  As I'm not really into packaging python modules, it would be better if
  someone from the Python modules team would package python-launchpadlib
  and python-wadllib. Any volunteers?
 
 Given that James Westby was working on those, I'd like to hear from him
 about his progresses. I could eventually take care of the two packages
 myself under DPMT hat if James had no time.

I have been meaning to do this, but I haven't got round to checking the
packages and finding a sponsor.

Note that the full dependency set is

  python-launchpadlib
  python-lazr.restfulclient
  python-wadllib
  python-oauth
  python-lazr.uri

(Someone else filed an ITP for python-oauth the other day).

I would be happy for these to be taken over by DPMT as I know that you
do great work.

Thanks,

James

retitle 387971 RFP: mod-gnutls -- uses the GnuTLS library to provide SSL v3, 
TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 encryption for Apache
thanks

Hi,

I am afraid I am having to return this bug to an RFP. There are two
reasons for this. The first is that I am short on time, and so I don't
want to take on another package. The second is that the software has not
had a release in a long time, and there is no activity around it,
however I am not sure that is an indication that the project is dead, or
merely just having little interest.

If anyone would like to take this package on I don't have much to offer.
It does require relibtoolizing, and that was hampered by a broken
libtool at the time. I have a patch to work around the latter if it
still occurs (you get an error about missing tags).

Apologies if I blocked anyone else from working on this.

Thanks,

James

 Hi all,
 
 I just wanted to draw your attention to loggerhead [1].
 I don't know bazaar-webserve well enough and also played only a little
 with loggerhead, so I can't make a fair comparison.
 
 Might be interesting for bzr.debian.org though.
 

Hi,

I know of loggerhead, and it is nice. However it is a turbogears
application, making it harder to package, and perhaps not ideal for
alioth, though that is the admins' call.

A pkg-bzr team is currently forming, and we might package loggerhead as
part of that.

Thanks,

 Yes, this was my choice after Rafael Laboissiere privately suggested.

Is it really manufactured by SGS Thompson? Is it not from ST

 Hi,
 
 I made a package of botan some time ago, since there seems to be a
 demand for having it in Debian, I'll rebuild it on todays sid and upload
 it to NEW in a few minutes.
 

There was some discussion the other day about patent issues surrounding
the IDEA, and RC family of ciphers. This package includes
implementations of these ciphers. Should there be some consideration of
these issues? Will this happen on the trip through the NEW queue?

 What do you exactly mean by source? Packaging only moves dictionary to
 correct location. The source tarball only contains those dictionaries.
 
 BTW: I'm also the one who provides dictionary data [1] which are
 converted from CSV data available from the project [2].
 
 [1]: http://cihar.com/software/slovnik/
 [2]: http://slovnik.zcu.cz/
 

Ok, so by source I probably meant these CSV files, what the GPL calls
preferred form of modification. If the package is GPL (I forget) then
this is required to be distributable.

My concerns were raised due to the fact that the source package only
contains binary files, so it is unlikely that is the format they are
edited in.

I cannot sponsor the package, but I have a couple of comments for you,

You should add a copyright and license statement about the Debian
packaging to debian/copyright. See 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/03/msg00023.html

You don't need the configure target in debian/rules.

Yes, I am, though I'm not too sure what dato's plans are for the

If you want pre-release packages let me know, but they will come with
the usual caveats.

Also the web page says that it is not ready for use. I'm not sure how
far away it is, but I might keep it out of etch in that case.

 
 I wish this module were in Debian, so I could use gpg keys for https.
 

That would be cool. I can't see any mention of this in a quick reading

 Indeed. On the other hand, bazaar will quickly fade out and bzr will
 probably take over the bazaar word again.

That's true.

 
  I have put version unknown as there have not been any releases as such.
  I am going to contact the author and ask whether he will be making
  releases. If he isn't then I will package appropriately named snapshots.
 
 Please, when you have a packaged ready, tell me. We want to deploy this
 software on http://bzr.debian.org and I'm reluctant to using non-packaged
 software.
 
 So I'd appreciate if you could create a first package even with a version
 0~bzr166 which mentions only the bzr revision of the upstream
 repository.
 

I have something pretty basic at the moment, but it's certainly not
ready for upload (no copyright file for a start).

I have spoken to the developer, and he says he will make releases,
starting one for bzr 0.10 which is due out soon (tomorrow). 

His next release will include proper copyright/license information which
will allow me to finish the package off.

I slowed my work because of this, so the package is still a little raw.
I can let you have an experimental version now though if you would like.

Bug#385349: ITP: bazaar-webserve -- allow a bzr branch to be accessed via the web

2006-08-30 Thread James Westby
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: James Westby [EMAIL PROTECTED]

* Package name: bazaar-webserve
  Version : Unknown
  Upstream Author : Goffredo Baroncelli kreijack AT inwind DOT it
* URL : http://goffredo-baroncelli.homelinux.net/bazaar-dev/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : allow a bzr branch to be accessed via the Web

  bazaar-webserve provides both a plugin to bzr, and set of cgi scripts
  that allow a bzr branch to be accessed over the Web. It is similar in
  intent to websvn and gitweb. 
  .
  It first provides a command (webserve) to bzr which starts up a
  server and receives HTTP requests. It can also work via CGI and so use
  a HTTP server to handle the requests.
  .
  It allows for browsing of the repository, and for browsing through
  revisions and viewing diffs between revisions. It can also be
  configured to provide a .tar.gz download of a requested revision, and
  to allow branching from the hosted branch.
  .
   Homepage: http://goffredo-baroncelli.homelinux.net/bazaar-dev/


The upstream name of this software is bazaar-webserve, so I am going
with that, but bzr-webserve would fit in better with the rest of the
debian bzr naming scheme. 

I have put version unknown as there have not been any releases as such.
I am going to contact the author and ask whether he will be making
releases. If he isn't then I will package appropriately named snapshots.

 I dont know if there are any special package treatments for 
 mentors.debian.net (I never used it) but it should be no 
 problem to build a -2 revision and upload it.

I don't think its necessary to upload a -2 for this (or even a good
idea). m.d.n allows you to reupload the same version for this sort of
reason.

To the OP, is it saying it can't upload as the server wont let it, or is
it saying it will not upload as dupload/dput thinks it has already
uploaded that version (without asking the server). This will be the case
if there is still an upload file in the directory. Delete this and it
should work.

 Hello,
 
 I'm still working of the packaging but I have some issues I don't know how to

 Here's the linitian errors :

 W: audacious: binary-without-manpage audtool

 I'll write a manpage for audtool.
 
 audacious-arts-helper shouldn't be in path because it's an helper for the 
 Arts output plugin. I should move it to /usr/lib/audacious/ but I don't know 
 how to do it. May you help me ?

[Apologies if this is a bit brief, it;s the third time of trying]

Try 

usr/bin/audacious-arts-helper usr/lib/audacious/

in debian/audacious-plugins-extra.package. See dh_install(1) for more
info.

 The two warning about rpath shouldn't exists too because I configured 
 audacious with --disable-rpath. I don't knwo how to fix them.
 

Apparently --disable-rpath doesn't work. It might be worth trying to
work out why it thinks it needs it. What arch are you building on?

A couple more points

  pkg-config is needed in Build-Depends. pbuilder can help to catch
  this sort of thing.

  libvisual is now libvisual-0.4-dev in sid (which you should be
  targetting).

  It looks like libtag1-dev should be preferred to libtagc0-dev, but I'm
  not entirely sure.

Bug#323420: Metasploit packaging - license issues

2006-08-03 Thread James Westby

Hi Luciano,

I hope you are well.

So debian-legal helped point out the places where metasploit in its
current state makes it undistributable, and the new license is not DFSG
free.

How would you like to proceed now? Do you want to conatact the
developers to try and make an effort to sort all of this out?

Bug#374104: apt-listbugs

2006-07-10 Thread James Westby
[Cced the bug again so that there is a record]

On (09/07/06 19:09), Nigel Jones wrote:
 Hi, I have noticed your interest in Debian bug 374104 [1], the
 orphanage of apt-listbugs [2], and I am wondering if you are maybe
 planning to ITAing it yourself, if not, I will do so, and if that is
 the case, be really keen to fix certain bugs with you, i.e. the ones
 you have created patches for etc.

As I said in my first mail to the bug I don't really plan to adopt it,
just to tidy it up, as the whole package is RC-buggy in my opinion. 

I have sent patches to the BTS where a clean patch was possible for the
bug report, but I have much more done in my local copy. I can let you
have my latest source if you let me know how you want it. It is an svn
repo that starts from the current unstable package at the moment. 

I would be interested in working with you until the packages are in a
decent shape again, how do you feel about this? My current version (I
think) fixes all the bugs that do not require a major overhaul of the
code. It also leaves the version tracking etc. problems as it appears
the problem is within the code that generates the files that
apt-listbugs uses to get the bug states, and I do not have access to
that code. I believe that it runs on merkel, so maybe a DD can access it
and make it publically available. 

 
 Also out of interest, are you a DD?

No, unfortuanately not. I was going to get a QA upload done, but as you
are adopting then you can seek out a proper sponsor.

Bug#374104: apt-listbugs

2006-07-10 Thread James Westby
On (11/07/06 08:19), Nigel Jones wrote:
 So, far I have been attempting to incorporate your patches into the
 code, but I have decided to start from scratch again, and try and kill
 the RC bug (334697), I have been in contact with Aba (Andreas) and we
 should have some fresh data files built (based off the output of
 bts2ldap), I'm sure it can be easily phased by apt-listbugs with a bit
 of work.

apt-listbugs shouldn't need much modification unless you modify the
format or location of the files. I'm sure your work will go a long way
to fixing all of the problems though.

Again, I'll say that I have a complete source package with all of my
modifications included that you could use as a base. The modifications
are away form the version-tracking and bug-handling code for the most
part, so changes should be easy to handle.

I'm unsure about the wisdom of having the code that generates the files
not publically accessible, as this to me seems like part of the source
of apt-listbugs. I'm sure that there is no legal argument to that
effect, but it seems to go against the spirit of the project. It also
hinders contributions, as only a few people can see the code and so
diagnose bugs in it, and provide patches that might have been able to
fix the problem long ago. Perhaps this is something you could consider
as maintainer of the package.

 
 The code which i've seen (on the qa.debian.org side), is just making a
 copy of all the .status files from the bts spool, which I believe
 sometime soon are going to be no more, which seems to suggest that a
 complete rewrite of the checking side of the program.

This might be a good idea anyway. From what I have seen these files are
the source of the bugs related to this, and the reason the package is RC
buggy in the first place. In my opinion most of the important bugs
should also be RC, but it's not my place to elevate them (though most
will probably be fixed along with the RC one by the same changes).

 
 Sadly however, it may not be possible to run the code at say midnight
 when the archive gets updates, due to what I am told is already busy
 load on qa., so we may need a message in listbugs stating that the
 data may be upto 12/24 hours out of date, we'll get to that when we
 come to it.

This makes sense, though I'm not sure it needs to be runtime output,
it could just be in README and perhaps the package description.

2006-06-28 Thread James Westby
Hi,

I have been doing some work on solving the simple bug reports of
apt-listbugs. I do not intend to adopt the package, but hopefully I can
do enough to warrant a QA team upload. I have been sending my patches to
the BTS so that they will not be lost at any rate.

I am not adverse to anyone ITAing tis package, but can I suggest that if
someone does they contact me so that my work does not go to waste, and
they don't have to collect all the patches from the bts.

Thanks,

James

I would be interested in helping with this package if you agree.

I have had an initial look and it does look difficult with lots of 
pitfalls.


Could you let me know when you have a version together and I'll take a look.


BTW, what's your opinion with metasploit v3.0?
  


I think the license will have to go to debian-legal, I might do this in 
a week or so. I think the two versions should be packaged separately if 
they are both to be in.


What do you think of setting up a metasploit alioth group to handle
