Bug#823548: linux-user-chroot deprecation

2016-05-09 Thread Colin Walters
l-u-c post: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/ostree-list/2016-May/msg0.html

FWIW if any transition scripts are written I'd be happy to have them in l-u-c 
upstream.
I'm as yet unsure whether it's worth doing so, or pushing for dependent 
consumers
to do a hard port.  I'm doing the latter with my l-u-c consumers 
(gnome-continuous, my
bashrc).

Are there any l-u-c dependencies in the Debian archive?

 DebPool is a pool-based DEB 

s/DEB/Debian/ ?

 package archiver designed with a goal of
 removing any dependancy on code not shipped as part of the core Debian
 system.

By core here do you mean priority = standard?

 It is capable of all of the following:
   * Tracking multiple distributions (however, it does *not* include
 unstable - testing promotion scripts).
   * Generating Release files (requires libdigest-{md5,sha1}-perl)
   * Verifying package signatures (requires gnupg).
   * Signing release files (requires Release files and gnupg).
   * Running in single-pass or daemon modes.
 
 DebPool is intended to be a lightweight replacement for the full Debian
 archival scripts, in the tradition of debarchive and mini-dinstall, but
 using a pool layout

How are you implementing this?  Do you have some sort of database about
which packages are in which distributions?

  and avoiding external dependancies.

This seems like an unfortunate reason to write a whole new program.  If
the problem is mini-dinstall's dependency on python-logging, I could
probably suck it into the package.  In any case it'll be standard in
Python 2.3 which is why I've been lazy about doing it.

Third, these packages will (AIUI) be distributed in the XFree source

Finally, you should not upload this until Branden splits xlibs and

Bug#156582: ITP: mini-dinstall -- daemon for updating Debian packages in a repository

  Description : daemon for updating Debian packages in a repository

 This program implements a miniataure version of the dinstall
 program which installs packages in the Debian archive.  It doesn't
 require a postgresql database, and is very easy to set up, maintain,
 and use.  mini-dinstall can be run via cron, or as a daemon.
 .
 This package is expressly designed for personal apt repositories, and
 the like.  In this vein, it contains fewer sanity checks; for
 example, it will happily install a lower version of a package.  You
 can also generally just 'rm' files from the repository, and
 mini-dinstall won't care.

 equalizer, and GStreamer visualization plugins.
 
 MonkeyMedia builds upon the GStreamer multimedia framework, thereby
 supporting all formats for which GStreamer plugins have been written.
 
 All data retreival is done via GnomeVFS, so it is no problem to play
 data over HTTP, Samba, or whatever GnomeVFS-supported protocol you
 can think of.

Bug#136726: ITP: vegastrike -- Interactive Flight Simulator/Real Time Strategy

This is a bad description.  The first line of the description should be
a full sentence which concisely summarizes the package, and it should
not end in a period.  The rest of the description could contain fewer
excalamation points, and need not mention Linux or Windows (since a
Debian user already knows it's available for them). How about this:

Description: Interactive flight simulator and real-time strategy game
 Vega Strike is an interactive 3D OpenGL based flight simulator and
 real-time strategy game.  Its features include stunning graphics, 
 over 100 star systems, sound effects, a programmable AI, and a mission
 scripting system.

 [maybe other stuff here]

P.S. please wrap your lines at about 72 columns or so.

Hmm.  This is a rather undescriptive name.  How about something like
dotgnu-pnet, or dotgnu-dotnet, dotgnu-net, or even
dotgnu-portable-net?

Bug#105587: RFP: pcp

2001-07-17 Thread Colin Walters
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

URL:http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/

From the above URL:

 Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) is a framework and services to support
 system-level performance monitoring and performance management.

 The services offered by PCP are especially attractive for those
 tackling harder system-level performance problems. For example this
 may involve a transient performance degradation, or correlating
 end-user quality of service with platform activity, or diagnosing
 some complex interaction between resource demands on a single system,
 or management of performance on large systems with lots of moving
 parts.

The news page mentioned that someone had made Debian packages, but the
URL to them was broken.  It might be worth looking into trying to find
the packager and/or his/her packages.

I haven't actually tried this software, but it looks cool, and the
stuff from SGI is generally high-quality.

There is also a neato looking GTK+ frontend at

URL:http://k332.feld.cvut.cz/~lemming/projects/pcpmon.html

that looks like it would also be worth packaging.
