Bug#159950: ITP: pynfo -- factoid and bridging irc bot
Hi Moshe, I am in the process of searching for a decent Python-based IRC bot, and bumped into your ITP dated 7 Sept 2002. I checked the link you provided out, and saw that you have a package for Pynfo 0.4.6. I'm curious: did you get the Pynfo package to work out decently, at least for version 0.4.6? Would you still be interested in continuing work on Pynfo (the current version is 0.6.2), or should I just build on whatever work you have already done if I'm interested in checking Pynfo out (and perhaps maintaining the Debian package if nobody else will)? Thank you very much. -- Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : http://jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc. : software we refer to GnuPG Key ID : 0x93B746BE : freedom, not price.
Bug#195948: RFP: dspam -- advanced Bayesian anti-spam local delivery agent
Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-06-03 Severity: wishlist * Package name: dspam Version : 2.6.0.65 Upstream Author : Network Dweebs Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://www.networkdweebs.com/software/dspam/ * License : GPL Description : advanced Bayesian anti-spam local delivery agent DSPAM (as in De-Spam) is an open-source project to create a new kind of anti-spam mechanism, and is currently effective as both a server-side agent for UNIX email servers and a developer's library for mail clients, other anti-spam tools, and similar projects requiring drop-in spam filtering. The DSPAM agent masquerades as the email server's local delivery agent and filters/learns spams using an advanced Bayesian statistical approach (based on Baye's theorem of combined probabilities) which provides an administratively maintenance-free, easy-learning Anti-Spam service custom tailored to each individual user's behavior. Advanced because on top of standard Bayesian filtering is also incorporated the use of Chained Tokens, de-obfuscation, and other enhancements. DSPAM works great with Sendmail and Exim, and should work well with any other MTA that supports an external local delivery agent (postfix, qmail, etc.)
Bug#167743: Need Help with Efforts to Package PreScript 2.2
to contribute). Again, I'd tend not to worry about old Pythons. Replace the calls to the deprecated modules. Aside from the above migration questions I have one question that pertains to the PRESCRIPT_DIR environment variable and the significance of the prescript.ps and about_prescript.ps files. I had initially planned to treat both as documentation, thereby placing them in /usr/share/doc/prescript/. However I noticed that io.py seems to call prescript.ps in the line gspipe = os.popen(gs -q -dNODISPLAY -soutfile=%%stdout %sprescript.ps %s quit.ps % (__main__.prescript_dir, psFilename)) What does this do? A search through the sources shows that prescript_dir is only used in io.py in the above call and later in ARFFFormatter's start() method. However there is no arff-header file in the sources. Does this mean that prescript_dir is written to at some point during the program's lifecycle? Maybe instead of placing prescript.ps with the other documentation I should create a /usr/lib/prescript/ directory and place it there, also changing the prescript Python script a bit to hardcode this directory so that the later call (quoted above) in io.py works? I have a vague recollection that prescript.ps is (or was) used to prime gs in some way. You really need to do some experimenting to work out what it's doing though, before deciding where it should live. Thank you very much for your time. I hope that you can help me out with the last few steps I have to do to come up with a useable package for the Debian community. A am confident at least a number of the users of Debian should have good use for your handy application. Sorry I can't help you more. Good luck and regards, Stefan Boddie - End forwarded message - -- Federico Sevilla III : http://jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free Network Administrator : The Leather Collection, Inc. : software we refer to GnuPG Key ID : 0x93B746BE : freedom, not price.
