Bug#922810: RFP: loccount -- Count SLOC (source lines of code) in a source tree.
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: loccount Version : 1.2 Upstream Author : Eric S. Raymond * URL : http://www.catb.org/~esr/loccount/ * License : BSD 2-Clause Programming Lang: Go Description : Count SLOC (source lines of code) in a source tree. This tool counts source lines of code (SLOC) in a directory tree, auto-detecting the language in each source file and omitting whitespace and comments accoding to the language's syntax. It then reports SLOC broken out by language, and a total, in either eyeball-friendly text or JSON for postprocessing. loccount's target audience is software developers. It is useful for auditing code complexity growth over time, codebase size comparisons, and defect projections. It can do COCOMO 1 cost estimation. The design was inspired by David Wheeler's well-known 'sloccount' tool, (which is packaged in Debian) but is more than an order of magnitude faster and supports twice as many languages. Unlike sloccount it has no runtime dependencies. It has a comprehensive test suite. It could replace sloccount, and probably should. To my knowledge no packages rely on it. It is well-tested, stable code with a low release frequency I am the author. I am seeking a package maintainer.
Bug#839179: Please ignore keywords in comments - won't fix
Sorry, I'm going to have to document this as a known limitation. Trying to recognize comments would complicate the dependency scanner so much that it would undoubtedly introduce more bugs than it solves. -- http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S. Raymond
Bug#689187: Tracking down the gpsfake segfault
Pavel, it looks like you've uncovered a bug somewhere in the NMEA packet driver. Try running your bad log through gpsdecode, please? That will exercise the packet driver in a way that is isolated from all the Python complications. If you can reproduce with gpsdecode, try building with debug=yes and then repeating the test under gdb. That might show the offending line of source code. To dump each packet before it's analyzed, use -v. The last one shown before the core dump will be the interesting one. -- http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.

I had said I wasn't going to fix this, but the fix happened naturally as the result of some recent improvements in support for extension records. It's in the giflib repository head now.

Bug#43558: image manipulation tools remove gif transparency
Upstream maintainer says: I'm marking this one "won't fix". The correct answer to "is there a better way to uncompress a gif that doesn't lose transparency?" is "Use the GIMP, ImageMagick, the Python Imaging Library, or some other highly capable multi-format graphics tool." gifrotat and the other utilities in the giflib package are fossils from an era in which these more polished tools didn't exist. I don't think giflib either can or should try to compete with them. The direction I'm taking is to focus hard on bulletproofing the core library (which is what the likes of GIMP/PIL/ImageMagick use) and to do no more than absolutely minimal maintainence on the utilities except insofar as they're useful for regression testing. -- http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.

Bug#542384: Addressing debian bug #542384: Gpsd can't access gps device
This is to inform you that I have reviewed and merged Johannes Berg's suggested patch into Subversion head. I have also added appropriate text to the installation instructions. This will ship in 2.40 sometime before year's end. The bug report was pertinent and clear; the patch was correctly reasoned and clean.

I see it. But I don't know what code point that รก is generating,
which makes troubleshooting it a bit difficult.

These look equivalent to a set of markup fixes I already have.
They'll be in 3.9.
