 .
 Most of the code is copied from Go reflect package with slight
 modifications.
 .
 Differences from reflect.DeepEqual: • If compared value implements
 .Equal(valueOfSameType) bool method then it will be called instead of
 comparing values as is.• If called Equal method will panics then whole
 DeepEqual will panics too.  This means you can use this DeepEqual method
 to correctly compare types like time.Time or decimal.Decimal, without
 taking in account unimportant differences (like time zone or exponent).

  Description : A super simple logger for Go

 Go's standard logger is fairly limited. As result, kazilion alternatives
 loggers have been written.
 .
 All of these are wonderful. They can make your logs look colorful and
 pretty, buffer things in complicated ways, format data for ElasticSearch,
 and more.
 .
 Cool, but all I wanted is something super dumb, that just exposes
 log.Info(), log.Error() and a couple other standard levels.
 .
 I don't need a super flexible kitchen sink. Just something super basic
 and trivial to use. I just want it to handle different log levels, and
 be able to write simple logs to stderr, to a local file, to syslog and
 to the Windows event log.
 .
 So, here's one more logging library for Go. The dumbest of them
 all. Enjoy.

 mind that your program will start copies of itself several times, as

 only be used for a single message. Authenticating two different
 messages with the same key allows an attacker to forge authenticators
 for other messages with the same key.

Long Description: quagmire is intended to replace automake and
libtool. Unlike these tools it requires GNU make and is written solely
using GNU make features -- no preprocessing is required.

Mock is similar to pbuilder, but for rpm packages. It is used by the
Fedora project. I'm not using it anymore, hence I'm not interested in
maintaining this package anymore.

retitle 420557 O: cvsdelta -- Summarize differences in a CVS repository

Hi Aaron,

I just noticed your email as I was orphaning cvsdelta. By all means
you can take it on. I've just now converted its subversion repo into
git so that the next maintainer can preserve the package's
history. It's up at
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/cvsdelta.git;a=summary. It's
under the collab-maint project on alioth so it should be easy to get
access to. I'm not sure if it's a very interesting package, since
upstream seems dead and it's really very simple, but be my guest.

Bug#421536: RFA: libmail-srs-perl -- interface to Sender Rewriting Scheme

2007-04-29 Thread Eric Dorland
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the libmail-srs-perl package. I do not use srs
and I have lost interest in the package.

The package description is:
 The Sender Rewriting Scheme preserves .forward functionality in an
 SPF-compliant world.
 .
 SPF requires the SMTP client IP to match the envelope sender
 (return-path). When a message is forwarded through an intermediate
 server, that intermediate server may need to rewrite the return-path
 to remain SPF compliant. If the message bounces, that intermediate
 server needs to validate the bounce and forward the bounce to the
 original sender.

According to the author, some are made by David Gervais who gave
permission to distribute, and the rest were generated using charas.ex,
which I assume means that they are at least distributable, but I can't
immediately confirm this.

JRPG is a kanji learning game styled after the classic SNES RPG games
(like Final Fantasy 6, or Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past). The game
tries to help you learn how to read and understand kanji in context, and
in doing that it also helps you improve your Japanese vocabulary. You
can also use it to refresh your kana.

Orphaning these. Thought I would use them but never did. They have no

What would the advantage of using their stuff be? pinentry seems to
support qt and a curses interface as well.

Err, huh? If you look at http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten2/index.html,
which is the roadmap for GnuPG 1.9, you'll notice in the graphic that
OpenSC is slated to be used to interface with smart cards. So I'm not
sure where you're getting this "drop this openssl-based
stuff". Pinentry is out of the GnuPG 1.9 project, so we would be using
their stuff.

Well the pinentry program from the GnuPG folks seems to be their

Very sensible. If it's not too intrusive and everyone involved agrees,
I don't mind applying patches to the package, so feel free to feed me
some patches to review. I'm CCing Andreas (the main OpenSC upstream
developer), please keep him CCed on any replies.

I understand, I'd probably do the same thing if it's expedient. But in
the long term it's probably not desirable. And if you do package a
forked OpenSC, please have it play nice with my own packages :)

Bug#280094: RFA: wackamole

2004-11-07 Thread Eric Dorland
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for wackamole. I don't use this package anymore,
and some one else could do a better job maintaining it. Please consider
adopting the spread package as well, since wackamole depends on it.

The package description is:
 Wackamole is an application that helps with making a cluster highly
 available. It manages a bunch of virtual IPs, that should be
 available to the outside world at all times. Wackamole ensures that a
 single machine within a cluster is listening on each virtual IP
 address that Wackamole manages. If it discovers that particular
 machines within the cluster are not alive, it will almost immediately
 ensure that other machines acquire these public IPs. At no time will
 more than one machine listen on any virtual IP. Wackamole also works
 toward achieving a balanced distribution of number IPs on the machine
 within the cluster it manages.

Bug#280087: RFA: spread -- The Spread messaging daemon

2004-11-06 Thread Eric Dorland
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the spread package. I don't use this package at
all, someone with more interest would probably enjoy it more. Also
consider adopting wackamole, which uses spread. 

The package description is:
 Spread is a toolkit that provides a high performance messaging
 service that is resilient to faults across external or internal
 networks. Spread functions as a unified message bus for distributed
 applications, and provides highly tuned application-level multicast
 and group communication support. Spread services range from reliable
 message passing to fully ordered messages with delivery guarantees,
 even in case of computer failures and network partitions. Spread is
 designed to encapsulate the challenging aspects of asynchronous
 networks and enable the construction of scalable distributed
 applications, allowing application builders to focus on the
 differentiating components of their application.

Bug#257644: ITP: libspf2 -- Sender Policy Framework library, written in C

2004-07-04 Thread Eric Dorland
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: libspf2
  Version : 1.0.3
  Upstream Author : Wayne Schlitt  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://www.libspf2.org/
* License : GPL, BSD
  Description : Sender Policy Framework library, written in C

libspf2 implements the Sender Policy Framework, a part of the SPF/SRS
protocol pair. libspf2 is a library which allows email systems such as
Sendmail, Postfix, Exim, Zmailer and MS Exchange to check SPF records
and make sure that the email is authorized by the domain name that it is
coming from. This prevents email forgery, commonly used by spammers,
scammers and email viruses/worms.

libsrs2 is the next generation SRS library. SPF verifies that the
Sender address of a mail matches (according to some policy) the
client IP address which submits the mail. When a mail is forwarded,
the sender address must be rewritten to comply with SPF policy. The
Sender Rewriting Scheme, or SRS, provides a standard for this
rewriting which is not vulnerable to attacks by spammers.

2004-04-19 Thread Eric Dorland
Sorry, the text got cut off for some reason. The full description is:

 The Sender Rewriting Scheme preserves .forward functionality in an
 SPF-compliant world.
 .
 SPF requires the SMTP client IP to match the envelope sender
 (return-path). When a message is forwarded through an intermediate
 server, that intermediate server may need to rewrite the return-path
 to remain SPF compliant. If the message bounces, that intermediate
 server needs to validate the bounce and forward the bounce to the
 original sender.

Severity: normal

With my work on the firebird packages and the for general lack of
interest and I haven't used them in a while, I'd like someone to adopt
glade and glade-2. I'd like someone to adopt both of them, since that
just makes the most sense. glade-2 is pretty easy to maintain and
upstream is quite responsive about bugs.

Glade is a different matter. It's the version of glade for the gtk 1.2
and gnome 1.x. It's not really supported upstream, but it's still a
useful package to have in the distribution. So ideally someone with some
vested interest in the package and some C programming skills to take
care of the outstanding bugs would be ideal.

Yes I've played the game, but I haven't played Paradroid. I'll adjust
The description accordingly.

  Description : a clone of the classic game "Paradroid" on the Commodore 64

A game inpired by Andrew Braybrook's classic Paradroid on
the good old Commodore C64 and Blizzards' Classics Diablo I/II.

In this game, you control a robot, depicted by a small white ball with
a few numbers within an interstellar spaceship consisting of several
decks connected by elevators. 

The aim of the game is to destroy all enemy robots, depicted by small
black balls with a few numbers, by either shooting them or seizing
control over them by creating connections in a short subgame of
electric circuits.

Looking at this license at first glance it made me

hoping if there was a problem, some one would point it out, so thanks :)

I'm not so sure... it just seems like a standard sort of legal

Isn't this just saying if you infringe on the license that the
licensor can revoke your rights under it?

Bug#163270: phoenix prerelease packages

2002-11-13 Thread Eric Dorland
I've put up a prerelease package for phoenix. They are apt-gettable:

deb http://people.debian.org/~eric/debian/i386 ./

It is very preliminary package, but it should work. They still need a
lot of work (as does the phoenix build system itself). I make no
guarantees about these packages will be upgradeable, so be prepared to
manually remove old version, although I'll try not to break too
much. There are no source packages yet, because I haven't come up with
a good way to package the source, and I don't want to package
unnecessary components, since it's really rather large. I'm not sure
exactly what to do, but I'm hoping upstream will fix the for me.

Bug#139629: RFA: drscheme -- Scheme Programming Environment

2002-03-23 Thread Eric Dorland
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-03-23
Severity: normal

Hello all,

I'd like someone to take drscheme off my hands. When i adopted this
package I was TA for a course that used drscheme, so I had some interest
in seeing this package succeed, but as I'm no longer TAing that course,
my interest is less. Now that i've successfully gotten the package into
woody, I'd like to pass it on to someone with more interest.

It is a good piece of software, but looking at its bug list
(http://bugs.debian.org/src:drscheme) it has its share of problems. Most
of its bugs relate to portability issues. The main portability problem
is that they have their own modified tree of libgc in the source that is
really old and doesn't work on most platforms. The other less difficult
problem is that drscheme has its own platform detection scripts, which
need to be modified slightly to support a lot of the architectures
Debian supports.

I tried to address some of these problems on the drscheme mailing list,
but there didn't seem to be much interest in addressing these problems.
They said that upcoming v200 would address these issues, but so far the
alpha versions seem to be more of the same.

I realise i haven't really sold this package for the next maintainer :)
However, if you like drscheme and/or want a nice little package that
needs some work, this is it. I really do think this a good piece of
software that deserves to be in debian, and i hope some others out there
think likewise.

I request an adopter for the drscheme package.
The package description is:
 This is a Scheme Programming Environment, designed for use within
 an educational setting.  The faculty and staff at Rice University
 developed this package to be used in programming curricula, as a
 supplement to mathematics courses, or for general programming
 instruction in a liberal arts setting.
 .
 It includes its own IDE (which runs under X) and is similar in
 some respects to Emacs (most noticeably in its keybindings).
 .
 It has an integrated help system and can run one of four
 modes (beginning, intermediate, advanced, complete).  Each
 level exposes successively more features and options to the
 user.  The goal of this configuration is to protect novice users
 from the more arcane behavior of Scheme under certain cases.
