Bug#697898: ITP: dtv-scan-tables -- Digital TV scan tables for the DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T, and ATSC standards
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Jonathan McCrohan * Package name: dtv-scan-tables Version : 20130111 Upstream Author : Manu Abraham * URL : http://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables.git * License : LGPL Programming Lang: None Description : Digital TV scan tables for the DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T, and ATSC standards Following discussions on linux-media [1], it was decided to split the dvb-apps tree into one for actual DVB applications, and the other for DVB and scan files. It is hoped that this will enable users to receive more up-to-date DVB scan files, perhaps by providing updated versions of this package via stable point releases. This split will be coordinated with the current dvb-apps maintainers, and I will also be maintaining this package as part of the Debian pkg-vdr-dvb team too.

I'm based in Dublin, Ireland, as are a handful of DDs. I don't think there has been an Irish BSP event before but there is always a first time for everything.

RPC versions don't seem to change that often in transmission, so I don't think it should be too big a deal. When it does change, support for the new RPC is added reasonably quickly. I guess an alternative would be to use transmissionrpc as a python interface to the JSON service.

I thought transmission-remote-cli would be better suited to its own package because it a third-party transmission tool, and not part of the transmission project itself [1]. This would also transmission-remote-cli to be updated independently of the entire transmission package.

(apt-get moo?) I would consider this package much the same as sl, xfishtank, cowsay or cmatrix. They all provide something mildly amusing or fun. Developers are not the target audience and are unlikely to install them, but the packages seem relatively popular with users. Popcorn notes over 4500 combined installations of those 4 packages, 3 of which have an upward installation trend so I guess someone must be using them. > I've just done lots of QA work tracking down build failures while > bootstrapping a new architecture, typically in pet packages that have > gone largely unmaintained after a small number of uploads.

I certainly don't plan on uploading and abandoning this package, but given the high level of opposition to this ITP, guess there is little point pursuing it.

The maintainer has not replied so I have uploaded an initial version of libconfig9 to mentors.debian.net [1]. No VCS exists, so this is simply git-import-dsc of libconfig_1.3.2-2, git-import-orig of libconfig-1.4.8 and resolving the conflicts. I will work on fixing up the lintian warnings over the weekend.

libconfig9 for Wheezy?
Hi, libconfig [1] has not been updated since Squeeze, and is lagging upstream by a major version. Packaging the upstream release is not a problem, but an ABI change will require a transition from libconfig8 to libconfig9. The maintainer is aware of the problem, and this has been tracked as wishlist bug #583528 since May 2010 [2]. Is there enough time left to have this updated before the Wheezy freeze window?
