This is the python3 port of OfflineIMAP.

As discussed in https://github.com/OfflineIMAP/offlineimap3/issues/10
upstream is asking to treat offlineimap and offlineimap3 separately and
it can be packaged after upstream has done its first official release.


What's the point of packaging this under a new name, if the old version is going 
to be removed? If they aren't meant to be coinstalled, and specially if the 
application interface is compatible with the old version, then there's little 
benefit in renaming it. The language (version) is just an implementation detail 
in this case.

This seems to embed tzdata, which is bad as it will mean more work on supported
releases as it's one more package to update whenever there are timezone changes.
It would be nice if tzdata provided a tzdata-source package that this one could
build-depend on, and with new tzdata releases we'd just need to rebuild this 
one.

Btw the upstream version and your package are still using tzdata 2018i which is
outdated. If this gets in the archive you should commit to get it timely
updated, not only in sid but also in (old)stable. See how
libdatetime-timezone-perl gets updated whenever there's a tzdata release:

I have approved your request to join pkg-freedesktop. I was going to adopt this
package into the team but you were faster, so you're very welcome to join the
team and maintain the package there :)

Let me know if you have questions or need sponsorship. Also feel free to ask me
on irc (pochu on #debian-gnome, there's no better channel atm so that should do
for now).

That blog post made me think this was a coordinated effort between various DEs
to create some apps that they all would use. Which would mean we wouldn't need a
gnome-$foo fork Cinnamon, another one for Mate, etc...

But it seems I was too naïve and that is not the case, and we're just going to
end up with one more fork as I initially feared.

I so hope I am wrong on this...

I found http://segfault.linuxmint.com/2016/02/the-first-two-x-apps-are-ready/,
which makes things clearer. This seems to be a cross-desktop (Mate, Cinnamon...
XFCE?) project to provide some core apps. Which we wouldn't end up with multiple
forks of the same stuff, and that addresses my concerns.

Maybe the XFCE / Cinnamon / Mate maintainers can confirm if that is indeed the 
plan.

This is part of GNOME release since 3.10. I think this can be nice
addition to the empty GNOME screen after the installation. gdm should
launch this application in the first boot situation.


This wouldn't be very useful since all/most of the setup is done by d-i. Some 
integration would be needed, so that the installer defers the setup so that 
gnome-initial-setup can do it. I believe Laurent has investigated this.

Ah, so these modules are built-in now? Not the standalone tools like the ones
in gnome-system-tools package?


They are all opened through gnome-control-center, yes. You can open a panel 
directly with e.g. `gnome-control-center network' (and there are shortcuts for 
this, e.g. if you type 'network' in the shell search), but the control center UI 
let's you go back to the overview and click on a different panel.


I don't think that's relevant to this RFA anyway so I'll stop commenting here...

Bug#584529: RFA: scribes -- simple, slim and sleek, yet powerful text editor for GNOME

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hi,

I don't really use scribes anymore, so I'd like to pass maintenance over to
somebody who uses it and can maintain it better than me.

The package is currently maintained in the Python Applications Packaging Team
(python-apps), but whoever takes it can move it elsewhere if he wants to.

The package description is:
 Scribes focuses on streamlining your workflow. It does so by ensuring
 that common and repetitive operations are intelligently automated and also
 by eliminating factors that prevent you from focusing on your tasks.
 .
 The result is a text editor that provides a fluid user experience,
 that is easy and fun to use and that ensures the safety of your
 documents at all times.

Cheers,
Emilio

Bug#509063: Upstream bug about WPAD security issues

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]

Andreas Rottmann wrote:
 As I discovered that libsoup SVN trunk has libproxy as an optional build
 dependency, I stumbled upon this ITP, and found out that upstream has
 been made aware of this issue:
 
 http://code.google.com/p/libproxy/issues/detail?id=21
 
 Based on that bug, I assume that a future release release will offer
 Debian these options:
 
 1) Don't ship the offending plugin at all in a/the binary package, or
 2) disable the use of the plugin via the default config file
 
 I think admins should be free (and in general are, FWIW ;-)) to shoot
 themselves and the users of the boxes they administer in the proverbial
 foot, so I'd suggest going with (2).
 
 However, I agree that until this feature can be reliably and
 mandatorily disabled by the admin (and is disabled by a stock Debian
 install), this package should not enter Debian.

The package is already in NEW with WPAD fallback disabled, see

 I'm not sure the problem I found was the same you were being hit by, but
 I am attaching a patch to fix the way andvare calls valgrind. It seems
 that valgrind in Debian doesn't have a --log-file-exactly option, but
 rather a --log-file one.

I see. It is also in upstream trunk. Maybe that was my issue, will try to test
again.

 I filed a request to join the project. Thanks for the pointer!

Great! I see you have already been approved, so feel free to add your patch and

 Hello Stefano
 
 I've updated spe's packaging files in the PAPT repository a bit, and was
 wondering what's the status of your ITA bug. If you don't plan to own the
 package in Debian, we could maintain it in the team, although if you want to
 maintain it yourself (with or without the team's help) that's alright too. 
 Let
 me know what do you think and I'll act accordingly.
 
 How can I download your modifications?

They are in the repository. You can do
svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/python-apps/packages/spe/

to get it, and 'svn up' to update when there are new revisions.

 I don't want to own the package
 spe is just a product I use, the team can own the package.

That's nice. I've updated the Maintainer so it's the Python Applications
Packaging Team. It was Debian QA before, since the package was orphaned.

 I started the
 NM process and just want to understand how to do packages to help
 debian. I just need one more package as I'm on hold in the process.

There is some good documentation out there, such as the new maintainer's guide,
the debian policy or the developers reference. I suggest you to take a look at
them if you haven't already done it.
