Bug#821066: ITP: glide -- Vendor package management for golang
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: "ChangZhuo Chen (陳昌倬)" * Package name: glide Version : 0.10.2 Upstream Author : Copyright (C) 2014-2016, Matt Butcher and Matt Copyright (C) 2016, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP Copyright (C) 2015, Google * URL : http://www.example.org/ * License : Expat Programming Lang: golang Description : Vendor package management for golang Manage your vendor and vendored packages with ease. Glide is a tool for managing the vendor directory within a Go package. This feature, first introduced in Go 1.5, allows each package to have a vendor directory containing dependent packages for the project. These vendor packages can be installed by a tool (e.g. glide), similar to go get or they can be vendored and distributed with the package. -- ChangZhuo Chen (陳昌倬) Debian Developer (https://nm.debian.org/public/person/czchen) Key fingerprint = EC9F 905D 866D BE46 A896 C827 BE0C 9242 03F4 552D BA04 346D C2E1 FE63 C790 8793 CC65 B0CD EC27 5D5B signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Bug#821035: ITP: luksipc -- LUKS in-place conversion tool
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Vincent Bernat -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 * Package name: luksipc Version : 0.04 Upstream Author : Johannes Bauer * URL : http://johannes-bauer.com/linux/luksipc/ * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: C Description : LUKS in-place conversion tool luksipc is a tool to convert (unencrypted) block devices to (encrypted) LUKS devices in-place (therefore it's name LUKS in-place conversion). This means the conversion is performed without the need of copying all data somewhere, recreating the whole disk (i.e. create a LUKS device, create a new filesystem on the mapped LUKS device, copy all data back). Instead, the process is reduced to: 1. Unmounting the filesystem 2. Resizing the filesystem to shrink about 10 megabytes (2048 kB is the current LUKS header size -- but do not trust this value, it has changed in the past!) 3. Performing luksipc 4. Adding custom keys to the LUKS keyring I intend to also provide an initramfs hook to make the conversion of a root filesystem for simple cases only (notably cloud payload). -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJXD/hYAAoJEJWkL+g1NSX5efUP/jFnaliNfpQrdLRDtRbdnigb Npks/CXDdE6Zizme8WMnLLgnmVtc0BCrgZqtaNBSFVRh/VKLler8tftOF7aPRrHf d+T5N1hL+0MrFfzBBs68rfUoPirpaalAP+/uS96Oh0o9v2pj22rlWUrCDDj1mbx9 rzUZDcXyUUAkQZYdU0NABMmOuRGJy54yrpfYbORL3m7p8b9XRI4bJgzJcaWhUon1 zyz9toI3l5OgUvSIg0pPmZiP8vJWitpIDQCHbLTTLrhr5man9aHeZC1DzlEk1u8Y w51UI3OWI/J6UmheVnK8XHgHiVY/EfiZI2epFMp8o3ESQ4k2Fxhn/nMf+Wk2vGE9 YQTxeyzVNdcOMwCnt05PZfkytxIGJqsMshGt+w8+6DCEMbXFht7vNWuoldvNfGtC cGoVzErJA/GvinISVJRgVsVwYy+9yi+x11dnNxgGnuKIH7piVELCbYdBalhXOxvE zqx8Dxuf2YjHrfnWIpEZhiw3HtTBQu0Veo9XF2Go6qFFBusAN1tfUfXkCZMPCInC 9TGxcxQK/okK6kRExI7fgrofHmI2gcM11cHNEP1mBAKzUVgcJ81ecffY9wiyPOUR dCdFhuZabojMEzzT+Ytz++QJyoG1lPydd+jqovAvHdvxzjzqy9+3atc8/Jo1G4Ab CcraSGvL4wtU/UoFViKB =QkX1 -END PGP SIGNATURE-
Bug#821024: ITP: xcb-util-xrm -- utility functions for the X resource manager
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Michael Stapelberg * Package name: xcb-util-xrm Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Ingo Bürk * URL : https://github.com/Airblader/xcb-util-xrm * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: C Description : utility functions for the X resource manager This package contains the header and library files needed to build software using libxcb-xrm, providing utility functions for the X resource manager. . The xcb-util module provides a number of libraries which sit on top of libxcb, the core X protocol library, and some of the extension libraries. These experimental libraries provide convenience functions and interfaces which make the raw X protocol more usable. Some of the libraries also provide client-side code which is not strictly part of the X protocol but which have traditionally been provided by Xlib. This package will be used by the i3 window manager and the awesome window manager.
Re: Packaging of static libraries
* Milan Kupcevic , 2016-04-10, 20:34: We should change policy and packaging tools such that static linking are not enabled by default and only enabled when there is a good reason to do so; when requested by users or when there is some other No, we should not. +1 A lintian check should suffice. Lintian check for what? In the context of discussion and Paul's proposal[0][1] lintian check for statically linked binaries in Debian packages should suffice. If the one we've got[2] is deficient then we should look into it and figure out how to fix it. [...] [0] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/04/msg00210.html [1] https://wiki.debian.org/StaticLinking [2] https://lintian.debian.org/tags/statically-linked-binary.html I wouldn't call the check deficient, but I don't think it does what you'd want it to do. statically-linked-binary is emitted only when the binary is not linked to any shared libraries (not even libc). It would be helpful if we could check if an dynamic binary is linked to a static library from another package; but I'm not aware of any reliable method to implement such check. -- Jakub Wilk
Bug#821008: ITP: pyfr -- flux reconstruction in Python
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Ghislain Antony Vaillant X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: pyfr Version : 1.3.0 Upstream Author : Imperial College London * URL : http://www.pyfr.org/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: Python Description : flux reconstruction in Python Long-Description PyFR is an open-source Python based framework for solving advection-diffusion type problems on streaming architectures using the Flux Reconstruction approach of Huynh. The framework is designed to solve a range of governing systems on mixed unstructured grids containing various element types. It is also designed to target a range of hardware platforms via use of an in-built domain specific language derived from the Mako templating engine. This package will be co-maintained by the Debian Science Team.
Re: Debian policy recommended snippet prevents building packages from external Makefile

I do not understand where your numbers come from. I do not know the number of people that want optimized libraries for HPC, but I know myself more than 10 just around me. I also know lots of HPC clusters installed with Debian. If Debian choose to favor safety wrt to performance (instead of trying to find a good compromise as currently), it will probably loose some users. And no, admins (and most users) do not prefer to recompile software instead of using the installed one (some users do not have enough computer science skills to do it and some admins are already overloaded and will not want to manage a derivative distribution) > And changing the default compiler settings to fit their needs makes even less > sense. However, it already occurred : we compile by default with -O2, not with the compiler default (no -O options). Until now, the Debian project seems to agree that this is a good tradeoff between optimization and "code correction".

Debian policy recommended snippet prevents building packages from external Makefile
Hi
The Problem
~~~
While preparing a backport of GNU tar, I notice that calling
dpkg-buildpackage from an external Makefile errors when we use the
parallel jobs options fails.
A Makefile with something like
do-build:
cd ${EXTRACTED}; dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us
does not work.
The Details
~~~
Suppose you have these files
$PWD/Makefile
all:
cd subdir && $(MAKE)
and
$PWD/subdir/Makefile
$(info $(MAKEFLAGS))
if you call make from $PWD you will get an output of w ( this is the
make switch --print-directory is added, I don't know why at the momment)
Now in the Debian policy 4.9.1 we recommend to add build flags as such:
MAKEFLAGS += -j$(NUMJOBS)
and I guess most packages, like tar, will then call
$(MAKE) $(MAKEFLAGS)
now if dpkg-buildpackages is called from a Makefile in a parent folder
w is passed without being prepended a dash, and it will be interpreted
as a target name, causing make to bail out with
RSH="/usr/bin/rsh" CPPFLAGS="`dpkg-buildflags --get CPPFLAGS`"
CFLAGS="`dpkg-buildflags --get CFLAGS` -Wall" \
LDFLAGS="`dpkg-buildflags --get LDFLAGS`" /usr/bin/make w -j
--jobserver-fds=3,4
make[2]: Entering directory '/home/e.kasper/pve/tar/tar-1.28'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'w'. Stop.
my workaround at the momment is to override dpkg-buildpackage make
call by doing
cd ${EXTRACTED}; dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc -us -R"$(MAKE)
--no-print-directory -f debian/rules"
So am I missing something here ? are we using MAKEFLAGS in a sane way ?
If you came down to here, thanks for your attention !
