Bug#922661: ITP: sandboxfs -- A virtual file system for sandboxing
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Julio Merino * Package name: sandboxfs Version : 0.1.0 Upstream Author : Julio Merino * URL : https://github.com/bazelbuild/sandboxfs * License : Apache 2.0 Programming Lang: Rust Description : A virtual file system for sandboxing sandboxfs is a FUSE file system that exposes a combination of multiple files and directories from the host's file system in the form of a virtual tree with an arbitrary layout. You can think of a sandbox as an arbitrary view into the host's file system with different access privileges per directory. sandboxfs is designed to allow running commands with limited access to the file system by using the virtual tree as their new root, and to do so consistently across a variety of platforms. -- Why is a package beneficial? sandboxfs' primary user is Bazel which is not included in Debian. However, I see sandboxfs as a primitive tool that should be available with minimal fuss and therefore I think a Debian package would be very beneficial for all Bazel users. Being able to tell someone "just run apt install sandboxfs" before running Bazel is much, much easier than having to tell them how to set up the Rust toolchain, build the project, and install it. Plus sandboxfs has other users outside of Bazel as it is a pretty generic FUSE file system. How will this be maintained? This package should be maintained as part of rust-team. I am not yet a Debian developer. I am the primary developer of this software and have experience in packaging for pkgsrc (NetBSD) and Fedora.

Unfortunately, upgrading xserver-xorg-video-nouveau to 1.0.6 and installing libdrm-nouveau2-2.4.40 did not resolve the issue. I have filed Bug 60050 upstream. Also, does it help to disable acceleration (boot with nouveau.noaccel=1 to test that)? Yes, that helped too. -- Julio Merino / @jmmv -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Bug#675626: [pkg-lua-devel] Bug#675626: ITP: lutok -- Lightweight C++ API library for Lua

Exactly. This software seems to be really tight to Lua, so It would be nice to have it close to it. For example when I change the lua5.1 package I also recompile all the lua packages in the svn repository just to be sure I did not break them. In case the policy for lua packages gets changed, or lua packages get renamed, you may also get a patch for free ;-) Sure thing. I was not arguing otherwise. If this package can be overseen by the Lua team for all the benefits you list, the better! Unless you have serious concerns against an svn repository (that will eventually become a git one) I suggest you put your package there. I'm sorry but I don't understand. This is my very first Debian package, so everything related to package development in Debian still escapes my mind... I don't have any problems with using svn, but what for? To store the source package? I'd have thought all packages were stored in the same place/system... so I'm a little bit surprised by this. I may not be understanding this correctly though. Lastly, are any of you actually offering to review this package? :-) Thanks! -- Julio Merino / @jmmv -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#675626: ITP: lutok -- Lightweight C++ API library for Lua
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Julio Merino j...@julipedia.org * Package name: lutok Version : 0.2 Upstream Author : Julio Merino j...@julipedia.org * URL : http://code.google.com/p/lutok/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: C++ Description : Lightweight C++ API library for Lua Lutok provides thin C++ wrappers around the Lua C API to ease the interaction between C++ and Lua. These wrappers make intensive use of RAII to prevent resource leakage, expose C++-friendly data types, report errors by means of exceptions and ensure that the Lua stack is always left untouched in the face of errors. The library also provides a small subset of miscellaneous utility functions built on top of the wrappers. Lutok focuses on providing a clean and safe C++ interface; the drawback is that it is not suitable for performance-critical environments. In order to implement error-safe C++ wrappers on top of a Lua C binary library, Lutok adds several layers or abstraction and error checking that go against the original spirit of the Lua C API and thus degrade performance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#578884: libpaper: Remove unnecessary malloc.h inclusion
Package: libpaper
Version: 1.1.23+nmu2
Tags: patch
The malloc.h header is obsolete. malloc(3) is provided by stdlib.h, so fix
headers inclusions accordingly. I'm unaware of any platform that *requires*
the inclusion of malloc.h these days.
