  Description : A framework to store configuration atoms hierarchically

Elektra provides a universal and secure framework to store configuration
parameters in a hierarchical key-value pair mechanism, instead of each
program using its own text configuration files. This allows any program
to read and save its configuration with a consistent API, and allows
them to be aware of other applications' configurations, permitting easy
application integration. While architecturally similar to other OS
registries, Elektra does not have most of the problems found in those
implementations.

 It's funny and all, but it sets a bad precedent and will scare

It will be OK if the software also uses pictures of hot hunks.  And to

 DScaler is a Win32 application that captures video, processes it, and
 scales it for presentation.  It implements highly sophisticated
 algorithms that work in real-time, for high-quality video images.
 .
 The libdscaler package contains Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) from the
 DScaler application.  They are able to:
  * Deinterlace video source, from both cameras and console games;
  * Detect and remove 2:2 pulldown (PAL) and 3:2 pulldown (NTSC) for
movies and filmed television programs;
  * Reduce video noise on analog sources; and
  * Reduce jitter and other video timing anomalies.
 .
 Currently, these libraries are used as plugins by the tvtime package,
 dynamically loaded using Wine.

 Hello,
 How about pkg-tvtime on alioth?

There is no need.  tvtime now has preliminary Debian packaging

  I don't think that the third item should hold
  up inclusion of the package in Debian, to be honest.
 
 I agree.

I disagree.  This is _Debian_ where things should work the Right
Way when you install it.  We're not under release pressure so it's not
much of a big deal.

If you look in CVS tvtime, you'll notice that Debconf support is
mostly there.  There are, however, two things missing.

1) Each question needs a long description.  Billy Biggs has sent me a
   preliminary set of descriptions, I just have to merge his work.

2) I'm not respecting dpkg-statoverride --list when chmodding
   /usr/bin/tvtime.

After I get those two done, I'll quickly send it over to Joey
Hess and have him take a look at it.

 BTW there is another problem (probably a subproblem of 2), tvtime
 throws the binary plugins in /usr/share/ instead of /usr/lib.

I wondered about that.  I don't know where I'd put them if they
went in /usr/lib.  /usr/lib/win32?  They don't seem to belong in
/usr/lib/tvtime because they could be used by other media programmes in
the forseeable future.

 Hope you know what is apache, apache module, gzip, content and client.
 In these presumptions, this software allows you gzip all your .html
 and live as if they are not compressed.

So what you want is something like:

Description: Server-side decompression Apache module for gzipped files
  The mod_gunzip Apache module allows you to compress the static content
  on your website using gzip.  When serving the content, mod_gunzip will
  automatically gunzip your file before sending it to the client.  This
  allows you to save storage space on your web server.
  .
  If the client's browser can handle gzipped data, it will be not be
  uncompressed, thereby saving bandwidth as well.
  .
  mod_gzip also performs something similar.  mod_gunzip has the
  advantage of lower latency.

You can also use a similar description for mod_bunzip2, which
I've noticed you've ITPed.

  Description : Test a NIDS by attempting to evade using fragmented packets
   Fragrouter is aimed at testing the correctness of a NIDS, according
   to the specific TCP/IP attacks listed in the Secure Networks NIDS
   evasion paper. ``Insertion, Evasion, and Denial of Service: Eluding
   Network Intrusion Detection.''  It does this by routing network
   traffic in such a way as to elude most network intrusion detection
   systems.

Bug#149636: ITP: kernel-patch-lowlatency-2.4 -- Reduces the latency of the Linux kernel

2002-06-11 Thread Simon Law
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-06-10
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: kernel-patch-lowlatency-2.4
  Version : 20020519
  Upstream Author : Andrew Morton [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/schedlat.html
* License : GPLv2
  Description : Reduces the latency of the Linux kernel
   This patch to the Linux kernel reduces its scheduling latency.  This
   makes the kernel more responsive, and potentially increases its bandwidth;
   since threads waste less time waiting for execution.
   .
   It can be applied to the following kernel sources:
   2.4.17, 2.4.18

Bug#149635: ITP: ssldump -- An SSLv3/TLS network protocol analyzer

2002-06-11 Thread Simon Law
Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-06-10
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: ssldump
  Version : 0.9b2
  Upstream Author : Eric Rescorla [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://www.rtfm.com/ssldump
* License : 4-clause BSD
  Description : An SSLv3/TLS network protocol analyzer
   This program will dump the traffic on a network and analyze it for
   SSLv3/TLS network traffic, typically used to secure TCP connections.
   When it identifies this traffic, it decodes the results.  When
   provided with the appropriate keying material, it will also decrypt
   the connections and display the application data traffic.
   .
   ssldump is based on tcpdump, a network monitoring and data acquisition
   tool.  More information on ssldump is available at
