Bug#930306: New maintainer for teensy-loader-cli
control -1 pending thanks Hi, Teensy-loader-cli will have a new uploader: Me. And for the better bus-factor will it be done under the umbrella of the Debian Electronics Team. The teensy-loader-cli.git.tar.xz fetch from https://alioth-archive.debian.org/git/collab-maint/ has been handled as documented at https://wiki.debian.org/Salsa/AliothMigration#By_hand so now there is https://salsa.debian.org/electronics-team/teensy-loader-cli Actual new upload will happen when I have seen version 2.2 been working.

Keep in mind that I'm the upstream developer for several programs, but have been involved with Debian mainly by interaction with the developers who package my programs, e.g., ncurses, xterm, lynx, vile, dialog, vttest, cproto, diffstat, libcdk5 (there's another half-dozen). I recently was reminded that byacc wasn't being kept up to date, and decided to remedy that. luit's one of five programs that weren't up to date -- in Debian. A reminder to Santiago Vila got dialog updated, and someone offered to work on tapecalc. byacc and luit are what I've been working on this week - see https://mentors.debian.net/package/byacc/ https://mentors.debian.net/package/luit/ https://mentors.debian.net/package/x11-utils/ (further improvements are contemplated...) > If not, I don't see a point in creating a separate package for it.

I've discussed it more than once with other developers (Julien Cristau and Sven Joachim) over the past ten years, and gotten no response. I don't recall talking to you before. -- Thomas E.

Bug#1003102: ITP: webrtc -- WebRTC provides real time voice and video processing functionality to enable the implementation of PeerConnection/MediaStream.
Quoting 汤孟 (2022-01-05 08:01:48) > In these projects, I found the release version in the owt-deps-webrtc > project, can I release libwebrtc based on owt-deps-webrtc? Sounds like a good idea to me that you package the OWT fork of the WebRTC library collection. I recommend to then choose a package name which indicates the fork packaged, to make room for eventual later packaging of other forks as well (e.g. it might make sense for the Mozilla fork to be packaged as regular packages reusable by others instead of only embedded with firefox and firefox-esr as it is today). Concretely I propose the package name "libwebrtc-owt". > In addition, because webrtc needs to use gclient sync to synchronize > some Google warehouse codes, considering the stability of the build, > can I synchronize other Google warehouse codes that webrtc rely on > based on the DEPS files in the owt-deps-webrtc project? Sorry, I don't know about those details, so cannot sensibly advice you on them. Maybe as such questions to debian-de...@lists.debian.org (and try expand the question to make sense also for people not already familiar with the details - or at least add links to places with more details). It sounds like those are tracking mechanisms (or can be aboused as such), and I would recommend that you try make them optional in your packaging - e.g. if possible to build with or without such features then consider making 2 binary packages, so that users can choose to install packages _without_ such mechanisms baked in - even if maybe for your own needs those features are needed. If you are interested in such privacy concerns, you might also want to look at https://wiki.debian.org/PrivacyIssues - and update that page with any additional information you may be aware of. > Arun Raghavan who maintains webrtc-audio-processing has already > responded to this effort.

Moreover, caring for ABI > compatibility is a lot of work. When trying to package libobjcryst, it became obvious that a SONAME had to be applied to cctbx, just as libobjcryst itself needs to patch in a SONAME. It is an extra amount of work but C++ symbols based on a package using lots of templates are fuzzy at best and with so many different modules in cctbx, the only practical way to handle it seems to be a new SONAME each time. The header files are also problematic. We might be able to restrict SONAME changes to upstream versions which make changes to the header files included in libcctbx-dev rather than every new upstream release.

Maybe package it as pdb-reduce or pdb-hydrogen-reduce ? /usr/bin/reduce does not exist in Debian yet but it may be worth packaging the script as pdb-reduce with a note in README.Debian - anyone switching from using the upstream build to Debian packages will need to make other changes anyway. > > [1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=679905#98 > [2] https://github.com/rlabduke/reduce > > Best, > Andrius > > -- Neil Williams = https://linux.codehelp.co.uk/ pgpAlKxg1rYlj.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature
