Bug#982012: ITP: dbip-lite-databases -- IP geolocation databases

[Faidon Liambotis]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Faidon Liambotis 

* Package name: dbip-lite-databases
  Version : 202102
  Upstream Author : Eris Networks S.A.S
* URL : https://db-ip.com/
* License : CC-BY 4.0
  Programming Lang: -
  Description : IP geolocation databases

The DB-IP Lite databases are a set of free IP geolocation databases,
that can map an IPv4 or IPv6 address to a specific continent, country,
city, and ISP, with varying degrees of accuracy.

They are an alternative to the MaxMind GeoLite2 databases (in Debian as
"geoip-database"), newer releases for which are now non-free. They are
also a less accurate (but free) alternative to the commercially
available DB-IP and MaxMind GeoIP databases.

The databases will be offered in the MMDB file format, an open format
with a number of open source reader and writer implementations,
including libmaxminddb, bindings for a variety of programming
languages.

The data set is volatile, and upstream issues regular releases on a
monthly cadence.

Bug#982010: RFP: vimb -- the vim like browser

[Martin Atukunda]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: matl...@gmail.com

* Package name: vimb
  Version : 3.6.0
  Upstream Author : Daniel Carl 
* URL : https://fanglingsu.github.io/vimb/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : the vim like browser

Vimb is a Vim-like web browser that is inspired by Pentadactyl and Vimprobable.
The goal of Vimb is to build a completely keyboard-driven, efficient and
pleasurable browsing-experience with low memory and CPU usage that is intuitive
to use for Vim users.


* it's modal like Vim
* Vim like keybindings - assignable for each browser mode
* nearly every configuration can be changed at runtime with Vim like set syntax
* history for ex commands, search queries, URLs
* completions for: commands, URLs, bookmarked URLs, variable names of settings, 
search-queries
* hinting - marks links, form fields and other clickable elements to be 
clicked, opened or inspected
* SSL validation against ca-certificate file
* user defined URL-shortcuts with placeholders
* read it later queue to collect URIs for later use
* multiple yank/paste registers
* Vim like autocmd - execute commands automatically after an event on specific 
URIs

Q: Why us this package useful/relevant?
A: vimb presents a light weight browser using a relatively modern web engine

Q: Is it a dependency for another package
A: No

Q: Do you use it?
A: No, it is not packaged by Debian. Otherwise I _would_ use it :)

Q: How does it compare to other packages providing similar functionality
A: It beats them all, since it uses vim like configuration, and keyboard only
   access. Obviously I am biased, but the closest thing to this is vimparator(?)
   for Firefox

Q: How do you plan to maintain it?
A: No idea at this time

It doesn't share any code with debhelper today; there are some
similarities in what they're trying to do but their constraints are
quite different.

Within a compat level debhelper needs to be consistent in its
behaviour, and predictable.

ognibuild provides no such guarantees and newer versions
may behave slightly differently, as support for more build systems is
added or tweaked. debhelper is specific Debian, ognibuild is
not.

> > It can also detect and install missing dependencies.
> Do you mean Debian packages?
That's what it's currently used for, but it's not specific to Debian.

It uses a two-tier approach.

It detects "upstream dependencies" from both upstream build
configuration (e.g. setup.py) and build logs (e.g. "ModuleNotFoundError: unable
to find module blah").

As a second step, it can then attempt to translate the upstream
dependency (e.g. {'family': 'python', 'module': 'blah'} to a Debian
package name by using apt-file or some other set of rules. That Debian
package name can then be added to the build dependencies and (in the
case of an error extract from a build log) the build retried to verify
that the new dependency addresses the build error.

It could also do something else as the second step, like invoke "pip
install blah", or perhaps translate the upstream dependency to a
RPM package name.

Cheers,

Jelmer

Thanks for raising the issue. The reply from the original maintainer
was made on May 1 and FTP Masters removed the package on May 2; I
didn't have enough time to halt the package removal after receiving the
reply.

I'm glad that the original package maintainer is still active and using
the software and thanks for taking care of this package.
