Bug#1062800: RFP: pyside6 -- Qt6 for Python

2024-06-03 Thread Stuart Prescott

Control: retitle 1062800 ITP: pyside6 -- Qt6 for Python

There is substantial work towards packaging at:

https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/qt6/pyside6

The package is built for Qt 6.6 which is in experimental; the package is 
approximately ready for upload to NEW.


Maintainers who know the Qt stack and understand the details of how 
pyside works are desperately needed. Please join the Qt/KDE packaging 
team (if not already a member) and add yourself to d/control!

I see rapidfuzz has cleared NEW.


In the interest of making some progress towards the autoremovals that 
are queued up behind levenshtein's removal from testing, I've updated 
levenshtein in git as a Team Upload and uploaded the package to 
experimental. It now needs to clear NEW itself (since it has grown a 
-doc package now that it has more extensive documentation via sphinx).



Once levenshtein has cleared NEW and landed in experimental, we'll be 
able to see how rdeps go with the new version too, prior to pushing such 
a big update to unstable. Prior to landing in unstable, it should get 
some humans listed in Uploaders too. I wasn't sure who really wanted 
their name in there and since no-one had done so in git yet, I didn't 
make assumptions about who that would be.

   This library helps with the mapping of country names to their respective

   There is also support for fuzzy matching, which uses a heuristic based on

I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.


I wonder if this upstream and pycountry would be interested in

Bug#859199: ITP: dh-curl-sudo-bash -- debhelper tools for automated non-packaging

2017-03-31 Thread Stuart Prescott
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Stuart Prescott <stu...@debian.org>

* Package name: dh-curl-sudo-bash
  Version : 1.1
  Upstream Author : Lars Wirzenius <l...@liw.fi> and Stuart Prescott 
<stu...@debian.org>
* URL : http://deb.li/U67E
* License : BSD 3 clause
  Programming Lang: POSIX shell, Perl
  Description : debhelper tools for automated non-packaging

The dh-curl-sudo-bash package provides a build-system method for debhelper
that automates the non-packaging of programs for which the preferred form of
distribution is the sequence

"curl http://example.com/setup.sh | sudo bash -"

dh-curl-sudo-bash causes debhelper to create a maintainer post-install script
that runs the above command on the target machine when the package is installed.
Running dpkg-reconfigure is therefore enough to upgrade the package too, thus
preventing problems with upgrades. The dh-curl-sudo-bash source package
Build-Depends on devscripts so that uscan can be embedded into the postinst to
find the correct URL for upgrades.

Example usage:

  debian/rules:

  %:
  dh $@ --buildsystem=curl_sudo_bash

  debian/curl_sudo_bash.watch:

  http://example.com/setup-(.*\..*).sh

For completeness, other shells can also be selected by exporting the variable
DH_CURL_SUDO_SHELL from debian/rules:

export DH_CURL_SUDO_SHELL=mksh

A future extension to dh-curl-sudo-bash is planned that will permit any github
repository to be automatically (non-)packaged; the following version will
iterate over all github and gitlab repositories packaging everything available.

We anticipate that this will make all other Debian Developers redundant as
from now on the only thing that is now required to make high quality packages
for Debian is to include the relevant URL. This package also obsoletes the
previous apt-gentoo package.

Bug#657499: #657499: ITP: pootle -- Web-based translation and translation management tool

2014-07-28 Thread Stuart Prescott
Hi Gianfranco,

 I think now we have both django and python-django-south ready in testing,
 can we try again with pootle?

The current release of pootle is not compatible with the version of django 
that is in sid. This is an on-going problem with django and short of 
introducing multiple django packages into debian, I don't know how we are 
going to solve it. The cadence of deprecation of APIs within django is simply 
faster than the pootle developers seem to be able to keep pace with and the 
eagerness of the django maintainers to track new upstream releases leaves us 
in a very difficult position.

cheers
Stuart

Bug#657499: #657499: ITP: pootle -- Web-based translation and translation management tool

2014-07-28 Thread Stuart Prescott
Hi Gianfranco,

 Oh... so seems that the django version is not too old to be useless, but
 too new, right?

that's correct

The django people have a pretty rigorous deprecation schedule where they mark 
parts of the API as deprecated for a period of time prior to actual removal. 
The intention of this is to give users of this code time to adjust. The 
problem is that the scale and speed of the changes is still mismatched to what 
upstreams like pootle can manage.

I don't think an embedded copy of django is something we want to deal with so 
I'm not even entertaining this thought just yet.

thanks for prodding again on this... we might yet come up with a solution to 
the problem some how!

cheers
Stuart

Hi all,

On Tue, 8 Oct 2013 05:56:14 Teemu Ikonen wrote:
[...]
 All included code is from an older version than the latest levmar-2.6, so
 making levmar useful in Debian would require a considerable amount of
 forward porting and fixing of upstream sources. On the other hand, having
 the same code in six source packages is already a pretty bad case of
 duplication.

When I looked at levmar a few years ago I had the distinct impression that its 
authors really wanted it to be statically linked. The result of that is the 
multitude of different (patched) versions of levmar that you see embedded in 
different projects. There's a lot of work to do to convince the upstreams of 
freemat, hugin, meshlab, sextractor, starlink-ast, stimfit and teem that they 
want to work with a non-patched and up-to-date levmar instead of just 
continuing with their own versions.

Levmar upstream does have some support for building a shared object but I 
didn't feel confident that sovers would be properly managed and I didn't want 
to take on that responsibility myself which is why I abandoned my previous 
efforts with levmar too.

(just an added data point for anyone thinking of taking up packaging levmar)

thanks for your offer -- packaging pootle is currently stalled on its django

For now, I think it's worth trying to get whatever packaging we can done,

 some of the other vi clones such as elvis and vim. However, if all
 you want is vi, this is the one to get.

Description-en: discover and fingerprint IKE hosts (IPsec VPN Servers)
 ike-scan discovers IKE hosts and can also fingerprint them using the
 retransmission backoff pattern.
 .
 ike-scan does two things:
 .
 a) Discovery: Determine which hosts are running IKE.
This is done by displaying those hosts which respond to the IKE requests
sent by ike-scan.
.
 b) Fingerprinting: Determine which IKE implementation the hosts are using.
This is done by recording the times of the IKE response packets from the
target hosts and comparing the observed retransmission backoff pattern
against known patterns.
.
The retransmission backoff fingerprinting concept is discussed in more
detail in the UDP backoff fingerprinting paper which should be included
in the ike-scan kit as udp-backoff-fingerprinting-paper.txt.

These files are used by the GNU gettext translation functions and tools in many
different development environments.

Checks include: incorrect or inconsistent character encoding, missing headers,
incorrect language codes and improper plural forms.

This tool was formerly known as gettext-inspector.

2012-12-27 Thread Stuart Prescott
 How does it compare with msgfmt? Translators usually use msgfmt to
 check for errors right now.

Indeed,... and a run of i18nspector over po files in the archive shows lots of 
problems. i18nspector tests much more than msgfmt -- it simply catches lots of 
problems that msgfmt misses. Perhaps the easiest thing to do is to show what 
the two tools say about a couple of random .po files I have here from another 
project:

$ msgfmt -c reports.po 
reports.po:7: header field `Project-Id-Version' still has the initial default 
value

$ i18nspector reports.po 
W: reports.po: boilerplate-in-project-id-version 'PACKAGE VERSION'
W: reports.po: invalid-last-translator 'Automatic '
W: reports.po: boilerplate-in-language-team 'LANGUAGE l...@li.org'
W: reports.po: unusual-character-in-translation U+009F control character APC: 
'Ã\x9f'

(where reports.po was UTF-8 encoded but the header claimed it to be 
ISO-8859-1)

Bug#657499: Bug#677319: ITP: pootle -- Web-based translation and translation management tool

2012-06-13 Thread Stuart Prescott

forcemerge 657499 677319
thanks

Hi Martin,

As you know, there is already working packaging for pootle 2.1.6 in the 
package subversion:

http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-l10n/pootle/trunk/

it needs updating for the recent upload of the python-djblets package which 
removes the need for pootle to carry some 3rd party libraries.

However, pootle 2.1.6 is not compatible with django 1.4 which will ship with 
wheezy. At this stage, there's no new upstream release for django 1.4 so I 
think we're too late for wheezy. When pootle supports django 1.4, we can 
always offer that to wheezy users through wheezy-backports.

cheers
Stuart

Bug#657499: python-django-djblets and pootle

2012-02-04 Thread Stuart Prescott
Hi Dmitry!

It's great to see that you're looking at packaging these modules. For purely 
historical reasons, they are currently sitting as embedded copies in our 
pootle packages that we will hopefully upload to unstable soon. When your 
packages are ready, we can have the pootle package depend on them instead of 
using the embedded copies.

Our current djblets are in 

http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/debian-

If I can be of assistance with this packaging, please feel free to contact me.

Dear Martin,

I'm glad to find more DDs interested in Pootle. There is indeed activity aimed 
at getting pootle back into debian:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-l10n-devel/2011-

I think what the packages need at this stage is testing (in particular, 
upgrade testing). If you're in a position to help with that, then that would 
be wonderful.

Bug#546202: levmar package question

2010-08-31 Thread Stuart Prescott
Hi!

I have indeed done a little work on packaging levmar for debian but my efforts 
stalled in the following places:

* it seems that the upstream developers see levmar as some code you include in 
some other project not as a shared library. They have at least started 
providing a so-producing makefile, but I'm not sure how committed to binary 
compatibility they are.

* I wasn't sure that SONAMEs were being bumped correctly and I don't yet know 
enough about SONAMEs to do this confidently on my own, so it slipped down my 
priority list somewhat.

* I originally thought that there were several users of levmar already in 
debian but when I went looking there appears to only be one (hugin) which is 
using a heavily modified, very old internal copy of levmar and the prospects 
of getting hugin to use a shared library version of levmar seem slim in the 
short term at least.

* I tried to contact the upstream authors of levmar to talk to them about 
packaging their library and to start developing a working relationship with 
them but never received a reply to my emails.

Having said that, levmar still looks like interesting code and it might be 
useful to have it in debian anyway, although the general rule that it's not 
worth packaging a library until there is some other package in debian to use 
it make me wonder if it's worth it at this stage. Chicken and egg.

I'd like to revisit levmar once squeeze is released and see if hugin can start 
using a newer version of levmar as a shared object instead. I'd be looking 
for someone with more experience in packaging libraries to help me with this 
though.

cheers
Stuart

Bug#575162: texify upstream

2010-03-26 Thread Stuart Prescott

From the copyright file for this package:

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/t/texify/current/copyright

,--
| It was copied from /local/snacks/bin/ from the computers at 
| the Department of informatics, at the University of Oslo.
`-

Which, is where the previous Debian maintainer is (or was) located.

With this maintainer retiring from Debian, it would seem that there is no 
longer any access to the upstream for this package.

Any prospective adopter should (a) see if the Department of informatics at the 
University of Oslo is interested in becoming an upstream for this package 
themselves (seems unlikely) or (b) be prepared to be both upstream and Debian 
maintainer. 

The package has relatively few bugs historically and a non-zero (but not huge) 
popcon so it can probably continue as a QA case for a while even if 
considered dead-upstream.

cheers
Stuart
