I assume the Subversion repository has still not been created. If
needed, I can host one temporarily, and then provide a dump when you all
want to switch.

That would be great!
Agreed. I think we have waited long enough for the Alioth repo. We 
should get started with something. Thanks!

We restructed the repo a bit. You can get the dump from:

Have you heard back from the Alioth admins yet?
no :(

Any more luck?
The project is up, the list is up, but we are still waiting for Alioth 
admins to create the subversion repo. I hope someone has time over the 
weekend to do this, but its only a hope. I have no idea when/if they 
will have time.

I saw that some time ago you filed an ITP for estraier, so I'd like to know
if you still intend to package it.
Thank you for your attention
Yes, I still intend to package it.

Bug#295331: maintenance of fetchmail package

2005-02-20 Thread Lucas Wall
I've been talking to Nico and Goswin and we would like to get started. 
We don't want to steal more of your time.

If its ok with you we would like to create a project in Alioth and 
coordinates our efforts there. What we would need is a dump of the 
current repository to be able to preserve the history of changes.

We should also rename the O bug. In fact I will do this now, since it 
doesn't hurt.

I'll wait for your confirmation before proceeding with the Alioth 
project thou.

Bug#295331: O: fetchmail

2005-02-15 Thread Lucas Wall
On 02/15/05 03:56, Graham Wilson wrote:
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I haven't been able to take good care of the fetchmail package, and
therefore I'm orphaning it.
I'd like whoever adopts it to be able to spend a good amount of time
with the package. Upstream has been slow lately, and the adopter would
likely end up working with upstream. Whoever adopts the package should
be very familiar with C and Bourne shell scripting.
I'd also ideally like to find someone who uses the system-wide fetchmail
setup, since I was never able to test that very well.
Fetchmail is a central part of my mail system. I use it system wide to 
harvest mail from several acounts for me and my wife.

Whatever is needed (maintain, co-maintain, sponsor) please count with my 
help.

Co-maintain is fine for me. Do you have an alioth project? or just an 
independent repo?

It also seems that only one of the people interested is a developer. I'd
be happy to sponsor uploads if needed.
Perfect. If we co-maintain sponsor uploads won't be generally needed, 
but its good to know you have time to sponsor in case I'm not around.

An independent repository. I suggest everyone who is interested to
subscribe to the fetchmail mailing lists at Berlios [1] and at CCIL [2].
I'll ask the other current project admins if I can create a list just
for Debian packaging.
Perfect. A mailing list would be very useful to collect bug reports and 
discuss packaging issues. Its much simpler than CCing. Any mailing list 
will do, if you can't create one there we can set up a project in Alioth.

Since upstream work is going slow, ideally everybody who is interested
would eventually help participate upstream.
Fine.
It also seems that only one of the people interested is a developer. I'd
be happy to sponsor uploads if needed.
Perfect. If we co-maintain sponsor uploads won't be generally needed, 
but its good to know you have time to sponsor in case I'm not around.

Yes, I'd be glad for you to do uploads normally, and for me just to
serve as backup.
Perfect. Then we should just wait to see what Nico and Goswin feel about 
all this.

Bug#254244: RFP: daimonin -- online multiplayer role playing game

2005-02-13 Thread Lucas Wall
package wnpp
retitle 254244 RFP: daimonin -- online multiplayer role playing game
noowner 254244
thanks
I won't be attempting to package daimonin. Its not a complicate package, 
but has a couple of issues. I have free time, but I don't have a lot of 
it (and I'm not willing to spend that much time on this software).

The issues I found are:
1) Upstream is not very responsive. I got no response from the mail 
listed in their site. The address on the copyright author line bounces 
back. I did not try to web forums though.

2) This program is composed of several parts with mixed licenses. The 
client is main, editor and server contrib and data non-free. This is 
only a first impression, if you will me attempting to package this you 
should inspect the program deeper. I'm not sure what's the status of the 
art for the client.

3) The data package for the sever is, at best, non-free. Its a 
collection of contributions. Upstream seems to have some general 
guidelines for the license of these contributions, but I don't know if 
they force the contributors to accept these guidelines.

4) Its a mixture of languages/scripts: C++, Python and Java.

Bug#269112: ITA: pose -- PalmOS Emulator

2004-08-30 Thread Lucas Wall

Package: wnpp

[I'm not sure if this should be an ITA. What's the correct title when a 
package has been removed from unstable, but has bugs pending and is 
still in stable?]


The package description of pose is:
 An emulator for Palm Computing organizers. Requires a ROM file, which 
can be transferred from a physical Palm device, or downloaded from 
palm's website (if you sign a license agreement).



	POSE is still useful. The alternative is Palm's simulator, but there is 
no Linux version and its proprietary software.


	After applying some patches I made it compile with gcc 3.3 and 
libfltk1.1. This should cover the pending, and most important, issues 
with this package.


	Upstream is dead, regarding this package, but the community has been 
working and producing patches for POSE. I understand that working with 
dead upstream packages can be a problem, but since I use this program 
a lot I am willing to take its role, as far as Debian is concerned, and 
try to solve any future issue that might pop up.

Bug#269122: ITP: pose-skins -- Skins for the PalmOS Emulator

2004-08-30 Thread Lucas Wall

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Description:
Skins for the PalmOS Emulator. A generic skin is included in the pose 
package; use the skins in this package to make the emulator look like a 
specific device.


	This package was part of Debian but was removed (along with pose). 
Since I will be working to get pose back into Debian[1] I need to get 
this package back into Debian also.
