Err, no _good_ reason.  I guess I just have not figured out the best
procedure. My idea so far had been to try on debian-mentors and then
if that did not work out, on debian-science.  

For those of you just joining us, the request for sponsors salespitch

If you have not gotten a response, then you need to contact
[EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message-id of the request which you
sent which has not gotten a response within 24 hours of sending that
request. Complaining here about it isn't going to help you much.

2nd RFS/RFC vrr: dynamic vector graphics with TeX text

2008-03-23 Thread David Bremner
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "vrr".  This is my second
post, essentially unchanged.  Since last time I added icons and a
.desktop file.

* Package name: vrr
  Version : 0.9.4-1
  Upstream Author : VRR team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  URL : http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/projekty/vrr/
  License : GPL-2+
  Section : graphics
  Language/Libs   : C, Scheme, GTK+
  Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/pkg-science/vrr/
  Vcs-Browser: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-science/vrr

It builds these binary packages:
vrr- vector image editor with TeX support
vrr-doc- vector image editor with TeX support, documentation

 VRR is a vector image editor designed especially (but not only) for
 making illustrations of mathematical articles. Its main features are
 many types of geometric objects and keeping of their dependencies,
 cooperation with TeX, scripting in Scheme, real-size dimensions,
 support for a wide range of file formats (including PS, EPS, PDF, and
 SVG).

Why should this package be in Debian:

 VRR is somewhat similar to IPE, another drawing package already in
 Debian. Probably they both have advantages and disadvantages; one
 compelling feature of vrr that IPE does not have (as far as I know)
 is certain simple "dynamic geometry" features. You can compute the
 intersection of two b-splines (or line segments), move the control
 points of b-splines, and the intersection point moves.  Compared to
 something like kig, I think it has less powerful construction
 abilities, but has the important advantage that you can enter labels
 in TeX (in particular math). For mathematical diagrams destined for
 publication, this is really crucial.

The package is lintian -i -I clean, and builds in an sid (today) pbuilder.

The upload would fix these bugs: 448633

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vrr
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vrr/vrr_0.9.4-2.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me, or for any
comments on the packaging. You can see in debian/TODO, there are some
packaging issues I am aware of. The main ones are

  * currently ld flag --as-needed is used to work around the excessive
  libraries given by pkg-config. 
  * there is a fair sized doc package. I want to eventually make this
  a recommends, but since it contains the online help, this requires 
  a little gtk+ hacking to pop up a dialog when the doc
  package is not present.

Kind regards
 David Bremner

ELANG…

“send ” to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should do the job.  The
documentation is available in
/usr/share/doc/debian/bug-log-mailserver.txt; you can also send “help”
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to retrieve this file.

Another points, the /var/cache/urbanterror-data should be removed by the
postinst script. In the title of the progress bar, you should add the
word "UrbanTerror".

Yes, if I had an Internet connection @home OR the display of my TP570
would not be broken to type in commands in a Internet Cafe...

I was thinking on a E-Mail command to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Currently I am realy fscked...

(Since an Etch Upgrade for 3 weeks, I can not more use my "Nokia 6120
classic" to go into the internet ...  I is not even shown in "lsusb")

The problem is, that I wm working on "xmem" and need all he messages
from a specified old and open BUG which I wna to solv.

Note: I have gotten a contextless message on 2008-03-13 from the BTS to
  #357256 where I have no preceding messages.  And since I am the
  Maintainer...

  And yes, I was reading the instructions, HOW to use the BTS/PTS
  and its controll commands but have not found the right mail
  command to get the bugs send to me.

And last not least, I was trying to get a bugindex to  with

To:   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Body: index packages xmem

but it does not mather, WHICH  I use, I get nothing back. I have
already mailed the  and Don Armstrong has responded, but currently
I can not get anything... :-/
