from IP address
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Package name: libip-country-perl Version : 2.17 Upstream Author : Name [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL : http://search.cpan.org/~nwetters/IP-Country-2.17/ License : Perl Artistic (I assume...) Description : IP::Country perl modules for guessing country codes from IP address Pretty minimal perl module to look up a country code based on IP address (and alternatively by IP + hostname). One of SpamAssassin 3.0.0's plugins uses it, so it would be nice to have. (I may eventually package this myself, but it looks like a really easy package (for an NM candidate, perhaps?)) Thanks, Duncan Findlay
Bug#164842: my ITP of dcc -- Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse
On Sat, Feb 01, 2003 at 06:03:20PM +0100, Bas Zoetekouw wrote: Hi guys! I don't seem to have enough free time to finish packaging dcc. If anyone is interested in taking over the ITP, please contact me. That's too bad. :-( I don't have time to work on it in the forseeable future, either. Be warned though, that this is not very easy to package: the build process is non-standard, the package installs files all over the place, it requires some patching to be able to run as an ordinary user, and from the docs it's not really clear what each binary exactly does, nor which config files it wants read or write access to. This is not a my first package package. It would probably be best if the person to take this, has (unlike me) used dcc before. That's why I didn't try to take it in the first place. Have you contacted upstream for help? Generally in this sort of a situation, upstream is glad to help; the more users, the better it works. Thanks, -- Duncan Findlay

Bug#117417: ITP: wlan-source
On Sat, Mar 16, 2002 at 02:00:01AM -0500, Francois Gurin wrote: Duncan- Are you still interested in this ITP? If not, I would be interested in picking it up. I use these drivers quite often. I'm also in the process of finishing up an alternate set prism2 drivers which provide software AP for the prism2 chipset. I'm no longer very interested in this package for 2 reasons. Firstly, it is incredibly complex. Secondly, the drivers included in the kernel support prism2, the only difference being their lack of support for WEP (which, I'm told is useless anyway). I'd be happy to send you the packages I have created (for 0.1.10), if you'd like. Feel free to take over the ITP. -- Duncan Findlay -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#117417: Interest declining....
I am no longer actively working on packaging this. It is almost complete (although the source is not update atm); however, I don't think there's much interest in this package. I would be willing to maintain it someone volunteered to sponsor it, and someone volunteered to use it :-) Although it is most likely more stable than orinoco_cs.o in the kernel, and also supports WEP, orinoco_cs seems to be catching up. The only extra supported hardware is the raw PCI cards (I don't have one). -- Duncan Findlay
Bug#130604: RFA: libmail-audit-perl -- Perl library for creating easy mail filters
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I only created libmail-audit-perl because it was needed by spamassassin. Spamassassin no longer (as of 2.0 -- which should be uploaded within a week) depends on libmail-audit-perl. I don't use (or ever intend on using) libmail-audit-perl for filtering my mail. I don't know if anybody uses it for this purpose. Hopefully someone might adopt this -- if not, it is probably safe to withdraw. (it's pretty buggy, and not NFS-safe anyway) From the description: Mail::Audit was inspired by Tom Christiansen's audit_mail and deliverlib programs. It allows a piece of email to be logged, examined, accepted into a mailbox, filtered, resent elsewhere, rejected, and so on. It's designed to allow you to easily create filter programs to stick in a .forward file or similar. . It is designed as an alternative to procmail, whose recipe syntax is quite difficult. -- Duncan Findlay
