No, nitpicking is fine! (ESPECIALLY from sponsors. ;) ) It helps me getting better. Anyways, I changed the copyright file, as requested. May I bother you to have a look? Thomas

Nitpicking is good! :)
Thank you so much for your input.
Okay, so I prepared the copyright file and intend to apply it to my
package.
Please find it attached to this email. Does it contain what you meant?
If not, could you provide me with a better example than what I just
whipped up?

Hello James. Yes! I confirm. I confirm very much. :) No, it is not of my design, it is Christian's. (Since he is not a subscriber to the Debian mailing list, I took the liberty of putting him into CC.) The theme is DEFINITELY, 100% CC-0 Licensed. It was my decision to do so, so distributions like Debian would to be able to create and share screenshots FREELY, which, as I learned from my other project dMagnetic, is sometimes problematic. "Bundling them as individual files outside the source code" was something I was already thinking about. At the moment, making them part of the source code is the easiest solution for me. In future versions I can make the .BMP files part of the tarball and store them in the /usr/local/share folder, for example. Anyways, interested designers can already extract them easily with % d11amp --gui.theme.dumpdefault=tmp/ modify them with gimp (or whatever), and test them out with % d11amp --gui.theme.dir=tmp/ The tool to make them part of the source code again is not very mature at this point, but you can find it here: https://github.com/dettus/d11amp/tree/main/mark4/tools Does this answer your questions?

(if possible it could be simpler to bundle them as individual files outside of the source code, making it easier for developers and users alike to determine their contents and/or customize them) Thanks, James

On 1/7/23 17:56, Soren Stoutner wrote: Although I completely agree that spamming the list is not appropriate, I also think that Thomas has a valid complaint in that, as far as I have seen, nobody has raised any real objections to his package that have not been addressed, except that there are already a lot of MP3 players. If we generally denied the creation of a new package because there are already other packages that do similar things, a lot of innovation would be shut down. Hence, that is an argument that I find antithetical to the open source movement. During this time period many other packages have been sponsored. Therefore, I think it is appropriate for Thomas to request that someone either point out a valid reason for not sponsoring the package, or else sponsor it.

So, this week, I am trying the SPAMMING approach. ;) I am not a sponsor, but this kind of behaviour cannot be somehow made ‘ok’ by adding a smiley face. It is unpleasant and abusive behaviour. Please remember that you are asking *volunteers* to do work for you *for free*. Patience is the key here. My recommendation is to move on for now; you have posted your ITP, you have invited sponsors, you have done your thing. Now in my experience, a few months can go by until someone finds the time, and wants to spend the time to sponsor your package. No offence; this is only my perspective as someone who relies regularly on sponsorship by the generous Debian mentors. Hello. You, David, are indeed correct: My behavior is something I am also not feeling comfortable with... However, the last package, that I created got overlooked for a long time. So, it is my experience that I have to be persistent. Yes, Soren, it is highly frustrating, feeling somewhat ghosted, by not getting an answer back to my question. (For the record: I am not taking that one personally. Thank you for pointing it out, though! I really appreciate it! :) ) So, yes, spamming the mailing list MIGHT be an overreaction, but I am not really sure that it is. The whole process of getting an application, (one that I wrote as a *volunteer*, and that is dear to my heart), into Debian, is, at the moment, an intransparent one to me. Having it as part of the official package collection would be an honor! Thomas

Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Dear mentors, So, I have noticed that not much has happened with my package in the last couple of days... Which is a shame, because I still think that my project is AWESOME. :) Again, it is a MP3 player. Yes, you have a lot of them in the packages, and this one is not that "Different". It is more of a REIMAGINING of xmms. Afaik, said layer was a fork from x11amp, which was the first Linux Version of WinAmp. It was highly customizable, and a lot of people did that, which you can see here:https://skins.webamp.org. My player d11amp can handle those, and thus looks badass-oldskool. The second point I would like to make about this player is its license model. It relies on GTK4, which stand firmly on the ground of LGPL. There are other players, which are using a different frontend. And those sometimes have a Semi-Commercial License. (You know what I mean. ;) ) With d11amp, even the default skin is EXPLICITLY CC-0, so even screenshots are not a problem. So, to sum up: 1. Looks cool 2. License model is open source friendly On top of that: Isn't the whole point of Open Source to give users the freedom to choose? Please see d11amp as one more option.

There's no need to list libc6/libc-dev (it's in build-essential), the bdependency on debhelper is redundant (you already pull debhelper-compat), and as shown by the "pkg-config: not found" you need pkgconf (which is the new implementation of pkg-config that replaced it). Meow! Hello Adam. Thank you so much! My previous package did not have any dependencies, I am still learning. :) So, I stripped down the Build-Depends slightly, they now look like this: Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 13), libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev (>= 2.22.0), libgtk-4-dev (>= 4.0.0), libmpg123-dev (>= 1.28.0), libzip-dev (>= 0.10), portaudio19-dev, pkgconf What do you think? Upload #9 on mentors.debian.net looks okay to me. Pur. PS: As for the "too-many-mp3-players" argument... I think it is great for the user to have one more alternative. To me, this is what Open Source is all about: Not having one software vendor, telling me which software I have to use; but several, to choose from. And to decide what works best for me, or to become another software vendor myself. :)

It has been published under the BSD 2-clause license and uses mpg123 as backend, and GTK4 as frontend. As such, the license situation is much cleaner than with Qt-based players, such as audacious or QMMP. Instead of building on top of existing projects, it was also a complete rewrite. It is portable, running not only on Debian but also on MacOS and OpenBSD. It would be nice to have it in Debian, given that it adheres to your quality standards, of course. As a site note: I already took the liberty of creating a small package. You can find it here. https://mentors.debian.net/package/d11amp/. This email is actually an afterthought.

Bug#966525: dmagnetic FTBFS on i386: check-sixel failed
Hello Adrian. So, I patched my package, and uploaded to mentors. I got a message with the subject "dmagnetic_0.25-1: ACCEPTED into unstable." It can be found here, https://mentors.debian.net/package/dmagnetic/ but now I am a little bit concerned about the developer information page: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dmagnetic it is still complaining about i386 not working.

Bug#966525: dmagnetic FTBFS on i386: check-sixel failed
Man, I hate floats... I try to avoid them as much as I can, because I am dreading the butterfly effect. And, this time around I was lazy, and one of the butterflies kicked me. Funny thing about the m68k: My project ACTUALLY has an m68k virtual machine inside. ;) Okay, so: This release (0.25) will be fixed in the debian/rules file. Next release (0.26) will be fixed in the software. Thank you for pointing it out! One last thing... Why did your patch say "ifneq... i386"?

Hello Adrian! Hmm... I wonder what is going on there? May I bother you to send me the output of echo "Dreye"| ./dMagnetic -ini dMagnetic.ini \ -vmode "sixel" -vcols 300 -vrows 300 -vecho \ -sres 1024x768 -mag testcode/minitest.mag >fails.txt running on an i386 computer with Debian? That would help me to understand what the issue is. Apparently, it only happens on i386, but I fear that it might occur on other architectures as well.

Edit: Okay, now I see the problem: It is the only place in the code where I used floats. Hmmm. Bummer... You said that your patch helps with that? Then I will add it to the debian package. For future releases, I will get rid of the floating point code. It is ugly anyways. Thomas > Thomas Dettbarn hat am 30.07.2020 14:46 geschrieben: > > > Hello Adrian! > > > Hmm...

Heloo Adam! Thank you sooo much for answering my call. To answer the biggest question: The game data is not freely licensable. I asked the original developers. As for your question regarding the graphics: guild and pawn should run without the need to type in GRAPHICS to see some output. Could you send me the complete commandline you used? Please also try running 'dMagnetic -mag guild.mag -gfx guild.gfx -vmode monochrome' If that does not work, there might be a bug. I usually change the .ini file to get the games running. The debhelper thingie is something i will fix once i have access to a computer.. currently i only have a cellphone to write this. Sorry. Would you be my sponsor?

First, the big question: is there are freely licensed data for this interpreter? If not, the package will have to go into contrib rather than main: it's a section for free stuff that requires non-free to function. The package lacks build-depends on debhelper 12: you use compat 12 yet have "Build-Depends: debhelper (>=9)". Also, nowadays there's a better way to express that: "Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (=12)". The package installs LICENSE.txt (redundant with copyright) and README.txt (redundant with the long desc of the package). After having downloaded game data, I get no graphics. The command "graphics" switches between text only and text + a line with lightgray background + a lot of empty space. I've tried two games: "pawn" and "guild", passing -gfx and -mag each time. The .menu file is obsolete, most desktop environments don't support it anymore, and those which do are hardly maintained.

Bug#929619: RFP: dmagnetic -- A Magnetic Scrolls Interpreter
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : dmagnetic Version : 0.13 Upstream Author : Thomas Dettbarn * URL : http://www.dettus.net/dMagnetic * License : BSD Programming Lang: C Description : A Magnetic Scrolls Interpreter "You wake up on a sunny August morning with birds singing, and the air fresh and clear. However, your joints are stiff and you have not woken up in your bedroom as you would have expected. Trying to recall what happened the night before, you manage to piece together a few brief glimpses to give the following account:" This is the beginning of "The Pawn", a classic text adventure from Magnetic Scrolls. Since I loved those games when I grew up, I created an interpreter called "dMagnetic", to play it on modern hardware. It can also be used to play "The Guild of Thieves", "Jinxter", "Fish!", "Myth", "Corruption" and "Wonderland". The graphics are being rendered in glorious ANSI art, so that you play them on the text console, as well as an xterm window. You can have a look at the beautiful screenshots on my projects website, http://www.dettus.net/dMagnetic. Anyways, since I would also love to see more people playing those games, I took the liberty of creating the inkling of a package for Debian. You can find it at http://www.github.com/dettus/ports_and_packages/. However, I see myself more as a "developer" rather than a "maintainer", and would thus like to give it into more experienced hands. If anybody could take over, it would be great. (Technically, that is an RFA, I know) My goal is to have my project in your package repository, which would be amazing. Thomas Dettbarn
