Bug#266022: Want help?
I'm happy to sponsor an initial upload for you, and look over your package. If you're bored of it, I can easily package it myself instead. -- Andrew Stribblehill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems programmer, IT Service, University of Durham, England

Bug#196200: Shouldn't we remove request-tracker from the archive ?
Quoting Pierre Machard [EMAIL PROTECTED] (2003-08-05 13:21:41 BST): Hello, I am sending you this e-mail because Jamie Wilkinson was interested by adopting request-tracker. It seems that Andrew Stribblehill and Stephen Quinney are already maintaining a package nammed request-tracker3. Could you confim that the package nammed request-tracker3 include the lastest release of request-tracker? If Yes, what do you think about asking for a remove of request-tracker? Yes, rt3 (request-tracker 3) is the latest version. However, its database schema is incompatible with that of rt2 so it can't just take over the package named request-tracker. I don't think rt2 should be removed just yet, because I expect more people use rt2 than rt3 still. I'm not totally decided, so please feel free to argue this with me ;) -- Andrew Stribblehill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems programmer, IT Service, University of Durham, England
Bug#201561: ITP: elfutils -- Tools to read from and write to ELF files

Also included are numerous helper libraries which implement DWARF, ELF, and machine-specific ELF handling. . Each binary will be prefixed with 'eu-' to disambiguate them from the GNU binutils' programs.

Also included are numerous helper libraries which implement DWARF, ELF, and machine-specific ELF handling. And the point of this would be? I mean, I certainly don't object to you packaging this, but I've no idea why I would want to install it, given binutils. Fair question! This package's strip program allows you to strip out debugging symbols, _putting them in a separate file_. This can be used by gdb at a later date for debugging a stripped binary as if it weren't stripped. No extra arguments to gdb need be provided either, as far as I can tell. Then I can provide a package foo with an adjunct, foo-debug or foo-dbg (which will depend on foo). It looks to be a neater solution than having two separate incompatible packages called foo and foo-dbg. I freely admit, I got the idea from Red Hat. They provide foo-debuginfo RPMs for virtually every package, I believe. -- VIKING EASTERLY 3 OR 4, OCCASIONALLY 5 IN SOUTH. FAIR. MAINLY GOOD

Hello Andrew, I'd just like to ask why you intend on creating a new package for request-tracker version 3. The upgrade between version 2 and version 3 is fairly trivial, and upstream provide tools that do this. In my opinion, the upgrade is not as easy as you might think for users who have added extra scrips and customised things. The upgrade tool is not distributed with RT3 because it's not considered production quality. Unless the upgrade happens easily and transparently we're doing the users a disservice. Give them the choice and they can upgrade at a time of their choosing. -- Andrew Stribblehill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems programmer, IT Service, University of Durham, England pgpF1suqZruXp.pgp Description: PGP signature

Bug#118726: ITP: cfengine2 -- Tool for configuring and maintaining network machines
Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2001-11-08 Severity: wishlist * Package name: cfengine2 Version : 2.0.a14 Upstream Author : Mark Burgess [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.cfengine.org/ * License : GPL version 2 Description : Tool for configuring and maintaining network machines This package contains an ALPHA version of cfengine version 2. The author claims that it's at least as stable as cfengine 1.6 but your milage may vary. . The main purpose of cfengine is to allow the system administrator to create a single central file which will define how every host on a network should be configured. . cfengine is also useful as an interpreter for a general scripting language for ordinary users. It is handy for tidying up junk files and for maintaining `watchdog' scripts to manage access rights and permissions on files when collaborating with other users. . It takes a while to set up cfengine for a network (especially an already existing network), but once that is done you will wonder how you ever lived without it! I've spoken with Tollef Fog Heen, the maintainer of the 'cfengine' package, and he's happy for me to do this.
