Bug#236721: Squeak in Debian main
Lex,
I had hoped, as Petter suggested in the Squeak RFP #236721, that Squeak
could now go into Debian main because the font issues have been
resolved, as Debian Jr. would like to include Squeak in the
junior-programming metapackage. However, it seems Roland's points here
are not yet addressed in the RFP:
(3) Clause 6 states: "You may not use or otherwise export or reexport
the Apple Software except as authorized by United States law and the
laws of the jurisdiction in which the Apple Software was obtained. In
particular, but without limitation, the Apple Software may not be
exported or reexported (i) into (or to a national or resident of) any
U.S. embargoed country [...]"
Which seems to violate DFSG.5 ("No Discrimination Against Persons or
Groups") since it explicitly excludes people in countries like Cuba (?)
from receiving copies of this package. I don't think we can maintain a
list of countries which the USA enforce an embargo on at a time.
(4) The distributed files squeak.changes and squeak.image, both around
10MB, are shipped in binary form. I wonder if there should be source
code to create them initially. (See DFSG.2, "Source Code")
Has any progress been made with these last remaining issues? I notice
that we list this software as unpackageable due to license issues, yet
the RFP remains on the books, which leaves the situation ambiguous.

Bug#236721: Squeak in Debian main
This looks like a step in the right direction: http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2006-May/104466.html Although it has been noted in this thread that historically Debian has removed APSL2 packages, and that therefore BSD/MIT would be better. Also, it's one thing to get approval from the Squeak board, and quite another to actually do the work of putting together a relicensed distribution. So it seems all we can do now is wait and see. Now, the question is, in light of this recent development, should Squeak be removed from the "cannot be packaged" list, or would that be premature? Also, Lex, in light of the fact that you have packages already (albeit for the non-DFSG version) and Squeak seems to be moving towards a solution, is it time to change the RFP to an ITP?

It would be nice if upstream could provide an alternative soundtrack that is appropriate for children. Also, Conflicts: race-sound is not acceptable from my point-of-view. This would be fine for a child-only system, but we assume that some systems are used both by young children and older siblings or parents. The soundtrack may be perfectly acceptable to the older ones, so Conflicts is wrong. Instead, we should look at solutions which make turning off a particular feature that is inappropriate for children the default for child users. This is getting to be a rather regular issue (that is, what to do about features of a program that are deemed inappropriate for children) so here are my thoughts (a sort of draft Debian Jr. policy, I guess). The classic example is xpenguins. From the man page: Some notes regarding the various activities. If you design a new theme, feel free to make the splatted, squashed, zapped and exit animations as gory and bloody as you like, but please keep the explosion activity nice and tame; that way those of a nervous disposition can employ the --no-blood option which replaces all these violent deaths with a tasteful explosion that wouldn't offend your grandmother. So we should be encouraging upstream to do something like this. If upstream decides to make such an option the default, great. If they don't, then Debian Jr. may provide an alternate version that makes it the default and conflicts with the non-junior version. Older users who wish to use the "inappropriate for children" version can simply start the application with the switch to enable the disabled feature. If upstream does not wish to add such a switch, the DD may wish to patch it. If neither of these solutions are implemented, Debian Jr. would simply drop the package. (Note: this isn't such a bad solution, and is often the easiest. If a parent's judgement differs from Debian Jr's and they wish to install the package and use it with their children in the state it is in, they are certainly free to do so.) The "hard line" on this would be to rip out the feature from the code altogether. If there is sufficient interest in providing packages that do this, it may be that upstream also supports a build-time option to disable it. But I feel that the approach I outlined above is the best compromise for the general case. If there is sufficient interest in providing an entirely "foolproof kid safe" version of a given package, then the DD may elect to provide a third conflicting alternative binary package built without the inappropriate feature. The default Debian Jr. offering, however, will provide the "option" version.

Bug#112118: Anything holding this up? Would be nice for Debian Jr.
Is anything holding this ITP up? The license looks DFSG-free. Is there some other reason the ITP is now several months old with nothing showing for it? This would make an attractive addition to junior-math in Debian Jr. In particular, if python-visual (vpython) were packaged, then PyGeo, which depends on vpython, could be packaged as well: http://home.netcom.com/~ajs/ This comment from the PyGeo home page caught my attention: PyGeo was created for, and is therefore particularly suitable for, the visualization of concepts of the root geometry - Projective Geometry. Yet it is suitable for exploring the most basic concepts of Euclidean geometry at an introductory level, including by elementary schools students and their teachers. -- Ben Armstrong ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Bug#141099: ITP: xpilot-ng -- XPilot game "next generation"
Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-04-03 Severity: wishlist * Package name: xpilot-ng Version : 4.3.0X Upstream Author : Uoti Urpala * URL : http://xpilot.sf.net/ * License : GPL Description : XPilot game "next generation" I am the maintainer for XPilot, and have been following this fork from the official XPilot release for some time. The polygon map format that it implements is a radical departure from the official version which is why these changes aren't presently integrated back into the official one. That is to say, the map format that the xpilot-ng server uses is fundamentally incompatible with official xpilot clients. That being said, the xpilot-ng client will work with both new and old map formats. My intent is to package the CVS version of xpilot-ng instead of the latest tarball, as it is rather out of date. I will periodically rebuild and upload new CVS versions until such time as this project has established a regular release cycle of distribution tarballs. My packaging of 'xpilot-ng' will be done in such a way that integrates well with the official 'xpilot' package: - sharing data files where appropriate - providing alternatives where appropriate - supporting multiple instances of the server on the same system without conflicts so that a games server can serve users both with official and "next generation" clients Changes will be made to the official 'xpilot' package to accomodate for 'xpilot-ng' as needed. Hm, what else ... umm ... you'll notice that there is a java map editor which depends on a non-free implementation of java. I won't be including that. Uoti Urpala has written a map editor in python, so I will include that instead. There is also a C++ map editor, but that hasn't been worked on for many months. Hopefully once we get more users for this version, that will help spur along development of one or both of these editors.

It is not a package itself, but rather a package name, named in the "Provides:" control field, thus emacs21 and emacs20 both have "Provides" of the virutal package "emacsen". A meta package, on the other hand, is a real package that has nothing but control information in it, usually "Depends:" so when you install the meta package it causes a group of other packages to be installed. If I gave the impression that the grouping should be by foundry, that is not what I meant. I think I mentioned that the foundry may be present in the name of each actual font package, but that is all. I imagined a good grouping would be by function, i.e. "fonts suitable for foo". The grouping I suggested was ttf-latin for a nice collection of fonts supporting latin characters.

The tuxpaint package needs one of these Tamil fonts (in particular, TSCu_Comic) for the newly committed to tuxpaint CVS Tamil support. I would be very interested to test ttf-tamil-fonts (or ttf-indic -- whichever is eventually going to go into sid and includes the font I need) so I can prepare to modify my package to make use of it. Thanks, Ben Armstrong, Debian tuxpaint maintainer
Bug#122242: ITP: xletters -- Type falling words before they land
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist A typing practice game for X similar to typespeed and tuxtype. The license is GPL. Download it here: http://www.seul.org/edu/packages/xletters What distinguishes it from typespeed is that it runs under X, whereas typespeed is console-based. What distinguishes it from the tuxtype is it is considerably more lightweight (i.e. pure X, non-SDL) so it works better on very low end platforms on which SDL sucks.

The programmer gives SDL_sound a filename, or feeds it data directly from one of many sources, and then reads the decoded waveform data back at her leisure. If resource constraints are a concern, SDL_sound can process sound data in programmer-specified blocks. Alternately, SDL_sound can decode a whole sound file and hand back a single pointer to the whole waveform. SDL_sound can also handle sample rate, audio format, and channel conversion on-the-fly and behind-the-scenes, if the programmer desires.

Bug#275092: RFA: xpilot -- Multi-player tactical game for X
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request an adopter for the xpilot package. I have put a fair amount of care into this package over the years, but no longer play the game, so it really deserves to be looked after by an active player of the game, or at least someone with an interest in XPilot development. I had always intended to package the de facto successor, so anyone interested in adopting this package should also look at this ITP (which I will shortly retitle to RFP): #141099: ITP: xpilot-ng -- XPilot game "next generation" I hope the new maintainer will either take on both packages, or at least do xpilot-ng. Development of the original xpilot.org version continues in a different direction, but since it seems to have stalled out, it appears that xpilot-ng is the XPilot of the future. So if NG goes into Debian, the original package could be removed, and therefore would only need occasional care in Debian "stable" until it is superceded by NG. The package description is: XPilot is a multi-player tactical manoeuvring game for X. Each player controls their own fighter equipped with a variety of weapons and power-ups. Players compete as teams or as individuals; the object of the game is to score points by blasting the opposition, stealing their treasure or by racing round a circuit. WARNING: This game is very addictive. . This package has been split into xpilot-client-common, xpilot-client-nosound, xpilot-client-nas, xpilot-client-rplay and xpilot-server. There is an additional package (xpilot-extra) containing various free maps and sounds as well as a useful utility program to interrogate the metaserver. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.26-1-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C

I have talked over the situation with both the original xpilot developers and the xpilot-ng fork, and we'd like to put together a hybrid that incorporates both of their work rather than split into two sets of packages.

Bug#730084: Potential removal - python-irc

While that would not be ideal, and I'd rather not have to lose functionality, I could live with it, as it's not core functionality required by the game. So, yes, I'm interested in seeing python-irc continue to be maintained, if someone is available to do the work, but it's not something I'm personally interested in taking on. Ben

It's certainly welcome, and I did have some discussion with Miriam on irc about this briefly, but she's very busy at this time. Some of the packages reviewed in my blog article are not suitable for inclusion in Debian Jr. (or even Debian) for various reasons. I do not remember all of the details at this time, so I had hoped Miriam would get a chance later to fill you in. I believe in one case (anagramarama?) it was written in such a way as to make localization difficult (anagramarama?), if not impossible. In another case (kartofel) the controls are quite difficult. Miriam wanted to see if they could be improved. Anyway, thanks for making this set of additions. They looked basically OK except since I don't know exactly which packages are going to end up in Debian I couldn't revise them accordingly.

I have not recieved any answer to > my mail about editing the Debian Jr. tasks files. [2] As for Peg-e itself, I agree that it looks like a good candidate. In the past my policy has been that any package that I have personally tried with the children and had a positive response from them, and I cannot find any other objection to adding, I have added. Or in the absence of evidence that it is good for kids by my own direct observation of children using the software, I have asked for confirmation from other project members via such direct observation instead. So far, I have not tried Peg-e with my own kids. Can someone vouch for it from experience using it with kids? If so, I recommend we include it. How we are going to handle user recommendations of software for Debian Jr. in general is still an open question and I apologize for the apparent lack of care to answering it. We do not mean to exclude other project members from the discussion, but the fact is that much of the discussion so far has been on irc, so anyone who has not been present for such discussions does not get filled in on it. I will make more of an effort to summarize and post such discussions as they happen from now on.

Do you honestly not see the difference between poking fun at an upstream that is at the center of an ongoing controversy vs. poking fun at a competitor? I personally don't care for the satire in this case and don't think it's constructive for the project. Is it worth the expenditure of project resources, even if ever so small, to allow a "joke package" (and a bad joke, at that, and hopefully one with limited shelf life), which throws oil on the fire?

It's an ITP, so it goes to debian-devel by default to discuss amongst ourselves whether a package is suitable to enter Debian or not. So yes, it's a necessary part of the process. > On 01/16/2015 03:48 PM, Ben Armstrong wrote: >> Do you honestly not see the difference between poking fun at an >> upstream that is at the center of an ongoing controversy vs. poking >> fun at a competitor? > 1. Everybody (who doesn't like systemd) already resigned, IMHO. There's > already no "controversy". We'll have to agree to disagree here. I still see lots of systemd hate on irc from certain users, and not just loons. Also, I see it every now and then on the mailing lists and in blogs as well, and it will be a while before that fire goes out. I expect another flare-up again immediately after Jessie is released. > 2.

And by "stop" I don't mean active suppression of xlennart's existence (or writing of new satire), just rampant explosion of multiple redundant packages in Debian, each serving the same basic purpose with trivial differences from the last. I don't think this is a good trend. >> I'd also object on the technical grounds that we already have xbill and >> the changes in xlennart don't truly justify a fork. > This could be easily solved by merging xbill with xlennart to "xperson" > with collection of this people (bill and lennart). Sure, after the joke is no longer too soon, I'd have no problem with that (or even keep the original name "xbill" for continuity with its long history, but that's something upstream can judge best).

The message is either silly or offensive. While we're talking about personal opinions, and clarifying for Dmitry, whom I never answered on the question of "what good is xbill to debian?" it's not entirely beneath me to chuckle at public figures at their expense. (What listener of CBC radio hasn't chuckled at the Canadian Air Farce poking fun at public Canadian figures, for instance? Or if that's not your nationality ... pick your favourite example of the same genre.) Yes, xbill is funny (to me) and I think enjoying a bit of silliness like this can enrich our lives. So my own feelings regarding lampooning Lennart in a game are, as I said, just my personal distaste for it. I find it too soon and unfunny, given what the Debian project has just been through over systemd. I'm not saying satire has no value for Debian, categorically. As for the rest of what you wrote, I can only agree. Cheers, Ben signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

OK. If you've decided to drop the ITP, then please just close the bug.
