Hi

There are two license inompatibilities:
(A)GPL-3 and BSD-4-Clause-UC are incompatible (yes, I saw the comment,
but this makes the license either a custom one or possibly a
BSD-3-Clause)
GPL-2 and AGPL-3 are incompatible

AGPL is not suitable for non-network code, so at least debian/* should
get something else.

Your lintian overrides don't match what ftp-master still expects, see
all the errors.

The polkit maintainer just asked to reject new packages for shipping
legacy polkit pkla files.  So please remove the stuff from
/var/lib/polkit-1 and convert to the new-style rules.

Please drop all autoconf/automake generated and vendored files.  We've
just seen what this produces as problems.

There is vendored code, but also a dependency on the same library
(libasio-dev).

Some other remarks:
- Please use dh_installtmpfiles (rename debian/openvpn3-client.conf to
  .tmpfiles I think), enabled in debhelper compat 13
- You could use debhelper compat 14 directly and avoid some of the
  overrides in debian/rules, as it calls dh_installsysusers
- Preemptive architecture limits are not the way to go, please remove
  this list
- It contains DSA keys in /etc/openvpn3/awscerts, which a current crypto
  policy should not really accept
- There seems to be two distinct was to start it,
  openvpn3-autoload.service and openvpn3-session@.service, is this
  necessary?
- /var is not really for user config, but for state.
- Is /var/lib/openvpn3 supposed to be in the package or created via
  systemd-tmpfiles?  Currently I see both.



===

Please feel free to respond to this email if you don't understand why
your files were rejected, or if you upload new files which address our
concerns.

Bug#904044: OpenVPN3

[Marc Leeman]

OK, I'll pick it up.

There are two repositories, one is the core libraries; the other is the
linux client. The client is compiled by using a git external.

Because of this (git external), I decided package the two repositories
separately: one as a library (lib/dev combo), to use the dev package for
the headers and linking the openvpn3-core statically [1]

The (source) packages are reflecting the upstream git repositories:

1. openvpn3 (library)
2. openvpn3-linux (client)

I need to do some restructuring (from your answer I understand that
/usr/include/openvpn/ as the include path should ot be used).

We're testing it with our company VPN, and it seems to work just fine
(including the 2FA over a web page), the only thing we need to do is to
remove this line from the ovpn files that are generated/provided (error
feedback is not optimal ;-) ).

# OVPN_ACCESS_SERVER_ORGANIZATION=OpenVPN, Inc.

[1] I'd like to get the packages without too much of a patch on the code
and there are some questionable practices like including cpp files.

I don't know if you were planning anything in that direction, but my

Bug#920016: ITP: gst-plugins-rtp -- GStreamer libraries for handling RTP/RTCP streams on the network

[Marc Leeman]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* URL : https://github.com/mleeman/gst-plugins-rtp
* License : LGPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : GStreamer libraries for handling RTP/RTCP streams on the 
network

 GStreamer is a streaming media framework, based on graphs of filters
 which operate on media data.  Applications using this library can do
 anything from real-time sound processing to playing videos, and just
 about anything else media-related.  Its plugin-based architecture means
 that new data types or processing capabilities can be added simply by
 installing new plug-ins.
 .
 GStreamer RTP plugins provide elements that handle RTP streaming to
 and from the network and provide bindings to the rtp:// URI interface.

 (OTOH, speaking generally, it is sad to see a package reborn under
 another name just because the prospective new maintainer cannot
 communicate successfully with the original one to negotiate the
 takeover.  I once again urge you to write to maintain...@gnu.org to
 avoid this unpleasant scenario.)

Don't read to much into this; pth is for sure a smaller effort in
Martins' work. We just want to get over this small hurdle in order to
get his really interesting stuff included (which depends on this).

[Marc Leeman]

 I need pthsem, so I only want a working version with all features I
 need.

All I care about is that there is an agreement between the Debian
community and the upstream developer. Martin is very active in
supporting his environment and in that respect I am to inclined to
support his decision.

Can we conclude that pthsem is a valid branch, worth a seperate package?

An alternative for Martin is probably to include/hide pthsem in bcusdk;
but that would not be as clean IMHO (ffmpeg anyone?)

 Thank you for filing a new Bug report with Debian.

If you want a package; drop me a mail.

We're also working on the dependency on eibd-server (ITP to follow
shortly), so this one will only end up in Debian once we (Martin and I)
have added the eibd-server package.

ATM, you can dl the eibd-server packages from Martin's site.

Bug#429583: ITP: powerpc-dtc -- PowerPC kernel device tree compiler

[Marc Leeman]

There are already source and binary packages for a tool called dtc,
 you will have to rename this. Maybe ppcdtc?

In the logic of the kernel arch, it would better be have powerpc instead
of ppc :) 

I'll rename the package to powerpc-dtc.

I was unable to understand what the software does from its
 description, maybe you could mention what a device tree is, what the
 formats are (raw, flattened/blob), how dtc relates to OF, why the kernel
 needs it (kexec?), etc.

ack. This serves me right for writing up an ITP when my significant other
is summoning me to bed.

Also, have you been in contact with Fredrik Roubert? He seems to have
 done Debian packages before.

Indirectly, he seems to be an extern in our company Barco. As with most
larger companies, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is
doing.

There seems little point now, from what I have found, his diff is more
or less the same as what I've done in parallel.

I am wondering what the status of the gwt package is. I just started

we need the gwt compiler for a number of projects and cannot afford to

It seems a waste to duplicate the effort though.

Bug#324179: quake3/quake3-data packages available

[Marc Leeman]

I've just finished my first version of the quake3 packages. 

I use the debian configuration of Jamie Wilkinson [EMAIL PROTECTED], and
adjusted it (thanks man, you saved me a bunch of work :) ). The structure
of the packages is otherwise the same.
  quake3
  quake3-data

In order not to break possibly official installs, the startup script is
q3a (instead of quake3).

The game can (like the quake2 packages) be run from disk and CDROM. The
game can be played with the official CD available (pk3 files) or with
the demo of the game.

Different wrt the quake2 version is that you need to install the point
release to play the shareware/demo version as the full game, due to a UI
change in the code.

I have some further cleaning up to do, but the packages seem currently
stable enough to be used. One thing I certainly have to check is the
latest versions of the files floating around the net, but the last ones
I seemed to be able to pick up were:
  - linuxq3ademo-1.11-6.x86.gz.sh
  - linuxq3apoint-1.32b-3.x86.run

Future (to be expected this week) improvements will include installation
of Quake3 Team Arena.

If anyone is interested in the packages for testing, using; send me a
mail and I'll pass the URI along where you can download them, I am kind
of hesitant to publish the URI directly (my poor machine ;) )

Since I haven't seen any replies and/or further mails after the initial
ITP from the package maintainer (with the ITP about 24h of id going
GPL), I wonder if the maintainer continued this project, in which case a
reply would be appreciated. If not, ... euhm, what next?

I am currently creating a package for this, mainly because I did some
experimenting a couple of weeks ago with this.

Even though the game content is not available for free (beer, speech),
you can use the game content of a total conversion (e.g. UT) to compose
a working game.

Bug#324179: was package and content

[Marc Leeman]

The package is built and tested. Still need to clean up (build depends
etc).

The data file pkg is not yet done, but I tested by linking the pk3 files
from the official install.

Contact me for the binary package if interested. (or sources of course).

With some delay; but a version of the package can be found on

 Shouldn't the package name be libtk-codetext-perl then?

I never packaged a perl package before, so I have (as yet) no real
insight in the naming conventions used in debian for this.

It's something I needed, there was no package, so converted it, this is
mainly the rationale behind the packaging.

After I submitted the ITP and made a prelimenary package, k3b was

Bug#157719: ITP: ffmpeg -- FFmpeg Streaming Multimedia System

[Marc Leeman]

 A lot of the code in ffmpeg is within the 'libavcodec' subdirectory,
 and this code has been incorporated by several other projects (xine
 and mplayer are all I can think of right now). I know that the libxine
 source, at least on the debian servers, contains a copy of libavcodec.
 Perhaps a dynamic libavcodec library should be built from the ffmpeg
 sources and packages like xine could link against it.

Well, I decided that I could not use the version of Christian because it
was to old, but used his configuration to recompile with a latest
snapshot.

libavcodec and libavformat are now dinamically linked in nvrec (instead
of included in the project). I'll see if there are no recording
problems and if not, report the changes to upstream.

libavformat was not compiled as a shlib in the original sources.

Since Christian is basically maintaining the package, I'll confer with
him about the best approach, I won't branch the package.

ffmpegrec is has been included (next to nuvrec and divx4rec).

The binaries have been moved to all smallcaps and manpages for nuvrec
and divx4rec are added (ffmpegrec will follow soon).

use apt-get install --reinstall nvrec for the time being since I am not
yet certain to keep Justin's numbering format (dates) or modify them as
the debian package gets better

divx4rec works with a bt878 card on a PIII 550 with
divx4rec -h 240 -w 320 -vb 500 -o smp.avi

nuvrec requires less cpu cycles and works too (at a much lower
compression), same I guess for ffmpegrec, but this has not been tested.

Higher quality recordings will require a faster pc :) or using an
intermediate format in combination with transcode.

To my experience, the captures are of better quality on low middle aged
pc's than xawtv (PIII 550)

Bug#148458: ITP: lilo-splash -- lilo with (configurable) debian splash screen

[Marc Leeman]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-05-29
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: lilo-splash
  Depends : lilo
  Version : 0.0.1
  Upstream Author : Raphael Quinet [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://www.gamers.org/~quinet/lilo/

  Description : lilo with (configurable) debian splash screen

The default ASCII LILO boot screen is replaced with a 640x480, 
256 colours (VESA) graphical screen.

Note: I intend to use the work and method from the upstream author as a
basis. I am more interested in scripting the installation. Dunno where,
but I read somewhere that debian _should_ have this as all modern
distribs have it.
Since I reboot my machine once in so many months, it is not going to be
really spent on my machine aestetics ;)

Bug#148469: ITP: nvrec -- NVrec aims to be a high quality, generic capture core

[Marc Leeman]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-05-29
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: nvrec
  Version : n/a
  Upstream Author : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://www.ee.up.ac.za/~justin/v4l2/
* License : GPL
  Description : NVrec aims to be a high quality, generic capture core

  NVrec aims to be a high quality, generic capture core. At the moment
  it supports v4l1 and v4l2 devices as video sources, and oss as an
  audio source. It can output to quicktime (in RTjpeg, YUV2, or RAW
  format), AVI (in DivX format), NuppelVideo format, MPEG-1, and
  streaming multicast/unsicast. 

  NVrec includes deep buffering to minimise frame drops, in high load
  situations, and a smooth framedropping algorithm to keep the video as
  smooth as possible if you do have to drop frames. It also has a
  audio stretcher to make sure that exactly the right amount of audio
  is written to the output file (this compensates for lack of clock
  synch between video and audio cards). 

  NVrec is written in an extremely modular way, to make it easy to
  integrate with existing applications, or add your own output formats.

Bug#148469: ITP: nvrec -- NVrec aims to be a high quality, generic capture core

[Marc Leeman]

 Sounds great, I can't wait to try it!
 If you need someone to test it before release then please put it on a web 
 site and send me the URL.


http://www.esat.kuleuven.ac.be/~mleeman/simple/debian.html

Take notice of the following:

1. I never tested it before (am going to do it when I get home this
evening)
2. I never used the tools, but always intended to do so :)
3. Only some binaries have been compiled, I am going to add more stuff
as I test it
4. The configuration information (man pages, debian info, ...) is
minimal (read not yet existing)

tnx for the testing base ;)

Bug#147303: ITP: winex -- A DESCRIPTION

[Marc Leeman]

The following text summarises (for me) the TransGaming experience (most
probably to their relief). I am going to remove all related packages
and look for some orphaned package to satisfy me tweaking need :)
Thanks to those on debian-devel (and RMS) for making suggestions to the
text.

=

WineX is a branch of the Wine, open source windows emulator software. 
allows running certain windows programs on a GNU/Linux operating 
system, and thus reducing, evading the Microsoft imposed Operating 
System lock-in.

Up until a couple of months ago, Wine (http://www.winehq.com) was
released under the X11 license. Contrary to the more widely spread 
better known GPL, this license allows branching the code, making 
modifications without having to release the modified source and put
restrictions on the distribution of it.

Some months ago, the license of Wine was changed from the X11 license
to the LGPL to avoid these problems, especially since wine is a 
project where a lot of people are working on and are contributing to:
volunteers and people employed by companies like CodeWeavers.

In the wake of this change, which is rumoured to be initiated by 
CodeWeavers, a branch is _again_ made to wine (ReWind) which it's
only intention is to keep the X11 license over the LGPL. Since the
LGPL is the main, contributors to the Wine project have to explicitly
agree that their patches can be included in the ReWind project (and
hence also in TransGaming's WineX).

At this point, I guess, a clear distinction between WineX and ReWind 
has to be made. ReWind is, to a large degree, tailored to be used by
WineX but to this moment, the changes made by TransGaming (also those
based on in spirit LGPL code, but allowed X11) are not brought back
to the Wine tree.
With the creation of ReWind, one can wonder if it ever will, ...

The sources on which WineX is based are put available on sourceforge
by TransGaming under the Alladin license. I guess you need to be 
some barrister to understand all these changes, or start learning.
This license allows using, changing the code, releasing binaries, 
as long as the sources are released again. One of the most important
differences with the GPL variants is that there seems to be no re-
striction on the restricting the license afterwards (which is not 
the case with the GPL).

Recently, a RFP (Request For Package) was put up on the Debian site,
and a developer agreed on maintaining this package. The license as
it is, allows to include it in the non-free archive.

Within hours after posting the ITP (Intent to Package) on the Debian
bug database and on the debian-devel mailing list, a mail from Trans-
Gaming's CEO/CTE Gavriel State was received, which indicates
1. We noticed that you intend to package our AFPLed WineX package 
for release in debian (presumably non-free).  We would really prefer 
that this not happen, for a number of reasons.
2.  We would prefer not to have to change our license to explicitly 
prevent the distribution of binary packages, but if we have to we 
will do so.

There are two things in this mail:
There are claims on the rights on the code, which are valid to some 
degree. The reasons they state are commercial (development = money 
= development) and possible confusion since the release of debian 
binaries based on their public AFP'ed CVS does not provide the full
functionality of the binaries they redistribute (amongst others, they
are not allowed to redistribute proprietary copy protection code 
used by games).
If you do distribute binaries, we will change the license to 
explicitly prohibit you from doing this.

The reaction of TransGaming concerning the binary debian release of 
WineX raises a couple of questions, that should be addressed before 
pursueing the packaging any further.

1. Does the license allow packaging?
Yes, I read through it and you can distribute binaries as long as 
you put the source available in some common format

2. Is the source free?
Well, to some degree, not the 3 RMS criteria, that's for sure

3. Who is the target audience?
I would think people interested in 3D and 3D games and development. 
I think it is pretty obvious that you are not going to satisfy a 
hard-core gamer, since there is no support for copyright protection 
and most of the tweaking is manual (downloading dll's for example).
I see such a package for enthusiasts that want to check the 
state-of-the-art in gaming without having to install windows (I 
recently checked the SoF2 demo with this, even though the game was 
only for about 30' in my HD).
I imagine it is also useful for people working with 3D graphics and 
programming on it (e.g. students develop in win32 and you do not 
want to let them show the demo on your GNU/Linux workstation)..
In both cases, it is handy, but most likely not enough to go for 
the commercial thing (one could do without it).

4. Should it be packaged?
Carefully reading the mail from Gavriel State, I did not see any 
specific objections to packaging it, 

Bug#147303: ITP: winex -- A DESCRIPTION

[Marc Leeman]

 I'd like to register my objection to this package being installed, even
 in non-free. As a Transgaming subscriber and supporter of their work, I
 don't want to see Transgaming's work be diluted, and I imagine that many
 people feel similarly. I urge the prospective maintainer to reconsider.


If I might remark, this attitude is pretty short sighted and is not
consistent with anything what FS/OS stands for.


Immagine someone saying I object to the distribution of debian, because
it distributes GNU/Linux in a binary way and this might dilute and be
confused with the work of Slackware, some years ago.

Or I object to the distribution of OpenOffice, because it emulates the
behaviour and look-and-feel of Microsoft Word, whos work might get
diluted and confused with

Or I object to the distribution of GNU/Linux, *BSD, ... because it is
an Operating System, and this might dilute the work of some company who
is also providing an OS.

(The first one would me more appropriate since both share the same
codebase). Imagine changes made by RH, Debian ppl, ... to GNU software
not to be distributed in other distribs.

You are threading a _very_ thin line there...

I guess this case _clearly_ shows the _need_ and _use_ for the (L)GPL and
what can happen if it is not used...

As far as the package is concerned, though I understand their
objections, I do not feel completely comfortable with it, something
feels wrong.
I withdrew it for the moment and am discussing the situation with a
couple of debian developers.

  http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=17631. This package is compiled

  NVIDIA NVdriver Kernel Module  1.0-2880  Tue Mar 26 08:12:38 PST 2002)
  and was built with winex-compile.sh v0.97.
 E, why?

Because I compile the CVS sources on my machine for testing and did not
have a significant testing base for many other configurations. 
(heard it to work on Voodoo3 too though).

I know I was a bit sloppy filling out the initial request (was going to
update this sometime today).
Anyway, this has become theory now.

We just got a mail from the TransGaming CEO Gavriel State to request the
withdrawal of the ITP.
Without fueling the wine discussions that spawned over the license of
Wine over the last months, the mail was a friendly hammer and anvil
mail ;)

He made a couple of obvious points why and how this debian release would
damage their business and possible confusion, ...
He also mentioned the possibility to change the license to explicitly
forbid the distribution of binaries.

Furthermore, I think we should respect their wishes at this point since,
and I guess you would agree with this, WineX is not one of the top on
the list packages for a typical debian-user.

I admire the Wine/WineX/CrossOver/Lindows/... efforts but am not fully
up to speed with the latest details on the license discussions that
spawned over the last months.

If the policy of TransGaming were to change over time (I believe there
was something as a minimal subscriber base), I will be available to take
up the package again.

  He also mentioned the possibility to change the license to explicitly
  forbid the distribution of binaries.
 
   How can they do that?  Isn't WINE GPL?

Ok, I'm moving onto thin ice here, since I do not know the knitty gritty
of licensing.

Wine used to be a X11 license (I think), which is not that restrictive
on releasing code and linking and compiling with proprietary software.
Under influence of Codeweavers, the license was changed to LGPL. (Though
cheer the decision, I do not really know why).
WineX is still based on the pre-LGPL license and is released on the
Aladin license. I believe that the main issues are that:
1. you can modify the code but you need to make the modification public
again
2. you can release binaries, as long as you release the sources in some
format that is common in programming (I would assume cvs, tar.gz or
somethings of the sorts).

For us, well, we can release the binaries, but as a result, they will
modify the license to prohibit this. I do not think that is disallowed
in the current lincensing scheme.

As a result, packaging it in debian would not be particularly useful for
long.

Ppl an still dl the sources from CVS and compile them, ... The
difference is that the system they compile it on will have to be more
preconfigured and require more programming skills (or at least a basic
knowledge).

I think there was some note to move all the code back in the Wine tree
once they got a 20,000 members subscriber base. 
Under what license this will be, and if they'll ever allow binary
distributions except theirs, your guess will be as good as mine...

It is a pitty, but I don't think much can be done on this...
