Why not contrib? A B-D: nvidia-cuda-toolkit does not require the package 
to be in non-free. BTW, please B-D: nvidia-cuda-toolkit-gcc instead.

The pkg-giraffe-team is happy to offer help and guidance for interested
people which want to work on kopanocore (and also on related packages)
within Debian.


Can you move the git repository to the /debian space on salsa.d.o?
That would help anyone picking up the package.
I might do a QA upload applying the FTBFS patches sitting in the BTS, 
nothing more ;-)


Thanks.

Would it be useful to place these packages under the umbrella of
  Maintainer: Debian OpenCL Maintainers 

There is more in ROCm than just OpenCL, but I don't know a better 
fitting team ...


Given that there are third-party Debian packages out in the wild, we 
should ensure that upgrades from third-party packages to official Debian 
packages (and maybe vice versa) work smoothly. Which means packaging 
updates probably need to be propagated back to the third-party 
packaging. (An *no* use of epochs to be newer than the third-party 
packages!)


(I had used the third-party ROCm packages on a Debian system in the 
past, and IIRC it worked surprisingly well after I figured out that we 
already had a recent enough kernel to not need the out-of-tree kernel 
module bits.)

Can you push the changes and tag from the -5 upload, please?

And could you try to move the package on salsa from your personal 
namespace to the 'debian' or 'hpc-team' namespace? (I think that should 
be Settings -> General -> Advanced -> Transfer project, but I have never 
used it.) There is no need to do an upload to update the Vcs URLs.

I don't plan to switch to the packaged libglvnd without mesa adopting it
as well. Also in the current form (everything in a single package) I
cannot use it as a drop-in replacement for the glvnd libraries from
nvidia (where I follow a strict one library per package scheme).
For the mesa side the question will be: will it be a complete switch
over or will there be the possibility to switch between non-glvnd and
glvnd based libGL etc.? NVIDIA currently provides both variants for
libGL and libEGL, since the glvnd variants have shown some regressions
(but I don't know in which applications). For the nvidia driver I
provide both variants with the glvnd variant being the preferred
alternative.

Please keep the Debian NVIDIA Maintainers in the loop if there is
progress being made on the MESA side.

  Description : generic tool for displaying a multi-dimensional performance

 Cube, which is used as performance report explorer for Scalasca and
 Score-P, is a generic tool for displaying a multi-dimensional
 performance space consisting of the dimensions (i) performance metric,
 (ii) call path, and (iii) system resource. Each dimension can be
 represented as a tree, where non-leaf nodes of the tree can be
 collapsed or expanded to achieve the desired level of granularity. In
 addition, Cube can display multi-dimensional Cartesian process
 topologies.

 The Cube 4.x series report explorer and the associated Cube4 data
 format is provided for Cube files produced with the Score-P performance
 instrumentation and measurement infrastructure or the Scalasca version
 2.x trace analyzer (and other compatible tools). However, for backwards
 compatibility, Cube 4.x can also read and display Cube 3.x data. 


I need Cube as a dependency for packaging Score-P.

I don't really know what hdf5 is ... :-) but I remember working on
fixing upgrade issues for wheezy (got this into wheezy after all?) and
having some ideas how this could be improved in general ...

Looking at the git repository, this seems to miss a lot of tags. If you
have some unpushed tags lying around, please push them. Otherwise they
need to be reconstructed ...

I don't want to maintain HDF5, but I could help fixing some issues.

Bug#702243: ITP: papi: --> papi-examples

2013-04-06 Thread Andreas Beckmann
Hi Vincent,

the papi-examples package contains the prebuilt binaries, but they are
not really useful:
* statically linked (=> huge Installed-Size: 39582 [amd64])
* missing executable bit
* gzip compressed

I'd suggest shipping them dynamically linked, executabel and
uncompressed - or not at all, just ship the source and let the user
build them.

The source code is missing some parts to be useful (i.e. you can't
compile the examples without these):
* Makefile
* papi_test.h (which is being searched in ../testlib)
* the testlib content: Makefile clockcore.c do_loops.c dummy.c
  papi_test.h test_utils.c test_utils.h

Andreas

PS: more packing bugs will be found as I do more tests with papi :-)

  Description : a better reporting tool for i7, i5, i3 CPUs

i7z is a tool to report CPU information about TurboBoost, frequencies,
multipliers, ... and a top-like display for the current frequency,
temperature and time spent in the C0/C1/C3/C6/C7 states.

There is also a i7z_rw_registers script that allows toggling Turbo mode
or set multipliers.

It comes wiht a GUI (written in QT), but that has not been updated for
SandyBridge/IviBridge CPUs.

I plan to put the packaging into collab-maint. Or is there a team that
would like to include that package under its umbrella?

Sounds intersting. A few of them are already reported by piuparts, but I
could consider replacing them by an adequate test run there, too (with a
--root option, like we do with debsums). Having a "lightweight" tool
(compared to running piuparts locally) to check for these issues sounds
like a good idea.

Nice too see some progress :-)

Are there any problems you encounter with the nvidia driver packaging in
Debian? Please also test with nvidia-kernel-common and glx-alternative-*
from experimental (they change the kernel module blacklist handling to
be controlled with the glx alternatives, a update-initramfs call may be
needed in addition to update-alternatives, but therefore you can disable
the blacklist without manually doing rm or dpkg --purge).

One of the goals of the current packaging is usability in live systems -
having all the proprietary drivers co-installable and allow them to be
installed but deactivated, so that some (yet to be written) utility
could detect hardware, switch alternatives, and create X config.
It would be nice if bumblebee would somehow integrate in this.
(Disclaimer: I don't do anything -live myself.)

I don't really care - optimus, primus, bumblebee, ... is stuff I'm
(currently) not being interested in - but I appreciate your work on
these things.

I welcome everyone working on something related to (proprietary) Nvidia
stuff to join the team, and publish packages either under the team
umbrella or separately. Time will show whether some piece of contrib
software will find more general use (e.g. src:khronos-opencl-headers
moved to main, but that does not mean we need to kick out of the team -
but if a more suitable team comes around we could hand it over ...)

Being a member of a team does not mean you have to care about every
package managed by the team ... but it may simplify discussion and
sponsoring.

If that is compatible with all the implementations, couldn't we just
call it libopencl1? (+Conflicts/Replaces: libopencl1)
And there should be a corresponding libopencl1-dev package, too.
As that's probably what users need for their OpenCL applications.

currently nvidia-libopencl1 [non-free] and amd-libopencl1 [non-free]

That's not a proper unpacked source directory.
But yes, we should probably add something to README.source explaining
how to build from git.

We could also add

override_dh_autobuild:
test -d i386 && test -d amd64 || \
( echo source not unpackaged ; exit 1 )

I don't know a good replacement for the mergwithupstream mode from
svn-buildpackage. How can something similar be done with git?
I don't really want to add the unpacked blobs to git (at least as long
as pristine-tar does not cope well with multiple source tarballs).

As I only tested the build process with pbuilder (pdebuild) this was
working fine for me because it first creates a source package (warning
about a lot of ignored deletions) and thereafter has a complete source
tree ...

Bug#649514: nvidia-cg-toolkit: should this package be orphaned?

2012-05-24 Thread Andreas Beckmann
Hi Miguel,

a heavily shuffled, merged, rebased and cleaned up branch can be found here:

git://github.com/anbe42/nvidia-cg-toolkit.git prepare-3.1v2

History is arranged to continuously build working packages as commits
fly by and changelog was rewritten to match.

I'm going to do some upgrade tests before I push this to git.d.o

Please test if this still works as expected.

I also fixed the hardening, --as-needed, and lintian issues.

I removed the Replaces as there were no file conflicts dpkg would have
to handle. Breaks is sufficient to get rid of the old package.

Please don't drop DMUA or trailing comma on Uploaders.

If this package is fine fou you,
  dch -r && git commit && push to github somewhere && update mentors

Nvidia also offers a .deb package 'nvidia-cg-toolkit' that would
conflict with our split up package if a user would upgrade from our new
packaging to this package. (It also comes with some insanities like
/usr/lib64.) Do we want to handle this somehow?

Nvidia had released a lot of updates ... that got priority :-)
Thereafter I've been offline for a good week and now I need to catch up

I'd like to give nvidia-cg-toolkit a review, but probably only at the

Why can't these java package(s) just be not built on "non-java"
architectures?

I just looked around a bit around with
  build-rdeps openjdk-6-jdk
and then ran rmadison on randomly selected resulting packages to find
some that have Arch: any packages in addition to the java ones ... First
hit was
  swi-prolog
You may want to take a look at their approach to combine building both
Arch: any and *-java packages from one source. It seems to boil down to
make the java package(s) Arch: some instead of Arch: all.

IIRC splitting source packages to create multiple source packages (or
reintroducing copies of the same source in the archive) is not recommended.

I'm pretty sure the problem of Arch: all packages being not buildable on
all architectures (because some build-deps(-indep) are not available on
all architectures) has been discussed before.

I still offer to maintain the package (or co-maintain it with Dmitry).
But I don't have any NIC that requires r8168 (on a quick glance I didn't
even find anything using r8169), so I can't test beyond module compilation.

If you want to see it rather in non-free than in main, please say so.

I just revived my old ITP http://bugs.debian.org/642198

Only git://git.debian.org/~anbe-guest/r8168.git seems to work so far.

One possible solution I see would be to upload r8168 to sid (or
experimental) and add a severity=serious bug "r8168 should not enter
testing - let's fix r8169 in the kernel instead" to prevent migration.
Documentation should include detailed instructions how to properly
report bugs for the in-kernel r8169 if it does not work (but r8168 does).

Do I see it correctly that this driver is to be classified as non-free?
The source code says "GPL2+", but 50% of the source lines is something like
mdio_write(tp, 0x1E, 0x0078);
making this look very 'blobby'.

 r8168 is the Linux device driver released for RealTek RTL8168B/8111B,

 RTK8168E/8111E Gigabit Ethernet controllers with PCI-Express interface.
 .
 This driver should only used for devices not yet supported by the in-kernel
 driver r8169.
 .
 This package provides the dkms source code for the r8168 kernel modules.
 Kernel source or headers are required to compile these modules.

I just came along this in #debian last week, helping someone to get this
module built and installed (upstream build system does not work properly
on kernel 3.x) because the in-kernel module r8169 did not support his
NIC.

I did this package just as a first experiment with dkms, the module
builds fine with squeeze and sid kernels. I don't have the hardware to
actually test it. So if someone who actually needs it wants to take over
maintainership, he is welcome.

I'm not yet sure what to put into this package ...

I hope some vendor would release a free version of these libraries -
like nvidia did with libvdpau1. It's just a generic wrapper, not an
implentation.

libopencl1 is just a generic loader and can use any implementation (the
icd packages).

Unfortunately nvidia and amd implementations are not identical (symbol
versioning etc.) and the amd one seems to work a bit better with amd
than nvidia-libopencl1. nvidia icd seems to work the same with both
implemntations. (the oclinfo program from amd crashed at some point with
nvidia-libopencl1)

That was the idea behind OpenCL and my packaging.

May be a good idea. But finally we would need some shlibs magic to map
the dependency on -libopencl1 to libopencl1.

  Programming Lang: Header files for C, C++
  Description : OpenCL (Open Computing Language) header files

 OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is a multi-vendor open standard for
 general-purpose parallel programming of heterogeneous systems that include
 CPUs, GPUs and other processors.
 .
 This package provides the development header files for the OpenCL API 1.0
 as published by The Khronos Group Inc. The corresponding specification and
 documentation can be found on the Khronos website.

I plan to put this header package into main (because the headers are
free) and not contrib (even if currently only non-free vendor
implementations of OpenCL are available). The hope is there will be a
free version of the "wrapper library" libOpenCL.so.1 some day. The same
happened recently for libvdpau1.

A subset of these headers is currently distributed with
nvidia-libopencl1-dev in non-free but NVIDIA will stop shipping them in
the next driver release (because they are also shipped in the NVIDIA
CUDA Toolkit - which I ITPed as nvidia-cuda-toolkit, #581184 and is
currently waiting in NEW). So I think moving to a free source for the
headers now is a good idea :-) There is currently one package
(python-pyopencl/contrib) that can use OpenCL without requiring
nvidia-cuda-toolkit (just needs the headers and some libOpenCL.so.1).

I'll start providing the headers for API 1.0 and switch to 1.1 once
nvidia-graphics-drivers (>= 260) (which implements 1.1) is in
unstable/non-free (or experimental/non-free).

OpenCL support needs packages from nvidia-graphics-drivers 195.36.24-2
and will be fully functional with 195.36.24-3 (not yet uploaded).

Please give it a try and see if you can build your dependent packages now.

As I understand it, both libvdpau_trace.so and libvdpau_$VENDOR.so (with
$VENDOR = nvidia for now) are "plugins", dlopen()ed from libvdpau.so.1
(and have no proper versioning like most plugins).

So if the wrapper can be patched to search in a subdirectory of /usr/lib
(and /usr/lib32 or /usr/lib64 where appropriate) both the trace library
and the vendor implementation can be moved out of /usr/lib{,32,64}

For the subdirectory something like just /usr/lib/vdpau or
/usr/lib/vdpau-$PLUGINABI might be a better choice, as the interface
(version number) of the vdpau wrapper might evolve while staying "plugin
compatible" (using some kind of capability interface).
Or /usr/lib/vdpau for the vendor implementation, /usr/lib/libvdpau1 for
the trace library/plugin (which will always match the wrapper library
because they are supplied by the same package, so no ABI issues at all
involving the trace library)

BTW, what about building a lib32vdpau1 package on amd64, too? This will
be needed by libvdpau*-nvidia-ia32. Or are there chances to get
libvdpau1 into ia32-libs(-whatever) in time?

Bug#481858: packaging App::SVN::Bisect with dh-make-perl

2008-06-18 Thread Andreas Beckmann
Hi,

building a App::SVN::Bisect package is quite easy using dh-make-perl
(from the dh-make-perl package).

Just run
dh-make-perl --cpan App::SVN::Bisect
and change to the newly created folder App-SVN-Bisect-0.4

Now edit the debian/control file (created by dh-make-perl) and add the
following to Build-Depends-Indep:
libio-all-perl, libyaml-perl, subversion
and to Depends:
subversion

Now you can build the package with debuild.

Bug#452750: icedtea-java7: building the Ubuntu package on Debian while it's not yet in the Debian archive

2008-01-28 Thread Andreas Beckmann
Hi,

since icedtea ist still in NEW, but a coworker wants to test a 64bit
java plugin (actually just any java plugin that works in his 64bit
browser) I just rebuilt the Ubuntu package (7~b24-1.5+20080118-1) in a
testing/unstable pbuilder environment (regenerated debian/control first)
and will let him test tomorrow.

While building, I made the following observations (and fixes):

* Build-Depends:
  I had to switch to 'libungif4-dev | libgif-dev', otherwise I end up
  with a package that conflicts with a lot of packages due to libgif4.

* section assignment:
  icedtea-java7-plugin probably should be in 'web', not 'devel'

Everything else seemed to work fine, besides that

* It uses a huge amount of space while building ...

(and now I have a 15 GB ramdisk on /tmp)

Bug#406992: virtualbox FTBFS

2007-07-08 Thread Andreas Beckmann

Hi all,

after several more tries, I finally could compile virtualbox (in a 
pbuilder sid i386 environment).


The following changes were neccessary
* drop Build-Depends: gcc-3.4, g++-3.4
* drop 01-compiler.dpatch, 02-kernel.dpatch
* add a Depends: kbuild to virtualbox-source

Concerning the kernel headers: It looks like the kernel headers of the 
currently running kernel is needed. Using a different set, e.g. 
2.6.18-4-686 or 2.6.21-2-k7 instead of the running 2.6.21-2-k7-686 
results in some undefined symbols (sorry, can't tell which, didn't save 
a log).

So I did the following:
* add Build-Depends: linux-header-2.6-all
and in debian/rules I set
* ./configure --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r`
Unfortunetly, the requires the buildds to run the latest sid kernel in 
order to be able to compile virtualbox.


I also tried to compile virtualbox from the svn trunk: 
03-configure.dpatch needed to be rediffed, but afterwards everything 
went without problems.



And now: I'm gonna try it :-)

Bug#406992: virtualbox FTBFS

2007-06-28 Thread Andreas Beckmann
Hi,

since virtualbox is still stuck in the NEW queue, I tried to build it
myself for i386 from the pkg-virtualbox subversion repository with a
tarball repackaged according to the instructions in
debian/README.rebuild and found the following problems (using a sid
pbuilder environment):

* it lacks a Build-Depends: libhal-dev
* somewhere a hard coded yasm path pointing to tools/linux.x86/bin/yasm
  is used, i fixed this by creating this directory and a symlink there
  to /usr/bin/yasm in debian/rules
* it seems to look for kernel headers in /usr/src/linux
  after several tries to use the ones in /usr/include I still got
  missing headers and finally gave up.
  The configure option --with-linux=... seemed not to work.
  The following patch helped a bit: in Config.kmk set
 export VBOX_LINUX_SRC   := /usr

The buildds probably will fail with the same errors.

Is there a pkg-virtualbox developer mailinglist? Since I couldn't find
one I attach this information to the ITP.
