Package name: python-suds
Version : 0.3.6
Upstream Author : Jeff Ortel 
URL : https://fedorahosted.org/suds/
License : LGPL
Programming Lang: Python
Description : lightweight SOAP client for Python
 Suds is a Python SOAP web services client library. It leverages Python
 meta programming to provide an intuative API for consuming web services.
 Objectification of types defined in the WSDL is provided without class
 generation. Programmers rarely need to read the WSDL since services and
 WSDL based objects can be easily inspected. Supports pluggable soap
 bindings.

This description is taken from the Fedora RPM and needs some work
(suggestions welcome).

Bug#483627: RFA: xsupplicant -- 802.1x and 802.11i supplicant (client)

2008-05-29 Thread Eric Evans
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

It's time for xsupplicant to get a new maintainer or be removed from
the archive entirely.

At one time there were a few obscure EAP methods which xsupplicant
supported that wpasupplicant did not. There were also a handful of
workarounds for buggy authenticator implementations that resulted in
xsupplicant working in cases where wpasupplicant did not. To the best
of my knowledge, this is no longer the case.

Additionally, while upstream is still active, they've shifted their 
efforts away from the 1.2 branch in favor of a complete rewrite which
is focused primarily on Windows.

If there are no takers, I will ask for its removal sometime in the next
couple of weeks.

Hi Nicolai,

I came across your ITP for libpam-abl while investigating an RFP for the
same, (#356733). 

It's been a while since your original report, are you still interested 
in packaging libpam-abl? Let me know if you are, (I'd be willing to
sponsor).

Since you haven't replied I'm going to assume that you are no longer
interested or do not have the time. I think libpam-abl would make a 
useful addition to the archive so I am going to move forward with 
packaging it.

Bug#483627: RM: xsupplicant -- better alternative exists/no upstream support

2008-08-14 Thread Eric Evans

retitle 483627 RM: xsupplicant -- better alternative exists/no upstream support
reassign 483627 ftp.debian.org
thanks

At one time there were a number of obscure EAP methods in use that were
only supported by xsupplicant, and instances of buggy authenticators
for which xsupplicant was capable of working around. These days there
are no circumstances that I am aware of where wpasupplicant is not the
better choice.

Upstream for xsupplicant has undergone a complete rewrite with a strong
focus on Windows (the 2.x versions of xsupplicant will not even compile
on Linux). The older 1.x versions are effectively unmaintained (the last
release was on 2006-10-08).

Popcon suggests that usage is quite low with only 281 installations and
46 votes.

I believe it would be in the best interest of our users if xsupplicant
were removed from the archive entirely.

Bug#524135: Progress of Packaging

2010-03-26 Thread Eric Evans
[ Patrick Datko ]
> Package: #524135
> Severity: normal
> 
> I wanted to know, how is the progress of packaging
> this project, because I need this to package HBase.

I've been meaning to update this report for some time, and I knew when I
saw the ITP for HBase that today was the day. :)

The truth is that I have not made any headway on this in quite sometime,
and it's not for lack of time or motivation, (I'm also in need of this for
a project). The reason I've held off is that (a) under ideal
circumstances packaging/maintaining Thrift would be non-trivial, and (b)
circumstances are far from ideal.

I blogged[1] last year about the challenges of packaging Thrift, but the
executive summary is that it covers a lot of different languages and
frameworks. I had made it as far as 10 binary packages[2] and was still
missing some popular ones (PHP for example). I'd hoped that some 
co-maintainers would step forward to help, but none did.

[1]: http://blog.sym-link.com/2009/05/01/thrift_packaging.html
[2]: http://git.debian.org/?p=users/eevans/thrift.git;a=summary

Additionally, I've also become increasingly concerned about the state of
the Thrift project.

Thrift was open sourced 3 years ago and has been in the Apache Incubator
for almost 2 years. During that time they've only managed to make one
release, (which incidentally is unsuitable for my project[3]; we're forced
to use a newer snapshot). Bugs are often disregarded or dismissed out of
hand and patches languish for months (or longer). As of right now, there
are 180 open bug reports[4], and some of those are quite serious[5].
 
[3]: http://cassandra.apache.org
[4]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT
[5]: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-601 (for example)

So part of my reticence has been about taking on a package like this by
myself, and part of it is that I'm not at all convinced that you can
expect even nominal assistance from upstream.

Having said that, if there were enough extra hands/eyeballs, I might be
willing to pick this back up, but I'd also be fine with someone more
enthusiastic taking it over entirely.

I wouldn't do this, no. If anything, I think you'd want to try and find the
sweetest spot, and then backport fixes and patch as needed. Actually, I'm
hoping that it'll be possible to get some mileage out of the forthcoming
0.3.0 release.

Bug#524135: update after thrift 0.3.0 release

[ Thomas Koch ]
> could you be so kind and give a short update on your evalutation about
> thrift? Do you think thrift should be packaged for Debian? Has the

Little (nothing?) has changed with respect to my original assessment of
Thrift.  I have however resigned myself to packaging a carefully chosen
subset of libraries that is the intersection of (a) those most important
to me, (b) those reasonably maintained upstream, and (c) those I feel
most comfortable supporting in a Debian stable if worst-case, I receive
no help (from upstream or otherwise).

Right now that means:

* thrift-compiler
* python-thrift
* libthrift-java
* libthrift-perl (probably)
* libthrift-ruby (probably)

Popular libraries that I feel pretty strongly against packaging, (at
least not without a solid commitment from a co-maintainer):

* php
* c#
* c++

I've also moved this work to collab-maint:

There are so many reasons this is not a good idea; I'm not really sure
where to begin.

For starters, I don't have access to Thrift's subversion repository and
patch submission would seriously inhibit my worflow.  Likewise other
Debian Developers don't have access to Thrift's repo, while they do have
access to the collab-maint repo on git.debian.org.  It's one thing to
impede my work, but impeding the work of others in the Debian community
means I will likely not get their help.

Even if access weren't a problem, colocating the packaging source in the 
same VCS is still not an option because Debian package releases do not,
and should not occur in lockstep with Thrift releases.

Secondly, this bug report is for including Thrift in Debian.  It's best
to think of this as more of an aggregate work created from the upstream
Apache project.  Debian users are going to submit bugs to the Debian BTS
not JIRA, some of these will no doubt pertain to Thrift itself, but many
of them will pertain to the packaging and integration in Debian, and
have nothing to do with Thrift.

Hey Miguel,

I submitted an ITP[1] for this as `libclhm-java' a while back.  The
packaging should be complete, but I was planning to get a review on

Bug#132919: xsupplicant package

Hi Chris,

I too have been creating packages of xsupplicant development releases,

Bug#390204: RFP: tesseract-ocr -- console-based optical character recognition, (OCR)

2006-09-29 Thread Eric Evans
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


* Package name: tesseract-ocr
  Version : 1.0.1
  Upstream Author : Ray Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/tesseract-ocr/
* License : Apache License, Version 2.0
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : console-based optical character recognition, (OCR)

A commercial quality OCR engine originally developed at HP between 1985
and 1995. In 1995, this engine was among the top 3 evaluated by UNLV. It
was open-sourced by HP and UNLV in 2005.

(Long description taken from the sourceforge project page, something
better will need to be written)

Whoever packages tesseract needs to be prepared to address a couple of
serious problems:

 * The third-party source found in aspirin/ is non-free, it will either
   need to be stripped out, or the author convinced to relicense it.
 * The tesseract binary requires that it reside in the same directory as
   the tessdata directory, which must be writable.

Nonetheless, the accuracy of tesseract is better than any of the other
free alternatives I've tried; I think it would make a nice addition to 
the archive.

Great, the more the merrier!

The most up-to-date work is what is checked into the upstream repository
(I had planned to fork from there when the time came).

Right, packaging the dependencies is the first order of business, (and I
don't have a current list, but this looks woefully short).

A good place to start would be to suss out the full list of dependencies
(including versions), check them against what is already packaged for
Debian, and then start packaging the rest (and if you could copy this
report with links to the RFP/ITPs, that'd be great).

Thanks!

This is now a blocker on a recent upstream release of
golang-github-gocql-gocql as well.  I understand the argument about
excluding test data, but there is probably a point at which users would be
better served by a golang-github-pierrec-lz4.v4 without (complete) test
coverage, than they would be without syncthing, or a modern gocql driver.

Perhaps we move forward with a repackaged upstream tarball while waiting
for upstream to fix these issues?
