  Description : Implementation of the Pragmatic General Multicast protocol

OpenPGM is an open source implementation of the Pragmatic General
Multicast (PGM) specification in RFC 3208 available at www.ietf.org. PGM
is a reliable and scalable multicast protocol that enables receivers to
detect loss, request retransmission of lost data, or notify an
application of unrecoverable loss. PGM is a receiver-reliable protocol,
which means the receiver is responsible for ensuring all data is
received, absolving the sender of reception responsibility. PGM runs
over a best effort datagram service, currently OpenPGM uses IP multicast
but could be implemented above switched fabrics such as InfiniBand.

PGM is appropriate for applications that require duplicate-free
multicast data delivery from multiple sources to multiple receivers. PGM
does not support acknowledged delivery, nor does it guarantee ordering
of packets from multiple senders.

  Description : A Utility that analyzes systems of lenses.

Copied from the web, probably needs a little editing:

OpticalRayTracer is a free (GPL) Linux (Xwindows GUI-based) utility that
analyzes systems of lenses. It uses optical principles and a virtual optical
bench to predict the behavior of many kinds of ordinary and exotic lens types.
OpticalRayTracer includes an advanced, easy-to-use interface that allows the
user to rearrange the optical configuration by simply dragging lenses around
using the mouse.

OpticalRayTracer fully analyzes lens optical properties,
incuding refraction and dispersion. The dispersion display uses color-coded
light beams, as shown above, to simplify interpretation of the results.

 I don't really know when I get around to finish packaging it; with the
current tarball, I have an autoconf/auto* issue that needs sorting out first.

If you happen to be faster than me, just consider this an RFP instead of an ITP.

Hi,

Since svninfo is now contained in texlive-latex-extra and since I'm not
a frequent TeX user anyway and have not done anything in over a year,
I'll drop the latex-svninfo package post-etch if nobody else wants it.

See also the bug I'm going to file about the svninfo version in the
texlive package.

The package description is:
 This package offers a way to extract the revision and file information
 provided by the Subversion revision control system in '$Id:$' tags.
 It is a descendant of the rcsinfo package.

Also, I may be wrong but I guess this would be libclientform-python in any

This is very, very important for Debian. Without a valid license, it is 
impossible that Debian can distribute them. (Ok, I only now see that 
you say that the fonts are GPL. No problem there, then.)

You best read the 'new maintainer's guide' first, 
 which talks about how to 
create packages. More details are available at 
 (especially the Debian Policy Manual and 
the Developer's Reference).

I don't know anything about packaging fonts, but I guess you could take 
one of the existing truetype font packages and use them as a starting 
point, this is certainly easier than starting from scratch.

Once you have a package ready, you best announce it on the 
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list (add 'RFS' to the subject 
of your email - a 'Request for Sponsorship') and if somebody wants to 
look at your package. Work with them to get the package in shape (as a 
beginner to Debian packages you'll likely have some details to sort 
out) until your package can be uploaded to Debian (your sponsor will do 
that for you).

  Description : project management tool

Taskjuggler is a project management tool for Linux and UNIX system-based

the next month or want to build a skyscraper - Taskjuggler is the tool
for you.

Instead of clicking yourself painfully through hundreds of dialog boxes
you specify your Taskjuggler project in a simple text format. You simply
list all your tasks and their dependencies. The information is sent
through Taskjuggler and you will get all sorts of reports in HTML or XML
format.

Taskjuggler does not only honor the task interdependencies but also
takes resource constrains into account. Using Taskjuggler's powerful
filtering and reporting algorithms you can create task lists, resource
usage tables, status reports, project calendars and project accounting
statements.


(Long description is from the website, I guess the reference to Linux
does not make sense in a package description).

Most dependencies are already packaged, the only missing thing is
PostScript::Simple (that would be libpostscript-simple-perl), which is
optional. There is also a python frontend which could probably be
packaged, too.

Yo!

[My timing is very bad - I'll be on vacation next week. So don't expect answers
during that time]

I recently discovered Benji Fisher's word_complete plugin - and since I'm
just learning dpkg in the office, I thought I'd give that one a try.

Perhaps one of you vim people could have a look at it and perhaps tell me if
it's worth to be included in Debian (so that I should improve it and try to get
it in - IANADD & this is my first package). This is not an ITP yet because if
somebody else wants to package it, feel free. But I'm thinking about turning
this into my own ITP (that's the main reason for cc:ing this to the vim,
vim-scripts and vim-latexsuite maintainers - obviously I'd need a sponsor).

Known issues:
 - license. I'll mail Benji about that
 - the plugin itself is far from bug free. But that's beyond my skills right
now
 - IIRC there was a thread about packaging vim plugins quite recently, with a
proposed vim mini-policy. I'll have to dig that one out.

Early Bird is a realtime HTTP worm intrusion attempt reporting utility.
Originally written to combat only Code Red, Early Bird originally
functioned simply as a decoy by living under the name of 'default.ida'.
Over time, Early Bird was altered to handle other worm attack
signatures.  When the HTTP worm attempts to exploit a known buffer
overflow (usually in IIS), Early Bird captures the attacking IP, the
request string sent, and composes an email to the offending network
contact to alert them to their problem.

(taken from the earlybird FAQ)

IANADD - but if I ever get some more free time, this would be candidate
for a first package, I think.

server as a Debian package, I don't mind that it depends on a zillion
