Bug#840976: ITP: gitano -- Gitano - Git service manager
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Daniel Silverstone * Package name: gitano Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Daniel Silverstone * URL : https://www.gitano.org.uk/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: Lua Description : Gitano - Git service manager Gitano is a Git service manager along similar lines to Gitosos or Gitolite. Gitano is focussed on being configured entirely via Git and can be commanded over SSH. Gitano has support for running hooks with limited functionality in a sandbox so as to allow for untrusted parties writing hook code. Gitano also has a fully-fledged ACL system which allows individual projects to create their own rulesets, along with supporting complex delegable permissions. Gitano has been in development for a number of years now and is used by a number of Debian developers and a non-trivial number of git servers. It is finally in a state which I believe to be long-term supportable and as such I would like it to be in Stretch. Initially the Debian packaging will be maintained by myself; but I have one or two people who contribute to Gitano and its dependencies who may be prepared to co-maintain over time. D.
Bug#840917: ITP: tongue -- Lua I18N library 'Tongue'
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Daniel Silverstone * Package name: tongue Version : 0.8 Upstream Author : Daniel Silverstone * URL : https://git.gitano.org.uk/tongue.git * License : BSD Programming Lang: Lua Description : Lua I18N library 'Tongue' Tongue is an internationalisation engine written in Lua which implements a hierarchical language pack system for Lua programs to use in localising messages into and out of themselves. This package is a dependency of Gitano which I am trying to get packaged into Stretch. This is the last dependency which needs adding to Debian as far as I can tell, before Gitano can go in. I will be maintaining the package myself to begin with; though I do have two potentially interested others for co-maintenance. D.
Bug#840726: ITP: lace -- Lua Access Control Engine
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Daniel Silverstone * Package name: lace Version : 1.3 Upstream Author : Daniel Silverstone * URL : https://www.gitano.org.uk/lace/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: Lua Description : Lua Access Control Engine Lace is an access control engine written in Lua which implements a squid-like ACL system for Lua programs to use in controlling access to resources. Lace provides a parser of rulesets and an engine to execute the parsed rulesets. It relies on the calling application to provide access control types and then Lace runs the boolean logic and returns an allow/deny result along with the location of the decision and any description provided by it. Lace is part of the dependencies for Gitano which I am trying to get packaged and into Stretch. Initially I shall be maintaining the package myself, but I do have two possible assistants lined up. D.
Bug#840724: ITP: gall -- Git Abstraction Layer for Lua
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Daniel Silverstone * Package name: gall Version : 1.1 Upstream Author : Daniel Silverstone * URL : https://git.gitano.org.uk/gall.git/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: C, Lua Description : Git Abstraction Layer for Lua Gall is a Git abstraction layer for Lua which implements a set of Lua objects which can interact with git repositories (via libgit2 where possible). Gall allows a Lua program to examine refs and objects, and to fully create git commits without needing to create a working tree on disk. Gall is part of the set of packages which are the dependencies of Gitano which I am working toward packaging for Stretch. Initially I shall maintain the package, but I have one or two potential assistants, neither of which are DDs or DMs (yet). D.
Bug#840611: ITP: supple -- Lua strict sandbox
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Daniel Silverstone * Package name: supple Version : 1.0.5 Upstream Author : Daniel Silverstone * URL : https://git.gitano.org.uk/supple.git/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: C, Lua Description : Lua strict sandbox Supple is a very strict sandbox which runs Lua code on behalf of applications which cannot trust the code very much. Supple is a dependency of Gitano which I am working towards releasing with Debian Stretch. Maintainership will be myself initially, with one or two willing assistants in the future. They are not yet DDs or DMs though. D.
Bug#839703: ITP: lua-scrypt -- Lua binding to libscrypt
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Daniel Silverstone * Package name: lua-scrypt Version : 1.1 Upstream Author : Daniel Silverstone * URL : https://git.gitano.org.uk/lua-scrypt.git/ * License : ISC Programming Lang: C, Lua Description : Lua binding to libscrypt Lua binding to the libscrypt implementation of the scrypt password-based key derivation function. The library binds both the hash and verify operations. This package is a dependency of Gitano, which I am preparing to upload to Debian. I am the upstream developer and will be maintaining the package with help from one or two prospective DMs. D.
Bug#839699: ITP: clod -- Configuration Language Organised (by) Dots
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Daniel Silverstone * Package name: clod Version : 1.0.1 Upstream Author : Daniel Silverstone * URL : https://www.gitano.org.uk/clod/ * License : ISC Programming Lang: Lua Description : Configuration Language Organised (by) Dots Clod is a configuration language written in Lua which implements a simple dotted key/value pair system which tries to keep programmatic edits in-line with what humans would do in a similar situation. This is a dependency of Gitano (A git server written in Lua which focusses on keeping everything in Git, including hooks). I am the upstream and will maintain it primarily; though I have offers from at least one, possibly two prospective DMs to help. D.

That worked just fine for me. Obviously it's not ideal since it won't be necessarily up-to-date policy-wise, but it was good. Gunnar was maintaining it on git.debian.org using git-buildpackage's infra. Since then, upstream has moved to git themselves (on github) so we should probably just migrate to that git history and add the debian/ dir in. Let me know if you want me to do any of this.

Bug#648256: Potentially interested in co-maintaining Cherokee
Hi, I have recently been in touch with upstream (Stefan de Konink) and have been assisting with a few bugs in Cherokee. I'd be interested in helping with the packaging since I will need to maintain updated Cherokee packages for myself for a Wheezy server anyway. Are you interested in co-maintaining the package in Sid?

Bug#339009: O: lua50 -- Lua 5.0.2
Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2005-11-14 Severity: normal I have no time to continue looking after the Lua packages. They have languished unloved now for some time and have a few open bugs against them, at least one of which is serious (a rebuild is needed against readline 5) I am so busy with work that even simple maintenance is a pain and thus would appreciate it if someone would take the packages over. They're very light work and rarely need changing. The software doesn't get many updates. Thanks, Daniel. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

It seems from the description that > sablevm-test-suite is something that is specific to SableVM and > is used by the SableVM developers to prevent regression bugs, etc.. This is, indeed, the nub of the problem and the point of my enquiry. > Could you explain why should this be in the archive? Who would > use this package? This is what I wanted to know. I guess my REJECT message wasn't clear enough. I get the impression Grzegorz really doesn't want it integrated into the sablevm package and if the package really is of use to people other than JVM developers then okay. But if it *really* is just a jvm tester with no use to end-users, then it doesn't make sense to put it into Debian.

Bug#153977: O: xinetd -- An inetd replacement with interesting extra functionality
Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-07-23 Severity: normal Hi, Due to increasing home commitments, family and pets particularly. Also greater work commitments, and a desire to get back to grass-roots coding, I am giving up one or two of my more high-maintainence packages. xinetd is a package which I originally adopted in order to fix some problems with the configuration managment which was destroying the configs on my server, it has proven a very interesting package to handle and upstream do seem to respond to questions (eventually) -- It has become a bit too much for me due to problems in the lack of testing upstream subject the software to before release. As such, I would like someone to take it off my hands. I can't really continue to manage it with all my other jobs :( xinetd would be better maintained by a seasoned debian developer, although it could prove to be a very interesting project for a dedicated and skilled person currently in the NM process. I would be prepared to mentor (at a low-level of communication) someone who wanted to adopt xinetd and become a developer, on the proviso that they find someone else to sponsor them in.

Bug#100328: ITA and ITNMU
Hi, I have been using xinetd for a few months and like it. Unfortunately there are issues, like the fact that the version in testing/unstable is old and also marked as hackable by the xinetd folks. I am prepared to adopt the package if other people who have mentioned an ITA don't get around to it fairly soon. In the mean time, unless someone is working frantically on xinetd, I'll prepare an NMU to cover some of the more obvious problems in the package.

Bug#104231: ITP: dbishell -- Interactive SQL shell with readline support
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist dbishell is a project currently residing on Sourceforge which is a powerful terminal based client for many databases.
