  Description : library for using Lua scripts from Python

This package has been in Debian before. It was removed in 2017.

It has now been updated to use Lua 5.4, and is fully functional again.

The long description is:
 This module provides an interface for using Lua scripts from Python.
 From Python, it allows complete access to all Lua variables and function. From
 Lua, it allows access to Python variables and functions that were passed to it
 by Python.
 .
 By default, Lua contains several insecure features, such as access to the
 host's file system. This module disables all such features by default. They
 are only enabled if the user passes the corresponding parameters when
 instantiating the Lua class.



Bug#1010013: ITP: python-websocketd -- Python module for creating a http server which uses WebSockets

Yes, it is. They serve a similar purpuse, of course: using WebSockets in Python
programs. But the interface is very different. I'm not familiar with
python-websockets, so I can talk about what python-websocketd does that it
doesn't seem to do.

Python-websocketd attempts to provide RPC functionality, making it work like
the remote object is local. So you need to provide an object to the constructor
(if you want calls to be made by the remote end). Then the remote end can call
member functions of that object and receive the returned value. It can do so
while blocking, or asynchronously. For security (by avoiding accidentally
exposing functionality), data properties and member functions starting with an
underscore cannot be accessed remotely.

  Description : Python module for creating a http server or client which 
uses WebSockets

This module uses the network module to create a server, and implements http(s)
and WebSockets over those connections.  With only 6 lines of code you have a
working system.  You only have to add what you want your server to do.
.
It also provides a client socket, which can be used to communicate with such a
server.

I use this module for many of my networked programs. It requires python-network
(#1010012) and python-fhs (#1010010).

  Description : Python module for easy networking

Implementing networking in C is a pain. Unfortunately, much of that pain is
copied to Python. This module instead tries to follow the "batteries included"
approach, like the rest of Python. With this module, networking is a piece of
cake. It can use tcp sockets and unix domain sockets and supports avahi and ssl
connections without hassle.
.
This module provides a Socket class and a Server class.  The Server creates
Sockets when accepting connections; Sockets can be created by the user to
initiate a connection.  All of this is symmetrical: once the connection is
established, the client and server use the same interface.
.
For providing RPC functionality in a language independent way, see
python3-websocketd.

I use this module for many of my programs, usually in combination with
python-websocketd, for which I'll file an ITP after this. It requires
python-fhs, for which I just filed #1010010.

The FHS and XDG basedir specification defines locations for several files.

override functionality.

I use this for most of my Python programs. It is also depended on by
python-network and python-websocketd, which I will file an ITP for after this.

Bug#706656: ITP: cura -- Controller for 3D printers

2017-09-29 Thread Bas Wijnen
Hi,

Thanks both for getting this moving again!  I was distracted, so didn't reply,
sorry about that.  I agree that the packages are in pretty good shape, and any
problems that they still have can be dealt with after they have moved into
unstable.

If I'm to sponsor the package, I would suggest becoming a DM soon, so you don't
need to wait for me.  As I'm sure you noticed, I tend to be MIA at times.  In
such cases, also please send me a ping if I'm taking long.

Sounds good.

It looks good to me.  The only thing I'm not sure about is "fdm" in the name;
in scientific articles, I've learned to use "fff" (fused filament fabrication),
because "fdm" is trademarked AFAIK.  But it's certainly legal to use it in this
way, and since they've put it in the name, I would just keep it.

Yes, that sounds useful.

Agreed.  First priority is to get Cura into Debian.

I agree this is the best way; my point was that you should not have a
repository on github with a copy of the source, and the watch file should point
to Ultimaker's github.  Having a repository with the packaging is good.  You
can also host that in our team repository on Alioth.  You are a member with
commit access.

It shouldn't.  Worst case, you can remove the bundled files and replace them
with symlinks as part of the build.  But using pkg-config is better; if
anything changes, that will change with it and it will continue to work.

Ah yes, I heard someone talk about that, and was told that it worked, but
getting 2.4 was the easier fix for me. :)

That looks good.  I hope they will respond.  It is bad for users if Debian's
and upstream's SONAMEs are incompatible; if they install something from us and
from online, it will break things.

The important part in terms of compatibility is the SONAME.  So the version of
the package doesn't really matter, but the files and symlinks in /usr/lib
should be properly named, and if possible, the SONAME should be identical to
what upstream uses.

Well, the other option is to say that users can use it directly.  This is a
reasonable thing to say; I'm actually planning to set up some automated slicing
system which uses only the engine, not the gui.  So in that case, it should be
in the executable path, and it should also have a manpage.  For programs like
this, most of that manpage can be the contents of the --help output.

As for the capitals in the filename: I don't think there's a rule against it.
Most programs don't have capitals in them, so you could ask upstream to
consider changing it (but you can also not bother them), but it's not a big
deal, and having the same name as upstream is more important than it being
lowercase.

Hi,

It looks like this has been forgotten?  I would like to get Cura into Debian,
so if there's anything I can do to help, let me know.

I also have some comments on the comments:

To properly handle a lintian warning one of three things can be done:
- - Fix the code so it doesn't trigger the warning anymore.  This should be done
  if lintian is correct.
- - File a bug report against lintian.  This should be done if lintian is wrong,
  and this is not an exceptional case.
- - Add an override to the package.  This should be done if lintian is wrong, 
but
  it is unreasonable to expect lintian to be right in this case.

Leaving bugs in a package because it takes too much work to fix them is
acceptable (nobody can force you to do the work), but for a new package it
makes sense to aim for perfection, so making it initially lintian-clean is
recommended.

A pet peeve of me (which is not applicable here, but I'll take this opportunity
to complain about it anyway) is people who add lintian overrides because they
don't want to fix a bug and are bothered by the warning.  That is
counter-productive, and IMO violates our promise not to hide our problems.  If
you don't want to fix a bug, just say it.  Don't pretend that it is not a bug.
But enough of this; you didn't even do this. :)

> Who still uses a 80-character terminal in this day and age anyway? :)

Not many I suppose, but if we all follow this rule, it may make it easier for
programs to display the information is a good way.  In a case like this, even
if I wouldn't be able to come up with a reason for the rule, I'd fix it anyway
because it's so easy to do.

This is quite confusing, and I would prefer to make it right in Debian.  And of
course try to convince upstream to make it right as well.  I'm not sure if it
generates junk; it might.  You should run piuparts to see if ldconfig creates a
symlink that is not cleaned up on package removal.

Even simpler is to set the debhelper compat level to at least 10.  It will
default to enable all hardening.  (I didn't check the current level, but if it
is 10 and there's no hardening, it must have been explicitly disabled somehow.)

No, you don't need to do that.  As you say, it's not meant to be used directly.
That means two things: it doesn't need a manpage, and it must not be in the
(default) executable path.  So install it under /usr/lib/cura/ or
/usr/lib/cura-engine/ and make sure the cura package calls it from there.

This means you do need to chan

That sounds good!  Is there any reason it isn't merged in upstream KiCad?
Would it make sense to suggest this to them?

(I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't package this; just suggesting an

You'll want to subscribe to the mailing list.  If you tell me your username on
alioth (make one if you don't have one yet), I'll add you as a team member.
You will probably want to read the wiki on our packaging procedures (seems
approximately what you do now, I think).

Hi Gregor,

Thanks for taking this on!  I've been meaning to do that for quite some time,
but didn't get to it so far.

Would you be interested in maintaining it inside the 3-D printer team?

Last time I tried to upload Cura (that was before Uranium, so a lot probably
changed), there were quite a few non-free files in the source.  What I still
needed to do was remove them (none of them were required for building the
package).  Did you check if they are still there, and remove them if so?

I didn't look at the package yet, but already have some feedback to what you
write.  I also CCd the 3-D printer team, so others know this is happening.

Debian doesn't really have preferred licenses.  It is certainly compatible with
the DFSG, some people in Debian hate it and others like it (like me; I use it
for most of my own code).

By the way, is it AGPL3 or AGPL3+?  That is, did they specify "or any later
version"?  If not, that's something to ask if that was intentional.  The
license is acceptable for Debian regardless though.

Sounds good.

I was going to file a request to remove the old package entirely.  It is broken
and there is no reason to fix it; it needs to be replaced with the new version.
Since the old version is much larger than the new one, you can use an epoch
(1:2.1.3) to force this to be a higher version.

With the same name for the package, there is no need for a Breaks:.

Good idea.

Building in the source tree is not a problem in itself, but "debian/rules
clean" should restore or remove all the generated and/or changed files.  That
is, the tree should be identical after "debian/rules clean" and "debuild &&
debian/rules clean".

I hope to try it out soon and let you know.

I can help you with that.  If you choose to maintain it in the 3-D printer
team, others in the team can also help you out with that.

Bug#694157: Kerkerkruip

2014-10-07 Thread Bas Wijnen
(CCing the bug to get this discussion linked in it.)

Hi,

Good job identifying those problems Nils!  Also, they are all minor, so
I'm guessing it should be relatively easy to get this package in shape
for Debian.

On Tue, Oct 07, 2014 at 12:28:08PM +0800, Paul Wise wrote:
> Indeed. Manual page is optional I would think.

Policy 12.1: "Each program, utility, and function should have an
associated manual page included in the same package", so in that sense
it would not be optional.  On the other hand, not having one wouldn't be
an RC-bug (because it says "should", not "must").  So you can make a
package without one, but you should make sure it gets one eventually.

But while we're at it, I'll just vent my opinion: no manual page is
better than an empty one.  If you write a manual page that contains
nothing more than "Hello, this is a manual page because policy says
there should be one", then you're not helping our users.  The program is
still not documented using a manpage, and the lintian bug for it is
appropriate.  Such manual pages are an example of hiding bugs instead of
fixing them, and we shouldn't be doing that.  (SC #3)

Yes.  If the free version works well, we prefer using that, and we don't
reference the non-free version at all.  If it wouldn't work well, we'd
use the non-free version and that means this package would need to be in
contrib (but that doesn't seem to be the case here).

It is quite normal for programs to create configuration in the home when
they are run, and that will remain after uninstalling (but that will
usually be a copy, not a link).  That isn't a problem.  You are correct
that it might be nicer to do it differently (using the system location
as default if the user location doesn't exist), but that is not
required.

But if config file handling is going to be changed anyway, please
consider using the xdg basedir standard, putting them in ~/.config/.
That will help cleaning the dotfile-mess in ~. :-)  (By the way, xdg
basedir also defines that the system path must be used as a fallback,
just like Nils wants.)

Bas

Yes, if you could do that, that would be great!  There's no hurry, it's already

Bug#742704: ImplicitCad in Debian

2014-05-23 Thread Bas Wijnen
Hi,

Someone requested that ImplicitCad be included in Debian.  I'd be the one doing
that, and after checking it out, I must say I'm rather excited about it.  This
has (almost ;-) [1]) all the features that I've been missing in OpenScad.
However, there is a minor issue, which I hope you can help with:

I don't know Haskell.  This means I would make sure the package builds right
and that bug reports are handled (which means fixing the packaging or passing
them to you); Debian's Haskell team has offered to help with the Haskell part,
but they don't want to take over from you.

So what it means is that we need you to continue responding to bug reports and
fixing things when needed.  I really don't know how much work that is; I guess
you know better.

Normally I would just assume that you would do this, but it's been some time
since you last pushed any changes to github, so I'm slightly worried that you
may have abandoned the project.

Can you please let me know the status?

Thanks,
Bas

[1] The one feature which is not in either of them, as far as I could see, is
the 3-D variant of "polygon offsetting": growing or shrinking an object.

Yes, I noticed this as well.  I'll check to see if I can get contact

given that I don't know the language, I don't think that's a good idea

I wasn't aware of this until this request; the web page describes it as
a substitute for OpenSCAD, which is very usable, but with significant
drawbacks, almost all of which this program claims to solve.  A quick
test indicates that this program functions properly; I intend to start
using it instead of OpenSCAD.

Yes, but the bad news is that I've never even seen any Haskell code
before, so some help related to packaging of that is very welcome.

No, this is a prerequisite for the Cura engine.  I thought Slic3r used a
different library, but appearantly I was wrong?  In that case I will need to
have a look at the perl package, because I suppose they have the same source
(I was planning to ignore the perl part and only package the c++ source from
upstream; it contains implementations in many other languages as well).

I can't see it in the repository though; is it already in there?

I have a 6.0.0 package just about ready to upload now; it might still take a
while before I do, though, because I added a pkgconfig file and upstream said
he wanted to include it, so I'll probably let that happen first.

> However, upstream intends to move to clipper 6.0.0 just after its next

Good idea, I think.  When we need it, we can just add a perl binary package
from my source package (some help with packaging would be welcome; I don't
know any perl).

I filed an ITP for this some time ago (#689636).  The problem was that not all
the dependencies were in Debian, so I asked the Perl team to package them.
They have been slowly doing this, and by now I believe all of them are packged.

I have however not yet found the time to prepare a package.  I'm happy that you
want to create one, so I'm merging the ITPs, and set you to own it.

With a few people we have been talking about setting up a 3-D printer packages
team.  I've set up an Alioth project
(https://alioth.debian.org/projects/3dprinter/) for it, which is currently
still empty.  Would you consider maintaining the package as part of that team?
If so, please give me your alioth login and I'll grant you access, so you can
add your packaging to that.

Also, once you have a package I'm happy to sponsor it for you, if you need
that.

I'm currently discussing with the libclipper maintainer about his naming (in

for cura.  Once that is in place, cura itself is trivial.

You're welcome to comaintain it if you like.

You're very welcome.  I've added both of you as administrators.  I've
also given add DDs commit access; they certainly won't abuse it; I doubt
they'll use it at all. ;-)

I haven't set up anything in the repository yet.  Feel free to start it.
We will certainly need a directory for each package; should we separate
them subdirectories by type (interface, slicer, firmware, other)?

It's probably a good idea to start a mailinglist there and continue this
discussion on it.

Thanks,
Bas

Yes, that would be very welcome.  I don't know any perl, so while I can
understand most of it, I can't really fix anything if I'd need to.

Yes, that sounds very useful.  I currenly have two packages which would
belong there: arduino-mighty-1284p, for supporting the melzi board, and
the new Cura (which will actually be two packages, -engine and -gui).

I previously looked at Repsnapper, but someone else eventually packaged
it; it should be part of this as well, I think.

I've also written a print server and am in the process of writing new
firmware.  Once done, they should be packaged as well, of course.

As for the structure, I'd prefer to use git for our repositories.  Is
that ok with you?

Thanks,

Hi,

There were several perl modules required for making a Debian package.
I'm not confident that I can properly maintain those, so I asked the
Perl team.  They have slowly added them.  I'm not sure if all of them
are packaged now; I should check again.

Thanks for the reminder,

Ok, I'm still interested to adopt this package. However, it doesn't
really need any updates, which is why I didn't upload anything yet.

Also, I'm not that fast with uploading, so if someone else wants to
adopt is, please go ahead. For that reason, I'll leave it as orphaned

Implementing networking in C is a pain. Unfortunately, much of that pain is

approach, like the rest of Python. With this module, networking is a piece of
cake. It can use tcp sockets and unix domain sockets, and supports avahi.

This module provides four classes: Socket and Server for string-based
connections, and RPCSocket and RPCServer for connections which call methods on
remote objects. All of this is symmetrical: once the connection is
established, the client and server use the same interface.

  Description : player for wherigo cartridges

A sister-site of geocaching.com is wherigo.org. There people can publish 
cartridge files, which can contain tour guides, puzzles (often leading to a 
geocache), or other adventure-style games. The adventures always make use of a 
gps receiver to know your position, and part of the adventure is to actually 
walk around with your legs instead of your keys. A player is required to use 
those cartridges. The site provides a non-free player. There are several other 
players available for different phones.

Wherpygo is another player. It is designed for a netbook. That is not a usual 
platform for the game, because taking a netbook with you is not very 
comfortable. However, the good thing about it is that the interface has more 
features than the default interface. It also includes a debugging mode, which 
can be used by cartridge writers, or players who are stuck.

This is how Repsnapper compares to other converters:

- Skeinforge is much slower but produces much better output. It doesn't support
  sending the GCode to the RepRap.
- ReplicatorG requires a non-free version of Java. It calls Skeinforge to

2011-07-18 Thread Bas Wijnen
This is a message to whoever sees the package in NEW, or anyone else who
wants to know why I'm uploading a package with a lintian error in it.

There are two problems with the generated manual pages in libshevek-doc:
- There is no short description for any of them.
- backslashes in the code are not properly escaped.

Both problems seem to be caused by doxygen. I've reported the issues
there[1][2]. Since I want the library to be in Debian (for use with
other programs), and these are only minor issues, I'm uploading the
package anyway, so it can sit in the NEW queue. These issues will be
fixed later (either by me or the doxygen people).

Thanks,

* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : kernel module for Photometrics Coolsnap ES camera

Photometrics/Roper Scientific is the producer of the Coolsnap ES camera for
scientific measurements. They provide an unsupported driver for GNU/Linux,
consisting of a closed-source library and source for a kernel module.

The module doesn't compile on modern kernels, so I fixed it and maintain the
fixed version. I have also written some tools to make use of the library. An
overview:

- The kernel module is free and maintained by me. It has an interface which is
  only documented by its source. Since the only user of the module is the
  library, it should be considered an undocumented interface. This makes the
  module suitable for contrib.
- The library which they provide as a binary. It is broken because it doesn't
  have a SONAME and includes libm, but it does work. This obviously has to go
  into non-free. This library is like many C libraries: the program needs to
  take many steps even to do simple things.
- Because of this I wrote a daemon which allows simple commands to just work.
  This daemon uses a public interface to applications which want to do
  measurements. I may also write a different back-end at some point, which uses
  any video4linux(2) device instead of the Coolsnap. Even better would be to
  change the kernel module to turn the camera into a v4l device itself, but
  that doesn't seem feasable at the moment.
- While the daemon is controlled over a textual interface through a network
  port, which makes it very suitable for scripting, I also wrote a simple
  graphical program to use it.

At the moment I don't have a license to distribute the library, but they do
have it available on their website. Until I get a license (I don't think
they'll have a problem with that, they don't have a "don't distribute" license,
they simply have no license at all), I can let the postinst download the file
and install it.

This ITP is about the kernel module. I'll file separate reports for the library
and the tools.

Bug#441833: RFS: wound-up -- Arcade/Puzzle game involving cogs and elves

2007-09-13 Thread Bas Wijnen
Hi Matthew,

I'm looking at the package, and a few comments first.

- It's not completely stable, I was able to crash the game.  I have a
  backtrace at the bottom, which can be copied into a bug report once
  the game gets into unstable.
- There are several lintian warnings about the menu files.  Please fix
  them.
- The license says you must mark modified versions of the program as
  such.  Since you're patching the game, you must do this.
- When starting the game as "woundup --help", it responds with
  "usage: run_game.py [options]".  This should of course be
  "usage: woundup [options]".

For the rest, it looks good to me.  Although I must admid that I never
packaged a python program before, and had to read the policy first. :-)

Thanks,
Bas

I had connected two touching cogs with a rubber band.  It shouldn't
work, of course, but it shouldn't crash either. :-)

Bug#203211: Software patents and Debian

Ok, I should be more careful with what I say on debian-legal. :-)  What you
say is obviously true if the programmer of the software has a patent on that
software.  However, in this case (and, I suppose, in the case of any other
program), there are patents held by third parties.  They may or may not
actively enforce them.  It is likely that distributing the program is a patent
violation by the programmer, at least in some countries (such as the US).  It
is also a violation for us to distribute it in those countries (if the patents
are valid, which is doubtful, but some of them may be, and this particular one
for mpeg4 probably is, I think).

So the license of the software is fine, the problem is that the programmer may
be illegally distributing the software to us, and it would be illegal for us
to distribute it to anyone else.  We can of course claim that we don't know,
and assume that the programmer knew what he was doing.  This is not unlikely
(actually, it's even true for me).  This means we only have to stop
distributing when the programmer does indeed get sued and loses the case.

The question was if that is indeed the way Debian does these things.  And in
particular, people do get sued for using the mpeg4 codec, IIUC.  So does that
mean we would at least consider it non-free?  Or not distributable at all?

Of course IANAL (that's why I'm asking here ;-) ), so in case of any
inaccuracies in the above, I'd appreciate corrections.

Oh, and about the suggestion to remove the problematic code: That's an option,
but I prefer not spending time on removing functionality from programs.

Thanks,
Bas Wijnen

Bug#203211: Software patents and Debian

2006-08-16 Thread Bas Wijnen
Hello,

When looking for some video-editing software, I found avidemux.  According to
the wnpp bug, there is a problem with license issues regarding the MPEG2/MPEG4
codec.  There is a software patent on this codec, and a paid license is needed
in order to use it, appearantly.

My question is how Debian handles software patents.  I thought we didn't care
about them except if they were actively enforced, because it's completely
impossible to avoid all patented software, considering the junk that gets
patented.  If that is the case, would any of you know if the MPEG[24] codec
patents are actively enforced?  In other words, can this be in Debian?

Thanks,
Bas Wijnen

Ps: Please keep me CCd, I'm not on the list.
