I personally would not sponsor it with that name.

I personally wouldn't consider sponsoring something that only does the
non-standard protocol used by Samsung. If it also supported the USB
DFU protocol it might be worth considering.

RFS: cl-launch, cl-asdf (updated packages)

2011-09-29 Thread Faré 
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for
the new version 3.013-1 of my package "cl-launch".

It builds this binary package:
cl-launch  - uniform frontend to running Common Lisp code from the shell

The packages appear to be lintian clean.
I also checked that I could use dpkg-source -b,
and so it hopefully fixes bug#643080.

The package cl-launch can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cl-launch
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/cl-launch/cl-launch_3.011-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded these packages for me.

Kind regards,

RFS: yorick (new version, add dbg package)

2011-09-29 Thread Thibaut Paumard 
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "yorick".

I have maintained the Yorick packages for over 5 years. The package has
the DM-Upload-Allowed field set. I need a sponsor to upload this
revision because it introduces a new binary package: yorick-dbg. It is
very useful to have debugging symbols in the yorick executable when
debugging a Yorick plug-in, which up to know required recompiling Yorick
from source. The upload also make a couple of minor changes.

 * Package name: yorick
   Version : 2.2.01+dfsg-2
   Upstream Author : David Munro
 * URL : http://yorick.sourceforge.net
 * License : BSD
   Section : science

It builds those binary packages:

yorick - interpreted language and scientific graphics
 yorick-data - interpreted library for the Yorick language
 yorick-dbg - debugging symbols for Yorick
 yorick-dev - development files for the Yorick interpreted language
 yorick-doc - documentation for the Yorick interpreted language
 yorick-mpy-common - Message Passing Yorick (common files)
 yorick-mpy-mpich2 - Message Passing Yorick (MPICH2 build)
 yorick-mpy-openmpi - Message Passing Yorick (OpenMPI build)

To access further information about this package, please visit the following

Hi,

I am the creator and main developer of OpenSearchServer, an open source search 
engine hosted at SourceForge.

Because a large part of our community is using the Debian distribution, I think 
it would be great to have it embedded in the Debian distribution.

OpenSearchServer is hosted at SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensearchserve/

The application works with TOMCAT6 and any  JAVA 5 or JAVA 6 virtual machine.  
I did my best to fit well with the Tomcat6 package.
I think a good sponsor will be someone who is comfortable with JAVA/TOMCAT 
environment.

Here are the information needed, copy of the current control file:

My dev system is Debian Stable, but I use pbuilder for at least
binary builds and LXC (Linux Container) systems for development and
testing as needed...

I personally prefer VirtualBox, as I find it's easy to install and 
configure compared with other options. Most virtualisation options have 
a free version though, so you can try a few and see which one suits you 
best.

Whatever hypervisor you like, it doesn't mater much.
If you do Desktop development, then Virtualbox is
quite convenient (especially mouse pointer handling),
but if you do server oriented things, then Xen or KVM
might be good too. All of these have a kind of snapshot
functionality.

I appreciate your efforts and I like the idea of reportbug integration.
I won't comment about the patch itself, I am not maintaining the
reportbug package, so I can't judge.

However please note, mentors.debian.NET is not an official Debian
project. The ".net" indicates a subtle difference. While some people,
including Don, agreed in eventually having a debian-mentors pseudo
package that would be associated with the debian-mentors mailing list,
not with mentors.debian.net (i.e. Debexpo, the sofware running there).

Hence I don't think any tight mentors.d.n integration of reportbug would
be appropriate for the time being. Also I am not particularly convinced
on the way you do it (content scraping). If you want, I will gratefully
merge a SOAP interface into Debexpo you could query though.

I run sid in Virtualbox. I use snapshots to keep track of a "clean"

All package uploads go into unstable (Sid), so all new packaging
development should also be done on Sid.  You might wish to look into
pbuilder, cowbuilder, or a simple dev chroot made with [c]debootstrap.


Or could you run Sid in a virtual machine, that way you know you have a
