Bug#1050174: O: flickcurl -- utilities to call the Flickr API from command line - documentation

2023-08-21 Thread Kumar Appaiah
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: flickc...@packages.debian.org, a.ku...@alumni.iitm.ac.in
Control: affects -1 + src:flickcurl

I intend to orphan the flickcurl package.

The package description is:
 Flickcurl is a C library for the Flickr API, handling creating the
 requests, signing, token management, calling the API, marshalling
 request parameters and decoding responses. The library now supports
 100% of the 2008-01-11 version of the API, including the functions
 for photo uploading, browsing, searching, adding and editing
 comments, groups, notes, photosets, categories, activity, blogs,
 favorites, places, tags and photo metadata. It also includes a
 program flickrdf to turn photo metadata, tags and machine tags into
 RDF descriptions of photos and tags.
 .
 Support for the Flickr API in these programs is through the
 libflickcurl library.
 .
 This package contains the HTML documentation for flickcurl and the
 related library.

 Oh yes! great! Indeed my skills in programming are very low. So if I
 can work on packaging and someone to work on the code itself
 (patches, discuss with upstream), it'd be excellent. We could work
 together in a complementary way. I did 1st tests with lintian, I've
 to say I don't understand some messages, especially those which have
 been appeared since I changed from 3.9.1 to 3.9.2 as TODO says. That
 for both packages.

Fantastic!

   I'll also try to chip in whatever way I can.
 
 In changelog, I added myself to Maintainer and uploaders, but I let
 your name. Does Peter want to be added to these fields? If yes, I
 could send the result of lintian and we could work together on it.

I guess Peter would, but I wouldn't mind having my name removed.

 I stay available for every idea,

Would you guys want to collaborate on this, say on an SVN/GIT/hg/…
repository or such? I can set one up for you on Debian infrastructure
if you would find it useful. Alternately, collaboration over e-mail is
also good enough, whatever you prefer.

Thanks.

It has almost been 10 months since the RFA, and since filing it,
neither have we been able to step up in maintaining the package
better, nor did we receive any offers for help. Therefore,
regretfully, we have decided to orphan festival (and, in a subsequent
e-mail, speech-tools as well).

Since festival is a fairly important package, it deserves more care
and attention in keeping it up to date. So, it would be great if an
individual or team could step up to fill the void. Needless to say, we
would be glad to help out in the team as well as we can.

Bug#546270: ITP: taggrepper -- search and match tags of media files against regular expressions

2009-09-11 Thread Kumar Appaiah
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Kumar Appaiah aku...@debian.org

* Package name: taggrepper
  Version : 0.03
  Upstream Author : Kumar Appaiah (myself)
* URL : http://gitorious.org/taggrepper/pages/Home
* License : BSD
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : search and match tags of media files against regular 
expressions

 taggrepper is a small tool written to grep tags of media
 files. Currently, it can be used to match some or any tags of MP3,
 Ogg Vorbis and FLAC files, against specified regular expressions, and
 display the name and designated fields of the matching files. It
 supports recursive directory searches as well.

Notes: I wrote this software rather quickly for my own use, but I have
tested it fairly well, and it should work for most. I have not come
across a software which does exactly this, which is why I believe
Debian could possess this. I have done my best to add a tutorial style
README and a man page for the program.

Please voice your opinions and objections on any of the above.

Thanks.

Bug#521978: ITP: armadillo -- streamlined C++ linear algebra library

2009-03-30 Thread Kumar Appaiah
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Kumar Appaiah aku...@debian.org

  Package name   : armadillo
  Version: 0.6.2
  Upstream Author: Conrad Anderson (conradsand at ieee.org)
  URL: http://arma.sf.net
  License: Dual Licensed, GPL-3+ and LGPL-3+
  Programming Lang   : C++

Description: streamlined C++ linear algebra library
 Armadillo is a streamlined C++ linear algebra library (matrix maths)
 aiming towards a good balance between speed and ease of use. Integer,
 floating point and complex numbers are supported, as well as a subset
 of trigonometric and statistics functions. Optional integration with
 LAPACK and ATLAS libraries is also provided.

Extras: Reason for request for inclusion in Debian: The reason why I
think this package should be in Debian is because it is (to my
knowledge) among the only few libraries which support delayed
evaluation to improve computational efficiency. I believe that several
users who need scientific computation may derive benefit from this.

Another point of note is that, though it does seem to be the case that
this library provides similar functionality to IT++ (libitpp), they
actually compliment each other with non-overlapping feature sets, and
Armadillo can be used along with IT++.

Maintenance: I propose to include this package with the Debian Science
Team as maintainer, since co-maintaining is much more reliable when
I (as an individual) am not as responsive as I ought to be...

Comments and suggestions welcome.

Thanks.

Try to install Lenya, and run it on your computer. Then, identify it's
dependencies, and see if the dependencies are in Debian already. If
not, you must first try to package the dependencies.

Lenya uses Maven for building, which means it builds by downloading
dependencies from the intenet. So, it will be very difficult to
package it for Debian, which is why I didn't file an ITP but an RFP.

But still, try downloading Lenya and see if you can identify the
things to be done.

  Description : Apache Cocoon application server

Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concepts
of separation of concerns and component-based web development.
  
Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of 'component
pipelines', each component on the pipeline specializing on a
particular operation. This makes it possible to use a Lego(tm)-like
approach in building web solutions, hooking together components into
pipelines without any required programming.
  
Cocoon is web glue for your web application development needs. It is
a glue that keeps concerns separate and allows parallel evolution of
all aspects of a web application, improving development pace and
reducing the chance of conflicts.

Bug#436195: ITP: logapp -- supervise execution of applications producing heavy output

2007-08-06 Thread Kumar Appaiah
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Kumar Appaiah [EMAIL PROTECTED]


* Package name: logapp
  Version : 0.7
  Upstream Author : Michael Brunner [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://logapp.sourceforge.net/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : supervise execution of applications producing heavy output

 Logapp is a wrapper utility that helps supervise the execution of
 applications that produce heavy console output (e.g. make, CVS, and
 Subversion). It does this by logging, trimming, and coloring each
 line of the output before displaying it. It can be called instead of
 the executable that should be monitored; it then starts the
 application and logs all of its console output to a file. The output
 shown in the terminal is preprocessed, e.g. to limit the length of
 printed lines and to show the stderr output in a different color. It
 is also possible to automatically highlight lines that match a
 certain regular expression. The output is therefore reduced to the
 necessary amount, and all important lines are easy to identify.

Bug#436065: ITP: flickcurl -- C library for the Flickr API

2007-08-05 Thread Kumar Appaiah
Dear Dave,

 Hello, as you can see I'm the author, and I'm also a Debain Developer.

Actually, it is only now that I can see it! :-)

 With respect to example.c - that should be in the public domain, I've
 made it so in SVN.

Now, would you like me to check it out from svn, or leave it as is for
now and modify it for your next release?

 My only other comment on the packaging is that very likely the FTP masters
 would reject it because there are two packages with only a couple of files:
 flickcurl, flickrdf and their man pages.  In a real package layout I
 expect a flickcurl-utils package that contained both would be
 more acceptible to them, although you can never tell.

I shall make a new upload.

Thanks a lot!

Done! I now have the flickcurl-utils package instead of the two small
separate ones. Since I didn't find much information about best
practices while packaging an svn version, I thought I'd leave it for
the next release, unless you do prove me wrong and point me to a
reference about this. :-)

 *Ready* :) ready to what? Release it? How does that happen? you just have to
 put it in the incoming queue?

Yes. But before that, I'd like to respond to all your earlier mails.

First of all, you weren't actually being rude. It's just that it took
time for me to take proper note of the fact that you've already spent
a lot of time preparing the package. And, it got me to see your CDBS
package, which looks very neat, and it was a learning experience for
me as well.

Now, adding you to collab-maint is Loic's task, since you've asked him.

About [EMAIL PROTECTED], it's the e-mail address which can be used to
specify various tags on Debian bugs. For example, some of the mails I
sent earlier (making me the owner, then returning ownership to you),
were all done with the simple commands at the top of the mail and
CC'ing them to control. It's pretty easy, see the e-mail related link
and Advanced... link in bugs.debian.org and you should be up to
speed in no time.

 Kumar ? would you like to take care of it? Should we do co-maintenance?
 I don't know how that could work, but sounds good :)

Since you've done bulk of the packaging work, it is only correct that
you be the maintainer of the package. But, if you say, I'd love to
help out on the package.

Co-maintaining is like this: you're the maintainer, and I'm the
co-maintainer. If this is the case, you achieve two goals. One is, you
are accepting me as a partner in maintaining, and we cooperate when
the package is updated, with e-mail exchanges and uploads. Second, if
you are too busy when the package needs attention, and I'm free, I can
attend to it and initiate the upload, and vice-versa. And if you
accept me as co-maintainer, selfishthis package will be listed as a
package in my Debian QA page/selfish! :-D

Now, to finish off things and hand it over to Loic, once you get the
account added to collab-maint, check out the stuff using the
svn+ssh:// command which Loic mentioned. Then, edit the control file
and add me as Uploader, just below Loic's name. Then, about the
changelog, I think a fresh, clean changelog is needed, though Loic can
confirm on this one. You should change UNRELEASED to unstable, and
ensure that you say Initial Release: (Closes: #398198) as one of the
changelog entries. Then, just do an svn-buildpackage with proper
options and upload the built package somewhere (mentors?) from where
Loic picks it up and uploads it to ftp-master. Clear? :-) Then, I
think we'll have to tag the version in svn or something, but that's
something I don't know much about. Loic should clear this doubt.

So, just get going, and let's see the package enter Debian! Thanks for
the effort, and all the best! :-)

With some difficulty, I managed to do this just now. Other than a few
minor points, I don't think there are many changes I could suggest.

The only two issues I see are:

1. Watch file version can be bumped to 3.

2. The description is brief. Here's something closer to what I had in
   mind:

 Vala is a new programming language that aims to bring modern
 programming language features to GNOME developers without imposing
 any additional runtime requirements and without using a different ABI
 compared to applications and libraries written in C.
 .
 valac, the Vala compiler, is a self-hosting compiler that translates
 Vala source code into C source and header files. It uses the GObject
 type system to create classes and interfaces declared in the Vala
 source code.
 .
 This package contains the headers and include files for the Vala
 runtime library (libvala0) required by the Vala compiler (valac).
 .
  Homepage: http://live.gnome.org/Vala

Note that the Homepage: needs to be indented by TWO spaces, and not
one.

I guess you can just bump the version to 0.1.2 with the latest
upstream version and push it into unstable. What do you feel? Feel
free to disagree with your points.

Thanks.

  Sure, this is possible; if you do this, you should update the copyright
  file to match any new contributors' license grants / copyright
  statements.

Well, I really don't think I have made any great contribution. Just
that I added to the description and the Homepage, watch file details.

  I don't know whether Marc-André and Mathias would want you as
  co-maintainer, but from my PoV at least: feel free to request joining
  collab-maint and commit the changes you mentionned here.

Though I really didn't do much work on the package, I would still
request you to add me to collab-maint since I want to know how the
system works. My username is kumanna-guest.

And now, if I want to update to the new upstream version, what do I
do? Currently, I am unable to do an svn-upgrade. Probably, I should
get collab-maint and do that svn+ssh you mentioned earlier, then do
svn-upgrade. Is that correct?

  and it will do the right thing, e.g. it will automatically add your
  name in the currently opened changelog entries and will prepend a name
  to the previous one if required; it will make this:
[snip]

I have done that and committed it again. Only, lintian complains about
NMU (since I am not an Uploader?), but I guess you'll make a fresh
changelog anyway.

  @Marc-André and Mathias: I'm ready when you're; basically, I don't feel
  like taking care of more packages, but I would be happy to sponsor one
  of you (or you two).

+1. Push it into unstable! :-)

All the best, and thanks to you all for the great effort!

thankyou

After speaking (mailing) Loic Minier, I have decided to take ownership
of this bug. A package is already available at:

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vala/vala_0.1.2-1.dsc

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

Dear Loic,

  TBH, I already reviewed and polished the version in collab-maint and
  I'm not too excited about reviewing a different implementation.  People
  originally interested in maintaining vala in Debian do not seem to be
  available, so if you're interested, you can pick up maintenance of the
  cleaned up version, but I can understand you wouldn't want to switch
  your base either.

Well, yes. And even though I wish to see your package, I am not able
to since I am behind a restrictive firewall, and can't seem to check
out from svn.debian.org since it doesn't have port 443 open for me to
go through the proxy. Of course, checking in is ruled out from here!

So, as you say, if you feel my (debhelper based) package[1] will result
in a lot of duplication of effort, I shall drop it. But I am not in a
position to use collab-maint because of my environment here.

Thanks a lot!

Kumar

Dear Friends,

I have (before reading this bug thread) made an independent attempt to
package vala, and have made a lintian clean package. It is at:

dget http://kumar.travisbsd.org/debpackages/vala_0.1.2-1.dsc

Please send me your comments on the packaging.

Thanks!

   What is the point of packaging new editors that do not support current
 Debian default's encoding (namely utf-8) ?

Well, thought there are stll users (like me) on Debian who thrive on
ASCII and ISO-8859-1. Hence the case.

Should you have very serious objections to it, I will consider
withdrawing the package (it's in the new queue already).
