 It's in Debian unstable since half a year:
 http://packages.qa.debian.org/libv/libv8.html
 
  and yes, for now chromium-browser will use its libv8 and i dont have plans 
  for uploading
  the standalone package until that has stabilized.
 
 Is the Chrome version of libv8 forked from the version of v8 in the
 archive?
 

no, but libv8 is getting bumped too quickly to use the system lib.

  After a quick look to their release blog, I noted a lot of announcement
  for the dev tree, but not for the stable tree.
  Anyway could you explain your plans for chromium in Debian please? When
  do you intend to upload it in unstable or experimental?
  
  BTW, yesterday I uploaded gyp.
 
 FWIW, I concur with Alexander Sack. We should not yet include Chromium in
 Squeeze. Let's give it some time to settle down and observe if it's actually
 maintainable. The issues raised by both Alexander and Tom Callaway of Fedora
 seem very credible to me. If Chromium in Squeeze+1 can be build with the
 system copy of webkit, that's an added bonus.
 
 Likewise, we shouldn't include libv8 yet (or exclude it from security 
 support).

Yeah, in any case we might want to get this in experimental/unstable so we get 
a feeling
how this can be maintained. Also having this beast NEWed is probably a good 
start ;).

and yes, for now chromium-browser will use its libv8 and i dont have plans for

 Thanks and already accepted (interesting to see some packages can go fast ;)
 I guess nothing prevent to upload a package to experimental now.

OK, I will make this happen over weekend. Will add Guiseppe as an Uploader ...

 Hello
 
 Thanks for adding gyp into sid so far.
 
  Many Debian users prefers to use Google Chrome repository.
 
 I'm not sure many Debian users prefer to use non-debian repositories. For
 me and our users it's definitely not the case, we prefer to use
 Debian repositories exclusively, and our own where we add other packages
 that are not available in Debian ourselves. Simply because we rely and need
 Debian security updates in some managed (monitored with hobbit, and manually
 checked if all went fine) for our well over a hundred workstations.


I agree, that we want chromium in archive ... having external solutions only is
not in the spirit of debian imo.

The problem is that chromium browser cannot be maintained in a debian

Let's wait how bad it blows up once ubuntu lucid enters stable release mode.

Just for the record, I don't want to stand in anyones way; however, the package
is as ready as it can be; the problem is really on upstream release process.

It's completely unclear when to release and what to release and that is what
we are trying out in ubuntu lucid. Most likely we will get out of this that
we need to work with upstream on something better.

One example: If you look at the release channels, you will notice that
there are two releases a week in average or something. Not real releases,tags
or anything like that. The problem here is that chromium uses a continuous

 Let's get it through NEW first.
 
 A few comments. Note that I am neither a mentor for you, nor someone
 who imposes preferences through sponsorship, but I do like to put
 care into packages. Thus, the following comments are not criticisms
 and because that's how I do things is an acceptable answer in all
 cases.

That's ok. I could definitly be more loving about packaging details
:). However, suggestions welcome!


 
 - /usr/lib/connman/scripts/dhclient* should really go to /usr/share,
   don't you think?

Yes, thats probably the accurate place to ship it, but i never saw the
point for going through maintenance overhead if the amount of files
isn't significant enough and they are not shipped in an arch all
-common package at all.

 
 - any reason you didn't use debhelper to install/remove/invoke the
   initrd scripts?


Out of habits I would think. Also I felt more comfortable to implement
what it does than to buy some magic.

 
 - Is it intentional that you have Debian/Ubuntu addresses as
   maintainer/uploader?

That's basically a work vs. spare time conflict I try to avoid. Most
time I put into connman is done during my worktime so I decided to
keep the credits there.

 
 - http://moblin.org/projects/connection-manager is the homepage, not
   just moblin.org, right?


You are absolutely right. When i started this package there was no
real clear direction upstream and they changed their homepage a few
times now. The new and hopefully final homepage is
http://connman.net/

Filed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402998


 
 - Is there a Vcs-Browser?

ATM, you should be able to just go to the Vcs-Bzr location with a
browser. You can use the same url for branching and the web. Anyway, I
will think about splitting it up in future.

Filed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/402999

 
 - does the short description have to mention Intel?
 
 - I'd change the capitalisation.
 
 - Maybe the long description could be rephrased to be a little bit
   more Debian-centric? After all, this is for Debian/Ubuntu, not
   Moblin, right?

I used the description published by Moblin at the time I did the
initial package. This has changed now so we could update short and
long description based on what is on connman.net. I don't consider
myself an outstanding package description author, so please go ahead
and submit text snippets suitable; but dont go for a too debian/ubuntu
centric approach as there are more unnamed downstreams that might want
to reuse our package description. ;).

Filed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/403001

 
 - The Standards-Version is up to 3.8.2 I think.

Right, I am usually lame about standard versions.

 
 - nice work on debian/copyright. I still prefer the old format, but
   I can see how this is beneficial.
 
 - How does your version numbering scheme work? 0.30+git.1.5b69740e1
   Have you considered just using the git-describe output, like I did
   e.g. for mdadm: 3.0~devel3-43-g2800528-1


the used scheme is basically implemented in debian/rules ... it allows
you to do snapshots and tags. We use some variant of that approach in
other packages as well. I haven't checked git-describe, but I am not
sure how feasible that is as we regularly package up git snapshots
that have no tags.

 
 I'll upload tonight, whether I hear from you or not.
 

Thanks,

 I think it's way more important to concentrate on the core first.
 Applets and anything else GUI are totally secondary in my world.
 Let's get connman working on Debian on the command-line and then let
 people write applets if they want.
 
  Also i believe that the NEW queue will take a time, but maybe
  debconf can make that happen too. I will be in #debian-devel all

 Will you be there? I am sure I can help by bribing someone when

I had hope that the debian system would come up, but it didnt for 24h

  I had hope that the debian system would come up, but it didnt for
  24h now so I cannot reach my machine until Thu late at night
  - which is when i could do this at first. If you would be willing
  to sponsor ;), I can prepare source packages though.
 
 Sure I could do that.
 

Recent snapshot post 0.23 is available from
http://people.debian.org/~asac/connman/

Upstream seems to be in quite impressive release frequency atm, they
release every other day. We will probably package up 0.30 tomorrow, so
if you can wait, I can upload 0.30 or 0.31 (if that happens till
tomorrow :)).

But feel free to play with this and check if you have anything - let
me know.

 It would be nice if you could upload the latest connman before
 DebConf starts on Friday.
 

Yes, I can upload it later today. The bad news is that the applet was
abandoned upstream - at least for now as they focus on mutter/netbook
applet called carrick.

Also i believe that the NEW queue will take a time, but maybe debconf
can make that happen too. I will be in #debian-devel all the time if
there are problems with the review etc. and follwoing up swiftly would
help.

 Hi Alexander,

 And it seems two months past already after you said you will upload
 this into debian ASAP.
 
 Does any pending problem to upload it to debian?

 I'm not sure this is a good idea you jump in on xulrunner. Because that
 would mean more work for you, and I know you already have enough work,
 and that would also mean the mozilla team would basically not grow.
 
 Moreover, I'm not sure I will be able to keep my promise of actually
 stopping to maintain it...
 

dude, if thats the case then don't orphan it :) ... or at least tell
me offline that you want to use this O: to attract contributors rather
than giving it away.

In the end I still have the dream to eliminate one huge duplication of
work - which xulrunner is imo. If we could share sources packages here
and there it would be a huge win imo.

Bug#475022: ITP: connman - Linux Connection Manager

2008-04-08 Thread Alexander Sack
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2008-04-08
Severity: wishlist

Package name : connman
Upstream Author : Intel Corporation
License : GPL
Homepage : http://www.moblin.org/projects/projects_connman.php
Description :
 The Linux Connection Manager project provides a daemon for managing
 Internet connections within embedded devices running the Linux
 operating system. The Connection Manager is designed to be slim and to
 use as few resources as possible, so it can be easily integrated in
 other Moblin-based embedded systems. It is fully modular system that
 can be extended through plug-ins, to support all kinds of wired or
 wireless technologies. Also, configuration methods like DHCP and
 domain name resolving are implemented using plug-ins. The plug-in
 approach allows for easy adaption and modification for various use cases.

 The project currently contains the following components:

* connman The core Connection Manager daemon (connmand) and
plug-ins for Ethernet, WiFi, DHCP, and resolvconf.
* connman-gnome The GTK+-based user interfaces for an applet and a
properties dialog.

 Connection Manager uses modern infrastructure like D-Bus, HAL, and
 netlink to provide a native integration into the operating
 system. While HAL and netlink are used on the system level to
 communicate with networking devices, the whole separation between
 system daemon and user interface is done through D-Bus.

 At the moment the following extra components or applications are required:

 * wpa_supplicant (with D-Bus extensions) for WiFi access
 * dhclient for the DHCP plug-in
 * resolvconf for the domain name resolver plug-in
 * libgdbus for D-Bus and GLib integration (provided by the project
 itself)

Sorry, still working on the final security patches. Its because my

 I have a set of patches for seamonkey, and a set of changes I want to do
 to the files that are currently in the collab-maint svn, according to
 the patches. I also have 4 or 5 patches that need porting to seamonkey,
 i.e. take the idea and do the same with the seamonkey specific build

 default.xpm which only applies to the xulrunner/ subdirectory of
 xulrunner, but for which the issue is also in all others mozilla
 products, but at a different place, with a possibly different fix)
 
 Please tell me where I should put all these before leaving, so that you

Can you please upload them somewhere for now? When do you leave on

 Being myself maintainer of xulrunner and co-maintainer of firefox, I can
 give a hand if necessary. I think Alexander Sack, who has worked on mozilla
 security updates wouldn't mind giving some advices too.
 
 If it appears that noone is working on that, I'll take over the ITPs and
 upload a seamonkey package by the end of september (I think), but I first
 need to know if someone is doing something or not, to avoid duplication of

 Thanks for your attention.

I already offered to take over ITP ... but

 actually someone working on it ? Are there any preliminary packages ?
 
 Being myself maintainer of xulrunner and co-maintainer of firefox, I can
 give a hand if necessary. I think Alexander Sack, who has worked on mozilla
 security updates wouldn't mind giving some advices too.
 
 If it appears that noone is working on that, I'll take over the ITPs and
 upload a seamonkey package by the end of september (I think), but I first
 need to know if someone is doing something or not, to avoid duplication of
 efforts.
 
 Thanks for your attention.
 
 Mike

Bug#350740: seamonkey for etch ?

 Well, in the current state, it still requires a lot of work to split the
 package in smaller parts like mozilla, and add transition packages. It
 would also be necessary to port most of the patches from xulrunner to
 make it work on all debian architectures.

Hmm... so should we take this over to make things happen faster? What
do you mean by port most of the patches from xulrunner ... won't
they apply cleanly?

So maybe we want to use seamonkey to see how good team maintainence
for mozillas can work? Jaldhar would you agree to set
[EMAIL PROTECTED] as the maintainer and
list all that contribute explicitly as co-maintainer?

Mike, what do you think about it?

  Mike, what do you think about it?
 
 I think this is a great idea. It would be a preliminary step for me to
 turn the xulrunner maintainance into a team one, which i'd like to see
 happen, but not before I've clearly documented the whys and the hows of
 the xulrunner packaging, which a team maintainance of seamonkey will
 help me doing. I hope to be able to switch xulrunner to a team
 maintainance soon after the etch release, then we'll be able to
 experiment building the other mozilla applications on top of it, which,
 by then, should almost be officially supported upstream.
 

OK, so lets discuss some basics like preferred package layout
etc. Please comment and object:

 + package layout: upstream orig.tar.gz (no embedded tarball) ... but
 separate patches included (dpatch or something)

 + packages needed:
   + all current mozilla application equivalents + the -dev, but
   without libxxx packages.
   + a dbg package ... I want to see a dbg for all mozilla packages we
   have in etch. I will reupload a thunderbird build which I cancelled
   previously because I wanted security fixes to go into etch
   first.

 + maintenance place:
   + svn used by jaldhar?
   + complete checkin ... deflated

 + initial work-load:
   + mike reviews his patches clears up which ones are needed for
   archs, build system etc.
   + I move package to layout (orig.tar.gz + patches) as mentioned
   above (or whatever we decide to use)
   + anyone who has time does the work to tweak configure options and
   debhelper files to produce the packages mentioned above. We can
   either split this up in front or just first comes first serves?

Anything important I missed?

Bug#350740: seamonkey packaging

2006-07-21 Thread Alexander Sack
Alex, if you still are willing to (co-)maintain it, I would offer to
take over lead of team-maintainenance and prepare the intial package.

As as soon as you got used to packaging debian stuff, you can of
course take over the package completely ... if you want.

Is this good with you?

If you are interested, contact me through pm or jabber ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Hmm, I thought about that, but since this is just some random alpha 
release I rather stick to experimental. Once 0.3 final is out ... I will
reconsider uploading to unstable.

Anyway, sunbird is in queue-new, so good news :).

Indeed, there is a release :) ... I will package it and see if their

Bug#266824: really experimental sunbird calendar package available

2005-05-10 Thread Alexander Sack
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

Just uploaded a sunbird package to my experimental p.d.o. archive. It is still
not in a shape suitable for debian, but since upstream is quite a big step away
from a releasable state too, I have no problems with releasing this snapshot
today in such an experimental shape ... at least it works a bit :)

The apt line you need:

   deb http://people.debian.org/~asac/experimental ./

The package you (maybe not) want:

   sunbird - (so no mozilla- prefix :) )

Please read my annoucement [1] for infos on how to get started and please
remember to *not* use this for important things you really depend on.

Oh, and there are some screenshots [2] too.

BTW, I was not able to extract a good orig.tar.gz from upstreams archive. Hence,
I did not upload the really bloated 60 MB full mozilla tree source tarball that
I used to build this package from. Anyone interested in the diff, just drop a 
mail.

Nope ... upstream did a mess with gtk2  support in the 0.2 release of the
standalone app.  The current HEAD is completely broken (they currently do a
major rewrite of the backend).

I must admit that for me it appears that it might be good to take a look at
lightning - the thunderbird calendar extension. Maybe it is in a similar good
state as mozilla calendar - actually usable.

Yes, I plan to produce the mozilla-sunbird binaries. Currently I am not sure

mozilla-thunderbird sources. Will let you know within the next weeks

Yup, I have debs of 7-zip.
But I am still looking for sponsors (even if I didn't ask on

If you find a sponsor for it, tell me.

 


Downloadable? I would like to take a look at it! Are you in the NM queue?
