Bug#919587: bringing back Imapsync

2019-02-01 Thread Gergely Risko
Hey,

I'm not working on imapsync right now.

To be honest, I'm using mbsync myself right now and completely
satisfied with it.

Feel free to package imapsync and push it to Debian, I'm as an old
maintainer not interested in this right now, because I don't have the
free time.  Sorry about this and wish you the best of luck!

Cheers,
Gergely

Bug#891036: libusbip: error: port number exceeds 128

2018-05-22 Thread Gergely Risko
Dear Ben,

The issue is definitely not fixed by this in 4.14.17-1:

  * usbip: Reduce USBIP_VHCI_HC_PORTS to 15, the maximum allowed for SuperSpeed
hubs (Closes: #878866)

On the other hand simply increasing the limit in the userspace library
from 128 to 256 fixes the issue on my computer running
linux-image-4.16.0-1-amd64 (4.16.5-1).  Please note that the patch is
only a userspace change in the usbip package, not a kernel change.

I tested the change without even rebuilding the package, just building
the userspace usbip executable with autogen+configure+make in the
tools/usb/usbip subdirectory and I managed to pass through a usb
device.  No oopses, no problems, device is working as expected.

Cheers,
Gergely

Bug#857130: os-prober: add support for veracrypt system encryption on UEFI

2017-03-08 Thread Gergely Risko
Package: os-prober
Version: 1.74
Tags: patch

Veracrypt system encryption for Windows 7/8/10 on UEFI is working by
creating an additional efi program on the EFI partition.  If this efi
program is added to the GRUB menu, then I can successfully boot my
system encrypted Windows system from GRUB.

Since in Debian, GRUB uses os-prober to get the additional menu items to
present for additional OSes, adding the attached file to
/usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/efi/15veracrypt results in a correctly
working Veracrypt GRUB menu item.  Tested on Windows 10 Home, have no
idea about other editions or versions, but most probably this will work
for them.

Note, that this is only for UEFI, I have no idea how to add Veracrypt to
the GRUB menu on MBR systems.

Note, that most of this is a copy-paste and customization of the
20microsoft script.

Bug#762910: lines longer than 39 characters are mishandled in /proc/acpi/wakeup

2014-09-26 Thread Gergely Risko
Package: acpitool
Version: 0.5.1-3
Tags: patch

While parsing /proc/acpi/wakeup, src/acpitool.cpp assumes that lines are
maximum 39 char long (40 including the terminating NUL character at the
end of C strings).

Since I have a line in /proc/acpi/wakeup that is exactly 40 char long,
the tool doesn't work (it hangs up when it hits that line, consuming
100% CPU forever).

The attached patch changes this behavior to assume maximum 79 char long
lines by increasing the buffer size to 80.

Bug#569786: vlogger: [PATCH] Add option to write out access.logs without chopping the vhost off the beginning

2014-01-16 Thread Gergely Risko
tags 569786 wontfix
stop

Dear v.nix.is,

I marked this request as wontfix, because implementing this seems to be
a duplicate effort, since you could just put 

LogFormat "%v %v %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %O \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" 
combined

into your apache config.  That way you can put the second %v wherever
you want on the line and it will be written out.

So your use-case can be achieved with a bit of a configuration change,
therefore I don't see it appropriate to add yet another option.

The only issue I forsee, is that vlogger unfortunately uses other
data column numbers directly like this:

my $reqsize = $this_line[10];

or:

$reqsize = $this_line[1] + $this_line[2];

If someone would submit a patch that adds parameters to specify the
reqsize column and/or mod_logio columns, that would be OK with me.

But I don't know how many people are using the mysql statistics feature
anyways...  Seems to be a big hack, to be honest.

If you don't agree with this wontfix, please reply to the bugreport and
point out your reasons.

Thank you for taking the time to report this,
Gergely

Bug#407047: -n option is documented, handled but not parsed

2014-01-16 Thread Gergely Risko
Hi,

I've uploaded the fix to this issue.

I also added the following collab-maint repository:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/vlogger.git;a=summary

If you use vlogger this heavily, I urge you to create a vlogger fork on
github or somewhere and make your fixes there.  That way I won't be in
the hotspot for reviewing and adding patches.  Once you reached a
version that you think should be released into debian, tag it as 1.4 (or
something) and open a bug report on vlogger asking me to upgrade to that
version.

It's a lot easier to collaborate in git and apply patches quickly in a
github repo than sending upstream patches to the BTS.

This is also the only way to have these fixes move to Fedora, BSDs, etc.

Sorry, but I currently can't volunteer to maintain vlogger and to
continuously review major new patches and features.  Either outside or
inside Debian.

Thanks,
Gergely

I'm doing well, thanks for asking.  Apart from reading these kind of
hatemail comments in Debian bug reports... :)

In this package there are two other bugs since 1.3 which never went upstream:
  - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=302176,
  - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=645623.

There are no new upstream releases since 1.3 to fix these issues, so
even if we continue patching this in Debian, folks will have to
duplicate the work in all other systems, like Fedora or BSDs.

If you really want to help instead of just sending around opinionated
rude emails to folks who work on stuff in their free time, you should
take ownership of upstream maintenance of the code.  Maybe you should
email the guy who already started this 4 years ago:
https://github.com/halfdan/vlogger (google search for "vlogger github").

Or you can just fork 1.3 and add these three bugfixes, call it 1.3.1 (or
1.4) and then ask the distributions to use your source code version.

This is not to say that I'll not fix this by patching it in Debian.  I'd
just like to ask you that in the future you either:
  - ask _nicely_,
  - and/or be constructive and do your part of work where you can.

There is also some debugging task to do:
  - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506246
Just have to replicate the environment on a machine and try it out
with a lot of requests to see if we can reproduce at least.

Or some little, easy issues:
  - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=299796,
  - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=299872,
  - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=299873,
  - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=569786,
  - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=735195.

Thank you.

Bug#708220: ftp.debian.org: RM: shaperd -- RoM; not compatible with new kernels, not maintained by upstream

2013-05-14 Thread Gergely Risko
Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

Please remove shaperd from unstable.

There has been no new release since 2002: http://freecode.com/projects/shaperd

And now it's not usable anymore with newer kernels, since IPQ is gone:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=707444

Also, the whole traffic shaping infrastructure in the kernel got a lot
more mature and it's well documented now; so easy to configure but hacky
solutions, like shaperd is not so needed as in 2002.

Thank you,
Gergely

Yes, I agree, this makes a lot of sense.

Please add me to the alioth group and I will try to spend some time on

Okay, then this was a bit of a misunderstanding, but my decision is
still final.  Sorry about the confusion.

If anyone wants to continue whatever way they see fit, the git repo,
containing the packaging can still be found at

Bug#609845: ftp.debian.org: RM: imapsync -- RoM; author doesn't want us to distribute his program

2011-01-26 Thread Gergely Risko
Dear Jeff,

Thank you for your opinion.

Please consider the fact that the author explicitly asked us to _NOT_
distribute his software.  I do not believe that Debian is (or should be)
an organization that disregards a request like this.

The author explicitly said that he is trying a new business model and it
is clear that our distribution makes that harder.

If you do not agree with this reasoning and you want to go the opposite
way, feel free to buy the source from Gilles (or download an old version
for free if you are really that cheap), relicense it as GPL, find a new
name, find a new maintainer in Debian and upload a new package.

But I do not want to be part of it and I sincerely hope that other
Debian Developers feel the same way and honor Gilles work enough to not
intentionally try to kill his business.

> I do not understand why you wish to remove from the debian archive

So please accept my explanation and please understand, that I do not
abandon the package because of the license problems, but because of the
request of the upstream author.

> As far as I can see, the author of this software has even said in a

You are reading very selectively.

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=609845#60

Please observe, the short "No." it contains everything.

Gilles: if I misunderstood you, please say it, but currently I do not
see any reason why Debian should distribute this software against your
will.

Jeff: the package is already removed, so our argument is quite
hypothetical anyway, a new upload has to be done if you want to see the
package again in unstable.  Happy hacking if you are willing to work on
that, with the current status of the upstream I am not willing.

Thanks for your mail,
Gergely

Severity: normal

Hi,

Please remove imapsync from unstable.  New versions of the program can
only be downloaded for money from the upstream author's website and
therefore distributing the program for free in Debian is not requested
by him anymore.

The whole discussion can be found in #609845.

Thank you,
Gergely

Bug#609845: situation of imapsync and Debian (was: Re: Bug#609845: huge memory leak when syncing large mailboxes)

2011-01-23 Thread Gergely Risko
Hi guys,

Executive summary for new recipients (debian-legal): imapsync has
changed its distribution policy, downloads from the author's original
website are not free (as in beer) anymore.  Of course `apt-get source'
or `apt-get install' is still free, as the package is still in the
Debian archive.  The licensing hasn't changed, Debian's distribution of
the package is still legal.  As the maintainer of the package, I am
starting discussion about the future of this package in the archive.

Details:

Sorry for hijacking this thread for license/distribution discussions,
but I guess this is the best way to keep the people notified who are
already in this discussion.

No shame on either sides.  I totally agree: you should have a safe and
nice living and you should have enough money to pay for it.

On an orthogonal note, I am not feeling comfortable about dealing with
imapsync Debian packaging anymore.  It is my (sparse) free time and I
would like to commit it to projects that are free (as in speech _AND_
beer) and easily downloadable from the original author without any kind
of payment and/or license reading/investigation.  Please accept my
decision about this.  Thanks for all the time in the past you have spent
on discussing with me, dealing with Debian stuff.

I do not have the legal skills to discuss wether your webpage and your
distribution policy of imapsync
(http://www.linux-france.org/prj/imapsync/) is compatible or not with
the debian social contract.  I will leave this to the debian-legal
people.

Now imapsync doesn't have a debian maintainer anymore, so we will have
to look for a new one.  You can read about the Debian process for this
at http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/.  Of course the upstream author's
opinion is very important to us, so Gilles, let me ask you a few
questions:

   - do you want Debian to continue distributing your program
 (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/mail/imapsync)?

   - if yes, do you want us to update the package for later versions?

   - if yes, will you provide the source code to us for free and allow
 us to redistribute it?

If it is needed, I am happy to contact the ftp masters to make any
necessary deletion from the Debian archive as quickly as possible.

Thanks again for working with us and I wish you good luck with your
business around imapsync and/or other projects.

Gergely

According to:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/12/msg2.html

Squeeze is frozen, you are right in that.  I can do the upload
nevertheless: it will update in unstable and migrate to the next testing
release (wheezy), when it will be opened.

I know this is late compared to being accepted to squeeze, but I can't
really do anything about this.
