Hi

Thanks for the feedback.

There's a distinction between when you do the consideration and when
you do the installation. The point here is that things go more smoothly
if you install the relevant support packages *together* with the main
one. That emphasis is lost in your version. (Perhaps "installing [...]
together with this package" would be an improvement). That said, this
wording has been in place since 2009...

On a more technical note, "Consider to install" is incorrect; it should
be "Consider installing".

 Request Tracker (RT) is a ticketing system which
 enables a group of people to intelligently and efficiently manage
 tasks, issues, and requests submitted by a community of users. It
 features web, email, and command-line interfaces (see the package
 rt5-clients).
 .
 RT manages key tasks such as the identification, prioritization,
 assignment, resolution, and notification required by
 enterprise-critical applications, including project management, help
 desk, NOC ticketing, CRM, and software development.
 .
 This package provides the 5 series of RT. It can be installed alongside
 the 3.8 and 4 series without any problems.
 .
 This package provides the core of RT.
 .
 This package supports three database types out of the box: MySQL,
 PostgreSQL and SQLite. In order to support a zero-configuration install,
 SQLite will be used by default, but is not recommended for production
 use. Please see /usr/share/doc/request-tracker5/NOTES.Debian for more
 details and consider installing rt5-db-postgresql or rt5-db-mysql at
 the same time as this package.

This package is the next major release of the software currently
packaged as request-tracker4, and the packaging is a branch of that.

It will be mainted by the RT packaging team,

Hello,

Unfortunately the perl-doc-html maintainer orphaned the package last year
so it was removed so that it didn't reflect the wrong version of perl
shipped in that release.

It won't be possible (even if there was the will from someone)
to add it back to Debian 10 after the fact due to Debian's release
policies. There are some ideas about how to get it back into Debian in
 and
 so if someone
wanted to work on that it could be restored for Debian 11.

Since I last looked at this it appears there has been some work in
revitalising perldoc.perl.org which had itself fallen into unmaintained
mode if I recall.

If anyone would be interested in working on this please ping me so we
can discuss if/how it should be integrated into the perl packages.

Cheers,
Dominic.

Bug#907273: Alternative approach

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Hi,

Thanks for your work maintaining perl-doc-html. 

For the bug record: there has been a long-standing bug in perl (#154963) which
discusses a better way of producing a perl-doc-html package. One option
is to continue to maintain perl-doc-html but with the data coming directly
from perl (which would likely mean a complete overhaul of perl-doc-html).

If someone is interested in adopting this package, that would
probably be a good route forward. But either way, we should probably not
let this slip into the next release with outdated versions, so
I'll file a separate bug against perl-doc-html linked to the perl 5.28
transition, as it appears I never did file the bug I said I would in
#154963.

Cheers,
Dominic.

Hello,

I'm afraid this work has entirely stalled as I don't have a current
need for this module, although upstream did fix the copyright notice.
If you would like to take on packaging ntlm-auth/updating pywinrm
within the python packaging team that'd be great. Otherwise, I will
get to it eventually...

Bug#882807: RFP: liblocale-codes-perl -- a distribution of modules to handle locale codes

  Description : a distribution of modules to handle locale codes

>From the POD:

Locale-Codes is a distribution containing a set of modules designed to
work with sets of codes which uniquely identify something. For example,
there are codes associated with different countries, different currencies,
different languages, etc. These sets of codes are typically maintained in
some standard.

This module is currently part of perl core, but will be deprecated in
5.28, so will need to be distributed separately, and recommended for a
release cycle, in the usual way.

In addition it's worth noting here that the reason for the deprecation is
that the data in it needs to be kept up to date to a greater extent than
practical in the perl-bundled version. So it might be a package which
needs to get updated in stable-update from time to time. Then again,
as far as we can tell no Debian user has found the current situation to
be a problem.

I did think of this, but I assume that it wouldn't be in RT upstream's
interest to accept such a patch (for the reason stated in the above
justification for the fork), nor in Debian's interest to permanently
deviate from upstream in this way.

As for the concern about the Amazon::S3 being unmaintained - I
haven't done a detailed investigation but I would guess that the fact
that RT adopted it in their new release means that it is at least good
enough for them.

Upstream: can anyone comment on the decision to go with Amazon::S3
rather than Net::Amazon::S3?

Dominic.

file operations.

Amazon::S3 provides a portable client interface to Amazon Simple Storage

XML::LibXML tying it to that specific and often difficult to install
option. In order to remove this potential barrier to entry, this module

That all makes sense. I will try and find some time to have a crack of

The freeze of stretch is in January (soft freeze), so we still have a

Hi,

Not that I have vast amounts of free time, but I do care about
munin packaging, so I can offer to put a little bit of time into a
team effort.

What's the current status, thuough? The last update on the rfh bug

What are the main tasks/priorities other than bug squashing? Is an

That's #783213. The basic packaging is done[1], but I haven't managed to
get the database schema manipulation during installs done for a long

This sounds like a reasonable idea, although we would definitely want

Bug#796960: RFA: wordpress-shibboleth

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I no longer use this software, so am not in a position to test that
new versions work. It has a low popcon and no bugs currently, but there
is a new upstream release to package, so I'd be pleased to have someone
take over the package to integrate that.

Cheers,
Dominic.

Bug#639719: Orphaning

[Dominic Hargreaves]

I'm now orphaning this package as I haven't used it for some years now.
I've pushed the repository to collab-maint[0] to make it easy for people
to pick up if needed. I'll keep [1] alive until as and when someone
does a QA upload.

Thanks,
Dominic.

Hmm, my understanding is that 1.9.x is exactly what upstream
weren't keen on us packaging. My personal interest is of ircd-hybrid,
which is supported in 1.8.x, so unless there are some really
compelling reasons to switch to 1.9 I'm likely to stick with it.
Maybe it's better to have a separate anope-1.9 for those who need it,
if upstream approve and there is someone to do the work?

Bug#661341: ITP: anope -- a set of IRC Services designed for flexibility and ease of use

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Aha, great, thanks! Christoph, how do you want to proceed. Are you
interested in packaging 1.8.8? (I assume your current packaging is
based on 1.9.x) or would you like me to take care of it, or
collaborate?

Cheers,
Dominic.

This is indeed a shame. (I filed a duplicate of this at #698807; sorry
that I didn't see this one).

My own interest in anope stems from being the maintainer for ircd-hybrid,
whose authors recommend anope over any other services. ircd-hybrid 8
is in experimental and I'm hoping to upload it to unstable shortly after
the wheezy release. ircd-hybrid 8 is not compatible with hybserv (which
has in any case been removed from Debian) and so I am keen to seen
anope enter Debian so that ircd-hybrid can continue be an option for
a services-supported ircd in Debian.

I noticed that anope 1.8.8 has now been released, with ircd-hybrid 8
support.

Anope team, do you have any more thoughts on this - would you be happy to
see Debian package of 1.8.8 appear? I wasn't party to the original
discussion with Christoph.

Cheers,
Dominic.

Bug#698807: RFP: anope -- Anope is a set of IRC Services designed for flexibility and ease of use

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: anope
  Version : 1.8.x
  Upstream Author : t...@anope.org
* URL : http://www.anope.org/team.php
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Anope is a set of IRC Services designed for flexibility and 
ease of use

Anope provides implementations of the following IRC services:

* NickServ - nickname management services
* ChanServ - channel management services
* MemoServ - send memos to users or channels
* OperServ - operator utility services
* BotServ - channel bot services
* HostServ - virtual host services

Note: this is being recommended by the ircd-hybrid project instead of
hybserv, which is not being actively developed any more. The 1.8.x branch
(maintained at https://github.com/anope/anope/) contains unreleased code
which includes support for ircd-hybrid 8 (which is currently in Debian
experimental, maintained by me) so it may be appropriate to cherry-pick
some patches from git to get a working services implementation for
ircd-hybrid 8 in Debian pending a stable release of 1.8.x including that
support.

Note: I am filing this as an RFP initially, but if I get some time in
the future I may take this packaging on myself. But don't let that stop
you working on the package!

Yes, but I'm not sure there's any need to do that. I was more musing on
the definition of an application really. However I suppose your observation
does support using the application-style name 'starlet'. Starlet does pull
in Server::Starter as a dependency, so that's clearly how it's expected
to be used.

I think I'll go ahead with an upload with the name 'starlet' unless
I hear to the contrary soon.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Dominic.

These are now available, so I am going to package this. However I wanted
to check whether starlet was really the right name. I picked this to be
similar to starman, but there is a difference: there is no starlet command;
it needs to be run using start_server or similar. Notably, start_server
is actually provided by libserver-starter-perl (not server-starter).

Starlet is a PSGI application, but the pkg-perl policy doesn't make
any reference to this type of package for naming, so it could arguably
be treated as either when it comes to naming.

Any ideas?

Dominic.

If any child processes have exited, this call will "reap" the zombies

block until a child exits (or it gets a signal).

I agree with everything you said :) ITP just has the details from the

Bug#692789: ITP: hybserv -- IRC services for IRCD-Hybrid

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Dominic Hargreaves 

* Package name: hybserv
  Version : 1.9.2
  Upstream Author : Patrick Alken and Dinko Korunic
* URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/hybserv2/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : IRC services for IRCD-Hybrid

HybServ is a daemon that connects to your IRCD-Hybrid server and
automagically provides nickname, channel, memo, and oper services to your
entire network if it is configured correctly to talk with your IRC server.

In short, these allow users to register nicknames and channels to prevent
EFnet-style takeovers thereof, allow opers to easily manage glines, klines,
and other server settings, and allow users with registered nicknames to
leave messages for others.

HybServ is the services package of choice on IRC networks such as Aniverse.

Note: this would be a reintroduction of the package which was removed
from testing and unstable earlier this year; please see

Bug#664558: Licensing for OSTN02 data

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Hi,

Sorry for the long gap since my previous correspondence on this issue.

I have one more request which might be a good compromise we're all happy
with; would you be happy with stating that the data may be modified, but
that if the result is changed it is no longer called 'OSTN02'?

This would allow us to fit this software package in with the Free
Software Guidelines whilst retaining the assurance you are reasonably
striving for.

I'm CCing this message to a public bugtracker; I would be grateful if
you could include the CCes in your reply, and unless you specify
otherwise I will assume that replies may be publicly distributed.

Thanks,
Dominic.

Bug#687427: RFP: starlet -- a simple, high-performance PSGI/Plack HTTP server

* Package name: starlet

  Upstream Author : Kazuho Oku 
* URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Starlet/

  Description : a simple, high-performance PSGI/Plack HTTP server

Starlet is a standalone HTTP/1.0 server with keep-alive support, formerly known 
as Plack::Server::Standalone::Prefork and 
Plack::Server::Standalone::Prefork::Server::Starter.

Starlet is designed and implemented to be simple, secure and fast, especially 
for running as a HTTP application server running behind a reverse proxy. It 
only depends on a minimal number of well-designed (and well-focused) modules.

On the other hand if you are looking for a standalone preforking HTTP server 
that receives HTTP requests directly from the Internet, then you should look at 
Starman.

Hello Dominic

Thank you for your reply.

Our technical support team are happy that the NTv2 data can be
incorporated in any way you see fit provided the "NTv2 format OSTN02
data is (c) UK MOD Crown Copyright, 2002. All rights reserved." notice
is included. The data can be modified "to fit" but as long as it
produces the same result at the end.

I do hope you will find this helpful.

Kind regards

Neil.

Hello Neil,

Thanks for your reply, and for the clarificaton that the logo does not
need to be displayed.

With regards to the other modifications: the point is not that any
modifications are desired at the moment, but that it is important in
principle for software included in Debian that it *can* be modified if
needed; this includes the data from the OS which has been incorporated
into the software.

This principle forms the basis of free/open source software. You can
find out more about this in the links I provided earlier.

What would be ideal from our perspective would be a modification of the
licence terms of the OSTN02 data. An example of how this is sometimes
done is

http://www.debian.org/misc/bsd.license

Regards,
Dominic.

Bug#664558: Licensing for OSTN02 data

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Hello,

Would you be able to put me in touch with the relevant department
concerning the licence grants related to the OSTN02 data
described at

<http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/gps/osnetfreeservices/furtherinfo/ostn02_ntv2.html>?

I have a query relating to use of this data in Free (please see [1] for
what I mean by this) software; in particular I would like to be able
to use this data in the widely used Debian GNU/Linux operating system.

You can find information about my request for some software to be
included at

<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=664558>

The crux of the question is whether you would be able to clarify whether
you consider that the licence allows modification, in order to meet one
of the essential definitions here:

http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines

as well as whether you can relax the requirement for the display of the 
logo since the software in question is a library package and as such has
no way to display the logo.

Please note that I have CCed this request to a publicly archived email
address corresponding to the above bug report. I hope that you will
feel able to include the CC in any response.

Many thanks,
Dominic.

I *think* that Crown Copyright itself does not change anything
significantly in this context. I agree that the licence you've quoted
is potentially problematic, so CCing debian-legal for more considered
opinion.

Hmm, okay, I'm a bit concerned that this could end up with the
package in a similarly uncertain state to its current one. I'd like
to start by inviting you to join up to the mailing list[1] and submit
patches against the git repository[2], though, and will do my best to
provide feedback on your changes.

>From the next upload, bugs will go to the mailing list since I've

Bug#657240: RFA: movabletype-opensource -- A well-known blogging engine

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the movabletype-opensource package.

The package description is:
 MovableType is a popular blogging, or web publishing platform. It
 provides an easy to use web interface to publishing blogs and contains
 many features and plugins.

I've recently updated the package to the current upstream release, but
I don't use this package very heavily and it would benefit from some
fresh interest. The packaging would also benefit from an overhaul.

The sources are in git[1].

Package: wnpp

* Package name: libhtml-diff-perl
  Version : 0.561
  Upstream Author : Ezra elias kilty Cooper 
* URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/HTML-Diff/

  Description : show the changes between two HTML documents

This module compares two strings of HTML and returns a list of a chunks
which indicate the diff between the two input strings, where changes in
formatting are considered changes.

HTML::Diff does not strictly parse the HTML. Instead, it uses regular
expressions to make a decent effort at understanding the given HTML. As a
result, there are many valid HTML documents for which it will not produce
the correct answer. But there may be some invalid HTML documents for which
it gives you the answer you're looking for. Your mileage may vary; test it
on lots of inputs from your domain before relying on it.

Okay (I see that you are using RT4 now from other bug reports).

I've retitled this to be RT version independent; I don't think we should
be adding new RT3.8 packages, since we're quite close to removing RT 3.8
from unstable (#647126)

Thanks,
Dominic.

Hi Olivier,

Just a note to let you know that RT 3.8 won't be around in Debian
for much longer (likely to be removed before wheezy. Did you have a
particular requirement for an RT3.8 version of this extension, and do
you know whether this extension works with RT4?

Cheers,
Dominic.

It's unlikely that 3.01 will be included in any 5.14 release, based on
my understanding of the 5.14 maint policy, so if you want that fix, it'll
probably need to be packaged separately (we could patch it locally if
needed, but that is likely to confuse more than help; I think we've
avoided upgrading CPAN modules in perl except for serious problems).

Otherwise, it's likely that 5.14.x will indeed end up in unstable before
too long; that's certainly my hope, although I've not heard back from the
release team on #637809 yet.

If you want to upload libterm-ansicolor-perl before then, no objections
from me; we'll pick up the addition of the new dual-lived module package
with Niko's nifty scripts, and include the relevant control fields in a
subsequent upload.

Cheers,
Dominic.

Bug#639719: RFA: ezmlm-browse -- Web browser for ezmlm-idx archives

[Dominic Hargreaves]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the ezmlm-browse package.

The package description is:
 This is ezmlm-browse, a web interface for browsing ezmlm-idx (version
 0.40 or later) archives.  The default presentation is similar to that
 of the ezmlm-cgi archive browser that is part of ezmlm-idx, but with
 the addition of threaded subjects and online posting / replying.
 However, the output is completely template drive, so you can make it
 fit into your current web scheme.

I adopted this package last year in order to tidy it up a bit and fix
some RC bugs before the squeeze release; however it's likely that I won't
be using ezmlm-browse myself for much longer.

At the time of writing, a new upstream version is awaiting packaging.

My git repository


contains some work-in-progress on this; the TODO list is:

- fix ezmlm-browse-reconfig (error: ImportError: No module named globals)
- Automatically run ezmlm-browse-reconfig in postinst
- Clean up obsolete /etc/ezmlm-browse/Makefile in postinst
- What to do about HTML templates; previously conffiles
- Is zip file dist method okay?
- Install wrapper as an alternative (user could dpkg-statoverride it)

Please get in touch if you'd like to adopt this package, or even just
contribute some fixes to the version in git.

Hi Lucas,

I wanted to flag that the message you included in your mass-closures
is not sent to submitters. When I received your email my first
thought was that the package had in fact been created, since there was
no information to the contrary.

In any case I will reopen this one as you suggest, since I would still
be interested in such a package.

Cheers,
Dominic.

It's currently part of the core perl distribution, but that packaging
of it has been deprecated in 5.14 and will be removed in 5.16. As per
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580034> we plan to
patch the built-in warnings which will recommend installing from CPAN
instead with warnings suggesting the separate pacakge, to produce
a smooth transition (and Recommend/Depend/Suggest on it as appropriate
based on analysis of what will break during the upgrade).

The Devel::DProf package is a Perl code profiler. This will collect

that script. This information can be used to determine which subroutines

Devel::DProf is deprecated. It is recommended that you install and use
Devel::NYTProf (in the package libdevel-nytprof-perl) instead, as it

 functions include generation of SIS (installation) packages, merging
 several SIS packages into one, (re-)signing existing SIS packages and
 modifying extension DLL headers. Support for other Symbian OS software

This was a mistake; this module does in fact come with a Free licence

With regards to the 'experimental' description, I will initially

 The Encode module provides the interfaces between Perl's strings and the

  Description : extensible trouble-ticket tracking system

 Request Tracker (RT) is a ticketing system which
 enables a group of people to intelligently and efficiently manage
 tasks, issues, and requests submitted by a community of users. It
 features web, email, and command-line interfaces (see the package
 rt4.0-clients).
 .
 This package provides the 4.0 series of RT. It can be installed alongside
 the 3.8 series without any problems. 
 .
 RT is a high-level, portable, platform independent system that eases
 collaboration within organizations and makes it easy for them to take care
 of their customers.
 .
 RT manages key tasks such as the identification, prioritization,
 assignment, resolution, and notification required by
 enterprise-critical applications, including project management, help
 desk, NOC ticketing, CRM, and software development.
 .
 This package provides the core of RT.
 .
 This package supports three database types out of the box: MySQL,
 PostgreSQL and SQLite. In order to support a zero-configuration install,
 SQLite will be used by default, but is not recommended for production
 use. Please see /usr/share/doc/request-tracker4.0/NOTES.Debian for more
 details and consider installing rt4.0-db-postgresql or rt4.0-db-mysql at
 the same time as this package.

This is a prerelease version of what will become RT4 and will initially
be uploaded to experimental.
