Bug#282639: ITP: lavaps-tcl -- a lava lamp of currently running processes (TCL/TK version)

[Tommi Virtanen]

lavaps is already part of the Debian archive.  In a wishlist bug report

All the information relating to the new package is the same as the

Does that really require a new source package? If not, there's
no need for ITPs and such, just add a new binary to the same source
package.

Bug#220037: RFS: daapd - a music server for the Apple DAA protocol

[Michael A. Dickerson]

Hello, I have packaged daapd, a daemon that scans a directory of mp3 files
and shares them on the local network via the Apple DAA protocol.  Together
with mdnsresponder (a Depends:) this makes your library available to
iTunes.  You can also do fun tricks like forward the daapd ports over ssh
and get access to your music remotely.  This would close an RFP from
Roderick Schertler, more than a year ago (see bug #220037).

Package name: daapd
Version : 0.2.3d
Upstream Author : Alexander Oberdrster 
URL : http://www.deleet.de/projekte/daap/daapd/
License : GPL
Description : share mp3 files via DAAP, as used by iTunes

The package files are at: http://www.dci.pomona.edu/debs/

They are signed, and lintian- and linda-approved.  I have maintained a
couple of smart card driver packages (asedriveiiie) for a while and my
sponsor there was very helpful and thorough in inspecting those packages,
so hopefully my daapd package is decent.

Thanks..
M.D.

  Description : base package for childsplay, a suite of educational games 
for children.

Childsplay is a 'suite' of educational games for young children. It's 
written in Python and uses the SDL-libraries to make it more games-like 
then, for instance, gcompris. The aim is to be educational and at the 
same time be fun to play.

I'm collecting a few hints and patches in BTS, as well as contacting 
reports for clarifications and information. I could upload
a new version with some fixes in the meantime. 
If you agree, I could upload a NMU quite soon to fix a few urgencies.

I'm quite confident to squash the remaining serious bugs in a few days,
but at least one point requires a precise choice from the proper
maintainer, i.e. adding or not debconf support to manage ldap/nis maps
or not. A partial solution is a better documentation for some 
obscure aspects of remote maps. 

If you are seriously interested in maintainership I could
set the new Maintainer field, else I would use the QA contact.

Eventually we could consider co-maint. I use autofs in NIS environment,
so I could work better on some aspects.

> BTW, is the package formally orphaned, or should I just do NMUs?

Or storebackup?

(Actually, storebackup's one-line description doesn't really hint at
this functionality. But I'm using it to create daily snapshots of remote
servers over smbfs and nfs, using hard links to conserve space. It
offers sliding window; you can tell it to keep a month of backups, and
then weekly after that for 6 months, then monthly etc.)

Written in Perl, fwiw (not much I hope).

One may want to use tools written in a language they know, so that if
something breaks, it may be easier to fix it.

I, for one, do this kind of reasoning, and don't feel much comfortable
in running things written in languages I don't know (yet).

This one does indeed seem to fill the niche for which I had turned to
glastree.

I must admit that I would have benefited from a more thorough Debian
reference on available backup alternatives. Not that I have the
knowledge to make one myself, but hey.

With so many other alternatives, should I simply close my ITP bug, or
should I proceed with providing the package?

Good point. Size may not be the issue. But simplicity in manually
installing on a machine without an internet connection could make a Perl
alternative beneficial.

Sounds like you need to expand your repertoire a bit.  I learnt Perl for
exactly this reason -- I wanted to modify debconf, so I learnt (enough of)
the language to do so.  I didn't feel a need to reimplement it in a language
I was familiar with first just so I could make my modifications.

Can you imagine a world in which your argument was taken at face value? 
There would be a reimplementation of basically everything in every language
under the sun, just so that some random person could avoid learning a new
language.  Ghods what a hideous mess that would be.

How is that an advantage of use?


We're talking about free software. Modifying it to fit your needs is a 
perfectly valid, indeed encouraged use. Personally, I know perl, but not 
ruby.

Bug#284005: ITP: newlib -- a simple ANSI C library and math library

[Thaddeus H. Black]

It looks like an interesting package,
Shaun---potentially an important package.

Do not feel that newlib is being challenged if I
ask, have you noticed libuclibc0 (Source:
uclibc), already in the archive?

[Peter Eisentraut]

I'm building a rekall package now and will upload it to experimental in 
the next few days unless someone objects.

Possibly so, but unfortunately my time is a finite. There are far too 
many languages (even in debian main) for me to learn them all.

Sounds like ftp.debian.org.

I finally merged the package in the archive, with the last one you did, and 
with my previous work.

It's available at:

http://darkshines.net/debian/dists/unstable/kxmleditor/

Since I suppose no one of you is interested in it, I will look for an sponsor 
myself, and stop boring you with this. ;-)
However, if you are, please drop me a line.

Greetings.

Bug#284005: Already there

[Seo Sanghyeon]

Are you aware of "toolchain-source-newlib"?

Considering that newlib is targetted to embedded systems, what is the
advantage of having binary compiled version of newlib while there is
already a package of newlib source integrating with toolchain-source?
