MythTV itself isn't needed on the local system for this package to operate.
This library will be depended upon in totem and gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad.

Ah great.  I'll get a dev env up on my 64 bit box and see if 64 bit compilation

Bug#481590: Leveraging the Ubuntu package

2008-09-02 Thread Mario Limonciello
Hi David:

Any updates on this?  I've been updating a variety of packages on the
Ubuntu side to use DKMS instead of m-a, so this delta will continue to
grow doubling up the work on our side.  I've since revamped the DKMS
packaging to make it CDBS based.  It's in Ubuntu main now, so you may
not even have too much work to do for this ITP if you are basing off that.

Regards

Bug#570611: [ubuntu-mythtv] Bug#570611: ITP: mythtv -- A personal video recorder application

2010-02-19 Thread Mario Limonciello
Hi Andres:

I appreciate this effort!  If we can really see this to a reality, I'll
gladly help push more of the ubuntu specific things that are making mythtv a
good experience on Ubuntu up to Debian.

I'm a little worried however on using the system ffmpeg.  Upstream frowns
upon this currently, so I think it's best to make sure that the solution
that is developed has their approval / works properly.  Solving the
dlopen'ing of lame may be a better short term goal with upstream.

Andres:

Additionally; i'd recommend you do this for a 0.23 based build.  They're
doing RC next week and targeting release next month, so it would make more
sense to be able to support that (especially since patches on top of /
replacing ffmpeg will change significantly I expect)

Since it's a git server, is it possible to import upstream svn instead?

Bug#588361: Adopting the packaging for Ubuntu perhaps

2010-07-11 Thread Mario Limonciello
 I'd like to throw one more idea out here to help with this RFH.  Is 
there any consideration in adopting the packaging used by Ubuntu?  The 
way the ATI executable is configured, it includes a set of packaging 
scripts for different distros built-in for users to generate native 
packages on the fly without having to wait for them to land in their 
distro.  That same set of packaging is also used in Ubuntu on the 
archive because the same maintainers maintain it on Phorogit (where the 
packaging is stored) as those who put it in the archive.


So this means that say AMD launched an 8.723 driver, and 8.710 is in 
Ubuntu, a user could run:

./ati-blah-blah.run --buildpkg Ubuntu
and it will generate a package that is fully compatible due to using the 
same packaging scripts.



If Debian would be willing to switch the packaging over to doing it this 
way too, we could see
./ati-blah-blah.run --buildpkg Debian generating the same results as 
./ati-blah-blah.run --buildpkg Ubuntu which has the same results as the 
packages directly in Debian unstable and Ubuntu development versions.


So I think that's a win-win for all audiences then rather than both 
developing packaging in parallel.

Bug#793446: ITP: fwupd -- Firmware update daemon

2015-07-23 Thread Mario Limonciello
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mario Limonciello 

* Package name: fwupd
  Version : 0.1.4
  Upstream Author : Richard Hughes 
* URL : https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Firmware update daemon

 fwupd is a daemon to allow session software to update device firmware. 
 You can either use a GUI software manager like GNOME Software to view and 
 apply updates, the command-line tool or the system D-Bus interface directly.
 Currently, firmware updates using the UEFI capsule format and for the 
 ColorHug are supported. More formats may be supported in the future.

Currently Daniel Jared Dominguez and I have been collaborating on packaging
for fwupd located at http://linux.dell.com/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/debian/fwupd.git/

We are discussing assembling a packaging maintenance team for firmware related
packages such as fwupd, fwupdate, efivar, etc.

Upstream has not yet released the 0.1.4 release.  That is the first release that
should be put into Debian.  The 0.1.3 release doesn't yet properly support
UEFI capsules.

Bug#570611: Update

2013-10-09 Thread Mario Limonciello
Hi anyone following,

Just wanted to give you an update on where things are with this packaging.
 I've cleaned up a majority of the stuff I found with it on master, either
upstream, via an override, or in the packaging tree.  There are two lintian
errors I would like to get resolved and then we should push forward on this
again.

E: mythtv-common: package-installs-python-bytecode
usr/share/mythtv/internetcontent/nv_python_libs/vimeo/vimeo_data.pyc
Long story short this was so that the two part API key for vimeo wasn't put
"in the open".  I talked with the author and explained the situation
including that it explicitly didn't work with.  He gave me the source and
i'm going to try to get it pulled into mythtv upstream.  Once it's upstream
this should go away.

E: libmyth-0.28-0: possible-gpl-code-linked-with-openssl
It's possible to build without OpenSSL, and even further more to build some
parts with GNU TLS, but I don't understand the implications yet.  I think
it will break some Airplay streaming stuff.  Once I get confirmation on
that, I wanted to get upstream to just include an exception with their
license for OpenSSL stuff.

Bug#651101: Any updates on this?

2013-03-06 Thread Mario Limonciello
Now that mysqldb doesn't have python 3.x support, there isn't any support
for mysql in python 3.x.  I've read that pymysql actually does have python
3.x support.

Bug#855065: ITP: thunderbolt-software-user-space -- Thunderbolt daemon and userspace tools for thunderbolt NVM flashing

2017-02-13 Thread Mario Limonciello
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mario Limonciello 

* Package name: thunderbolt-software-user-space
  Version : 2017.01.19
  Upstream Author : Intel Thunderbolt Linux Team 
* URL : https://github.com/01org/thunderbolt-software-user-
space.git
* License : BSD
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Thunderbolt daemon and userspace tools for thunderbolt NVM
flashing

This daemon provides support for the Intel Thunderbolt daemon.
It provides support for peer-to-peer networks over Thunderbolt as well as the
ability to flash the Thunderbolt NVM in-band.

It will be used for the Thunderbolt plugin that is part of fwupd.
https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/tree/master/plugins/thunderbolt

I'd like to maintain it as part of the UEFI team that already maintains fwupd,
fwupdate, and the rest of the UEFI tools stack.



Bug#820124: ITP: fwupdate-signed -- Linux Firmware Updater EFI signed binary

2016-04-05 Thread Mario Limonciello
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mario Limonciello 

* Package name: fwupdate-signed
  Version : 1.11
  Upstream Author : Mario Limonciello 
* URL : https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupdate-signed
* License : (GPL-3+)
  Programming Lang: (Python)
  Description : Linux Firmware Updater EFI signed binary

This package will be maintained by debian-efi as a team.  That is the same team
that currently maintains the unsigned version of fwupdate.



Bug#953565: ITP: libjcat -- JSON Catalog library

2020-03-10 Thread Mario Limonciello
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mario Limonciello 

* Package name: libjcat
  Version : 0.1.0
  Upstream Author : Richard Hughes 
* URL : https://github.com/hughsie/libjcat
* License : LGPL 2.1+
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : JSON Catalog library

The libjcat library assembles checksum and metadata into a JSON based catalog.
This is used by other software to validate metadata.

This will be a dependency for fwupd in the future (1.4.0 release or newer).
It will be maintained by the debian-efi team which also maintains the rest of
the firmware updating stack for UEFI machines.

The packaging has already been started at https://salsa.debian.org/efi-
team/libjcat.  It will be uploaded when libjcat has it's first release.



Bug#920777: ITP: libxmlb -- XML binary library

2019-01-28 Thread Mario Limonciello
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mario Limonciello 

* Package name: libxmlb
  Version : 0.1.6
  Upstream Author : Richard Hughes 
* URL : https://github.com/hughsie/libxmlb
* License : LGPL2.1+
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : XML binary library

 The libxmlb library takes XML source, and
 converts it to a structured binary representation with a deduplicated string
 table -- where the strings have the NULs included.
 .
 This allows an application to mmap the binary XML file, do an XPath query and
 return some strings without actually parsing the entire document. This is all
 done using (almost) zero allocations and no actual copying of the binary data.

This package is used by newer versions of fwupd and gnome-software as a
mandatory
dependency.

It's intended to be maintained by the debian-efi team as part of supporting the
UEFI stack.
