BioMAJ and getData

2011-08-22 Thread Steffen Möller
Dear all,

with BioMAJ [1] and getData [2], our distro has now two tools in the 
distribution that address the retrieval and post-processing
of public (or not so public) databases. Hilmar from the OBF has just pointed me 
to an again very different approach towards the
same by the Open Knowledge Foundation named datapkg [3,4] which is not with us, 
yet. Please have a look at those tools and think
about which may be the most appropriate for you. My personal hope is that we 
can come up with some way that allows package
maintainers to specify instructions for associated data to be downloaded and 
suggest to also install the respective data
management tool. This would allow for a decentralisation of the data 
organisation and help it to scale beyond the most prominent ones.

Cheers,

Steffen

 Dear all,
 
 with BioMAJ [1] and getData [2], our distro has now two tools in the
 distribution that address the retrieval and post-processing
 of public (or not so public) databases. Hilmar from the OBF has just
 pointed me to an again very different approach towards the

 management tool. This would allow for a decentralisation of the data
 organisation and help it to scale beyond the most prominent ones.
 

I made a quick google search, and unfortunately, EBI/NCBI does not seem to 
provide CKAN links/data.
While I need to investigate further on CKAN, it looks a very interesting 
solution (but is it enough to describe data, I do not know). It could worth 
checking with EBI/NCBI guys if such solutions could be deployed.
Indeed, communities (Debian or other) could help to provide packages that 
describe some data, but those organisms manage the data itself. And, from what 
I saw, CKAN/datapkg hold the data itself in the package, it does not seem to 
describe the data/data location. With the existing (and to come) amount of 
data, it would be quite difficult (this is my point of view) to maintain the 
packages with the data itself (some databases change every week).

 Cheers,
 
 Steffen

Re: RFS: Sitplus -- Free software framework for ludic-therapeutic activities

2011-08-22 Thread Luis Rivas
2011/8/17 Andreas Tille andr...@an3as.eu:
 [Luis, I'll drop the CC in case you confirm that you are reading this list]

 Hi Luis,

 thanks for your work on sitplus.

Hi, Andreas. Thanks for reviewing my package. I've uploaded a new
version, 1.0.1-2, to [1].

 Here are my comments.

 1. At first I would recommend to reflect group maintenance via

Done!

 as we are using the Debian Med packaging list as maintainer and it might
 probably make sense to allow DM uploads just in case you might intend to
 become a DM in the future.

Of course, I would like to become a DM. I've set DM uploads to yes.

 2. You are specifying

   Vcs-Git: git://github.com/luinix/sitplus-debian.git
   Vcs-Browser: http://github.com/luinix/sitplus-debian

   to maintain the debian/ directory.  I accepted your application for
   the Alioth Debian Med tam today so you will have access to the
   Debian Med SVN or Git repository at your preference.

   However, if you are using Git the Git-addictive here prefere to
   have a clone of the full upstream source inside ther repository
   using pristine tar.  I can not competently comment on the reasons
   because specifically in the case of sitplus I do se a lot of byte
   ballast (17MB compressed data) for just maintaining the debian/ dir -
   however as a mere GIt beginner I do not feel responsible for the Git
   part of the policy.

   If you don't mind SVN, simply commiting the few files into the SVN
   might be another option for your workflow.  Regardless what you
   decide (i will adapt to any decision) we should use the Vcs fields
   pointing to the Debian Med repository to enable other team members
   commiting flawlessly.

I've uploaded my code to git.debian.org/git/debian-med/sitplus.git and
updated the Vcs field as you told me. I've followed [2], I hope I
didn't made any mistake. I've set commit notifications to
debian-med-com...@lists.alioth.debian.org, is that right?

 3. debian/copyright

   The package includes

    Files: graphics/pictures
    Copyright: 2011 Jordi Martorell Palliso  Lidia Porcar Tabernero
    License: CC-BY-NC-SA

   and CC-BY-NC-SA says:

    * Non-Commercial. You may not use this work for commercial purposes.

   This clause is in conflict with DFGS[1] item
     6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
   and thus makes the package non-free.  Do you see any chance to contact
   the authors whether they might consider a more liberale license?

   BTW, the file graphics/pictures/License.txt mentions

      http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/legalcode
                                                   ^^^
   while debian/copryright says

      http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/legalcode
                                                   ^^^

Upstream has just released a new version that fixes this issue with
graphics/pictures license. Now it is CC-BY-SA. I've uploaded this new
version, 1.0.1.

 4. Please explain debian/sitplus.dirs: etc/ld.so.conf.d
   I do not see any reason for creating this directory which remains
   empty in the final package and twiddling around with ls.so is at
   best hackish and should not be done if not needed.

I've tried several approach for having a private lib directory
(/usr/lib/sitplus). One of them was adding a new directory to ld path.
At the end I have used an RPATH, but I forgot to remove that directory
from the package.

 5. IMHO the files debian/install and debian/sitplus.install are
   competing each other.  I think sitplus.install wins, but I
   would remove debian/install to not confuse others.I would also
   prefix debian/post{inst,rm} files by 'sitplus.' because this
   makes things more verbose in multi binary packages.  The same for
   debian/menu and debian/docs.

Fixed!

 So far for the important remarks, now a bit of nitpicking:

 6. You provided a debian/sitplus.desktop file which is great (I wished
   more maintainers (including me in some cases) would do so.  However,
   a missing manpage is claimed by lintian - it would be great if you
   could write a basic one to follow good packaging practice (feel free
   to ask if you need simple examples).

I've included a very basic manpage, I hope that is enough.

 7. If you switch on lintian -I mode you see some more messages:

   I: sitplus source: quilt-patch-missing-description lib_location_fix.diff
   I: sitplus source: quilt-patch-missing-description packager.diff
   I: sitplus: spelling-error-in-binary usr/lib/sitplus/libspcore.so childs 
 children

   I would at least inform upstream about the spelling error and adding
   some comments to your quilt patches would not harm (even if this is
   no precondition for sponsoring the package for sure).

I've added descriptions to the patches, and I've added a new patch to
fix the spelling error for the moment. I still have to notify
upstream.

 8. debian/rules claims:

    # This file was originally written by Joey Hess and Craig Small.

   So either you mention these two people

That's perfect and I have just noticed your commits on the mailing list.
(I also noted that you just fixed .git/descriptiondescription to be a

Now comes my git-Beginner status where I need help myself:

Fine.  I admit I would probably be too lazy to fix spelling errors in

frequently will end up with adjusting patches to new upstream versions.
But it's quite fine if you are doing so 

 Again, thanks for reviewing my package. Best regards!

I'll keep you informed once I sourted out how to use git-buildpackage
properly.

Kind regards

Latest blog post

2011-08-22 Thread Michael Banck
Hi,

the latest debian-med blog post (syndicated on Planet Debian, CC'd) 
http://debianmed.blogspot.com/2011/08/experimenting-with-amazon-cloud-and.html
has raised some eyebrows.  

First off, it should be somehow stated which person wrote/posted the
particular post for team-based blogs. This blog post was posted by s,
which is not enough IMHO.

Second, the content might be appropriate to the specific debian-med
audience, but advertising commercial cloud services and/or payback
systems (even with obviously good intentions) might be considered
unsolicited spam by other Planet Debian readers, as it indeed did:

Clint yay, spam


Cheers,

Michael

You can tag the posts and have a RSS (for that specific tag) that will

Other posts will be available through the blog but won't be included

Well, the way is simple: Planet only reads rss feeds. Setup your blog to

As the post was still visible now I just disabled Debian Med in planets

 Working on it right now.

 Thanks a lot! :-)

Hum... I have to give up for now. my git-fu is really not up to date.
I have no clue on how to integrate my patch to:
git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/vtk.git

So I am attaching them here. One also need to change the
debian/control file to add libsqlite3-dev

I am fairly confident with the sqlite patch. I am a lot less confident
with the ftgl patch. For some reason FTLibrary.h is not installed in
ftgl installation but seems to be used by VTK internals.
Is is possible to add a lintian override for now, until all those ftgl
issues gets resolved.

Thanks,

What are the differences between the VTK version of these
libraries and their respective upstream version?

 Dear all,

 I have now emailed UniProt regarding the recent discussion on the
 Debian-Med list about the UniProt CC BY-ND 3.0 licence stemming
 from the inclusion of example data from UniProt in EMBOSS (and
 potentially other open source tools like BioPerl and Biopython).

 My email has been received by the UniProt help desk system,
 which assigned reference [help #61792] which should be
 included in the email subject of any follow up correspondence.

 The automated reply also warned that during the summer holiday
 period (until end of August) there may be some delays in dealing
 with queries.

 Regards,

 Peter

I have had an initial reply that the licensing issue will be raised
at the next UniProt consortium meeting, but in the meantime
they recommend downloading test files via the UniProt API
as part of a test suite, rather than bundling files.

Obviously a unit test requiring network access has downsides,
but this seems a practical interim solution for packaging
EMBOSS etc within Debian free.

Peter
