Thanks, yes, I have pushed fuzzel 1.8.2-2 [1] which resolves a FTBFS
due to a recent change in the fcft Debian package. There had already
been a failed attempt [2] to rebuild on amd64. (Are these automatic
after a new package enters the archive, or manually triggered?)

Dear FTP Team,

Regarding the embedded copy of nanosvg, please see the investigation
into prior occurrences in the Debian archive [1], and the reasoning

For the dsfmt package I figured out how to detect at run-time
SSE2 (i386) and Altivec (powerpc) without resorting to illegal
instructions, which might also be useful for this package.

/* SSE2 */
#include 
static int check_sse2() {
unsigned int eax = 0, ebx = 0, ecx = 0, edx = 0;
__get_cpuid(1, , , , );
return edx & bit_SSE2 ? 1 : 0;
}

/* Altivec */
#include 
static int check_altivec() {
unsigned long aux = getauxval(AT_HWCAP);
return aux & PPC_FEATURE_HAS_ALTIVEC ? 1 : 0;

Bug#817091: Acmetool Review

Thank you for taking the time to review the package!

Please pull from the git repository for commit 771996d, which adds a
patch for a security vulnerability reported upstream. This mitigates a
DOS by a malicious ACME server or intermediary sending a huge response
to exhaust the client’s memory. (This may affect other Let’s Encrypt
clients, too.)

The Go compiler supports a -buildmode=pie since version 1.6, but
currently dh_golang triggers a bug that prevents its use in Debian.

https://bugs.debian.org/821454

I would like to keep the lintian warnings both for PIE and BINDNOW,
since these should be taken seriously and fixed rather than muted.

Could you upload the package as of commit 771996d?

The newer versions (0.0.50 and 0.0.51) switched to versioned import
paths for some of the dependencies, which was in fact triggered by
Dmitry's and my requests to properly tag versions.

Go imports packages by URL, but does not support versioning natively.
The Go community set up a redirector service http://gopkg.in as a
work-around that allows importing packages by major version using

gopkg.in/user/pkg.v3 → github.com/user/pkg   (branch/tag v3, v3.N, or v3.N.M)

Unfortunately that means the corresponding Debian packages have
to be re-uploaded with new source and binary package names, e.g.,
golang-github-user-pkg becomes golang-gopkg-user-pkg.v3.

I have included all security and bug fixes from versions 0.0.50 and
0.0.51 as patches to avoid needing to upload further Go packages,
which is a painful process when depending only on sponsorship.

Getting to this stage at all was possible only thanks to the tireless
work of Dmitry Smirnov. I hope to get my first GnuPG signatures from
two Debian developers passing through the city in May, and apply to
become Debian maintainer to at least be able to upload new versions.

Peter

Bug#817096: Updating and renaming golang-pb to golang-github-cheggaaa-pb

[Peter Colberg]

Hi Sergio,

I am writing to you as current Debian Maintainer of golang-pb.

I would like to update the package to a newer upstream version, which
is needed to build acmetool. In the process I would like to set the
Maintainer to the Debian Go package team, and include you and myself
in the Uploaders field.

To reflect the Go package naming policy, I would like to rename the
source package from golang-pb to golang-github-cheggaaa-pb, and the
binary package from golang-pb-dev to golang-github-cheggaaa-pb-dev
with a Conflicts/Provides/Replaces for golang-pb-dev.

Please take a look at the proposed updated packaging [1], which is
maintained using git-buildpackage. I have imported your existing
Debian-specific commits from the old repository [2].

[1] https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-go/packages/golang-github-cheggaaa-pb.git
[2] https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-go/packages/golang-pb.git

Are you fine the proposed changes? If yes, I will upload the above
package via a request for sponsorship. I have verified that the only
reverse dependency on the package, etcd, builds using the new version.

When the renamed source package has been accepted into the archive,
I will subsequently request the removal of the old source package.

Regards,
Peter

I noticed that you have already created a pkg-go repository for

If you have no objections, I will push an updated upstream snapshot

a request for sponsored upload.

Thanks, I missed that one due to the abbreviated name.

The package is very much out of date (0.0~git20131219-1) and acmetool
fails to compile with it. Can I update the existing package to the
above version? Is it possible to rename both the source package and
the binary package to the long form, or would the old package have
to be deleted from the archive?

Bug#817091: ITP: acmetool -- automatic certificate acquisition tool for Let's Encrypt

[Peter Colberg]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Peter Colberg <pe...@colberg.org>

* Package name: acmetool
  Version : 0.0.49
  Upstream Author : Hugo Landau
* URL : https://hlandau.github.io/acme
* License : Expat
  Programming Lang: Go
  Description : automatic certificate acquisition tool for Let's Encrypt

acmetool is an easy-to-use command line tool for automatically
acquiring TLS certificates from ACME servers such as Let's Encrypt,
designed to flexibly integrate into your webserver setup to enable
automatic verification.

acmetool is designed to work like make: you specify what certificates
you want, and acmetool obtains certificates as necessary to satisfy
those requirements. If the requirements are already satisfied,
acmetool doesn't do anything when invoked. Thus, acmetool is
ideally suited for use on a cron job; it will do nothing until
certificates are near expiry, and then obtain new ones.

acmetool is designed to minimise the use of state and be transparent
in the state that it does use. All state, including certificates, is
stored in a single directory, by default /var/lib/acme. The schema
for this directory is simple, comprehensible and documented.

This package will be maintained by the Debian Go team (Cc'ed).

Do you still intend to upload this package to Debian?

I intend to package acmetool for Debian [1], which depends on
github.com/cheggaaa/pb, which depends on github.com/fatih/color.

I am not a Debian Developer, so I would upload the package via a
sponsorship request, in case you are no longer interested in it.

That is good news. My plan is to set the Maintainer field to the
pkg-voip list, and add myself to the Uploaders field. You are
more then welcome to add yourself to Uploaders, too.

I maintain the package using gbp. The git repository [1] is currently
under my alioth account. I have applied to become a member of the
pkg-voip team and will move the repository to the pkg-voip group.

Could you also request to join the pkg-voip team [2] on alioth?

Bug#738469: RFA: twinkle -- Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) SIP Phone

[Peter Colberg]

Dear Debian VoIP team,

Twinkle, a graphical SIP client, has recently been resurrected upstream
with a port to Qt 5 [1]. I have packaged twinkle 1.9.0 for Debian [2],
which has been uploaded by the previous maintainer, Clint Adams.

[1] http://twinkle.dolezel.info/
[2] https://bugs.debian.org/797159

Going forward, what do you think of maintaining twinkle under the
umbrella of the pkg-voip team? I am not a DD/DM and would require
sponsorship for uploads. So far I gained packaging experience thanks
to Graham Inggs and Sébastien Villemot from the Debian Julia team [3].

The twinkle package is maintained in a git repository [4].

Bug#803354: ITP: dsfmt -- dSFMT pseudorandom number generator

[Peter Colberg]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Peter Colberg <pe...@colberg.org>

* Package name: dsfmt
  Version : 2.2.3
  Upstream Author : Mutsuo Saito and Makoto Matsumoto
* URL : http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/SFMT/
* License : BSD-3-clause

  Description : dSFMT pseudorandom number generator

The double-precision SIMD-oriented Fast Mersenne Twister (dSFMT) is a variant
of the Mersenne Twister pseudorandom number generator designed for modern CPUs
with multi-stage pipelining and SIMD instructions. dSFMT directly generates
IEEE 754 format double-precision floating-point pseudorandom numbers in the
ranges [1, 2), [0, 1), (0, 1] and (0, 1), and supports various periods from
2^521-1 to 2^216091-1.

This package replaces the embedded copy of dSFMT in the julia package, and
is suited to substitute embedded copies in the xmds2 and shogun packages.

The package will be maintained by the Debian Julia Team (Cc'ed).

I am in the process of packaging Julia 0.4.0. To run on the hardware
considered for the ShowMeBox project, the julia package will first
have to be ported to the armhf architecture. Would you be interested
in helping with the porting?

Regarding julia-gadfly, so far no Julia packages have been packaged
for Debian, relying on users to install packages using Pkg.add().

@Sébastien: What are your thoughts on packaging Julia packages?

Peter
