  Description : Java library for the production of proper and improper Java
'.class' files

The AsmTools open source project is used to develop tools for the production of
proper and improper Java '.class' files. AsmTools are being opened in order to
facilitate a community of Java .class file production for various testing and
other OpenJDK development applications.

AsmTools consist of a set of (Java class file) assembler/disassemblers:
 - Jasm/Jdis - an assembler language that provides a Java-like declaration of
member signatures, while providing Java VM specification compliant mnemonics
for byte-code instructions. Jasm also provides high-level syntax for constructs
often found within classfile attributes. Jasm encoded tests are useful for
sequencing byte codes in a way that Javac compiled code might not normally
sequence byte-codes.
 - JCod/JDec - an assembler language that provides byte-code containers of
class-file constructs. JCod encoded tests are useful for testing the well-
formedness of class-files, as well as creating collections within a class-file
construct that might be size-bounded by a normal Java compiler. - JCod can also
be used to 'fuzz' class files in a methodical way that respects class-file
constructs.

AsmTools are completely reflexive - Java binary (.class) files may be
disassembled into textual representations, which in turn can be assembled back
to the same binary file.

AsmTools are developed to support the latest class file formats, in lock-step
with JDK development.

Other open source Java assembler tools and binary classfile frameworks exist.
They can be used for the purpose of synthesizing classfiles, however:
 - they typically are designed to enforce the limits imposed by the VM
specification of the class file format. They are not designed to produce
classes that violate those limits.
 - other assembler tools may not necessarily follow strict Java mnemonics as
defined in the Java VM spec.
 - other assembler tools may not stay in lock-step with the current generation
of the JDK and VM specifications.
 - class file libraries are harder to use for simple manipulations of any given
class file. Typically, one has to create a program in that framework to parse
and modify a class for a specific change to a given class.

The AsmTools open source project is part of the Code Tools Project. It exists
to promote a community that will improve it, further its development, and use
it to develop test suites. We encourage you to browse, download, contribute,
and get involved.

This package is required to run a number of OpenJDK hotspot tests which
currently fail.

The package will be team-maintained in the Debian Java team.

The repository with a packaging draft is available on salsa[1].

No worries: It is a quite common mistake to make :-)

Since this is a Python library, please name the source package
python-lingua-franca (ie. add prefix "python-" to avoid consuming the
language-agnostic general package namespace.

Enjoy your packaging work!

Bug#796295: Happy to Help

[Thomas Ward]

I'm looking after this package a bit downstream in Ubuntu, and have 
multiple packages here in Debian that I'm DM for.


I'd be happy to comaintain the package with the team and everyone else, 
in fact I have an upload prepared for the latest torbrowser-launcher and 
would be happy to work with the team to get this done.  Especially since 
we have a critical-level bug that seems to affect all the 
torbrowser-launcher packages with "no more locales".

 that commands given particular arguments result in particular outputs

 Various parameters to the command function alter
 exactly how this is done,
 in addition to variables that can be set.
 .
 The commands are expected to be simple,
 for example filters that maybe accept standard input
 and respond with some but not too much output.
 Interactive or otherwise complicated commands
 will need some other module such as Expect to test them,
 as will programs that generate too much output.

This package is needed for upcoming releases of licensecheck.

For a bit of historical context, the current multi-branch structure from
the SF repo is quite antiquiated.  It is from a time before debhelper
supported multiple .orig.tar.gz components.  It might make sense to
consider starting with a new repo, with a more sensible branch
structure (one that works more easily with tools like gbp), and that
makes use of the multi-tarball capabilities so that you have have all
the source packages in view at the same time.

Thanks for that.  I'm not sure I would have seen it otherwise.

My needs have been evolving the last few years and I have much less of a
need for a tool like Shorewall these days.  Additionally, I have never
used some of the advanced features (e.g., Multi-ISP, tc, accounting,
etc.).  It would be good to have others involved in maintenance who are
able to contribute in that way.

I see that the group has already been created and that I was added.  At
the moment I am not able to jump in to aid with the transition.  I hope
to clear some major items from my queue in the coming weeks and until
then I will do what I can.

I'd like to mention that there is already a Gitlab group for upstream
Shorewall work (which has been essentially dormant for some time):
https://gitlab.com/shorewall

It might make sense to consider if there is any overlap and if any of
the Salsa work might be better house under the Shorewall Gitlab group.

I'll try to jump in a bit more helpfully next week.
