Bug#455325: wicd, are you going to be the maintainer?
Hi David I noticed that wicd has been uploaded to debian now. Is it your intention to be the maintainer from this point forward? My own availability is a little limited so I am very happy it has found a maintainer. Do I need to do anything to help? If it is not your intention to be the maintainer, let me know and I'll push it up my priority stack. Regards, Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

David, I have been on travel (story of my life :-) since changing the status of wicd to ITP and so have made little progress on the package. If you are already working with upstream and have packing ready to go it is probably better if I back out and let you become the maintainer for wicd. If you are still interested I urge you to move quickly, this is a very good package and needs to be uploaded as soon as possible. If you no longer want wicd, let me know and I'll continue my packaging work. Warm regards, Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#311373: Still interested in this package?
Reinhard Tartler([EMAIL PROTECTED])@2006-01-13 10:54: This bug has been left open for a really long time, do you still intend to maintain it? Hi there.. My original intention was to wait until my long standing debian application completed and then do the packaging but the application process seems to be rather FUBAR. Both my NM and also the sponsorship of my other packages are both in a frustrating quagmire because the other folks involved are so very slow. FYI I hit the same problem with another package (spca5xx) which had other interested parties. I ended up creating an alioth account and now several people are maintaining that package. It worked out really well. Let me ask ... Does collab-maint involve more than just creating an alioth account? Either way, I am very happy to create such an account for wifi-radar or even hand over the ITP. Wifi-radar is a very useful tool which IMHO really must be included in etch. My struggles with NM and sponsorship should not get in the way. BTW wifi-radar is already packaged in ubuntu and the package (to my eye) looks okay so I was planning to just import that package into Debian. I don't have time to reinvent the wheel! I may end up dropping my Debian activities anyway ... I have started to look into joining Ubuntu instead - the NM process has pretty much tested my patience to the limit. Although there have been no issues, my application has been in the works since 2004-01-28. Life is too short :-) Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#311373: Still interested in this package?
Reinhard Tartler([EMAIL PROTECTED])@2006-01-13 11:58: it is a completly new project, we'll see how it will evolve. We would need an sponsor anyway, but there are some interested DDs for that. You need an alioth account and contact then Raphael Hertzog to add you to the team. I do already have an alioth account, I needed one to get spca5xx uploaded - but my account is a -guest account. I will upload the current ubuntu package to collab-main svn then. Cool. Would you mind putting a 'closes #311373' in the changelog to close the ITP please. I was involved when reviewing and eventually uploading it to ubuntu, I use it from time to time on my ubuntu laptop. Well then I owe you a thank you I use the package on my Ubuntu machines. Sounds like wifi-radar in Debian is in good hands with you behind it. Excellent! I'm currently on the other way round: in order to help ubuntu further, I started NM myself in order to bring packages like wifi-radar to debian. This is one pice on my fight to lower divergence :) Good for you ... I am 100% behind that. Ubuntu is doing a really great job and all involved should be PROUD. But it would be a shame if Ubuntu did diverge into a fork. Collaboration like yours is the key. Good luck with your NM - I think it all comes down to the people involved. If you get a responsive AM it will go smoothly. Although my AM is a top-notch guy (Joerg) he is just badly over extended hence the very slow progress.

Hi Guys Just to bring you all up to date. We have been using SVN on svn.debian.org to coordinate the package and will be maintaining it as a team using Alioth at: https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-spca5xx/ If you wish you can check out the source from svn+alioth://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-spca5xx/spca5xx/. Don't go to the alioth CVS archives, we will be deleting those, consider them obsolete. The package itself was uploaded to Debian on Saturday night by Otavio who helped review and polish the code, thanks Otavio. The biggest thankyou must go to Kel who did an absolutely first class job of creating this package in the first place. I am certain you will like what you see of his work.

Bug#304819: spca5xx debian package
Hi Kel and Itay One of the packages I have been planning for Debian is the spca5xx package for which I filed a ITP some time back. Since I believed my NM application was shortly to be completed I decided to not use my normal sponsor for this package preferring to wait until I could do my own uploads. Here is the ITP and associated comments: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=304819 To my dismay the NM process is still not complete, the AM just has too much work on his plate to complete the application. Recently several people have talked to me about using my sponsor for the spca5xx package and not keep waiting for the NM queue. Okay .. so I am now moving on this and want to get the package in Debian ASAP. Rechecking the ITP I noticed that Itay Ben-Yaacov pointed out that you guys both have a package already complete. There is no point in reinventing the wheel so Id like to use your work. I plan on dropping the changelog (if that is ok) entries but, of course, give full credit in the README. I am writing to make sure you are okay with this direction and to make sure you are happy with the approach. If you guys want to help with this (or even co-maintain) I'll put the package online for your review before uploading to my sponsor. Since you guys have already done the hard work it should be up quite soon. Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#304819: spca5xx debian package
Kel Modderman([EMAIL PROTECTED])@2005-09-23 04:16: Sounds like a crap idea to me. I don't care whether my particular package has never had contact with the official debian distribution before. I've tried my best to improve on my package with each release and adhere to the strict debian policies in part of the effort to make Kanotix 100% debian. Even if a package does not come from the official debian repositories, its up to Stefan and I to make sure it is of debian standard in every way. Having said that, should our efforts not be documented as if this was going to be released into debian itself? Yup .. this idea was bad. Changelog stays as is. Sure, make an Alioth account, I'd love to share the experience of maintaining a quality package with other people who share the same enjoyment and freedom that debian gives them. Excellent!! Well, I made a few small updates in the past hour to my package to make it more suitable to enter debian and am confident that my work is of high enough quality to make it trivial to add the finishing touches (depending on your packaginging style perhaps). That is not assuming anything about the work of the other gentlemen in this equation, Itay, who seems to have been made uncomfortable by previous dealings with prospective DD(s). I tried to make it clear that I approaching this in a friendly manner and am still not sure how I upset. The changelog idea was bad - but I meant no harm. Likewise, I have been introduced into the world of debian development in a sour way. The pkg-madwifi project on Alioth is based on my efforts and I did not even have the opportunity of being able to reply to the wannabe maintainers request to snatch my efforts, so for sending this message to me is appreciated. (Even now I do not have write access to that svn repository) Well ... I had no intention of snatching anybody's efforts. I was actually trapped in this thing by my naive expectation that the NM process would complete in a reasonable time frame. Anyway, to cut the story short, I don't want to have another bad experience, so just put the project into svn on Alioth. Let everybody look at it, propose some items that could be improved or worked on and discuss what actually needs to be done and by who. I have started the process by applying for the account. Assuming it is approved we will all have full access. Thanks, Kel. Thank you. Steve -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Wow .. another interested party .. Hi Martin! Martin Samuelsson([EMAIL PROTECTED])@2005-09-05 10:32: Stephen Birch @ 2005-09-05 (Monday), 00:30 (-0700) [snip] I propose a compromise. If for some reason my NM is not complete two months from now I'll contact you again and send you the package with a sponsorship request. That way the package will be in Debian for at least a year before etch releases. By that time, it makes it almost seven months since your ITA was posted Yup ... and it makes 35 months since my NM application was submitted (2004-01-28). I have been told by many people that these are reasonable time frames for the Debian project. Can you guys see that the NM is horribly broken? It seems that people get upset if a package has to wait but nobody cares about the tedious delays inherent in the NM process. It isn't much fun being on this side of the fence. Maybe posting your packaging work for public review somewhere would be a good idea? Having a few more eyes inspecting the packaging could be a way to let others than the ftpmasters finding possible problems, thus lowering the time required in the new queue? Could you please consider publishing a preliminary package? Anyway ... it certainly is not my intention to use the ITP mechanism to hold a package ransom as a way of protesting the NM delays. Clearly there is strong demand for this package so I must capitulate and push this package up my priority list to the top. Otavio ... looks like you get to be the sponsor for this package. Is that still okay? The timing isn't great because I leave on a 10 day business trip tomorrow. I usually work on debian projects at the weekend while on travel so I should have something for you soon after I return. Is that ASAP enough? :-) I am going to initiate a conversation with Otavio to discuss the technical details of this package, this will not be copied to the BTS so if anybody else is interested let me know and I'll copy them.

Bug#304819: spca5xx upload
Thanks for the sponsorship offer Otavio but I already have a sponsor for my other packages and have decided to not take on more sponsors for new packages since my debian application is so close to being complete. However .. if Joerg is still stalled when we get close to releasing etch I'd like to take you up on the sponsor offor at that time. Would that be ok? I don't want etch to release without this package. For now, I don't see that there is a need to panic, etch is at least a year away. This will probably make your process faster since people will see your work going inside of project. Hmm .. I already have my work going inside the project. Although vobcopy may not be a big league app quite a few people are using it. The application isn't held up by people but by one busy person, the AM. Joerg has just been too busy to process his queue but has promised to complete the appication soon. Since I have completed Advocate Check, ID Check, PP, TS it really is almost done.

I can guess from previous posts to this bug, and private mails, that he has lost some of his faith with Debian. As long as he intends to package it I think he should.

Bug#299107: ITP: xiron -- ruby interface for xine-library for displaying video
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: xiron Version : 0.1.2 Upstream Author : guenter at users.sourceforge.net * URL : http://xiron.sf.net * License : GPL Description : ruby interface for xine-library for displaying video This is an extension to ruby which allows to use the xine-library to play media streams. this binding takes advantage from the unique features of ruby to provide an objectoriented, and easy-to-use interface to xine. the goal of the api-design is to be lightweight and as smart as possible but not outsmart the programmer. this api combined with the powerful features of the ruby language itself leads to a powerful development framework which makes the development of new media players surprisingly easy. xiron also provides some utility classes not directly related to xine but very usable for frontends. currently there is a class to handle mediamarks and playlists of various formats and an osd widget set to easily write purely osd-based front-ends like oxine. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: Any Locale: LANG=C, Ruby -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#284285: Acknowledgement (ITP: fairuce -- Spam filter based on sender identity verification)
More information 1. This was incorrectly named fairuse in ITP #284283. This ITP replaces the incorrect one. Correct name is fairuce (upstream calls it FairUCE). 2. Freshmeat announcement here: http://freshmeat.net/projects/fairuce/ 3. License concern The upstream license is free for non-commercial use. Can someone advise, is this DFSG. I would have thought *not* in which case I will contact upstream and request change or I'll close the ITP. How does Qt manage to be DFSG even though Troll chanrges for commercial use? Steve
Bug#284285: Dropping this
I have decided not to ITP this ... 1. Non-commercial use only license probably not DFSG 2. It turns out this is a Java application. Yuck. I dont do java. When I closed 284283 it also closed 284285 so I'll just leave them both closed. Steve
Bug#78687: (no subject)
I am not going to be able to work on this package after all. There are two reasons. 1. Insufficient time to pick up another package 2. The package nagios has solved my own diagnostic problem. Steve

This isn't really a tool of the same genre as the apt toolset and the name is misleading. I also agree that something that mentions packages would be good.
