Bug#276892: RFA: galeon -- GNOME web browser for advanced users
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request an adopter for the galeon package. I've started a new job and unfortunately don't have time to maintain galeon any more. The package description is: A standards compliant web browser, which integrates well with the GNOME desktop environment. It does not include an email client, irc bot, website designer etc., therefore has a moderate resource usage. Internally the program uses Mozilla's Gecko rendering engine to display the web pages so is fully feature complete and standards compliant, as well as rendering pages quickly. .

Bug#199492: RFA: galeon -- GNOME web browser for advanced users
Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-01 Severity: normal Hi, This is not quite an RFA, more a request for co-maintainers. Galeon is a lot of work; lately I've not been giving it the time it deserves. I do want to continue maintaining galeon, but need more help. The current co-maintainers have been very good, but are now more interested in other projects. The package really needs the help of a crazy patch writer. Many of the issues should be trivial to fix (although there are also some larger features to deal with). If you're not interested in the reponsibility of being a co-maintainer, simply having more people going through the galeon bug reports and supplying the occasional patch would be great. The package description is: A Mozilla based web brower integrated with the GNOME desktop environment. Galeon is different from other browsers in that it has many powerful features, integrates well with gnome, and is smaller than Mozilla. Unlike many browsers, Galeon's features are entirely related to web browsing - it does not include an email client, irc bot or website designer. Galeon's motto is "The web, only the web". . Galeon's use of Mozilla's Gecko rendering engine makes it fully feature complete and standards compliant, as well as being very fast at rendering web pages. . By using the GNOME and GTK libraries for the user interface, Galeon is usually faster than mozilla and the interface integrates well with the GNOME2 Desktop Environment. . This is a development snapshot, but is considered stable by many. . Homepage: http://galeon.sf.net

Bug#174494: debbuggtk
Hi, I'm in the process of uploading packages and sources for libdebbug-java and debbuggtk to http://www.tildemh.com/tmp/debbuggtk I'd love to hear any suggestions you have. I'm just emailing the itp and people who showed interest at the moment; don't want to add too much junk to the mailing lists (especially if it turns out that there's a big bug in it, but there shouldn't be). If you want me to let you know of new versions in the future, please ask and I'll try to remember. I don't want to upload official packages until the quality is much better. Note that they require the latest java-gnome libraries (20030103), currently in incoming. Provided programs: bugviewer - this will download and display a bug report. buglister - this downloads and displays a package listing. Clicking on an item will open it in bugviewer bugwatcher - this is my main application. In the top left, there is a list of 'watched' items. This can be added to using the buttons underneath it. When one is clicked, that packages listing is loaded in the right. This can be updated by clicking the refresh button (it will also be done on program start, but this is currently commented out). The filter box for the listings is a complete spoof at the moment - sorry. When you click on an item in the listing, the full report should be loaded at the bottom. There are problems with parsing a number of bug reports - I probably won't fix these as I'd prefer to spend time thinking about an xml machine readable interface to the bts. There is another refresh button for the bug report. The edit button just gives a mock up page at the moment. Issues: - only works with kaffe. Java-GNOME does work for other people with other jre's (such as sablevm, gij, blackdown java), but I've had no success. Also, natively compiled code does not seem to work either. - kaffe is slow. It's a fact that kaffe's JNI code is slow. Hopefully this will be fixed with newer gij, or possibly natively compiled code. - text entry and viewing is incredibly slow. I have no idea why. Most probably due to the Java problems - no GNOME support. This means we cannot have gconf, menus, toolbars or statusbars. Big TODO items: - Status: Highlight bugs which are new of have had comments added to them. Show a count in the watched list. Possibly highlight all bugs where the user has commented on them. - ListingReport filters. a quick and easy way to search bug reports. Also having more advanced things such as limiting by tags, severity, owner... - ListingReport: option of more columns (checkboxes for each tag for example). Simple menu for switching each on/off. (This may not be necessary if the filters are as useful as I hope) - bugviewer: possibly use html to display the items. Maybe on one page. Not really sure about this yet. - Colin Watson has added a Last-Modified: header to bugreport.cgi which works on HTTP HEAD requests. I can't manage to read this at present. when I do, bug reports should only be downloaded when needed. - more intelligent removal of items from cache (e.g. bugs which have been closed) - pseudo package support - bug edit: load current values & generate an email for output. I don't like the ui at present - comments appreciated. - converting to work with the new debbug rewrite. I think this mainly involves working on a machine readable cgi for the server and a parser for this. Should probably look into it more though. I hope you manage to get this to work. Please let me know if you have any problems. As I've said already, we're using kaffe at the moment which does make it very slow - this will be fixed in the future. Other Java-GNOME developers have reported performance at almost the same as standard gtk, when using other jres. -- .''`.

Bug#174494: ITP: debbug-gtk -- GTK applications for managing Debian bugs
Hi, Thanks to everyone for the off-list support. The screenshot url was wrong. It should of course have been: http://tildemh.com/tmp/debbuggtk/20021227.png. A lot of my efforts have been enhancing the Java-Gnome bindings (I am a member of the upstream development team). There have particularly been problems with free jre's not functioning properly (or at least not in the generally expected manner); and also Blackdown java (as used by the rest of the java-gnome team) not working in Debian at the moment. The bugwatcher application does function, however there are a number of issues with text entries which make them run incredibly slowly with kaffe (Apparently Blackdown 1.4.1 works fine; other free jvms don't work at all, mostly due to jni problems) I have been trying to make the code reusable as far as possible. In particular, the bug listing widget and bug report widget may be used wherever wanted - this is demonstrated by the separate buglister and bugviewer apps. Hopefully in the future it will be possible to use these in other places, possibly a graphical bug reporting tool. In terms of the code and bts interaction, all it does at the moment is download the web pages with bug reports in them and then parses them (in a very crude manner). My aims were to get something which works with the current system before looking into changes in the bts. Being able to change bug reports is quite far down on the list of todo items at the moment - I want a stable bugwatcher tool first. I have not contacted doogie regarding his work at rewriting debbugs, but I'll probably look into it now. I won't post tarballs or packages up at the moment - they depend on newer java-gnome libraries than what is currently available in the repository. java-gnome builds currently fail part way through due to problems in the libgnome-java section (it is still all under development), so I can't upload updated packages. I will do so in a few days, by which time java-gnome should be buildable and I will have also done more work on bugwatcher. Thanks for the support. -- .''`.

Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2002-12-17 Severity: wishlist * Package name: epiphany-browser Version : 0.2.20021217 Upstream Author : Marco Pesenti Gritti <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://epiphany.mozdev.org/ * License : GPL Description : GNOME web browser with simple interface Epiphany means "An intuitive grasp of reality through something (as an event) usually simple and striking" Epiphany is a simple yet powerful GNOME web browser targetted at non-technical users. It's principles are simplicity and standards compliance. Simplicity is achieved by a well designed user interface and reliance on external applications for performing external tasks (such as reading email). Simplicity should not mean less powerful. Standards compliance is achieved on the html side by using the Gecko rendering engine, as developed for the Mozilla browser; and on the user interface side by closely following the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) and by close integration with the GNOME desktop. Preferences will be designed following the new GNOME policy. [Notes: - epiphany package name already taken, so using epiphany-browser. - epiphany is being developed by Marco Pesenti Gritti, the man who made galeon so successful. Recently, he tried to enforce HIG on galeon, by taking such actions as simplifying the menus and moving mime handling entirely to gnome. Many people were reluctant to change (many others agreed completely with him) and so there was some flamage which resulted in zero progress and Marco's decision to resign as lead maintainer. Galeon will now be re-introducing some of those old preferences, probably including the return of the 'tools' menu. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux pathfinderii.chu.cam.ac.uk 2.4.18 #16 Mon Apr 22 11:33:37 BST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C

Bug#149969: ITP version 0.8
hi, I'm currently working on the Java-GNOME project. We are busy preparing version 0.8, which will be the first version supporting gnome/gtk2. This is a complete rewrite of the bindings, and a slight change of philosophy - the aim is to produce a java framework for creating gtk/gnome applications; rather than simply copy the methods to java, we intend to create a framework which is easier to use and follows the Java style. As already pointed out, this will be the only truly free gui system for java. It runs perfectly with gcj and can even be used to create native code. I am not yet a Debian developer, but am in the NM queue. Once Java-Gnome version 0.8 is released, I will start work on Debian packages for it.

I've been looking into the packaging of Pacwars2. There are a number of problems which need to be resolved before it can be entered into the Debian archive.

When I receive a reply from the seer author, I will take another look at Pacwars2 and try to resolve some of the other issues (There are a number of license related issues to look into; and there may be an issue with pacwars2 not working with the latest version of the paragui library, which is currently in sid).

Bug#149969: RFP: java-gnome -- Java bindings for the GNOME and GTK libraries
Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2002-06-13 Severity: wishlist * Package name: java-gnome Version : 0.7.1 Upstream Author : Java-Gnome Developers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/ * License : LGPL Description : Java bindings for the GNOME and GTK libraries Java-GNOME is a set of Java bindings for the GNOME and GTK libraries that allow GNOME and GTK applications to be written in Java. The project consists of two libraries; java-gtk, a GTK-only binding, and java-gnome, a GTK and GNOME binding. Java-GNOME is not a Swing look-and-feel mimicking the GTK look, it is not a GTK/GNOME rewrite in Java, and it is not a set of GTK peers for AWT. It is a JNI layer that delegates the calls out to the native GTK or GNOME C libraries. Source tar.gz and src.rpm are currently available. These have the entire source for compiling the libraries (which have many dependencies in terms of compiling them). Additionally, the packages contain many example java programs (these are really useful for developers who are learning to use the java-gnome bindings); and sources for generating documentation (Javadoc API reference and tutorial) I would suggest that this is packaged as three separate packages: * binary bindings * Source bindings (including all relevant dependancies) * Developer package, including documentation and example programs -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux pathfinderii.chu.cam.ac.uk 2.4.18 #16 Mon Apr 22 11:33:37 BST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE= -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
