Hi, The last activity of the hercules maintainer in Debian is from May 2010, so I'm not sure if he is still active. What you could do is prepare an hercules upload as a (friendly) NMU, and then seek a sponsor for it. - Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

However, since it seems that Dropbox is unlikely to ever make it into the Debian archives if it still contained pre-compiled libraries, this was the only alternative I had. It looks like this won't work either, if Dropbox crashes and refuses to work properly. I'm now out of ideas; is there any other way of packaging Dropbox? Or should I simply give up on ever seeing Dropbox in the repositories again? Vincent

The only thing in the Dropbox package that is licensed under the GPL is my actual packaging (the contents of debian/), but I can also change this if necessary.

Re: Bug#585510: herculesstudio: changing back from ITP to RFP
Hi, Add CC to p2 and debian-mentors Actually all packaging work had already completed, I had sent RFS to debian-mentors too: http://lists.debian.org/debian-s390/2010/07/msg7.html But before herculesstudio can be used in Debian, hercules should be compiled with external gui support, I had reported a bug 585508 to ask the package owner to enable external gui support, but I got no response. I've pushed herculesstudio source to git repository: git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/herculesstudio.git and hercules with some improvement to git repository: git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/hercules.git If someone can sponsor this package or continue this work, I'll be very glade.

RFS: rsplib-2.7.10 (implementation of the IETF RSerPool framework and example applications)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package "rsplib". RSPLIB is the Open Source implementation (GPLv3) of the IETF's new framework for Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool), which is described in RFC 5351 to RFC 5356. If you a looking for a Grid compution solution which is simple, easy to setup and mostly self- configuring, you are probably looking for RSerPool! The RSerPool framework provides lightweight protocols and functionalities for the management of server pools and sessions between users and pools. In particular, RSerPool can be used for highly available applications and for load distribution and load balancing in server pools. Its API is simple to use and understand, making the development of own distributed applications very easy. Details on RSerPool and the RSPLIB implementation can be found on the project's website: http://tdrwww.iem.uni-due.de/dreibholz/rserpool/ . A detailed introduction to the IETF RSerPool framework and the RSPLIB implementation can be found in http://duepublico.uni-duisburg- essen.de/servlets/DerivateServlet/Derivate-16326/Dre2006-final.pdf . * Package name: rsplib Version : 2.7.10-1 Upstream Author : Thomas Dreibholz * URL : http://tdrwww.iem.uni-due.de/dreibholz/rserpool/ * License : GPL, version 3 Section : net It builds these binary packages: libcpprspserver-dev - headers of the C++ RSerPool client/server API library libcpprspserver2 - C++ RSerPool client/server API library librsplib-dev - headers of the RSerPool client/server API library rsplib librsplib2 - RSerPool client/server API library for load distribution and rsplib-fgp-cfgfiles - RSerPool Fractal Generator Service example input files rsplib-registrar - RSerPool Registrar service rsplib-services - RSerPool example services rsplib-tools - RSerPool test tools The package appears to be lintian clean.

Re: RFS: Dropbox
* Vincent Cheng , 2011-02-19, 02:24: Dropbox now depends on the following packages: python2.5, python-dbus, libbz2-1.0, libssl0.9.8, libdbus-1-3, libdbus-glib-1-2, libpng12-0, libpopt0, librsync1, libsqlite3-0, libssl0.9.8, libstdc++6, libwxbase2.8-dbg, python-wxgtk2.8, zlib1g, python-simplejson, python-netifaces (I've chosen python2.5 over python2.6/3.1 because python2.5 includes all the python-related libraries that Dropbox needs, whereas python2.6/3.1 only includes some.) You can't just replace a Python extension built for one Python version with another built for a different one; in generality, they are not binary-compatible.

It's GPL + OpenSSL that is a problem, since GPL required the combined work be available under the terms of the GPL and those are incompatible with one or two clauses in the OpenSSL license. LGPL makes fewer requirements on the programs that link with it with can be satisfied at the same time as the OpenSSL license. Basically, you have to take the minimum steps to allow your software to be linked against a compatible version of the LGPL code.

RFS: Dropbox
I've uploaded Dropbox again to Debian mentors; it includes several suggested fixes, and it's now one step closer to possibly being accepted into Debian. (This isn't my final upload though.) The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/d/dropbox - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/d/dropbox/dropbox_1.0.20-2.dsc Of the 52 libraries that was originally in the source tarball and in my first upload, only a few remain. I've managed to track down the origins of most of the libraries with apt-file, and instead of including those libraries in the source tarball, I've set those packages as build-depends and used dh_link to establish symlinks to Dropbox's directory. Dropbox now depends on the following packages: python2.5, python-dbus, libbz2-1.0, libssl0.9.8, libdbus-1-3, libdbus-glib-1-2, libpng12-0, libpopt0, librsync1, libsqlite3-0, libssl0.9.8, libstdc++6, libwxbase2.8-dbg, python-wxgtk2.8, zlib1g, python-simplejson, python-netifaces (I've chosen python2.5 over python2.6/3.1 because python2.5 includes all the python-related libraries that Dropbox needs, whereas python2.6/3.1 only includes some.) The following libraries/binaries are still present in the source tarball I've uploaded. - _librsync.so: not present in librsync1. apt-file says that it's included in the packages "rdiff-backup" and "duplicity", but I'm unsure if they are the same libraries. - dropbox: the actual dropbox binary - fastpath.so: I have no idea what this library is, or what purpose it serves. - ncrypt/*: ncrypt is not yet packaged for Debian. It seems that this package has already been requested in a RFP bug report for "python-ncrypt". (http://bugs.debian.org/528358) - netifaces/netifaces.pyc: this Python bytecode file doesn't seem to be in Debian's python-netifaces package. I've no idea whether or not this is needed, but I've included it at the moment for safe measure. Eventually, only "dropbox" will be left in the source tarball. I'll have to find some way between now and my next upload(s) to get rid of the remaining libraries. It looks like I may also have to package python-ncrypt; if nobody else is interested in this package, I'll look into it in the next few days and try to package it. Incidentally, does anyone know where I might possibly find the origin of "_librsync.so" or "fastpath.so"? To address a few of the questions/comments I've received over the past few days: - I don't know Dropbox's actual distribution license, which is why the license for the dropbox binary in debian/copyright only consists of "Copyright 2008-2011 Dropbox, Inc. All rights reserved." I've contacted upstream to try and find out where I can obtain the actual license for the distribution of Dropbox. - While I don't have the text of the distribution license, the previous Dropbox maintainer has given me a copy of an e-mail conversation he had with a Dropbox employee who granted him permission to distribute Dropbox in Debian. See /usr/share/doc/dropbox/dropbox.mbox. Kind regards, ~ Vincent Cheng

Good to know! I've made the changes requested-added python-qt4-dev to
build-depends and the manpages file and the section field in openteacher.1
has been updated. Do take a look and let me know any more changes that can
be made-will be more than willing to.

IMHO it cannot work as build-depends, because the build dependencies will
be tested at first step of packaging without any substitution.
