Bug#986382: DPL Jonathan Carter's passport number is *******
Hi guys, Please stop replying. That is a troll, will be banned quickly, dont maintain it alive. Just ignore, listmaster and bts will do what is needed. Keep power for other more interesting things. Regards Le 04/04/2021 à 23:18, crazy.mo...@lavache.com a écrit : If you don't want these ego-maniacs to use your name in their vendettas you can resign from Debian. This is the choice. How many people will resign if Debian votes to attack Stallman? Please tell us before the vote finishes so we call can know this now. No matter the outcome of this vote. Having the vote at all suggests that people are expendable. Volunteers can be hung over the side of the ship while people have an email argument about what to do next. Why don't you understand how toxic this is? There are so many years of defamation in Debian now. Delete it all now. Delete the negative options from the vote now. Please stop or we stop you.

If you refer to Jonathan Carter, that isn't even the person that started the vote, nor an original author of the open letter. Do your research, tbh to me it seems like you are a complete outsider. > Destroy nobody - Or destroy everybody! You can't have it both ways. First of all, nobody wants to "destroy" RMS. Calling someone to resign isn't destroying them, especially if they were just (secretly) elected. Secondly, why are you so toxic and want to "destroy" everybody? There is really no point, all you do is make the FLOSS community weaker and more divided. And since you seem to care about RMS and his ideas, I don't think that is something you would like. > If Debian is a vehicle for defamation, every one of you faces full consequences. Debian is a democracy. Assume one person votes in favor of RMS (which as you can see some people will do), why do you want them to face your alleged consequences? That doesn't make sense. They have no power to do the things you ask for. In fact, nobody in Debian has. Again, I don't think you understand the Debian project at all. > Your jobs are the targets. Your families are targets. I can understand that you are angry even if I don't agree with your views, but I don't think anyone here wants to harm RMS. Everyone here just wants the best for the FLOSS community. Why do you want to harm them so badly? Opinions on how what's the best for the community may differ, but that's fine. Discussions are healthy, as long as they stay friendly (btw your mails aren't). I have learned a lot from discussions, and yes sometimes people (me included) get unfriendly or say things that turn out to be false. But as long as we apologize for mistakes, we can grow from it. > No volunteer should have to suffer you toxic people Don't you think, just maybe, that we shouldn't suffer from your toxicity as well? Especially since we will suffer much more than you can ever suffer from this. I mean, what's the worst that can happen from your point of view? RMS resigns again? Then everything would be just like a month ago. Regards, Stephan
Bug#722451: Compiz team/package status.
Hi, 1. Compiz in Debian Yes, latest Compiz from Canonical will be in Debian 9. Upload is coming soon, Hypra paid for a Debian dev to do it. We choosed Compiz from Canonical because it's tested and mainstream. We don't use Compiz-reloaded (0.8), as so few users, plugins, etc. So yes, upload comes very soon (this month). 2. Compiz status 1st, be aware that the 1st upload will likely not work with Gnome 3.22. Usable with MATE and other desktops, but not Gnome. Patches come. Next, note that Canonical just maintains bugfixes now. It means that bugs like Gnome compatibility will be fixed, but this package is about dying for them (about 5 years). However, Hypra uses it with MATE for low-vision features. Then, Hypra will probably be the next biggest Compiz contributor through all features we plan. But of course, we'll love to be helped by community and to see this project a;ive. So far, we do pull request for Canonical and it's fine.

Bug#764008: ITP: emerald -- 0.9.7-beta1
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: "Jean-Philippe MENGUAL" * Package name: emerald Version : 0.9.7+beta1 Upstream Author : David Reveman * URL : http://cgit.compiz.org/fusion/decorators/emerald * License : GPL Programming Lang: C++ Description : Emerald is a window decorator that allows for a wide variety of new looks to be added to application windows. Emerald project is a window decorator that provides the borders to your windows normally provided by Marco (MATE). It is not required for Compiz to operate, however it allows for decorations to be edited or even created from scratch. For now, there are plenty of existing Emerald themes that can be downloaded and used first. Using Compiz and Emerald together can produce some genuinely stunning-looking desktop environments, although it is still possible to install and use them separately. Emerald manager allows you to add themes easily by import option, first you need to download themes then import via Emerald Manager. I added theme pack to PPA which contains approx 35 themes and two other theme sets Avalon-Dark-Light, Hoverglass that looks really great if used with matching Gtk themes. The themes are very useful for accessibility for low-visual impaired people, so that they can use Compiz and MATE with Orca and a typical layout. Given the purpose of the package, pkg-a11y could handle it. Any co-maintainer and sponsor is 9elcome. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This package is a dependency for Emerald, a decorator. This decorator itself is useful with Compiz on MATE DE, so that low-visual impaired people can use a typical DE with typical windows and button, even if they use Compiz.

Theorically I could adopt such package to include it in festival. However if i!'s obsolete, it's likely not a good ide. Nevertheless, does it mean that no doc exists for festival which is updated? If no, I think we can let this package orphan. If one exists, I think we should replace the contents of festival-doc with this new updated doc. Another question: isn't there any recent doc in the festival package? If yes, we can change control and rules files to generate festival and festival-doc packages from festival source. What's the exact situation of the doc upstream? Missing any up-to-date doc? In the source? In another place? I think the answer determines how to deal with the debian package. > Looking forward to hearing your comments. > > Should we be supporting some other information e.g. including a short file > with some > links to various sources of information about festival (possibly including > link to this old manual) > from within the festival package itself? If absolutely no doc exists, yes, I think it's a good idea to add a README.Debian. If the doc is really not relevant, yes it should be removed I think.

Bug#601596: RFH: festival -- General multi-lingual speech synthesis system
The "forbidden" problem is now fixed. So I plan to chgrp packages soon. I'll use git to make easier migration keeping the history. To have permissions, you should be added to tts group. For this, please request to be added. If you cannot git push anymore, it's because perm will have been changed. So don't worry, only request, you'll be added quickly.

Bug#601596: Joining the TTS team
Hi, The group is now created. You can join it when you like, from your alioth account, asking for joining the group. This group will gather all the people interested in speech synthetiser and tts question. When Peter is member, I'll chgrp the package festival, speechd-up and speech-tools to this new group. I'll try to see if espeak is interested too. Before forwarding the packages, I wait also for having more info about something I don't understand: tts.alioth.debian.org says "forbidden". So I'm not sure everything is perfect. Lastly, be aware that this project is named tts, has a svn repo and a tts-project mailing list. Let me know any reaction. And don't hesitate to send this announce to any interested people in tts question.

My situation is that I'm "nothing" in Debian. I only have an alioth account. So I don't know how is easy collaborating on svn/git. So my 1st idea is going on by mail, agreeing about a method, then go ahead. But of course if solutions exist to have svn/git easily, I agree if Peter and you think it's useful. So far I discover Debian's world and rules (from dev point of view) and I've to know it's not easy to understand processes and infrastructure now I know to package. So I stay opened for every proposal.

So if I can work on packaging and someone to work on the code itself (patches, discuss with upstream), it'd be excellent. We could work together in a complementary way. I did 1st tests with lintian, I've to say I don't understand some messages, especially those which have been appeared since I changed from 3.9.1 to 3.9.2 as TODO says. That for both packages. > > I'll also try to chip in whatever way I can. In changelog, I added myself to Maintainer and uploaders, but I let your name. Does Peter want to be added to these fields?

Hi, I will try to adopt this package, as well as festival (so I'll try closing bug 601596 too). Of course I'll have to see the TODO, see if there's update to do, where finding new upstream source.
