Perhaps my vnu wrapper will prove of use:

I "#include" headers from it in some of my C projects, e.g:

```
shlomif[fcs]:$trunk/fc-solve/source$ ack --sort --cc rinutils | head -10
board_gen/find_deal.c:8:#include 
board_gen/make_multi_boards.c:13:#include "rinutils/rinutils.h"

dbm_move_to_string.h:11:#include "rinutils/rinutils.h"
dbm_procs.h:15:#include "rinutils/portable_time.h"
dbm_procs.h:215:const_AUTO(mytime, rinutils_get_time());
delta_states.h:17:#include "rinutils/bit_rw.h"
delta_states_test_common.h:10:#include "rinutils/rin_cmocka.h"
fc_pro_iface.c:10:#include "rinutils/rinutils.h"
shlomif[fcs]:$trunk/fc-solve/source$ 

shlomif[fortune]:$trunk/fortune-mod$ ack --sort --cc rinutils | head -10
util/fortune-mod-common.h:67:#include 
util/fortune-mod-common.h:68:#include 
```

I was told debian policy didn't approve of using bundled copies in the source
(see e.g. this thread:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-games/2020/03/msg3.html ). gnulib is
GPLed, large, and intended to be embedded piecemeal in GNU projects. There may
be better libraries for my use case, but I extracted lib-rinutils for my
specific needs.

Hi Gergely!

Ping! Can the python-pysol_cards package be sponsored by you?

I'd like to get the new freecell-solver release (
https://github.com/shlomif/fc-solve/releases/tag/freecell-solver-6.2.0
) packaged in debian before the https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBullseye
freeze. Also note that my mother said once that "The lazy man ends up
working twice as hard.". investing the time to do something as best as
possible at first often ends up saving time later. (Sorry if I'm being
too preachy.)

I've written the attached patch (untested).

I'm placing my changes under the following Licence:

Note that the program is still python 2.x which was EOLed. It should be updated
to python 3.x.

Bug#963739: RFP: rshasum -- Recursive digest calculator

[Shlomi Fish]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: rshasum
  Version : 0.6.1
  Upstream Author : Shlomi Fish 
* URL : https://metacpan.org/release/App-rshasum
* License : Expat/MIT
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : Recursive digest calculator

A recursive digest calculator that prints digests for all files in a
directory tree, as well as a total, summary, digest of the output.

Similar packages:

https://github.com/rhash/RHash - "recursive hash". Seems to emit the tree
in an unpredictable, not-always-sorted, order.

https://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/projects/File-Dir-Dumper/ - also on
CPAN, dumps metadata and supports caching the digests.

https://github.com/gokyle/rshasum - written in golang, but slurps entire
files into memory (see https://github.com/gokyle/rshasum/issues/1 ).

Bug#924172: www.debian.org: differences under english/ between builds in stretch and buster

[Shlomi Fish]

Hi Axel!

You can find my attempt to fix the debian build here:

https://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/code/wml.debian-shlomify-1.diff

The sed addition to debian/rules seems to improve matters, but the restoration
of p9_slice (to fix loading SliceTermParser.pm ) gives dpkg-source a fit. I
really find the debian gbp stuff puzzling.

here is the script i used:

Ah - thanks for the update. I guess I can try building the package myself in a
VM/container. For the record, the build and tests pass fine in travis-ci/ubuntu
bionic , locally on fedora and mageia, on the mageia build system, and on
appveyor/mswin10/cygwin .

They are still "statically compiled" (or generated:
https://github.com/shlomif/shlomif-tech-diary/blob/master/static-site-generators--despair.md
), and I verified that they generated the same output before and after using
"diff -u -r", html-minifier and other tools. Template Toolkit is fairly
flexible and has fewer "WTF?" surprises than wml, as I discovered some

wml has and TT doesn't, but I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

Bug#928069: wml uses insecure temporary filenames.

[Shlomi Fish]

Package: wml
Version: 2.12.2

wml below
https://github.com/thewml/website-meta-language/releases/tag/releases%2Fwml-2.20.4
used insecure temporary filenames (e.g: /tmp/wml.$PROCESS_ID.tmp1 ). This
was hopefully fixed in 2.20.4 and can be patched in earlier versions.

Bug#900749: [PATCH] Convert to batch in-process processing

Hi!

This is a preliminary version of the patch I wrote to improve the build
time. It currently only works with english pages and makes use of wml
2.20.3 which isn;t in debian - see
https://github.com/thewml/website-meta-language. Still, it may prove as a
starting point. Licence is expat. I mentioned it on IRC previously.

Bug#916519: wml on Debian should be updated to 2.10.0

[Shlomi Fish]

Package: wml
Version: 2.0.12ds1-13

Hi!

See https://github.com/thewml/website-meta-language/releases - there were many
improvements in the new versions including unbundling of a lot of dependencies,
a new build system, better compatibility with cygwin, a Perl 5 API for
repetitively calling the frontend from one process, and many refactorings and
cleanups.

According to https://www.debian.org/devel/website/using_wml it is used to
generate the Debian site. I am the upstream. One can use this mageia package as
a reference for building the new version:

This makes me angry and disappointed. I reported

thanks for the commentary. I uploaded a 4.8.0-0.1 package with your

Hi.

Your upload of the package 'freecell-solver' to mentors.debian.net was
successful. Others can now see it. The URL of your package is:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/freecell-solver

The respective dsc file can be found at:
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/freecell-solver/freecell-solver_4.8.0-0.1.dsc

If you do not yet have a sponsor for your package you may want to go to
https://mentors.debian.net/sponsors/rfs-howto/freecell-solver
and set the "Seeking a sponsor" option to highlight your package on the
welcome page.

You can also send an RFS (request for sponsorship) to the debian-mentors
mailing list. Your package page will give your suggestions on how to
send that mail.

Good luck in finding a sponsor!

Bug#841445: Even newer 4.6.0 version with more fixes

[Shlomi Fish]

Hi!

There's an even newer version - 4.6.0 which among other things, fixes a freeze
on ARM Linux systems (including Debian ARM unstable) with:

«
pi-make-microsoft-freecell-board -t 24 | fc-solve
»

it possibly affects other architectures where "char"s are unsigned by default.
Note that you may need this patch to build it portably:

http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/freecell-solver/current/SOURCES/disable-delta-states-libs.patch?view=log

Can you please try to get it packaged before the Stretch freeze?

Well, I think the problem I ran into was that there's a lot of other things
called "pyTAP" or something to the effect - see
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=pytap=about and it's hard to know that the one I'm
using is what I need. Perhaps there should be a name/identifier change and a
proper package should be put on PyPI.

Bug#808709: Planning to do a Non-maintainer Upload for Freecell Solver

[Shlomi Fish]

Hi all!

I'm planning to do a non-maintainer upload (NMU) for the freecell-solver
package in Debian given that it was not updated and the bug reports not taken
care of. I'll also try to fix the other bug at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=820440 and possibly some
other bugs.

Risko, please shout if you're not missing in action.

Regards,

Shlomi Fish

Bug#820440: freecell-solver 's homepage link is out-of-date

[Shlomi Fish]

Package: freecell-solver
Version: 3.26.0-1

Hi,

on https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/freecell-solver the homepage points
to berlios.de which is down, while the new homepage is
http://fc-solve.shlomifish.org/ . Please update it, and also please upgrade
freecell-solver in Sid to version 4.2.0.

Regards,

Shlomi Fish (= the maintainer of Freecell Solver).

Bug#808709: freecell-solver version in Sid/etc. is out-of-date

[Shlomi Fish]

Package: freecell-solver
Version: 3.26.0-1

Version 4.0.0 of freecell-solver was released a while ago. You should upgrade
the version in Debian to it.

While you're at it, you may wish to enable the test suite and verify that it
gets passed upon building. You may wish to refer to the Mageia package and
the .travis.yml file over at https://github.com/shlomif/fc-solve for some
dependency details.

Thanks, good luck, and happy holidays,

— Shlomi Fish (= the maintainer of Freecell Solver)

Bug#765336: RFP: black-hole-solver - Solver (C API + CLI program) for Black Hole Solitaire and All in a Row Solitaire

[Shlomi Fish]

Package: black-hole-solver
Severity: wishlist

The Black Hole Solitaire Solver -
http://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/projects/black-hole-solitaire-solver/ -
is a solver for Black Hole card Solitaire and All in a Row card Solitaire ,
providing both a C API and a command line application. It can be used, to
solve these games, by this GitHub branch of the PySolFC package:

https://github.com/shlomif/PySolFC/tree/black_hole_solver_integration

( Note that the pristine PySolFC sources and their derived GitHub versions
cannot be run directly on Debian/Ubuntu/etc. because the cardsets exclude the
LICENSE files and the PySolFC package patched downstream to accommodate for
this change. )

Shlomi Fish

Bug#715914: This bug and similar bugs have been fixed in freecell-solver-3.26.0.

[Shlomi Fish]

Hi all,

thanks to the Mayhem team for reporting this problem, but I wasn't notified of
it. I am the upstream maintainer of Freecell Solver and I discovered it
relatively by accident.

Anyway, this is fixed in freecell-solver-3.26.0:

*
http://fc-solve.blogspot.co.il/2014/05/freecell-solver-3260-was-released.html  

*
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/fc-solve-discuss/conversations/messages/1387

*
https://freecode.com/projects/freecellsolver/releases/363796

I also fixed the other bugs reported by the Mayhem team to the Debian bug
tracker:

* https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=716097

* https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=716171

* https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=716286

And similar bugs in different programs.

Please upgrade the version in Debian Sid to 3.26.0 and you can find the commits
with the fixes in the git repository of Freecell Solver.

Regards,

Shlomi Fish

Bug#733680: I prepared a fix for it.

[Shlomi Fish]

Hi all,

thanks for the investigation - I was wondering why the Spork tests failed. In
any case, I prepared a fix for it at:

https://github.com/ingydotnet/io-all-pm/pull/21

I'm attaching a diff for it.

Just for reference:

It also happens with perl-5.10.1.

To me it seems like a regression in glibc or the kernel.

Best regards,

Bug#733680: Reproduced on CentOS 6

[Shlomi Fish]

OK, I was now able to reproduce this problem on a CentOS 6 VM with perl-5.10.1,
with IO::All 0.39 directory, with kernel 2.6.32 and the glibc that ships with
CentOS 6. So it seems like an old issue unaffected by the kernel and glibc and
which was just uncovered recently.

Bug#675262: Freecell Solver's Package In Debian Sid is Out-of-Date

[Shlomi Fish]

Package: freecell-solver
Version: 3.4.0-1

The Freecell Solver package in Debian unstable is out-of-date - it's at 3.4.0
and there's already 3.10.0 , see:

http://fc-solve.shlomifish.org/download.html

Please update it.

I am the maintainer of Freecell Solver, and I could also publish a new 3.12.0
release (with some improvements), based on the current fc-solve master branch,
just to prevent the extra packaging work. Please let me know if you would be
interested.

Regards,

Bug#510416: Error module

[Shlomi Fish]

On Wednesday 17 Mar 2010 08:05:16 Clint Burfoot wrote:
 Hi Shlomi,
 
 I'm writing to you in your capacity as maintainer of the Error CPAN
 module. I'm the maintainer of the Debian package for the module.
 
 I've had a bug report unable to debug code wrapped by try statement
 lodged against the package. Full details of the report are at the link
 below.
 
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=510416
 
 My intuition is that this is a design limitation, not a bug. May I have
 your comment?

Yes it, is. Using this program:

SNIP
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Error qw(:try);

try {
my $x = 5;
my $y = 6;
print $x*$y ==  , $x*$y, \n;
$x += $y;
$y++;
}
except {
my $E = shift;
print Got $E\n;
};

SNIP

I can debug it by putting a break on the line number of my $x = 5; (using b  
9) and it seems to work fine. Otherwise, I should note that we no longer 
recommend people to use Error.pm, due to the black magical nature of its 
syntactic sugar.

Regards,

Shlomi Fish

Bug#518440: Freecell Solver Package is Out-of-Date

[Shlomi Fish]

Package: libfreecell-solver0
Version: 2.8.10-1

The Freecell Solver packages in Debian are out-of-date. They are only at 
version 2.8.10 while there's already Freecell Solver 2.14.0.

I should note that I switched the build system from the GNU Autotools to 
CMake. You can refer to the RPM .spec file in the package for how to build it.

Let me know if you need any help.

Regards,

Shlomi Fish

Bug#315304: update-menus miscalculates total_menuentries

  Package: menu

  Attached is a fix that makes sure total_menuentries is correctly
  calculated. What it does is reset menuentries to 0 upon each directory
  scan, rather than let it accumulate and then add up times and again to
  total_menuentries.
 
  I did not encounter any side-effects other than incorrect reporting in
  the -v output.

 Thank you for the patch. I have committed a slightly modified version of
 your patch to CVS.


You're welcome, and thanks for applying it.

Shlomi Fish

 Thanks.
