Bug#969416: LinuxCNC is coming to Debian

[Steffen Möller]

Petter kindly got in touch about me supporting the LinuxCNC developers
in their packaging and an eventual upload to Debian. So, it is happening
and we happily close this RFP with the upload. The package will be
maintained by the LinuxCNC developers as DMs with me (or Petter, I
presume) sponsoring in the meantime.

Bug#961233: ITP: jsmn -- header-only JSON library

[Steffen Möller]

Package: wnpp
Owner: Steffen Moeller 
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : jsmn
  Version : 1.1.0
  Upstream Author : Serge A. Zaitsev
* URL : https://github.com/zserge/jsmn
* License : MIT
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : header-only JSON library
 Philosophy
 .
 Most JSON parsers offer you a bunch of functions to load JSON data,
 parse it and extract any value by its name. jsmn proves that checking
 the correctness of every JSON packet or allocating temporary objects
 to store parsed JSON fields often is an overkill.
 .
 JSON format itself is extremely simple, so why should we complicate it?
 .
 jsmn is designed to be robust (it should work fine even with erroneous
 data), fast (it should parse data on the fly), portable (no superfluous
 dependencies or non-standard C extensions). And of course, simplicity is
 a key feature - simple code style, simple algorithm, simple integration
 into other projects.
 .
 Features
 .
  * compatible with C89
  * no dependencies (even libc!)
  * highly portable (tested on x86/amd64, ARM, AVR)
  * about 200 lines of code
  * extremely small code footprint
  * API contains only 2 functions
  * no dynamic memory allocation
  * incremental single-pass parsing
  * library code is covered with unit-tests

Bug#911162: pybel : BEL vs Babel

[Steffen Möller]

I messed this one up, biblical proportions, so to say, by confusing the 
BEL as in "Biological Expression Language" from github repository 
https://github.com/pybel/pybel with the module provided by OpenBabel, 
which is about reformatting molecular data between different formats 
(and a bit more). As embarrassing as this now is, as helpful can it 
possibly be for us to get it right.


PLIP demands the latter. And this apparently goes with 
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pybel.py of the python-openbabel package.


Just for the sake of completeness, there is also python-babel, which 
again is needed by sphinx.


So, let this ITP be about the BEL language's pybel. So, the package 
would be python-pybel with a description clearly indicating that this is 
very independent from the other *bel python packages.


Cheers,

Steffen

Bug#818605: ITP: dindel -- find insertions and deletions in biological sequences

[Steffen Möller]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Steffen Moeller 
 
* Package name: dindel
* URL : https://sites.google.com/site/keesalbers/soft/dindel
* License : GPL-3.0+
  Description : find insertions and deletions in biological sequences

 The packaging is ready and about to surface on the Debian Med git repository.

 Dindel is a program for calling small indels from short-read sequence
 data ('next generation sequence data'). It currently is designed to
 handle only Illumina data.
 .
 Dindel requires a BAM file containing the read-alignments as input. It
 then extracts candidate indels from the BAM file, and realigns the reads
 to candidate haplotypes consisting of these candidate indels. If there
 is sufficient evidence for an alternative haplotype to the reference,
 it will call an indel.
 .
 It is possible to test indels discovered with other methods using Dindel,
 for instance longer indels obtained through assembly methods. Dindel
 will then realign both mapped and unmapped reads to see if the candidate
 indel is supported by the reads.
 .
 Dindel outputs both genotype likelihoods and includes a script to
 convert these to a VCF file with indel and SNP calls.

Bug#816925: ITP: condetri -- Perl-based trimming of Illumina FASTQ files

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: condetri
  Version : 2.3

  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : Perl-based trimming of Illumina FASTQ files

There is no particular technical challenge in packaging a Perl
script with not dependencies. It is more about rendering the
community aware of this (published and referenced) tool to
increase flexibility in biological workflows.

The "trimming" is a means of quality control in next-generation
sequencing workflows, i.e. the quantification of the abundance
of transcripts or genomic fragments. This particular tool was
developed in the context of de novo genomic sequencing.

The package yet cannot be uploaded because of the license not

  Astrometry.net needs complete catalogs of star positions, which
  are provided with several resolutions in these packages.
 
 The uncompressed size of these catalogs upstream ranges from
 129 kBytes (1000 stars) to ~15 GB (200 million stars), with
 roughly doubling the number of stars with each step. Since it
 is not useful to put flood the Debian archive with Milky Way
 stars, I started a discussion on debian-devel [1]. However, until 
 there is a good solution, I would package a subset (total ~120 MB),
 which overs about 3 million stars. I still have no idea about the
 best way to split it into subpackages; probably I would combine the
 smallest catalogs into one 8 MB package, and then have one larger
 catalog per package (8 MB, 15 MB, 30 MB, 60 MB).
 
 Best regards
 
 Ole
 
 The package will be maintained within the Debian Astronomy Team.

Ciao Elena,

 any news on the status of this? I'm trying to use debian (instead of
 OpenWRT) on my ninux (italian community network) node and having 
 alfred would be quite useful.
 
 P.S. I've noticed that somebody from FreiFunkNord already did some 
 packaging (outside debian, it seems): do you know about it?

I presume that Alfred was already packaged independently
by a handful of people, including myself ;)  I would not want
to maintain the package for Debian but can perform the upload(s)
until a repective person is found. Can we (as in both the Debian
and Freifunk communities) win you as a package maintainer?

[Steffen Möller]

Hello,
 
 I just stumpled across your splash package that seems to be ready for 
 sponsoring since October last year [1].
 
 Maybe you already know that we have now a Debian Astronomy working group [2] 
 with a mailing list [3]. Could you imagine to move the packaging sources to 
 alioth.debian.org/git/debian-astro/packages/ ? This would allow a 
 collaborative maintenance, and would also increase the visibility of the 
 package.
 
 To get the package actually into Debian, could you also upload it to mentors 
 [4] and issue an Request For Sponsorship? This way your package would not get 
 forgotten again.
 
 I am not a Debian Developer yet, so I cannot sponsor your package myself. 
 Could please someone here consider sponsoring?

I can help with sponsoring once it is in the Debian-Astro repository - no need 
to go for mentors.

Best,

Steffen

  Description : Almighty Lightweight Fact Remote Exchange Daemon
 A.L.F.R.E.D. gathers status information in networks with dynamically
 chaing topologies, e.g. a Wifi mesh with mobile clients. It is a
 user space daemon for distributing arbitrary local information
 over the same mesh/network in a decentralized fashion. This data
 can be anything which appears to be useful - originally designed
 to replace the batman-adv visualization (vis), you may distribute
 hostnames, phone books, administration information, DNS information,
 the local weather forecast ...
 .
 Users may insert information by using the alfred binary on the command
 line, or use custom written programs to communicate with alfred directly
 through unix sockets. Once the local data is received, the alfred
 daemon takes care of distributing this information to other alfred
 servers on other nodes somewhere in the network. As addressing scheme
 IPv6 link-local multicast addresses are used which do not require any
 manual configuration. A user can request data from alfred, and will
 receive the information available from all alfred servers in the network.

  Feel free to rename yourself, but do not forget to remove me from
  the uploaders list.
  
  On my side I find these renamings harmful and illogical. The
  probability that people want to use both amaps on the same machine
  is close to zero, and the probability that users of both amaps will
  be annoyed by the rename is close to one. I think that these
  renamings are applied dogmatically in a way that makes Debian
  inferior. I do not want to participate to this.
 
 I can see, and sympathise, with several sides of this debate of what
 to do when two upstream projects choose the same executable name.
 However, I do think what Debian's historically been doing (i.e.,
 renaming even when upstream doesn't want to rename) is the right thing
 to do.
 
 Given projects foo and bar, which both provide an executable called
 yoyo, there is no way for everyone to be happy. Both foo's and bar's
 users are, presumably, used to calling it yoyo. Third party scripts
 will exist that invoke either using the name yoyo. Whichever yoyo
 Debian chooses to call by that name, some users will be surprised and
 unhappy.
 
 The standards FHS directory layout gives us four locations in which to
 put executabes: /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin. In theory we could
 then have four providers of yoyo, but that would be very confusing.
 Even using bin vs sbin is confusing: if you're used to running foo's
 yoyo as your normal user, it'll be quite a surprise when you try to
 run it as root and get bar's yoyo instead.
 
 We could have the foo and bar packages conflict with each other, and
 in some cases that might not be too bad. However, it would be really
 unfortunate for long-term quality, in my opinion, if Debian would
 start choosing to compromise like that. It may be true that the
 intersection of users of foo and bar are really rare, and that nobody
 much would suffer if they conflicted, but it sets a bad precedent.
 Conflicts in Debian are meant to be used for a specific reason: when
 two packages _can't_ be used together (at least not as packaged). If
 we use conflicts to resolve the yoyo for foo and bar, it means that we
 are willing to change the meaning of conflicts to also be allowed when
 we just can't be bothered to make difficult distro level integration
 decisions.
 
 Using conflicts doesn't solve the situation for users, anyway. bar's
 users will still be surprised by foo's yoyo, when they find it
 installed and it doesn't do what they thought it would. Of course,
 foo's users are in the same situation, if foo's yoyo gets renamed.
 
 For this reason, I think the best approach is to get at least one of
 foo's or bar's upstreams to rename their yoyo. If that can't happen, I
 further think it's better for Debian's users if Debian renames at
 least one of the yoyo's. Which one gets renamed will depend on
 circumstance. The default, historically, has been that the first yoyo
 in Debian keeps the name, and newer yoyos will be renamed. However, if
 bar is extremly popular, and foo is rarely used, then possibly foo's
 yoyo should be renamed. Or we could decide to rename both to avoid
 anyone being surprised by the wrong yoyo.
 
 Note that the Debian alternatives system can't be used for this,
 unless foo and bar are both basically implementing essentially the
 same interface for the same program, but that's rarely the case in
 these cases.
 
 Charles, I'm sorry to hear you think this approach is harmful to
 Debian and that you don't want to participate in doing them.

This is a very nice summary of Debian's way of avoiding the technical
conflict. And I am in perfect favour of it when the communities of the
two tools do overlap - but here this is not the case. Few in 
biocomputational services or research will be performing network 
penetration analyses - and if they are, they can just go and exchange
the installed packages for it for a few hours. 

Since those scientific tools are now usually called from some workflow
suite or larger externally provided scripts, with likely spurious error
messages, Debian renaming individual binaries will yield uncertainties,
fears and doubt over employing Debian in the community. And that is so
unfortunate. To give an example, I have my mathematical, medical and
botanical but

 I see from the NEW queue that this uses wxwidgets2.8:

 We're in the middle of a transition to eliminate wxwidgets2.8 from the

 it:
 
 https://release.debian.org/transitions/html/wxwidgets3.0.html
 
 Have you tried building wxastrocapture against wxwidgets3.0?

I admit that I was only caring for the bare essentials and had not tried 
3.0 compatibility. I'll go for it. Should it not be possible, we can also
remove wxAstroCapture again. Would be sad, though.

  Description : REST API to access Taverna Server instances

 A major challenge for computational molecular biology is the integration
 of data from many sources or services with data from local findinds.
 Originally with its focus on web services of bioinformatics, the work
 flow suite Taverna has now also grown towards arbitrary data sources,
 tools and user groups reach well into astronomy and health informatics.
 .
 Taverna allows for user-controlled local execution or for remote
 instances of the engine - both may be accessed throught Taverna's
 graphical user interface.  Remote installations are provided by Taverna
 servers. This Java library provides the complete API for connecting
 with Taverna Servers through their REST interface.

Bug#694418: Fwd: Bug#694418: ITP: fits -- Java library for the I/O handling of FITS files

[Steffen Möller]

Hello,

 as ole already mentioned the source package name is far too generic. I'm not 
familiar with java packaging policies, but I would also expect nom.tam to 
appear somewhere in the package name or description. It would make it clear on 
first sight which java fits library it is. 
 I coudl not find Ole's email or any other, but I just looked at
 http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/fits/java/v1.0
 and from there I would think that
 libfits-java
 would be fine. An alternative would possibly be
 libnasa-fits-java
 but in my perception this would overdo it. There is
 qfits-tools, python3-pyfits, libcfitsio3, libastro-fits-cfitsio-perl, 
fitscheck and tcl-fitstcl
 already in the archive.

 I am also with pkg-java. My suggestion would be to leave it with 
debian-science, though. If sponsoring is not yet settled, feel free contacting 
me.

 Many greetings

 Steffen

Bug#686000: RFH: zalign

[Steffen Möller]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hello,

I have prepared a package for zalign

Description: parallel local alignment of biological sequences
 zAlign is a local sequence aligner, especially intended for use with
 large biological DNA sequences, with more than 1Mbp (Millions of base
 pairs). It uses the Smith-Waterman exact algorithm with affine gap cost
 function to perform this task.
 .
 zAlign can be used both in distributed (clusters, for
 example) or standalone environments. Currently it has
 been tested on Linux and Sun Solaris, using both the MPICH
 (http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpi/mpich1/) and OpenMPI
 (http://www.open-mpi.org/) implementations. Ports for other Unix-like
 environments are highly considered.

in some still rudimentary way, just for local needs. If anybody felt
like improving packaging so it can be uploaded to the distribution,
this would be excellent. I am around for mentoring. Build instructions
are placed with Debian Med at
 
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-med/trunk/packages/zalign/trunk/debian/

Many thanks and kind regards,

Steffen

Bug#669917: ITP: soap2 -- SOAPaligner of short next generation sequencing data

[Steffen Möller]

Hi Thomas,
 Original-Nachricht 
[...]
  Description: insert up to 60 chars description
   SOAPaligner/soap2 is a member of the Short Oligonucleotide Analysis
   Package (SOAP)
 IMO, the package name is badly chosen. 99.99% of all Debian users
 will believe that this is something concerning the SOAP network
 protocol Simple Object Access Protocol.
 
 Would you mind to rename your package soapaligner?

Charge me up to those 99.99%, please. It always confuses me, too, particularly 
so since I was once helping the ever-ophaned gsoap package. I am less concerned 
about the package than with the binary, though.

There is SOAP 1,2 and 3 (with GPUs). Only v2 is called soapaligner from what I 
grasped.  genomics.cn-soap2 would be sufficiently distinctive and 
non-disrupting, I think. In the bio world that tool is fairly well known. Fine 
with you?

Steffen

 It seems like there is some danger of confusion with the typesetting

How about ztex-ezusb? It may indeed be better than a mere ztex, but not
because of the danger of confusion.

The likelihood of confusion seems to be not too large since we all know that 
there is no x in TeX.

Just do a web search for ztex and see what comes up.

 My reading of the dsfg would be that this academics only license would not

this is correct. The paml package goes to non-free, just like e.g. clustalw. We 
certainly hope that after some while upstream will
change that license to something that is free for everyone, but for the moment

 thanks for the ITP.
 
 As you can see at
 
http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/bio#paml
 
 this package is also provided by BioLinux people and I'd regard this as
 a really cool first step to integration if you would involve the
 maintainer inside BioLinux in the official Debian packaging.  I'd
 imagine that he and you are mentioned as Uploaders in a Debian Med group
 maintained package and you work as sponsor of him.

I have looked for their package but could not find it. The only reference
I saw is of version 4.4, and we aimed a 4.4c, so it could not be used
directly anyway.

I just met Pjotr at a meeting near Groningen. We did not have too much time
and we wanted to get this done quickly. Pjotr uses PAML actively for his
research and as such renders an excellent maintainer. We will find other
opportunities to collaborate more with BioLinux I then thought,
and our repository is open to them anyway, for them to improve whatever
they feel to have done a better job with.

Stuart, Oliver, Tim, I apologise should this effort have caused any
inconvenience for you. The packaging resides at
svn://svn.debian.org/svn/debian-med/trunk/packages/paml
and Tim may already have commit rights - I don't recall if he was
among those who I clicked through it when we met in Boston.

we were not particularly happy about it either, but
somehow lacked better ideas.

 I see several problems
 with this:

 1. We obviously don't really want old versions of libraries,
ack. it as a single reverse depedency which has bioperl1.2.3 as a single 
reverse dependency which has Ensembl as a single reverse
dependency.

 2. This package provides and conflicts with libwww-perl, that means
 2a. packages with versioned dependencies on libwww-perl will not be
co-installable with this package (this includes libbio-das-lite-perl
as well which I think is related to Ensemble/BioPerl and in NEW as
well).
 2b. might break packages that have an unversioned dependency on
libwww-perl, but expect a newer version.
we don't really need the Provides. This can go.

 As libwww-perl has many reverse dependencies ( 200 direct rdeps) this
 seems likely to me; I did not investigate how many packages have
 versioned dependencies on libwww-perl.

Ack. We'd reupload with the Provides gone ... and upload to experimental 
since we are in the freeze.

well spotted. As you may guess, we followed the file name. Since
others will have the same difficulty, I suggest to leave the source
name as it is name the package just like you say. I'd also want to
add a Provides to the libparallel-useragent-perl since people
are really looking for this ... Maybe the notion in the description
would be sufficient. But, an explicit provides probably helps.

 Another related question: Are there other modules that need the older
 version libwww-perl5.808-perl of libwww-perl besides this one?  At least
 bioperl1.2.3 in NEW lists the regular libwww-perl as an alternative as
 well so it seems not required there.

Sigh. Well. That old version of bioperl is the culprit of it all, and that
in turn is dragged in by Ensembl, which is just on the brink of being uploaded.
In an Ensembl production environment you would not use the bioperl  1.2.3 .
And bioperl1.2.3 needs the liblwp-parallel-perl. When you know what you are
using, you may possibly have something sufficiently working without the need
to uninstall the current libwww-perl with the many reverse dependencies.
But this should not be the default. The real audience for this package though
are dedicated machines, real or virtual, that don't have much more than Ensembl
installed. The |libwww-perl took a very pragmatic stance.

What should happen over the next couple of months/years though is to have the
need for those older packages to disappear. But this needs more time than
we should allow Ensembl to remain outside of our distro.

Many thanks and regards

Steffen

 This code is neutral as to numeric type. The coordinate values used in
 interpolation may be native Perl numbers, Math::BigRat objects, or possibly
 other types. Mixing types within a single interpolation is not recommended.

  Description : Java wrapper for FreeType font handling library

 The PDF rendering of the Open Source efforts of the company intarsys
 was in demand of a good font handling library. This new development was
 motivated by observations that current solutions
  * only have poor support for VM
  * there is no plain Java library around
  * extends the de factor standard C library FreeType
 This library wraps around the functions that were important for
 using isNativeC (another library of the same company) and were ready
 to run on all FreeType supported platforms.
 .
 While this wrapper-library binds and uses only a very small subset
 of the FreeType features available, to the degree that it is needed
 for the jPodRenderer, it should be no problem to use and enhance
 this implementation in other contexts.

 The isrt.jar, also isRuntime, the basic runtime library used within all 
 intarsys projects.
 The latter are contributing to the handling of PDFs and a dependency of 
 later versions of PDFsam.
 This name seems pretty generic to me (rt → real-time/run-time), wouldn't
 it be better to use something like libisrt-java?
 
 There's also RT aka Request-Tracker (apt-cache search request-tracker)

This was just a typo in my ITP - libisrt-java is the package name.

Thanks and greetings

Steffen

Bug#565748: ITP: libisnativec-java -- helper routines to access native code from Java

[Steffen Möller]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Steffen Möller steffen_moel...@gmx.de

* Package name: libisnativec-java
  Version : 5.2
* URL : 
http://opensource.intarsys.de/home/en/index.php?n=OpenSource.IsCWT
* License : BSD-like
  Programming Lang: Java
  Description : helper routines to access native code from Java

 A solution completely written in Java to access native code.
 Features:
  * Java side declaration, no C compiler
  * Clean design
  * Transparent, easy deployment
  * Platform independent
  * Fast
 The effort relies on a combination of upstream's custom design for
 the call interface, memory abstraction and data structures and the
 basic native binding provided by any third party (currently jna).

* License : BSD
  Programming Lang: Java
  Description : abstraction and implementations for rendering PDF

 To built a flexible PDF rendering one first needed some basics
 functionality to deal with fonts, images and general platform
 abstractions. The result is isCWT. It contains all abstraction and
 implementations needed for rendering PDF that are not related to PDF
 itself.  This library is built and used primarily for jPod Renderer,
 so one is likely to miss some features when using it in another context.

Bug#515971: euca2ools are an alternative

[Steffen Möller]

Hello,

sid now has the euca2ools package, see 
http://packages.debian.org/de/sid/euca2ools which is a Free reimplementation of 
what Amazon develops. More on http://www.eucalyptus.com .

The server bits of Eucalyptus are also on their way to Debian Main. This 
promises a transient extension of local infrastructure with what Amazon offers.
