Lawrence * URL : https://github.com/lmj/global-vars * License : Expat 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.

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.

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).

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.

Bug#609047: An update on CCL for Debian
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. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Sébastien Villemot ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian Developer ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://sebastien.villemot.name ⠈⠳⣄ https://www.debian.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bug#826428: ITA: gcompris-qt -- Educational games for small children - Qt rewrite
I've just realized that an alternative transition plan has been described in #875912, so I'm cc'ing that bug too and its participants. Below is the transition plan that I had in mind and some additional comments.

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.

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.

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

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).

Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: pkg-gnome-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org I am orphaning the gnome-shell-extension-weather package.

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 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.

Please do not package as is
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.
Cheers,
