Hi,

I've been maintaining FSlint for a few years now
and it has proved quite popular. There have even
been (buggy) thirdparty debian packages floating around.
In the latest version (2.14) I have created a debian package,
and it would be create if someone could sponsor this
package for inclusion in debian.

This package is really quite neat.  I've read through much of the
code, (lots of pretty-small bashscripts), and I must say that I'm
inspired.  I especially like this find duplicates pipeline (my own
implementation here):

Cheers. Hopefully we'll get 2.15 into debian soon.
I'm working on your comments and also I have a bug fix
I'd like to get done.


  find . -type f -print0 |xargs -r0 md5sum |sort |sed -re
's/(\S*)\s*(\S*)/\2\t\1/' |uniq -df1 --all-=sep |sed -e 's/\t\S*$//;'

Note throwing away unique file sizes first is a huge optimization.
I also sort by inodes (or path is nearly as good),
which reduces disk seeking a lot.


Does anyone know a prettier way of switching the md5sum output than
this sedscript??  (Has to deal with special pathnames, of course!)

My method is more robust BTW (try path names with spaces)
sed -e 's/\(^.\{32\}\)..\(.*\)/\2 \1/'
Note I think uniq will get key support (like sort) at some stage.
Also debian has a specific patch for -W to compare only
the first N fields. However this is not standard and
has just been removed I understand.


Or a way of optimizing the files removed?  (Probably to maximize the
level of directories which have no normal files anywhere within them
after removal).

Never thought of that. Hmm...

Pádraig.

  It's not required to be a programmer to help Debian, there is a lot of other 
areas where help is needed and welcomed. A few examples: translations, 
documentation. See the link provided by Linas in the previous response for more.

  Debian is an open community, you can plan almost anything you want in the 
appropriate public mailing list. And if no appropriate list exists a new one 
can be created too :-)

  You can start in this one if in doubt, we can always move to a more suitable 
one later. Feel free to suggest anything you think is interesting for Debian in 
public.

If a package's name and description are so crude that
decent people avoid naming the package or talking about
it, then I ask that you let the package die.  Please do
not package such software for Debian.

(One hopes that such a post as this does not bring out
the radical Debian anti-censorship brigade, but
realistically it probably will.  Be that as it may.  I
suggest that that brigade are a remarkably noisy
minority.  Anyway, please don't package the proposed
package.  This is my request.)

the description if it is so offensive?

Who I contact to remove one package from Debian ?

2006-03-06 Thread José Carlos do Nascimento

Hi, all

Im mantainer of *visualboyadvance package and I need to remove it from 
debian.
This package doesnt compile with g++-4.0 or g++-3.4.  It just compile 
with g++-3.3.
g++3  will be discontinued in Etch. And VBA is last package that still 
need g++3


I tried to contact upstreamer, but project seems dead :(

That's the job of the ftp-master.  Just fill a bug against
ftp.debian.org and set something like RM: visualboyadvanc -- RoM; dead
upstream, RC-buggy, needs old gcc (RM==remove, RoM==reqyest
of maintainer) as subject.  That should do fine.


Yours sincerely,

You should file a bug against ftp.debian.org requesting that it be
removed from testing and/or unstable.  Check the titles of the bugs;
use:
  RM: $package -- RoM $reason

If you're hoping that gcc will get fixed, then you might not want it
removed yet from unstable just yet.

RFC/RFS: bcpp - C(++) beautifier

2006-03-06 Thread Miriam Ruiz
bcpp indents C/C++ source programs, replacing tabs with spaces or the
reverse. Unlike indent, it does (by design) not attempt to wrap long
statements.

This version improves the parsing algorithm by marking the state of all
characters, recognizes a wider range of indention structures, and
implements a simple algorithm for indenting embedded SQL.

Comparable in functionality:

  coreutils {,un}expand
  indent --{no,use}-tabs

 Unlike indent, it does (by design) not attempt to wrap long
 statements.
--line-lengthn presumably can be disable with n=0 or such .. though it
isn't documented.

NEW queue

My package webpy has been in the NEW queue for a couple of weeks:
http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html

Is that for a particular reason, or does it usually take that long?

Is there a bug list somewhere associated with ftp.debian.org on the Web?

You're spoiled - it used to be common for packages to sit in NEW for a
month or more.  These days the ftpmasters are quite a bit faster.

Still, they do NEW processing when they happen to have time.  Two weeks
isn't unusual.  It'd be nice if they cleared the queue out every day,
but that's not a realistic expectation.

2 weeks isn't too bad; I guess it was much worse in the past.

But I suspect that it might be the Affero license.

http://bugs.debian.org/ftp.debian.org

BTW, the rules file at

doesn't have a required 'build' target, which IMO is sufficient reason
to reject the upload.
