Bug#553311: python-ldraw
Hello, (sorry for the _late_ reply) On Sat, 25 Feb 2012 00:14:38 +0100, David Boddie wrote: > My understanding is that the .dat files are the preferred form of > modification even though the maintainers may use tools that save and load > files in other formats.

I just looked at those .dat files and -- even though they're text-only files -- I can't imagine a human typing something like this (from 4490.dat): /--- | 0 BFC INVERTNEXT | 1 16 20 24 0 6 0 0 0 -20 0 0 0 6 box5.dat | 0 BFC INVERTNEXT | 1 16 -20 24 0 6 0 0 0 -20 0 0 0 6 box5.dat | 4 16 30 24 10 26 24 6 14 24 6 10 24 10 | 4 16 10 24 10 14 24 6 14 24 -6 10 24 -10 | 4 16 10 24 -10 14 24 -6 26 24 -6 30 24 -10 | 4 16 30 24 -10 26 24 -6 26 24 6 30 24 10 | 4 16 -10 24 10 -14 24 6 -26 24 6 -30 24 10 | 4 16 -30 24 10 -26 24 6 -26 24 -6 -30 24 -10 | 4 16 -30 24 -10 -26 24 -6 -14 24 -6 -10 24 -10 | 4 16 -10 24 -10 -14 24 -6 -14 24 6 -10 24 10 | ... \--- They can really be the source only if, for example, there's some GUI (or any other suitable) program able to load/save them, by which one can create a new ldraw-part from scratch. > Checking now, it seems that the parts library described at > > http://www.ldraw.org/Downloads-req-viewdownloaddetails-lid-98.html > > is not redistributable because it contains non-redistributable parts.

This _can_ be a problem, but not necessarily. It depends whether the buildsystem is available into Debian, and if I (or anyone else) is able to successfully compile them. If the answer to both questions is "yes", we don't really need an upstream-provided buildsystem. So, here's the current status. LeoCAD now builds fine, so the only missing bit is the pieces library. I/we need to find out what the real source is (if it's not the .dat files), how to compile it, and what leocad expects it to be (location, format, structure, [..]). Kindly, David -- . ''`.

Bug#662763: RFS - libaio-ocaml 1.0-1
Hi, I've just uploaded libaio-ocaml_1.0-1_amd64.changes to mentors [1] and also taged it in git [2,3] as debian/1.0-1. The debian/rules file now has a release target that creates the orig tarball, imports it into the upstream branch and pristine-tar branch if needed and tags the release. I couldn't get it to work with git merge since that complains about a modify/delete conflict if anything in the debian dir is changed. But git-import-orig works fine too. I will see if I can get the histories of the master and upstream branch connected for later releases. Now the package is non-native so there should be nothing more standing in the way of sponsoring it.

I see LeoCAD itself has its own parts library, mentioned here: http://leocad.org/trac/wiki/Legal Whether or not it's preferable to use that library is not something I can help with, unfortunately. It might make it slightly easier to repackage if it does not contain non-redistributable parts to start with, but the file format question remains. [...] > So, here's the current status.

I/we need to find out what the real source is > (if it's not the .dat files), how to compile it, and what leocad expects it > to be (location, format, structure, [..]). My impression is that the LDraw format used in .dat files is the common currency, if not the nicest format to edit, and that at least some part authors actually write it by hand. All the parts in the official parts database (http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptlist.cgi) are in that format, as far as I can tell. Where you would go to find those files in another format is unclear. I presume that part authors who don't actually write parts by hand use many different tools to create them before submitting them to the database as .dat files. There's a short discussion about that in a thread in a forum: http://forums.ldraw.org/read.php?19,134,205#msg-205 I think it may be useful to think about the parts library in a similar way to various fonts that are shipped by Debian. For example, the source for the ttf-bitstream-vera package contains only .ttf files, whereas those for the ttf-dejavu package contains FontForge .sfd files. Clearly, we could have a similar discussion about those .ttf files, so it would be interesting to know how that issue was resolved for that package, and others like it.

Well, I downloaded leocad's parts library, and.. they're precompiled binary files: $ ls /tmp/pieces-5243/ pieces.binpieces.idxsysfont.txf textures.bin textures.idx I'd expect these were compiled from some .dat (and possibly other files?).

Here's another point: to be an acceptable form of "source", we'd need some software in Debian (main) capable of creating/manipulating those .dat files. Expanding the comparison to fonts, we have "fontforge" which nicely behaves with .ttf (not sure about .sfd). So, even if they're binary files, they are actually the source. I hope the situation's a bit clearer now :) David -- . ''`.

It looks like a collection of database files, but a quick search of the site indicates that the tools/convert directory may contain code to generate these files from the original LDraw parts library. > Here's another point: to be an acceptable form of "source", we'd need some > software in Debian (main) capable of creating/manipulating those .dat > files.

This is what I suspect is the case with the original LDraw parts. > I hope the situation's a bit clearer now :) Yes, thanks. :-) David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
