Bug#1015848: workaround to achieve XHTML-compatible output
Hi everyone, perhaps the other heavy xmlstarlet users are also interested in this, so I decided to share. I wrote an LD_PRELOADable library (sorry, Macintosh users) that can be used to make xmlstarlet fo/sel output a space before the “/>” as is needed for XHTML. https://mbsd.evolvis.org/cvs.cgi/contrib/hosted/tg/forceXHTML.c?rev=HEAD This was not entirely simple as many useful functions for minimal change are not exposed by the API; “fo” is a tad more fragile than “sel” but I tested both on a small corpus and diff’d against the normal results, but I don’t have PIs or anything else fancy in there. I tested these on Debian GNU/Linux 11 (“bullseye”). These might even work with other tools (xmllint/xsltproc) but I don’t use them, only xmlstarlet, have “always” been. Maybe drop me a note if you enjoy it, have patches or suggestions. bye, //mirabilos -- „Cool, /usr/share/doc/mksh/examples/uhr.gz ist ja ein Grund, mksh auf jedem System zu installieren.“ -- XTaran auf der OpenRheinRuhr, ganz begeistert (EN: “[…]uhr.gz is a reason to install mksh on every system.”)

retitle 749603 ITP: libjs-dygraphs -- fast and flexible JavaScript charting library owner 749603 t.gla...@tarent.de thanks Against, probably, better knowledge, I’ll try to package this. I have an experiment for a customer in which I can probably use it, and might even fix minor bugs. The software’s last release is 2.1.0 in 2017, and since then there were 11 commits, last in 2021. They all look okay-ish. This doesn’t sound well-maintained, and upstream acknowledges this, but there hasn’t been a new active maintainer so far. The repo is in interesting shape and will need quite some cleanup of minified js blobs (not all of which are even used) and embedded code copies, e.g. jsdoc-toolkit (which is packaged). I *might* bring my fork into shape and cut an inofficial release 2.1.0.1 from that (instead of trying to delete+patch upstream’s last release to death) which will make it easier to feed these changes back, should they wish. Licence audit will certainly need some time :/ There have been possibly incompatible changes since 1.x which the other prospective users need to adapt for.

That’s certainly one way to do it, if things build reproducibly. We probably should look at rebootstrapping openjdk-8 at some point in time as well… the fetch-orig target used http, not https, for downloading the sources… one of the things I’m fixing in 8u292-b10-1 (except for icedtea-sound because of unavailability of https for it but I downloaded it manually, verified-ish it with PGP and added a SHA256 check to d/rules for it so it’s at least consistent). bye, //mirabilos -- Infrastrukturexperte • tarent solutions GmbH Am Dickobskreuz 10, D-53121 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Telephon +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB AG Bonn 5168 • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg * Mit dem tarent-Newsletter nichts mehr verpassen: www.tarent.de/newsletter *

Matthias Klose dixit: [ #686777 ] >so this bug discussion started in 2013, and stopped in 2016. Do you >really think that this will pick up again? Given how the last opus update happened (as an NMU), no. But since multiple packages need this, maybe salvaging could apply. The questions raised wrt. symbols should be taken upstream, I guess. Since multiple packages need this, each of them shipping their own opus copy is directly against Policy… I agree that that’s not in time for bullseye, but perhaps this software is then just not suitable for a release? Alternatively, ignoring this issue would “work”, but it’s not a thing I’d want to keep perpetually. >> git clone https://evolvis.org/anonscm/git/alioth/jamulus.git >> to retrieve my last WIP state.

Taking the upstream packaging. Upstream is not a Debian Developer and has almost no idea how to package for Debian. Even looking at their copyright file alone should tell you it’s extremely incomplete. Upstream packaging also contains a binary DLL without sources in their distfile, which is grounds for an ftpmaster rejection. I take my DD duties, including the licence review, seriously. I’ve looked at at least the headers of each and every single file in the distfile. In general, I _never_ reuse upstream packaging, even if I sometimes look at what extra things they did e.g. for .desktop files or so. This has proven correct many times. >, also providing a -headless package for the server. Since the server also needs Qt and JACK for the inner operation, this will not save anything. I’m convinced it’s not worth it. I had looked at this for a bit. >> Otherwise I’ll jump in once the opus issue gets fixed, or >> perhaps upload to sid with an RC bug to prevent testing >> migration. > >that last option isn't suitable for "in time for bullseye". Indeed. Like I said, maybe the software is not suitable. Or you just want to ignore this. I did not have any pressing reason to get this into stable, but I was asked by someone else last week and you now, so maybe other people do, so I probably should do something. Given the low severity of the opus issue (same version as the one shipped in main, either of them unpatched), I agree we probably can ignore this for one release. If you wish I can also update my packaging and upload this. Should be quick enough… bye, //mirabilos -- cool ein Ada Lovelace Google-Doodle. aber zum 197. Geburtstag?

Hi Matthias, >this is an ITP which didn't see any progress for the past eight months. yes, sorry about that… I found some issues with it back then, but don’t remember precisely which ones now. Could’ve been network, not code-related. Ah: #686777 blocks removal of the embedded libopus in favour of the system-provided one. This was something I considered a blocker for getting this into testing/next-stable. Looking at the currently packaged opus though it’s the same upstream version with no patches, so, identical code.

Bug#926561: RFP: micropython -- Unix/Linux port of MicroPython for board-independent use on the host
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name: micropython
Version : 1.10
Upstream Author : Damien George and others
* URL : https://github.com/micropython/micropython#the-unix-version
* License : MIT
Programming Lang: C, Assembly, Python
Description : Unix/Linux port of MicroPython for board-independent use on
the host
The Unix port of MicroPython allows testing of programs intended
for microcontrollers on the local Debian host machine (except for
hardware-specific parts). It can also be used as another, tiny but
mostly compatible, Python 3 runtime for small scripts (but it
comes with FFI and JNI support). This port uses optimised assembly
code on ARM/Thumb, MIPS, i386 and amd64, and setjmp/longjmp-based
fallback code on all other architectures.
Notes to porters:
• this needs excessie Makefile patching (e.g. to not hardcode the
path to OpenJDK 7 on AMD64)
• it seems to aggregate submodules for some dependencies (which we
can do with the multiple-origtgz feature of dpkg), but care MUST
be taken to use system libraries whereever possible
• licence review of course must take those extra modules into account
(“MIT” is what the main repo declares); readline support means all
dependencies likely must be GPLv3-compatible
• enable as many features as we can, but if it’s too hard, start out
with a reduced set (e.g. no JNI?)
• I fully expect this to work on all architectures, even m68k and x32
(which is tricky because it’s often autodetected as amd64 but cannot
use the amd64 JIT code, I just checked asmx64.c to see that)
• if nobody is working on this, I might do it myself, under the
Teckids Debian Taskforce umbrella, which might mean comaintainers
• this is distinct from firmware-microbit-micropython whose origtgz
content completely differs (fork of micropython?) but I’ll Cc its
maintainers anyway
• the same origtgz MIGHT be used to build multiple binary packages;
perhaps not the microbit one, but definitely the javascript one
(which uses emscripten) and perhaps {bare,qemu}-arm; the unix port
also builds a FreeDOS/djgpp binary if desired, but this should be
considered afterwards, first get the native host unix port done

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: python3-asciitree Version : 0.3.3 Upstream Author : Marc Brinkmann * URL : g...@github.com:mbr/asciitree.git * Licence : MIT Programming Lang: Python 2/3 Description : draw tree structures using (ASCII or Unicode) characters This package contains functions to draw a tree structure, similar to the tree Debian package, from arbitrary nested Python data structures, with configurable layout, sets of characters (ASCII or various Unicode line drawing), etc. It includes predefined structure traversal methods for (optionally ordered) dictionaries but allows the user to write their own to traverse custom data structures. This was recently very helpful at $dayjob, and it would be good to have it in Debian, although I do not intend to maintain it myself a coworker will surely (*wink*) since it probably can be done on the clock.

Bug#684475: #684475 RFP: trinity-desktop -- Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE)
Hi *, has anyone done anything on this? I noticed that Trinity themselves have a “PPA” on “the only functional Launchpad instance outside of Canonical”, in which they offer packages for Debian releases even. AIUI these are actively maintained and even security-fixed. I was considering reviewing these (their source packages actually) and possibly starting to upload them piece by piece to experimental, but I don’t know C++ really, and I’m not sure if this is ever going to be accepted “by Debian”. I’d love to solicitate aid from the Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers, but I understand they’re busy with KF5/Qt5 and probably(?) don’t wish to revisit their KDE 3/Qt 3 knowledge (please correct me if I’m wrong, or if even some individual Debian Qt/KDE maintainers outside of their membership of said team would be able to help). I could take care of the boring side of this (checking the packaging itself, uploading, triaging bugs, actually using this on my desktop) but I don’t feel capable enough to, by myself, handle the entirety of the technical work involved (I did hack a bit on Qt and KDE components for porting to m68k and x32 mostly, but… really only a bit). I’m also open to forming a team to bring this forward, but in this case, probably not a team of one… Thanks, //mirabilos -- tarent solutions GmbH Rochusstraße 2-4, D-53123 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Tel: +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB 5168 (AG Bonn) • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg

That would require a new dpkg architecture and other changes,
e.g. you could build for linuxuclibc-i386 instead of linux-i386.
The avr32 people tried to make a µClibc-based Debian port and
eventually failed, because the whole OS is much too dependent
on glibc and GNUisms, and because of the quality…
The other libc ports (Debian/{free,net}bsd (as opposed to
Debian/kFreeBSD), the Interix port, the Minix port, etc.)
also mostly failed – sure, there are or were demonstrations,
but the limitations prevented them from ever taking off.

I’ve already told you I’d prefer to see it die, and the only
thing preventing that is nommu support in more sane libcs.

How is that relevant for a binary distribution in which nothing will use this package? For cross-compiling, you only need the source code available.

Joerg Jaspert dixit: >not official", thats just wrong. You may not like its maintainer, you >may not want that particular software and want to get your own. Thats >all fine, but this action is not. This becomes especially ridiculous when one considers that certain people/parties/cabals inside Debian, which some of the people involved this time may or may not belong to, deny other then-developers the ability to want a particular piece of software, instead of that one they wanted. Why is it that some people can declare other peoples’ work “not official” and thus less worth than their own, while that work is still used with official releases? Right.

This is what is currently true, and the desired outcome: • scripts specific to ksh93 use ksh93 in the shebang • scripts specific to mksh use mksh in the shebang • scripts using ksh in the shebang can be… – old pdksh scripts, – old ksh88 scripts, – or scripts written for “any ksh subset” – I did a short UDD search just now, and all cases of this in Debian also accept zsh as ksh providing package. This means that, if only one of ksh93 or mksh is installed, that package takes over ksh, but if both are installed, the official Korn Shell should take over ksh (unless the local admin overrides, of course). All use cases in Debian use alternative package relationships, i.e. don’t force the installation of one specific variant but don’t use a virtual package either. Let’s not introduce one. Renaming ksh93 from ksh to ksh93 would also make backporting much harder. KISS. bye, //mirabilos -- I believe no one can invent an algorithm. One just happens to hit upon it when God enlightens him.

Bug#764401: Bug#783978: Bug#764401: Are you planning to take over mksh in Debian?
Kenneth Pronovici dixit: I'm not trying to be snarky here, but I'm a little lost. This package is orphaned. If you're no longer the package maintainer, why should it even matter to you whether upstream issues are tracked as Debian bugs? Because ① I’m upstream, ② I’m maintaining this package in Debian, and, most importantly, ③ feature requests aren’t bugs, period. Besides that, this is arguably a functional regression vs. older versions of pdksh in Debian, which mksh now provides. I think it's useful to have the change in behavior noted, even if it is only a wishlist. That’s arguably a good point. One of mksh’s biggest strengths is that it behaves consistently across all platforms, though. DO NOT break that.

Bug#764396: O: jupp -- user friendly full screen text editor
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the jupp package. The package description is: Joe, the Joe's Own Editor, has the feel of most PC text editors: the key sequences are reminiscent of WordStar and Turbo C editors, but the feature set is much larger than of those. Joe has all of the features a Unix user should expect: full use of termcap/terminfo, complete VI-style Unix integration, a powerful configuration file, and regular expression search system. It also has eight help reference cards which are always available, and an intuitive, simple, and well thought-out user interface. . Joe has a great screen update optimisation algorithm, multiple windows (through/between which you can scroll) and lacks the confusing notion of named buffers. It has command history, TAB expansion in file selection menus, undo and redo functions, (un)indenting and paragraph formatting, filtering highlighted blocks through any external Unix command, editing a pipe into or out of a command, block move, copy, delete or filter, a bracketed paste mode automatically enabled on xterm-xfree86 and decimal and hexadecimal gotos for lines, columns, and file offsets. . Through simple QEdit-style configuration files, Joe can be set up to emulate editors such as Pico and Emacs, along with a complete imitation of WordStar, and a restricted mode version (lets you edit only the files specified on the command line). Joe also has a deferred screen update to handle typeahead, and it ensures that deferral is not bypassed by tty buffering. It's usable even at 2400 baud, and it will work on any kind of sane terminal. Furthermore, it supports SELinux context copying on Debian systems with the Linux kernel. . This version of JOE only comes with the Jupp flavour, to not conflict with the Debian joe package, activated. The resource files and executable links and menu entries for the other flavours are still available, though, in the joe-jupp package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#764397: O: cvs -- Concurrent Versions System
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the cvs package. The package description is: CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep access to old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS. It handles multiple developers, multiple directories, triggers to enable/log/control various operations, and can work over a wide area network. The texinfo manual provides further information on more tasks that it can perform. . There are some tasks that are not covered by CVS. They can be done in conjunction with CVS but will tend to require some script-writing and software other than CVS. These tasks are bug-tracking, build management (that is, make and make-like tools), and automated testing. However, CVS makes these tasks easier. . This package contains a CVS binary which can act as both client and server, although there is no CVS dæmon; to access remote repositories, please use :extssh: not :pserver: any more. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#764402: O: pax -- Portable Archive Interchange (cpio, pax, tar)
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the pax package. The package description is: paxtar is an implementation of an archiving utility that reads and writes several formats - traditional ones, the extended formats specified in IEEE 1003.1, and the ar(5) format used by deb(5) packages (MirBSD specific paxtar extension). The pax interface was designed by IEEE 1003.2 as a compromise in the chronic controversy over which of tar or cpio is best, but this implementation offers paxcpio and paxtar for easy calling. . This is the MirBSD paxtar implementation supporting the formats ar, bcpio, cpio, SVR4 cpio with and without CRC, old tar, and ustar, but not the format known as pax yet. It has extensions for removing non-numerical user and group IDs from the archive, storing hardlinked files only once, setting ownership to the superuser, anonymising inode and device information, changing the mtime to zero, and producing GNU tar compatible trailing slashes on ustar directory nodes. Its ar format is suitable for operating on *.deb files, unlike that of GNU binutils. . Note that ACLs and Extended Attributes are not supported. Also, on Debian GNU/Hurd and Debian GNU/Linux (but not Debian GNU/kFreeBSD), size of archive members is limited to the width of the long type, that is, 2 GiB on platforms that do not have a 64-bit long type, due to a bug in the GNU C library (Debian #317466). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#764401: O: mksh -- MirBSD Korn Shell
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I intend to orphan the mksh package. The package description is: mksh is the successor of the Public Domain Korn shell (pdksh), a Bourne/POSIX compatible shell which is largely similar to the original ATT Korn Shell (ksh88/ksh93). It includes bug fixes and feature improvements, in order to produce a modern, robust shell good for interactive and especially script use. mksh has UTF-8 support (in string operations and the Emacs editing mode). The code has been cleaned up and simplified, bugs fixed, standards compliance added, and several enhancements (for extended compatibility to other modern shells, as well as a couple of its own) are available. This shell is Debian Policy 10.4 compliant and may be used as /bin/sh on Debian systems (the /bin/lksh binary should be used for this), and as rescue and initrd shell (especially the /bin/mksh-static binary). . The mksh-static binary is a version of mksh, linked against klibc or dietlibc (if they exist for that Debian architecture and are usable) and optimised for small code size, for example for use on initrd or initramfs images, installation or rescue systems, or /bin/sh on slow architectures. It omits some leaf features to be even smaller. . The lksh binary is a script shell based on mksh intended to run old ksh88 and pdksh scripts, but not for interactive use. When used as /bin/sh it follows POSIX most closely. . A sample ~/.mkshrc is included in /usr/share/doc/mksh/examples and provided as /etc/mkshrc conffile, which is sourced by another file /etc/skel/.mkshrc users are recommended to copy into their home. . This is the WTF Edition with slightly differing defaults: ed will be installed via a dependency; same for jupp which is used as the default EDITOR and VISUAL; the locale has UTF-8, Queen’s English LC_MESSAGES, metric LC_MEASUREMENT and ISO A4 paper; more sane or MirBSD-ish defaults.

Damyan Ivanov dixit: This suggested that there's additional history that I'd like to have, but retrieving it fails: [snip] Perhaps git-cvsimport is not happy about the module rename or the history is just not available anymore. Oops. Sorry. I guess that could work, although mirroring the whole contrib/hosted tree of the mirbsd's CVS seems like a nuclear approach. Thorsten, what do you think? Would I get an IP ban if I try that? :) No, you can just do that in one rsync call, and it’s not that big, but still overkill. You can normally just download both ,v file trees and put them together – asides from the CVSROOT/ directory, in CVS, every file is fully self-contained, and they can be moved between repositories or even accessed using RCS (official) or $EDITOR (not quite official but it’s a fully-documented plaintext format). Judging from the ,v files themselves I didn’t do a move but a copy of the checked-out tree (possibly adjusting paths in the files as I went) and a removal of the original tree. In this case, you can just convert them both to git then stitch them together (BTDT, I first put them into the same repo as different branches (in your case, all three of them, pre-move post-move and the current git tree) then used a .git/info/grafts file until it “looked good” in e.g. gitk, then used a git rebase to persist the changes from the grafts file and took care of moving the tags to the rebased sha1s). Sorry about the trouble. If needed, I can have a look at doing such a convert+stitch operation myself. bye, //mirabilos -- ch you introduced a merge commit│mika % g rebase -i HEAD^^ mika sorry, no idea and rebasing just fscked │mika Segmentation ch should have cloned into a clean repo │ fault (core dumped) ch if I rebase that now, it's really ugh │mika:#grml wuahh -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#666527: Intend to package b43-tools
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA384 Dominik George dixit: Please disreagrd what tg said as it is stupid. Okay, now let me explain this to the public: I was Cc’d in this ITP, which, being a DD, put me into zugzwang (this appears to be an actual English word; it forced my hand). We discussed this in IRC, and I can only review a package and its prospective maintainer from what they write, and possibly, personal skills. While I still consider Dominik as friend, I still do not think he should, at this time, be the sole main‐ tainer of a Debian package of software written in C, at least. Another DD has helped me in that IRC session and even went so far as to state he should not even be a co-maintainer, although I do not think that. (Telling us now we should not have taken several utterances of his seriously is the easy thing to do, but I am not sure it reflects good on him.) Nevertheless, I will not sponsor this package, and while at some point in the future I think Dominik should be re-evaluated, his unwillingness to be responsive to _two_ DDs’ opinions, at least one of which he wanted as prospective sponsor, while on the other hand having an attitude of expecting us to sponsor his package and possibly mentoring him without having asked politely first, blocks that for the time being. All I do here is state my evaluation conclusion, as otherwise, since I was Cc’d, I would be guilty by inaction, and ask any other sponsor to reconsider _for the time being_, and ask Dominik to seek a mentor via the proper channels first, and not be as impatient. This is with my DD hat on, and considering the overall quality of Debian. I am of the opinion that a package maintainer should at least be willing to fix bugs in a package and able to decide when to ask someone else, including upstream. My conclusion also stems from the entire review session, not so much from the source package he sent to me. I would probably have uploaded it with minor required changes, such as fixing the repak‐ kaged .orig.tar.gz, but a non-DD/DM should not be the deciding factor whether something gets uploaded as-is, changed or not at all. Before I was a DM, I went through quite a number of cycles with my sponsors and, while annoying, it wasn’t for nothing. I will concede one request of Dominik: this is not publicly telling all DDs that he is unfit for package maintenance in general, or for eternity. A fellow DD and me just think he should not be the (sole) maintainer of b43-tools right now, and within a short-term future. bye, //mirabilos - -- In traditional syntax ' is ignored, but in c99 everything between two ' is handled as character constant.

Bug#666527: Intend to package b43-tools
Dominik George dixit: * URL : http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 I was involved in the discussion of this ITP in IRC and approached as a sponsor. We had several issues with this. As b43-fwcutter is packaged together with the b43 firmware, I think it might be most reasonable to keep b43-fwcutter seperated and build the other tools from a b43-tools source package. Personally, I think it would make sense to throw these two together iff it is possible to build binary packages for both main and contrib from one source package in main. Policy does not say this can’t be done, so I’d try. But since the b43-fwcutter maintainer agreed with Dominik on this, I cede this point. I think the .orig.tar.gz of an eventual b43-tools source package should be the unmodified entire content of the git repository at the aforementioned URL (especially as it would make management easy since it can be imported into the upstream branch easily). The current source package does not build from the debug/ directory, but it was said it eventually could. To avoid package proliferation, I think it ought to not be packaged separately. DevRef §6.7.8.2 has SHOULD clauses for repackaged .orig.tar.gz files which apparently dh-make does not satisfy. From that follows that a debian/rules gen-orig-source target must do this job manually. (Tools such as git-buildpackage come to mind.) When presented with a const cleanliness warning, Dominik confessed he neither has any C skills nor intends to learn them. (He even suggests to grep -v the compiler warning, later…) Therefore, we (at least one other DD and me) agreed he should not be the person to maintain this package. He is of course invited to provide the initial packaging (even if it does not quite follow my standards, there are few reasons to not accept it) and co-maintain it, if any other comaintainer can do such a job. But this does disqualify the package from being eligible for sponsorship by me. bye, //mirabilos • t...@debian.org -- 22:20⎜asarch The crazy that persists in his craziness becomes a master 22:21⎜asarch And the distance between the craziness and geniality is only measured by the success 18:35⎜asarch Psychotics are consistently inconsistent.

Bug#665748: O: pidgin-openpgp
Package: wnpp Severity: normal Unfortunately, the situation at work changed, and I have not had any time for working on pidgin-openpgp (either the current codebase or the one that was suggested to me should replace it, which of course I cannot find the mail for right now) nor will I probably be working on it and I personally use mcabber and gajim, so this is open for adoption. The packaging is usable but nothing to be proud of. The code itself has two issues: - the UI is horrid, you need to write ENABLEPGP in caps into the chat window to enable it as there's no button or any status indicator; this ought to be fixed - there is one bug in the BTS against this regarding starting multiple gpg-agent if there's none running Adoptors should also look into the “other” XEP-0027 implementation for pidgin (if they find it, or should I ever find that mail again I’ll forward that) and determine whether it’s a suitable replacement. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

WNPP Monitor dixit: The maintainer of cvs package in Debian is looking for people willing to adopt the package. Hi Steve, I’d be willing to take on CVS. Please note that I would probably totally trash your existing packaging and replace it, backing out things like changing from /MM/DD to -MM-DD (ISO 8601 be damned if it breaks checksums on checked-out files) and other changes that prove to be faulty, replacing it with something like this: https://www.mirbsd.org/cvs.cgi/contrib/hosted/tg/deb/cvs/debian/ I am also a sworn enemy of pserver and will insist on people using cvs over ssh as should be.

Bug#484545: improving a little
affects 484545 mediawiki-extensions forwarded 579822 http://dev.fckeditor.net/ticket/4462 clone 539371 -1 retitle 539371 mediawiki-extensions: add CreateBox extension retitle -1 mediawiki-extensions: add UsabilityInitiative extension thanks I’ll be helping a little as part of my work on FusionForge including its MediaWiki plugin for my company’s Evolvis platform where we’ll use several MW plugins ourselves. While I can’t promise a lot of involvement I will invest some work, not disappear totally suddenly and, from the amount of effort we invest into Evolvis, don’t think the company’s interest will lessen in near future either. We had discussed that on pkg-mediawiki-de...@l.a.d.o and I’ve been given svn ci permissions already. I’m currently adding seven extensions we’re using in the pre-Debian-packaged Wiki farms to mw-extensions, so I guess I can add CreateBox (and imagemap, requested by FusionForge’s Christian Bayle) at the same time. Not UsabilityInitiative though, as we’re on 1.15.x still. I don’t think this closes the RFH though. bye, //mirabilos – t...@d.o -- tarent Gesellschaft für Softwareentwicklung und IT-Beratung mbH Geschäftsführer: Boris Esser, Elmar Geese HRB AG Bonn 5168 - USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Heilsbachstraße 24, 53123 Bonn, Telefon: +49 228 52675-93 Weigandufer 45, 12059 Berlin, Telefon: +49 30 5682943-30 Internet: http://www.tarent.de/ • Telefax: +49 228 52675-25 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#577653: ITP: pidgin-openpgp -- OpenPGP plugin for Pidgin
Subject: ITP: pidgin-openpgp -- OpenPGP plugin for Pidgin Package: wnpp Owner: Thorsten Glaser t...@mirbsd.de Severity: wishlist * Package name: pidgin-openpgp Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : Michael Braun michael-...@fami-braun.de * URL : http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/288 * License : GNU GPLv3+ Programming Lang: Perl Description : OpenPGP plugin for Pidgin Description: OpenPGP plugin for Pidgin pidgin-openpgp is a plugin for the Pidgin instant messaging program which enables it to communicate with Jabber/XMPP peers in an encrypted manner using the OpenPGP standard and XEP-0027, which is understood by other clients, such as centericq, gajim, kopete and mcabber. . This is an experimental extension and potentially buggy. I’m packaging this at work for these who still want to use Pidgin, so that they can exchange PGP/GPG-crypted instant messages with gajim/kopete/mcabber users. Upstream seems to be dead. I’ll try hacking on it a little, but only to the point to keep it usable.

Feel free to add the initial packaging to kde-extras repository [1]. I tried to join that group ages ago… ;-) We could help you on the package and sponsor the package. Too late, already done, and someone @BSP kindly uploaded it already ☺ But if you want to take it over afterwards, feel free to; I do admit I don’t know too much about KDE. (I’m still upstream though, unless you persuade KDE to integrate it, with which I’d be happy as well.)

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: squirrel-sql Version : 3.0.3 Upstream Author : squirrel-sql-deve...@lists.sourceforge.net * URL : http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/ * License : GPL, LGPL (according to SF) Programming Lang: Java™ Description : graphical universal SQL client SQuirreL SQL Client is a graphical SQL client written in Java that will allow you to view the structure of a JDBC compliant database, browse the data in tables, issue SQL commands etc. SQuirreL SQL Client is a graphical Java program that will allow you to view the structure of a JDBC compliant database, browse the data in tables, issue SQL commands etc, see Introduction. The minimum version of Java supported is 1.6.x as of SQuirreL version 3.0. See the Old Versions page for versions of SQuirreL that will work with older versions of Java. SQuirreL's functionality can be extended through the use of plugins. A short introduction can be found here. To see the change history (including changes not yet released) click here. For a more detailed introduction see the English or German of our paper on SQuirreL. Susan Cline graciously took the time to document the steps she followed to setup an Apache Derby database from scratch and use the SQuirreL SQL Client to explore it. Quite some time ago Kulvir Singh Bhogal wrote a great tutorial on SQuirreL and published it at the IBM developerWorks site. He has kindly allowed us to mirror it locally. The tutorial is not really up to date but especially for doing the first steps it is still of help. SQuirrel was originally released under the GNU General Public License. Since version 1.1beta2 it has been released under the GNU Lesser General Public License. I was made aware that “most” of our colleagues (Java™ developers, most of them) use this as graphical SQL tool. I personally don’t know what to do with such things, but I’d like to be able to offer to centrally install this software on our workstations using the package management system, which is why I file this RFP. I don’t know how well this can be integrated into usual Debian Pak- kaging systems though… they use that “drop the JAR into your $HOME and run it” method many Java™ applications seem to be fond of… -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The MirBSD version fixes ECMA 119, SUSP and RRIP (Rock Ridge) compliance. Supported target filesystem types are: cd9660 ISO 9660 (ECMA 119) compatible filesystem images, with Rock Ridge, El Torito, and other features ffs 4.2FFS, the BSD Fast Filesystem, also known as UFS1; support for UFS2 is currently untested The images created can be of a fixed (predefined) size, given on the command line, or sized automatically. Permission bits are taken from the source directory tree but may be overridden using an mtree file. This package is created to aid Luca Favatella in porting d-i to Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. It also serves purpose as a genisoimage re- placement, if people should then so wish. (Which is why the MirBSD version was ported, as it conforms to ECMA 119, RRIP, SUSP and the El Torito standard, which the NetBSD® version doesn’t.) I fully intend to maintain this package in MirBSD (“upstream”) as well as Debian (in my capacity as DM); I also try to coordinate pushing all patches to the “up-upstream” (NetBSD®). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
