So you can close this bug if you want, but I would appreciate you contacting upstream about what's stopping it being in Debian. No, the bug should not be closed. These issues are more or less trivial to resolve. I was even considering retitling it to ITP, but some things are worrying me, namely: * SOPE and SOGo are huge. I mean, HUGE. It would take me weeks to examine the code and figure out how these things work, at least at the basic level. * I am not a fan of web-based mail and calendars, and I don't plan using such services. If I package this, I'll run a test instance on some of my machines, but since it would be solely for testing purposes, I'm afraid I won't be able to discover all issues, or even manage to reproduce reported bugs. Proper maintenance involves regular real-life usage... * I am not a user of Icedove/Iceowl, and I don't plan becoming one. As I see from upstream's site, these clients connect with SOGo via special extensions, which need to be packaged, too. I don't have the right skills for that. * The code has a high potential for security bugs, and a significantly higher maintenance burden because of that. So... I think I'll attempt to package this, and see if it would be worth taking the risk. (This will happen after the Squeeze release in any case.)

Then I suggest you to read the appropriate documenation [1] before jumping to premature and possibly incorrect conclusions (what does the phrase philosophical overhead entail?). A fork is done when there is some kind of unresolvable conflict/disagreement (be it technical or not). Forking is a fundamental right, so there's nothing wrong in forking pth. But there are too many (forked) packages in Debian, and the Debian QA team would have to maintain the original pth package for some time at least, which is a burden. If there are people actively working to enhance pth, the best (for GNU, Debian, and literally everyone else) is to take over the package upstream.

Probably I wouldn't have replied to the thread if pth wasn't a GNU package, but my opinion would be the same. A fork should be the last resort, when all efforts to prevent the fork have been tried and failed. The introduction of a forked package in a distro is a separate issue, but it naturally is something not to be taken lightly. pth is for sure a smaller effort in Martins' work. We just want to get over this small hurdle in order to get his really interesting stuff included (which depends on this). Avoiding this small hurdle will result in a much bigger hurdle for every distribution, especially Debian when you take into account the number of packages and supported architectures.

Actually, melodie.app is under a non-copyleft license but of course Debian will distribute it under GPL, since our ffmpeg libs are under GPL. When I mentioned this to upsteeam (that we can't link against libavcodec/libavformat and mp4v2 even if/when the latter is packaged in Debian) they said that it's a distro's problem if the distro ships GPL-contaminated (sic) ffmpeg. FWIW, they just use mp4v2's tags functionality (which was implemented in taglib) and intend to drop the dependency when a new taglib release is made (which I think is already a fact). I humbly suggest to keep mp4v2 on hold and avoid uploading it until there is actually any benefit -- libraries with no reverse dependencies are mostly useless. P.S. When I was investigating this issue (i.e. why mp4v2 is not in Debian) about 2 years ago I vaguely remember an old ITP and a discussion that it cannot be in Debian due to patents concerns. Upstream's homepage at SF (back then) was pretty scary, too. Sorry I can't give any references right now. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Bug#550231: RFP: fisicalab.app -- Educational Physics application for GNUstep
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: fisicalab.app Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : German A. Arias ger...@xelalug.org * URL or Web page : http://fisicalab.nongnu.org/ * License : GPLv3+ Programming Lang: Objective-C Description : Educational Physics application for GNUstep FísicaLab is an educational application to solve Physics problems. There is a predefined pallette with elements (blocks, pulleys, mobiles, forces), which can be added to a chalkboard, with user-defined data. It currently supports the following kinds of Physics problems:: * Kinematics of particles (without circular motion) * Statics of particles (2D only) * Dynamics of particles (2d only, no dynamic or circular motion) * * * I can do the initial packaging and maintain it in long term, provided that knowledgeable people confirm this app would be actually useful in Debian. It looks interesting, although I can't judge about the usefulness properly (my love with Physics was eons ago). There are some minor bugs, easily fixable. Upstream was very active until some months ago in the GNUstep community, although there were no further releases. All classes and variables are in Spanish :-( (no problem for the end user, only for the Debian maintainer, eventually). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#433325: RFA: kbedic -- K Bulgarian/English Dictionary
On Sun, Aug 30, 2009 at 05:01:02PM +, Grant Hammond wrote: This is quite close to my heart at the moment as I am learning Bulgarian so I wondered if there was still need for adoption or help with this package? Many thanks for your interest. I would say yes; if the RFA bug is open, one can safely assume that. Here are the Bulgarian-related packages in Debian: bgoffice -- this is the most important one, needs lots of care cbedic-- was renamed upstream to cbgoffice kbedic-- was renamed upstream to kbgoffice gbgoffice -- only this one is properly maintained, along with bgoffice-computer-terms kbedic/cbedic need to renamed, made to work with dictionaries installed in multiple paths (like gbgoffice), and moved to main (as bgoffice-computer-terms is now in Debian). Note that at some point kbedic should be ported to KDE4, as I anticipate KDE3 will be removed from Debian, probably in squeeze+1. Upstream hasn't touched it for years, AFAIK, although he's still reachable and probably willing to help with small things. Unfortunately I don't have spare time to lend a hand for the time being, although I'd wish I could take over bgoffice and cbedic/cbgoffice.

On Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 07:22:20PM -0300, Tim Retout wrote: Gajim changed the file to GPLv3 *only*, Well, this is apparently another mistake, I'll notify them about it. I tend to read diffs quickly (just because there are megabytes of them!) so I really missed this important distinction. Nevertheless, it is not a stopper for this ITP (assuming upstream includes idle.c at the end); it will be a potential problem when the current GNU licenses will be upgraded. so hamster-applet upstream has moved to use the g-p-m (or gnome-screensaver?) dbus api. Because of this (almost obvious and easily fixable error)? By reading the GNOME Bugzilla bug my impression is that your (hamster) upstream just chose a more suitable API -- being a GNOME applet, portability within environments doesn't matter much. There seems to be another bug to make hamster-applet Python-only (I just saw the title; don't know details/rationale), so upstream's decision might be based on the overall evaluation of the reported bugs and/or some unwritten (or unspoken, as they say) design goals. Anyway, I'm just speculating. I'll pester the Gajim folks anyway. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, please read the gajim ticket first. :) I read all Gajim tickets in real time, because I'm subscribed to the appropriate list. I'm aware of this issue very well, including the developer in question. The problem is that they can't release 0.12 as GPLv3 or later while having this developer disagree with the relicensing, and having idle.c under GPLv3 only. Anyway, perhaps your hamster guys did the right thing; and just to clear any eventual cloud gathering -- I was merely clarifying as someone who follows the Gajim project since the early days. It is entirely up to you to decide what to do with hamster-applet, and I don't want to interfere at all.
