Bug#96267: wnpp: ITA: screen
Package: wnpp Version: N/A Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org I plan on adopting the ill maintained screen package. It currently has ~50 open bugs, many of which are fixed by the new upstream version (3.9.8) which has been out since September of 2000. I emailed the maintainer about adopting the package on Feb 21st and have not received a reply. I am currently not a Debian developer, but Eric Gillespie, Jr. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has agreed to advocate and sponsor me. I have preliminary packages rolled, and anticipate having a finished updated version of 3.9.8 this weekend. -- Adam Lazur, Cluster Monkey 5FE0 559F 37E9 B8BB 8354 B5BF B70C 7A33 F7E9 0FF1

Bug#95870: ardour & quasimodo debian packages
>I think getting ardour into Sid could benefit the project in the sense that it >opens the code to a larger audience and speed up tracking bugs (after all, >that's all about what Open Source is). at this time, i sincerely doubt that. the CVS log for the last 2 days records 2000+ lines of changed code. debian packaging is cool, but its not targetted at the actual development of a rapidly changing system. thats what CVS is for. in addition, its not easy to define what "the package" is here. the program "ardour" is really just a symlink to another program called "aes" that causes aes to dynamically load a shared object. in addition, there are 6 of my own libraries that have to be installed, but are not specific to ardour or aes (i have several other applications that use them). these libraries are also undergoing development, some very rapid, some are now fairly stable. >Your program would stay in Sid until it >gets stable and thereby benefit the contribution of a large community of >developpers. I think it would be appropriate to put it into Sid at the point where I start to release tarballs. Doing so before then just opens me to up to Debian users saying "I found this problem with the debian package X.Y.Z", when I've already changed 5000 lines of code since then. Its just not a situation I want to be in (or put them in). I don't know if you've read the ardour-dev archives; there are people (reasonably skilled programmers) who tried to get ardour to run on their machine for 2 days and never succeeded. the precise version of libxml, whether the package of Gtk-- they use is broken or not (several of them are), the version of Guile their system has installed, which compiler version, and so on and so forth. These are all important things to fix, but its definitely not my focus at this time. Getting the full functionality of the program is; since I know that I can compile it, and I know of several others who can, thats enough for now. >Since Debian has really strict quality policy, your code wouldn't be >allowed to enter 'unstable' version anyway until it's mostly >bug-free. heh. that will be interesting to establish for a program of this complexity. --p

Your program would stay in Sid until it gets stable and thereby benefit the contribution of a large community of developpers. Since Debian has really strict quality policy, your code wouldn't be allowed to enter 'unstable' version anyway until it's mostly bug-free. Cheers. -- Eric VAN BUGGENHAUT [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#75400: bcast-2000 debian package
De ce que je vois tu parles français, non ? Bon, au cas où, je continue en anglais. Apparently there are 2 persons who posted ITP's and efforts are forked : Samuel Hocevar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Guenter Geiger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Did you get in touch with each other ? I know people who are waiting for this package. Seems to me that leaving an ITP for 6 months is quite long, since it keeps other developpers from working on the package. What are your plans ? There's no shame in giving the package over. We can also work together if you want, since I'm much interested in this program. Do you have pre-packages publicly available so I can look at them ?

Bug#91773: Request for Packaging [Debian]: ViPEC. License problems.
Hello Mr. Rossouw, Peter, I'm an electrical engineer, so I got a bit interested in ViPEC. However, a preliminar analysis shows a possible problem with the ViPEC licensing, or at the very least a problem with how this licensing is understood by the ViPEC developers. The sourceforge webpage, http://vipec.sourceforge.net, displays blatant contraditory information in the licensing topic. More specifically, it says ViPEC is distributed under the GNU GPL license, but adds "This means that the source code is available to all, and that you are free to make changes as you wish. Under no circumstances are you allowed to charge money for this software, or for any modified version of it." This is false. The GNU GPL specifically allows one to sell copies of the software, for whatever value they want. It, however, states that should someone (anyone) request a copy of the program source, it must be provided. Please clarify this issue with the core ViPEC developers (the owners of the copyright on the ViPEC source), and correct the misinformation in the sourceforge page. As it stands, one cannot be sure if the software is being distributed under the GNU GPL (which is welcome in Debian) or under a modified version of it that forbids charging money for the distribution of copies (which would disqualify ViPEC as free software according to the Debian Free Software Guidelines). Regardless of which is the intented meaning, the license distributed inside the ViPEC software package, and the one displayed in its official documentation and support site should be the same. As a Debian developer, I urge you to stick to the common text of the GPL; Otherwise, it creates problems for CDROM integrators... and we won't be able to include it in Debian. PS: I have not made up my mind yet whether I'm the best person to package ViPEC or not, but the above issue must be clarified before any Debian developer can package it for Debian, anyway. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
