Bug#90347: ITP: wmacpi -- A WindowMaker dock app to monitor battery status
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Hi, I intend to package wmacpi, which is a WindowMaker dockable battery status monitor for ACPI systems (so the package will be i386 and ia64 only for the first time).

Hi, I have ported wmfinder to Qt 2 and uploaded it to experimental[1] (ATM it is in incoming[2]) for i386 and m68k. Due to Qt's brain dead signal handling it may happen that some signals aren't delivered correctly (there is a warning on stderr then), also there may be a lot of other bugs.

Bug#117977: ITP: signing-party
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Hi, I'm at a conference ATM, and I'm going to introduce a few people to the concepts of key signing tomorrow. For this, I've hacked a few scripts, for example one that makes a PS file which looks like "gpg --list-keys" output (except with a nicer font), which I'd like to package so people can use them for their own signing parties. Version 0.1-1 will only be these two scripts, for 0.2-1 I'm also planning exhaustive documentation (HOWTO signing-party, HOWTO explain the concept). I don't have the stuff downloadable yet but I hope to get this done before Sunday. The package will definitely not be ready before Sunday evening since I don't have access to my GPG key remotely (as it should be).

Bug#120618: ITP: magicfilter-forcefilter
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Hi, Since the stupid printer spooler running on my Amiga (which is binary-only, so I can't fix it) likes to tell lpd that the file should not be filtered, magicfilter is called with the -c option which makes it ignore all filters configured. Alas, this cannot be turned off, so to make my printer usable again, I had to hack a tool which removes the "-c" option from the command line (a script wouldn't do due to the way magicfilter is called). To properly integrate this into my system, I've packaged it (and probably other people might want such a thing too). Description: Force filtering with magicfilter against the user's request With the BSD lpr command, it is possible to specify that the job is not to be run through a print filter. To avoid abuse, the filter is still run, but told not do do anything. Magicfilter obeys this, which may not be what you want. . This program simply wraps around the magicfilter main binary, removing the -c option if present. This is necessary if some broken lpr/lpd client (I'm using NetParLpd on the Amiga if you want to know it) says that the file already has been filtered and should be sent to the printer as is. You may also find this useful if you have a filter configured that uses magicfilter and should never be bypassed (such as detecting evil postscript code etc.). License is GPL, and yes, I had fun writing that description.

My current efforts can be found here: http://www.ccur.com/realtime/oss These are clean-room implementations of similar tools that have been available in our proprietary *nix for quite some time, and so the interfaces have a fair amount of mileage under their belts. Note that the scope is somewhat wider than just MP. There has been some discussion of "chaff" and other interfaces recently on this list, so in an effort to hopefully move towards a standard more quickly I've gotten permission from my employer to GPL the code I've written. I'm very interested in comments and feedback on any or all of this work. Here's the README file from the package: This package contains: run(1) A multiprocessor control command line tool. mpadvise(3) A multiprocessor control library interface. These services rely upon Robert Love's CPU Affinity patch (version 2.4.16-1 was used for testing) which is available here: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml/cpu-affinity/v2.4/ To build the code, simply unpack it and type "make". The code has been tested on Red Hat 7.1 and 7.2 systems, though it is still fairly new and almost certainly contains bugs. An attempt was made to abstract the "cpuset" representation of the current system in order to have binaries that in theory could work on systems with more than 32 cpus. For this to work, the run(1) command would need to be linked against a shared mpadvise(3) library (currently only a static library is made). This code is being released in the hopes that it will become the basis for the Linux multiprocessor control standard interfaces. I am very interested in getting feedback on this package, so please contact me via email or LKML if you have any. This source code is licensed under the GNU GPL Version 2.

Hi, I've just seen your ITP is already some time old. For i have just today been approached by the upstream of spandsp to do the deb for YATE, I had put a new copy together myself already. Yet as I now see your wnpp bug, I'd like to crosscheck with mine and add the asterisk-fax to the one that should be uploaded. The package is already built and uploaded, currently in the NEW queue and hence inaccessible from incoming. I have uploaded my packages to http://people.debian.org/~sjr/ (the glitch in the rules file that updates the wrong config.guess/config.sub files is already corrected in my local copy). I've put my deb into pkg-voip svn to have it together with YATE and asterisk. Please comment if you'd like to maintain it when uploaded (in pkg-voip or standalone) or if you'd prefer it maintained by me. I did the initial packaging as I work for a VoIP company and need the package on a daily basis. In fact I don't really care who maintains the package since it is not overly complicated, but I do prefer it to be done by someone on non-i386 (as you might guess from the .diff.gz).

Bug#330125: status of toolchain-source?
Hi, Martin Michlmayr schrieb: > BTW, it seems most of this stuff is not needed anymore. the GCC > package in Debian can easily build a cross-compiler now thanks to the > work by some Emdebian bloke. The same needs to be done for binutils. I think the most important aspect of that is the gcc-4.1-source package, as with that you can create a small package that just contains the necessary scripting to fully bootstrap a cross compiler. So far, toolchain-source both provided the source and the scripting, in order to really get the same functionality, we'd need to merge the "build scripting from template" stuff into the gcc package as well. In general I would agree that merging is good. One of my packages requires a compiler for i386-linux to build, another is going to require a compiler for arm-linux, it would be good if there were a way to do this sanely (for various levels of sanely, I'm currently thinking about Build-Depends-Indep: gcc-i386-cross | gcc-source [!i386], binutils-i386-cross | binutils-source [!i386] and simply building the necessary cross compiler from debian/rules) > Have you looked at how GCC does it now? It's really trivial. Bootstrapping is nontrivial these days, because someone fscked up the gcc build, so it no longer suffices to call the "all-host" rule to get a freestanding compiler you could use for kernel and libc, and then return to the gcc tree and invoke the "all" rule. Instead, you now need to configure gcc as freestanding, no shared libs, and compile your kernel and libc with that, then throw away your compiler and start anew. What would be needed is a way to build a freestanding compiler, then later on add libcs to the existing package, probably by editing the specs file.

Bug#262032: where to find your spandsp deb?
Hi, I've just seen your ITP is already some time old. For i have just today been approached by the upstream of spandsp to do the deb for YATE, I had put a new copy together myself already. Yet as I now see your wnpp bug, I'd like to crosscheck with mine and add the asterisk-fax to the one that should be uploaded. The package is already built and uploaded, currently in the NEW queue and hence inaccessible from incoming. I have uploaded my packages to http://people.debian.org/~sjr/ (the glitch in the rules file that updates the wrong config.guess/config.sub files is already corrected in my local copy). I've put my deb into pkg-voip svn to have it together with YATE and asterisk. Please comment if you'd like to maintain it when uploaded (in pkg-voip or standalone) or if you'd prefer it maintained by me. I did the initial packaging as I work for a VoIP company and need the package on a daily basis. In fact I don't really care who maintains the package since it is not overly complicated, but I do prefer it to be done by someone on non-i386 (as you might guess from the .diff.gz). Simon

I think the main problem is that "good" is a subjective term, so people who believe that they are doing "good" feel entitled to use the work, and others who disagree with their views will claim that they are in breach of the licence. Who gets to be the authority on what is "good"? I'd also prefer if people would not use my software for causes I find objectionable, but I don't think I can even do so much as draw a clear line what constitutes "use". For example, I've written a tiny script that will take your GPG key and produce a printable file with the important data of the key arranged so that you can easily create bits of paper to hand out at keysigning events. Now, people are using this to establish secure communication channels, which can be used for any kind of purpose, including conspiring to commit crime. Am I at fault for not excluding this in the licence? Have I facilitated that crime because I made it easier for the criminals to conspire?

Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi, as announced last week, I'd like to find a new maintainer for the Swedish voice prompts for Asterisk. The current package is technically the newest version available, but I doubt that Asterisk hasn't gained a significant amount of new features in the last four years, so several "standard" prompts may me missing now. The packaging itself is simple, as only a bunch of data files needs to be installed, so it is suitable for beginners. The major difficulty in maintaining the package is that you cannot easily fix problems in upstream's data, given that they are voice recordings -- so apart from packaging technicalities, the central maintenance task is communication with upstream. There is one open bug, related to voicemail prompts; I'm currently unsure whether it is trivial or would require upstream action. The packager should ideally speak Swedish natively, both to verify issues with the package and for easier communication with upstream; also, experience with Asterisk is a major bonus. It should be possible to maintain this package as part of the VoIP team or on your own, depending on your preference; as far as I know, the team does not have a native Swedish speaker, so they can only help with technical issues (their build system is not for the faint of heart, though).

Okay, but what does it do? This is a bunch of buzzwords :/ Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

My point is that the description should not be a sales pitch, but rather an objective account of what the software can and cannot do. Think of it from the point of view of the administrator tasked with deciding which software to use -- most likely she won't care that this is the most "flexible" solution, but rather whether it will get the job done. While packages are a great way of reducing the time to install the software, it still requires a lot of time to try out a particular piece of software. I generally start with those that I know have the features I require, which should be clear from the description.

Shall I re-submit the ITP with the > more "down to earth" description that I sent in the previous email? No, just use the new description. The ITP bug has no technical meaning, it is just to avoid having two people work on the same package and catch some things like weird licences early on (because the initial mail is copied to the developer mailing list), but technically it is a bug the maintainer opens and closes, with no one else involved.
