ePub is a free and open file format for electronic books. It is one of
the popular formats, supported by many hardware and software ebook
readers and editors.

FlightCrew is a tool to validate ePub files. It aims to check for errors
more comprehensively than the long-existing epubcheck tool and to
produce better error messages. FlightCrew is already useful and is
being actively developed.

Bug#469065: chntpw is now free, move it to main

2008-03-02 Thread Alexander Konovalenko
Package: chntpw
Version: 0.99.3-1

The Debian package chntpw is currently in non-free. However, the
upstream indicates that it is now licensed under the GPL and LGPL
http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/binsrc.html. Thus it should
be moved to main (possibly after synchronizing with the latest
upstream version).

Bug#428102: Peter Gutmann's paper licensing info missing

2007-06-08 Thread Alexander Konovalenko
Package: secure-delete

Version: 3.1-3



(Resubmitting due to a buggy mail client).



The secure-delete package contains a file 'usenix6-gutmann.doc' 

which is the text of a paper by Peter Gutmann entitled 'Secure 

Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory'. (Despite 

the .doc extension, it is a text file).



The debian/copyright file for that package does not include the 

copyright and licensing information for Gutmann's paper. The paper

also lacks any explicit copyright or license statement, neither in

the packaged version nor in the copy on the author's website at 

http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/secure_del.html.



Therefore, the paper is non-free. Actually, we don't even have the

permission to redistribute it.



A similar issue occured with older versions of the wipe package. The

upstream used to include a copy of the same Gutmann's work, and 

Debian maintainer removed it from the .orig.tar.gz file for the lack

of licensing information.



There are two ways to resolve this bug:



1. To obtain a permission from Peter Gutmann to redistribute his 

paper under a DFSG-compliant license.



2. To cease redistribution of the paper and remove it from the

.orig.tar.gz file.

Bug#314221: jumpnbump: networking docs outdated

2005-06-15 Thread Alexander Konovalenko
Package: jumpnbump
Version: 1.50-2
Severity: important

The man page jumpnbump(6) and the files in /usr/share/doc (README, 
README.Network) describe the command-line option -net which seems to no longer 
work (it didn't work for me).  The game's web site says that it's part of the 
old networking code that uses UDP.

The options -server and -connect which did work for me (they are part of the 
new TCP networking code according to the site) are not mentioned in the 
documentation.  They are only listed in the brief help that can be obtained 
using the -h option.

The working status of the -port option is also unclear.

It is thus likely that a user who doesn't dig things up wouldn't be able to 
play via network, which is a substantial loss of functionality for this game.  
Hence the severity `important'.

Bug#311160: gcc-4.0: can't coexist cleanly with an earlier version of gcc (libgcc1 upgrade required)

2005-05-29 Thread Alexander Konovalenko
Package: gcc-4.0
Version: 4.0.0-8
Severity: normal
Tags: experimental

gcc-4.0 from experimental depends on libgcc1 (= 1:4.0.0-8).  Thus installing 
gcc-4.0 requires upgrading libgcc1 to the 4.0 version.  This can potentially 
break earlier versions of gcc that are installed on the same machine (e.g., 
gcc-3.3 or gcc-3.4), since they also make use of libgcc1.

Is it possible to make a separate version of the libgcc1 package and library 
for each version of gcc?
