Bug#673652: Intent to adopt
owner 673652 ji...@debian.org owner 673654 ji...@debian.org owner 673655 ji...@debian.org retitle 673652 ITA: pwauth -- authenticator for mod_authnz_external and the Apache HTTP Daemon retitle 673654 ITA: libapache2-mod-authz-unixgroup -- access control based on on unix group membership for Apache retitle 673655 ITA: libapache2-mod-authnz-external -- authenticate Apache against external authentication services thanks I'm planning to adopt these soon. They aren't in horrible shape as is, and I am involved with a system that uses two of them right now. The post-wheezy transition to Apache 2.4 should be fine since upstream has already done it. - Jimmy Kaplowitz ji...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#604391: Apper status for Debian?
Hi Matthias, As a Debian developer and KDE user who wants to convert his parents' laptop away from Windows, I found your ITP while investigating the current state of KDE package managers on Debian. You've already done packaging work for Apper in (K)Ubuntu, and in fact it seems to have released in oneiric universe, which is great. Thank you for doing this! However your Debian ITP was filed almost a year ago and the last update to this bug in the Debian BTS was in August. What are your plans for adapting your packaging to Debian? If you need a sponsor for the first few uploads and until you're a DM, I'm happy to review your work, and I'm sure that many other DDs would be too. You seem to already be the maintainer of most PackageKit packages in Debian and applied for DM status two months ago, so I imagine you are familiar enough with Debian Policy and the like. If I do collaborate with you on this, I will make sure to involve the Debian QT/KDE team so that we can pay attention to their policies and practices as well, where relevant. If you have decided that you don't want to maintain Apper in Debian proper, I can take over the ITP, but I'll defer to you first. It would be quite helpful to have a working and reasonably bug-free package manager for KDE in Wheezy, which is currently targeted for freeze in June 2012 and then for release as soon it is sufficiently high-quality. Thanks again for your efforts thus far, - Jimmy Kaplowitz ji...@debian.org (I'm Hydroxide on irc.debian.org - feel free to collaborate with me there, but still please do respond to the bug with your plans.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yes, it's in the (legally binding part of the) text of both the GPL and the LGPL, in the sections regarding revised versions of those licenses. - Jimmy Kaplowitz ji...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The GPL and LGPL when specified with no license version restriction explicitly allow the recipient to use any version ever published by the FSF. So this is not a problem. - Jimmy Kaplowitz ji...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#91842: Althea in Debian, so closing the bug a second time.
Althea is now in the unstable distribution of Debian, apt-gettable and all. (Release 0.4.1-2 is apt-gettable currently, and a newer release 0.4.1-3 has been uploaded but has not yet been installed.) Therefore I am closing this bug again. Adrian, please correct me if I'm wrong again, but this time I do not think I am. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#91842: Debian package ready and sent to Debian
I have a sponsor, and my package has been accepted by the installer program. Should the bug be closed, or should it not be closed until the package can be apt-gotten? (The message from the installer program mentioned something about manual editing of an override file as a reason for the delay - can you explain this?) I am assuming that it should definitely be closed once the package can be apt-gotten, but please correct me if I am wrong about that as well. Thanks for correcting my newbie mistake. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, Apr 24, 2001 at 12:51:21AM +0200, Adrian Bunk wrote: > reopen 91842 > thanks > > On Mon, 23 Apr 2001, Jimmy Kaplowitz wrote: > > > A Debian package is available for althea at: > > > > ftp://ftp.kaplowitz.org/pub/althea/althea_0.4.1-2_i386.deb > >... > > I have closed the ITP (formerly an RFP) on Althea, since there is now a > > package > > for it. > >... > > I do reopen the ITP because "to package a program" means that to get it in > the Debian archive.

Bug#91842: Debian package ready and sent to Debian
A Debian package is available for althea at: ftp://ftp.kaplowitz.org/pub/althea/althea_0.4.1-2_i386.deb if you are on Intel, or you can get the Debian source files at: ftp://ftp.kaplowitz.org/pub/althea/althea_0.4.1-2.diff.gz ftp://ftp.kaplowitz.org/pub/althea/althea_0.4.1-2.dsc ftp://ftp.kaplowitz.org/pub/althea/althea_0.4.1.orig.tar.gz These have been accepted into the Debian system and will be apt-gettable from the unstable distribution within a week, possibly sooner. This is thanks to the generous sponsorship of Bas Zoetekouw, a current Debian developer. I have closed the ITP (formerly an RFP) on Althea, since there is now a package for it. Good luck with Althea - please tell me how best to keep informed about new versions. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#91842: Debian Package Ready, Need Sponsor
Hi, I have retitled bug #91842, which was an RFP for Althea (an IMAP email client for GTK+), as an IFP, and the package is now ready. If you want to download it compiled for Intel, it's at: ftp://ftp.kaplowitz.org/pub/althea/althea_0.4.1-1_i386.deb The source package is also there (.dsc, .diff.gz, .orig.tar.gz), as is my .changes file from the build. Could someone from debian-mentors please take a look at my package and sponsor it for inclusion in the distribution? If it gets in, I will seek to become an official Debian developer so I can handle this myself. I have fixed all the errors and warnings given by lintian, so that now lintian gives no messages. The dsc and changes files are properly signed, with a GPG key that is on keyserver.net - I have many there, most of which are obsolete :) but this is key ID DDE735DA. I am not currently subscribed to debian-mentors, so please CC me in all replies. If you think it's important for me to subscribe to debian-mentors for any reason, please just tell me so and I'll do it. Thank you, and I wish the Althea developers good luck with their program. I'm glad I can help. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#94783: The real reason I can't do it.....
.is, after further thought on my part, probably because it's too complicated for a first Debian package; I think I really do have enough time and that I was just fooling myself. In other words, I am more sure now than when I submitted the RFP that I won't be packaging it. - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#94783: RFP: nisca - Network statistics collector and grapher
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist NISCA (the Network Interface Statistics Collection Agent) is a program by Brett Baugh that gathers and displays network statistics. Here is a quote from its README file explaining its raison d'etre: "NISCA was born to replace the popular MRTG package. Although MRTG is a fine application respected all over the world, I've always found it lacking some features that I really wanted in a network statistics analyzer; things like scalable graphs, collection of data other than bytes transferred, the "time zoom" feature, and the ability to generate graphs from any period in the past without losing any detail due to data compression." It stores its data in a MySQL database, uses PHP4, supports reading from /proc on localhost or using SNMP to gather data, has a web-based administration GUI, and is generally pretty cool. I have contributed in small ways to this program and had intended to make a Debian package for it (it would have been my first), but I realize I don't have the time. However it deserves to be part of Debian, thus this request. If I get time later on, I may try to package it again, but I would be glad to let another interested party package NISCA. NISCA is subject to the GPL and is downloadable from: http://www.isthisthingon.org/nisca - Jimmy Kaplowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED]
