RFS: qhimdtransfer - Transfer software for MiniDisc
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package qhimdtransfer. It is a software to transfer audio tracks to and from Sony HiMD and compatible walkman. To my current knowledge, it is the first software free software and first third-party software to be able to provide access to HiMD walkman. Getting this into Debian will allow alot of people to use their MiniDisc devices with Linux the first time with a native software. The functionality of the software is not yet completed, for example, transfers to the device are not yet possible and transfers from certain models only work with an additional secret key. The release of the keys are subject of current negotioations with Sony Corporation. If things work out well, we will be able to publish the keys as well to support all models. Please take also a look at our wiki: https://wiki.physik.fu-berlin.de/linux-minidisc/ You may also like to read the article on our project in Linux Journal, issue 185: http://users.physik.fu-berlin.de/~glaubitz/minidisclj.pdf * Package name: qhimdtransfer Version : 0.0.1-1 Upstream Author : Michael Karcher, Adrian Glaubitz and others * URL : https://wiki.physik.fu-berlin.de/linux-minidisc/ * License : GPL v2 Section : sound It builds these binary packages: qhimdtransfer - Qt-based transfer software for HiMD Walkman.

Doubt about bugs in medit
Dear mentors, I've submitted a ITA to the package medit, and started looking at its outstanding bugs. I found this #502487[1] and this #465429[2]. My question is, the first[1] one is already fixed on the current package, and the second one seems a bit more confuse and I'll try to explain: The reporter said that a lib (libmoo.so) should be present to make pida work with the mooedit, backend editor of medit and that pida can also use. But the released version of pida on the repositories doesn't support such feature yet, when he submitted the bug the version with moo support was in the svn. In summary, there is a bug already fixed and a bug that may be not a bug at all, how to proceed with the adoption?

It appears that you were attempting to report a bug, so what you want is the Debian bug tracking system; see http://bugs.debian.org/ for all the necessary information on submitting a bug. Then, if the maintainer fails to respond, other people can deal with the bug report as required. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I don't really care enough for uswsusp to give good advice, especially as I don't use uswsusp (anymore). Getting a newer version in and triaging/fixing already reported bugs is certainly not a bad idea, if you still think uswsusp is useful to you and others. Beware though, that this package will almost certainly not make it into squeeze anymore due to the freeze.

First, I would have appreciate if you had contacted me privately first. Second, I didn't fill a RFH or RFA because of that idea a lot of us have: next week I will be able to fulfill my plans and work on this or that. Not because I don't want people to work on that package. Finally, I do have plans for Wheezy, same I had for Lenny and Squeeze, and I do think there is a chance I will miss them again. When I first adopted it a few years ago, I started working upstream, that's why after several years webalizer got a new upstream, then Real Life (tm) kicked my ass and I couldn't promote the changes I wanted to the Debian package. So in case Felipe Augusto van de Wiel never answers, this is an Intent To Hijack ;) the webalizer package. You would find out that I'm rather active and replying rather quickly. le the upstream was inactive for several years there are new releases now. A bug about this is open [2] since July 2008. And does not show much recent interest from the maintainer. 2: http://bugs.debian.org/491200 I do have an updated version of the package that dates back of late 2008, which needs to be updated to be any useful. I feel what I'm currently doing is kind of rude, It is rude. however webalizer deserve a better packaging. That's also true. I'm running my personal server at home for several years now so I keeps the logs (Eben Molgen explained why this is important) but If you want to have a look at what's in your log, then webalizer already does a great job for you. I'm currently learning the debian work and find it particularly difficult to start during freeze time... I'm going to need mentors and sponsor for that. So I did sent copy of this email to mentors for wise advices and a few other people that have shown interest in the package, sorry if it bothers you guys. Webalizer package is not really easy to upgrade for somebody starting now because it requires some nitpicking to clean the old way of deal with things and migrate to the new upstream format. My plan is: - wait a little for response - prepare a new package of the new version using format 3.0 quilt - check all patch from previous debian package - check all patch on the bts - check all remaining bugs on the bts - fill an RFS I don't mind seeing you doing the work, but indeed I would prefer somebody more experienced. Anyway, I would even sponsor and guide you thru the process. I don't mind somebody else adopting it either. Right now I'm in the process of rearranging my time around Debian because of Release Team work, webalizer is one of the packages I like (even if I let it got in such bad state). :-( That's pretty much it. :) I'm aware that squeeze is frozen, so any package I could prepare would go to experimental. webalizer is not in testing, it can be uploaded to unstable, and then be made available thru backports.
