Bug#513630: O: graphmonkey -- a GTK#-based graphing calculator

Thanks for doing all of the following: - Emailing me to check if I actually was inactive - /msg'ing me on IRC (I'm on both freenode and OFTC. Hell, I'm even sitting in #debian-devel!) - Giving any other kind of warning Oh wait, you didn't do any of these things! Thanks for your sarcasm, completely un-needed. Keep it for others. You are a maintainer, your should maintain package, if you don't have time/wish to do so, orphan them. Stop. 1 wishlist bug and 1 normal bug do not make a package unmaintained. Really, the request for new upstream should be of priority: wishlist anyway. That's not an unmaintained package. For the record, I have an upload partially prepared to fix some of the outstanding bugs, but was waiting until after the Lenny release since it bumps the upstream version. Experimental is out of your possibilities? I decided it wasn't worth it for a crappy graphing calculator that is used by about 5 people with a upstream release that has very few changes. It also doesn't help the transition since transitions have to be done in unstable. Your commitment to detail is impeccable. Like yours: bts command is retitle not rename; congrats for being a jerk for the sake of nothing. I already had sent a follow up mail fixing this. I consider the orphaning of a package without any kind of consultation or warning to be a rude act, and thus replied in kind. That being said, if you think someone else can do better, feel free to adopt. Really, the package probably should be dropped for being worthless, but it actually has a small install base so I haven't done that. pkg-cli team is the right place, and they express interest in the package (see the correct retitle to ITA). If they had expressed interest to me, I would have been more than happy to hand the package over. However, I have never received any kind of email, bug, IRC message or any other communication expressing an interest in adopting this package. Someone from the pkg-cli team: If you'd like to contact me, I'd be more than happy to hand the package over without the whole RFA/ITA process. Or, retitle this bug. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Bug#435137: ITP: sa-learn-cyrus -- wrapper for sa-learn (from spamassassin) reading spam/ham messages from cyrus-imapd mailboxes
I haven't looked at this, and I'm curious how it's different (since I use sa-learn on my cyrus folders) but maybe this would be better if it were integrated into either the spamassasian or cyrus packages, in /usr/share/doc/pkg/examples (CC-ing the rest of the Debian Cyrus team for their opinions) Benjamin Debian Cyrus Team Jan Hauke Rahm wrote: Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Jan Hauke Rahm [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Package name: sa-learn-cyrus Version : 0.2.4 Upstream Author : Hans-Jürgen Beie [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.pollux.franken.de/hjb/mail-server/index.html * License : GPL Programming Lang: Perl Description : wrapper for sa-learn (from spamassassin) reading spam/ham messages from cyrus-imapd mailboxes sa-learn-cyrus is a perl script using sa-learn from the spamassassin package to train it knowing spam and ham. sa-learn-cyrus gets it's spam and ham messages from Cyrus-imapd mailboxes instead of mbox files or Maildirs as sa-learn does.

Bug#353641: gaim-plugin-pack: conflicts with existing Gaim plug-ins
Martin-Éric Racine wrote: I'd like to point out that Gaim Plug-in Pack Conflicts with several existing separate packages, such as gaim-irchelper. This should be thoroughly checked and Conflicts items be inserted in the control file, as appropriate. Will do. Any help on this would be appreciated. Additionally, the package really should be called pidgin-plugin-pack to reflect the upstream renaming. Noted. As I already maintain gaim-irchelper, I could help package this Plug-in Pack, if necessary. This can be done now, as Pidgin just entered unstable. I have some preliminary packaging done. There was some automagic stuff that was sub-optimal that was fixed in a later upstream. I was waiting for the etch freeze to end then the pidgin rename. I'm in the middle of my exam study period right now, hopefully I'll have time to work on the plugin pack soon. If you want to help, I'll be happy to put my work so far online. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Landaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Package name: googleearth-package Upstream Author : Wesley J. Landaker [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : (native package) * License : GPL Description : utility for automatically building a Google Earth Debian package Google Earth is a great program now available for GNU/Linux, but sadly is both non-free and non-distributable. For those who wish to run it on their Debian system, but wish it to be managed by the normal Debian packaging system, this program will assist in building a local Debian package in a similar fashion to java-package. This package *itself* contains absolutely no code from Google and is 100% free. (For the curious, this is appropriately destined for contrib.) Is this really needed? Google was very careful in making sure that the package installs in /usr/local, and does not interfere with the system. Normally the main reason why a debian package is better than what upsteam distributed is because using upstreams packages will mess with stuff it should not touch. The reason java-package is needed is that upstream's packages are not well behaved, and install into /usr, potentially causeing problems if it decides to edit the files of other packages. Google Earth takes care of its own updates by prompting the user, and allowing them to download and run the new installer (or at least it does on windows, and I can't imagine why the linux version would not). Needing to use a *-package utility prevents automatic updates anyway, and does not simplify installation much if any. So the only real advantage would seem to be that it would make Google Earth easier to uninstall. Well I guess it simplifies pushing updates out to a bunch of workstations, but in most cases users should just download the the .bin and run it. What's more, google earth can be installed without root privileges and installs into a users home directory, thus the systems administrator doesn't even need to install it, the user can signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
