Bug#951597: RFA: approx -- caching proxy server for Debian archive files

2020-02-18 Thread Eric Cooper
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the approx package.
I no longer use approx myself (I just use a Squid proxy now) and I
haven't done much OCaml coding recently, so it's time to move on.

I haven't done an upload since the move from alioth to salsa, and it
seems I no longer have permission to do so, so an adopter should
probably set the "Maintainer" to the OCaml team and remove the "Uploaders"
field.

The package description is:
 Approx is an HTTP-based proxy server for Debian-style package archives.
 It fetches files from remote repositories on demand,
 and caches them for local use.
 .
 Approx saves time and network bandwidth if you need to install or
 upgrade .deb packages for a number of machines on a local network.
 Each package is downloaded from a remote site only once,
 regardless of how many local clients install it.
 The approx cache typically requires a few gigabytes of disk space.
 .
 Approx also simplifies the administration of client machines:
 repository locations need only be changed in approx's configuration file,
 not in every client's /etc/apt/sources.list file.
 .
 Approx can be used as a replacement for apt-proxy,
 with no need to modify clients' /etc/apt/sources.list files,
 or as an alternative to apt-cacher.

I request an adopter for the approx package.
(I am no longer active with OCaml and have been using squid instead
of approx.)

These sentences should refer to 2^w (2 to the power w) rather than 2
times w.

Please include more of the explanatory text from

I couldn't tell what this was useful for until I read that.

Thanks, I will take a look at this.

Bug#597228: ITP: minidlna -- server for DLNA/UPnP-AV clients

2010-09-17 Thread Eric Cooper
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Eric Cooper 

* Package name: minidlna
  Version : 1.0.18-1
  Upstream Author : Justin Maggard
* URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna
* License : GPL and BSD
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : server for DLNA/UPnP-AV clients

MiniDLNA (aka ReadyDLNA) is server software with the aim of being
fully compliant with DLNA/UPnP-AV clients.

The minidlna daemon serves media files (music, pictures, and video)
to clients on your network.  Example clients include applications
such as totem and xbmc, and devices such as portable media players,
smartphones, televisions, and Blu-Ray players.

MiniDLNA is a simple, lightweight alternative to mediatomb, but has
fewer features. It does not have a web interface for administration
and must be configured by editing a text file.

I don't think "standard" is the right adjective here.  Perhaps
"extended" or "full-featured"?

This is already packaged (as libgmyth0 and gmyth-utils) on Christian Marillat's

"secure" connotes "safe from exploits", but I think what is intended is
"extremely careful about obtaining an accurate copy of the audio data".

Bug#330125: status of toolchain-source?

2006-03-03 Thread Eric Cooper
Another Debian developer's efforts to build cross-gcc packages are here: 
http://www.speedblue.org/cross_compilation/
I started using these to cross-compile kernels when I could no longer
use toolchain-source for GCC 4.0.  Perhaps his packaging ideas would be
useful to you.
