Bug#1026085: O: cdbs -- common build system for Debian packages
Quack, On 2022-12-14 23:00, Bastian Germann wrote: I am orphaning cdbs. @foka @js @duck Would you please move the cdbs repository to salsa's debian namespace? DH made so much progress that we all left :-). Jonas needed it for some packages and maintained it as long as he could. We did discuss the situation a few years back but no real plan/announcement followed unfortunately. I moved the repo to the Debian namespace. I also archived the cdbs-doc repo; the package is not build anymore anyway. The gnulib and licensecheck packages already have new git homes. I archives their repo. I suggest to create a lintian warning tag for cdbs-using packages so that they know that their build system is no longer developed. That's a good idea. I'll try to work on this. \_o< -- Marc Dequènes
Bug#1010248: ITP: wlgreet raw wayland greeter for greetd

There's several layers of dependencies that needed packaging and going through NEW took a while. Now I'm dealing with owned-ttf-parser and after some requested changes I hit some potential licensing issues and I'm checking this with the ftpmasters. After that rusttype can be built and need to go through NEW. Then I can finally upload wlgreet. Sorry it's taking so much time. \_o< -- Marc Dequènes
Bug#1010247: ITP: greetd -- minimal and flexible login manager daemon
Quack, Thanks a lot for your feedback. On 2022-07-16 14:56, Johannes Schauer Marin Rodrigues wrote: Issue 1: your choice of _greetd lets my postinst fail because my NAME_REGEX in /etc/adduser.conf is "^[a-z][-a-z0-9_]*\$" This naming scheme is becoming quite common in Debian now. Since you do not have problem with _apt or _chrony etc, I wondered if there was any adduser magic option and indeed apt is using --force-badname. I'll add the option but please not chrony, and probably other packages, do not necessarily use it and you'll probably have to make an exception (or fill bug reports). Issue 2: after installing it, I get a black screen printing "/bin/sh: 1: exec: agreety: not found" -- maybe this is because the user "greeter" doesn't have /usr/sbin/ in their PATH? I did not have time to test agreety and sway is in the path, but I checked and agreety does not work when run as non-root (not sure how useful that would be anyway) so I'm in favour of changing the default config to use the absolute path. Did you try this solution? Issue 3: /etc/greetd/config.toml says: I have not yet packaged wlgreet yet but that's coming; I added this config as example for the future. The config I'm using is: -- exec "wlgreet; swaymsg exit" bindsym Mod4+shift+e exec swaynag \ -t warning \ -m 'What do you want to do?' \ -b 'Poweroff' 'systemctl poweroff -i' \ -b 'Reboot' 'systemctl reboot -i' output * bg /etc/greetd/background fill include /etc/sway/config.d/* -- I guess I'll remove the background line, or maybe add another greetd-specific config directory for easy customization, I'm not sure yet. [some time later…] I pushed these changes, so hopefully that should help. I could not get any reply from the Debian Rust team unfortunately, so enquote cannot be uploaded yet. I need to package greetd_ipc in the team too and that should be enough for wlgreet I think. I'll keep you posted. Regards. \_o< -- Marc Dequènes

I'm really new at Rust but really interested in learning more. The team process seems complicated but the static compilations with features is not something easy to handle and I have no idea how I would do better. Contrary to older languages most libraries are not packaged and I think that would be easier to work with the help of the team.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Marc Dequènes (Duck) X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org Control: block -1 with 1010247 * Package name: wlgreet Version : 0.3 Upstream Author : Kenny Levinsen * URL : https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/wlgreet * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: Rust Description : raw wayland greeter for greetd Greeter to be run under sway or similar.

Bug#1010247: ITP: greetd -- minimal and flexible login manager daemon
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Marc Dequènes (Duck) X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org * Package name: greetd Version : 0.8.0 Upstream Author : Kenny Levinsen * URL : https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/greetd * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: Rust Description : minimal and flexible login manager daemon greetd makes no assumptions about what you want to launch. Use gtkgreet to launch sway if you want a fully graphical session, or use agreety to launch a shell if you want a drop-in replacement for agetty(8) and login(1). If you can run it from your shell in a TTY, greetd can start it. If it can be taught to speak a simple JSON-based IPC protocol, then it can be a greeter. Most login managers historically assumes X11. The most compatible one is probably GDM but unless you use GNOME you may wish to have a more lightweight solution. Lightdm worked well until recently despite not having Walyland support itself but it is now afflicted by this bug: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/6655 The last release dates 2018 and there is no recent coding activity. I think greetd's architecture properly decouples authentication and the login UI and makes for a good replacement for Wayland users. I was thinking about maintaining it into the Rust team but I have not joined yet. Regards. \_o< -- Marc Dequènes

Bug#511715: ITP: gallery3 -- web-based photo album written in PHP
Coin, Quoting you from Gallery's ML: Another thing that should be discussed is whether it's worth having a gallery3 package in the main Debian repository. The benefit of having a package in the Debian repository is the simplicity of installation via "apt-get install gallery3" Having a gallery3 package hosted outside of the main Debian repository (such as my people.debian.org repository) gets the same benefit, assuming one has configured their system to access that repository. While initially somewhat complicated, the setup is a one time cost. There are also ways to simplify the repository setup, such as a helper package. You're not the only DD having hit a license problem, and if every (if not all) DD had created a personal repository for each package causing problem, there would be no central repository at all. Do you intend to support sid, testing, stable, and security up to old-stable by yourself in the long run? Do you really think this situation is sustainable? Now that you have tell upstream that it is not necessary, do you think anyone of them will help you solve the licensing problem? You also forgot about the trust and security problem caused by adding any apt key like explained in your installation procedure[1]. What would happen if your GPG key is compromised? If you want to help Debian and your users you'll have to clean this up and make up a decision. If the source code of the SWF apps cannot be provided, then i think you could provide a package with such files removed and the corresponding features deactivated. If you also want to care about the lost features, and if these files are _really_ allowed to be distributed at all, then you may package them separately in a non-free package which would enhance the free one (and provide a helper script of some sort to activate the feature if needed). Please do not consider this mail an offensive one. I just think you made a mistake and i wanted to explain my point of view. I also think you should perfectly be able to improve the situation. Don't forget you may also ask your fellow developers for opinions and/or help on the MLs.

Bug#513305: ITP: unscd -- Micro Name Server Caching Daemon
Coin,
Not much has changed here...
I made a few improvements to the packaging (on top of the latest Don's
SVN; see attachment; now using 0.45 and the upstream Makefile). The
new package should replace nscd smoothly on upgrade now, but i guess
more extensive tests should be done.
I'm still interrested to comaint with Don and the glibc team.

Bug#513305: Status of unscd, and nscd in Debian
Coin, Quoting Don Armstrong : Sure, there's a preliminary package here: http://svn.donarmstrong.com/deb_pkgs/unscd/trunk/ Besides from a bug in the PREFIX (s/nscd/unscd/), to avoid having a nearly empty package, it is building well. It installs well and is working like a charm. Only the nscd init script had to be borrowed, without any change. The package could just Provides nscd. I didn't dig deep into the details, and didn't know it could use the same configuration file. Directives not handled are just ignored with a warning message (which could by in syslog btw), which is quite fine, but 'services' map is not supported, which is a regression. the main reason I haven't yet uploaded it is because I'm unhappy with the way that it replaces nscd but I'm using it in production right now.

In fact the CVS version is not working too, until you give your user rights to overwrite the files in /usr/share/games/balazar (and yes this is a bug and it was already reported upstream). I'd be pleased if you could have a look and test. The Balazar bug explained above makes it unsuitable for upload into Debian, i'm waiting for a solution from upstream author ; so please be patient. -- Marc Dequènes (Duck) pgpNlucmeIxz0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Bug#298730: packaging news
Coin, Here are our things: - Tofu needs Python 2.4 (it uses the 'set' builtin type) - thus the Balazar depends needs to be available for 2.4 (editobj, soya and pyopenal) - Balazar is using Cerealizer intead of Pickle for network serialisation... in CVS ! (and not in 0.2 as expected) - Balazar brothers is using Cerealizer and should not be a problem (yes i intend to package it too btw) For the python 2.4 part, i plan to update my packages soon while Jiba (the author) should release Balazar 0.2.1 at the end of the week with Cerealizer support. Once the whole Python 2.4 packages are working with 0.2, i should be able to do a first upload of Tofu. Cerealizer should follow if Balazar brothers makes no problem (to be able to test it before any upload). -- Marc Dequènes (Duck) pgp1npmh7LoJF.pgp Description: PGP signature

Bug#276057: mediawiki package
Coin, I made a 1.3.9 mediawiki package recently because i wanted a stable mediawiki package, only a dirty one was available on the net, and #217571 IPT was long without result. I am not interrested in taking over the maintainership and you look like motivated, so i'm happy someone take care of it. My package is working and quite clean, integrating math support, so you may look at it to improve yours. It is available here : http://debian.duckcorp.org/ Have a lot of FUN ! -- Marc DequÃnes (Duck) pgpQABPbCaTw3.pgp Description: PGP signature
