Bug#622960: RFA: freemind -- Java Program for creating and viewing Mindmaps

[Eric Lavarde]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the freemind package.

The package description is:
 Taking the Concept-Mapping approach to Human-Computer Interface design.
 A mind mapper, and at the same time an easy-to-operate hierarchical editor
 with strong emphasis on folding. These two are not really two different
 things, just two different descriptions of a single application. Often used
 for knowledge and content management.
 .
 FreeMind doesn't work with classpath based Java implementations. Use OpenJDK
 (or Sun's Java), and check freemind(1) for more information.

Additional notes:
1. reason is lack of time.
2. upstream is supportive for anybody willing to take over. Contact them
   through the SourceForge project.
3. package is also used in Ubuntu, lot of visibility, yeah!
4. The source code of the package is available under
   http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-java/trunk/freemind/#_trunk_freemind_
   and is under group maintenance from pkg-java-maintainers, see for a
   start http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/
5. I'd be of course happy to support anybody willing to take over the
   package, and explain the tricks of the package if required (not many,
   I think).
6. I'll probably orphan the package with the next major release (1.0?).

Bug#478323: I could package Knoplerfish's Framework only

[Eric Lavarde]

retitle 478323 ITP: knopflerfish-osgi -- Knopflerfish framework 
implementation of OSGi

thanks

As described below, I'll package the framework part, and place it under 
Java maintainer control, so that anybody willing to add the bundles 
could do it relatively easily.


Thanks, Eric

Feel free to close it as I no longer need the bundles.


BTW, I plan to rename the source packge to 'knoplerfish-osgi' and the binary
to 'libknoplerfish-osgi-framework-java' (and someone could then later add
'libknoplerfish-osgi-bundles-java').
OK for you?

Yes. Should I need them in the future I will create a new RFP/ITP.

Bug#478323: I could package Knoplerfish's Framework only

[Eric Lavarde]

Hello,

in order to package freeplane [1], I need only the framework part of the 
 complete set, and it's pretty easy to package as there is only one 
dependency on libasm3-java.


Question: should I close as well the RTP bug, or do you need also the 
bundles part? I'm asking because the bug is already so old, not sure 
anybody but me needs it anymore.


BTW, I plan to rename the source packge to 'knoplerfish-osgi' and the 
binary to 'libknoplerfish-osgi-framework-java' (and someone could then 
later add 'libknoplerfish-osgi-bundles-java').

OK for you?

Thanks, Eric

Bug#499929: ITP: simplyhtml -- Java word processor based on HTML and CSS

[Eric Lavarde]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

  Version : 0.12.3
  Upstream Author : Dimitry Polivaev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://simplyhtml.sf.net/
* License : GPLv2+ plus some Sun licensing (Berkeley alike)
  Programming Lang: Java
  Description : Java word processor based on HTML and CSS

 SimplyHTML is an application built for working with text documents.
 Text documents are stored in HTML and CSS format, but the application is
 meant as a word processor rather than a code editor or web site builder.
 .
 SimplyHTML can be used standalone as well like a library/plugin.

(and it's used as a plugin by FreeMind 0.9.0, hence my interest)

Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.
The package is already available under [1] and I'm only waiting for my 
sponsor to upload it :-P
(I'm not putting too much pressure on him because he's a nice guy and 
the important package, freemind, is still in beta stadium)

Bug#337220: Don't need libxindice-java anymore

[Eric Lavarde - Debian Bugs]

Hi,

just wanted to let you know that it appears that I don't need this package
after all. As I don't seem to be the only one interested in this bug, I
don't close it, but it could be done for what I'm concerned.

Bug#354374: RFP: libjibx-java -- a framework for binding XML data to Java objects

[Eric Lavarde]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


* Package name: libjibx-java
  Version : 1.0
  Upstream Author : Dennis Sosnoski 
* URL : http://jibx.sf.net/
* License : BSD
  Description : a framework for binding XML data to Java objects

JiBX is a framework for binding XML data to Java objects. It lets you
work with data from XML documents using your own class structures. The
JiBX framework handles all the details of converting your data to and
from XML based on your instructions. JiBX is designed to perform the
translation between internal data structures and XML with very high
efficiency, but still allows you a high degree of control over the
translation process.

How does it manage this? JiBX uses binding definition documents to
define the rules for how your Java objects are converted to or from XML
(the binding). At some point after you've compiled your source code into
class files you execute the first part of the JiBX framework, the
binding compiler. This compiler enhances binary class files produced by
the Java compiler, adding code to handle converting instances of the
classes to or from XML. After running the binding compiler you can
continue the normal steps you take in assembling your application (such
as building jar files, etc.). You can also skip the binding compiler as
a separate step and instead bind classes directly at runtime, though
this approach has some drawbacks.

The second part of the JiBX framework is the binding runtime. The
enhanced class files generated by the binding compiler use this runtime
component both for actually building objects from an XML input document
(called unmarshalling, in data binding terms) and for generating an XML
output document from objects (called marshalling). The runtime uses a
parser implementing the XMLPull API for handling input documents, but is
otherwise self-contained.

(And basically I need it because it'll be a dependency of the next
FreeMind version)

Thanks, Eric

Bug#296117: Higher version of jaxme required for FreeMind

[Eric Lavarde - Debian Bugs]

Hi,

in the meantime, jaxme comes in version 0.5.
Tests have shown that it doesn't provide yet all features required by
FreeMind (see http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAXME-61).
Hence a potential packager should either go for version 0.6 (no due date
said the developers) or write a patch covering this specific feature.

Thanks, Eric

Bug#337220: RFP: libxindice-java -- native XML database in Java

  Description : native XML database in Java

My main interest is in the XML:DB part, which is a prerequisite for the
RFP #296117 libjaxme-java -- open source implementation of JAXB, the
specification for Java/XML binding. I would suggest to have a separate
binary package for this one.

Bug#296118: acknowledged by developer (Package exists in the archive)

[Eric Lavarde - Debian]

Hi,

it's fine with me, just one remark: I actually thought I'd close the bug
and if you look at the changelog, you'll see that I close it in version
1.2.2-1.
Due to different back and forth with my sponsor, only version 1.2.2-6 was
finally uploaded as initial release.

Wouldn't it make sense to extend the search for "Close" specifications to
all the changes since last upload of the package? Or what would have been
the correct way for me to handle this case? (I don't remember having seen
anything about this case in the documentation)

Or is it just an (unwritten?) rule that all closes must be in the last
changes section when uploading?

Thanks and sorry for the trouble,
Eric

Bug#320044: ITP: libforms-java -- framework helping you lay out and implement elegant Swing panels quickly and consistently

[Eric Lavarde]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Eric Lavarde <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>


* Package name: libforms-java
  Version : 1.0.5
  Upstream Author : Karsten Lentzsch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : https://forms.dev.java.net/
* License : BSD
  Description : framework helping you lay out and implement elegant Swing 
panels quickly and consistently

 The FormLayout has been designed to be powerful, flexible, precise and
 easy to learn and understand. It can significantly reduce the time to
 describe a form and to fill it with components. The layout manager
 introduces a unique layout feature: it honors the screen resolution and
 dialog font size to retain the layout proportions in different
 environments.
 .
 Also, we have seperated the layout task from the panel construction.
 Therefore we provide a set of non-visual builders that assist you in
 defining common panel layouts and in filling a form with components.
 The JGoodies Forms ships with general purpose builders and builders for
 specialized layout tasks. For example, the DefaultFormBuilder helps you
 build forms with one, two, three, or four columns. The ButtonBarBuilder
 specializes in building button bars.
 .
 On top of these non-visual builders the JGoodies Forms provides
 factories that create the most frequently used layouts, panels, bars
 and stacks. We recommend to use the factory methods whenever possible;
 future releases may map a logical panel creation to a concrete creation
 method that honors the platform and look&feel, for example the Mac vs.
 Windows button bar layout, where Mac has the default button in the
 right hand side and Windows in the left. 
 .
 Alternative URL: http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/forms/

(and the main interest for me is that it's a dependency for FreeMind
0.8.0)
The good news is that the library compiles with free java tools (already
succeeded with free-java-sdk).

Cheers, Eric

It's a mixture of the apache license and the MIT license. The most of
the code is under the MIT license (see license.txt in the bundle), and a
small portion of it is under the apache license (see
Apache-LICENSE-1.1.txt)

I hope this won't make your life too hard. There are too many licenses
in the world!

So true ;-)

Thanks in advance,

Bug#296118: RFP: libjcalendar-java -- Java date chooser bean for graphically picking a date

[Eric Lavarde]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


* Package name: libjcalendar-java
  Version : 1.2.2
  Upstream Author : Kai Toedter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://www.toedter.com/en/jcalendar/
* License : LGPL
  Description : Java date chooser bean for graphically picking a date

 JCalendar is composed of several other Java beans, a JDayChooser, a
 JMonthChooser and a JYearChooser. All these beans have a locale
 property, provide several icons (Color 16x16, Color 32x32, Mono 16x16
 and Mono 32x32) and their own locale property editor. So they can easily
 be used in GUI builders.

(I need this package to be able to package freemind version 0.8.0).

Thanks, Eric

Bug#296117: RFP: libjaxme-java -- open source implementation of JAXB, the specification for Java/XML binding

[Eric Lavarde]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


* Package name: libjaxme-java
  Version : 0.3.1
  Upstream Author : Apache team!?
* URL : http://ws.apache.org/jaxme/
* License : Apache Software License, Version 2.0
  Description : open source implementation of JAXB, the specification for 
Java/XML binding

>From the home page:
..
 A Java/XML binding compiler takes as input a schema description (in most
 cases an XML schema but it may be a DTD, a RelaxNG schema, a Java class
 inspected via reflection or a database schema). The output is a set of
 Java classes:
..
* A Java bean class compatible with the schema description. (If the
* schema was obtained via Java reflection, then the original Java
* bean class.)
* An unmarshaller that converts a conforming XML document into the
* equivalent Java bean.
* Vice versa, a marshaller that converts the Java bean back into the
* original XML document.
..
 In the case of JaxMe, the generated classes may also
..
* Store the Java bean into a database. Preferrably an XML database
* like eXist, Xindice, or Tamino, but it may also be a relational
* database like MySQL. (If the schema is sufficiently simple. :-)
* Query the database for bean instances.
* Implement an EJB entity or session bean with the same abilities.

(to be very honest with you, it's a bit chinese to me, I only know that
I need the library to be able to package freemind 0.8.0)

Bug#289307: pwc-source headed for unstable this weekend

[Eric Lavarde]

Hi,
I confirm that the pwc driver works well.
Only at boot time, I have the following messages:
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
pwc: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
pwc: Unknown symbol video_devdata
pwc: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
pwc: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
pwc: Unknown symbol video_register_device
pwc: Unknown symbol video_usercopy

pwc: Unknown symbol video_devdata
pwc: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
pwc: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
pwc: Unknown symbol video_register_device
pwc: Unknown symbol video_usercopy
pwc: Unknown symbol video_device_release
pwc Philips webcam module version 10.0.6-unofficial loaded.
pwc Supports Philips PCA645/646, PCVC675/680/690, 
PCVC720[40]/730/740/750 & PCVC830/840.
pwc Also supports the Askey VC010, various Logitech Quickcams, Samsung 
MPC-C10 and MPC-C30,
pwc the Creative WebCam 5 & Pro Ex, SOTEC Afina Eye and Visionite 
VCS-UC300 andVCS-UM100.
pwc Trace options: 0x00a1

but without any practical consequence, gnomemeeting works like a charm
(Debian Kernel image 2.6.10-1-k7).
So I welcome pwc!

i've been using this new pwc driver for a while now and have not had
any problems with it, tested on i386 and amd64 boxen.  

so, after looking over the latest version, assuming there are no
new issues i'll plan on uploading the pwc-source package to unstable.
i don't think this really warrants a cool off period in experimental,
but if someone has a reasonable objection then i will put it there instead.
i'll probably do this on saturday.
quoth teemu:
Since this package claims to be GPL (although there might be issues with the
reverse engineering which this code is based on) is there any reason not to
integrate this code into the kernel-source package and have the pwc.ko
module compiled automatically to kernel-packages?
The kernel-package-2.6.10-1-686 package already contains several usb-webcam
drivers in the /drivers/usb/media/ directory which are approximately the
same size as pwc.ko.

i suppose it could be added to the debianized kernel source package,
but since the original author asked to have it yanked from the mainline
kernel and it is now itself forked and maintained outside of the kernel,
i think this approach makes the most sense.  at least for the time being.

Bug#280324: ITP: freemind -- A Java Program for creating and viewing Mindmaps

[Eric Lavarde]

Hi,

hope this is OK to reply-to-all in such cases...

Have you tried to compile/run freemind with any of the available
DFSG-free JREs so far?
Not personally, but some users have unintentionally and unsuccessfully 
tried to start FreeMind with kaffe and gcj. Would I get a different 
result if I would try to _compile_ first FreeMind with whatever free JDK?




I'm not yet a Debian developer, going through the documentation and
the process of becoming one.



Recently I spent a few hours on creating a freemind package myself,
since I hadn't seen the links to your package so far. If you want,
I'll be happy to sponsor your package.
It would be a pleasure, I just need to find a key signer nearby. Anybody 
living around Böblingen (or Stuttgart)?
So, what would be the next steps? Remember: I'm still going through the 
documentation (and I didn't think it would be so quick to get a sponsor 
:-) ).


Thanks, Eric



Cheers,
-Hilko
