Bug#1082942: ITP: libcarp-object-perl -- object-oriented replacement for Carp or Carp::Clan Perl modules
Package: wnpp Owner: Damyan Ivanov Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, debian-p...@lists.debian.org * Package name: libcarp-object-perl Version : 1.02 Upstream Author : Laurent Dami * URL : https://metacpan.org/release/Carp-Object * License : Artistic or GPL-1+ Programming Lang: Perl Description : object-oriented replacement for Carp or Carp::Clan Perl modules Carp::Object is an object-oriented alternative to Carp/croak or Carp::Clan/croak, for reporting errors in modules from the perspective of the caller instead of reporting the internal implementation line where the error occurs. Carp or Carp::Clan were designed long ago, at a time when Perl had no support yet for object-oriented programming; therefore they only have a functional API that is not very well suited for extensions. The present module attemps to mimic the same behaviour, but with an object-oriented implementation that offers more tuning options, and also supports errors raised as Exception objects. Unlike Carp or Carp::Clan, where the presentation of stack frames is hard-coded, here it is delegated to Devel::StackTrace. This means that clients can also take advantage of options in Devel::StackTrace to tune the output -- or even replace it by another class.

What exactly are you seeing in the dependencies folder that would > require separate library packages? Basically everything that is not authored by the OpenRGB developers as part of OpenRGB? I would guess most of the content under dependencies is just copied from somewhere for convenience. > Could you also please point me to the policy that requires this? 4.13. Embedded code copies == Some software packages include in their distribution convenience copies of code from other software packages, generally so that users compiling from source don’t have to download multiple packages. Debian packages should not make use of these convenience copies unless the included package is explicitly intended to be used in this way. [17] If the included code is already in the Debian archive in the form of a library, the Debian packaging should ensure that binary packages reference the libraries already in Debian and the convenience copy is not used. If the included code is not already in Debian, it should be packaged separately as a prerequisite if possible. [18] [17] For example, parts of the GNU build system work like this. [18] Having multiple copies of the same code in Debian is inefficient, often creates either static linking or shared library conflicts, and, most importantly, increases the difficulty of handling security vulnerabilities in the duplicated code. So it is not strictly required, but a strong recommendation: * The terms *should* and *should not*, and the adjective *recommended*, denote best practices. Non-conformance with these guidelines will generally be considered a bug, but will not necessarily render a package unsuitable for distribution. These statements correspond to bug severities of *important*, *normal*, and *minor*. They are collectively called *Policy recommendations*. If you go with the bundles, don't forget to add them to the security tracker at https://salsa.debian.org/security-tracker-team/security-tracker/raw/master/data/embedded-code-copies -- Damyan, hoping for the best

Firebird offers excellent concurrency, high performance, and powerful language support for stored procedures and triggers. It has been used in production systems, under a variety of names, since 1981. The Firebird Project is a commercially independent project of C and C++ programmers, technical advisors and supporters developing and enhancing a multi-platform relational database management system based on the source code released by Inprise Corp (now known as Borland Software Corp) on 25 July, 2000. Firebird 3.0 represents the project's next milestone release and it currently gets the most of the development efforts. It's going to offer some important and highly anticipated features that were promised for a long time already. * Revised architecture, including new authentication and configuration subsystems * Scalable (SMP/multi-core friendly) multi-threaded engine with a shared page cache * New ODS (version 12) with new system and monitoring tables * External (Java, C++, etc) stored procedures/triggers/functions * Reworked optimizer and new data access methods * Security enhancements * Various SQL extensions Thhe first alpha release is planned for Q1 2011 released in Q1 2011 Be aware that the ODS (on-disk structure) hasn't been finalized yet, so databases could be incompatible between different unstable builds and you'll have to either recreate them or migrate them via backup/restore. This package is meant to enter experimental, due to the high pace of upstream development. Its goal is to provide easy testing of the new features of Firebird and to have early exposure of the packaging helping to discover any problems. firebird3.0 is the third group of packages for Firebird. Squeeze is going to release with firebird2.1 and firebird2.5. The plan for wheezy is to drop firebird2.1 and add firebird3.0, if that has proven stable by the time wheezy approaches releasable state.

You propose that libtext-markdown-perl adds a transitional 'markdown' binary package which depends on libtext-markdown-perl | python-markdown. Additionaly, 'libtext-markdown-perl' and 'python-markdown' should conflict/replace 'markdown (<< 1.0.26-2~)', right? (assuming 1.0.26-2 is the version introducing the 'markdown' binary package').

Bug#492696: Combining Artistic|GPL-1+ with GPL-2 and LGPL-3+
[Please Cc me on replies. Thanks] My upstream uses several licenses and this makes be feel a bit uneasy deciding if they can be combined. Please advice. Most of the code is licensed under "the same terms as Perl itself", which means either Artistic license, or (at your opinion) GPL (any version). In addition to that, some icons are licensed under LGPL-3+, and some more icons are licensed under GPL-2. From how I understand it, if we choose GPL-2 for the main code, that still leaves the combination of GPL-2 (code and some .png icons) and LGPL-3+ (.png icons). Is such aggregation OK?

clive-utils upstream just reimplemented the salt() twoliner in their
code, so the package is no longer needed.
I am tagging wontfix as the package is no-go for the reasons stated in

Upstream Author : Jonathan Steinert

Description : generate salt to be fed into crypt()
The single exported subroutine in this module is for generating a salt
suitable for being fed to crypt() and other similar functions.
.
Variable length salts can be generated, the default salt is two
characters long.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The package is a dependency of 'clive-utils', which is spun-off 'clive'
upstream and rewritten in Perl.
FTP-masters, the actual code in this package would be the following
function, the rest is POD, makefiles etc stuff.
sub salt
{
my $length = 2;
$length = $_[0] if exists $_[0];
return join "", ('.', '/', 0..9, 'A'..'Z', 'a'..'z')[map {rand 64}
(1..$length)];
}
There was a recent rejection[1] of a similar package.
[1]
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-perl-maintainers/2008-December/017000.html
I hope someone can suggest a better place for that module. Separate
package, containing only few lines of code is not very nice indeed.
salt() is mostly useful with crypt(), which is part of core Perl. I
wonder if perl-modules package would be appropriate carier?
The 'join "", ...' part seems like taken straight from crypt()
documentation (perldoc -f crypt).
Finally there's always the option of patching clive-utils and putting inside
its own salt(). My problem with this is that I think code reuse is good,
even in small-scale.

(/me hates legal stiff) From what I see, the tango icons are taken from the Tango project. From the tarball I downloaded from tango.freedesktop.org, the license is CC-SA-2.5. One problem with it is that it is not compatible with GPL (AIUI, because it poses additional restrictions).

I do use it. Test-NeedsDisplay in fact does nothing if there is
display already running, and if not, starts... xvfb-run.
The tests of padre, however, are written in such a form, that they
delegate the task of detecting a running display to Test-NeedsDisplay.
If that module is not available, the tests are skipped, despite the
presence of display.
I agree with upstream that the task of ensuring there is display
running is better separated. It seems easy when you consider only X,
but these things are supposed to also run on alien O$-es with no X.
While not of much relevance to us, we have not taken over the world,
yet :)
I had the choices to either
- let the tests be skipped
- patch upstream to just look for $ENV{DISPLAY} or remove the check
completely
- package Test-NeedsDisplay module
Skipping the tests is not really an option to me. I want all available
automated help when building the package.
Patching would make me carry a set of patches that would never be
accepted upstream -- something I'd like to avoid.
So I went with the third option.
I hope you are now convinced that this package is needed?
