Bug#320253: RFP: libarchive-ar-perl -- Interface for manipulating ar archives
It needs a lot of work, and I've learned so much since then. I don't think it's archive-ready at all. Let me know if someone wants to pick it up upstream though. I have a lot of plans for it that won't see the light of day until I'm finished with a few larger projects. -jay On Mon, 2005-09-12 at 19:22 +0200, Florian Ernst wrote: Hello Jay, On Wed, 27 Jul 2005 23:12:46 +0200, Artur R.

Heya Michael, If you need alzabo in any sort of timeframe, feel free to go ahead and package it.

Bug#210534: your ITA of libxml-libxml-perl
Heya Michael, I'll take a look at your Debian stuff tomorrow, after I get back from the concert I'm hitting tonight. If you want to adopt axkit, what we should do is sit down and take a look at the AxKit modules and what it directly needs, and figure out what the best group of modules for you to adopt are. I have software upstream that depends on some of these modules (some on it's way to the archive, some not), and I would like to co-maintain those modules. I'll check out your patches in the next day or two (I'll definitely have some time over the weekend), and we can talk about it then. Do you have instant messenger? That's the best way to reach me.

Bug#197817: Net::SCP::Expect licensing question (for Debian packaging)
Greetings Daniel, I am looking at your module Net::SCP::Expect for possible packaging and inclusion in the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (it was requested by someone in the userbase). The only reservation I have is that I can't find a license statement. I assume it's GPL/Artistic (same as perl itself) licensing, but I thought I'd write to ask and make sure. It really is a very useful module, and I'll be glad once we can make it available to Debian users as a whole.

The pixel format, called half, is compatible with the half datatype in NVidia's Cg graphics language and is supported natively on their new GeForce FX and Quadro FX 3D graphics solutions. Multiple lossless image compression algorithms. Some of the included codecs can achieve 2:1 lossless compression ratios on images with film grain. Extensibility.

Bug#175316: ITP: libkrb4-perl -- Perl extensions for Kerberos 4
Hey Steve, I thought about this very same thing before putting this up for packaging. My reasons are as follows: a) I am working on a project that wants krb5 support, and I figured I could option krb4 support as well b) Debian already has a lot of libraries and support for krb4 clients. it is legacy and this is not a reason in and of itself, but it is compelling(in my mind) for inclusion in the archives. c) The packages have not changed in a year or two on CPAN which says to me that they are pretty much FINAL. With not a lot of code delta, I don't expect them to be a burden on myself (or theoretically the QA team or a future maintainer). I don't know how Debian feels about including the low hanging fruit, as I'm new at this, but I'd like your opinion on it. Also, as an option, since they are by the same author, I could package them together, but my gut instinct says to have them separately. Your thoughts?

Bug#155879: Willing to NMU
Hi there, I am willing to NMU the package libcarp-assert-perl as I need it to get some other packages into Debian. I have downloaded the package from your website and reviewed the packaging. It does currently need a few changes, these are: 1) You should remove the debian/README.Debian as it does not contain any useful information which is additional to what is already stated elsewhere in your package. 2) You need to add the correct url for original download. It is actually something like: http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MS/MSCHWERN/. 3) You need to put a note as to location of the Perl license into debian/copyright (/usr/share/doc/perl/copyright). 4) debian/rules should be corrected so the build is done in binary-indep not binary-arch, (basically just swap the binary-indep and binary-arch targets around). The first four were pointed out to me by another kind Debian developer and have been remedied on my local build for some time. 5) debian/rules needs to be fixed so it creates *.3perl man pages not *.3pm, this is done by using the MAN3EXT=3perl option when doing the make and make install phases. e.g.: $(MAKE) OPTIMIZE=-O2 -g -Wall MAN3EXT=3perl $(MAKE) install PREFIX=$(CURDIR)/debian/libcarp-assert-perl/usr MAN3EXT=3perl Interesting. I've made that change. 6) You should be aware that although removing all empty directories is a good idea there is a subtle bug in your find command in that xargs splits on white space so a directory path containing whitespace (which could happen with Linux) will be broken up into two incorrect pieces. You should look at using the -0 (--null) option with xargs to make it safer. Here is one where I hit a snag. I made the xargs and find changes per their documentation, but what kills me is this. I tried it with a directory upstream called Test Directory /home/jaybonci/Test Directory/deb/libcarp-asser-perl Everything worked a-ok until I got to the file installation part. I enclosed the PREFIX=CURDIR/stuph in quotes, and it did end up creating a deb with no files (files ended up in /home/jaybonci/Test/usr etc). Lintian proceeded to choke with an internal error, with other errors from the file utilities. Basically there are more than a few bugs going down here that really need to be fleshed out and made into good bug reports. I shall do so tonight, but in the meantime, I'd like to forge onwards with this package. It seems these bugs are not specific to my build process. 7) You are including Makefile.old in your package which accounts for a huge portion of the created diff (806 lines out of a 956-line diff). I think you need to do a 'make distclean' in your clean target in debian/rules rather than just 'make clean'. And then possibly do a 'debuild clean' before you next build the package. The diffstat package is a great tool for examining the diff output of debuild. I took a look at the makefile, and I've slimmed it's diff down greatly. Basically most of these points (2,3,4 5) are necessary to make the package comply with debian policy. You should read through the perl-policy document http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/perl-policy/ I've read that several times, but I think a lot of this will come with experience, and can be filed under Best practicing packages in my mind. Thanks for all of the advice. It is sincerely appreciated. If you fix all these issues, let me know and I will happily upload the fixed package. I am looking to get my own packages in fairly soon so I will go ahead and fix the bugs and upload if I don't hear anything from you in the next couple of weeks. I'll attach packages to a separate email (they are quite small). It's going to take time to rebuild and redeploy all of my packages to the website, but if you can sponsor/NMU the libcarp-assert-perl I would be very grateful. That is the last step in my Debian application process. and I'm very eager to get started.

Bug#99943: ITP: linuxfocus -- Linux Magazine translated in many languages
I'll package linuxfocus. I don't have anything ready just yet for it, but I'll tentatively take it, and ask around for the right way to go about actually naming any packages / subpackages. I intend to probably name them something like: linuxfocus-en-200207 for a July,2002 issue And then create a capstone package, for the language and then all of them So you'd have something like a empty package with only dependancies: linuxfocus: which would provide (read: depend): linuxfocus-en linuxfocus-de linuxfocus-fr linuxfocus-es ,etc and then linuxfocus-en: would provide: linuxfocus-en-200208-1 linuxfocus-en-200207-1 etc etc It's a lot of packages, but I think it breaks it up the right way, and I think it makes the most sense for issues that will come out. I'm going to crosspost the gist of this to debian-mentors and see what answers I get. If I don't hear otherwise, I'll proceed like that. --jay
