Bug#988298: ITP: fidi -- (φίδι) service mock system for testing infrastructure
Package: wnpp Owner: Manoj Srivastava Severity: wishlist * Package name: fidi Version : 1.0.1 Upstream Author : Manoj Srivastava * URL or Web page : https://github.com/google/fidi * License : Apache-2.0 Description : (φίδι) service mock system for testing infrastructure The goal of φίδι (fidi) is to model some aspects of arbitrarily complex services, and simulate the behaviour of the service business logic (without actually containing any real business logic or complexity) in presence of external stimuli. Each instance of the φίδι (fidi) application can mock a node in the complex, client serfver service that it is mocking. Different instances of φίδι (fidi) talk to other instanceds of themselves, like a snake (φίδι) eating its tail. φίδι (fidi) also simulates fault injection symptoms, which allows the simulation of normal behaviour as well as incidents and recovery. The motivation is to test the behaviour of the infrastructure, monitoring, alerting and logging systems, while mocking an actual service.

Bug#483642: O: psgml -- An Emacs major mode for editing SGML documents.
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the psgml package. I also do not think this package is needed; but I am not asking for removal on the off chance someone really likes this package. Upstream development has stopped (last upload in 2005), and the uthor has moved to nxml-mode, which is standard in modern emacsen, and which supersedes this package. Unless there is trong demand, I suggest the QA group as for its removal. manoj The package description is: PSGML is a major mode for the editor Emacs used for editing SGML documents. It contains a simple SGML parser and can work with any DTD. (The most popular nowadays are the HTML DTDs. This package turns your emacs into the one of most powerful HTML editors and will be ultimately flexible as well, since you could upgrade your editor by just installing new DTDs). Functions provided includes menus and commands for inserting tags with only the contextually valid tags, identification of structural errors, editing of attribute values in a separate window with information about types and defaults, and structure based editing. . Since psgml parses the DTD to allow you to edit SGML documents, you do need to have the DTDs installed in order to use psgml. Since psgml installs itself as an HTML mode in Emacs, it depends on sgml-data. Some other packages which also provide SGML DTDs are suggested, like debiandoc-sgml and linuxdoc-sgml. . SGML, a language for encoding the structure of a document, is an ISO standard: ISO 8879:1986 Information processing - Text and office systems - Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). .

I would be most annoyed if baz would have been replaced by bzr on my systems if the sysadmin dude did not notice the change. Well, the issue at hand is that the upstream authors of Bazaar 1.x have renamed it to baz, and given away their name to some other project (bzr). Sooner or latter the packages will have to reflect *that*. Oh, certainly. Renaming a package, and providing an upgrade path, are simple procedures we have tonnes of examples of, and should be relatively straight forward to implement. So, in lenny, the name can change from bazaar to baz; leaving the package name bazaar vacant in lenny + 1. The fact that bzr now wants the name bazaar can be treated like any other name conflict -- bzr wants a name that is currently used by baz; and the process I outlined above would allow baz to let go of the name; and bzr gain it, in time for lenny + 1. Prior to that, I don't think there is a sane way for bzr to take over the name currently used by baz -- but I am willing to listen to any working transition plan. manoj -- We learn from history that we learn nothing from history.

On Thu, 22 Mar 2007 16:11:10 +0100, Philipp Matthias Hahn [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Hello! I've put some work into creating a first version of a Debian package of audit-1.5.1 for private use, which you can get from http://pint.pmhahn.de/pmhahn/debian/etch/a/audit/ Perhaps you can take a look at it and provide some feedback to get it into shape for official upload to Debian. One major chanhe compared to the Red-Hat package is, that all binaries live under /usr/sbin and not under /sbin. If auditing is required to start as early as possible, than I might have to move it from /usr to /. Any comments on this issue? I would prefer you do move it back to /sbin. A number of SELinux tools are moving to depend on audit, and some of these do require them to be functional before the other file systems are mounted.

Bug#364609: O: Gnus -- A versatile News and mailing list reader for Emacsen.
Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi, After seven and a half years of maintaining Gnus, I am having to give away the package, on what I consider is a matter of principle. My upload removing non-DFSG bits was rejected, on the grounds that the upload renamed the source package name (the binary package name remains Gnus). I find myself unable to comply with calling the source package Gnus, even though we remove all documentation from the package, and pretending it is just a newer upstream version, since that implies to people looking at the list of sources that this is perhaps unreleased upstream source package -- even though upstream is vehemently opposed to this course of action. The package in Debian is currently tracking the development No Gnus version. It is imperative that the version tracked not be reverted to the versions shipping in the next release of Emacs, since downgrading from NO *SHALL CAUSE INFORMATION LOSS*. Additionally, as packaged, Gnus does not use _any_ helper packages, so unless effort is spent with the build mechanism, or if the next maintainer prefers to use helper packages, then this has to be packaged from scratch. Gnus is different from most elisp packages in that it also provides pixmaps for the toolbar, and also images for smilies, so special care has to be taken when creating the package. This is most definitely not your run of the mill emacs package. Also, since we track the development branch, the maintainer would have to be on the devel list, and has to exercise judgement about which development release is bug-free enough to include into Sid. It is a bit of a wrench to give up this package, since I have been the mainsiner since Micheal Dorman packaged it (and never uploaded another version), but Gnus has non-free materiel, and therefore needs a new upload _now_. I feel uncomfortable acceding to practices I consider unethical, and I lack the motivation to fight the ftp masters and the project on this issue.

Bug#364609: O: Gnus -- A versatile News and mailing list reader for Emacsen.
Package gnus, version x.y-z.dfsg. That way its clearly marked that gnus is modified to be dfsg free, and you dont change any source/package name. A lot of other packages in Debian already go this way, I dont see why gnus can't do it. In Debian, source package components have precise meaning. The package name is Gnus, and the version you are referring to is the upstream version. In case you are not aware, that implies that this is a source package for an upstream release versioned x.y-z.dfsg -- which in turn implies that the upstream author has created a DFSG free version, perhaps unreleased, for Debian. I think pretending with a fake upstream version that this is the same Gnus upstream packages is misleading at best, and deceptive at worst. The reason binary package is not changed is that the binary package is indeed unchanged -- whether or not the sources had dfsg docs or not, the Gnus binary package would be the same. It is perfectly legitimate to split up p[acakegs into foo and foo-doc, in case the user only wants to install docs on one of the 8 machines she may have in her office. Also, other people doing what I consider unethical is not really much of a motivating factor for me to follow the same unethical practice. I might not be haranguing other folks, since there ethos may well differ from mine, but I am not alone in considering fake upstream versions to imply that there is a dfsgf free upstream version of the package as deceptive. Ad why is this being rejected, you may ask? On IRC, the ftp master agreed that the only reason is that a one line edit is required in the override file; end sers are not impacted, since gnus and gnus-doc are available to them, and the only ones who work with sources with apt-get source gnus would be, since they see the different dir thepackage unpacks into. Not a major impact there either. And it is not as if there is no precedence for foo-dfsg packages -- mysql-dfsg, polgen-dfsg, make-dfsg all come to mind. So, an inconsistent policy, all to avoid a single line edit in overrides (or so it has been communicated to me). manoj -- Being popular is important. Otherwise people might not like you.

That way its clearly marked that gnus is modified to be dfsg free, and you dont change any source/package name. A lot of other packages in Debian already go this way, I dont see why gnus can't do it. In Debian, source package components have precise meaning. The package name is Gnus, and the version you are referring to is the upstream version. I must excuse for this mail. I really thought you were just removing stuff. I would not have imagine that it is a full fork, with changed build system and other changes to the original source directory. That is of course nothing to name it the same. Well, I think it is important for people to be able to build make/gnus which is the same as supplied by upstream, without Debian specific patches. If I change the orig file in a manner which breaks the build system, I think it is imperative for me to fix it so people can still compile the non-debian-patched versions of the software. I assume that the users, and the rest of the free software community, are full partners, and could help in improving the software, and if they talk to upstream, itwould be good to be able to distinguish if the bug occurs in unpatched upstream make, or just in the debian patched one. I think anyone who ships a changed .orig file which no longer builds (if the unchanged .orig file did build) is shipping a suboptimal, and even buggy, source package. FTBS used to apply to things not building on the user machine, not just buildd's. This is a quality of implementation issue. But as said on irc, I find it highly confusing to name a fork -dfsg in the context of Debian, where people got used to get a -dfsg suffix (though not in the context of source names but versions), if it is still the upstream stuff with only things removed. I was gonna call it -free and -non-free, but was dissuaded from doing so by people on IRC, who suggested -dfsg and -non-dfsg. I do not understand why you do a full fork, but I agree it should be named differntly then. I hope I have explained well enough above. manoj -- People think love is an emotion. Love is good sense.

Bug#203912: ITP: liblog-log4perl-perl -- A Perl port of the widely popular log4j logging package.
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: liblog-log4perl-perl Version : 0.36 Upstream Author : Mike Schilli [EMAIL PROTECTED] and Kevin Goess [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL or Web page : http://log4perl.sourceforge.net/ * License : GPL 1 or later, or Artistic, same terms as perl Description : A Perl port of the widely popular log4j logging package. Log::Log4perl is a pure Perl port of the widely popular Apache/Jakarta log4j library for Java. In the spirit of log4j, Log::Log4perl addresses the shortcomings of typical ad-hoc or homegrown logging systems by providing three mechanisms to control the amount of data being logged and where it ends up at: * Levels allow you to specify the priority of log messages. Low-priority messages are suppressed when the system's setting allows for only higher-priority messages. * Categories define which parts of the system you want to enable logging in. Category inheritance allows you to elegantly reuse and override previously defined settings of different parts in the category hierarchy. So, at a central location in your system (either in a configuration file or in the startup code) you may specify which components (classes,functions) of your system should generate logs. * Appenders allow you to choose which output devices the log data is being written to, once it clears the previously listed hurdles. .
