Bug#524135: 2 more eyeballs and 2 more hands willing to help

2010-05-27 Thread Clint Byrum
Hi Eric, reading this bug report, its understandable why you might be reticent 
to continue fighting that good fight.

I'm interested in packaging thrift for Ubuntu's next release (10.10) and 
hopefully also for Debian.

Does your work parallel Digg's packaging of thrift, which seems to be workable, 
and may provide a decent starting point:

http://mirrors.digg.com/digg/pool/main/t/thrift/

We're tracking this as part of a blueprint for Ubuntu 10.10 here:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/server-maverick-cloud-datastores

Also, does it make sense that given the incompatible nature of some of the 
snapshots, we might build multiple packages that are named based on their 
snapshot, and a virtual package 'thrift' pointing to the latest stable release? 
This would allow packagers to specifically target a compatible snapshot package 
for their particular needs without pinning the system to one version.

Bug#506040: Status of uploading user space to debian?

2010-07-12 Thread Clint Byrum
Sage, first off, thanks for producing debian source packages and
maintaining your own apt repository.


I'm curious if you're involved at all with this debian Intent To Package
bug 


http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=506040 for ceph.


Also, to all involved with the ITP, I'd really like to see the ceph 0.20
user space tools hit Debian and sync with Ubuntu. The packages that Sage
produces upstream appear to meet debian policy requirements (though they
could use a little cleaning up). So while the official debian kernel
does not support ceph, it seems worthwhile to have the userspace tools
in the archive ahead of the kernel.

Is there anything preventing the upload? Can I do anything to help with
the ITP?

Thanks!

Bug#506040: Unclear licensing on some files

2010-07-20 Thread Clint Byrum
Hi Sage,

I've been reviewing the package, and I'm almost done. However, there are
some issues with the licensing that may prevent it from entering Debian
and/or Ubuntu's archive:

src/client/fuse.cc has this header:

/*
 * Ceph - scalable distributed file system * * Copyright (C) 2004-2006
 Sage Weil  * * This is free software; you can
 redistribute it and/or * modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser
 General Public * License version 2.1, as published by the Free Software
 * Foundation.  See file COPYING.  * */


/*
FUSE: Filesystem in Userspace Copyright (C) 2001-2005  Miklos Szeredi


This program can be distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL.
See the file COPYING.
*/


Since the file was originally under the GPL, I believe it cannot not be
re-licensed to the LGPL 2.1 in this way without Miklos assigning copyright
to you or granting you special permission to relicense the file. This
would actually require the entire client to be re-licensed to the GPL.

This appears to be a copy of  the example/fusexmp.c file from the fuse
distribution. Assuming it came from v2.4.2 (the last one to have the
2005 Copyright), I think you've changed it enough to justify removing
Miklos' copyright:

cl...@ubuntu:~/pkg/ceph/scratch/fuse-2.4.2$ diff -u
example/fusexmp.c ../../bzr/ceph/src/client/fuse.cc | grep
'^-'|wc -l 261 cl...@ubuntu:~/pkg/ceph/scratch/fuse-2.4.2$ diff -u
example/fusexmp.c ../../bzr/ceph/src/client/fuse.cc | grep '^+'|wc -l
214 cl...@ubuntu:~/pkg/ceph/scratch/fuse-2.4.2$ wc -l example/fusexmp.c
353 example/fusexmp.c

So, you've changed 261 lines of 353. That is 73.9%. I think in some
countries that constitutes enough change to remove the original copyright,
but its not clear enough to pass Debian's Free Source Guidelines. You'd
probably be better off just obtaining permission from Miklos to re-license
that file as LGPL, or simply re-licensing the 'cfuse' source files under
the GPLv2 (which is what version of the GPL fuse 2.4.2 is distributed
under). Since it is a binary program, and not a library, it makes
sense anyway.

Anyway, hopefully we can get that licensing issue cleared up quickly so
ceph makes it into the 10.10 release of Ubuntu.

Otherwise the package looks good. I've just changed a few things. Its
all stored in a branch on launchpad here:

https://code.launchpad.net/~clint-fewbar/+junk/ceph-packaging

Right, why didn't I think of that? :) LGPL sourced object code can of course be 
linked into a GPL sourced binary.

Here is the release schedule:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickReleaseSchedule

The package will need to be uploaded before the "FeatureFreeze" which is on
August 12th.

It would be best if it were ready for upload by July 29th, as that way it would 
be
included in Alpha3.

Hopefully also we can get it uploaded to Debian ASAP so that both
distributions benefit. Maybe your mentor can sponsor its upload?

Sage, the package looks great.

Asheesh, if it meets your requirements for sponsorship, do you think you can 
get this uploaded into Debian by next week? I'd like to get this into Ubuntu 
10.10 (maverick), and we won't really be able to add any new packages after 
next Thursday.

Thanks all!

Thanks Sage,

Working under the assumption that the package won't clear NEW by next
week, we've been working to upload directly into Ubuntu for 10.10.

It would be very helpful if you could review the comments and changes
here and offer any suggestions.

One thing noticed was that there is a 'debian/rados.install' file, but no
'rados' package in debian/control, I'd love to get your opeinion as to
what we should do about that.

Thanks!

Bug#506040: ceph now in Ubuntu

2010-08-09 Thread Clint Byrum
Hi Sage, Mathias has uploaded ceph into the universe archive for Ubuntu, 
meaning it 
should be present for the 10.10 release in October.

It is versioned as 0.21-0ubuntu1, so as soon as 0.21-1 is uploaded to Debian, 
we will sync/merge it.

There was some confusion regarding the official release tarball and the debian 
packaging
it contains, I think a few things didn't make it in to the debian dir from the 
testing 
branch of the git repository.

I've attached the patch, which we have in our debian/patches dir. It moves 
mkcephfs to 
sbin from usr/sbin, which is where the official tarball's install files expect 
it to be.

Thanks for all the help, and looking forward to working together with you as 
ceph matures!

Hi Sage,

As long as it just fixes bugs, it should be ok. While the main archive
entered final freeze on Thursday, universe isn't distributed on media, 
and so can be updated up until just before the release.

I'll check out 0.21.3 on Monday and if it looks like minor enough updates,
I'll see if we can get it sponsored in for 10.10.

pv is indeed similar, and has many features pipemeter does not.

Pipemeter does have higher performance in every instance I've tried, and
uses slightly less RAM. They're both doing mostly the same thing, but in
somewhat different ways. Pipemeter was originally written to provide
very little functionality, with very little interference.

Yes we'd much rather have a single package that works in both Debian and
Ubuntu.

If you know exactly what package is being looked at for upload into
Debian, I can at least start with that so that the merge when it finally
does get uploaded is much simpler.

Bug#602316: Update on progress

2010-11-29 Thread Clint Byrum
I just wanted to give an update on progress here.

Since the build of mod_pagespeed is rather non-standard, pulling in full
source repositories instead of development headers, I've been poking at
several ways to drop in dev headers automatically. So far its been a lot
of experimentation and not much success.

I'll be reaching out to the chromium-browser maintainers on both debian
and ubuntu for some collaboration on the issue, as the chromium source
code tools are a large part of this.

Please contact me if you'd like to collaborate on this, as it is rather
large and I have limited time to spend on it.

I don't see where this is a hard requirement in the reject faq.
Essentially, as long as the files don't have a license that conflicts
with COPYING, then there's no need for a license header. I DO think its
a good idea to have a Copyright header in every file, but thats also
probably ok to have in an AUTHORS file or something like that.

Laszlo, I did a thorough review of the licensing before working to get
ceph uploaded to Ubuntu, but I wasn't aware of the incompatibility
between the GPL/LGPL and OpenSSL. This page details it pretty well:

http://people.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html

Sage, I'd guess that you can work on getting an OK from the other
authors on adding an exception. I've opened a bug against CEPH in ubuntu
here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ceph/+bug/684011

Sage, if you can please update that bug's status when you have secured
an exception, that would be ideal, as I'm going to mark it as Critical,
so we'll probably have to drop ceph from Natty if there's no resolution
before the release, and consider dropping it from Maverick as well.

Also Sage, if the other authors (or you) are not comfortable with the
OpenSSL advertising clause, there's always GNUTLS which exists in large
part to address this sort of thing.

Bug#680954: pynag - looking good, couple of questions

2012-07-10 Thread Clint Byrum
Hi Pall. I just found pynag the other day and I am using it to do some
automation of nagios deployment using juju.

I have been using the package of the last couple hours, and it works
great.

Since pynag is a public python module, the package should be called
python-pynag. If you want to have a meta-package called 'pynag' that
depends on that, that would be a good idea too, or you could even move
/usr/bin/pynag into its own 'pynag' package and the library would remain
in python-pynag.

Would you consider passing maintainership over ot the Debian Python
Modules Team?  You can remain as an Uploader so your changes will not
be NMU's. By letting the team handle it they can assist with large scale
policy changs and stuff like that.

Something to consider. If you're ok with maintaining it yourself, thats
fine too.

So, just the python-pynag issue needs to be resolved, and then I think
this is good to go for sponsoring into Debian. 'testing' is frozen right
now, so it may sit in the NEW queue for a while, but its still worth
uploading to get it into unstable whenever it thaws.

I actually have had the package ready to upload shortly after I got my

I'll let this be my reminder and upload the package to NEW today.

I'd love to help you with the rest of mediagoblin, as it seems like a

It was cribbed directly from the mediagoblin website. I'm not much a

Here's another ping.

Seeing as squeeze is out, and the NEW queue is, as I understand it,
hundreds and hundreds of packages long right now, it would probably be
good to get CEPH into that NEW queue ASAP.

I'm a little unclear where any additional packaging changes reside, but
I've gone ahead and packaged 0.24.2 for Ubuntu, it is here:

Note a few changes for policy v3.9.1 including removing the .la files

Right, its not a must but a should. Still, this seems reason enough to
leave them out.

Since the license issue is critical, I'm going to go ahead and leave the
ubuntu package up for sponsorship so the bug is closed ASAP.

Once your packages clear the debian queue, it should be easy enough to
issue a sync request to override the -0ubuntu1 packages.

Thanks Craig. IIRC, Google sees things differently for their own
concerns. They've found that for a single binary product, they can
provide better support given their own assembly of dependencies rather
than a distribution set of dependencies.

Still, this can be resolved by simply replacing the expected bundled
libraries with system libraries during the build. A few things that are
embedded need to be packaged as well, but that will be part of the
effort.

I haven't had much time to spend on mod_pagespeed since filing the ITP,
but I still want to resolve the *extremely* difficult bundling and build
issues and get it available with all the usual assurances one can expect
from a Debian package.

Bug#784710: ITP: python-shade -- Client library for operating OpenStack clouds

2015-05-07 Thread Clint Byrum
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Clint Byrum 

* Package name: python-shade
  Version : 0.6.0
  Upstream Author : Various (See AUTHORS)
* URL : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/shade
* License : Apache-2
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Client library for operating OpenStack clouds

 Shade is a simple Python client library for operating OpenStack
 clouds. The key word here is simple. Clouds can do many many many
 things - but there are probably only about 10 of them that most people
 care about with any regularity. If you want to do complicated things,
 you should probably use the lower level client libraries - or even the
 REST API directly. However, if what you want is to be able to write an
 application that talks to clouds no matter what choices the deployer
 has made then shade is for you.

Bug#731877: O: handlersocket -- HandlerSocket plugin for MySQL

2013-12-10 Thread Clint Byrum
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I no longer have as much time to maintain packages in Debian, and
Handlersocket is not extremely popular as it has a very small niche
appeal.

Bug#804704: ITP: python-munch -- A dot-accessible dictionary similar to JavaScript objects

2015-11-10 Thread Clint Byrum
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Clint Byrum 

* Package name: python-munch
  Version : 2.0.4
  Upstream Author : Rotem Yaari 
* URL : https://github.com/infinidat/munch
* License : MIT
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : A dot-accessible dictionary similar to JavaScript objects

Munch is a fork of David Schoonover’s Bunch package, providing similar
functionality. 99% of the work was done by him, and the fork was made
mainly for lack of responsiveness for fixes and maintenance on the
original code.

Munch is a dictionary that supports attribute-style access, a la
JavaScript.

I intend to maintain this in the context of the Debian Python Modules Team.



Bug#804713: ITP: python-requestsexceptions -- Import exceptions from potentially bundled packages in requests

2015-11-10 Thread Clint Byrum
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Clint Byrum 

* Package name: python-requestsexceptions
  Version : 1.1.1
  Upstream Author : James Blair 
* URL : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/requestsexceptions
* License : Apache 2.0
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Import exceptions from potentially bundled packages in 
requests

The python requests library bundles the urllib3 library, however, some
software distributions modify requests to remove the bundled library.
This makes some operations, such as supressing the “insecure platform
warning” messages that urllib emits difficult. This is a simple library
to find the correct path to exceptions in the requests library
regardless of whether they are bundled.

I plan to maintain this package in the context of the Debian Python
Modules Team.
