I suggest:
"It queries the online Package Index server to retrieve information
about the available packages."

Like for stdeb (see #564562), I suggest to add a notice in the
description that the recommended way to install python module is to use
a Debian package.

Bug#564575: RFP: Flinks -- a text-mode flashing word webbrowser, intended for speed-reading and/or skimming

[Fyodor Vassiley]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Package name: flinks
Version: 0.3
Author: Martin Bays (mb...@sdf.lonestar.org)
Project URL: http://mbays.freeshell.org/flinks/
License: GPLv3
Description:

Flinks is a text-mode flashing word web browser. It is intended for
speed-reading and/or skimming webpages and text.

Written in Python using ncurses for display and requiring lynx for
rendering. Should run without trouble on any unix-like system, and
with some trouble on other systems. Runs happily on very small
terminals, so ought to work well on hand-helds, or even eye-glass
displays... I would be very interested to see this done.

Bug#380461: Httpfs updated

[Michal Suchanek]

Hello,

I uploaded a new httpfs tarball at sf.net.

It includes the Debian packaging files but it currently does not build
because there is a problem with asciidoc ( #564579 ).

I also plan to drop the ssl version until I have proper server
validation and I am sure I have a ssl library that can be linked with
the code - lintian warns about GPL + openssl issue.

Thanks

Michal

mathgl is a Dependency of udav. Thus I'm interested to keep matgl, and
I would adopt it. But if there is some other interested too, I would
also help comaintain it, or if there is a scientific team which want
tp maintain it under their umbrella its fine to me too, or
collab-maint. I'm Cc'in the debian-science list.

Bug#533450: stepping back

[Holger Levsen]

Hi,

unfortunatly the psb xorg driver doesnt work with my poulsbo chipset, I always 
get the errors as described in 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=533450#115 - I've tried the 
mandrake 2010 live-cd yesterday and exactly the same problem. 

The only way I could get the graphic card to work with performance is with the 
even less free iegd driver from intel, so this is what I will be using in the 
near future, while I'm waiting for a newer (and working for me) version of 
the psb driver. 

And until this is there, I dont have interest in packaging psb, sorry. 

If someone comes up with suitable packages for Debian sid, I'd be willing to 
sponsor them, though.


cheers,
Holger

Bug#564600: ITP: bup -- Backup program using rolling checksums

[Khadeeja Q.]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name : bup
* Version: 0.03
* Upstream Author  : Avery Pennarun 
* License   : GPL-3+
* Programming Language: Python

bup is a program that backs things up. It uses a rolling checksum
algorithm (similar to rsync) to split large files into chunks. The
most useful result of this is you can backup huge virtual machine (VM)
disk images, databases, and XML files incrementally, even though
they're typically all in one huge file, and not use tons of disk space
for multiple versions.

Test::TCP is a Perl test framework for TCP/IP programs, especially those

Bug#533293: NOT packaging libnet-packet-perl

[Jonathan Yu]

tags 533293 + wontfix
thanks

Hi:

I'm NOT packaging libnet-packet-perl at this time and tagging this bug
as "wontfix" because there are lots of warnings during build
indicating that this module is no longer supported, instead in favour
of the Net::Frame module by the same author. Instead, I'll be filing
an ITP to package *that* module over the next few days.

My apologies for not noticing this earlier. You should be able to
accomplish the same things with Net::Frame; as I understand it, the
author intends to promote use of this new module:

>From Net::Packet's build log--

*** Net::Packet is obsolete, you will receive no support.
*** Now use Net::Frame::* modules.

>From the description of Net::Frame--

Net::Frame is a fork of Net::Packet. The goal here was to greatly
simplify the use of the frame crafting framework. Net::Packet does
many things undercover, and it was difficult to document all the
thingies.

Bug#532121: python-crypto -- Bug #561306

[Andreas Rottmann]

Hi!

As you were interested in taking over as Debian maintainer of
python-crypto, I thought I'd notify you about python-crypto 2.1.0 has
been released and a "please package this version" bug has been filed on
the Debian package:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=561306

You may very well be aware of all that, if you subscribed to the package
tracking system for python-crypto -- sorry if that's all old news to
you.

So, are you still interested in taking over maintainership? If so, it
would be cool if you'd give packaging 2.1.0 a try.

Bug#457075: Salomé packaging

[Adam C Powell IV]

Greetings,

For those interested, I'm re-doing the Salomé .deb I started three years
ago.  Salomé is a finite element pre-post processing framework, with a
lot of other things in there as well.

Though some things have improved between version 3.2.6 and 5.1.3, many
have not, so although this likely won't take 100+ hours like the last
one did, it's taking more effort than I can give to it.  I've got five
modules configuring, compiling and installing, but will not be able to
work on it for the next couple of weeks.

Among other things, it needs major updates for modern compilers,
for OpenMPI, and for new versions of other packages.  It amazes me that
upstream can get it to build at all, but then, they seem to only build
to certain particular narrow (and old) platforms/targets, and don't
accept outside patches (never looked at the 50+ I generated last time),
so it is not surprising that this is the result.

Because I can't do the whole package, I'm putting up the progress I've
made thus far at http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/salome/ for others to work
on.  The -2 .dsc and .debian.tar.gz files are there, the rest will
follow later today.  I'm reluctant to put it in git until an audit turns
up the non-free and other troublesome files, to avoid having to change
the upstream branch and dfsg tarball too many times.  (I've only audited
the first two modules thus far, which seem dfsg-clean.)

Speaking of which, random -legal question: one directory has a .sxw,
a .pdf and a .ps.  The .pdf and ps files are clearly generated from the
sxw.  Does a .dfsg tarball have to remove the .pdf and .ps files, and
somehow re-generate them from the .sxw, or can it just leave them in?
Is there a way to script OO.o to generate a .pdf from a .sxw?

Note: the files whose debian/patches/series entries are commented are
old patches from 3.2.6 which I haven't backported.  They're there to
provide some guidance into how to fix problems related to those I fixed
back then.  The uncommented patches are new, and many of them are ready
to go to upstream.  A few others need only to be made more general
before going upstream, e.g. test for files in dependency packages both
where upstream installs them and where Debian installs them, etc.

To summarize, I need help with the following:
  * Copyright audit of the tree
  * Getting the other modules to configure, compile and install
  * Making patches upstream-compatible, and sending them to upstream

Hopefully in a month or two we'll have both a good Salomé package in
Debian, and a more enlightened upstream!

-Adam

Wow, thank you for this terrific news!  Have you started to forward-port
the old patches to a new package, or are you using a different approach?

A correction: most of my work on this was two years ago, not three.

Okay.  Let me know how I can best fit in with your plans for this
project.

I think this list is pretty good as long as we are talking about
generalities, as I think some of the people on the list will have good
suggestions.  When we start to get into the details of patches and the
package, maybe it will make sense to go off-list.

This is terrific.  My patches are Debian-specific, and need some work to
make them fit the needs of both upstream and Debian.  This gives me hope
that doing that work will help to actually get the patches into the
upstream source!

This is the best news I've heard in a long time.  Thanks again, I look
forward to working with you.

Regards,
Adam

Bug#535828: Debian Packaging advancements

[Joachim Breitner]

[CC’ing debian-devel because this is partly a call for contributions :-]

Hi,

today, I continued in my quest to make a proper Debian package out of
Serna. For now, I ignored the issue of the convenience code copies in
the source code and focused on getting a properly buildable package. The
four really required 3rd party tarballs are shipped in debian/3rd.

http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=summary contains the current state.

I started to use git-dpm[1] for packaging. This means that my changes
against the upstream (which is SVN trunk, revision 139) is stored in
debian/patches:
http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=tree;f=debian/patches;hb=refs/heads/master
Some of those can probably applied to the SVN directory directly, such
as 0017-Working-exports.lst-even-if-list-is-empty.patch. The others
should be reviewd and improved – I’m not an experienced C++ hacker.
Especially the 64bit stuff is just a hack and needs to made working
generally.

The debian packages does not have build-dependencies yet. If someone
wants to help assemble the correct set of packages (using pbuilder and
trial’n’error, that would be appreciated).

The serna binary is installed into /usr/bin/, the rest is put
in /usr/lib/serna. The binary is compiled with rpath so that the bundles
libs can be put in /usr/lib/serna/lib. I tried hard to make serna accept
this, but the patch that I try to use does not seem to be sufficient.
Any comments welcome:
http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/0020-Hardcode-usr-lib-serna-as-DataDir.patch;hb=HEAD

I also started to work on the debian/copyright file, which is naturally
a large beast. Again, help is appreciated:
http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=blob;f=debian/copyright;hb=HEAD

All in all I thought would have gotten further in one whole day, and
motivation is fading again. Contributions by others are a good way to
increase motivation again :-).

Good night,
Joachim

Bug#496586: Numptyphysics Debian package

[Leo 'costela' Antunes]

Hi,

I'm trying to package Numptyphysics in Debian, but I've come across a
few issues.

1) There doesn't seem to be a better way to contact the developers than
personal emails. I though about emailing the list[0], but the fact that
there is only one unresponded email with patches that didn't get
included made me think this might not be the best idea. Is there any
less intrusive way to get in contact which you eventually read/respond?

2) In order to be able to include it in Debian, we need the copyright
statement for zoomer.cpp. It seems to be heavily based on this file[1],
but I can't tell if you incorporated code from other sources.

3) This is not really a problem, but would be nice to have proper info
in the AUTHORS, NEWS/ChangeLog and perhaps even README files.

Hope you have a few minutes to answer. Thanks for your time!

Cheers

Bug#496586: Numptyphysics status update

[Leo 'costela' Antunes]

Hi,

Just a status update on numptyphysics:

Waiting for upstream's answer regarding the licensing of zoomer.cpp.
Waiting for the femkeklaver.ttf font's upstream to re-license it, which
seems possible, judging from the emails exchanged so far. The font has
been split to a separate package, on which numptyphysics depends.

Current preliminary signed packages available here:
http://people.debian.org/~costela/packages/numptyphysics/

Gabriele, as you may notice, these packages have you set as Uploader.
Should I keep it that way? :)

Cheers
