Bug#684039: Bug#694632: Bug#684039: Bug#694632: Bug#684039: ITP: prime-phylo -- Bayesian estimation of gene trees taking the species tree into account

2012-12-18 Thread Erik Sjölund
I think the documentation

http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/docs/policy.html

 was not so clear about how to handle a new upstream release. Anyway
when I also found

http://wiki.debian.org/Games/VCS/git#Adding_a_new_upstream_release

I came to the conclusion that I needed to run

git import-orig --pristine-tar

again.

erik@linux:~$ wget --quiet

Bug#685575: opentracker is Beerware

2012-12-18 Thread Tanguy Ortolo

Ben Johnson, 2012-12-17 22:39-0500:

opentracker is considered Beerware, which is a legitimate licensing
mechanism (see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beerware ).


Yes, but is that license well-known enough so we can consider the simple 
statement “this software is considered beerware”, with neither a license 
text nor a link to such a text, as a valid indication that this software 
is indeed licensed under the terms of that free license?



The author also discusses this very subject (uncertainty regarding
opentracker's licensing terms) at
http://tanguy.ortolo.eu/blog/article11/coding-bittorrent-tracker , and
offers the following:

If anyone ever would have asked, I would have provided a special
permission to re-distribute opentracker under every brain-fart-licencing
scheme is the flavour of the year now. Hand written, if necessary. I'm
astonished what the community nowaday demands from programmers to
graciously accept the software given away for free.

Take it or leave it.

So, there we have it; the software is free in every sense of the word.


I would not be that optimistic. The author has indeed made his intention 
clear: this program is certainly intended to be free. But is it really? 
That would not be the first license bug we encounter…


Ben, if you achieve to get erdgeist to explicit that license, by either 
adding the full license text (that is only three lines) or a link to its 
original text on the Web to te source package, that would be great.  I 
tried that, and failed (I think I only managed to annoy him), but you 
may have more chance.

Bug#696232: ITP: jq -- a command-line json processor

2012-12-18 Thread Simon Elsbrock
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Simon Elsbrock si...@iodev.org

* Package name: jq
  Version : 1.1
  Upstream Author : Stephen Dolan m...@netsoc.tcd.ie
* URL : http://github.com/stedolan/jq
* License : (MIT)
  Programming Lang: (C)
  Description : a command-line json processor

jq is like sed for JSON data - you can use it to slice and filter and
map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep
and friends let you play with text.

jq is written in portable C, and it has zero runtime dependencies.

jq can mangle the data format that you have into the one that you want
with very little effort, and the program to do so is often shorter and
simpler than you’d expect.

Yes, in dead.  We would be happy about any patch to the Debian Med

This worked for me.  So the package is in principle ready for uploading
with the one minor exception that the ITP bug is closed in some previous
version and not the latest to be uploaded one.  If you ask me I would
simply strip the changelog to


prime-phylo (1.0.11-1) unstable; urgency=low

 * Initial release (Closes: #684039)

 -- Erik Sjolund erik.sjol...@gmail.com  Mon, 17 Dec 2012 14:11:13 +0100


by simply droping the detailed pre-Debian upload history which is not
relevant for the *debian/*changelog.  Usually ftpmasters are a bit
disturbed about longish and for them uninteresting history and finally
we do have the data inside Git repository anyway.  In case you insist
in keeping the longish changelog (which would be fine for me if you
might have your personal preference) I would move the Closes statement
just up to the latest changelog entry.  However, in this case we should
change the target distribution from unstable to UNRELEASED to make
pretty clear that these versions never have hit the Debian mirrors.

Please either change it in the way of your choice or tell me what you
prefer and I'll do the change and upload.

Thanks for preparing the package

Andreas.

 http://mentors.debian.net/package/udns
 http://mentors.debian.net/package/jabberd2

If your intent was to contact the current Maintainer you should CC them 
explicitly. RFA bugs are filled against wnpp and there is no way to tell 
if the Maintainer is subscribed to the bug.

If your intent was to look for sponsors there is a special procedure for 
that, but you should still CC the original Maintainer, as they might 
want to sponsor you.

In the particular case of jabberd2 you should most definitely contact 
the Maintainer first, because:
- it is a Team (they will probably welcome your help)
- they are not the original Maintainer who filed the RFA (they may have 
  forgotten to close the bug)

Regarding udns, the package doesn't appear to be orphaned (no O: bug 
against wnpp). In this case uploading a new package might be considered 
a hijack. If you want to help you should definitely contact the 
Maintainer first.

Kind regards,
Andrei

Although the libowfat library is under GPL, Felix von Leitner aggreed
[sic] that the compiled binary may be distributed under the same beer
ware license as the source code for opentracker. However, we like to
hear from happy customers.
---

It seems fair to say that there is no ambiguity regarding the author's
intentions with respect to licensing. (You seem to agree with this
assessment.)

Then question then becomes whether or not the Beerware license is
sufficiently well-known to be considered for inclusion in Debian. One
of the comments from your blog post (cited previously in this
discussion) states:

thursday 02 june 2011 à 03:42 Anonymous said : #8

The license is Beerware http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beerware, and
should be fine, Debian for example has plenty of code with such
license already.

Is it possible to authenticate this statement? In particular, ...
Debian for example has plenty of code with such license already.

If this statement is true, and Debian already includes software that
is licensed as Beerware, then I do not see the problem with
including opentracker.

Out of curiosity, what's to stop me from downloading the opentracker
source code, adding a licensing notice of my choosing to the README
file (while leaving the original notice intact), and then
redistributing the software to the Debian project under the new license?

Would Debian demand that I provide written permission from the
original author? In what form? How could Debian be sure that the
document granting permission is genuine?

Obviously, it would be much simpler if erdgeist would simply add the
actual license text (even if only three lines), or even a link to the
Beerware Wiki article, to the README. I haven't had any luck
contacting him over the years, either (regarding documentation
questions, mostly), but I'll keep at it.

Thanks again,

-Ben

Bug#659031: Abandoned

2012-12-18 Thread Christopher Gervais
According to the project README
(https://github.com/mitchellh/virtualbox/blob/master/Readme.md), this
project had been abandoned. It there still an intention to package?

Also, is this still a blocker for #658863? I don't see any reference to
it in Veewee.

Bug#658863: 'official' debian baseboxes

2012-12-18 Thread Christopher Gervais
There has been some interest in my proposal
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-cloud/2012/12/msg00079.html) to build
'official' Debian baseboxes. Since Veewee is the obvious tool of choice
for this task, I'd like to see it packaged for Debian.

I have some limited experience packaging .debs, but none with Ruby gems.
Still, I'll try to package this project, unless anyone indicates there
is already work in progress to that end.

Bug#590180: Sigile Debian package

2012-12-18 Thread Mathieu Malaterre
block 590180 by 614183
block 590180 by 602781
tags 590180 - pending
thanks

I removed the pending tag.
This is still not clear what happen exactly to this package. Is anyone
actually working on ? As per 590180#43 there should be some work done
at:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/sigil.git;a=summary

However this looks like an empty git repository.

I did add block to the reference bug, but again I do not see them as
stopper. Debian policy is quite clear on convienient copy, while bad
it is not a strict requirement:

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-embeddedfiles

Anyway, I'd like to switch the ITP to an RFP, and remove the current
owner if no one actually works on it.

Thanks.

Yeah, and it would not make much sense to just package the one for
GNOME. Retitled the bug report accordingly.

 Authors would like 3 differents package made according to the
 README.

Makes sense for me. (See
https://gitorious.org/openraster/ora-thumbnailers/blobs/master/README
for referred upstream preference.)

So this would make:

1 upstream project (https://gitorious.org/openraster/ora-thumbnailers)
1 source package (ora-thumbnailers)
3 binary packages (ora-thumbnailer-{xfce,gnome,kde})

Bug#696305: ITP: libmath-prime-util-perl -- Utilities related to prime numbers, including fast sieves and factoring

2012-12-18 Thread Daniel Kahn Gillmor
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Daniel Kahn Gillmor d...@fifthhorseman.net

* Package name: libmath-prime-util-perl
  Version : 0.16
  Upstream Author : Dana A Jacobsen d...@acm.org
* URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Math-Prime-Util/
* License : GPL | Artistic
  Programming Lang: C, Perl
  Description : Utilities related to prime numbers, including fast sieves 
and factoring
 A set of utilities related to prime numbers. These include multiple sieving
 methods, is_prime, prime_count, nth_prime, approximations and bounds for the
 prime_count and nth prime, next_prime and prev_prime, factoring utilities,
 and more.
 .
 The default sieving and factoring are intended to be (and currently are) the
 fastest on CPAN, including Math::Prime::XS, Math::Prime::FastSieve,
 Math::Factor::XS, Math::Prime::TiedArray, Math::Big::Factors,
 Math::Factoring, and Math::Primality (when the GMP module is available). For
 numbers in the 10-20 digit range, it is often orders of magnitude faster.
 Typically it is faster than Math::Pari for 64-bit operations.
 .
 All operations support both Perl UV's (32-bit or 64-bit) and bignums. It
 requires no external software for big number support, as there are Perl
 implementations included that solely use Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat.
 However, performance will be improved for most big number functions by
 installing Math::Prime::Util::GMP, and is definitely recommended if you do
 many bignum operations. Also look into Math::Pari as an alternative.

Bug#696309: ITP: libmath-prime-util-gmp-perl -- Perl utilities related to prime numbers, using GMP

2012-12-18 Thread Daniel Kahn Gillmor
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Daniel Kahn Gillmor d...@fifthhorseman.net

* Package name: libmath-prime-util-gmp-perl
  Version : 0.6
  Upstream Author : Dana A Jacobsen d...@acm.org
* URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Math-Prime-Util-GMP/
* License : Perl (GPL or Artistic)
  Programming Lang: C, Perl
  Description : Perl utilities related to prime numbers, using GMP
 A set of utilities related to prime numbers, using GMP. This includes
 primality tests, getting primes in a range, and factoring.
 .
 While it certainly can be used directly, the main purpose of this module is
 for Math::Prime::Util. That module will automatically load this if it is
 installed, greatly speeding up many of its operations on big numbers.
 .
 Inputs and outputs for big numbers are via strings, so you do not need to use
 a bigint package in your program. However if you do use bigints, inputs will
 be converted internally so there is no need to convert before a call. Output
 results are returned as either Perl scalars (for native-size) or strings (for
 bigints). Math::Prime::Util tries to reconvert all strings back into the
 callers bigint type if possible, which makes it more convenient for
 calculations.
