Bug#388429: RFA: wyrd -- text-based calendar application
Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hello, I'd like somebody else to take over maintenance of the wyrd package, since I don't use this program anymore. The package has two upstream bugs open. The upstream author is very resonsive and usually reacts on forwarded bugreports quickly. He fixes bugs in new upstream releases, that happen frequently. Knowing O'Caml could be helpful to the new maintainer but isn't really required as the upstream author is responsive. The package description is: Wyrd acts as an ncurses-based frontend for remind, a scheduler application featuring sophisticated date calculation, moon phases, sunrise/sunset, Hebrew calendar, alarms, multilingual messages, and proper handling of holidays. . Wyrd displays reminders on a browsable time table along with a calendar and lets the user create new timed or untimed reminders. Using the remind backend, it is possible to convert the calendar to PostScript for printing and to synchronize it with Palm handhelds. .

Bug#362958: Bug#356305: [Patch] TexMacs to build on gcc 4.1
Hello Ralf and Magnus, Ralf Treinen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > René, thanks a lot for your patch. I just uploaded a new version of the > package with your patch applied. Ah, I see that I forgot to Cc you in the first reply to your RFA before sending you the patch. ;-) Let me point you here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=362958 Looking at your package and reading the upstream development list of the past four months, I got the one or another questions left. 1) 01_american.dpatch: while all patches make perfectly sense to me, I fail to understand this one. Why is it needed to replace English by American? 2) Magnus, are you wanting to continue comaintaining Texmacs or do you both want to give the package away? 3) Now that I made Texmacs compile with GCC4.1, comes the next thing: The fonts. :-) Packaging the Type 1 extra-fonts package of Texmacs and make it available to itself and probably to other packages is what I want to try achieve. As far as I can see only a minority of the fonts in the extra-fonts package are provided by other packages in Debian. However: reading the mailing list archives, upstream says the fonts have been generated out of .mf sources from an "even larger Windows fonts package". Quesions from Magnus about the license do not seem to have been answered: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/texmacs-dev/2006-02/msg0.html | So, does anybody of you know what he is refereing to by "larger | Windows fonts package", where the .mf source and what its license | is? I.e. point me to a thread or such? If not, I'll just ask upstream myself. 4) Is there something else you want to tell or warn me about? ;-) René -- René van Bevern http://progn.org pgpiLx24quVRE.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi Trent,
> Description : A window manager written entirely in Common Lisp
If you are interested in packaging Common Lisp software, there is a
mailing list [1] for Common Lisp in Debian as well as a resource
on Alioth [2] that contains Darcs repositories of many of Debian's CL
packages.
There are also some hints on packaging Common Lisp in Debian on the
CLiki [3], (a more central and tidy document is in the works). So if
you are interested in comments or help in your package, just ask on
the list [1] :)

Bug#297346: getting albert in shape
retitle 297346 ITA: albert
owner 297346 !
thanks
As I am working on a package of AspectL (ITP 311420), whose documentation
is generated by albert, I try getting albert in shape to not provide an
undocumented package.
In its current state, albert neither works with CMUCL (probably others)
(#312277) nor with SBCL. For the first issue, I have a solution ready.
The issue about SBCL is: SBCL uses SIMPLE-STRING for strings since
the time it supports UTF-8, no matter if the string really has UTF-8
characters. This is perfectly fine by the HyperSpec, as it does not
require implementations to use the "strictest possible" string type.
However, Albert (and also cl-xmls) assert SIMPLE-BASE-STRING for their
XML strings, that may only contain ASCII. This is IMO the wrong way of
assuring that a string is ASCII-only, but it breaks Albert and
cl-xmls (probably others) for SBCL.
