RFS: wpp -- The Web Preprocessor - a Perl script to preprocess HTML files
Hello mentors! I intend to adopt the orphaned package 'wpp'. Therefore I'm looking for a kind DD to sponsor this package. You can find an updated version in my repository: deb http://tiborius.net/debian/ binary/ deb-src http://tiborius.net/debian/ source/ Package: wpp Version: 2.13.1.35 Homepage: http://wpp.sourceforge.net/ Author: Marco Lamberto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> License: GNU GPL WNPP bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=282304 Description: The Web Preprocessor - a Perl script to preprocess HTML files WPP is a small Perl script that allows preprocessing of HTML files. You can define variables, which are abbreviations for longer constructs, and include common HTML fragments. It's useful for giving an uniform layout to different HTML pages. It can be used into cgi-bin programs for automatic generation of pages. With less HTML code inside them you can make more flexible and readable scripts. . WPP provides four separate facilities that you can use as you see fit: inclusion of text/HTML fragments, variables expansion, conditional generation, macros expansion.

Re: debian directory included in upstream
Eduardo M KALINOWSKI a écrit : What about the case in which the upstream maintainer is the Debian maintainer? I create packages for a piece of sofware I've written. That's my case (well...) and I decided to apply the "Separation of Concerns" paradigm: software development and packaging are different matters, so they are worked and versionned separately. After a few month of usage, I clearly don't regret that choice and have met several cases where using native packages would have been a mess. I don't write the software *for* Debian, but I happen to package it for Debian; that's how I think about it. "I" being the same person isn't a reason for mixing different concerns. The debian/ directory is in CVS, naturally. It is currently distributed in the .tar.gz file. Should it be removed? This would make things more difficult for me, because in the case of a new version, I would need to untar the new .tar.gz file and then copy the debian/ directory from CVS.

normal/minor, the behaviour is more or less correct ('giving an error
message'), it's just not very user friendly.
If it's suid root and might also lead into something else than segfault
(arbitrary code execution or something), it's more severe, but that's a
very specific case.

RFS: "xdkcal" package
Hi, Who I am: A debian user since slink. Why I post here: I prefer minimalistic window managers, but would like to have calendar on desktop nicely integrated with wallpaper - xdkcal just does it. It had however a nasty bug, that caused it to display wrong month name. I submitted that bug, but it was not fixed for a long time, so tried to fix that by myself. I managed to do that, and I found it fun. I could not be a full scale debian developer, but I could be this little package's maintainter or helper maintainer. I don't know if current maintainer Michael Beattie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wants to continue his work on this package. Most bugs for this package are not fixed for several years already. About a package: [from the package] Description: Desktop Calendar for X X Desktop Calendar (xdkcal) is a Calendar for X Window System. It draws calendar on your desktop. You can customize, fontset, color drawing style. This application is completely internationalized so it reads locale database and draw locale specific strings, such as name of months or weeks. Its homepage has gone. New packages: The packages prepared by me are available here: http://www.astercity.net/~pangios/debian/ Please contact me, and I will describe precisely my changes.

If a package can't be compiled on the buildd then usually the package maintainer will get an FTBFS bug filed by the buildd maintainer.
