Bug#548070: Info about PDCURSES, a X11/SDL curses package
Hi, SDL maintainers, Peter and Alen Some time ago I read news about SDL team revitalization, and wanted to let you know about this ITP, http://bugs.debian.org/548070 This is about PDCurses, an X/Open curses library with X11 and SDL interfaces. It does not build the SDL part by default (not included in main build chain). For some time I was building personal packages for the X11 port, mostly to be used by another personal package with a X11 port of the Hessling editor, the (a text editor intended to be similar to the IBM VM/CMS System Product Editor, XEDIT and to KEDIT from Mansfield Software). the is in Debian, but only the ncurses build is used. Contacting Debian the maintainer about this has been in my TODO list for years, but I always left this for later, cc'ing him now to make sure he knows about this. Some time after Peter filed his ITP, I started playing with the PDCurses SDL part and with libtool, to build both XCurses and sdlcurses libraries in a way that tries to avoid touching upstream build chain and includes proposed fixes for some bugs. Resulting packages seem to work well in Debian, and some packages are built (see more details in above ITP), Source package: pdcurses Binary packages: * Runtime shared libraries: - libxcurses3 - libpdcurses3 * Static libraries and unversioned shared link: - libxcurses-dev - libpdcurses-dev * Headers (needed by both libxcurses-dev and libsdlcurses-dev): - pdcurses-headers Note that I use libpdcurses3, libpdcurses-dev and libpdcurses.* for the SDL stuff, honouring current upstream naming scheme. I'd personally prefer something like pdcurses-sdl or sdlcurses, but I tried to not differ from upstream. I already mailed him with no reply. My current stuff is in tmp/libtool branch at git://anonscm.debian.org/users/agmartin/pdcurses.git It does not contain some more recent changes I did (like multiarch changes), because I wanted that to be usable in squeeze. The ITP has been idle for a while and I also left this in stand-by for some time, so I use your old announce as an excuse to ping about it, also because I think the SDL team may be interested in knowing about this package (Peter planned it inside the games team). I currently do not plan to become Debian main maintainer for this package, but my git repo may be useful to anyone interested. I could however help if needed.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: star Version : 1.5.1 Upstream Author : Jörg Schilling joerg.schill...@fokus.fraunhofer.de * URL : http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/star.html * License : GPL, CDDL Programming Lang: C Description : star version of the tar archiving utility Star saves many files together into a single tape or disk archive, and can restore individual files from the archive. It includes a FIFO for speed, a pattern matcher, multivolume support, the ability to correctly archive sparse files, automatic archive format detection, automatic byte order recognition, automatic archive compression/decompression, remote archives and special features that allow star to be used for full backups. it includes a built in find(1) command that allows to execute find(1) expressions. It also includes `rmt', a truly portable version of the remote tape server that supports remote operation between different OS and machine architectures (hides even Linux oddities) and a portable `mt' tape drive control program that is able to use the remote tape interface. It has the advantage over GNU tar, that it supports ACLs/XATTRs. Also, it may be useful to be able to write tar files in the star format. GNU tar can only read them.
