Bug#1041668: ITP: hintview -- Program to view HINT files
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Hilmar Preusse X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: hintview Version : 1.3.1 Upstream Contact: Martin Ruckert * URL : https://hint.userweb.mwn.de/ * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: C Description : Program to view HINT files The HINT file format is an alternative to the DVI or PDF format that was designed specifically for on screen reading of documents. Especially on mobile devices, reading DVI or PDF documents can be cumbersome. . Mobile devices are available in a large variety of sizes but are typically not large enough to display documents formated for letter-size paper. To compensate for the limitations of a small screen, users are used to alternate between landscape (few long lines) and portrait (more short lines) mode. The HINT format supports variable and varying screen sizes leveraging the ability of TEX to format a document for (almost) arbitrary values of \hsize and \vsize. Why and how to maintain the package: - Currently the hitex program is included in Debian and one can create hint files. Hence it is highly useful to have a program, to display these kind of files. - I'm a member of the Debian TeX Task force and I'll maintain in the team. I'm a DM, once I got the upload permits I can care of the package myself. -- sigmentation fault signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#1034501: ITP: luametatex -- New generation processing Engine for ConTeXt
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Hilmar Preusse X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org I'm not fully sure about the final name of the source package. The OpenSuSE people name it texlive-context-bin, maybe I'll use a similar naming. * Package name: luametatex Version : 2.10.07 Upstream Contact: Hans Hagen * URL : https://github.com/contextgarden/luametatex * License : GPL, MIT/X Programming Lang: C, CWeb, C++ Description : New generation processing Engine for ConTeXt This is a follow up on the LuaTeX project. The source is considered part of the ConTeXt distribution and managed by the ConTeXt development team and the ConTeXt user group. That way we can guarantee that the engine and this TeX macro package work together as expected. The idea is that users can easily compile the source themselves and that way have a guaranteed long term (minimal) TeX based installation. Because the management scripts are in Lua, only one binary is needed to serve the ConTeXt distribution. In the source code we try to stay close to the ancestors, LuaTeX, pdfTeX, eTeX and TeX, but in the meantime due to additions there is quite some diverge. There are new primitives and submechanisms, there is more control over the inner workings, font handling is mostly delegated to Lua and there is no built-in backend. The code base is all-inclusive and has no (nor will have) dependencies on external libraries. - The TeX engine in this package will be (probably) the default processing engine of ConTeXt. The upcoming 2023 release of Context will hence depend on it. - I'm a member of the Debian TeX Task force, I'll maintain the package as a member of the team. As I'm not a DD, I'd a sponsor for the initial upload. -- sigmentation fault signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Bug#1023474: ITP: check-logfiles -- Nagios plugin check_logfiles
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Hilmar Preusse X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: check-logfiles Version : 4.1 Upstream Author : Gerhard Laußer * URL : https://labs.consol.de/nagios/check_logfiles/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: Perl Description : Nagios plugin check_logfiles check_logfiles is a Plugin for Nagios which scans log files for specific patterns. Features: - Detection of rotations - usually nightly logfiles are rotated and compressed. Each operating system or company has it’s own naming scheme. If this rotation is done between two runs of check_logfiles also the rotated archive has to be scanned to avoid gaps. The most common rotation schemes are predefined but you can describe any strategy (shortly: where and under which name is a logfile archived). - More than one pattern can be defined which again can be classified as warning patterns and critical patterns. - Triggered actions - Usually nagios plugins return just an exit code and a line of text, describing the result of the check. Sometimes, however, you want to run some code during the scan every time you got a hit. Check_logfiles lets you call scripts either after every hit or at the beginning or the end of it’s runtime. - Exceptions - If a pattern matches, the matched line could be a very special case which should not be counted as an error. You can define exception patterns which are more specific versions of your critical/warning patterns. Such a match would then cancel an alert. - Thresholds - You can define the number of matching lines which are necessary to activate an alert. - Protocol - The matching lines can be written to a protocol file the name of which will be included in the plugin’s output. - Macros - Pattern definitions and logfile names may contain macros, which are resolved at runtime. - Performance data - The number of lines scanned and the number of warnings/criticals is output. - Windows - The plugin works with Unix as well as with Windows (e.g. with ActiveState Perl). Further information: - check_logfiles is widely used in the Nagios / Icinga world for log file monitoring. - Maintenance will be done by me. It is just a small package, no need to have a team for this.

Did you file bugs? Will it be helpful if I do?
Found more two packages in non-free:
sid:~# zgrep usr/share/doc/texmf/
/var/cache/apt/apt-file/ftp.de.debian.org_debian_dists_*|awk -F " " '{print
$2}'|sort|uniq
non-free/doc/context-doc-nonfree
non-free/tex/foiltex
I guess the first is our task.
