Bug#839210: ITP: bash-unit -- bash unit testing enterprise edition framework for professionals

Package: wnpp

  Programming Lang: Bash
  Description : bash unit testing enterprise edition framework for 
professionals

bash-unit is a unit testing software for bash.

It allows you to write unit tests (functions starting with test), 
run them and, in case of failure, displays the stack trace with 
source file and line number indications to locate the problem.

Source of a proposal for a debian package is available here:
https://github.com/pgrange/bash-unit_deb

This proposal for a debian package relies on gbp. How to build the 
package is described in debian/README. I tried my best to follow 
debian good practices but without a lot of experience in Debian
packaging.

This package is usefull for unit testing bash script or writing
unit tests in bash for other programs. For a full description
and documentation, please take a look at:
https://github.com/pgrange/bash-unit

I use this software in a daily basis on debian systems. A small
community is emerging, also using it and asking for easier ways
to install it on Debian systems.

I am aware of one alternative Debian package providing similar
functionaltities: shunit2. bash_unit and shunit2 propose
different testing methods and workflow. It has been reported that
people using bash_unit won't use shunit2 to write their tests but
I may not be objective about that ;) bash_unit officially supports
only bash where shunit2 tries to support more shells.
This package would improve bash unit testing support for Debian.

I am the main developer of bash-unit. I maintain the software and 
intends to maintain de Debian package as well. As far as I 
undertand the Debian package policy, I think I need a sponsor.

Hoping to find a sponsor for this package and lookin forward for
any feedback.
Regards,
Pascal.

Bug#839185: ITP: libopenmpt -- module music decoding library based on OpenMPT

[James Cowgill]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: James Cowgill 
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org

* Package name: libopenmpt
  Version : 0.2.7025~beta20.1
  Upstream Author : OpenMPT contributors
* URL : https://lib.openmpt.org/libopenmpt/
* License : BSD-3-clause
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : module music decoding library based on OpenMPT

libopenmpt is a cross-platform C++ and C library to decode tracked music
files (modules) into a raw PCM audio stream. It is based on the player
code of the OpenMPT project, a descendant of the original ModPlug Tracker.

I intend to maintain this package as part of the Debian Multimedia Team.

The existing libmodplug is also descended from the ModPlug Tracker like
libopenmpt. libopenmpt specifically aims for more accurate decoding
compared to libmodplug, and is currently more activly developed (by
virtue of being part of a larger project).

Dear M. Racine and DDs,

This seems like an opportunity for a useful HOWTO, or page in the
Debian wiki, or a new section in wiki.debian.org/Partition.

Page title or section heading of "I've upgraded my RAM and my
swap partition/LV is no longer big enough to hibernate".

1. Notice to refresh one's backups before attempting this.
  * For lay users, this might require additions to the
"BackupAndRecovery" wiki page.
  * Needs consensus on the type of backup.  I imagine a bare-metal
backup/restore from a live cd would be easiest for lay users...
2. Officially recognised boot/rescue cd
  * for lay users, it must contain system-config-lvm and gparted
  - Is GNOME Disks sufficient?
  * Is everything needed for this already on the gnome live disk?
3. Try system-config-lvm first; if it can't find any LVM-managed
disks, then close it and use gparted or GNOME Disks.
--
4. Resize a partition or LV.
5. Delete swap partition or LV.
6. Create new swap partition or LV.
  * Does LVM swap need to be contiguous for hibernate?
  * What is the official minimum size of swap file for hibernation?
  - I've always used something like:
  echo "`free -m | grep Mem | awk '{print $2}'` * 1.15" | bc -l
--
7. There would also need to be a section on reinitialising encrypted
   swap.  Consideration of this is why I went with the delete, resize
   create method rather than attempting to resize, because I'm not
   sure if resizing encrypted swap is supported...and I have no
   experience with encrypting disks/partitions/LVs.

If the format is for lay users, using a GUI, then including
screenshots would make sense?  Where can I upload images to for use in
the Debian wiki?  I'd be happy to work on this documentation if no one
else wants to.  Please comment on the proposed document structure and
the issues I've raised in the sub-points.  Also, if someone with
experience with LUKS would like to write this documentation (or the
LUKS section), please let me know! :-)

Regards,
Nicholas

Re: Alternative solution (was: Re: Network access during build)

* Jakub Wilk , 2016-09-07, 23:49:

you can completely disable external network with socket_wrapper


... which is a pretty heavy-weight solution, and in fact it breaks asyncssh's 
tests.


Luckily, glibc has a way to disable DNS queries without LD_PRELOAD trickery:

$ RES_OPTIONS=attempts:0 wget http://www.example.com/
--2016-09-29 22:49:22--  http://www.example.com/
Resolving www.example.com (www.example.com)... failed: Temporary failure in 
name resolution.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘www.example.com’

Bug#839142: ITP: zaqar-ui -- OpenStack Queueing as a Service

[Thomas Goirand]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Thomas Goirand 

* Package name: zaqar-ui
  Version : 1.0.0~rc1
  Upstream Author : OpenStack Foundation 
* URL : https://github.com/openstack/zaqar-ui
* License : Apache-2.0
  Programming Lang: Python, JavaScript
  Description : OpenStack Queueing as a Service

 Zaqar is a multi-tenant cloud messaging service for web developers. It
 combines the ideas pioneered by Amazon's SQS product with additional semantics
 to support event broadcasting.
 .
 The service features a fully RESTful API, which developers can use to send
 messages between various components of their SaaS and mobile applications, by
 using a variety of communication patterns. Underlying this API is an efficient
 messaging engine designed with scalability and security in mind.
 .
 Other OpenStack components can integrate with Zaqar to surface events to end
 users and to communicate with guest agents that run in the "over-cloud" layer.
 Cloud operators can leverage Zaqar to provide equivalents of SQS and SNS to
 their customers.
 .
 By installing python-zaqarclient you get programmatic access to the Zaqar v1.0
 API library. Plus, it installs a plugin to python-openstackclient that allows
 you to perform simple queue operations.
 .
 This package contains the OpenStack dashboard plugin.
