Bug#196199: status?

2003-12-17 Thread sean finney
hey guys,

what's the status of the adoption?  i have a machine that i'd really like
to put something from the .8.x series and would love a debian package
of it (as opposed to *gasp* having to install from source:).

i see a lot of i'm going to take care of it type messages but no
packages being uploaded, so i'm curious if this is actively being worked
on, and/or if help is needed with the packaging process.

Bug#196199: Testing package

2003-12-17 Thread Thorsten Sauter

Hi all,

I'm working on it! :-)

I have a finished test package on gluck[1]. I will test the package on some
hosts today, and after this I will upload it.

If someone is willing to test the package...

Bye
Thorsten

hi thorsten,

 The only missing point is, that I have currently no upgrade path from
 the very old 0.6.x version.

there are instructions for upgrading on the raxnet website for this,
though i'm not sure if this was intended for 0.8x to 0.8y upgrades
or if this would work for going from 0.6x:

http://www.raxnet.net/products/cacti/documentation.php?action=viewid=7

 I think I will upload cacti in the next few days (2-3 days).

cool.  if you want, i have a machine running a 0.6 series version that
it doesn't matter if the cacti database gets hosed on, i can experiment
with it and let you know about the upgrade path, maybe throw in some
config if it's necessary.  could you give me a link to the package
sources?

 (Incidentally, its (ex-)maintainer Charles Briscoe-Smith is utterly MIA

 he reappears.  I wish there was a good way to see the list of all Debian

I sent a mail to the last DD who made the ITA, asking if he was still
willing to make the package. Still no response for now. I'll take over
the package or make an NMU, or help him in the packaging.

I sent a mail to the upstream author of the game. He gave me more
informations on the copyright problems. The proposed solution is to make
a debian specific release, with all copyrighted materials removed.

I suppose that no one is working on it. Some guys claim I want to adopt
it but no work was done. If no upload is done since the beginning of
the next year, I think I will take the package again. I like cacti and I
don't want it to be removed from debian.

  Description : D-Day Normandy, the original Quake2 WWII modification of 
First Person Shooters.

In an attempt to recreate one of the most pivotal operations in World War II,
D-Day: Normandy pits Axis versus Allied forces against each other during the 
Normandy Campaign. Starting with Operation Overlord,soldiers must storm the 
scarred sands of Omaha Beach in order to gain a foothold into future land 
invasions.D-Day: Normandy's campaign system allows teams to actually gain or
lose territory by advancing the players back and forth between maps (depending
on which team wins the battle). In this way, players are able to relivethe 
battles from history while learning the importance of territorial control and
strategy.

I am not sure. I'll take a look.

Certainly. I attented the Linux Bangalore 2003 conference and the IndLinux
project (http://www.indlinux.org) seems to be coming along pretty well.
They're based on Morphix. Getting all the packages into Debian can be only a
good thing.

The binary package will be named python-clientcookie, python2.3-clientcookie
etc. I like to retain the upstream source package name. I already do this
for two of my python packages - see python-fixedpoint and python-ctypes 
packages.
