Bug#992987: RFP: pooler -- Optimise DNA sequencing primer-set combinations
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Would the Debian Med team be interested in Primer Pooler for Debian's Next Generation Sequencing section? Primer Pooler has been used and cited in cancer research, plant science and climatology, and I am also aware of its use at a national food standards agency and other places. It should be an easy package to maintain, being a single C binary and man page, and it's quite stable now (the last few updates were changing the wording of some messages in response to occasional user misunderstandings). I could probably maintain it myself if I had a little help with the initial stage of making it Debian-compliant. (I am the upstream developer.) License is Apache 2, and there is a FreeBSD package, see https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/biology/pooler/ Upstream is http://ssb22.user.srcf.net/pooler/ or in Git: https://github.com/ssb22/PrimerPooler Thanks.

Bug#707097: RFP: gradint -- learning tool for spoken words using graduated-interval recall
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Is anybody interested in packaging Gradint? It's GPL v3 and it requires python (2.x), and virtually requires sox and libsox-fmt-all. Recommended (highly) is espeak and python-tk. It's a learning tool for creating vocabulary practice sessions using the graduated-interval recall memory technique. Please see http://people.ds.cam.ac.uk/ssb22/gradint/ Packaging might simply be a matter of renaming gradint.py and putting it into /usr/bin, but I'm happy to make changes to the way Gradint runs if needed. Packages to put in its suggested list might include: - python-tksnack (for recording); - mpg123, mpg321, madplay, or mplayer (if sox doesn't have MP3 support); - unzip (for installing the optional extra voice data); - gzip (if you want your progress files to be compressed); - festival or flite (if espeak is not available); - lame, faac, oggenc, toolame, or speexenc (for non-realtime output); - leafpad, gedit, nedit, kedit or xedit (text editors) but none of these are really required. The additional voice data for Mandarin and Cantonese (downloaded from the link in the sidebar) would increase the package size rather a lot; perhaps that should be optional (if it's included at all).

Bug#707101: RFP: web-adjuster -- proxy for customizing modern websites
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Web Adjuster: http://people.ds.cam.ac.uk/ssb22/adjuster/ it lets you set up a server to provide arbitrary customization of websites for use with your mobile phone etc. License is Apache 2. Requires python-tornado and python (2.x), suggests python-imaging (for optional font rendering), poppler-utils (for pdftotext), and calibre. It's only one file, adjuster.py. Packaging it should simply be a matter of giving it an appropriate name and path. I'm happy to make changes upstream if needed. (There's also a related program, Annotator Generator, but I'm not sure if that should be in the same package.) Thanks.

Recommends espeak, suggests festlex-oald. It can convert between the phoneme formats of Festival, eSpeak, SAPI (for MS Windows), Cepstral, Mac, X-SAMPA, Acapela UK, CMU, and Unicode IPA.

Bug#316535: Screen DPI
Hi, Per Olofsson writes: The Screen DPI setting should probably be removed from Preferences. LyX should always use the DPI given by X. That would make the problem worse. What I actually want to do is get LyX to use my 20-pixel font for its on-screen text. This is because the 20-pixel font is the most readable for me. The pixel size is worked out by screen DPI * zoom setting / 720 but only integer zoom settings are allowed, so if the screen DPI is not a divisor of 720*20 then it's not possible to find a good zoom setting. Therefore, it's best if we can control the screen DPI from inside LyX, or else make it possible to have non-integer zoom settings or to choose pixel sizes directly. Thanks.

Bug#361637: gcc-3.3: takes too much RAM when compiling const arrays
Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.5-13
Severity: minor
I tried to compile flite (Festival Lite, the speech
synthesizer) using gcc. One of the source files is a
7.5-megabyte C file with no includes and the only thing it
contains is a single array of the form
const char array[]={142,152,276,371,
... and so on for 7.5 megabytes (automatically generated)
Why does gcc need well over 250 megabytes of RAM to compile
this? My 128M system was not up to the task. I was later
able to compile it without problems on a system with 1G of RAM.
Automatically-generated arrays like this are reasonably
common enough to warrant an effort to compile them more
efficiently, especially for the benefit of people who don't
have the latest hardware to compile on.

Bug#324542: cjk-latex: Different horizontal/vertical DPI cause wrong size CJK characters and overprinting
Package: cjk-latex
Version: 4.5.1-4
Severity: normal
I used \begin{CJK*}{GB}{song} .. \end{CJK*} around some
GB2312-encoded Chinese characters in a letter which I
intended to send by fax. Because I was going to fax it
using a fax modem, I used the -Pdfaxlo option of dvips
(see /etc/texmf/dvips/config.dfaxlo) so that Metafont is
set to generate optimal bitmaps for the G3 fax resolution
(204dpi horizontal, 98dpi vertical). This resulted in the
Chinese characters coming out as double height (as seen
in GhostScript) and partially overprinting the line above.
It seems that, when the CJK characters were involved,
Metafont ignored the fact that the vertical resolution was
only about half the horizontal resolution. This bug would
also affect people who want to use Metafont to optimise
the quality of old inkjet printers that have different
horizontal and vertical resolutions, although it may not
be so obvious.

Package: mozilla-firefox Version: 1.0.4-2 Followup-For: Bug #318061 It seems that a little more information has appeared on that page now. Code execution through shared function objects sounds scary. Why not simply backport 1.0.5? I can't see any major difference between 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 except for these security problems. The same goes for all future security updates they put out (as long as they're only security updates). Alternatively, is there a simple way of providing an option to run Firefox in a sandbox, so it can't touch your home directory and its settings are restored after each session? (Not restored to factory defaults, but restored as you want them.) That would mitigate most of the risk, although there might be some stack-smashing bug that allows trojan sites to execute arbitrary machine code and potentially break out of the sandbox by exploiting a 'suid' vulnerability. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.23 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB) Versions of packages mozilla-firefox depends on: ii debianutils2.8.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.3.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libatk1.0-01.8.0-4 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.3.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc11:3.4.3-13GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.6.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-02.6.4-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libidl00.8.5-1 library for parsing CORBA IDL file ii libjpeg62 6b-10 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libkrb53 1.3.6-2 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libpango1.0-0 1.8.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-1PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.5-13The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxft22.1.7-1 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxp6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System printing extension ii libxt6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Toolkit Intrinsics ii psmisc 21.5-1Utilities that use the proc filesy ii xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4.sarge.1 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#317256: tetex-bin: \pdfadjustspacing and \pdfprotrudechars no longer working
Hi, Hilmar Preusse writes: Did you try to clarify that on any kind of mailing list/newsgroup etc? No because I'm not sure which newsgroups would understand me if I said the Debian package. Further I think it was never a good idea to implement that manually, cause there are packages to get protrusion. pdfcprot should work even with the version in woody, cause it has about the same age. pdfcprot does work in woody and also in sarge. But the problem is that microtype doesn't work (so no font expansion). Last question: Could you tell, which pdfTeX version we had in 1.0.7? I don't have a pure woody installation any more. Neither do I. I've upgraded to sarge, and that's when I reported the bug. Doing it manually worked fine in woody but not in sarge.

Hi,
The pdfcprot package only helps with character protrusion
not font expansion. microtype does both. Font expansion is
the more important of the two because it can lead to much
nicer line breaks and distribution of grey through the
document.

mv * /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/microtype
texhash
But when I put \usepackage[verbose]{microtype} in my
document, it did the protrusion OK but it didn't do font
expansion (and consequently there was no effect on the line
breaks). I tried:
\usepackage[verbose,protrusion=true,expansion=true]{microtype}
and I got:
kpathsea: Illegal fontname `aer12+20': contains '+'
The pdftex documentation says that if 'autoexpand' is in
use then the adjusted fonts are kept in memory (which I
suppose means kpathsea should have nothing to do with it).
However, it also says autoexpand applies to pdftex version
1.20 or above, but Sarge has version 1.10b. (Presumably
that means if kpathsea didn't complain then pdflatex
would notice that the fonts are missing, because without
autoexpand it won't generate them.)
I don't know how the old Woody version of pdflatex managed
to do font expansion then. Any ideas how to get it back?
Thanks.

When I was using Debian Woody, I would put
\pdfadjustspacing=2 \pdfprotrudechars=2 in the preambles of
my letters and other documents, and this would make a
positive difference to the spacing when typeset with
pdflatex. After the upgrade to Sarge, the presence or
absence of this setting appears to make no difference
whatsoever to the printed output.
It seems that some of the internal mechanisms of pdftex have changed.
A short glance on the pdftex documentation seemed to imply that it
should work as you describe, but here (with teTeX-3.0 from Debian
experimental) it doesn't work, either. What helps, however, is to use
pdfcprot.sty (or probably also microtype.sty) - unfortunately, both are
not in teTeX-2.0:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{lipsum} % not in teTeX
\usepackage[activate]{pdfcprot}
% \pdfadjustspacing=2
% \pdfprotrudechars=2
\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{3}
\lipsum[1-4]
\end{multicols}
\end{document}
But I guess that is must be possible somehow to achieve the same without
loading a package - I just don't know how.

Bug#317570: lilypond: convert-ly not working
Package: lilypond
Version: 2.2.6-3
Severity: normal
Here is a piece of music in Lilypond format which I wrote on
Debian Woody and it worked fine. When I upgraded to Sarge,
it wouldn't typeset anymore. I tried using convert-ly to
upgrade it, but the resulting output from convert-ly
wouldn't typeset either, and it gave me quite a lot of
complex error messages and it may take me many hours to
figure out what I have to fix now. This is not the sort of
thing that should happen when upgrading a reliable system
like Debian stable. I want my music back!

Bug#316983: /etc/logrotate.conf should send HUP to syslogd
Hi,
OK I've figured out what the problem is now. I use Software
Suspend in my kernel, and /etc/suspend.conf was set to run
mountnfs.sh on resume. The new mountnfs.sh in Sarge runs
bootclean.sh (it didn't do that before), and bootclean.sh
cleans up /var/run. So /var/run was being cleaned every
time I resumed from suspend in the morning, even though
sysklogd was still running (it was resumed from suspend).
So when /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd tried to do
/etc/init.d/sysklogd reload-or-restart which invoked
start-stop-daemon to do its work, start-stop-daemon saw
there was no PID file but there WAS another running syslogd
process, and so it did NOTHING. My /usr/bin/killall -HUP
syslogd in /etc/logrotate.conf seemed to fix it becuase I
hadn't actually qualified it with syslog so it did it after
rotating every log (and logrotate runs just after
cron.daily/sysklogd, so it seemed to fix the problem).
So it's not a logrotate bug. However there may be an
initscripts bug to report, since I don't see why mountnfs.sh
should run bootclean.sh, given that an admin might well want
to use mountnfs.sh to mount the NFS independently of
cleaning /var/run. (I notice that there's already a bug
filed about this, bug 286479. I'll put some more info in it.)

Bug#316983: /etc/logrotate.conf should send HUP to syslogd
Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7-5
Severity: normal
After I upgraded from woody to sarge, syslogd is no longer
signalled when the logs are rotated. The effect is that
syslogd continues to write to /var/log/syslog.0 instead of
the new /var/log/syslog, and my log tracking scripts (which

I worked around the problem by putting the following in
/etc/logrotate.conf and I'm suggesting this should probably be in there by
default:
/var/log/syslog {
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd

}
/var/log/messages {

Bug#267983: flwm: (patch enclosed) This is an accessibility bug
Package: flwm
Version: 1.00-7
Followup-For: Bug #267983
This is an accessibility bug because it can make flwm
unreadable for people like me (my visual disability means I
need bright text on a dark background, not the other way
around).
The colours used to work OK in Debian Woody.
I did apt-get source flwm and had a look. In Menu.C,
there are 2 references to FL_BLACK (hard-coded black
colour). I replaced both instances of FL_BLACK with
Fl::get_color(FL_FOREGROUND_COLOR) and then I compiled it by
doing aptitude install libfltk1.1-dev (to install the
necessary libraries) and ./configure and make. The
result was that most of the menus display correctly, but not
new desktop, logout or the title bars.
I fixed the title bars by editing Frame.C and replacing both
fl_color(labelcolor()); (line 1153) and
fl_color(parent()-labelcolor()); (line 1172) with
fl_color(Fl::get_color(FL_FOREGROUND_COLOR));
For the remaining 2 menu items, I edited Menu.C and replaced
line 624,
while (menu[n].label()) menu[n++].labeltype(TEXT_LABEL);
with this:
while (menu[n].label()) {
menu[n].labelcolor(Fl::get_color(FL_FOREGROUND_COLOR));
menu[n++].labeltype(TEXT_LABEL); }
That causes the colour to be set for these items (otherwise
it is left at zero which is black).
There remains the dialogue boxes for new desktop name and
logout. I added code to set the colours properly in these
as well. Here is a patch with all the changes I made:

Bug#316630: libxft2: Cannot load bitmap fonts; other fonts look ugly
Package: libxft2 Version: 2.1.7-1 Severity: normal The problem with libXft-2.1.5 described at http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xlibs/2004-March/000263.html appears to be still present in this version. In particular, when I do: fc-list : file | grep dpi (looking to see if it found any of the 100dpi or 75dpi directories, which it certainly should have done because /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts is listed in /etc/fonts/fonts.conf which I have not changed), there is no output. I really want it to be able to load the bitmap fonts because they render much better than the scalable ones (as long as you get the applications to ask for exactly the right size, which you can do by messing around with Xft.dpi in .Xresources if all else fails). The best configuration I can find for scaled fonts is Xft.hinting:true Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.antialias: 0 but it's still not very good (probably due to the fact that it can't use the patented algorithms) so I want to stick to the bitmap fonts. Is there any way of getting an improved version of libxft2 on sarge without having to upgrade the whole distribution or break all the dependencies? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.23 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB) Versions of packages libxft2 depends on: ii libc62.3.2.ds1-22GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfontconfig1 2.3.1-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.1.7-2.4 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libx11-6 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Window System protocol client li ii libxrender1 0.8.3-7 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xlibs4.3.0.dfsg.1-14 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu ii zlib1g 1:1.2.2-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#297916: xemacs21: VM silently loses FCC-d mail when disk is full
Package: xemacs21 Version: 21.4.6-8 Severity: normal VM seems to implement FCC (folder carbon copy) by loading the file you specify, appending the current message to it, and writing the result. If some other process is filling up the disk while this is happening, the resulting folder may be truncated at ANY point, hence losing earlier mail (not just the mail you've just written). I just lost a whole month of email that way. Why didn't VM say something like error writing the folder and keep the copy in the Emacs buffer?
