David already said a lot of good things but let me extend on that:

- apt-key use is slated for removal no later than Feb 29th.
- apt signature verification should not involve shell scripts
  (hence the removal in the first place)
- apt-verify looks like it's an apt tool and is easy to confuse
  with apt-sign, apt's openpgp replacement, and what will likely
  be the name of the method verifying apt-ed25519 signatures,
  'verify'

In closing let me say I consider overriding APT's signature verification
to be RC-buggy and would immediately file an RC bug should that package
be accepted.

-- The road forward, signature verification and sandboxing concerns

I do not think we currently have a way to move forward with signature
verification hooks due to issues with the download sandbox. If we want
to come up with solutions to plug in additional verification steps, we
first need to

1) finish the sandboxing to move verification of files outside the
   sandbox, or writes from the download and decompressor steps into
   a deeper sandbox

   Essentially my consideration is to replace the entire acquire stack
   with a new event-based stack that's easier to reason about because at
   this point the interactions between the classes we have are
   unreasonable and not understandable.

2) figure out how we can integrate additional verification steps
   with well known security properties that ensure reliability of
   the sandbox. We don't just want to run arbitrary hooks in the
   sandbox (or as root really).

3) figure out a protocol for this. My goal is to adopt varlink in
   APT for IPC to provide a daemon for APT as well as to replace
   custom IPC protocols we currently have like the various classic
   hooks, the JSON hooks, and the acquire protocol.

   Then it would be nice to be able to say "hook in after
   'org.debian.apt.verify' and do additional things".

This will probably take until 2030 or so if I'm the only one working on
it but that's the position that we should aim for rather than blindly
hooking in things where they're not expected or creating hooks that we
don't know how they will work in the final design.

I do not think it makes sense to package this as is. There's also
another implementation that came first that I don't remember.

If we do want this, we should maybe rename it to inhibit-sync or
similar and see if we can get it into util-linux (or moreutils)

Bug#921372: ITP: triehash -- generator for perfect hash functions as C code

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Julian Andres Klode 

* Package name: triehash
  Version : 0.3
  Upstream Author : Julian Andres Klode 
* URL : http://github.com/julian-klode/triehash/
* License : MIT
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : generator for perfect hash functions as c 

TrieHash generates perfect hash functions as C code (representing the
hashing as a set of recursive switches) which then gets compiled into
optimal machine code. It is substantially faster than gperf, at the
expense of larger object files.

TrieHash is used by APT (which currently ships its own copy), and is
planned to be used for dpkg, so I'm packaging it up now.

^ 
This clearly needs some bikeshedding on the short description, the
github repo says:

  Generator for order-preserving minimal perfect hash functions in C

Here's a paper of sorts:

This is getting out of hand. We do not need a fork of a fork in the
archive, and ship 3 variants of the same code.

We would appreciate if you'd work with the MATE people to integrate
your changes there instead of forcing the extra burden of maintaining
another GNOME fork on Debian.

debian/copyright needs an update and there's an embedded http

I basically prepared the debian/copyright list of things to
add / change, but did not actually update it yet. Here's the
things that are different compared to COPYING (which also
lacks long licenses, but that's a different story):

[10:59:44]  src/gui/csvImport/CsvParserModel.cpp  contains Copyright

[11:08:27]  src/keys has files Copyright (C) 2014 Kyle Manna

I don't think we need the company advertisement here, though.

This looks good so far for the package description, not sure about

Seems like this is not a good fit for the package description, and
the quote might have licensing issues.

The email bounced (address does not exist), and given that it's been 4 months
since Matt tried to ITP, and he did not answer to the query 2 months ago, it's
safe to assume he lost interest, so I'm taking ownership.

I pushed the packaging so far to 
  https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/keepassxc.git
(web ui will appear soon, and it might need some cleanup and rebasing
 before release; also copyright file needs update).

So, are you still interested in this? I have a package mostly ready
(have not checked copyright and watch yet), it was really only a matter
of cloning the keepassx repo and then running sed s#keepassx#keepassxc#g

If I don't hear from you in the next days, I assume you lost interest,

Ah yes, some Depends also need to be Build-Depends for test
discovery to work. There are no unit tests now, but I just
added the deps in git now rather than disabling testing.

Note: I might rebase the git branch before uploading.

Please don't. We already have enough packages in the archive that
use the apt name and cause confusion because people think they are
APT tools and thus come to the APT maintainers asking for help.

Especially if you do not use apt tools or library and thus do not
integrate correctly. Like the file fetching, the sources.list handling
(does not handle deb822).

We spent a lot of work to make these things accessible, so please
don't just hack your way around it and upload that into the archive.

Bug#836867: ITP: sicherboot -- Installs systemd-boot and kernels to ESP, signed for secure boot

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Julian Andres Klode <j...@debian.org>

* Package name: sicherboot
  Version : 0.1.0
  Upstream Author : Julian Andres Klode <j...@jak-linux.org>
* URL : https://github.com/julian-klode/sicherboot
* License : MIT
  Programming Lang: Shell
  Description : Installs systemd-boot and kernels to ESP, signed for secure 
boot

 sicherboot manages kernels and systemd-boot on a secure boot
 machine. It installs kernels and systemd-boot, generates signing keys to
 enroll in the machine,  and signs the kernels and the bootloader with it.
 .
 The keys used to sign the UEFI binaries are located in /var/lib. If /var/lib
 is not encrypted, the whole setup is unsafe: One of the files generated is
 rm_PK.auth, which, when written to UEFI, reverts the system to setup mode
 where no checks are performed.
 .
 Currently, the package only supports amd64 architecture. It also has to
 divert the /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dracut file and replace it with its
 own file that calls the diverted one and updates the ESP afterwards, as
 dracut does not support any form of hooks.

Lifting the amd64 restriction requires a bit more work: Triggers
need to be adjusted and the correct EFI binaries need to be found
at run time (for the EFI stub which allows us to merge a kernel
with an initramfs).

Well, people seem to be happy to "invade" other namespaces, just look
at how much packages start with "apt-" ;) [which confuses users, because
they think the APT team is the right team to talk to].

But we don't have the replacement problem, there is no apt-ng package
or similar.

May I suggest debian-cd-live or debian-live-cd as a name? That would
be close in name to debian-cd, highlighting its use case. Or 
vmdebootstrap-live if you want to focus on vmdebootstrap name-wise (you
being maintainer here).

Bug#733233: RFH: software-center -- Utility for browsing, installing, and removing software

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request assistance with maintaining the software-center package. Or
killing it.

I don't have enough days (or weeks?) to get a new upstream version
working.

The package description is:
 The Software Center lets you browse and install thousands of
 free applications available for your System. You can view available
 software by category, or search quickly by name or description.
 You can also examine the software already installed, and remove items
 you no longer need.
 .
 To install or remove software using USC, you need administrator access
 on the computer.

This package consists of horrible Ubuntu-specific that needs to be patched
to work on Debian. It needs an update to the new upstream version, but as
the code became increasingly more Ubuntu-specific and I don't have enough
free hours to refactor this codebase or hack the Ubuntu stuff out in some
way, I need some help. This needs people to disable Ubuntu SSO and similar
stuff, as they are pointless to maintain in Debian, and won't offer us any
real features.

A better way forward is gnome-software, but I believe it needs some more
time to implement/discuss the required changes with ftpmasters, but that's
mak's work.

Bug#662080: ITP: hadori -- Hardlinks identical files

[Julian Andres Klode]

 portable.

And it does not seem correct if you spend so much time in the map, at
least not without caching. And normally, you most likely do not have
the tree(s) you're hardlinking on cached.

 
 The main logic is in hadori.C, handle_file and uses:
 
 std::unordered_mapino_t, inode const kept;
 std::unordered_mapino_t, ino_t to_link;
 std::unordered_multimapoff_t, ino_t sizes;
 
 class inode contains a struct stat, a file name and an adler checksum, but I 
 plan to drop the last one because I think the hashing option is no great gain.

I basically have the equivalent to a multimapoff_t, inode in my code. For
hashing, you may want to use crc32 instead of adler32. Adler32 likes to have
collisions (mostly on small sizes, though, but still, far more collisions
than CRC32). Performance is not really different, you'll spend far more
time in read()ing anyway.

  Greetings

 I've been thinking about the problem of memory consumption too. But I've
 come to a different solution. One that doesn't need memory at all.

I know yet another solution. For each file you visit, you simply visit
the complete tree. Than you have n + 1 visits, but get constant space
usage.

 
 Instead of remembering inodes, filenames and checksums create a global
 cache (e.g. directory hierachy like .cache/start of hash/hash)
 and hardlink every file to there. If you want/need to include uid, gid,
 mtime, mode in there then make that part of the .cache path.
 
 Garbage collection in the cache would be removing all files with a link
 count of 1.
 
 Going one step further link files with unique size [uid, gid, mtime,
 ...] to .cache/size and change that into .cache/size/start of
 hash/hash when you find a second file with the same size that isn't
 identical. That would save on the expensive hashing of clearly unique
 files.

So implement an object store and replace files outside the object
store with hardlinks to the store. Yes, this is guaranteed to work
for some cases, but also has problems. If you create files first, and
then move them to the store, you still need to check every file with
link count != 1 and check whether it is in the cache already. And for
this, you need a lookup by inode if you want to avoid hashing.

And this is basically the same hierarchy as git has:
.git/objects/first 2 hex digits of sha1sum/remaining sha1sum

 
 You could also use a hash that computes the first byte from the first
 4k, second byte from 64k, thrid from 1mb and so on. That way you can
 check if the beginning of 2 files match without having to checksum the
 whole file or literally comprare the two.

If the beginning can match. They're not guaranteed to match just because
the hashes match.

Bug#662080: ITP: hadori -- Hardlinks identical files

[Julian Andres Klode]

 if you run it on a single directory as well. The
option that does not make sense at all is --minimize, though,
I don't know why anyone would want this. Historical garbage in
my opinion.


 
   It
   started with tree based map and multimap, now it uses the unordered_
   (hash based) versions which made it twice as fast in a typical workload.
  
  That's strange. In my (not published) C++ version of hardlink, unordered
  (multi) maps were only slightly faster than ordered ones. I then rewrote
  the code in C to make it more readable to the common DD who does not
  want to work with C++, and more portable.
  
  And it does not seem correct if you spend so much time in the map, at
  least not without caching. And normally, you most likely do not have
  the tree(s) you're hardlinking on cached.
 
 I have, because I usually run:
 $ rsync -aH $source $dest --link-dest $last
 $ hadori $last $dest

OK, but then you're having either large amounts of RAM or not
much to compare. If I read one million files, my cache is
practically useless afterwards and only takes care of some
of them, but most have to be re-read.

You might want to try hardlink 0.2~rc1. In any case, I don't think we need
yet another such tool in the archive. If you want that algorithm, we can
implement it in hardlink 0.2 using probably about 10 lines. I had that
locally and it works, so if you want it, we can add it and avoid the
need for one more hack in that space.

hardlink 0.2 is written in C, and uses a binary tree to map
(dev_t, off_t) to a struct file which contains the stat information
plus name for linking. It requires two allocations per file, one for
the struct file with the filename, and one for the node in the tree
(well, actually we only need the node for the first file with a
 specific (dev_t, off_t) tuple). A node has 3 pointers.

 very cool :-). I had the same thought and started talking to Andreas Beckmann

Great. The problem here being that you actually have libegl1, libgles1,
and libgles2 to divert. But all libraries depend on each other, so I
currently have one package for them:

  Package: tegra-libraries
  Provides: libegl1-tegra, libgles1-tegra, libgles2-tegra

In the mean-time, while you're discussing, should I upload a package
that simply diverts the library (It's almost finished now)?

On a side note, I'm currently building a kernel for the AC100 based on
the 2.6.38-5 package, and standard configuration files.

Bug#624758: O: notify-osd -- daemon that displays passive pop-up notifications

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the notify-osd package, with one RC
bug and an outdated version.

I CCed the the pkg-ayatana team and the debian-derivatives
mailing list, as this is part of the Ubuntu user experience
and maybe someone interested in Deb-Ubu-collaboration wants
to maintain it.

I have no use for this package anymore since quite some time
already, and have no intent to maintain it anymore. I'm now
also running GNOME 3 which has its own notification way.

I maintain the packaging in 
   https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~juliank/notify-osd/debian

it is derived from the main branch of notify-osd and patches
are maintained via bzr itself, just like the Ubuntu package.

Also, fixing Bug #539050 in giver seems a good idea:
  giver should support notification daemon without 'actions' capability.

The package description is:
 The Desktop Notifications framework provides a standard way of doing
 passive pop-up notifications on the Linux desktop.  These are
 designed to notify the user of something without interrupting their
 work with a dialog box that they must close.  Passive popups can
 automatically disappear after a short period of time.

  I think that all in all, apt2 is a known name already, it can be found

 Is apt2 using the same resolver as apt, and are changes to that resolver
 coordinated with the existing apt implementation?
The solvers are not written yet (this needs input from dburrows for the
overall API (currently in discussion), and from zack for the external
solver; although the latter could be delayed). After all, the goal is to
have a clear, documented, understandable and useful code. And APT's
solver is a hell to understand in my opinion.

 
 Does apt2 implement support for multiarch?
The cache can store all information needed for multi-arch, and the API
does not really care about it (package objects are
name,architecture,version,hash, so the difference between two
different architectures and two different versions is the same). Some
parts for making the API easier to use are missing though, and the
multi-arch information is not written yet (as we currently just import
the APT cache).

 
  Well, you're the only one to complain about the naming.
 
 I also object to giving this package a name that implies it's the successor
 implementation to the current apt when, today, it is not.  Some of your
 comments suggest that the code isn't even written yet.  I don't know why you
 would submit an ITP if there's nothing yet to be packaged.
Well, in the few hours it had a different name, I considered uploading
it to experimental; afterwards, I decided not to waste this bug by
closing it, and thus renamed it to the current codename. And I can't
play renaming all the time, this would be counter productive to the
overall progress.


For your information, the code is at
http://git.debian.org/?p=users/jak/apt2.git and currently has:
  * capt (command-line APT); with the following subcommands
  * Reading: show, showpkg, stats, madison, pkgnames, policy
  * apt-config replacement: config-dump and config-get
  * Limited 'why' and 'why-not'
  * The most advanced pinning implementation for binary packages:
  * Pinning by source packages works
  * Regular and glob()-like expressions are supported in
Package, Source, and Pin; although slow for the first
two.
  * Completely implemented in 730 lines, where 469 are code;
the remaining ones (261) are comments and empty lines.
  * A test suite

In planning and/or development are:
  * Dropping the APT cache importer and parsing the files ourselves
(that's a matter of abstracting things)
  * Dependency solver
  * Downloader
  * Installing stuff (depends on parts of solver)
  * Support for non-dpkg distributions (Slackware,Fedora,MeeGo)

What it shall be / why it is here:
  * An APT implementation that is easy to understand
  * An APT implementation that supports other package formats
  * An APT implementation that is designed for multi-arch from the
start
  * An APT implementation that does not bind apps to the GPL

 I find it fairly rude to stomp on apt's namespace like that, and while
 apt's currently at a sub-1 number, it might eventually reach 2.0, and
 then you'll have more confusion, just like you have for jabberd 1.4 and
 jabberd2 being completely different code bases that have nothing in
 common apart from the name.  The same goes for apt-ng or similar names
 that imply that «apt2» is the next version of apt.
 
 (This said with the assumption that «apt2» isn't scheduled to replace
 apt, with the apt maintainers's blessing.  If they're happy to drop the
 current apt in favour of «apt2», my complaint goes away.)

Let's make it clear that:
  * APT2 is the current codename of the project
  * APT2 (or APT 2.0) may be the final name, if
  * At least 50% of the active APT developers agree[0];
currently:
  * Michael Vogt
  * David Kalnischkies [1]
  * Julian Andres Klode
  * and the package is accepted by ftpmaster
And:
  * APT2 will be backwards-compatible to APT on the configuration
level
  * APT2 will feature a compatibility layer on the Python level
  * APT2 will be very very similar to APT on the command-line
(although everything is in one tool, but you could create compat
symlinks)
  * APT2's API is otherwise very different, as it is written in C.
  * APT2 is LGPL-2.1+ licensed, whereas APT consists of GPL-2+ and
public domain parts

If we get no agreement on the APT2 name when it is production-ready, I
will choose a different name (seek a few proposals and get a poll).

On a different matter, if someone wants to have a cow [or a daemon and a
GNU for GNU/kFreeBSD ] in APT2, please send one (it should be LGPL-2.1+
licensed, although FreeBSD license should be acceptable as well).

[0] voting of course once it is production-ready, not now.

I tried to package it a few weeks ago, but found out that it requires yet
another new package (python-xkit[1]). After looking at the quality of
that package, I lost my interest in packaging jockey.

But the Ubuntu package builds as it is, you just need to build

 It seem like a good compromize to make it easy to get hardware

I did not take a look at it recently as I am primarily working on

I guess I'll just take jockey, get it buildable and upload it

 AIUI, you have to add a build-dependency anyway and change at least one
 line in the debian/rules to call dh-autoreconf. Well, that line could
 simply call autoreconf (or whatever) which even makes debian/rules clearer.

The difference is that dh_autoreconf calls autoreconf and stores a list
of the changes and the changed files are then removed in the clean
target. If you just call autoreconf, the changes end up in the diff;
and this is not what we want.

BTW; The code is now available at
  http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/dh-autoreconf.git
and also features a CDBS rule for those maintainers still
using it and a --mode parameter with a 'timesize' mode to
use size+timestamp instead of an md5sum to detect changes.

Well, Joey wrote the following:

 Regarding including these commands in debhelper, I am uncertian because
 these commands would not be included in the default dh sequences, or the
 example rules files, and that would be a first -- currently every
 command in debhelper is included in the dh sequences and all except dh_auto_*
 are included in the longer example rules files.
 
 Adding an optional command to debhelper that likely does not do the
 right thing for a fairly large percentage of packages (my experience
 with running autoreconf and having it actually work, in the real world,
 is not exactly stellar) would be a departure.

 I do use autoreconf and I don't have these changes in my diff.
A 'debuild; debuild' should have a different result than a single
debuild then. If you build from a clean directory, the first build
will contain no changes. But after the build, the directory is not
clean anymore and debian/rules clean does not do enough to keep the
changes from appearing in the source package if you build again.

 
 IMO, a backup/restore script (where you specify the list of files to
 backup) may be more useful. It would be called before build and when cleaning.
I don't think so, it requires you to keep track of the files
and you may miss some.

 I should have done that earlier (but didn't see the git repo, only now). I
 had a look at dh-autoreconf's code and the difference between what I do
 and what your script does is that I manually specify a list of files to
 monitor while you monitor all files.
 
 IMO, dh-autoreconf may be not specific to autoreconf but all same kind of
 tools and thus, can be enhanced by making, for example, the command to
 execute an argument which could be the command true (and keep
 autoreconf as a default) because, sometimes, it may be needed to make
 debian/autoreconf.after a bit later than just after executing
 autoreconf. Hopefully, we can do that by overriding the file.

The idea is that I want to keep debian/autoreconf.{before,after}
only related to the autoreconf run.


 If you have these options, dh-autoreconf becomes nothing more than a call
 to autoreconf if we have dh_backup (name proposed by buxy in the same
 thread). dh_backup can be integrated to debhelper and all that remains to
 be done is a call to autoreconf (depending on the implementation of
 dh_backup).
A backup and restore approach is a completely different and more
complicated (in I/O sense) way than just deleting the files; e.g.
for a single file:

  dh_backup:
   1. mkdir()  - Create the backup directory
   2. read()   - Read the original source
   3. write()  - Write the backup file
   4. rename() - Rename backup to source

  dh_autoreconf:
   1. read()   - Create md5sum before (unneeded if --mode=timesize)
   2. read()   - Create md5sum after (unneded if --mode=timesize)
   3. unlink() - Unlink the changed file

Furthermore, the second read() in dh_autoreconf could also be in
the cache already.

 dh-autoreconf provides a debhelper sequence addon named 'autoreconf' and two

 The dh_autoreconf command creates a list of the files and their checksums,
 calls autoreconf and then creates a second list for the new files.
 .
 The dh_autoreconf_clean command compares these two lists and removes all
 files which have been added or changed (files may be excluded if needed).

I am using this inside the gnome-main-menu package and it works perfectly,
although a bit slow because it creates md5sums of the whole source tree
two times (I may add an option to use timestamp+size instead for larger
source packages).

 error(Multiple versions of $program requested ($version, $1)) if

 $version=$1;

 }
 close CONTROL;
 return $version eq  ? $program : $program.-.$version;

 $ENV{AUTOCONF} = program(autoconf) if not defined $ENV{AUTOCONF};

   sessioninstaller makes use of PackageKit's DBus information to allow
   distribution neutral software management hooks for upstream software on
   APT based systems without loosing the interactiveness.
 
 A better description would be:
 
 Sessioninstaller allows applications to easily install additional
 software (e.g. extensions or GSreamer codecs) by calling a simple
 distribution neutral D-Bus interface.
 
 The confirmation, error reporting and progress notification of the
 installation is handled by sessioninstaller. Currently it comes only
 with a GTK based user interface.
Shouldn't this by 'only comes' instead of 'comes only'?

 
 The D-Bus interface is developed under the PackageKit umbrella and is
 available on the session bus. The reference implementation can be
 found in gnome-packagekit. It was also adpoted by KPackageKit.
 
 In contrast to gnome-packagekit and KPackageKit it doesn't use the
 PackageKit daemon for querying and installation, but instead makes
 use of APT and aptdaemon directly (alternatively synaptic can be
 used).

Thanks! The description I added was copied from the one found I found
in an old bzr revision. Send me a message when you have something
uploadable (for experimental or unstable).

BTW, if I build nautilus with PackageKit support nothing happens
when I click the search button for an unknown filetype. Isn't this
one of the areas which sessioninstaller should cover?

 Could you please upload to experimental at first? I plan to work and

My idea is uploading to unstable with an information that the API
should not be considered stable.

 
 Furthermore I will release sessioninstaller in the next week. It is an
 implementation of the PackageKit session D-Bus API which allows third

 handlers or GStreamer extensions. Sessioninstaller currently makes use
 of aptdaemon for the installation, but a Synaptic backend is just a
 few lines away.
Sounds interesting.

  Description : APT based installer using PackgeKit's session DBus API
 sessioninstaller makes use of PackageKit's DBus information to allow
 distribution neutral software management hooks for upstream software on
 APT based systems without loosing the interactiveness.

Again, I am not subscribed to debian-devel, so please include me and/or

Bug#558692: ITP: software-center -- Utility for browsing, installing, and removing applications (Ubuntu Software Center)

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* URL : https://launchpad.net/software-center
* License : GPL-3+
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Utility for browsing, installing, and removing applications 
(Ubuntu Software Center)

 The Ubuntu Software Center lets you browse and install thousands of 
 free applications available for Ubuntu. You can view available 
 applications by category, or search quickly by name or description. 
 You can also examine the applications already installed, and remove
 those you no longer need.
 .
 To install or remove software using the Center, you need administrator
 access on the computer.

I am branching off software-center trunk (UNRELEASED 1.1); and plan to
upload it to unstable tomorrow. It will continue some strings from Ubuntu,
this will be fixed later on.

I plan to add a gnome-app-install transitional package depending on
gnome-codec-install and software-center; as they together provide
the same functionality. After it gets accepted, I would request the
removal of gnome-app-install.

PS. I am not subscribed to debian-devel, so people reading this there
should CC me and/or the bug report.

Bug#558690: ITP: aptdaemon -- transaction based package management service

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Julian Andres Klode j...@debian.org

* Package name: aptdaemon
  Version : 0.10
  Upstream Author : Sebastian Heinlein de...@glatzor.de,
Michael Vogt m...@ubuntu.com
* URL : https://launchpad.net/aptdaemon
* License : GPL-2+
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : transaction based package management service

 Aptdaemon allows normal users to perform package management tasks, e.g. 
 refreshing the cache, upgrading the system, installing or removing software 
 packages.
 .
 Currently it comes with the following main features:
 .
  - Programming language independent D-Bus interface, which allows to
write clients in several languages
  - Runs only if required (D-Bus activation)
  - Fine grained privilege management using PolicyKit, e.g. allowing all
desktop user to query for updates without entering a password
  - Support for media changes during installation from DVD/CDROM
  - Support for debconf (Debian's package configuration system)
  - Support for attaching a terminal to the underlying dpkg call

The package itself is based on the Ubuntu one, with some changes:
  - Converted the package to 3.0 (quilt) source format
  - Converted the package from cdbs to debhelper 7
  - Converted debian/copyright to DEP-5 format
  - Rebased against current trunk of aptdaemon

Sebastian, could we get a 0.11 release tomorrow; with the state
of the current trunk and the attached patch for Python 2.5
support? This would be helpful; as I would like to upload
the package tomorrow.

 Package: wnpp
 Severity: normal
 
 I haven't actively used this package in a great while, and bug #533164 looks 
 too complicated for me to spend time on now.  Upstream has been issuing 
 development snapshots once in a while, but no stable release, so I don't know 
 where this is going.  I think the package is still useful, although now with 
 yum the pressure to set up apt on rpm-based systems is decreased.

I think it might be better to remove apt-rpm completely. APT-RPM gained
support for the repomd format, and thus there should be no need at all to
maintain those old-style apt-rpm specific repositories.

It also duplicates a lot of code from apt, and is based on a really old
apt version, thus probably inheriting a lot of security issues.

 Over time, a computer system tends to get cluttered. For example,
 software packages that are no longer needed can be uninstalled.
 When the system is upgraded from release to release, it may miss

removed (as it looks a bit wrong on Debian).

 Do we really need another tool like this?
 
 We already have these packages:
 
   fdupes
   perforate
AFAIK, they do not replace files, they just find them.
 
 Plus a host of tools that do backups, datapacker that packs things onto
 DVDs, and the like, using hard links.
hardlink can be used to link files in multiple backup trees,
and also features options to maximize/minimize the link count,
and much more.

Imagine you have two backups, each on a different filesystem. Now you
want to have them both on one filesystem. In this situation, you can use
hardlink to link all common files in the backups together.

Bug#418613: ITP: command-not-found -- suggest installation packages in interactive sessions

On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 04:36:45PM +0200, Daniel Baumann wrote:
 Hi,
 
 again.. what was the reject reason and could you please try again
 getting a (probably fixed) package in?
The reason was that ftp-master did not like that I split out
command-not-found-data into a seperate source package (it's
very small), in order to make life easier for downstream (e.g.
Ubuntu [which is also more or less software upstream]).

Ubuntu's version of command-not-found includes lists of files
creating by scanning a mirror. My version currently reads
the Contents-*.gz files (because I have no complete mirror). One
of the main disadvantages is that it can't support alternatives.
- Both are done prior to building the source package (i.e. manually by
  the maintainer)

Proposed plan:
 - Rebase everything on latest Ubuntu release
 - Remove command-not-found-data and provide an update command
   to fetch information from Contents-ARCH.gz
 - Add a cron job || run after apt-get/aptitude update

This has the following effect:
 - There will be only one package (in terms of source and binary)
 - The installation may not work on the first run
 - We will have command-not-found in Debian
 - In contrast to Ubuntu, we have no support for alternatives
   = But the package could ship a list of known alternatives,
  which would be merged by the update script.
 
 Regards,
 Daniel

Bug#502121: ITP: sreadahead -- Super Read Ahead

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Julian Andres Klode [EMAIL PROTECTED]


* Package name: sreadahead
  Version : 0.02
  Upstream Author : Arjan van de Ven [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://www.moblin.org/projects/fast-boot
* License : GPL-2
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Super Read Ahead

sReadahead is based on Fedora Readahead, but is modified to take 
advantage of the kernel's new list of blocks read.
.
It allows the user to specify a set of files to be read into the page 
cache to accelerate first time loading of programs, typically during the boot
sequence.

This is just a basic ITP. Real work starts later.

 Are you still working on this?
 If yes, do you have a repo?
I did not even start working, except for looking at the code. I will start
working on it after the release of lenny. Why do you ask?

 Uh, no, that's not a good long description. You need to describe the
 package for the potential user.
The description is not for the package itself, its just a description for this
ITP. (therefore packaging will be almost the same.) The full long description
will be the same as gimmie + the reasons that led to the fork.

I attached a diff with a few improvements and a man page.

Also update the timestamp in the next upload.

 It also removes obsolete files on the ftp server and creates/removes folders.

 Maybe I will change the name to something more unique, as there are a 
 lot of programs called ftpsync.

 Code is already available and working. See the launchpad site for the 
 bzr branch.

 Short usage instruction:
  - Enter the folder where you saved your site
  - Run ftpsync init and answer the questions
  - Run ftpsync ci to upload the files to the server

[Julian Andres Klode]

retitle 325885 ITP: readahead-list -- read files into the page cache
thanks

readahead is not developed anymore, instead readahead-list is used.
So I will package readahead-list.

 That is a link to the Ubuntu package. It's not a native package, so
 Ubuntu got the upstream source from somewhere. You should ask the Ubuntu
 maintainer(s) responsible for this package, and/or the upstream author,
 where the upstream source can be downloaded from. If it only exists in
 the Ubuntu repository, Ubuntu should make it a native package, but that
 seems undesirable to me.
 

It seems to be only in Ubuntu, on the previous upstream location I get:
Please download ndisgtk through synaptic or using 'sudo apt-get install 
ndisgtk'.

My Steps now are:
1. recreate orig.tar.gz without debian/
2. update the things in debian/
3. Add patch(es)

In the early days, aufs was entirely re-designed and re-implemented

improvements and implementations, it becomes totally different from
Unionfs while keeping the basic features.

Bug#419142: ITP: dcdmake - Another debian cd maker tool

[Julian Andres Klode]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

  Package name : dcdmake
  Version : 0.9.2
  Upstream Author : Julian Andres Klode [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  URL : https://launchpad.net/dcdmake
  License : GPL
  Programming Language: Bash
  Description : Tool to create (unofficial) debian cds

dcdmake is a new tool to easily create Debian CD Images. Although
not as feature-rich as debian-cd, it can build a installable Debian CD.
It is written in bash and uses apt-get to build package lists.
It is almost fully configurable via one file (it needs some data from
debian-cd at the moment)

I am the developer of this program and use it to build the CD images for
the upcoming JAK LINUX Distribution  (A Debian based Distribution on one
CD with a few non-free things).

In the current tree, I switched to CDBS and made the package
arch-independent (There will be more changes soon)

Downloads:
http://jak-linux.org/jak-linux/pool/main/d/dcdmake/dcdmake_0.9.2_i386.deb
http://jak-linux.org/jak-linux/pool/main/d/dcdmake/dcdmake_0.9.2.tar.gz
http://jak-linux.org/jak-linux/pool/main/d/dcdmake/dcdmake_0.9.2.dsc

This project is located at launchpad.net: https://launchpad.net/dcdmake

Bzr tree is available at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~juliank/dcdmake/main

I would like to maintain this package for Debian, although I am not a DD.
