  Description : libretro wrapper for Nestopia

Nestopia is a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) / Famicom emulator, with a
high compatibility rate.

This packages provides a wrapper allowing the Nestopia engine to be used with
libretro frontends such as RetroArch and GNOME Games.

The libretro-nestopia binary package used to be shipped by the nestopia source
package. But this is no longer the case, since the libretro backend
maintenance has moved elsewhere, hence the need for a new source package.

  Programming Lang: Common Lisp
  Description : efficient global variables in Common Lisp

In Common Lisp, a special variable that is never dynamically bound typically
serves as a stand-in for a global variable. This library provides true global
variables that are implemented by some compilers. An attempt to rebind a global
variable properly results in a compiler error. That is, a global variable
cannot be dynamically bound.

Global variables therefore allow us to communicate an intended usage that
differs from special variables. Global variables are also more efficient than
special variables, especially in the presence of threads.

pgloader is to work with PostgreSQL 14).

First, note that Common Lisp is a standard, which has different
implementations. In Debian, we have 5 of them, the most important ones
being SBCL, ECL and CLISP.¹

My understanding is that Bergman uses CLISP as its reference
implementation. This is a rather slow Common Lisp implementation, but
it is well-supported in Debian. SBCL is a much faster implementation,
but I don’t know if Bergman works with it (at the very least you would
have to modify the build system).

Applications programmed in Common Lisp typically ship the lisp image in
the binary package. See for example xindy², which also uses CLISP. See
also pgloader³, that uses SBCL (and relies on buildapp⁴ for creating
the executable from the lisp image).

So the ideal solution would still be to patch Bergman in a way that
allows it to work with sources under a standard location (typically
/usr/share/common-lisp/source/bergman/).

If that’s not possible, then you could do as you suggest: only ship the
sources in the binary package (under the location mentioned above), and
build the lisp image in the postinst script.

Note that most Common Lisp library packages only ship sources as well
(under /usr/share/common-lisp/source/), but they don’t provide any lisp
image. These libraries are supposed to be loaded from implementations,
typically via ASDF, into the running lisp image.

I hope this clarifies a bit. Don’t hesitate to ask for further advice,
since the Common Lisp way of doings things can be disturbing at first
sight. In particular, I suggest that you go through the introductory
wiki page linked below.

Bug#609047: An update on CCL for Debian

2021-07-10 Thread Sébastien Villemot
I’ve recently tried to reevaluate the situation regarding CCL in
Debian.

In short, the answer is unfortunately that it’s not yet possible to
package CCL, but there is however the hope that the situation will
improve at some point.

What prevents CCL from being packaged Debian is the ffigen tool, which
is required at build time to generate various FFI bindings. The latest
functional version of this tool (ffigen4) is essentially a patch over
GCC 4. The ftpmasters refused to have this in the archive (see above).

There is however an ongoing effort to rewrite ffigen, see:
https://github.com/Clozure/ccl/issues/13

The rewrite is essentially a small executable depending on libclang,
and is now dubbed ffigen5.

I’ve tried it, and even though it is able to parse many C headers, it
still fails at some. So it’s not yet ready for use. But hopefully it
will be at some point, which should clear the way for CCL in Debian.

At least because the Debian package for the Intel decimal floating-
point library entered the archive on 2020-07-22, so after I had
submitted my code!

Of course we should use the packaged library if possible, and I had
myself though about packaging that library independently. However, I
had given up the idea because Free42 patches the library: see
gtk/intel-lib-linux.patch. I did not really look into this patch to see
how important it is and whether it makes it impossible to use the
pristine library, but I guess this is a significant blocker for the
split in two packages.

I’m going to wait for Christian’s feedback on this issue in particular,
and on my work in general, before moving further. As long as we are in
time for inclusion in bullseye, no rush on my side.

Thanks for your feedback,

I went ahead and I created a repository that contains an almost-ready
package for 2.5.19, using a standard git-buildpackage workflow. See:
https://salsa.debian.org/sebastien/free42-nologo

Please let me know if you accept to have the next upload based on this
work.

If you welcome my work, then we need to decide:

- what to put in the Maintainer/Uploaders field. My suggestion is to
create a team alias on tracker.debian.org that can function as a cheap
mailing list (of the form team+pkg-fre...@tracker.debian.org, where
"pkg-free42" can be replaced by whatever we want), and use that address
in the Maintainer field. Personal adresses would go to the Uploaders
field.

- where to put the git repository. I suggest the "debian" group on
salsa.debian.org, or alternatively a dedicated group on salsa

Then a few packaging decisions remain to be taken:

- what to do with the old "menu" entry (and the corresponding generated
32x32 pixmap). I suggest to drop it, since it is essentially obsolete.

- now that we have two versions of the program (binary vs decimal), I
think it would make sense to use the alternatives mechanism to provide
a generic /usr/bin/free42 that will point either to free42dec or
free42bin (the former being the default, since it is more precise and
more faithful to the original HP 42S)

- providing a .desktop file (pointing to the generic free42; or
alternatively, two desktop files, one for each version)

- providing aliases for the manpage so that it works with free42dec as
well (and possibly with the free42 generic alternative)

Please let me know your thoughts.

Best,

I think the name “octave-kernel” is not very good from a Debian
perspective, because it may give the impression that this package is
somehow related to the main “octave” package (being its core or
something like that), and it does not show the link to Jupyter.

I suggest that the package be rather named “octave-jupyter”, which is
much more explicit. This would also be consistent with already existing
packages like “sagemath-jupyter” (which provides the Sagemath kernel).

Bug#917787: ITP: cl-named-readtables -- Common Lisp library that creates namespaces for named readtables

2018-12-30 Thread Sébastien Villemot
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Sébastien Villemot 

* Package name: cl-named-readtables
  Version : 20180121.git985b162
  Upstream Author : Gábor Melis 
* URL : https://github.com/melisgl/named-readtables
* License : BSD-3-clause
  Programming Lang: Common Lisp
  Description : Common Lisp library that creates namespaces for named 
readtables

Named-Readtables is a library that provides a namespace for readtables akin to
the already-existing namespace of packages in Common Lisp. In particular:
 - you can associate readtables with names, and retrieve readtables by names;
 - you can associate source files with readtable names, and be sure that the
   right readtable is active when compiling/loading the file;
 - similarly, your development environment now has a chance to automatically
   determine what readtable should be active while processing source forms on
   interactive commands. (E.g. think of `C-c C-c` in Slime (yet to be done))

It follows that Named-Readtables is a facility for using readtables in
a localized way.

Additionally, it also attempts to become a facility for using
readtables in a modular way. In particular:
 - it provides a macro to specify the content of a readtable at a glance;
 - it makes it possible to use multiple inheritance between readtables.


This package is a new dependency of cl-interpol.

It will be maintained within the Debian Common Lisp Team.

I am also interested in uploading X-13ARIMA-SEATS to Debian. I just
came across this ITP, after already doing much of the work on my side.

Since the ITP currently has no owner (it was automatically retitled as
RFP, because of prolonged inactivity), I am setting myself as its new
owner; but I don't want anyone to feel excluded, so don't hesitate to
tell me if you want to (co-)maintain the package.

As you already discussed, the main concern with the package is its
license. I started another thread on debian-legal@ about another clause
that had not yet been discussed, namely the requirement to do “no harm”
to the U.S. The conclusion of the thread is that it makes the package
clearly non-free. See:
 https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2018/08/msg0.html

So it is my intention to upload the package to the non-free section. Of
course, this does not prevent us from contacting the authors again and
trying to obtain another license change that would make the package
DSFG-compatible (at which point it could be moved to the main section).

Rytis: you mentioned that you had a manpage ready. It would be nice to
include them in the package, so don't hesitate to send it to me if you
still have it around.

Also note that I intend to maintain this package within the Debian
Science Team, but again this can be changed if this does not suit you.

I'm orphaning Zotero, since I don't have the time needed to fix outstanding

Debian currently has major version 4, which no longer works with Firefox 54

upstream servers.

The package should be upgraded to major version 5 to fix these issues, but this
requires substantial work with Javascript libraries (ideally by packaging them
in Debian, otherwise by bundling them), see #871502.

Bug#815264: O: double-conversion -- routines to convert IEEE floats to and from strings

2018-08-18 Thread Sébastien Villemot
Hi Lumin,

Le samedi 18 août 2018 à 15:16 +, Lumin a écrit :

Great!

You should probably check with reverse dependencies that it's ok to
package a snapshot. In particular, Qt5 depends on double-conversion, so
you should handle this package with care.

Best,

Bug#900148: ITP: cl-asdf-flv -- file-local variables through Common Lisp's ASDF

2018-05-26 Thread Sébastien Villemot
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Sébastien_Villemot <sebast...@debian.org>
Control: block 865952 by -1

* Package name: cl-asdf-flv
  Version : 2.1
  Upstream Author : Didier Verna <did...@didierverna.net>
* URL : 
https://www.lrde.epita.fr/~didier/software/lisp/misc.php#asdf-flv
* License : permissive-fsf
  Programming Lang: Common Lisp
  Description : file-local variables through Common Lisp's ASDF

ASDF-FLV provides support for file-local variables through ASDF (the Common
Lisp standard utility for building projects and declaring dependencies between
them).

A file-local variable behaves like *PACKAGE* and *READTABLE* with respect to
LOAD and COMPILE-FILE: a new dynamic binding is created before processing the
file, so that any modification to the variable essentially becomes file-local.

This package will be maintained within the Debian Common Lisp Team. It is a new
dependency of cl-fiveam, and is needed for fixing #865952.

Bug#892320: ITP: r-cran-plm -- set of estimators and tests for panel data econometrics

2018-03-08 Thread Sébastien Villemot
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Sébastien Villemot <sebast...@debian.org>

* Package name: r-cran-plm
  Version : 1.6-6
  Upstream Author : Yves Croissant <yves.croiss...@univ-reunion.fr>
* URL : https://cran.r-project.org/package=plm
* License : GPL-2+
  Programming Lang: GNU R
  Description : set of estimators and tests for panel data econometrics


This R package intends to make the estimation of linear panel models
straightforward. It provides functions to estimate a wide variety of models and
to make (robust) inference.

The main functions to estimate models are:
 - plm: panel data estimators using lm on transformed data,
 - pgmm: generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation for panel data,
 - pvcm: variable coefficients models for panel data,
 - pmg: mean groups (MG), demeaned MG and common correlated effects (CCEMG)
   estimators.

Next to the model estimation functions, the package offers several functions
for statistical tests related to panel data/models.

Multiple functions for (robust) variance–covariance matrices are at hand as
well. The package also provides data sets to demonstrate functions and to
replicate some text book/paper results.


This package is needed for fixing the autopkgtest of r-cran-aer. It will be
maintained within the r-pkg-team at
https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/r-cran-plm.

Thanks for your work. Unfortunately there are still a couple of issues. I would
have been happy to fix them myself, but I don't have write access to the git
repository. If you lack time, just let me know, I can probably send you a
series of git patches.

- please delete the old repository at collab-maint on alioth, to avoid
  confusion

- I still get this lintian message:

I: gcompris-qt source: unused-license-paragraph-in-dep5-copyright ofl-1.1 
(paragraph at line 192)

- In debian/copyright, the license for src/activities/chess/resource/* is
  said to be CC0, with a custom paragraph for full license text. Since recently,
  the full text of CC0-1.0 is included in /usr/share/common-licenses/CC0-1.0, so
  I think you should refer to it (unless the license is really not the same).

- please address RC bug #820496 (by just closing it from the changelog if it is
  already fixed by your changeset)

- please close ITA bug #826428 from the changelog

2) The Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser fields point to Ubuntu packaging, which is
   probably not what you want.
   
   BTW, it looks like there are currently two git repositories on Alioth: one
   in collab-maint (the most up-to-date) and one in pkg-kde-extras. I guess you
   should decide which one to keep and delete the other one (and if you opt for
   pkg-kde-extras, please finalize the changelog and add the debian git tag,
   since I don't have write access to it).

Thanks for sharing. That hack would actually open the door to a 3rd transition
scheme:
- keeping only the gcompris-qt source package (src:gcompris can be immediately
  removed)
- keeping gcompris-qt as the main binary package
- having gcompris as a transitional package, generated by src:gcompris-qt, and
  would be the only binary package with an epoch number

That scheme looks like a good compromise to me.

Compared to the plan described in #875912 (keeping two separate source package,
and making "gcompris" a transitional package depending on "gcompris-qt), my
plan has the advantage of avoiding the need for a transitional *source*
package, and keeps the binary package "gcompris" as the main binary package
which is probably better from a user point of view; its drawback is that it
requires an epoch bump.

I am basically fine with both options, so please weigh in if you have a strong
case for either of the two scenarios.

Best,

Here is how I would do the transition:

- keep the source package name "gcompris-qt"

- but rename the binary packages to "gcompris" and "gcompris-data"
  respectively, therefore taking over the binary packages currently provided by
  src:gcompris

- since the version number of the old series (15.10-1) is higher than the new
  one (0.81-1), the epoch needs to be bumped (i.e. we should use 1:0.81-1).

- a transition package "gcompris-qt" (depending on "gcompris") should be 
provided
  for current users of the -qt version 

- finally, after uploading these changes, removal of the older src:gcompris
  source package should be requested.

Does that sound good to you?

If yes, I am willing to implement this change in the git.

Best,

I indeed made a few contributions to scilab, but limited to QA work.

I don’t intend to do the usual maintenance work, nor am I working on packaging

I reviewed your work and here are the points that need to be modified before
the package can be uploaded:

- The layout of the git repository is incorrect. It should be in the
  git-buildpackage format, with 3 branches (master, upstream, pristine-tar) and
  various tags.
  You should scratch the current repository, create the first version of your
  package out of git, and then import the resulting source package into git
  using:

   gbp import-dsc --pristine-tar vspline_0.1.2-1.dsc

  (note that, by the way, I assumed you would start with the new 0.1.2 upstream
  version; also note that debian/files should not be in git, but anyways it
  will not be imported by gbp)

- I don’t really see the point of the vspline-examples package, it is very
  small. I rather recommend to put examples in the vspline-dev package,
  installing them using dh_installexamples (i.e. listing the files in
  debian/vspline-dev.examples). They will end up in
  /usr/share/doc/vspline-dev/examples (note the plural), which is the standard
  location.

- In debian/copyright:
  + Do not put brackets around the URL in the Source field
  + "EXPAT" should rather be written "Expat" (license names are standardized)
  + You put the debian packaging under GPL-3+. This is OK, but standard
practice is to put the packaging under the same license as the upstream
source. In particular, this makes contributed patches easier to incorporate
upstream. But this is your call (and the more so that you are both upstream
and downstream).

- In debian/changelog:
  + You should close the ITP bug (#867382)
  + You should not put an epoch in the version number (i.e. drop the "0:"
prefix)

- In debian/control:
  + Demote the priority to "optional" (priority "extra" has been deprecated in
Debian Policy 4.0.1)
  + Use the latest Standards-Version: 4.1.0
  + Use "Uploaders" instead of "Uploader" (note the plural)
  + Add ${misc:Depends} to the dependencies of vspline-dev
  + In the Vcs-Browser field, replace "/git/" by "/cgit/"
  + The indentation in the long description of vspline-dev is wrong. You can
fix automatically it by running "cme fix dpkg" (after installing the
libconfig-model-dpkg-perl package)

Thanks for your work,

Indeed I have considered packaging grammalecte in Debian, but it turned
out to be non-free (because of lacking source for one of the core

Last time I checked, the problem was still not solved.

Hopefully you’ll find a solution with upstream author, but 3 years ago

Thanks, I made the upload.

Just as a reminder, you are left with two tasks:
- asking the ftpmasters to update the override file to reflect your
change in the section of ofx
- forwarding your patch upstream, and updating the DEP-3 fields
accordingly

Thanks, this is good news.

I am willing to be your sponsor.

I had a very quick look at your current packaging work. My
understanding is that in version 0.9.11 there was a SOVERSION bump
(libofx6->7), that is currently not reflected in the shared library
package name. If this is indeed the case, that also means that the
package cannot be uploaded to unstable until stretch is released,
because of the freeze (but you can still upload it to experimental in
the meantime).

Other things that could be done to improve the package include:
- dropping libofx6-dbg, and relying instead on automatic debug packages
- bumping debhelper compat level to 10 (in that case, my understanding
is that you need to add the --no-parallel option to dh, since
ofxdump/Makefile is not parallel safe; you could also drop the dh-
autoreconf build-dependency).

Bug#828694: O: gnome-shell-extension-weather -- weather extension for GNOME Shell

2016-06-26 Thread Sébastien Villemot
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org

I am orphaning the gnome-shell-extension-weather package.

The package description is:
 gnome-shell-extension-weather is a simple extension for displaying weather
 conditions and forecasts in GNOME Shell, featuring support for multiple
 locations, an easy way of selecting locations, and a settings panel through
 gnome-shell-extension-prefs. The weather data are fetched from Yahoo! Weather,
 and include forecasts for up to five days.

The prospective maintainer should be aware of the history of the package:

 * initially it was following the upstream version by Neroth
   (https://github.com/Neroth/gnome-shell-extension-weather), which was at that
   time fetching data from Yahoo! weather.

 * then Neroth decided to move to libgweather. But that change meant a
   significant restriction of the number of cities for which weather forecast
   was available (see #726977)

 * therefore the package started tracking another upstream, from jenslody
   (https://github.com/jenslody/gnome-shell-extension-openweather), which
   continued maintaining the Yahoo! weather version.

 * then jenslody changed the weather provided to openweathermap.org, and later
   added forecast.io as an alternative source. This is the point where we are
   now.

 * in the meantime, my understanding is that libgweather was improved, and that
   it provides forecasts for many more cities. So it may make sense to move
   back to the Neroth version of the extension, for better integration with the
   rest of Gnome. It's up to the new maintainer to assess the situation and
   make a decision.

The package description is:

 This library provides routines to convert IEEE single and double floats to and

  Description : comprehensive R package to read, write and format Excel data

XLConnect is a package that allows for reading, writing and manipulating
Microsoft Excel files from within R. It uses the Apache POI API as the
underlying interface.

XLConnect allows you to produce formatted Excel reports, including graphics,
straight from within R. This enables automation of manual formatting and
reporting processes. Reading and writing named ranges enables you to process
complex inputs and outputs in an efficient way.

Maybe you are already well aware of that, but I just wanted to mention
that the C++ double-conversion library is already packaged in Debian. So
ideally your new package should link against the shared library provided
by the double-conversion package, and ignore the embedded copy of the
double-conversion library.

 This package provides a set of classes and methods to read data and metadata
 documents exchanged through the Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX)
 framework, currently focusing on the SDMX XML standard format (SDMX-ML).

 SDMX is an initiative to foster standards for the exchange of statistical
 information. It is sponsored by several major providers of statistical
 information: the Bank for International Settlements, the European Central
 Bank, Eurostat (the statistical office of the European Union), the
 International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation
 and Development (OECD), the United Nations Statistics Division, the United
 Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the World Bank.

 The package can therefore be used to download statistical information from the
 servers of those organizations, and from those of several other institutions.

 This package will be maintained within the Debian Science Team.

 Just read this after... I think it's best within the DPMT, since it may
 be used by *a lot* of packages. Your thoughts?

I was quicker than expected and the package is already in NEW, with the
Debian Julia Team as maintainer.

If it turns out that the package raises a lot of interest, or if I am
not responsive enough on problems, I will readily transfer its ownership
to the DPMT. For the time being, I realize that I don't feel like
joining the DPMT just for one package.

Bug#751378: ITP: openlibm -- standalone implementation of C mathematical functions

2014-06-12 Thread Sébastien Villemot
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Sébastien Villemot sebast...@debian.org

* Package name: openlibm
  Version : 0.3
  Upstream Author : Julia development team
* URL : https://github.com/JuliaLang/openlibm
* License : BSD, MIT, ISC, public domain
  Programming Lang: C, asm
  Description : standalone implementation of C mathematical functions


OpenLibm is an effort to have a high quality, portable, standalone libm
implementation, under a liberal free software license. It can be used
standalone in applications and programming language implementations.

The project was born out of a need to have a good libm for the Julia
programming langage that worked consistently across compilers and operating
systems, and in 32-bit and 64-bit environments.

The OpenLibm code derives from the FreeBSD msun implementation, which in turn
derives from FDLIBM 5.3. As a result, it includes a number of fixes and updates
to FDLIBM that have accumulated over the years in msun, and optimized versions
of many functions.

OpenLibm builds on Linux, and with little effort, should build on FreeBSD as
well. It builds with both, GCC and clang. Although largely tested on x86, it
also includes experimental support for ARM.

OpenLibm was previously embedded within the Julia package. It has now its own
release cycle, hence the separate Debian package (which will be maintained
within the Debian Julia Team).

Openspecfun provides AMOS and Faddeeva.

AMOS (from Netlib) is a portable package for Bessel Functions of a Complex

functions and Airy functions.

Faddeeva allows computing the various error functions of arbitrary complex
arguments (Faddeeva function, error function, complementary error function,
scaled complementary error function, imaginary error function, and Dawson
function); given these, one can also easily compute Voigt functions, Fresnel
integrals, and similar related functions as well.

 Description: MPI version of SuperLU
 
  SuperLU is a general purpose library for the direct solution of
  large, sparse, nonsymmetric systems of linear equations on high

  Note that you can already find a tentative package on Debian science
 svn repository

The upstream tarball contains a nonfree file (SRC/mc64ad.c) that is not
dealt with in the packaging currently in SVN. This issue is very similar
to that of the superlu package (version 4.3+dfsg-2), and should probably
dealt with similarly: by creating a debian/orig-tar.sh script that
repackages the upstream tarball, and modifying debian/watch accordingly;
also one should create a patch similar to
debian/patches/mc64ad-stub.patch from superlu (in order to allow
compilation, and have the library abort if one tries to use the feature
implemented with nonfree code).

Also, the debian/copyright file lacks information about several files
(for example those under a Xerox copyright).

 I'm not sure to understand the problem. 

The problem is the following clause in src/JSON_parser.c:

 The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.

This makes the software nonfree, and it should therefore be rejected by
ftpmasters. See [1] and [2] for discussions of this problem.

I also encountered this issue when trying to package WDI from CRAN,
which depends on RJSONIO. As a workaround, I am going to package
rjson, which also does the job (but is slower, and has a slightly
different API which therefore implies to patch on WDI).

Ideally RJSONIO should be fixed by (1) repackaging the tarball without
JSON_parser.{c,h} and (2) providing equivalent functionality with a
patch. Unfortunately I don’t have the time and skills to do that.

 desired C/C++ and FORTRAN function calls and MATLAB function files to access
 that gateway. MWrap takes care of the details of converting to and from
 MATLAB's data structures, allocating and freeing temporary storage, handling
 object upcasts (even in the presence of multiple inheritance), and catching 
 C++
 exceptions. The gateway functions also work with recent versions of Octave.

May I suggest you to maintain this package under the umbrella of the
Debian Octave Group? [1]

Co-maintenance of packages is considered to be a good thing (TM), and
within this group we already maintain most Octave-related packages in
Debian.

Best,

The plan is rather to maintain it in the Debian Octave Group [1]. I
should have mentionned it in the ITP.
