Dear mentors / Multimedia Team / Sam,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package vamp-plugin-sdk. This is
needed to build Sonic Visualiser, which is a very interesting piece of
software for music analysis. It's far more than a usual audio analyzer.
You can put layers on top of the waveform itself, so you san see beat
onsets, spectrum, prominent frequency, power, notes, chords, etc on the
same screen. Data displayed on these layers are provided by Vamp
plugins, based on the original audio data. See [1] for details and examples.

* Package name: vamp-plugin-sdk
  Version : 1.1b-1
  Upstream Author : Chris Cannam [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://www.vamp-plugins.org/
* License : BSD
  Section : sound

Vamp is an audio processing plugin system for plugins that extract
descriptive information from audio data - typically referred to as audio
analysis plugins or audio feature extraction plugins.

Just like an audio effects plugin (such as a VST), a Vamp plugin is a
binary module that can be loaded up by a host application and fed audio
data. However, unlike an effects plugin, a Vamp plugin outputs not
processed audio but some sort of symbolic information. Typical things
that a Vamp plugin might calculate include the locations of moments such
as note onset times, visual representations of the audio such as
histograms, or curve data such as power or fundamental frequency.

Hosts using Vamp plugins include Audacity and Sonic Visualiser.

Although this package is not very useful by itself, I have a packaged
Sonic Visualiser ready for upload, which Build-Depends on
vamp-plugin-sdk, so Vamp has to make it through before I can send RFS
for it.

It builds these binary packages:
libvamp-hostsdk2 - helper library for Vamp hosts written in C++
libvamp-sdk1 - helper library for Vamp plugins written in C++
vamp-examples - example Vamp plugins and host
vamp-plugin-sdk - audio analysis and feature extraction plugins (SDK)

The package appears to be lintian and pbuilder clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 463754

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vamp-plugin-sdk
- - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- - dget

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards,

Hi,

 A long description is really difficult because the 2 words say all :)

no, they don't. Imagine you would be someone who is interested in
cloning a system, but you never heard about tee or netcat. How could the
maintainer of such a program as nettee is, have written the description for
you to find it? BTW. have a look at the manpage. IMHO the description
which is used their is a good starting point.

  - lacks a Homepage header to indicate the homepage. See [1]
 done

Please move it to the source package part of the package, for example
after the maintainer line.

 - debian/copyright
  - Some copyright holders are missing in that file
 Sorry. i did not understand.
 It's the original copyright missing? i have include it.
 my copyright too?

Well, the debian/copyright needs to contain the copyright of each
copyright holder, each file and every differing license. If I do a rgrep
-i '(c)' in the package source directory I still find copyrights that
are not mentioned in your copyright file.

  - Its a good idea to include a On Debian systems the license text
can be found.. notice to the license of the software, because the
link in the packaging is licensed as following-text looks like
it *is* for the packaging only on ordinary people IMHO.
 I have included your text to precede the file location.

No. What I meant is soemthing like this:

License:

.. License Excerpt ..

On Debian Systems the complete text of the ... License can be found in
..

The Debian packaging is ...

 I'tried to do it, but i don't have sure that it's correct because it's
 not clear which data must be in debian/watch. I have included the
 original upstream version download url.

See the manpage for uscan. The format of the watch files is well
documented there.

Well, there are still some comments (besides what I've already written):
- debian/copyright: Wrap lines after 80 characters
- debian/rules:
- Your CFLAGS are not used. Needs some investigation.
- Its nitpicking, but please remove the useless empty
  whitespaces at some line endings (e.g. line 33 and 38)
- debian/changelog: Needs some work. Changelog entries are not as they
  should be. See [1] for some instructions.
- debian/docs: includes beowulf.master which does not seem to be a
  document, but instead an example. See the manpage for
  dh_installexamples on how to install examples
- debian/README.Debian is still in the package. Remember that I and Paul told
  you, that its content is not really what the README.Debian is for.
- debian/watch: No thats wrong. See the uscan manpage.

Yes, if you need to use the contents of the package's files in the
preinst then you need to do this sort of thing. Of course, that
particular hack is only necessary for upgrades from pre-etch, thank
goodness.

RFS: freesweep (ITA, new upstream release)

2008-02-23 Thread Ansgar Burchardt
Hi,

I'm looking for a sponsor for the new upstream version of freesweep.
The package was orphaned, I want to maintain it in the Debian Games
Team.

It builds these binary packages:
freesweep  - a text-based minesweeper

Description:
 Freesweep is an implementation of the popular minesweeper game, where
 one tries to find all the mines without igniting any, based on hints given
 by the computer.  Unlike most implementations of this game, Freesweep
 works in any visual text display - in Linux console, in an xterm, and in
 most text-based terminals currently in use.

Homepage: http://www.upl.cs.wisc.edu/~hartmann/sweep/

Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-games/packages/trunk/freesweep/
Vcs-Browser: 
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-games/packages/trunk/freesweep/?op=log

Lintian v1.23.45 reports nothing, the package was rebuild in a clean sid
install using pbuilder.

The upload would fix five bugs:
 - (normal)   #249896: enters infinite loop when creating too many mines 
 - (normal)   #210644: segmentation fault 
 - (wishlist) #249771: New version available
 - (wishlist) #436862: not handling nostrip build option (policy 10.1) 
 - (ITA)  #465927: ITA: freesweep -- a text-based minesweeper

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
 - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/freesweep
 - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
 - dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/freesweep/freesweep_0.90-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Regards,
Ansgar

Hi David,


A few more comments:
1.) debian/patches/01-fix_pinot.desktop.patch
The desktop file seems to be correctly encoded in UTF-8, so removing the
 Encoding line seems wrong to me.
Could you elaborate why this patch is necessary.

2.) Missing recommends:
/etc/pinot/external-filters.xml seems to use a lot of external tools
(like unzip, pdftotext, antiword, unrtf, ...).
I'd propose to add those tools to recommends or suggests.

3.) The package installs icons into /usr/share/icons/hicolor.
I thus recommend to add dh_icons to debian/rules. Adding a dh_desktop
call wouldn't hurt either, even if the pinot.desktop file currently
doesn't register any mimetypes (yet).

4.) deskbar-applet/python integration.
pinot installs a deskbar module.
This module requires python-(gnome2, dbus, etc, you have to check the
python files). These dependencies are currently missing. Maybe it would
make sense to split out the deskbar module into a separate package, so
the pinot package is not affected by the additional python dependencies.
You should consider using python-support or python-central to install
(and precompile)
/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/pinot-module.py.
The directory /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/handlers/ is not used anymore by
deskbar-applet, so installing pinot-live.py is superfluous.

It's been deprecated from the freedesktop.org specification:

 the pinot package is not affected by the additional python dependencies.

Done. I've called it deskbar-plugins-pinot (as there is already a
deskbar-plugins-strigi, for a similar project).

 You should consider using python-support or python-central to install
 (and precompile)
 /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible/pinot-module.py.

Done, thanks.
I've used python-support. Is there any difference between using the two

 The directory /usr/lib/deskbar-applet/handlers/ is not used anymore by

Using python-support or python-central is a matter of taste. Afaik
python-central is used more often in Ubuntu, python-support is more
common in Debian.

# apt-cache rdepends python-support | wc -l

# apt-cache rdepends python-central | wc -l

Both do their job. So if you used python-support before and you know it,
there is no reason to use python-central instead.

RFS: libphp-phplot (updated package, NMU)

2008-02-23 Thread DS
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 5.0.5-0.1
of package libphp-phplot.

Maintainer of this package is Jeremy T. Bouse [EMAIL PROTECTED], but
he seems to be MIA. I CC-ing this message to him so he can gets my
package as reference.

It builds these binary packages:
libphp-phplot - The graphic library for PHP

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 355680, 377372, 435176, 450253

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libphp-phplot
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libphp-phplot/libphp-phplot_5.0.5-0.1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards
 Denis Sirotkin

I'm not a python (packaging) expert, so I'd be happy if others will
correct me if I'm wrong, but if you use dh_pysupport (and not
dh_python), you can remove debian/pycompat. You can also remove
XS-Python-Version from debian/control [1].
Your Depends: line should have ${python:Depends} and ${misc:Depends} and
as the python files are in a non standard directory (see man
dh_pysupport), you should pass the directory to dh_pysupport. You will
notice, that dh_pysupport now creates proper postinst/prerm hooks.

I have a patch attached for that.

Cheers,
Michael

P.S.: After this final round I think the package is ready for
sponsoring, which I'll happily do.

I'll put your ad for Mvelopes.com - The Simpler, Smarter Budgeting System, on all 50,000 pages of my Alexa 19,000 marketing forum for free

2008-02-23 Thread Matt
Hi ,

It's Matt the owner of http://www.thefreeadforum.com

I saw that your site, Mvelopes.com - The Simpler, Smarter Budgeting System, is 
linking to
the Themillionaireleague.com site. 

I will put your put your 468 X 60 ad in rotation on the footer 
of my forum which includes 50,000 Google indexed pages,
,the index page and every single
post(100,000+). My site was Alexa 19,000 today.
I have over 50,000 marketers on the forum
and over 1000 new members join every week.
I spend $3000. per month with Google Adwords
promoting it.
It is PR 4 rankded by Google.

You WILL get traffic and sales. 
I have over 200k subscribers
in my newsletters.

I will also put your sales letter in my
autoresponder series which gets 300-500 subscribers
per day every day. You will get sales and
traffic forever with this.

What do you have to do? Put my link on
the index page of your site. You can
get linking and banner codes here:
http://www.thefreeadforum.com/linktous.html

In order for me to put your big 468 X 60 ad
on my super busy forum, targeted exactly to
your market (Internet Marketing), I need a real
link back to me on your homepage. Not some
link buried deep within your site.

You should also tell all your affiliates
about the forum because they should be
promoting Mvelopes.com - The Simpler, Smarter Budgeting System,  like crazy on 
the forum
to all the new marketers who join everyday.
Plus our posts get indexed all over the search
engines and Mvelopes.com - The Simpler, Smarter Budgeting Systemshould be
in our posts too. 

If you do not want to do this I have also
placed your ad and link in our link directory.

It is under Themillionaireleague.com
section of our site. You can check it out at:
http://www.thefreeadforum.com/partners/themillionaireleaguecom21.html

It says:



If you want us to keep this link back to you
in our link directory you can link back to us
from any of your pages. 

But if you want your ad on all pages of our
forum, including the index page, we need a
link back to us on your home page.

Let me know if the link is up and I will get
to work putting up yours and adding your
sales letter to my autoresponder series.
Just respond to this email.

If you do not want to hear from me again just
respond with delete in the subject of the email
and I will delete your site from the directory
and your info from my files.

Your link, Mvelopes.com - The Simpler, Smarter Budgeting System, will 
eventually be rotated off
the link directory if you do not choose to link back to me
on any of your pages.

If you have any other ideas about joint ventures let me know.

Thanks,

Matt

Thanks for the reply Michael. The bug was already closed by Ana at the time
of NMU. Does that mean I have to reopen it and then close it? Sorry if this
is a trivial question.

thanks

Sorry for the confusion, of course it has been closed already. So I think you
should mark it notfound in that version.

Best,
Michael
