Bug#479706: etcgit to be packaged?

2012-07-14 Thread Norman Ramsey
This request seems to have fallen off the radar.
I'm using etckeeper, but I would love to have etcgit's support for
keeping pristine conffiles in a separate branch, for purposes
of merging at upgrade time.

Bug#479659: any hope for progress?

2011-12-18 Thread Norman Ramsey
It's a real shame that disagreements about packaging have left us with
wine packages that are wildly out of date.  Perhaps it is better to have
badly packaged software that is up to date than to have well-packaged
software that is never updated?

Bug#425609: opengrok package abandoned?

2010-03-18 Thread Norman Ramsey
I saw the ITP but the project seems to have been abandoned.  This is something
I would really like to see.  The directory at mentors is empty and I can't
find it in the regular distribution either.  What happened?

Bug#572855: RFP: sfio-dev -- Phong Vo's Safe Fast I/O Library (ATT Advanced Software Technology)

2010-03-06 Thread Norman Ramsey
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


I'd like to see Phong Vo's sfio library packaged for easy use by
Debian programmers.  This software is extraordinarily flexible and
performant, and I believe Debian developers will benefit materially by
having it easily available.  (The upstream install process is baroque.)


I've listed the information page as the URL;
the download page is http://www2.research.att.com/sw/download/.
What I'm really keen to have is the sfio library, but I have no
problem if someone wants to package the entire ast-ast library, which
is the way it is bundled upstream.  All of that stuff is pretty useful.



* Package name: sfio-dev
  Version : 2010-03-01

* License : ATT Common Public License, 
http://www2.research.att.com/~gsf/license/cpl-1.0.html
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Phong Vo's Safe Fast I/O Library (ATT Advanced Software 
Technology)

Sfio is a library for managing I/O streams. It provides functionality
similar to that of Stdio, the ANSI C Standard I/O library, but via a
distinct interface that is more powerful, robust and efficient.
Features include thread safety, adaptive buffering, and efficient
algorithms for reading and writing numbers.  Available features to
enhance performance include direct access to stream buffers to avoid
copying, and operations that read and scan lines or records of any
length, avoiding buffer overflow automatically.

Bug#535902: RFP: tortoisehg -- TortoiseHg graphical tool for working with Mercurial

* Package name: tortoisehg
  Version : 0.8

  Description : TortoiseHg graphical tool for working with Mercurial

TortoiseHg provides a graphical tool for interacting with the
distributed revision control system Mercurial.  GUI support is 
provided for over a dozen operations, including add files, commit
changes, manage ignore filter, view change log, merge,
recover/rollback, edit configuration, synchronize repository, and many
others.   The highlight is the interactive commit tool which allows
easy selection of diffs from multiple files and packaging into
changesets, and which is more powerful and easier to use than
available alternatives such as qct and hgct (commit-tool).

Bug#489319: RFP: gnome-inform7 -- a graphical tool for creating interactive fiction using natural language

2008-07-04 Thread Norman Ramsey
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

The upstream developer is distributing from 
http://www.inform-fiction.org/I7/Download.html
and already has a .deb form.

The Gnome interface is GPL.

The package requires Inform 6, which appears not to be free software,
although I can't find a license anywhere.

* Package name: gnome-inform7
  Version : 5T18
  Upstream Author : P.F. Chimento [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://www.inform-fiction.org/I7/Download.html
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C or C++ is likely, but I do not know
  Description : a graphical tool for creating interactive fiction using 
natural language

Inform is a design system for interactive fiction, a new medium for
writers which began with adventure games in the late 1970s. Since its
introduction in 1993, Inform has become a standard tool.

Three years in the making, Inform 7 is a radical reinvention of the
way interactive fiction is designed: In place of traditional computer
programming, the design is built by writing natural English-language
sentences.

An easily learned but flexible one-window user interface makes the
cycle of writing and testing rapid and painless. Inform creates,
manages, edits, indexes, tests, and even helps to publish works of IF
without fuss or screen clutter.  Inform produces works playable on a
vast range of computers. Convenient publishing features include help
with drawing maps, producing websites, cover art, bibliographic data,
walkthrough solutions and more.

Here are various command-line tools for geocaching. Some are designed
to turn the clickly-clicky-scroll-clicky-clicky messes that are
geocaching.com and navicache.com into a set of tools which you can use
in a batch or cron mode to establish your normal caching routine,
backup your caches and cache logs, etc. Others are used to enter new
waypoints, a free geocoder, create custom maps of waypoints, etc.
