Bug#531079: RFS: ecm -- prepares CD image files so they compress better
Joachim Reichel wrote: Loic: I'm happy to sponsor this upload if you can get the data loss bug fixed. There might be some small changes to the packaging needed, but I'm confident that these can be easily sorted out. I haven't been able to reproduce this bug once. I tried with raw images smaller than 2GB (1.9GB), between 2 and 4GB, and over 4GB. On raw images smaller than 2GB, everything work fine. On images bigger than 2GB, ecm aborts cleanly with the following error message: Encoding foo.iso to foo.iso.ecm. foo.iso: Value too large for defined data type It doesn't even start creating the .ecm file. Also, in the event you had a crash and the .ecm file didn't finish (it can take a while), the original .iso is never modified - the .ecm file is created as a separate file, so I also don't know where the original data was lost. I've been using ecm on i386 and amd64 without any data loss for a few years now. Although the program should also work on other arch, are you using something different?

Bug#533666: RFP: gens -- Sega Genesis / Sega CD / Sega 32X emulator
As a side note, I've been in touch with gens/gs[0] developer, David Korth (pseudo: GerbilSoft), since I was planning to package it in Debian Games Team. Everything being on hold because of the Starscream situation. Last message from Dave one week ago was that he would see with Neill Corlett and ask him about the licensing issue (after I raised the idea, since Neil has been and is still releasing programs under the GPL). I wasn't able to get in touch with Neil for another matter, so I can't be sure how it will work out. Except for that code, and unlike the original gens, gens/gs doesn't seem to ship the Microsoft copyrighted code, nor any kaillera code (David Korth is planning to add network play in later versions). All new code is GPL-2+ (bear in mind that was not an exhaustive review since I wasn't sure how the Starscream licensing would be resolved). There's still other issues - some C64 code is Copyright Commodore for example. Some is ported from other Gens forks, and that should be ok since they would have inherited the GPL, even when the headers are missing. But some files without headers might prove a bit harder to track. Gens/GSs might be an easier target for license issues considering it's quite active upstream. AFAIR, the fork was due to not having access to gens CVS, and Dave Korth was planning to open a CVS for Gens/GS. Don't know if Debian can provide one though ;) [0] To summarize the project, from David Korth: I've been working on a fork of Gens for the past few months.

The improvements on the Linux side are really interesting, and bring it up-to-par with other megadrive emulators on proprietary OS.

Bug#531450: ITP: gmameui -- front-end for the arcade games emulator MAME
Paul Wise wrote: I note the GPLv2+ is probably not compatible with the MAME non-free license. How does gmameui interact with MAME? Is the way it does that likely to form a derivative work? If so we cannot distribute gmameui. Yes, the MAME license restricts commercial use, and is thus non gpl-compatible. As we've just talked on IRC, gmameui runs mame in a separate process.

How is that compatible with the rest of the code? Clearly the whole library
would not be GPL2+ if there are additional restrictions.
See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SoftwareLicenses,
where the "Independent JPEG Group License" is listed:

I'd like why it would make the whole library not GPL2+ - not that Debian
will ship the binaries of course, but I guess a lot of projects and
manufacturers might need to know that.

It works by eliminating the Error Correction/Detection Codes (ECC/EDC) from each sector whenever possible. The encoder automatically adjusts to different sector types and automatically skips any headers it encounters. Since the data skipped is nearly impossible to compress with traditionnal tools, the resulting ECM file will compress far better than the raw CD image -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
