Bug#368072: O: wings3d -- Nendo-inspired 3D polygon mesh modeller

2006-05-19 Thread Will Newton
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the wings3d package due to lack of time.

The package description is:
 Wings 3D is a polygon mesh modeller written entirely in Erlang.  The
 user interface was designed to be easy to use for both beginners and
 advanced users alike.  It was inspired by the famous Nendo modeller
 (from Izware.)
 .
 Unlike similar modelling programs (such as Blender), this program
 does not provide native support for doing animations (though you can
 output its models to an animation tool.)
 .
 Wings 3D supports the following import formats: Nendo (NDO),
 3D Studio (3DS), Wavefront (OBJ), and Adobe Illustrator 8 (AI).
 .
 Wings 3D supports the following export formats: Nendo (NDO),
 3D Studio (3DS), Wavefront (OBJ), VRML (WRL), Renderman (RIB),
 Hash:Animation Master (MDL), Renderware (RWX), Yafray, Toxic,
 and FBX via a third-party plug-in.
 .
 Open Source Erlang is a functional programming language designed at
 the Ericcson Computer Science Laboratory.

Bug#368071: O: yaws -- high performance HTTP 1.1 webserver written in Erlang

2006-05-19 Thread Will Newton
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the yaws package due to lack of time.

The package description is:
 Yaws is a high perfomance HTTP 1.1 webserver written in Erlang. It is a
 multithreaded webserver where one Erlang light weight process is used to
 handle each client. Two separate modes of operation are supported.
 .
 Standalone mode where Yaws runs as a regular webserver daemon. This is the
 default mode.
 .
 Embedded mode where Yaws runs as an embedded webserver in another Erlang
 application.
 .
 The main advantages of yaws compared to other Web technologies are
 performance and elegance. The performance comes from the underlying Erlang
 system and its ability to handle concurrent processes in an efficent way.
 Its elegance comes from Erlang as well. Web applications don't have to be
 written in ugly adhoc languages.

Please, be my guest. ;-)

I'm not much use as a maintainer at the moment, a situation which will 
probably continue until May, so taking my name off it is fine. Hopefully in 
May I can get back to some Debian work and see where things stand.

Bug#351821: RFA: freetype -- FreeType 2 font engine, shared library files

2006-02-07 Thread Will Newton
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the freetype package.

Due to a new job I haven't had any time to work on FreeType in the last
few months. As such I would like someone to adopt it. A team would
probably be best, there's lots of difficult issues with this package
and it requires plenty of testing with different fonts and displays.

There's a new upstream version likely in the not so distant future.

The package description is:
 The FreeType project is a team of volunteers who develop free,
 portable and high-quality software solutions for digital typography.
 They specifically target embedded systems and focus on bringing small,
 efficient and ubiquitous products.
 .
 The FreeType 2 library is their new software font engine.  It has been
 designed to provide the following important features:
  * A universal and simple API to manage font files
  * Support for several font formats through loadable modules
  * High-quality anti-aliasing
  * High portability & performance
 .
 Supported font formats include:
  * TrueType files (.ttf) and collections (.ttc)
  * Type 1 font files both in ASCII (.pfa) or binary (.pfb) format
  * Type 1 Multiple Master fonts.  The FreeType 2 API also provides
routines to manage design instances easily
  * Type 1 CID-keyed fonts
  * OpenType/CFF (.otf) fonts
  * CFF/Type 2 fonts
  * Adobe CEF fonts (.cef), used to embed fonts in SVG documents with
the Adobe SVG viewer plugin.
  * Windows FNT/FON bitmap fonts
 .
 This package contains the files needed to run programs that use the
 FreeType 2 library.

Bug#330076: RFA: clisp -- GNU CLISP, a Common Lisp implementation

2005-09-25 Thread Will Newton
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the clisp package.

Due to lack of time I am looking for someone to adopt this package. It
requires someone competent with Lisp and C. There is quite a bit of
assembler and platform specific code, so it is not for the faint of
heart. I will be able to give some help to any new maintainer if
necessary.

Any prospective adopter should probably also adopt libsigsegv-dev which
is a build dep of this package, it's very low maintenance however.

The package description is:
 ANSI Common Lisp is a high-level, general-purpose programming language.
 GNU CLISP is a Common Lisp implementation by Bruno Haible of Karlsruhe
 University and Michael Stoll of Munich University, both in Germany.
 It mostly supports the Lisp described in the ANSI Common Lisp standard.
 It runs on most Unix workstations (GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
 Solaris, Tru64, HP-UX, BeOS, NeXTstep, IRIX, AIX and others) and on
 other systems (Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 95/98/ME) and needs only
 4 MB of RAM.
 .
 It is Free Software and may be distributed under the terms of GNU GPL,
 while it is possible to distribute commercial proprietary applications
 compiled with GNU CLISP.
 .
 The user interface comes in English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch,
 Russian and Danish, and can be changed at run time.
 GNU CLISP includes an interpreter, a compiler, a debugger, CLOS, MOP,
 a foreign language interface, sockets, i18n, fast bignums and more.
 An X11 interface is available through CLX, Garnet, CLUE/CLIO.
 GNU CLISP runs Maxima, ACL2 and many other Common Lisp packages.

Bug#312833: Package dead upstream

2005-06-10 Thread Will Newton

This package has been dead upstream for over 2 years. It links against 
obsolete libraries (GNOME 1.x and FreeType 1.x) and needs work to update to 
recent versions.

Should be considered for removal if not adopted soon.

Bug#161664: ayam licence problem?

There is some code that is taken from the Affine toolkit 
(http://www.affine.com) which is non-free. The author of Affine suggested to 
me a year or more ago that he may be willing to make a release with a 
DFSG-free license, but that hasn't happened yet. Also there is some code for 
reading Quickdraw files that seems like it may be dubious, it seems to have 
no license attached and is (C) Apple.

I do not really have the time or desire to package Ayam any more, so I have 
retitled the ITP.
