It allows for traversal of an arbitrary result set using "next", retrieving all results with "all" and resetting the cursor with "reset." Moreover, it caches your results to increase speed.

Bug#550803: ITP: ocaml-cry -- Low-level OCaml implementation of the Shout protocol
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Romain Beauxis * Package name: ocaml-cry Version : 0.1.0 Upstream Author : The Savonet Team * URL : http://savonet.sf.net/ * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: OCaml Description : Low-level OCaml implementation of the Shout protocol ocaml-cry implements the protocols used to connect and send source data to icecast2 and shoutcast servers. It is a low-level implementation, so it only does the minimal source connection. In particular, it does not handle synchronisation. Hence, the task of sending audio data to the streaming server at real time rate is up to the programmer, contrary to the main implementation, libshout. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Experimental queue?
The package MLton is a Standard ML compiler which is itself written in Standard ML. To bootstrap the package building process on a new architecture requires an initial by-hand cross-compile step (and occasionally some source-level patching). Thus, the first upload for a new architecture must be a manual upload of a built-by-hand package. Thereafter I need to confirm that the autobuilders can build subsequent uploads themselves. I intend to bootstrap a few more architectures for this package and wanted to know if this would be an appropriate use for the experimental upload queue. The intermediate packages are probably more unstable than what one expects even from the unstable queue. I was hoping I could get some information about the experimental upload queue as I have never used it: * Do the autobuilders build packages uploaded as experimental? (eg: to confirm a successful port) * Is making an unstable upload really as easy as setting the changes file to experimental? * Can a package uploaded to experimental be migrated to unstable? * I definitely don't want this happen automatically * At some point I probably want to push the newest versions from experimental to unstable (to facilitate building the new architectures) and then upload a new 'final' version that gets autobuilt for all the new targets, landing in unstable. Finally, how can I determine which debian autobuilders have >1GB of RAM (required for a successful build). Advice greatly appreciated.

If you are using mboxes, the index files will be in /var/mail/.imap/ by default. For maildirs, ~/Maildir/.imap I think these are reasonable defaults for the package but if it is needed you can change the location via the mail_location setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf (see /usr/share/doc/dovecotcommon/wiki/MailLocation.txt.gz for details.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

ITP: stockfish -- strong chess engine, to play chess against

Strength here is a relative > impression of the user. We give him various possibilitys. I do not mind another chess engine, especially if it is a good one. However, packaging of UCI chess engines should be improved with respect to polyglot so that merely doing 'polyglot stockfish' work. The chess engine would install a correct stockfish.ini file in /usr/share/polyglot/engines/ and polyglot would be configured to look there by default. In lenny (I did not try sid), you have to look in /usr/share/doc/foo for a foo.ini file which is often not compatible with current polyglot and need to be fixed... Using xboard or scid with a chess engine should be simple, not hard. Cheers, Bill. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Last I checked (whatever ubuntu 9.04 used) there were still some major holes in the main class library. Problems where the behaviour of the API just wasn't right. I figured at the time openjdk was just still trailing in functionality and this wasn't supposed to be a full fledged java release. I guess I was wrong and should've bothered to report bugs, but it's definitely not a given that lack of reported bugs == release quality.
