Bug#681390: O: gregorio -- command-line tool to typeset Gregorian chant

2012-07-12 Thread Jérôme Marant
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the gregorio package.

The package description is:
 Gregorio is a project with a lot of functionalities. The main interest is gabc,
 a very simple and fast language to describe a Gregorian chant score.
 The project is for now a command-line tool to convert gabc files into real
 score, like for example OpusTeX or GregorioTeX. But it also handles a XML
 format: GregorioXML.  You can use the tool to read or write gabc and
 GregorioXML, and to write OpusTeX and GregorioTeX.

Bug#154098: Should this be even kept in debian

2003-02-19 Thread Jérôme Marant

> Is there even a reason to keep this package in debian?  Gnat is now
> integrated with gcc and maintained in debian by the Debian GCC team.

Hi,

The GNAT in GCC is far from being as stable as the ACT releases.
It will even enter the beta state at ACT soon, so the GCC version
is not even up-to-date.

The best version is currently 3.15p, which is not yet in Debian
(I was thinking of preparing debs).

Furthermore, and not the least, the GCC Gnat needs the ACT Gnat
to be bootstrapped, so we're not likely to remove it.

  I'm grateful to the FSF too and I'm a great supporter of Free
  Software, don't get me wrong. But I'm trying to understand people
  sometimes and things are not that simple: this is not like mldonkey
  was closed-source. Furthermore, I'm following the OCaml world and
  I can tell that mldonkey authors are great Free Software contributors.

  And if you want Debian to get in well with upstream authors (which
  can be usefull when we encounter problems), you have to care about
  not making them much trouble, otherwise don't even think of them
  being helpfull!

> And of course it concerns to Debian wether we package mldonkey or not.

  I agree, that is why I said that we have to wait before packaging anything.

  Sorry, if you considered I've been offensive, I only expressed
  my opinions. Debian packaging is often a matter of relationship.

  As a Debian Developer, I do care for Debian resources. But anyway,
  this is a spurious justification. Do we care for SF resources although
  tons of free software are hosted there?

  I've never seen anyone from this thread discussing the current issue
  on the mldonkey-users list! How dare you tell me someone here tried to
  persuad them to change the situation? I was the only one to raise the
  issue, I was the only one to contact them personaly!

  Did you know that they are going to put the edonkey code elsewhere,
  and this has been discussed far before the current noise here?

  Ya got it one more time! One the Debian side, it doesn't change anything.
  Why? Because mldonkey will go to non-free anyway, because users want
  to access edonkey no mather mldonkey is in non-free.

  So, Debian doesn't get anything with this exclusion! Savannah will
  be removed this small piece of bytecode and that's it. It is
  ridiculous.

  It is one more package entering the archive. And when orphaned, noone
  will accept to take it over, so it'll give more work to the QA team,
  like those waiting for new maintainers in WNPP.

  Are you serious? Does Debian really need this kind of useless
  software? Moreover, there are some other video players that
  can use aalib plugins to display video in a console.

  We really don't need that.

Bug#115256: ITP: mpatrol -- A powerful library for debugging memory allocations

2001-10-11 Thread Jérôme Marant
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2001-10-11
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: mpatrol
  Version : 1.4.7
  Upstream Author : Graeme S. Roy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://www.cbmamiga.demon.co.uk/mpatrol
* License : LGP
  Description : A powerful library for debugging memory allocations

The mpatrol library is a powerful debugging tool that attempts to
 diagnose run-time errors that are caused by the wrong use of
 dynamically allocated memory.
 .
 Along with providing a comprehensive and configurable log of all
 dynamic memory operations that occurred during the lifetime of a
 program, the mpatrol library performs extensive checking to detect
 any misuse of dynamically allocated memory.
 .
 All logging and tracing output from the mpatrol library is sent
 to a separate log file in order to keep its diagnostics separate
 from any that the program being tested might generate.
 A wide variety of library settings can also be changed at
 run-time via an environment variable, thus removing the need to
 recompile or relink in order to change the library's behaviour.
 .
 All of this functionality can be integrated into existing code
 through the inclusion of a single header file at compile-time.

2001-09-30 Thread Jérôme Marant

Hi,

  You made an ITP about zorp 210 days ago and
  nothing was done. Do you still plan to package it?
  If not, the ITP should be retitled to RFP.

  Did you see that they already provide debian packages?
  If so, did you contact them about including/sponsoring
  their packages in debian rather than doing the whole
  package from scratch?

Bug#96740: O: giram -- 3D modeller for POV-Ray

2001-05-08 Thread Jérôme Marant
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2001-05-08
Severity: normal

  I've decided to orphan this package (giram, giram-gnome, giram-mesa,
  giram-gnome-mesa) for the following reasons:

  - the upstream author is not responsive (possibly because he's working at
MadrakeSoft)
  - it's development is very slow (8 months between 0.1.7 and 0.1.8)
  - the current version in Debian does not build any more. Neither does the
current upstream version. Moreover, I'm not experienced enough with
autotools. I contacted the author may times but did not get a reply.
  - it is poorly featured and removing it won't be a big loss for Debian.
  - I'm not using it any more.

  If someone thinks he/she can work out these problems and that giram is
  worth staying in Debian (despite all what I said), please adopt it right
  now.

  If noone intends to adopt it, I'll request for it's removal.

  Cheers,
