Bug#274816: O: kdebindings -- The Qt Java UI Compiler
* Dominique Devriese [Mon, 04 Oct 2004 09:37:55 +0200]: Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the kdebindings package. It's a KDE upstream package containing lots of tools for programming KDE stuff in non-C++-languages. It's not that difficult a package, but pretty work-intensive, due to the frequent upstream changes, the cooperation with various scripting languages and the sometimes poor state of the upstream build system. Version 3.2 is currently in Debian, and should be packaged properly. The 3.3 version is almost done, and the new debian/ directory is in KDE upstream CVS. That version still needs some polishing though. The package has got few bug reports, probably because it hasn't got much users yet ;) I'm considering adopting the package if nobody more qualified steps in. currently, I'm about to prepare 3.3 packages to see if I'm ready. if you're thinking about adopting kdebindings, please get in touch. p.s.: Dominique, did you have somebody in mind? -- Adeodato Simó EM: asp16 [ykwim] alu.ua.es | PK: DA6AE621 Don't worry about what anybody else is going to do.

Bug#275017: RFP: amavisd-lite -- high performance, scalable mail filter for postfix
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: amavisd-lite Version : 1.2 Upstream Author : Justin Boswell [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.ultrazone.org/software/amavisd-lite/ * License : GPL Description : high performance, scalable mail filter for postfix amavisd-lite is a high performance, scalable mail filter for postfix that does virus scanning, spam scanning (SpamAssassin), attachment filename scanning, and per user whitelist/blacklists. It is designed for use by ISPs and large email hosting providers. It is a complete rewrite based on Mark Martinec's amavisd-new It is designed to be more lightweight, with faster transaction times and less memory footprint than amavisd-new, at the expense of a minor loss of some of amavisd-new's flexibility. amavisd-lite runs as an LMTP mail content filter. This allows it to accept messages rapidly in from postfix, and insures that messages are evaluated on a per-user basis, and that the MTA recieves a per-user status for each message. All settings for amavisd-lite are stored in SQL, making for quick and easy integration and administration. = Comment by package requestor: I am using amavisd-new (sid version, backported on a woody box) in a virtual UML server, and the memory usage is astronomic. It would really be nice if Debian had amavisd-lite packaged. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (100, 'unstable'), (9, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-rc3 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=ISO-8859-1 (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US)

Bug#272867: [Bug-gnulib] missing licenses in gnulib / m4
Paul Eggert wrote: For the m4 files, I propose to add the standard notice to them: dnl Copyright (C) YEARS Free Software Foundation, Inc. dnl This file is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU dnl General Public License. As a special exception to the GNU General dnl Public License, this file may be distributed as part of a program dnl that contains a configuration script generated by Autoconf, under dnl the same distribution terms as the rest of that program. For GPL'ed modules, I'd rather just use the GPL, as it's simpler and clearer. I don't see the point of having a special exception for the m4 files if the underlying code is GPLed. For LGPL'ed modules the situation is a bit murkier, and the above notice would be fine with me. Some m4 files are shared between GPLed and LGPLed packages, and it is frequent to copy m4 macros from one file to another (much more frequent than copying source code between .c files). For this reason, I think it would be best if all *.m4 files have the same copying conditions. The purpose of the special exception clause is so that also non-GPLed packages can use autoconfiguration. We want to encourage the use of configure scripts and of portable programs. I see this special exception clause mostly as a clarification: Since *.m4 files are never linked into executables or libraries, they could also be used in non-LGPLed packages. But if the license doesn't explicitly say so, the authors of such packages will be afraid to use it. Bruno

Bug#275092: RFA: xpilot -- Multi-player tactical game for X
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request an adopter for the xpilot package. I have put a fair amount of care into this package over the years, but no longer play the game, so it really deserves to be looked after by an active player of the game, or at least someone with an interest in XPilot development. I had always intended to package the de facto successor, so anyone interested in adopting this package should also look at this ITP (which I will shortly retitle to RFP): #141099: ITP: xpilot-ng -- XPilot game next generation I hope the new maintainer will either take on both packages, or at least do xpilot-ng. Development of the original xpilot.org version continues in a different direction, but since it seems to have stalled out, it appears that xpilot-ng is the XPilot of the future. So if NG goes into Debian, the original package could be removed, and therefore would only need occasional care in Debian stable until it is superceded by NG. The package description is: XPilot is a multi-player tactical manoeuvring game for X. Each player controls their own fighter equipped with a variety of weapons and power-ups. Players compete as teams or as individuals; the object of the game is to score points by blasting the opposition, stealing their treasure or by racing round a circuit. WARNING: This game is very addictive. . This package has been split into xpilot-client-common, xpilot-client-nosound, xpilot-client-nas, xpilot-client-rplay and xpilot-server. There is an additional package (xpilot-extra) containing various free maps and sounds as well as a useful utility program to interrogate the metaserver. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26-1-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C

But in principle, the stuff that is shared is either so large that it should be split off into a separate m4 file (with a more permissive license, if it needs to be shared among GPLed and LGPLed code) or so small that it's not really copyrightable. So I don't think this undermines the overall principle that GPLed modules should have GPLed m4 files. The purpose of the special exception clause is so that also non-GPLed packages can use autoconfiguration. Yes. However, that purpose doesn't apply to GPLed modules, as they can't be linked with non-GPLed packages. We want to encourage the use of configure scripts and of portable programs. That is an important goal, but (putting my RMS hat on :-) it is a secondary one for the GNU project. The main goal is freedom, not popularity. For example, the GNU project wants to encourage the use of GNU Emacs Lisp too; but Emacs's .el files are GPLed nonetheless. This is because, for .el files, the secondary goal of popularity doesn't outweigh the primary goal of keeping derivative works free. The question here is whether these m4 files are more like Emacs's .el files, or more like Autoconf's m4 files. It is not a trivial question: I don't see an easy decision either way. Being more conservative, I'd prefer to use the GPL if there's reasonable doubt, as we can always change it to a more-permissive license later. Another possibility is that we could ask RMS for his opinion. I see this special exception clause mostly as a clarification: Since *.m4 files are never linked into executables or libraries, they could also be used in non-LGPLed packages. But if the license doesn't explicitly say so, the authors of such packages will be afraid to use it. But for GPLed modules, this is intentional. We don't want people to use GPLed modules in non-GPLed applications.

No problem. I just wanted to make sure it is in sid. I have made uploads already for the source package that generates a binary package for ghc6. I have added all the hooks necessary for it to build ghc5 and also fixed some places in the source where it was incompatible with ghc5, but there is a bug relating to subdirectories in the ./setup build support for ghc5 that prevents that build from working. Also, I fixed postinst and prerm, modified the packages to put the libraries in the locations mandated by the Debian haskell policy (or as close as possible, at least), modified the build-deps and deps for same, added copyright text, etc. nhc98 support should also be fairly easily added, and Hugs too if the source is compatible with it. So let me know when you want to take it over. If the answer is now, please contact me for my diff.gz. (Actually, you'll probably want it anyway, since you probably want to commit those ghc5 fixes to your source tree at least). But I've got some more Debian stuff to contribute yet. If you (or someone) can fix the ghc5 issue, then we'll get at least a ghc5 lib out of it. I'm not sure it's ready to enter Debian yet... the interface isn't finalized, so I'd like to keep it out of testing. So far, it is likely to be used only as a Build-Dep in Debian, which means it's an internal problem for us to sort out (not bothering end users). But if it is kept out of testing, then there goes MissingH, Hunit, and HSQL -- unless those are all converted to using something else like hmake, which seems like a waste of time since the world is standardizing on Cabal. Interfaces have changed before. We can handle it. BTW, there's a tool for creating a skeleton Debian package from a cabal-ized package. See debianTemplate and dh_make. I saw that, though my .debs aren't building with it yet. I'm concerned that some of the files it is using (especially postinst/prerm) are buggy. I also wanted to wait until I have a generic infrastructure for building a library with all four compilers/interpreters in Debian first, then patch the template to support that. I'm close, but haven't tested it yet since I don't yet have any code that actually builds with all four compilers/interpreters in Debian... But I hope to have that all done in a day or two, time permitting. -- John
