Hi guys,

glad there's finally some interest in taking over the package from me.
I think there's at least a year since I've had any free time and
motivation to work on Debian packaging, so it's about high time somebody
takes care of it again...

Matthias Schmitz was the first one to contact me about taking over the
package, and he's been actively following up on that by taking on lots
of outstanding work on the 1.2.x branch.  My colleague Stig Sandbeck
Mathisen has also been trying to work his way through the huge backlog
of bug reports (sorry about those).  I am under the impression that
their work will likely result in a new upstream release (1.2.6) as well
as new Debian packages.

So I intend to give the package to Matthias, and leave it up to him to
decide how he wants to arrange the maintanership, that is, if he wants
co-maintainers, if he still wants to keep the code in the upstream SVN
repo, and so on.  So you should all talk to him.  :-)  I never heard
anything from Jose Carlos Medeiros about taking over the package, by the
way.

BTW.  We have an IRC channel, [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Matthias, Stig, and
 me hangs out there.  Feel free to stop by.  :-)

Regards

1.2.6 will be part of 1.2.x.  ;-)

Neither, it's just our (Linpro's) stand-alone interal IRC server.  Maybe
it's time to move the channel elsewhere now that Munin isn't really a
Linpro-only project any longer, but that's not up to me to decide.

Nothing against that at all, in fact I see it as a big advantage.  Much
easier to branch and merge stuff from upstream releases and so on.

I'll make SVN users for Holger and Bernd, then.  Any preferred usernames
or just first names?

Matthias and me still plan to upload munin 1.2.6 RSN now ;)


Yay!  :-)  Thanks for taking over the package from me guys, it really 
needed someone with a bit more time to care for it..



Tore, can you arrange that for Thijs, please?


Certainly;  I've now sent him the login credentials directly in a 
separate email.

 This package contains some nice fixed-width fonts created by Audun Ytterdal.
 Most of them come in special versions as well as the normal one; one
 for Norwegians and Danes (no), one for Swedes (se), and one which combines
 the two (all).
 .
 To get the accented characters in the special versions, some other rarely
 used characters are sacrificed. The fonts included are:
 .
  - shine (Norwegian+Danish, Swedish, combined, and normal versions)
  - outcast (Norwegian+Danish, Swedish, combined, and normal versions)
  - bright (Norwegian+Danish, Swedish, and normal versions)
  - zaber (Norwegian+Danish and normal versions)

Bug#456640: RFA: munin -- network-wide graphing framework (grapher/gatherer)

[Tore Anderson]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I don't have time to maintain the Munin packages any more (and haven't
for quite a while either, truth to be told).  So there's a bunch of bugs
reports that hasn't yet been looked at, and although the packages
themselves are in quite good condition there's lots of reports of
upstream bugs that needs to be triaged and fixed/forwarded.

The packages are currently maintained in the upstream SVN repository,
and the new maintainer(s) will be given write access there.  The 1.2
stable branch is de-facto maintained by the Debian maintainer at the
moment, so you'll be free (or even encouraged) to make new upstream
releases instead of carrying patches in the Debian diff.

The new major upstream release is still under developement, but it's
still some months away I believe.

The package description is:
 Munin is a highly flexible and powerful solution used to create graphs of
 virtually everything imaginable throughout your network, while still
 maintaining a rattling ease of installation and configuration.
 .
 This package contains the grapher/gatherer. You will only need one instance of
 it in your network. It will periodically poll all the nodes in your network
 it's aware of for data, which it in turn will use to create graphs and HTML
 pages, suitable for viewing with your graphical web browser of choice.
 .
 It is also able to alert you if any value is outside of a preset boundary,
 useful if you want to be alerted if a filesystem is about to grow full, for
 instance.  You can do this by making Munin run an arbitrary command when you
 need to be alert it, or make use of the intrinsic Nagios support.
 .
 Munin is written in Perl, and relies heavily on Tobi Oetiker's excellent
 RRDtool. To see a real example of Munin in action, you can follow a link
 from  to a live installation.

Bug#203862: ITP: beneath-a-steel-sky -- a science fiction adventure game

[Tore Anderson]

Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-08-02
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: beneath-a-steel-sky
  Upstream Author : Revolution Software, Inc. 
* URL : http://www.scummvm.org/
* License : Probably not DFSG-free at the moment, hoping
to rectify that.
  Description : a science fiction adventure game

  A science-fiction thriller set in a bleak post-apocalyptic vision
 of the future, Beneath a Steel Sky revolves around "Union City",
 where selfishness, rivalry, and corruption by its citizens seems to
 be all too common, those who can afford it live underground, away
 from the pollution and social problems which are plaguing the city.

  You take on the role of Robert Foster, an outcast of sorts from the
 city since a boy who was raised in a remote environment outside of
 Union City simply termed "the gap".  Robert's mother took him away
 from Union City as a child on their way to "Hobart" but the helicopter
 crashed on its way, unfortunately Robert's mother dies, but he
 survives and is left to be raised by a local tribe from the gap.
 
  Years later, Union City security drops by and abducts Robert, killing
 his tribe in the process; upon reaching the city the helicopter taking
 him there crashes with him escaping, high upon a tower block in the
 middle of the city he sets out to discover the truth about his past,
 and to seek vengeance for the killing of his tribe.
 
  The game is playable with ScummVM 0.5.0, which I'll upload shortly.

  That's the idea, yes.

  Oh and by the way, if you're interested in ScummVM (and BASS), please
 contact me off-bug -- I need sponsorship.  :-)

Bug#169079: ITP: lrrd -- gather information from your network and plot it in graphs on the web

[Tore Anderson]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-11-14
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: lrrd
  Version : 0.92
  Upstream Author : Linpro AS (http://www.linpro.no)
* URL : http://lrrd.sf.net
* License : GPL
  Description : gathers information from your network and graphs it

LRRD is a system to gather and graph all sorts of information
consists of two components; a client you can install on the various
nodes in your network. The client will know how to extract various
information such as load average and bandwith usage, and will wait for
the server to request these values.

The server runs periodically from cron and gathers data from all the
clients it's aware of, and uses the data to make graphs and simple
HTML pages, arranged in a tree-like hierarchy - suitable for viewing
with a graphical web browser.

The server can optionally notify Nagios if any of the values moves
outside of a specified range.

The client includes a broad range of modules for extracting values found
on most Debian systems - creating custom ones is also very easy. You can
also create special checks which relays information from other devices
which can't run LRRD, using SNMP or similar technology.

LRRD is written in Perl, and makes heavy use Tobi Oetiker's excellent
RRDTool (http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool//index.html).

To see a real (but anonymized) example of LRRD in action, point your
favourite web browser to http://www.linpro.no/projects/lrrd/example/.

  Description : Load-balancing made easy

  LVS-kiss is a daemon which controls Linux Virtual Server dynamically,
 enabling you to create load balanced, high availability services.

  It periodically checks the real servers for their status, using
 user-defined checks.  It then uses the results to adjust the servers'
 weights accordingly, or remove them from the cluster if desired.

  A command-line utility which can alter lvs-kiss' behaviour without
 having to restart it is included.

Bug#169079: Preliminary LRRD packages available.

[Tore Anderson]

  In case anyone's interested, I've put out some preliminary packages
 at <http://users.linpro.no/tore/lrrd/>.  I can't guarantee flawless
 upgrades quite yet, but it's very likely that there won't be any
 problems from this point on.

  sources.list lines are:

deb http://users.linpro.no/tore/lrrd ./
deb-src http://users.linpro.no/tore/lrrd ./

  Quick installation guide:

* Install the "lrrd-client" package on all the nodes you want monitored
* Install the "lrrd-server" package on your webserver, and fill in the
  addresses of the various nodes to be monitored.

  (The Debconf questions should be quite self-explanatory.)

  Feedback would be much appreciated, especially from developers
 who might be interested in sponsoring these packages for me.
