Hi Alexander,

I totally forgot to look if there's already an ITP filed when I did my
one #1002036.

How far are you with packaging? And do you want a Co-Maintainer? Though
I'm only a DM not DD.

I just did a first version of a Debian package avaible at:
https://salsa.debian.org/fzielcke/bees/

Feel free to use anything of it.

Regards,
Felix

  Description : Best-Effort Extent-Same, a btrfs deduplication agent.

 bees is a block-oriented userspace deduplication agent designed for
 large btrfs filesystems. It is an offline dedupe combined with an
 incremental data scan capability to minimize time data spends on disk
 from write to dedupe.

I'm happy to maintain it inside a team or with co-maintainer(s).
I'm only DM so if someone has interest in sponsoring this, feel free to
contact me.

First debianized version avaible at https://salsa.debian.org/fzielcke/bees

I guess it's a problem for ftp-masters that copyright and license is only
mentioned inside README.md, but not directly at the source files?
Then it can't yet be uploaded.

Hi Antoine,

as talked on IRC: I would be happy if you do the review (audit) of
pcmemtest.
Since you didn't reply back if you actually do this now: Would be good
to have a clear answer here on the ITP so others know I have you as a
sponsor.

I forgot that grub2 isn't using triggers.
Added now a postinst based on the one from memtest86+. Except that I
removed the lilo parts.

I opened now upstream a new issue about this:

https://github.com/martinwhitaker/pcmemtest/issues/13

But in the closed one he said, it takes a while to write a usb keyboard
driver for EFI.

I also made an issue for this:

I don't know the reasons why it's not enabled by default. So I woudn't
change that for the first upload to Debian on my own.

Hi Antoine and Stephan,

I just added now the GRUB 2 integration and a README.Debian.
You can now review it. And I think it would be better to first upload
this to experimental? So a bit more experienced Debian users can test
it first. 

Note that I mention in README.Debian one nasty bug/issue:

In EFI mode the keyboard only works if you have the CSM aka legacy boot
also enabled:

https://github.com/martinwhitaker/pcmemtest/issues/2

Upstream doestn't say anything there that this will change. Issue was
closed with the hint it's documented. And it will just run with default
settings.

Is for you my salsa repo enough or just I also upload to mentors?
Git repo is in git-buildpackage format:

https://salsa.debian.org/fzielcke/pcmemtest

TIA

Thanks for your interest :)

I pushed now my first work to my personal salsa profile:

https://salsa.debian.org/fzielcke/pcmemtest

The files are for now in /usr/lib/pcmemtest
There are 32bit and 64bit legacy BIOS + EFI files
Not sure if there's actually a different between the 2 legacy BIOS
versions.

I haven't yet tried it myself but will do soon.
The suggestion came from #btrfs IRC channel. So it can't be that bad.


And I'm not sure how I want to do the GRUB integration. Due to the
differences with 32bit and 64bit EFI.
Is there actually a way to find out with what EFI version the system
booted?

Regards
Felix

2009-07-24 Thread Felix Zielcke
Hi,

>There's any chance I can adopt azureus and vuze?

I suggest you ask Adnan (CC'ed) if he has still interest in it.
Maybe you can both adopt it and work on it.
If not then you can IMO go ahead and prepare a new package and upload it
to mentors.debian.net and find a sponsor.
Unfortunately I can't sponsor it, because I'm just a DM not a DD.

Any progrogess? As I said already earlier I'd prefer SVN.
I'm now a DM so only the first upload would be a problem but not the
further ones.
I'd really like to takeover the package, I already did so for
reiser4progs.

Hi,

there's a new upstream version [0] which I'd like to have in Debian.
Do you want to do an upload soon and take over the package now or is it
okay if I do it?
