Bug#603529: RFP: scala2.8 -- The Scala programming language (version 2.8)

2010-11-14 Thread Ken Bloom
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: scala2.8
  Version : 2.8.1
  Upstream Author : Martin Odersky 
* URL : http://www.scala-lang.org/
* License : BSD-like
  Programming Lang: Java/Scala
  Description : The Scala programming language (version 2.8)

 Scala is a Java-compatible programming language with many
 modern language features.  It is Java-compatible in that
 Scala and Java classes can directly reference each other and
 subclass each other with no glue code needed.  It
 includes modern language features such as closures,
 pattern-matching, parametric types, and virtual type members.
 .
 This package includes the various tools used to develop
 code written in Scala.  It includes a compiler (scalac),
 an interpreter and script runner (scala), the offline
 compiler (fsc), and source-scanning documentation
 generator (scaladoc).

-- END DESCRIPTION --

This is version 2.8 of the Scala programming language. It is different
from Scala 2.7.7 currently in the Debian archive (packaged simply as
"scala"). The extent of the differences is roughly similar to the
differences between Ruby 1.8 vs Ruby 1.9, or the different versions of
python currently in the archive. Therefore, scala 2.8 should be
packaged separately from Scala 2.7 so that both can coexist.

Scala 2.8 is definitely binary-incompatible with Scala 2.7.7 (in fact,
all of the Scala 2.7.x releases were mutually binary-incompatible),
and breaks backward-compatiblity at the source level as well (though
many programs will need few or no changes).
Scala 2.8.x is intended to remain binary-compatible and
source-compatible throughout the lifetime of the 2.8.x series.

Bug#556010: RFH: link-grammar -- Carnegie Mellon University's link grammar parser for English

2009-11-12 Thread Ken Bloom
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I either need help with this package to have a DD who can sponsor
uploads on a regular basis or I'll be forced to put link-grammar up
for adoption, becuase lacking a sponsor I haven't gotten a new version
into the archive in ages. (Despite the fact that I've been keeping it
fairly up to date on git.debian.org.)

The package is maintained in git at
git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/link-grammar.git (browsable at
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/link-grammar.git)

The package description is:
 In Selator, D. and Temperly, D. "Parsing English with a Link Grammar"
 (1991), the authors defined a new formal grammatical system called a
 "link grammar". A sequence of words is in the language of a link
 grammar if there is a way to draw "links" between words in such a way
 that the local requirements of each word are satisfied, the links do
 not cross, and the words form a connected graph. The authors encoded
 English grammar into such a system, and wrote this program to parse
 English using this grammar.
 .
 link-grammar can be used for linguistic parsing for information
 retrieval or extraction from natural language documents. It can also be
 used as a grammar checker.

By all means. Here's a patch that adds support for editing application
associations (the real reason why I want to use assogiate in the first
place.) Take a look at the packaging I've done so far at
http://lingcog.iit.edu/~bloom/assogiate/, maybe you can use other
stuff like the .desktop file that puts assogiate in the gnome control
center.

Bug#434794: ITP: assogiate -- an editor for the GNOME file types database

  Description : an editor for the GNOME file types database

assoGiate is an editor of the file types database for GNOME.  It
allows users to modify the detection and display of file types.

I have patched this version with a component from libeel to allow
users to set the preferred application use to open a document.

I am in need of a sponsor, packages are at
http://lingcog.iit.edu/~bloom/assogiate/ (I've pbuildered them
already, and I'll fix the one last lintian warning as soon as I have a
bug number for this ITP.)

Bug#382568: RFP: classpath-generics -- Experimental Java 5 runtime libraries

2006-08-11 Thread Ken Bloom
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

GNU classpath is a free replacement for Sun's proprietary java class
libraries. classpath-generics is an experimental branch with
support for all the new 1.5 language features such as generics and
enumerations. ECJ, JamVM, IKVM and Cacao are known to support the
generics release.

Bug#350231: libsocket++ license

2006-02-16 Thread Ken Bloom
Please try contacting the upstream and asking him whether he can
change the license to something more standard like BSD, GPL, or LGPL.
It seems from the project news page that they would like their licence
to be interpreted to allow modification
