 I see that you have not filed an ITP for neko, which is not in wnpp or
 in Debian. Do you intend to do so? I had intended to package neko in
 order to package haxe, but have been busy with NM and stuff. It seems
 that there is a reasonable amount of interest in osflash stuff in the
 debian community, but not much interest in debian packages in the
 osflash community. I think the debian interest warrants starting the
 TODO items on this page though:
 
 http://osflash.org/debian_packaging
 
 The way I see a pkg-flash project working is similar to pkg-perl - we
 keep the debian directories in SVN, have primary maintainer(s) for each
 package and welcome work by the whole group on all the packages. Here is
 pkg-perl's SVN docs:
 
 http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/subversion.html
 
 I've just submitted a project registration request at alioth. About the
 mailing list, I would prefer it to be [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Until the project gets bigger, I think it can be used for discussion as
 well as in the maintainer address of packages, later on we can use an
 alioth list for the maintainer address.

Please add me to that project. I am definitively interested, altough i am not
sure yet where exactly i can help.

I may be able to even find some real ressources to help on this in around a
year or so, nothing is sure yet though.

  Hi,
  
  In the recent 10.X series, kernel package has started
   producing image packages whose maintainer scripts use debconf for
   user interaction.  Unfortunately, this meant that any hook scripts
   called in the maintainer scripts for the image package (update-grub
   comes to mind), if they wrote anything at all to the STDout, would
   cause debconf to throw hissy fits, since it was expecting commands on
   STDOUT, not random chatter from the hook scripts.
  
  One solution was to call db_stop before calling the hook
   scripts, and redirecting stdout to stderr  in hte invocation of the
   scripts. Unfortunately, this made any scripts that used debconf
   impossible.
 
 Notice that the debconf helper scripts provide stdout on 3, so any scripts
 writing to stdout only need to redirect their output to 3, no ? 
 
 Another idea would be to have some tag or something to declare if the script
 uses debconf or not, and to do the redirection depending on that ? It could be
 parsing for something like :
 
 comment delimiter KPKG-TAG: debconf
 
 (where comment delimiter is # for shell scripts, obviously).
 
 This would allow for the most flexibility, and still work out fine, and
 parsing would be a simple grep command, so rather cheap (if grep
 KPKG-TAG.*debconf; then debconf stuff; else non-debconf stuff; fi)
 
 Oh and BTW, 10.023 did not fix the mkvmlinuz problem, not sure if you saw me
 reopening the bug reports. I will try to investigate this on tuesday, altough
 i am really lost about this and help will be welcomed.
 
 For powerpc users, a workaround is to remove the debconf stuff by hand. There
 are two scripts : 
 
 /etc/kernel/postinst.d/mkvmlinuz and /etc/kernel/prerm.d/mkvmlinuz
 
 And the best way is to replace the lines : 
 
   . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
 
   db_get mkvmlinuz/bootloaders
   bootloader=$RET
 
 by :
 
   bootloader=your_choice
 
 Where your_choice is yaboot on pmac and rs6k, and mkvmlinuz otherwise.

 Hi Sven,
 
 You've orphaned kernel-patch-powerpc-2.4.27 and kernel-patch-powerpc-2.6.8,

 Who in your mind should be listed as the maintainer of these packages if not
 either yourself or the Debian Kernel Team?

The debian kernel team will handle most stuff in the kernel-source package
itself, and i have arranged a powerpc pegasos box for simon horms, who should
be back in a week or two, and he will do the actual builds of the kernels. I
will help with the .config maintenance, as best i can, but all this should
really be automated, since the only thing needed is a rebuild in case a new
kernel-source is released.

 They've been orphaned for nearly a month, and they're at the top of the list
 of packages that need to be uploaded with their maintainer set to the QA
 group, but this doesn't seem to be the right thing to happen in my mind.

I don't intent to do an upload with QA as kernel ackages are in deep freeze,
and affect d-i and stuff.

Furthermore the maintainers are already marked as the kernel maintainer team,
so ...

No off to the airport, see you in two days or so ...

Bug#262885: parted co-maintainership.

2004-11-04 Thread Sven Luther
Hello,

I have missed your offer for help (next time write to bugnumber-submitter),
but am indeed interested in it.

I have set up a parted project on alioth, which you should become member of,
and look at the parted SVN repo, which holds the information. There are also
two mailing lists there, which are used for svn commit info (not yet activated
though), and one which is listed as the parted maintainer, and you could
subscribe too.

Also, it would be of interest to you to subscribe to the parted mailing list,
and to have a look at the parted CVS repo, which is also hosted at alioth,
altough it is the parted upstream one.

I welcome your help, and really, sorry for this late reply.

Bug#262885: RFH: parted -- Searching co-maintainer for the parted package.

2004-08-02 Thread Sven Luther
Package: wnpp

As said, i am having trouble caring about the parted package as it
should, I have become the default maintainer of parted, when Timshell
decided he had no more time, but never really had plans to take over
full maintainership of parted. Also, i have a bit of trouble handling
bug reports about partition tables i have not access too.

I thus profit from the new RH tag that was just announced to
request co-maintainership of it. Ideally i would like someone with
experience with MBR partition tables, as those will be the major part of
those bug reports, and maybe a maintainer team, with one team member for
each supported partition table and/or arch would be the best.

 Hi,
 
  Please add the apus patches to the 2.6.x powerpc kernels.
 
  I could do a separate kernel-patch-apus package,
 
 Please do.  Since apus support is in a separate kernel tree
 altogether, it should be kept in a separate Debian package for now.

Ah, and who was speaking about unified kernel packaging, and having less
kernel patch or kernel source packages around for easier security
problem management after the release ?

And please do is fine, but since you took over sole responsability of
the 2.6 powerpc patch, and disregard the opinion of others, it is your
sole responsability to fix this. You cannot expect help to manage your
package to bring it up to debian quality standard, and at the same time
handle opinion of people working on it with you as dirt.

 One part are Linux kernel sources to be compiled with the desired

 cards. I hope it won't become a habit for the hardware manufactures.

Well, i fear it will be more and more frequent as time pass.

Also, it is illegal to use such binary only files with GPLed modules
source, you have to add an explicit excemption, and the modules have to
declare themselves as proprietary.

Look at the unicorn package for an example of such (or at the
debian-legal archive for discussion of the unicorn package and licence).

Notice also that there is a GR proposal discussed in debian vote
actually, to simply quick such packages out of debian, which might
interest you.

Bug#205346: ITP: cairo -- vector-based rendering API with cross-device output support

Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-08-14
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: cairo
  Version : not yet released.
  Upstream Author : Carl Worth [EMAIL PROTECTED] (and others)
* URL : http://xr.xwin.org/

  Description : vector-based rendering API with cross-device output support

Cairo provides a vector-based rendering API with cross-device output
support. Currently supported output targets include the X Window System
and in-memory image buffers. PostScript and PDF file output is planned.
Cairo is designed to produce identical output on all output media while
taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available (eg.
through the X Render Extension).
.
Cairo provides a stateful user-level API with support for the PDF 1.4
imaging model. Cairo provides operations including stroking and filling
Bezier cubic splines, transforming and compositing translucent images,
and antialiased text rendering.
.
Cairo was once named Xr, (or Xr/Xc), so if you came looking for that
software, you've found it. 


Note : i don't intent to package this yet, as the cairo project has not
yet made an official release and is still in an early state. I will 
provide unofficial packages on http://people.debian.org/~luther/cairo
once the work is packageable (they are currently 5 libraries, each
depending on installed version of the previous in the dependency chain,
and some only have a bunch of includes, not nice for making separate
packages out of those). I am currently in discussion with upstream about
this.

Arg, i forgot to fill the fields 

Anyway, there has already been a RFP for conglomerate in bug #164127, i
only saw the first entry, and thought i would will the ITP separatedly
and then merge the bug reports or something such. Later on i saw that
many people were also interested by packaging conglomerate and which
posted to #164127, so i am not sure if i should continue with it, let
one of the other interested people package it, or if we should do a
co-maintainership or something.

Anyway, conglomerate is still not ready for inclusion in unstable, it is
buggy and dies frequently, i was thinking about doing an experimental
upload only, but i suppose i cannot close the ITP/RFP bugs in this case,
right ?

Bug#186839: Acknowledgement (ITP: Hardware Monitor : a gnome hardware monitor applet)

2003-03-31 Thread Sven Luther
Ok, i have uploaded the package, but it still need to be checked by the
ftp-master and added to the override file. As soon as that is done, i
will close this bug report, but i suppose it needs to be kept open in
the meantime.

Bug#173064: RFA: whizzytex -- a WYSIWIG environment for LaTeX

2002-12-14 Thread Sven Luther
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2002-12-14
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the whizzytex package.
The package description is:
 WhizzyTeX is an emacs minor mode for incrementally
 (TeXing and) previewing a LaTeX file that you are editing.
 .
 It works with ghostview-based and xdvi-based previewers,
 but best visual effect and more options will be available
 if you use the advi previewer.

I don't really have time for maintaining this package as has been shown
by two bugs which have hit me lately. Also, this package works mostly
with emacs, and i am not an emacs user, so maybe am i not really the
best person for packaging this, altough i have good contact with
upstream.

Anyway, i will continue maintaining this package as i can until someone
comes and adopt it.
