Bug#711212: ITP: libfastutil-java -- Java API providing type-specific maps, sets, lists and queues

2013-06-05 Thread Andreas Tille
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Andreas Tille ti...@debian.org

* Package name: libfastutil-java
  Version : 6.5.4
  Upstream Author : Sebastiano Vigna vi...@acm.org
* URL : http://fastutil.di.unimi.it/
* License : Apache-2.0, LGP
  Programming Lang: Java
  Description : Java API providing type-specific maps, sets, lists and 
queues
 Fastutil extends the Java™ Collections Framework by providing
 type-specific maps, sets, lists and queues with a small memory footprint
 and fast access and insertion; provides also big (64-bit) arrays, sets
 and lists, and fast, practical I/O classes for binary and text files.
 .
 The classes implement their standard counterpart interface (e.g., Map
 for maps) and can be plugged into existing code. Moreover, they provide
 additional features (such as bidirectional iterators) that are not
 available in the standard classes.
 .
 Besides objects and primitive types, fastutil classes provide support
 for references, that is, objects that are compared using the equality
 operator rather than the equals() method.


Remark: I have basically finished the lintian clean packaging and moved
the debian/ dir to

http://people.debian.org/~tille/packages/libfastutil-java/

In the packaging I used Debian Med team as maintainer which is motivated
by the following reasons:

  1. It is a precondition for one of the Debian Med targets (goby) as
 explained here
  https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2013/02/msg00152.html
  2. If I would stay the only Uploader it would make sense to keep
 it here because I'm watching this team very closely

However, I honestly think that the packaging should rather be done
inside the Debian Java team and I'm perfectly fine to move the
package in their repository (I can cope with Git and SVN - whatever
is prefered).  I hope that ACLs are set for DDs so I can commit
straight to this dir.  Is there any document that describes things
I should know about this team.

The third option would be to move the package into
   Debian GIS Project pkg-grass-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org
team because my basic motivation to create the package was rather
not the precondition for goby but rather to update mkgmap (that's
why bug #580170 is in CC).

As a last resort I would use collab-maint (which would be the less
prefered option for me).

What do you think?

In any case if you want to become an Uploader of the package and want to
share the maintenance that's more than welcome.

Kind regards

   Andreas.

Quick review:
- A get-orig-source target in debian/rules would be welcome
- There is a typo in debian/copyright: On Debian systems you can find a
copy of GNU Lesser General Public License at
/usr/share/common-licenses/Apache-2.0


 What do you think?

There are other libraries depending on fastutil, it may have a wider
usage in the future than your immediate need. I think that would make
sense to put it under the Java Team umbrella so we can help and ensure
its consistency with the other Java packages.

Done:

get-orig-source:
mkdir -p ../tarballs
uscan --verbose --force-download --destdir ../tarballs


 - There is a typo in debian/copyright: On Debian systems you can find a
 copy of GNU Lesser General Public License at
 /usr/share/common-licenses/Apache-2.0

Hmmm, what exactly is the typo?  Sorry, can't parse it. :-(

That's fine.  Any doc / example package?  Git or SVN prefered?

Kind regards

   Andreas.

Thank you. I'm used to see the source tarball installed in the parent
directory. Will it work if copied into ../tarballs instead?

There is a mix between LGPL and the Apache-2.0 license at the end.

Use the VCS you prefer, the Java Team works with both.

As far as I know svn-buildpackage is using tarballs there (but I
personally do not use svn-buildpackage - it's just that we have some
people in Debian Med team who really love the setting above.  I do
absolutely not mind.  Feel free to change it - it is in

  svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-java/trunk/libfastutil-java

now. ;-)

If I do not hear anything from you I'll upload tomorrow with what
I find in SVN.

Thanks for reading aloud. ;-)

Done as mentioned above.

Thanks for your hints
