Bug#696582: ITP: meritous -- action-adventure dungeon crawl game
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Sylvain Beucler * Package name: meritous Version : 1.2 Upstream Author : Lancer-X/ASCEAI * URL : http://www.asceai.net/meritous/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : action-adventure dungeon crawl game Long description: Far below the surface of the planet is a secret. A place of limitless power. Those that seek to control such a utopia will soon bring an end to themselves. Seeking an end to the troubles that plague him, PSI user MERIT journeys into the hallowed Orcus Dome in search of answers. . Mertious is a action-adventure game with simple controls but a challenge to find a balance of power verses recovery time during real-time battles. Set in a fractually-generated world, the player can explore thousands of rooms in search of powerful artifacts, tools to help them, and to eventually free the Orcus Dome from evil. This is actually a re-upload. I'm part of the Debian Games team and noticed #672759: RM: meritous -- RoQA; FTBFS; unmaintained; low popcon RoQA; FTBFS; unmaintained; low popcon I'm adressing these points below: - RoQA/unmaintained: I'll assume that the original packager (sponsored by tolimar back in 2008) was contacted and is now unresponsive, so I'm taking over. In addition, the game wasn't part of the games team AFAICT and fell off our radar. - FTBFS: just a missing build-dep on zlib - low popcon: consider this is a game and that people tend to uninstall them after beating it; other games such as flare or abuse are in this range (100-200). Not that popularity means quality ;) The game is otherwise finished and, despite the removal of unfree/unclear music, quite enoyable. -- Sylvain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#695130: Please retitle Orphan bug against openmotif if you intent to adopt
Hi Joël, If you intent to adopt openmotif, please retitle and own bug 695130, so it shows up in the PTS [1]. I was looking into openmotif to make it Multiarch for Wheezy, but if you are working on it, I leave you to it. Do you think you can fix (apply the patch) 673690 soon, so it can still go into Wheezy? It qualifies for the freeze exceptions [2], as multiarch is a release goal. If not, I can make a fix for multiarch and let you have the package afterwards.

Bug#696593: ITP: sun -- sun calculates the sun's rise/set times

Its a stand alone binary following the unix paradigm. Its designed to be used in conjunjtion with cron, at date etc. For me this tool is extremly useful as you might note with these examples: Schedule a BIOS wakeup 10 minutes before the sunrise in Berlin: nvram-wakeup -s $(date -d "-10min $(sun rise -q Berlin)" +%s) Shutdown the system 10 minutes after sunset: shutdown $(date -d +10min $(src/sun set --lat=50.55 --lon=-6.2) +%H:%M) Enable my lighting at cilil twiglight: echo ~/bin/enable-lightning | at $(sun set -q Frankfurt -t civil) The sourcecode is hostet at github: https://github.com/stv0g/sun Debian packaging is already completed. I'm currently providing the package in my own apt repository: http://packages.0l.de/debian/pool/main/s/sun/ Its based on the solar calculations: http://lexikon.astronomie.info/zeitgleichung/neu.html from Arnold Barmettler Merry X-Mas Steffen PS: Please excuse my mistakes i've propably made.

Bug#695130: Openmotif licensed under a free license (HOORAY)
Hi Joël, [CC-ing you as I am not sure if you subscribed to the bug] As the license of openmotif changed into a free license, I hereby offer my help to get openmotif into shape again for Debian. I propose to do this a team and put the packaging info on Alioth (if you agree of course). I am co-maintainer of lesstif, the open source motif alternative, but as the license of motif improved, I am considering asking retirement of lesstif as a release goal for jessy (the next Debian release).

Bug#696593: ITP: sun -- sun calculates the sun's rise/set times
Hi, Would it be possible to have a name a bit less generic and short ? It is not a command-line tool that people are likely to use on a regular basis, as far as I can tell. I'm very bad at naming, so the only one I came up with was "suncycles" but I'm sure there are better alternatives out there ;-) Cheers, Simon signature.asc Description: signature
Bug#696593: ITP: sun -- sun calculates the sun's rise/set times
FWIW, two existing way to do that that are already in Debian are the packages remind and libdatetime-astro-sunrise-perl. Use of the perl module is pretty obvious; use of remind is too ugly to show here. :) A standalone tool is nice, but there would be something to be said for using an existing library to avoid reinventing this rather complex and subtle wheel. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hey *, thanks for your great feedback! > Would it be possible to have a name a bit less generic and short ? It is > not a command-line tool that people are likely to use on a regular > basis, as far as I can tell. Uhm, you are right :-/ I've choosen 'sun' because of the signature of the tool: usage: sun mode [options] mode is one of: rise, set, noon, daytime, nighttime The name 'sun' allows you to create easy readable expressions like: sun rise --query Sydney Whats about 'solar' or 'suntime'? Any other suggestions? > Sounds like an interesting project. Have you already uploaded your > package to Debian mentors [1] to ask for sponsorship? I've created a RFS [1] > FWIW, two existing way to do that that are already in Debian > are the packages remind and libdatetime-astro-sunrise-perl. Yes, that's correct. I already knew that before I started working on 'sun'. I decided to choose ANSI C as language to be fast an portable. I planning to use 'sun' on a very small embedded system. And second, the algorithm I used for this package keeps place for enhancements to calculate the suns position (declination, rightascension). I'm not really a fan of these perl-modules. That's not my understanding of small, fast & portable tools as it is being contemplated in the UNIX paradigm. There's already an updated upstream version. I added a simple caching for geonames.org lookups. So I reuploaded the package to debian-mentors [2].

Bug#691199: I am requesting more information about adoption of ksh project
Hello, I might consider adopting your project, pending a greater understanding of the scope. I have 20+ years professional software development experience in C/C++ for many Unix platforms, but recently I have done many things in C#, flash, java, and javascript. I hate to see ksh languish as it is my shell of choice (in fact, the only one I'm willing to use), and I'm particularly sensitive to a bug so catastrophic that a simple cd ../ would fail. This is indicative of an absence of attention to the project that borders on near abandonment. I haven't worked on official open source projects before, so I'm unfamiliar with the concept of an "upstream" issue. I would ask what exactly (or who exactly) can introduce upstream issues, and what is the hierarchy of upstream vs. downstream with regards to making/adopting/publishing changes to the package. In other words, who has absolute control, and at whose mercy am I if I undertake this project? Who is the true owner, and where would I fit in? Please contact me at wc -- at -- johndawson -- dot -- org (making the appropriate substitutions) to discuss the specifics outlined above. John Dawson
