Bug#590180: Getting Sigil into Debian
noowner 590180 retitle 590180 RFP: sigil -- A WYSIWYG ebook editor thanks This ITP is now more than two years old and we haven't heard from the owner in more than year despite a few pings. And I (and other people as well, I'm sure!) still really want Sigil in Debian. :) Both Don Armstrong and the Kan-Ru (the owner) have suggested setting up a shared repository. But really, *somebody* should make a stab at a package. Since a few people have expressed interest in helping, this seems like a great candidate for collaborative maintaince so that anybody that wants to or can join to help. I'd encourage whoever runs with this to create an Alioth project or something and run with it. I'm tried to mark this bug accordingly because I think the ITP/owner is scaring interested folks away from trying. Thanks to Kan-Ru, Don, Mathieu, and everyone else who has spent time on this already. I'm really looking forward to having Sigil in Debian!

Bug#504058: Zotero Update
retitle 504058 RFP: zotero -- program to collect, manage and cite bibliographic information thanks Thanks Andreas for kicking me. :) I'm not likely to get around to packaging soon this so I hope somebody else can take this over. The package is not trivial and I have no done a xulrunner package before. I thought this going to be trivial and haven't found the time to address it. It may in fact be trivial for someone familiar with packaging xulrunner applications. And just to be clear: xul-ext-zotero is already in Debian but this is a different package. The suggestion here is for the standalone version of Debian (i.e., "Zotero Standalone"). Since they are built from what is essentially the same source and have most of the same dependencies, I think we should probably build both pieces of software from the same source package. In that sense, I think my first preference would be for Theodore Lytras (who already maintains xul-ext-zotero) to take this on. At the very least, whoever *does* take this on should coordinate with Theodore. Thanks to everyone for your patience! I hope that stepping aside means we see a Zotero standalone client in Debian quickly!

I'm pretty sure that the changes to the website make it clear that the website terms of use and the trademark license are not additional copyright terms. I also think that the current text describing the trademark license make it clear that re-packaging is fine while using the marks (it says as much) so I don't forsee that this will be a problem getting things into Debian. Of course, folks should know that changes to the license were done in order to help Scratch into Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. If there happen to be any lingering concerns, we can probably work with the Scratch team to get them address.

Bug#504058: Packaging Zotero in Debian
retitle 504058 ITP: zotero -- program to collect, manage and cite bibliographic information thanks The conversation on this bug seemed to end two years ago with no consensus on what to do. Some people suggested that it would be useful to have the Zotero extension packaged in Debian. Others disagreed basically because they don't think FireFox/IceWeasel extensions should be packaged in Debian at all. In any case, recent upstream developments with Zotero change the situation. The next version of Zotero is being developed as a standalone application. As a result, this version of Zotero certainly should be packaged in Debian. I am a maintainer and very heavy Zotero user and I am happy to do it. There is currently an "alpha" version as Zotero Standalone. I'm going to create packages for Zotero standalone and I'll follow up with a link to them here. Probably when upstream releases a "beta", I will upload those packages into Debian. I probably won't upload them before.

Bug#601300: O: pwsafe -- command line encrypted password database manager
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the pwsafe package. The program is quite old, has been updated since 2005 (!), probably has lingering licensing issues around openssl and the GPL, may even have lingering security issues around the openssl debacle from a few years back (I've not been able to figure out clearly either way). These are important issues but are not ones I have the time or inclination to fix right now. If this package will stay in Debian, it should have a maintainer who will. Ultimately, I no longer use pwsafe (there are several other more featureful programs in Debian that I do use) and I cannot take the time to give this package the attention it deserves. If someone else uses the package and wants to adopt it, please contact me after changing this bug to an ITA and I will send you some private email that will might useful for a new maintainer about a couple unresolved issues which might not be fully reflected in BTS. Otherwise, I'll recommended that this package be removed from the archive at some point in the future. The package description is: pwsafe is a unix commandline program that manages encrypted password databases. . Features: - Pure command-line operation if desired (good for remote access over ssh) - or can interact with X11 selection & clipboard. - Portable, endianess-clean, misaligned-access-free C++. - Compatible with CounterPane's PasswordSafe Win32 program versions 2.x and 1.x.

I understand that email is the name of the upstream client but I'd like to urge you to reconsider keeping this name while the program is in Debian. In fact, I'd like to urge to consider contacting the upstream author to have them change the name upstream as well. In addition to being totally unoriginal, the name is hopelessly generic and, as a result, quite confusing. It's unclear whether we are talking about email, the client, or email, the larger concept. This isn't the first time this has come up. You should review previous discussions on the subject[1] in the archives. On a related note, it makes reading the upstream homepage mind numbing. The page is peppered with link text like "Download Email", and "Home of Email" that are confusing at best. Does "Email Man Page" email the man page or is it the man page for email -- and it's about how to use email the client, not email in general right? If you want to email the authors, you click on one of the two links *without* the word "email" in the title.

> > This is needed by the Hurd port to replace the kernel based /dev/random > > Actually, we will have a kernel based random device in oskit, it is critical > to get good random. And a translator for /dev/random that can take > randomness from various sources, including egd, so it's still useful. > > Just to clear up the "replace". Thanks for packaging this. Did someone say they were going to take this? Looking at the bug it seems to still be an open RFP and I'm don't see anyone claiming responsibility. I'd be willing to take it on if I'm not stepping on anyone's feet to do so. Can I retitle the bug to ITP w/o doing so? Thanks. -- Mako Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~mako/ pgpoRgXpKgw21.pgp Description: PGP signature
Bug#113118: ITP: srm -- a secure replacement for rm(1)
> How does it differ from `wipe'? How about secure delete? It, AFAIK, is NOT packaged. The freshmeat page is here: http://freshmeat.net/projects/securedelete/ It also has a file called srm with the same functionality and it also has smem, sfill, and sswap tools (with predictabe funcationality). I could not find a license in my quick one through. It's slow but I've used it and been pretty happy with it so far. It's pretty crazy and the readme claims it does: 1x overwrite with 0xff 5x random passes 28x overwriting with special values to make the recovery from MFM and RLL encoded harddisks hard/impossible - see Gutmann's paper on that which is also included. 5x random passes I've considered packaging this several times and may want to get around to it eventually. -- Mako Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~mako/
Bug#109254: ITA: mpg123 -- MPEG layer 1/2/3 audio player

Looking at the buglist (and rereading the license stuff) I'm not sure I'd be able to sink too much of my time into a non-free package where bug-fixing is restricted in such a way, especially when there are free alternatives I could be working on instead. I've emailed Michael Hipp (upstream) about some license/packaging issues and, in all likelihood, I'll re-orphan this package when I hear back from him. I'm sorry about this, I really should have taken care of this before I posted the ITA. :( -- Mako Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~mako/

Re: Processed: ITA for aspell & Co.
> ehm... i was very interested in pspell and aspell maintainment (you can see > my last NMUs) but i had not bug numbers to issue formal requests (as you > can see in my previous post on debian-private) Sorry, I didn't think to look for an ITA on -private so I didn't check there first. I didn't mean to step on your toes so if you got their first I'll gladly step aside. It would have been fun.. :( Good luck though. -- Mako Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~mako/
