Bug#96759: acknowledged by developer (unpackageable)

I have tried to contact upstream about license changes; 
without response so far, as far as I can remember.

Less obsolete than xipmsg...

Considering it's abandoned upstream, it's been orphaned for over 6
months and apparently there are no specific features not present in other
MUA, I'd vote to remove it now.

I figured that out too, after sending my mail. So indeed I guess not.

I was just going through somewhat old (well, not that old, but still) wnpp
bugs, checking for orphaned packages which appeared to not be developed
upstream anymore too.

I'll leave it as it is, but I suppose if noone has taken over it might be
enough a reason to remove it after next stable release. (Also considering
it's GTK+/GNOME 1 based...)

  Description  : extensible audio/video container format

 Matroska is a cross-platform multimedia container format for audio and video
 data, and aims to become the standard of multimedia container formats. It
 has support for menus (like DVDs), subtitles, seeking, error recovery and
 streaming (over the Internet or on a LAN).
 
Note: the Matroska software is still under development, and only provides a
demuxer library. I am packaging this because some media players can already
be compiled with support for Matroska files. The binary package will be
called libmatroska-dev and will contain .a and _pic.a libraries, because
upstream foresees many API/ABI changes before a shared library can be
released.

Well, apparently the "Debian QA Group" managed to build it, so perhaps
it's not that bad, and I've kept its gmime 0.6 dependency in the
archive. But anyway, no, I don't really mind, if people think that's the
best thing to do. It's certainly not going to be useful for me if it's
dead upstream.

But if gmail is removed, then there's no reason for that old gmime 0.6
(now in libgmime0 and libgmime0-dev) to stay in the archive, perhaps
that should be removed too then.

I guess not.

Yes. I'm currently playing with the idea of concentrating my efforts about
rfc to this script, and let the existing doc-rfc packages as they are.

Current version do cache the rfc index (400k over RTC hurts), but afaik, not
the RFC themselves. I guess it should go somewhere under /var, with a group
of users allowed to write them in. Using the RFC when they are installed
from the giant packages is not an issue.

Anyway, the bugs I wanted to get fixed did get fixed (beside the description
clarification, but I keep optimistic). The sad side is that I did a lot of
stuff for nothing, but who knows, I may also convice Kai to rethink his
package split, and cleanup its build process so that it does not produce
tons of warnings...

Thanks for the reminder. Jfs did also explain it to me, but now, I do have
contacted upstream to ask for a relicencing...


Thanks a lot, Mt.

Bug#200025: ITP: libcddb -- C library to access data on a CDDB server

[Chris Butler]

Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-04
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: libcddb
  Version : 0.9.4
  Upstream Author : Kris Verbeeck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://libcddb.sourceforge.net/
* License : LGPL
  Description : C library to access data on a CDDB server

 It allows you to:
 .
  * search the database for possible CD matches;
  * retrieve detailed information about a specific CD;
  * submit new CD entries to the database.
 .
 Libcddb supports both the custom CDDB protocol and tunnelling the query and
 read operations over plain HTTP. It is also possible to use an HTTP proxy
 server. If you want to speed things up, you can make use of the built-in
 caching facility provided by the library.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

* Package name: earlybird
  Version : 2.6 (3.0 soon to be released)
  Upstream Author : Jay D. Dyson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://treachery.net/~jdyson/earlybird/
* License : GPL
  Description : Realtime HTTP worm intrusion attempt notification tool

Early Bird is a realtime HTTP worm intrusion attempt reporting utility.
Originally written to combat only Code Red, Early Bird originally
functioned simply as a decoy by living under the name of 'default.ida'.
Over time, Early Bird was altered to handle other worm attack
signatures.  When the HTTP worm attempts to exploit a known buffer
overflow (usually in IIS), Early Bird captures the attacking IP, the
request string sent, and composes an email to the offending network
contact to alert them to their problem.

(taken from the earlybird FAQ)

IANADD - but if I ever get some more free time, this would be candidate
for a first package, I think.

Bug#76572: licence issue

[Filip Van Raemdonck]

I should point out that at least 3a of the licence as sent to this ITP, is
_NOT_ DFSG free.
This isn't a real issue as currently mahogany appears to be GPL
dual-licensed, but whoever packages this should make sure to record that
Debian can only (re)distribute it under the terms of the GPL because of
this. Note also that this has repercussions as to feeding back
modifications into the upstream package etc.


Regards,

Filip

Bug#170637: gmail

[Filip Van Raemdonck]

Hi,

Regarding you orphaning gmail: I've checked and it appears _really_ dead
upstream, even it's website is gone.
Considering that the main feature are probably vfolders, and other MUAs
have that too now; that you say yourself it doesn't even build anymore,
and the deadness of it, would you mind if I filed a bug request to remove
it from the archives?
It won't be gone for people who have it installed, and the last packaged
version will still be available from snapshot.debian.net. But it doesn't
seem likely it'll ever be resurrected again anyway.


Regards,

Filip

Bug#199543: O: abuse -- Crack dot Com's Abuse action game

[Sam Hocevar]

   I am interested in maintaining abuse. I have good experience in games
and I think I'll manage to port it to non-8bpp displays. I will first
have a look at the bugs before renaming O: to ITA:, so if someone more
interested wants it in the meantime, ask me for my current patches.
