Bug#129868: O: viewml -- The ViewML Browser is a Web Browser still in development.
Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-01-18 Severity: normal Description: The ViewML Browser is a Web Browser still in development. The ViewML Browser is a Web Browser aimed at producing a small memory footprint for embedded Linux Systems. . It is based on KDE's kfm and fltk. viewml was a promising project, when I first packages it, but the developtment has totally stalled since end of august 2001. It has a very ugly wrapper to convert the kde and qt calls to fltk. It has one open bug (#119740: viewml: fails to build on ia64), but it is not very usefull at the moment. Hereby I propose viewml is completely removed from the debian archive. If nobody adopts this package within the next 10 days, I'll file a bug against ftp.debian.org.

Bug#98018: Can it make use of mpg321 instead of mpg123?
It would be nice, if it uses mpg321 as default, if possible: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show mpg321 Package: mpg321 Priority: optional Section: sound Installed-Size: 92 Maintainer: Joe Drew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 0.0.6 Provides: mpg123, mp3-decoder Depends: libao0, libc6 (>= 2.2.2-2), libsdl1.2, libsmpeg0 (>= 0.4.3-2) Filename: pool/main/m/mpg321/mpg321_0.0.6_i386.deb Size: 15914 MD5sum: 20081ea14c32e0262d2e91b8aa063e92 Description: A Free command-line mp3 player based on smpeg mpg321 is a clone of the popular mpg123 command-line mp3 player. It should function as a drop-in replacement for mpg123 in many cases. While some of the stand-alone functionality of mpg123 is not yet implemented (such as playlists), it should function properly as a backend to frontends such as gqmpeg. . While mpg321 is not as efficient on lower-end systems as the non-free mpg123, it comes under a fully Free license, which allows greater freedoms to its users. It is, therefore, a viable alternative to installing non-free software. Bye, - -- Alain -- - -- Never argue with a man who buys ink by the barrel. pgpsYytjohayr.pgp Description: PGP signature

As I was browsing through their site, I was reconizing this: MPlayer incorporates a lot of code from other projects, but for now everything except the OpenDivX stuff is GPL. I downloaded it and it seems to use the GPL, but they restrict it further with the "OpenDivX license" - I'm not sure, if this legal. I suggest, you mail the debian-legal mailinglist about the "OpenDivX license". Xine is an example for DVD and DeCSS. You have to rip the DeCSS completly (since it is (not yet) allowed to opload DeCSS code). Best way is, to make it work without DeCSS (there are unencoded DVDs! Two of my three DVDs are unencoded). You got a lot of work to do. ;) Bye, Alain -- "One day, computer power will eventually outstrip demand, and OS engineers will be free to use friendly languages like LISP again.. until then, I think we're stuck with C." -- Oliver Xymoro pgpvgPhFzgdUt.pgp Description: PGP signature

The latest patches for 2.2 were based on the 2.2 kernel with the kdb. The kdb patch won't be needed, but it would be some work to get ext3 running without the kdb patch, I guess - but it's work that can be done without being a kernel hacker. But in general I would say the 2.4 kernel patches would be more usefull, since everybody wants to use 2.4. Both patches work fine for me...

The server is event-driven and manages all user objects as well as the communication between the connected clients. Different from most other cooperation tools is the novel possibility of self-organisation and self-administration by the members within the virtual environment. In the core, the system provides the following self-administrating functions: * creation of rooms * granting of admission or access authorisations * administration and processing of objects or references to objects and documents located on other servers * carrying objects and passing them on to other users * use of rooms as cooperative media (e.g. Shared Whiteboard) a more detailed description can be found on the website: http://www.open-steam.org/ -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10marvin+skas-skas3-v7 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

We need it, because we use it as a backend in a PHP based website. There are clients for the Zaurus and Java available. There also seems to be another client written in Pike, but I don't know the status. Bye, Alain -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#224286: Any news on this?
Is there any news on this? I doubt that you can actually contact all the authors and get them to agree to license their work DFSG free. Actually only a part might be enough though. Also there currently is no way to download this file anywhere on the web, beside through a paid fileplanet account. I got that file and actually textures are missing, if you don't have the original game data. Due to the file not openly available, no license being attached to the actual mod files and missing textures, I'd say this bug should be closed. Bye, Alain -- We are born naked, wet, and hungry.

I think it is a) incompatible with the GPL, and as it links with at least Qt, this makes Orange indistributable. b) senseless, because if Orange is used in a scientific publication they have to be mentioned anyways - maybe not with this exact paper, but I am confident everybody uses that exact paper if they do not oblige the users, but ask them to use this paper - not another.
