See also bug #294389 (another ITP for enblend, but which seems to be

You may also want to contact Florent Bayle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, who is

Sounds good to me.

BTW, I'm going to send my manpage, and my patch for configure, to

(The patch for configure is needed because the ffmpeg libraries in sid

My patch uses ffmpeg-config to determine the compiler flags.)

Bug#279503: ITP: ffmpeg2theora -- Theora video encoder using ffmpeg

2005-06-15 Thread Hubert Chan

Hi Gergely and Kevin,

I'm just wondering if you are still interested in packaging 
ffmpeg2theora.  I notice there hasn't been any activity on the ITP bug 
since mid-April.


If you are not interested in packaging it, I would be interested.  I 
created packages for ffmpeg2theora myself (started from scratch 
because I couldn't fetch Roland's packages -- the connection was 
timing out).  I'm not a DD yet, but I don't think it should be hard to 
find a sponsor for that package.


If you are still interested in packaging ffmpeg2theora, I wrote a 
manpage for it that you can use for your own package.  (I also edited 
the configure script so that the program compiles using sid's ffmpeg.)


My package (with the manpage included) can be downloaded from:
http://www.uhoreg.ca/programming/debian/

Bug#234743: ITP: hashcash -- a postage payment scheme for email based on hash calculations

2004-02-26 Thread Hubert Chan
>>>>> "Peter" == Peter Palfrader <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:

- If a spammer wants to add a valid hashcash token to each message, he
  will be able to send a far smaller number of spams than without the
  token.  Spammers rely on being able to send out millions of messages
  cheaply.

- The hashcash system does make certain assumptions about spammers.  For
  example, that the spammers are using their own machines to send the
  spam.  I suppose it does not work as well against people who use
  zombied Windows machines to send spam, although it would probably
  still limit somewhat the number of messages they can send.  But I
  think it is still better than nothing.

- Ideally (although I don't know if any program actually does this), the
  hashcash token is generated while the user writes the message.  The
  token is generated within a small number of seconds, which is shorter
  than the time that it takes to write a meaningful message.  So other
  than the "forwarded-junk-message-to-all-my-friends" message, Alice
  shouldn't notice.  (Again, this is the ideal situation.  I don't know
  of any MUA that actually does this.  But this is independent of the
  actual hashcash program.)
