Package: sponsorship-requests Followup-For: Bug #1026277 X-Debbugs-Cc: package-sponsorship-reque...@lists.debian.org Hi folks, I'm looking for sponsors for my package 'quadrilateralcowboy' - the source package is available on Salsa[1] and for inspection on mentors.debian.net[2]. The package is a first-person game that involves elements of programming, and the game data for it is available using Debian's game-data-packager system. (there was an RFS[3] open for this, but it's been archived and I can't seem to unarchive that. I thought reporting against the ITP might be preferable to a duplicate RFS) Thank you, James [1] - https://salsa.debian.org/jayaddison/quadrilateralcowboy/ [2] - https://mentors.debian.net/package/quadrilateralcowboy/ [3] - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1029409

Package: wnpp Followup-For: Bug #1026277 X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel-ga...@lists.debian.org Hi folks, I've been fairly inactive re: Debian contributions since bookworm was released, but would like to get involved again. Would anyone be willing to sponsor my package 'quadrilateralcowboy'? I'd spent a bit of time earlier this year packaging it for Debian, a process that resulted in creation of a fork[1] and a corresponding Salsa repo[2]. The game data is available using game-data-packager, and I've playtested the amd64 build. Theoretically arm64 is available too, but I haven't playedtested that.

Bug#1037070: RFP: libx1000 -- provides a dynamically-linked workaround for the LOCK prefix bug on Intel X1000 devices
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: libx1000 Version : 0.0.0 Upstream Contact: Ray Kinsella * URL : http://ashroe.eu/x1000/2016/10/21/fixing-lock-prefix-on-x1000.html * License : LGPLv2.1 Programming Lang: C Description : provides a dynamically-linked workaround for the LOCK prefix bug on Intel X1000 devices The Intel X1000 system-on-chip is a 32-bit x86-based system that has a bug related to use of a LOCK instruction that makes Debian somewhat unusable; see bugreport #738575 for some prior discussion. On distributions that can compile and distribute binaries to target specific processors, binutils can be configured to omit the LOCK prefix, preventing the bug from occurring. That isn't possible for Debian, because Debian supports a multitude of x86 systems, including multiprocessor systems where the LOCK instruction is required to provide correct shared-memory locking behaviour. The libx1000 library provides a packaged, runtime software workaround using LD preloading. For more information, see the author's blog post at: http://ashroe.eu/x1000/2016/10/21/fixing-lock-prefix-on-x1000.html

In retrospect, I think this is probably an argument for exploring and learning better signing practices rather than a packaging problem. (also, to nitpick / clarify: when referring to authorship there, that was only in reference to the packaging and edits made from the existing published open source game engine code)
Bug#1030835: [debian] ITP: ruff -- linter for Python, written in Rust
Followup-For: Bug #1030835 X-Debbugs-Cc: charlie.r.ma...@gmail.com Hi Charlie, I'd like for 'ruff' to be packaged in Debian at some point, and am beginning that process, although it could take some time (I'm not all that familiar with Rust yet, and from what I've learned about the Debian rust utilities, automated packaging is available for cargo-installable codebases, but is a more manual process otherwise. I've found and will follow the issuetracker item[1]). Would you be OK with being listed as the upstream contact for a Debian 'ruff' package, if-and-when it becomes available? (as context: generally the Debian package maintainer will handle and filter bugreports from Debian users without any need for your involvement (although you could subscribe to activity if interested). In some cases they could then contact you with details about problems found and/or fixes discovered. When that process is working effectively, it should be mutually beneficial.

Bug#1026277: ITP: quadrilateralcowboy -- first-person cyberpunk adventure game
Followup-For: Bug #1026277 There are a bunch of mistakes that I've made along the way while attempting to package this game. Some that I'd note are: * I could've made more of an effort and waiting longer for upstream contact before listing an upstream email address (sorry for any resulting spam received at the Blendo Games domain!). * Related, I could've made clear that I was the upstream source code provider instead of leaning on an ambiguous Salsa-as-both-origin-and-package-VCS for a while. * The number of package uploads to mentors.debian.net was large and noisy; I was iterating fairly quickly on improvements and adjustments, and had not yet discovered all the linting utilities available and how to run them locally. * Version history is somewhat unclear - there is a mix of what I would call the 'upstream' version numbers (timestamps in the format MMDD) - these are what I have used to tag upstream versions of the code (where no packaging information exists) and 'package' version numbers (these include single-digit prefixes, plus a package-version suffix). This is most relevant in the case of the 20160725 release, which I think could be the point at where my upstream version begins to more-clearly diverge from the original Blendo Games codebase (by the addition of a second architecture). As part of the packaging process, upstream version 20160725 became version 0~20160725-1 of the package, and I'd consider the changes between there and 1~20160725-1 to be Debian-related: they weren't particularly relevant to my identity as upstream developer, but they did help the package become more applicable to Debian's architectures (not all, unfortunately, but I think that adding support for a second runtime architecture can be a big step for compiled software). That change, and the change to add a manual, have been included into the 'upstream' codebase. Strictly speaking, the additional architecture support probably should've been a patch, followed by merge upstream, followed by inclusion and then patch-drop in the package. They have been offered to the 'original upstream' codebase, for possible integration there if that's something that Brendan / Blendo Games would find useful. I guess that some remaining confusion arises from the fact that despite me managing both upstream and Debian packages currently, there are still patches in the 'debian/patches' directory. That does seem odd to me and I should probably take another look at including those into the upstream codebase. I think my original plan with those was to gradually offer them to 'original upstream' and drop them from the Debian package if-and-when accepted. Trying to remember/figure out my logic for why not all of them are offered upstream.. my best guess is that I've only offered ones that I think were unlikely to cause compatibility difficulties (so changing file paths, for example, is _not_ offered upstream) with the original. But I could be retroactively making that up. * Insufficient testing on the second architecture port - I got it running incredibly slowly in an emulator -- enough to confirm that it runs, basically, but not more than that. * My release signing has been inconsistent, partly because I'm not sure I have a long-term commitment to being a Debian Maintainer/Developer, and partly because I'm not sure I can reliably keep those keys secure (so, at best I think they would provide some integrity verification support, but I don't think they really attest highly that I'm the sole or uncompromised author). Not a particularly useful mindset to have, some might argue, but it does lead to me towards using ephemeral keypairs (somewhere, once, I had some web-of-trust identity, but I haven't continued to use or maintain it). All of these are avoidable problems - and in fact most of them are documented, but I found it tricky to find all of those details and to keep them in mind; even now I expect I would notice and learn more when reading through the packaging guidelines again. Generally it's been a good learning experience though. If any of the problems with the package make it ineligible for some reason, that's a shame, but I can manage. Otherwise, I'll be glad to fix things up where required and think about ideas to make those problems less likely for others to encounter (without reducing resulting package quality).

Bug#1026277: Quadrilateral Cowboy on Debian
Hi Brendon (and with the relevant Debian bug thread on cc), I've uploaded a copy of the packaged quadrilateralcowboy game source - with some small modifications and fixes, including ARM64 support - to the 'mentors.debian.net' pre-review site at https://mentors.debian.net/package/quadrilateralcowboy/ It isn't eligible for inclusion in the upcoming Debian 12 "bookworm" release, but it's possible it could be included in Debian "trixie" (the next release.. each is named after a Toy Story character), if it or another packaging attempt passes review. To confirm: the package contains only the game engine, without any game data; there is, however, separate support provided to make it easier for users with Steam accounts to install the game data if they have already purchased it. Thanks, James

Bug#1026277: ITP: quadrilateralcowboy -- first-person cyberpunk adventure game
Package: wnpp Followup-For: Bug #1026277 Control: tags -1 - help pending Based on developing a better understanding of Debian's usertags, I don't think that the 'help' and 'pending' tags currently apply here, so I'm going to remove them from the bug. Reasoning below: * my interpretation of 'pending' is that a package has been prepared and is ready for an upload, but that an upload hasn't taken place yet for reasons that are up to the maintainer. I don't think that 'pending' is intended to apply to packages that don't exist in Debian yet and require review. * I think that the 'help' tag exists to request additional assistance with a bug, especially when progress would benefit from extra expertise. I did think that that is true for my package -- review would help -- but that's equally true for any other package that is pending review/sponsorship.
