Bug#813253: O: wmtv

2016-01-30 Thread Nicolas Boullis
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hi,

I’m hereby orphaning the wmtv package.
I haven’t given this package any care for years, my last upload was in 
2005. I also don’t use WindowMaker anymore, and I don’t use anymore any 
bt848- or bt878-based video capture card (and I can’t anyway since 
analog TV broadcast hast stopped in France).
The package has also been dead upstream for as long as I have known it.

Given its low popcon-score, this package might be a good candidate for 
removal.

Bug#278442: RFH: athcool -- Enable powersaving mode for Athlon/Duron processors

2004-10-26 Thread Nicolas Boullis
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request assistance with maintaining the athcool package.

The package description is:
 athcool is a small utility for enabling/disabling Powersaving mode
 for AMD Athlon/Duron processors.
 .
 By enabling Powersaving mode you can lower power consumption and
 CPU temperature when the CPU is idle.
 .
 Powersaving works only if your kernel supports ACPI (APM does not
 work), because athcool does only (un)set the Disconnect enable when
 STPGNT detected bits in the Chipset's Northbridge. To really save
 power, the STPGNT signal has to be sent when the CPU is idling. This
 is done by the ACPI subsystem when C2 state entered.
 .
 !!!WARNING!!!
 Depending on your motherboard and/or hardware components, enabling
 Athlon powersaving mode sometimes causes:
 .
  * noisy or distorted sound playback,
  * a slowdown in harddisk performance,
  * system locks or instability,
  * massive corruption of the filesystem (observed at least once).
 .
 If you met those problems, you should not use athcool. Please use
 athcool AT YOUR OWN RISK.
 .
 If athcool works fine for you, and you want it to run automatically
 on startup, please read the /usr/share/doc/athcool/README.Debian
 file.

Unfortunately, I only own one athlon-based system, which means I'm 
unable to test athcool on most supported systems. Hence, I'd like some 
volunteers to test athcool on as many different systems as possible, and 
to try to reproduce the bugs that are reported. If you own an 
athlon-based computer and want to help me with athcool, please send me 
an e-mail and tell me what kind of motherboard/CPU you own.

FYI, I currently need someone with a VIA KT600 or KT400 chipset to try 
to reproduce bug #276757 on both kind of systems.


Thanks in advance,

Nicolas Boullis

 That's what find foo | sort | xargs tar rvf foo.tar is for. Handles

I guess you should add '\! -type d' to your find command. Anyway, that
won't work if some file/directory contains a newline symbol. (Using this

Ideally, I would like this to be an option.

I don't understand what this option does/how you use it.


 - And most important: it works. miid doesn't. At least on my
   machine. First miid did not want to startup because the interface
   wasn't up. This is somewhat a paradoxon, I think. After doing
   ifconfig eth0 up by hand miid simply locked up my machine. After
   rebooting I got miid working for 2 minutes, than my machine locked
   up again. this simply doesn't occur with ifplugd. The need of
   ifconfig eth0 up may be caused by some strangeness of the 8193too
   driver I am using. However, ifplugd works around this
   maybe-bug. miid is unusable on my machine, while ifplugd is.

This looks very interesting to me, since I have a laptop with a
RTL8139C-based builtin NIC, and miid does not work fine on this laptop.
However, I consider this as a bug in the kernel 8139too module, not a bug
in miid. But miid works on my other laptop.
I will probably give ifplugd a try soon...

 - Different delays for setting an interface up and down. This is quite
   useful, since you mostly want to use networking immediately when you
   plug your cable in. Thus you set the up-delay to 0. However, you
   may want to unplug the cable for a short time without having the network 
 shut
   down. Thus you set the down-delay to 10. (or something like this)
   miid doesn't distuinguish between these to times.

That looks like a good idea.


 I cannot see any disadvantages of ifplugd over miid.
 
 I vote for ifplugd!

While this may be true with your hardware, are you sure ifplugd works
everywhere miid works?


I consider Debian does not need several miid/ifplugd-like packages. I
wish you wil try to work with Graeme and give Debian a single
perfectly-working miid/ifplugd/whateveritiscalled package.

How would you compare this to laptop-net (which is already packaged for
debian)?

Bug#115634: release pending?

2002-04-06 Thread Nicolas Boullis
Hi Michael!

Quite some time ago, on Feb 27, you announced me that your package for
em8300 was in the incoming queue. Since that time, I haven't got any
news for you, nor have I seen your package anywhere.

I'd really like to see these drivers available in Debian, and, if it's
still possible, in woody. If you've had problems related to the new
incoming queue, you should perhaps retry to upload it.

Else, if you need any kind of help, I'd love to help you my best.

Anyway, please let me know what's going on.


Best regards,

Nicolas

Well, IANAL, but it seems that permission is not granted to modify the
program, so you probably can't package it for debian.

However, if I am right, this can probably be fixed by asking upstream to
modify the license.

Bug#123146: ITP: mah-jong -- The original Mah-Jong game

2001-12-09 Thread Nicolas Boullis

  Description : The original Mah-Jong game

Description:
This is a set of programs to play the original Mah-Jong game: one
server, one client for a human player and one client for a programmed
player.

Please consider that the original Mah-Jong game has nothing to do with
the well known solitaire game. (It only uses the same set of tiles.)
