libferris is a virtual filesystem that exposes hierarchical data of all
kinds through a common C++ interface. Access to data is performed using
C++ IOStreams and Extended Attributes (EA) can be attached to each datum
to present metadata. Ferris uses a plugin API to read various data
sources and expose them as contexts and to generate interesting EA.
Current implementations include Native (kernel disk IO with event
updates using fam), xml (mount an xml file as a filesystem), edb (mount
a berkeley database), ffilter (mount an LDAP filter string) and mbox
(mount your mailbox). EA generators include image, audio, and animation
decoders.

Description: Polytechnique Montreal Modula-3
 The Modula-3 distribution of Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal is based
 on the DEC SRC Modula-3 programming environment.
 .
 Modula-3 is a systems programming language that descends from Mesa,
 Modula-2, Cedar, and Modula-2+. It also resembles its cousins Object
 Pascal, Oberon, and Euclid.
 .
 The goal of Modula-3 is to be as simple and safe as it can be while
 meeting the needs of modern systems programmers. Instead of exploring new
 features, they studied the features of the Modula family of languages
 that have proven themselves in practice and tried to simplify them into
 a harmonious language. They found that most of the successful features
 were aimed at one of two main goals: greater robustness, and a simpler,
 more systematic type system.
 .
 Modula-3 retains one of Modula-2's most successful features, the
 provision for explicit interfaces between modules. It adds objects and
 classes, exception handling, garbage collection, lightweight processes
 (or threads), and the isolation of unsafe features.
 .
 A large number of platform independent libraries are available for easily
 constructing distributed, graphical, multi-threaded applications.

The package ships with a basic database which is free as well. The database
format is documented, you don't have to use their database, you can create
your own.

I don't think it is necessary (see above). The package is really useful and
since there's no requirement on the origin of the database, I think it can
go to main without any problems.

   Speakup allows you to navigate around the screen using the typical
   screen review functions such as say word, say line, announce cursor
   position, which console your currently on, and much, much more. It
   also allows one to load in configuration parameters for controlling
   various aspects of the synthesizer you are using, as well as speakup
   itself.

   Currently, the following synthesizers are supported by speakup:
 * DoubleTalk PC/LT
 * LiteTalk
 * Accent PC/SA
 * Speakout
 * Artic Transport
 * Audapter
 * Braille 'N Speak / Type 'N Speak
 * Dectalk External and Express
 * the Apollo2

So ideally, we're looking for some person who owns one device from
that list, because speakup can currently not be used without special
hardware.  Maybe just producing a kernel-patch-speakup package and
looking if users have problems is enough, but from first glance, the
speakup install-process is very different from what a kernel patch
normally does (at least to me), so it may be a substantial piece of work.

Yeah, that is what I would be using too, if I get around to it before
you do.

Hi

I was about to ITP mod frontpage when I noticed your ITP.
What is the status?

I have found really nice mod_frontpage modules at
* http://sourceforge.net/projects/mirfak/

They are improved versions with a bit better security. I'm
figuring out how to build it all. I'll probably be complete
with this on monday. Now it is weekend and I'm going home.

Look forward to hear from you.

I'm very interested in getting this in Debian. :)

Regards,

Bug#169208: ITP: nsd -- authoritative only, high performance, simple and open source name server.

[Ondrej Sury]

Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2002-11-15
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: nsd
  Version : 1.0.2b1
  Upstream Author : NLnet Labs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://www.nlnetlabs.nl/nsd/
* License : BSD
  Description : NSD is an authoritative only, high performance, simple and 
open source name server.

NSD is a complete implementation of an authoritative DNS nameserver.

$Id: REQUIREMENTS,v 1.10 2002/09/09 10:59:15 alexis Exp $


NSD Requirements and Specifications
__

A. Scope.

nsd is a complete implementation of an authoritative DNS
nameserver. This document describes the basic requirements and
specifications for this implementation.

B. Requirements

B.1. General Requirements 

These requirements are in order of importance:

1. Conformity to the relevant DNS RFCs

   If complying with the letter of the RFCs will cause a conflict with
   high load resilience reasoned trade-offs will be made and
   documented.

2 Code diversity from other implementations

   NSD is developed from scratch and does not share code or design
   with other implementations.

3. Authoritative server only

   nsd is designed to provide authoritative answers only.  There are
   no facilities for caching or recursion.

4. Open source
   The code will be open source after the first public release.

5. Regression tested against bind8/9

   Extensive regression tests with real trace data and synthetic
   exceptional data will be carried out. For the real traces any
   differences with bind8/9 will be documented. Should there be
   substantial differences a bind8/9 compatibility option will be
   considered. The testing tools will be published separately as much
   as possible.

6. Resilience to high load

   As many as UDP queries answered as possible per time interval.
   Aware of useless queries and limiting answers to conserve output
   bandwidth. This may supersede strict RFC compliance.  Mitigation of
   DDoS attacks as far as feasible.

7. Documentation

   The implementation will be well documented with the aim of allowing
   others to understand its operation in order to be able to maintain
   the code. This includes these requirements, a general design
   document and well documented code.

8. Reviewed code
   
   All code will be reviewed by at least two persons other than the
   primary author before being included in a release version.

9. Simplicity

   nsd will not do things that are not strictly necessary for its
   task: authoritative name serving. If in doubt a feature is more
   likely not to be included.

   The code strives to be as simple and straightforward as possible,
   even if it looks stupid ;-).

10. Reasonable Portability

   Should be reasonably portable across hardware architectures and OS
   platforms.  Rough targets:
   (Intel/SPARC/Alpha)(FreeBSD,Linux,Solaris)

11. maintenance for initial period

   NLnet Labs and the RIPE NCC will support NSD for at least 12
   months after publication.


B.2. Explicit NON-Requirements

1. No caching

   nsd will not provide cached or recursive answers.

2. No slavish responsiveness

   nsd may decide to limit answers to queries it considers malicious
   or useless if this enables it to provide better service to queries
   it considers valid. Conserving output bandwidth is a consideration.

3. No end-user friendliness

  nsd operators are considered to have basic Unix and networking
  knowledge and are also considered to be able to read and understand
  reasonably written user documentation.

4. No creeping featurism

   nsd will not implement any functionality that is not strictly
   necessary for the task of authoritative name serving.  Examples:
   round robin sequence of RRset members in consecutive answers,

Bug#152306: ITP: libdbi-ruby -- Database Independent Interface for Ruby

[Dmitry Borodaenko]

I have updated libdbi-ruby and libdbd-pg-ruby on my home page[1] with
versions which are, in my opinion, suitable for upload. If over this
weekend no problems with these packages will surface, I will upload them
on Monday.

-[ README.Debian

Ruby/DBI for Debian
---

Ruby/DBI source includes drivers for following databases: ADO (ActiveX
Data Objects), DB2, InterBase, mSQL, MySQL, ODBC, Oracle, PostgreSQL,
Proxy/Server, SQLite, SQLRelay, Sybase (outdated and doesn't work).

Currently, only PostgreSQL driver is packaged, because I have neither
ability nor time to package and test properly all other drivers.
Everyone interested in getting other Ruby/DBI drivers into Debian are
welcome to coordinate with me and subscribe to the libdbi-ruby package
on the PTS (http://packages.qa.debian.org/libd/libdbi-ruby.html),
collaborative maintenance is also an option.

When filing ITPs, please fill in as many of the above fields as
possible.

It would be good to know the license, in particular.

This would have been a good idea, I admit. I had initially planned on
writing a brief summary of the licence, but for some reason never got
around to including it in the ITP.

Which of the many Python licenses that have been used over the years
