Bug#466336: O: ikvm -- Java virtual machine/compiler implemented in .NET (Mono)

2008-02-17 Thread Dave Beckett
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


I intend to orphan the ikvm package.


To any future maintainer:

There are lots of packaging problems that ikvm 0.36.0.5 have
including needing extra source packages, plus licensing concerns of
combining OpenJDK, Classpath and IKVM code, some of which is only
available in unreleased software.  A complete pain I'd imagine.

ikvm is a b*gger to build and regularly fails when the mono
toolchain changes (which is often).  It also fails to build on
many architectures.

Good luck.

Bug#477064: RFA: nant -- .NET build tool similar to Ant

2008-04-20 Thread Dave Beckett
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


I request an adopter for the nant package as I no longer use
or have interest in .NET/mono.

The package description is:
 NAnt is different.  Instead of a model where it is extended with
 shell-based commands, NAnt is extended using task classes.  Instead of
 writing shell commands, the configuration files are XML-based, calling
 out a target tree where various tasks get executed.  Each task is run
 by an object that implements a particular Task interface.


There are two serious bugs on nant:
1) #475213: nant: FTBFS: [csc]
   /build/user/nant-0.85/src/NAnt.DotNet/Tasks/ScriptTask.cs(519,50):
   error CS0612:
   `System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadWithPartialName(string)' is
   obsolete   
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=475213

This isn't important I feel, since once built by the maintainer, nant
never needs rebuilding.

2) #374634: nant: includes binary-only copies of nunit, SharpZipLib
   and log4net in source tarball (DFSG ยง2 violation) 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=374634

Requires a tedious and complex dive into nant's wierd build system.

I'm the maintainer of the core cairo packages for debian.It is a
supported API which is a good reason to package it.

If you want this in Debian and can do the packaging, I might be able to
sponsor it for you.  I'm not really a C++ developer so I would mostly be
only checking it on the packaging side of things.

Are you actually using cairomm under Debian?  If not, then you can't
really maintain it there.

Danilo doesn't use Debian so can't really maintain it properly.  I
propose to use his packaging and maintain it myself especially as gtkmm

libsvg is dead upstream and not supported, not under development.
I talked to Carl today and he was surprised OOo was using it.

librsvg is something that is supported, maybe you can get them to use that..
Otherwise, you become the maintainer of libsvg :)

Hello, as you can see I'm the author, and I'm also a Debain Developer.

I was looking at the thread on debian-mentors about this
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg51084.html

With respect to example.c - that should be in the public domain, I've
made it so in SVN.

My only other comment on the packaging is that very likely the FTP masters
would reject it because there are two packages with only a couple of files:
flickcurl, flickrdf and their man pages.  In a real package layout I
expect a flickcurl-utils package that contained both would be
more acceptible to them, although you can never tell.

Bug#558137: test debian package of 4store

2010-06-15 Thread Dave Beckett
I made a test package of 4store 1.0.3 (latest release) at

http://download.dajobe.org/debian/unstable/

Based on a much derived version of some earlier work.
It builds and is relatively lintian clean but I haven't tested it.

It makes a new user 'fourstore' but I've just remembered it still starts it
as root instead of setuid with start-stop-daemon.  Nevermind - that'll have
to be in another attempt.

The server doesn't start at package install since there are no DB files
created, but otherwise the init scripts are built.

So if you want to run it as root, install this and then
  sudo /etc/init.d/4store start

2005-04-08 Thread Dave Beckett
Are there any public debs of this yet?  We were discussing it on #debian-mono
and I checked the ITP for news.Good to see the icon has been sorted out.

There's no chance of it reaching sarge, that's clear as it depends on mono
which isn't going in.  However if it goes into unstable that'd be great.

I'm a DD and happy to sponsor it.

Bug#272264: tomboy debs for mono 1.0 and mono 1.1

2005-04-15 Thread Dave Beckett
Having got no reply to my status query for a week, I've made some tomboy
debs.

I looked at the version on mentors but instead decided to start
with the ubuntu packaging and go from there, fixing the images problem. 
I've made a couple of versions now, the most recent one for the mono 1.1
debs that the Debian Mono Group is testing at present. The results are
lintian, linda clean and work ok.

The debs for
  mono 1.0 (tomboy 0.3.2-1)
  mono 1.1 experimental http://debian.meebey.net/mono/ (tomboy 0.3.2-3)
are at
  http://download.dajobe.org/debian/experimental/

I think Tomboy is ready to go into the archive, at least in
experimental, probably tracking the mono1 .1 debs.  I didn't do the ITP,
but if it's still hanging about in a week, I'd like to take it forward.

You might be interested in bug #205346
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=205346
which is the WNPP for cairo.

I've been building Mono cvs against it for months, and
as part of that, the libgdiplus against the above cairo
debs.  The current (going in today) sid packages for mono
don't link against the latest cairo sources and use the obsolete
libic, libpixregion that are replaced with libpixman.  At least
that's what I found when I tried the earlier ones hosted off alioth.

Happy to coordinate to get this all working.

In reply: I'm waiting to become a DD before uploading this rather
than bug my sponsor more.  I've been packaging it for a long time at;
  http://cairographics.org/packages/debian/

It looks like this closer than it was recently since I completed the
new maintainer process months ago, an account looks nearer.

In more relevant news, the newer cairo is using more of glitz and
will benefit from it.  The interface isn't considered stable yet by
the cairo developers but stable-ish, so it'll need careful build
checking.

Bug#276096: eclipse 3.1 in debian

2005-08-01 Thread Dave Beckett
After I emailed the bug, I ported the ubuntu packages to debian, fixing
a few problems with dependencies.

It takes about 1.3G of disk, 500M+ of /tmp and 100Ms of memory and 30+
minutes to build on system.

and still isn't quite working yet:

$ /usr/bin/eclipse
/usr/bin/eclipse: line 4: /usr/share/java-common/java-common.sh: No such
file or directory
/usr/bin/eclipse: line 5: jvm_find: command not found

which seems to be caused by using files in the java-common package from
ubuntu (0.23ubuntu3) which are not in the debian one (0.23).

I also think eclipse-ecj should Conflict: and Replace: ecj-bootstrap so
that installing eclipse-ecj kicks out ecj-bootstrap.

The resulting binaries I'm not wanting to host myself but 've put the
diff I've got so far at http://people.debian.org/~dajobe/eclipse/

I'm not very interested in maintaining it, but as the maintainer of ikvm
I'd like it build as ikvm's latest release now needs either
ecj-bootstrap or eclipse-ecj to compile.  I'm presently using the
former.

That's a rather bizarre rumour.


Yes, rather.


http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2005/07/gecko_19.html

In any case, Dave is also the libcairo maintainer for Debian, so is well
positioned to know its status.


The rumours are entirely wrong.

Cairo has just shipped the first release (0.9.0) with APIs and ABIs now 
now maintained as stable.  1.0 should appear very shortly.


It's being used by GNU classpath (for Java 2D) used with GCJ 4.0, Mozilla 
Firefox (for SVG), Mono (for 2D graphics/GDI+), Gnome Pango/GTK+ 2.7+ for 
all it's rendering and probably several other projects.


If anything, it's more mature and developed than ever.

It has been available and packaged by myself in Debian for several years 
and on the Cairo site itself, there are debs for the entire  suite of 
Cairo-related software which are not appropriate for entering Debian:

  http://cairographics.org/packages/debian/

Remember guys, don't believe all you read, especially anything on
OSNews :)

Bug#253750: ITP: rasqal -- Rasqal RDF query library

2004-06-10 Thread Dave Beckett
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: rasqal
  Version : 0.9.0
  Upstream Author : Dave Beckett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://www.redland.opensource.ac.uk/rasqal/
* License : LGPL/MPL
  Description : Rasqal RDF query library

 Rasqal is a C library providing full support for querying RDF including
 parsing query syntaxes, constructing the queries, executing them and
 returning result bindings.  It currently handles the
 RDF Data Query Language (RDQL) language.

 Rasqal is designed for performance, flexibility and embedding (no
 memory leaks) and to track ongoing RDF query language work.


I have made initial packages which are available at
  http://www.redland.opensource.ac.uk/dist/binaries/debian/
as librasqal0, librasqal0-dev and rasqal-utils

I'm the maintainer of the libcairo library and have from time-to-time
packaged libgtkcairo for myself (I could probably refresh these). I also
look after other cairo deb preview packages at
http://cairographics.org/packages/debian/

The cairo API is not totally stable and needs careful updates with
it's dependencies and it's requirements, these are likely to change
over time as more backends are already under development (such as
glitz, already ITPed but upstream says is not ready for use).

I would prefer that this is co-ordinated closely with the libcairo
packaging since it will need close version dependencies and checks.

In reply: I'm waiting to become a DD before uploading this rather
than bug my sponsor more.  I've been packaging it for a long time at;
  http://cairographics.org/packages/debian/

It looks like this closer than it was recently since I completed the
new maintainer process months ago, an account looks nearer.

In more relevant news, the newer cairo is using more of glitz and
will benefit from it.  The interface isn't considered stable yet by
the cairo developers but stable-ish, so it'll need careful build
checking.
