No need to rush things - you can change these things later.

Bug#724280: ITP: rtax -- Rapid and accurate taxonomic classification of short paired-end sequence reads from the 16S ribosomal RNA gene

Hi Simon, 

some nitpicking:

Please shorten the short description.

I would drop the first sentence - this sounds a lot like the first
sentence in a scientific paper.

Best,

Bug#575614: mail

Hi Folkert,

Uhmm, this took some time, sorry. I just looked by accident on the old bug
report and saw your message above. 

Anyway, below is my original mail:


Hi Folkert,

I'm currently trying to package timer entropy daemon for Debian. I have
a question about the licensing. The included license.txt is the GPL2. Is
this to be understood as timer entropy daemon licensed under
"GPL2 only"
or as
"GPL2 (or any later version)"?

Both choices are fine, but I need to document which one it is. Please
indicate whether I can quote your answer publically.

Thanks
Thomas


Please keep the bug report CC'd. While I'm not sure about taking over
entropyd, I've been now 1-2 times in a situation where it would have
been very useful, so I may indeed take it over.

Thanks
Thomas

Bug#575614: timer-entropyd -- feed the /dev/random device with entropy data read from timer statistics

2010-04-22 Thread Thomas Weber
noowner 575614
thanks

I've finished my packaging efforts together with my AM. If anybody is
interested in uploading this packge into Debian, the packaging files can
be found at 
http://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/timer-entropyd.git/

Some remarks:
1) The source files don't contain any license conditions, there's just
the GPL2 included in a separate file. I've asked upstream whether that
means GPL2 or GPL2+, but didn't get any answer.

2) The daemon doesn't create a pid file. I've worked around this using
pgrep in the init file, but a better solution should be coded in the
upstream code (I'd guess this code could be taken from about any other
daemon).

3) When started, the daemon prints a copyright line. This disturbs the
output of the init.d script. Again, this should be changed in the
upstream code (perhaps by introducing a --quiet option, or similarly).

I'm taking over this bug as part of my new maintainer process. Please
note that this means that I will provide the necessary files for a
package, but I will *probably* NOT upload the package into the archive and
I will *definitely* NOT take over maintenance of this package in the
future.

Cool.
Please file a bug against octave-vrml, once freewrl is again available.

Bug#480760: Do not package the SWIG version

octave-ann uses the SWIG wrapper for Octave, which is known to be
broken (segfaults at "clear -all"). Please do not package octave-ann in
its current state!

Bug#480767: Do not package the SWIG version

2009-05-16 Thread Thomas Weber
The database package currently uses the SWIG wrapper, which is known to
be broken. 

There's some work done to replace the wrapper for the database package
with something else, which should hopefully resolve this problem for the
database package.

I think it would be useful to mention the supported backends in the long

There's an "o" missing at the URL end.

Bug#376214: ITP: octave2.1-forge -- Contributed functions for GNU Octave from http://octave.sf.net for Octave 2.1

2006-06-30 Thread Thomas Weber
Package: wnpp

  Description : Contributed functions for GNU Octave from 
http://octave.sf.net for Octave 2.1

The octave-forge project contains over 500 contributed functions for GNU Octave
which are not in the main distribution. These functions are grouped according
to the following subdirectories: audio, comm, control, general, geometry,
ident, image, io, linear-algebra, miscellaneous, optim, path, plot, set,
signal, sparse, specfun, special-matrix, splines, statistics, strings, struct,
symbolic, time. 
   
While the main Octave distribution is conservative about accepting new
functions and changes, octave-forge is very open. As a result, be prepared for
some lower quality code and more rapidly changing interfaces to the functions
in octave-forge.

This package is compiled for Octave 2.1. If you need it for Octave 2.9, use the
octave2.9-forge package.
