Bug#973822: ITP: dosbox-staging -- DOSBox Staging is a full x86 CPU emulator (independent of host architecture), capable of running DOS programs that require real or protected mode.

[David James]

> Cheers,

> Patryk Obara

Dear Patryk,

I am not an expert on Debian Policy, or a Debian Developer, just a passerby who 
is also interested in getting dosbox-staging into Debian.

One issue I can see with porting this package to Debian is that there are a lot 
of binary blobs in contrib/resources. Debug.com, deltree.com and xcopy.exe are 
the worst offenders. What are these executables? I see that they are legally 
redistributable but they also need to be open source and that source needs to 
be distributed with dosbox and compiled alongside it.

I'm also concerned about the CPX/CPI files in freedos-cpi and the SYS files in 
freedos-keyboard. What are these files? Is there any way to distribute them as 
source files?

Like I said, I am not an expert, so take this with a pinch of salt. I believe 
that if dosbox-staging was packaged as it is now, it would have to go into the 
contrib or non-free sections. Of course, it could be packaged without these 
files present, but I don't know if dosbox will just break without them.

Regards,

David James

Bug#1017361: ITA: postsrsd -- Sender Rewriting Scheme (SRS) lookup table for Postfix

[David Kindl]

Hi,

I’ve made merge request at salsa repo (
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/postsrsd/-/merge_requests/3), which should
make postsrsd 2.x version buildable.



I’ve updated version from upstream 2.0.9 that adds most of the commits
(since 2.0.8 version didn't include them).



I’m not a Debian dev and I’m definitely not sure if everything is ok, so I
would like to ask you, if you could review it and merge / comment on it, so
anybody who maintains the project now and has any knowledge about
releseases could take it forward.



Thanks

David

Bug#1002056: ITP: zlib-ng -- optimized zlib compression library

[David Heidelberg]

Hello,

I think it already makes sense to push zlib-ng and let it co-exist with 
zlib since you can port your software directly to the zlib-ng, which I'm 
currently doing for Mesa3D.


I dropped the zlib-ng sources into https://salsa.debian.org/dh/zlib-ng 
feel free to force push there any Debian relevant changes.


After introducing the zlib-ng, we could continue to the second phase 
migrating software still relying on zlib to zlib-ng compat layer.


What do you think?

David

* Package name: pythonprop
  Version : 0.30.1
  Upstream Contact: James Watson 
* URL : https://github.com/jawatson/pythonprop

  Programming Lang: Python3
  Description : graphical interface to the VOACAP HF propagation engine
   pythonprop is a collection of Python 3 scripts designed to create VOACAP
   input (.dat) files and plot the resulting predictions.

   mode, to produce HF propagation plots over a user-defined area from a fixed
   transmit site.
   .
   This package provides the voacapgui, voaP2PPlot and voaAreaPlot scripts. It 
is
   useful for making HF (High Frequency) circuit prediction for amateur radio
   ("ham radio") operators.

This package provides a GUI for the voacapl package [1]. I plan to
maintain it by myself initially, later proposing to include it on the
Debian Hamradio Team. I don't need a sponsor.

Bug#1063747: ITP: voacapl -- HF circuit prediction engine

[David da Silva Polverari]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: David da Silva Polverari 
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org

* Package name: voacapl
  Version : 0.7.6
  Upstream Contact: James Watson 
* URL : https://github.com/jawatson/voacapl
* License : special (public domain), CC0-1.0 and GPL-3+ parts
  Programming Lang: Fortran
  Description : HF circuit prediction engine
   voacapl is an implementation of VOACAP, the NTIA/ITS professional HF (high
   frequency) propagation prediction program, originally developed for Voice of
   America (VOA). It reads input files in the standard VOACAP format and writes
   point-to-point or area prediction data to an output file (or files).
   .
   voacapl helps amateur radio operators ("hams") predict point-to-point path
   loss and coverage of a given transceiver if given as inputs the transmitting
   and receiving antennas, solar weather, and time/date.
   .
   The suggested pythonprop package provides a graphical interface for voacapl,
   accepting inputs as fields and plotting the results as graphics.

VOACAP (Voice of America Coverage Analysis Program) is a modified
version of IONCAP (Ionospheric Communication Analysis and Prediction
Program), developed for use by Voice Of America (VOA).

Originally, IONCAP was developed by the National Telecommunications and
Information Administration (NTIA), being a model that has been under
development by the U.S. Government since 1942. The strength of the model
is that it uses world maps of ionospheric parameters to construct the
ionospheric path and uses path-specific statistics to evaluate the
system performance factors.

IONCAP was selected by the VOA in 1985 because it provided the system
performance analysis capability they needed for design specifications
and it had a proven track record.

VOACAP's enhanced model is used worldwide to predict HF point-to-point
or area data. It is often used on Microsoft Windows, distributed inside
the HFWIN32 suite [1], where it is called VOACAPW.

There is a shortage of HF prediction packages on Debian. In the past, I
had to resort to using Windows machines to make HF predictions. Thus, I
intend to package voacapl, along with its companion GUI, pythonprop,
which depends on it.

Initially, I plan to package it by myself, and I will propose including
it in the Debian Hamradio Team. I don't need a sponsor. I have already
packaged them both, and just need to make some minor adjustments.

I inherited this "wish" from a private upstream project. I'm not sure
it's strictly needed or if I can use the one from "reserialize" with

It is bad enough that apt-* is a free for all name grab outside of the
Debian archive, I would very much prefer if we would not encourage it
inside Debian at least…

Especially as this has zero mentions on deity@ and declares itself
a hack that you now want to ship with next stable even through it is
utterly unsupportable for Debian as at least I, as an APT developer,
am unwilling to declare the apt::key::gpgvcommand option a supported
interface & I don't see who else would step up…

I added this completely undocumented option in apt-key in 2015 in the
process of supporting gpgv2, so that our tests could be run against
gpgv, gpgv1 and gpgv2. As we no longer have such a need, that option
could disappear any second.

apt-key itself is heavily deprecated and might disappear in the future.
That it is used by libapt currently is also an implementation detail
(again, of the gpg2 supporting kind) we are unwilling to declare
a supported interface and could be changed any second.

I can't give you an exact time line, but I think Julian even already
wrote some PoC code for libapt, so that the parts from apt-key it
secretly reuses will no longer be needed. Its definitely on the (long)
todo list and has some likelihood of being done before trixie releases.
(And that is ignoring if calling gpgv will even remain the only option).


So, in summary, while no such thing as a VETO formally exists for ITPs,
I intend this mail to be as close to a VETO as possible – by the power
of our dear super cow.


In terms of what this actually does: I haven't looked too closely, but
it seem like you want libapt code not to just call its gpgv-method,
but to also (optionally) call a bunch of other methods before and/or
after it, which all have to approve before we can proceed. Certainly not
the easiest thing in the world to implement, but not that hard either…
after all, we have support for client-merged pdiffs (which isn't used
much nowadays, as Debian moved to server-merged pdiffs years ago) which
are downloaded in parallel and wait on each other before proceeding.
So, not rocket-science. It would also solve a bunch of problems you
already have ("it is currently not known how to find out which apt
repository (apt URL) was used") and the many you will have as soon as
you have actual users (I see e.g. apt-canary downloading files) that
you can solve only by being a proper part of the acquire process, not
by attaching yourself with duck tape and hot glue to its underbelly.
Especially not if you want this to be a security feature…

I note that solanum-ircd is a thing (although not yet in Debian).  I
guess first come first serve for the name, but it does turn out to be
surprisingly generic (at least a scan of github reveals several other
projects with the same name).

if you were not aware.

There seems to be no patching needed to get the full scipoptsuite to
build under sid (or even bullseye). I have not carefully examined what
external software is embedded in the source.  There seem to be a few
things under papilo (presolver); I'm not sure if that is used by soplex
or only by scip.

Bug#1056551: ITP: nihstro -- 3DS shader tools

* License : BSD
  Programming Lang: C, C++
  Description : 3DS shader tools

nihstro is a collection of tools for 3DS shaders targeted at homebrew 
development and/or reverse engineering. Currently, it supports assembling 
3DS shader binaries from assembly source code and disassembling shaders from 
shbin files. It also provides C++ interfaces for analyzing and runtime-
compiling shaders

I intend to package the Citra Nintendo 3DS emulator. In order to do that I
need to first package a few remaining dependencies. This is one of them.

This source package would build two binary packages, nihstro-tools and 
nihstro-headers. Nihstro-tools provides two programs for assembling 3DS
shaders. This would be useful for anyone interested in 3DS homebrow or any
Linux-based developers working on Citra itself.

Nihstro-headers is a header-only library that provides the 
functionality of nihstro-tools and is designed for integration into other 
projects. This is what Citra would link against.

I would need a sponsor to help me upload this when finished.

 OpenMRac is an open-source release of FranticWare's MultiRacer. It is a

 to 3 other opponents.
 .
 OpenMRac is simpler than TORCS, although it offers better model reflections
 than the latter.
 .
 This package contains the data files for openmrac.

This package is a dependency for openmrac [1]. I plan to maintain it by
myself initially, but I will propose maintaining it inside the games
team in the future, with me as uploader.

Unfortunately my current magpie mentor hasn't had time to rereview the

I am ever hopeful with finding some help here.

 Shards is the dependency manager for the Crystal programming language.

The project's sources are hosted on GitHub [0].

Why?

We love Ruby's efficiency for writing code.
We love C's efficiency for running code.
We want the best of both worlds.
We want the compiler to understand what we mean without having to
specify types everywhere.
We want full OOP.
Oh, and we don't want to write C code to make the code run faster.

Since you currently only supply windows MSI installers, perhaps you can
fill us in a bit on how you plan to package ArcOS for Debian. Perhaps
more importantly, maybe you can explain what advantage being shipped
with Debian will provide for users; what kind of OS integration is
possible, and why would installing via debian be better than installing

  Programming Lang: C
  Description : command-line tools to manipulate Windows PE files

readpe is a toolkit designed to analyze Microsoft Windows PE (Portable
Executable) binary files.  Its tools can parse and compare PE32/PE32+
executable files (EXE, DLL, OCX, etc), and analyze them in search of
suspicious characteristics.

It can be used to get information from those executable files, such as
headers, sections, resources and more. It also provides tools to disassemble
PE files and determine their security mitigations.  It is useful for
application security research, digital forensics and incident response, and
malware analysis.

It is similar to elftools, only designed for PE files. It has more features
than other more specific PE tools, such as icoextract or ntldd.

This package provides the ofs2rva, pedis, pehash, peldd, pepack, peres,
pescan, pesec, pestr, readpe and rva2ofs commands.

This package is a newer version of the pev package (already maintained
in Debian by me), as upstream renamed it to readpe. I plan to maintain
it inside the pkg-security team umbrella.

I am not using the package any more, and consequently doing a bad job

I have not looked very closely. Some issues I am aware of

1) As discussed, libdivecomputer. From subsurface INSTALL

Subsurface requires its own flavor of libdivecomputer which is inclduded
above as git submodule

The branches won't have a pretty history and will include ugly merges,
but they should always allow a fast forward pull that tracks what we
believe developers should build against. All our patches are contained
in the "Subsurface-DS9" branch.

This should allow distros to see which patches we have applied on top of
upstream. They will receive force pushes as we rebase to newer versions 
of
upstream so they are not ideal for ongoing development (but they are of
course easy to use for distributions as they always build "from 
scratch",
anyway).

The rationale for this is that we have no intention of forking the
project. We simply are adding a few patches on top of their latest
version and want to do so in a manner that is both easy for our
developers who try to keep them updated frequently, and anyone packaging
Subsurface or trying to understand what we have done relative to their
respective upstreams.

1.5) Submodules are a pain for most Debian workflows (except those that
 ignore the git repo).

2) There is minified js in themes/

To be honest, I doubt that helps, since the hard part is not just making
packages (my repo on salsa already does that), but making them in a way
acceptable to debian policy, which is unlikely to be a priority for a

To be fair, the PPA is kept fairly up to date, while I have not updated
my repo on salsa for years. So for personal use on debian, building
from that PPA makes sense. Alternatively, there is also

 https://dfx.at/subsurface-debian/

which is explicitely targetted at debian.

Same issue there, I don't think the author is concerned with making the
package suitable for Debian.

* URL : https://gitlab.com/lofidevops/trimgmi
* License : GPL-3.0-or-later
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Opinionated parsing of gemtext.

Gemtext (GMI) is a lightweight, line-oriented markup language designed for the 
Gemini internet protocol. This module parses gemtext, ignoring extraneous 
whitespace. Text after closing ``` marks is also ignored.

The resulting objects can be rendered line-by-line without further parsing 
logic.

Also included are:

* round-trip render back to GMI with minimal whitespace
* simple render to CommonMark
* opinionated render to HTML
* primitive command line tools for the above

Once installed Python modules should be able to "import trimgmi". Users should 
also be able to invoke "trimgmi" and "convertgmi" from the command line.

The README describes it as using /var/lib/nala/history.json, libapt
has /var/log/apt/history.log with I suppose roughly the some content,
although we don't have IDs in there and removing entries would be
strange. We have no interface for it so far though as we are as usual
chronically understaffed.

Anyway, 'undo' in relation to Upgrades triggers my spider-senses as
downgrades are in general not supported. The screenshots avoid that
problem supposedly by being only about installing a bunch of new
packages and eventually removing these packages again.


> […] Nala improves upon the hardwork of the apt […]

You don't mention it here, but the README features it first (after the
UI thing): Parallel Downloads.

My personal opinion on opening multiple connections to the same server
for parallel downloads aside, the bigger improvement seems to be that
you can use multiple different mirrors… except that all libapt client
can do that assuming you configure it: apt-transport-mirror(1).
(or the packages come from different sources to begin with).

As your entire downloading and verification process is written by you
rather than using libapt I would prefer a note here mentioning this.
I am of course totally biased, but I have seen enough "apt-fast"
variants doing this completely wrong while unsuspecting users were under
the impression that its just some shiny frontend on top of the good
old battle tested libapt implementations.

(Again, see Disclaimer. This is not a security review. I also don't want
 to imply that you have security bugs. Heck, perhaps libapt has more.
 My point is entirely on: Please be upfront on rolling your own)

That is two different things. A request to get it into Debian is
a Request For Packaging (RFP) – any user can ask and if the stars align
perhaps someone finds it useful enough to also want it in Debian
with the additional motivation to maintain the package within Debian
and wants to claim the work for themselves.

That is what an Intend to Package (ITP) is for. Writing debian/ once
is easy enough, the hard part is maintaining it over time. I (well,
Julian I guess, as I don't speak Python) will e.g. pester the maintainer
for this package in transitions to adapt to our newer APIs. So will the
Python teams. That might or might not align with upstream work. In
the mean time you as the maintainer (if upstream hasn't) are supposed to
interact with the security team. Your 'critical' bugfix in v0.6.0 e.g.
is a bug worthy of a CVE and would need to be backported into older
versions for stable and every other release supported by Debian (ideally
with coordination with the other distros with embargos and such).
If Upstreams solution to that problem was so far to "just upgrade to the
newest version" at least one of you is in for some work (I know you are
both, its just easier to realize that these are two different jobs if we
pretend you are not).

And last but not least: If you decide you want to be a maintainer, head
over to debian-mentors and read about Requests For Sponsorship (RFS)
which helps you getting your ITP package you prepared into Debian while
you are still learning the ropes and hence do not have rights to upload
unsupervised into Debian yourself yet.

(As this is python, the python team might be interested in helping
 maintaining it if you apply to them. While I would be happy if you
 would try to interact with us from the apt team, I don't think we
 have the resources to help you with packaging through.)

Bug#652580: a working package ready for review and testing

[David A. Redick]

The source has been moved from gitorious to github.

https://github.com/david-a-redick/beret

https://github.com/david-a-redick/beret-data

Doing `make debian-build` in each will produce all the various
artifacts in the parent directory (via debuild).

This is my first attempt at packaging for Debian so I might have missed
something.

Please let me know what my next steps are?

Bug#1005126: RFP: vgrep -- a user-friendly pager for grep

[David Härdeman]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: vgrep
  Version : 2.6.0
  Upstream Author : Valentin Rothberg 
* URL : https://github.com/vrothberg/vgrep
* License : GPL-3.0
  Programming Lang: Go
  Description : a user-friendly pager for grep

vgrep is a pager for grep, git-grep, ripgrep and similar grep
implementations, and allows for opening the indexed file locations in a
user-specified editor such as vim or emacs. vgrep is inspired by the
ancient cgvg scripts but extended to perform further operations such as
listing statistics of files and directory trees or showing the context
lines before and after the matches.

For example, consider answering the following questions:
 - why is this package useful/relevant? is it a dependency for
   another package? do you use it? if there are other packages
   providing similar functionality, how does it compare?

vgrep allows quick grepping through a source tree and opening the
matching files at the correct line in your editor of choice. Great for
refactoring code.

Packages for other distributions already exist (and can be converted
using alien), but a native package in Debian would be great.

Yes, I can see the version difference, but not what actual difference it

I think package-install is behaving as documented here. If I go to tramp in
package-list-packages, and select install, it installs fine.

We use elpa to mean the packaging standard, not the archive site. In

it now.

There is nothing automatic about it. It requires real humans to do real
work packaging and maintaining those packages. 

In general RFP bugs have a low closure rate because you are asking
someone else to do work on a problem they are not necessarily interested
