Bug#202226: O: xcal -- a graphical calendar with memos and reminder alarms

2003-07-20 Thread tony mancill
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-20
Severity: normal

I am orphaning the xcal package.  The software is ancient, and there 
is no active upstream.  It may be helpful for the adopter to be familiar
with Imake/xmkmf, but for the most part, maintaining the package consists
of recompiling it from time to time to keep up with X and the menu
standards.

The package description is:
 The "classic" calendar app with memos and alarms, xcal normally
 sits idle and displays the date.  When clicked on, pops up a `strip'
 for this month.  Clicking on a day allows you to enter details.
 Automatically parses times entered, and reminds you 5 minutes
 before your appointment.

 Supports daily and weekly repeating events and context-sensitive help.




Bug#202227: O: mwavem -- Mwave/ACP modem support

2003-07-20 Thread tony mancill
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-20
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the mwavem package.  Please be aware that any 
potential adoptor should have access to a ThinkPad with this
specific modem chipset.  Furthermore, please be aware that there 
are open questions regarding the license of the firmware included 
in the package.  Lastly, there are newer versions available from 
upstream (IBM).


The package description is:
 The mwavem program implements a Hayes-compatible V.90 modem
 in the 3780i Mwave/ACP DSP chip which is built in to certain
 IBM ThinkPad laptop computers, including the ThinkPad 600,
 600E and 770 models.
 .
 A driver for the mwave device is required.  Source code for
 the driver, built as a module called 'mwave.o', is included
 in the latest 2.4 kernel sources.  To build the module,
 set "ACP/Mwave Modem support" under "Character devices" to
 "m" at kernel configuration time.  Source code is available
 from IBM which can be used to build a module compatible with
 earlier kernels.

Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the gtkgraph package.  It's a neat little program,
but the upstream is dead, and it needs someone who can hack bison to fix
the bug filed against it.

The package description is:
 GtkGraph is an application designed to replace a conventional graphing
 calculator. It allows you to plot up to 10 functions on the same graph.
 Graphs may be exported to PostScript, printed, or exported to any bitmap
 file format that Imlib supports. The user can zoom and scroll, or set
 the range manually with X/Y minimums and X/Y maximums. In addition, a
 small arithmatic calculator window is included, which has a convenient

I intend to orphan the pup package.  There hasn't been anything from
upstream on this package in over a year, so it may or may not be dead.
No bugs, but then again, there might not be any users either.

Bug#202230: O: xflip -- programs to mirror-image or melt your display.

2003-07-20 Thread tony mancill
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-20
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the xflip package.  There is no upstream (at least
none that I'm aware of), so one day the nine year old source is probably 
going break.  Hence, a knowledge of X programming may be of benefit,
along with Imake.  Other than that, the package is extremely simple.

The package description is:
 Flip your (or your "xhost +" using friend's) screen on either the vertical

 have a -planes option to independently act on individual bit planes. This
 version now comes with a new -oblic option which flips horizontally and

Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-20
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the nwrite package.  It is a simple package, with no
upstream development to worry about.  In other words, it requires basic
policy maintenance.

The package description is:
 Nwrite is a replacement for the standard write program that lets you write
 directly to the terminal of another logged-in user without the overhead of
 talk taking over the full screen or the other user having to respond first.
 Nwrite's advantages over traditional write include the ability to send the
 same message simultaneously to multiple users, and a receiver-configurable
 message format, including a tag at the start of each line that identifies
 the sender.




Bug#202328: O: libvorbis-perl -- Perl extension for Ogg Vorbis streams

2003-07-21 Thread tony mancill
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-21
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the libvorbis-perl package.  A very simple package, 
the upstream source of this hasn't been changed in quite a while.

The package description is:
 The Ogg::Vorbis Perl module, an object-oriented interface to the
 libvorbisfile Ogg Vorbis library.  Currently reading but not writing
 of streams is supported.  Includes a sample mpg123-like script for
 playing Ogg Vorbis files.
 .
 Ogg Vorbis is a fully Open, non-proprietary, patent-and-royalty-free,
 general-purpose compressed audio format for high quality (44.1-48.0kHz,
 16+ bit, polyphonic) audio and music at fixed and variable bitrates
 from 16 to 128 kbps/channel. This places Vorbis in the same class as
 audio representations including MPEG-1 audio layer 3, MPEG-4 audio
 (AAC and TwinVQ), and PAC.




Bug#202329: O: mp3burn -- burn audio CDs directly from MP3, Ogg Vorbis, or FLAC files

2003-07-21 Thread tony mancill
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-21
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the mp3burn package.  This is a great first package
for anyone with some familiarity with Perl and a CD burner.  The Debian
version has diverged (evolved) quite a bit beyond the upstream version,
and the script is easy to understand and modify.  There are also a fair
number of active users, many of whom have submitted very useful patches
from time to time.

The package description is:
 mp3burn is a Perl script that allows you to burn audio CDs composed
 of MP3, Ogg Vorbis, or FLAC tracks without an intermediate file conversion
 to .cdr or .wav.
 The .mp3/.ogg/.flac files *are* converted using a decoder, but are
 written to FIFOs so they don't consume filesystem space during the burn.




Bug#202330: O: xzoom -- magnify part of X display, with fast updates

2003-07-21 Thread tony mancill
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-21
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the xzoom package.  There is no upstream that I'm
aware of, so maintenance of this package boils down to keeping it up to
day with policy and occassional recompiles against new releases of X.

The package description is:
 Like xmag, xzoom magnifies a section of the X display. Xzoom is different
 because it will continuously update the magnified area as the display
 changes. It is fast enough to enlarge small animations, for example.

I intend to orphan the liblog-agent-rotate-perl package.  Maintenance of
this package is simple.  The upstream source is available on CPAN.

The package description is:

 This is NOT a generic all-purpose logfile rotation package.  It is meant

I intend to orphan the xmountains package.  There is no active upstream for 
this package, so some knowledge of old-school X programming may come in 
handy to maintain it.  There is one wishlist bug open against this
package for some additional functionality.

The package description is:

2003-07-22 Thread tony mancill
Package: wnpp
Version: unavailable; reported 2003-07-22
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the qpage package.  It's non-free, but it's not
extremely non-free (if you subscribe to that type of thinking).  Aside
from needed a rewrite to support threading (and preferably in Perl),
it's a very solid program and has been the primary production notification 
system at several of my employers.  The source is in C, and is fairly
easy to hack.  Upstream is not active.

The package description is:
 QuickPage is a paging program.  It can speak SNPP (Simple Network Paging
 Protocol, RFC 1861) to another paging server, or it can act as an SNPP
 server and dial your modem to send alphanumeric pages.
 .
 HylaFAX contains similar functionality but is more complex by at least
 an order of magnitude.  If you just need to send pages, this does
 (most) everything you want.

I intend to orphan the ripperx package.  This is a fun package to
maintain, but be prepared to do some occassional coding (in C).  Also, 
note that there are several Debian-specific "extensions" (e.g. FLAC 
support) that aren't yet in the upstream version.  I'll be working to 
try to get those into the upstream version via its sourceforge page.
Updates from upstream are infrequent.

The package description is:

I intend to orphan the cdlabelgen package.  It might be helpful to be

Also, the cdinsert.pl CGI that comes with the upstream source should 
probably find its way into a separate package (it's currently ignored).
Upstream is active, and there are currently no bugs open against this 
package.

The package description is:
 cdlabelgen was designed to simplify the process of
 generating labels for CDs. It originated as a program to
 allow auto generation of front cards and tray cards for CDs
 burned via an automated mechanism (specifically for
 archiving data), but has now become popular for labelling
 CD compilations of mp3's, and copies of CDs. Note that
 cdlabelgen does not actually print anything--it just spits
 out postscript, which you can then do with as you please.

I will take a closer look at the package now that I know you need a
sponsor, but from the time I've spent, it all looks fine.  I'll build the
package on my machine and sign it with my key, but you will still be
listed as the maintainer in the Debian archive.  This means that you will

remailer's GPG key.  For this reason, the remailer is intended to run
from a dedicated user account on a secured system.

The remailer supports a number of configure options related to operation,
including support for:
   o  Multi-part encrypted messages
   o  Encrypted messages containing detached signatures
   o  Various signature requirements for received messages
   o  Conifgurable logging and debugging

Hi,

I took a look at schleuder before filing the ITP and they are very
similar in scope.  I'm not a user of schleuder, but key difference I see
is the implementation language - schleuder is written atop Ruby, whereas
gpg-remailer written in C++, so perhaps gpg-remailer is bit
lighter-weight (although I have no evidence for that claim), and thus
perhaps gpg-remailer is preferable on very small system.

So it's fair question.  I think they're quite similar.

Cheers,
tony

Hello Thomas,

The packaging builds fine, but I think there is a bit more work to do on
debian/copyright.  The following files carry a BSD license:

./src/com/google/debugging/sourcemap/Base64VLQ.java: BSD (3 clause)
./test/com/google/debugging/sourcemap/Base64VLQTest.java: BSD (3 clause)

Also, now that there is a build-dep on librhino, can the following trees
be pruned from repacked tarball?   The files under these directories are
dual licensed under the MPL 1.1/GPL 2.0.

./src/com/google/javascript/rhino/
./test/com/google/javascript/rhino/

Hi Geert, Alexandre:

In general the issue appears to be that there's no orig.tar.gz file and
not documentation about how to create one.  Alexandre, on May 10th you
posted to the bug report that you uploaded the packages (presumably one
of which was libhtmlcleaner-java) to mentors.debian.net, but I'm not
able to find them.  That source package would have included an
.orig.tar.gz file.

While it's possible to recreate the upstream orig.tar.gz from the
upstream branch in the git repository using git-archive, it would be
preferable going forward to use pristine-tar to create a pristine-tar
branch.  (Since you already have an upstream branch it won't take up
much extra space.)

And from that, was able to build a package using "debuild -us -uc".
However, the packaging repo in pkg-java/libhtmlcleaner-java.git is kind
of a mess.  Newer upstream versions 2.2.1 and 2.4 have already been
committed and merged, but the files in debian/ (changelog and patches)
are for the 2.2 version.  Thus, the package can't build when the master
branch of the git repository has been merged with upstream/2.4, but the
debian/changelog is expecting an orig.tar.gz version 2.2.

If you just want to see how it build, you can follow these steps:

# clone the pkg-java repo
git clone git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-java/libhtmlcleaner-java.git
cd libhtmlcleaner-java

# (re)create the upstream tarball for the 2.2 version
git archive upstream/2.2 --prefix=libhtmlcleaner-java-2.2/ -o
../libhtmlcleaner-java_2.2.orig.tar.gz

# clean up the 2.4 sources that are currently there
# (as an alternative, you could copy ./debian/ to a new folder)
rm -rf .git __MACOSX src

# restore the 2.2 sources
tar --strip-components=1 -xvf ../libhtmlcleaner-java_2.2.orig.tar.gz

# build!
debuild -us -uc


While this "works," it's completely and deeply flawed from a
git-buildpackage work-flow point of view.  Alexandre, what I recommend
doing is to:

1) Get a working source package for whatever version it is you want to
package and then make that package available on mentors.debian.net.
Iterate over that package until your sponsor feels it is ready for Debian.

2) Completely erase the existing pkg-java/libhtmlcleaner-java.git repo
so we can start over fresh.

3) Use git-import-dsc to create a local gbp repository for your package.

4) Verify that your package builds with git-buildpackage.

5) Push the newly created repository, including the upstream and
pristine-tar branches, to pkg-java/libhtmlcleaner-java.git.

Hope that helps,
tony

navigating a music library in DJ software such as xwax(1).

The bpm command implements the algorithm on raw data, but the most commonly

Bug#749839: ITP: guncat -- cat variant that handles partial encrypted sections of text

2014-05-29 Thread tony mancill
Package: wnpp

  Upstream Author : Frank B. Brokken 
* URL : http://guncat.sourceforge.net/
* License : GPLv3
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : cat variant that handles mixed clear and encrypted text

Guncat (Gpg UNencrypting CAT) was designed to tackle
a problem encountered with (partially) PGP encrypted files
(as encountered, e.g., in mailboxes): the encrypted sections
of such files are relatively difficult to browse through.

Guncat acts like unix's cat command, but handles
(partially) encrypted sections of processed files.
Sections of guncat's input files which are surrounded by
-BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-
and
-END PGP MESSAGE-
markers are decrypted before being concatenated to the
standard output stream.

Guncat's output (i.e., the standard output stream) may
subsequently be processed by other programs, like grep
or less.

Hi,

The description a decent synopsis of Galois fields, but the package
description doesn't say anything at all about what's included in the
package.  Is it a library, a primer, or perhaps something else?

It would be helpful to provide some details about the package before
it's uploaded to the archive.

  Programming Lang: Java
  Description : Drop-in replacement for Apache log4j 1.2 Java logging 
framework

The reload4j project is a fork of Apache log4j version 1.2.17 in order
to fix most pressing security issues. It is intended as a drop-in
replacement for log4j version 1.2.17. By drop-in, we mean the
replacement of log4j.jar with reload4j.jar in your build without needing
to make changes to source code, i.e., to your java files.

With release 1.2.18.0 and later, the reload4j project offers a clear and
easy migration path for the thousands of users who have an urgent need
to fix vulnerabilities in log4j 1.2.17.

This is being packaged because it is a dependency of slf4j [1] since
version 1.7.33 (Debian currently ships version 1.7.32 [2]) and because a
number of upstream projects have switched to reload4j.  Having a
separate reload4j source package will allow us to provide a clean
transition from liblog4j1.2-java -> libreload4j-java and fully EOL
Apache log4j 1.2.

I have created a git repository for the Debian packaging [1] and started
reviewing the package.  Everything looks good from the standpoint of
constructing the .deb.

I haven't uploaded yet because I am not yet sure how (or whether it is
even necessary) to document the license and copyright of a few of the
test resources.  In particular, these files:

Files: jwat-arc/src/test/resources/IAH-20080430204825-0-blackbook.arc
   jwat-arc/src/test/resources/IAH-20080430204825-0-blackbook.arc.gz

   jwat-warc/src/test/resources/IAH-20080430204825-0-blackbook.warc
   jwat-warc/src/test/resources/IAH-20080430204825-0-blackbook.warc.gz

For which the decopy [2] utility generates a very messy copyright entry
that ends with:

License: CC-BY-NC-SA-ND-3 or Expat or GPL or LGPL-2.1+

It's conceivable that these WARC [3] files contain copyrighted materials
and that uploading them as components of the source package would be
considered redistribution, but I am admittedly not well-versed enough in
this area to say for sure without looking into the contents in more
detail.

It would be nice to be able to (a) use the files as-is so that we don't
have to either (b) remove the files and disable tests, or (c) replace
the files and rewrite the tests that access them.  I spot-checked a few
tests and they appear to expect to be able to locate specific contents
in the archive, so (c) would be non-trivial and could result in the
package being quite difficult to maintain over time, since any upstream
changes to those tests would require updating the patch(es).

Let me know if you have any thoughts on this.  Otherwise, I will follow
up once I have a chance to look through the test resources in more
detail.

Thank you,
tony

I intend to remove files for which we don't have clear licenses from the

Apologies for the delay here - it will be a few days yet before I will

Hi Thomas,

I came across your ITP for strawberry and am wondering if you'd like to
resume work on it.  I can offer to sponsor.

I took a look upstream [1], and a lot of the hard work (e.g.,
debian/copyright) has been addressed and the upstream packaging looks
pretty near to being ready.

Hi Peter,

The passphrases are managed via ssh-agent, which will employ ssh-askpass
to collect the necessary passphrase(s) at startup.  You can get an
overview of the sequence via the manpage:

Hello Marc,

Thank you, Ansgar and Paul for responses regarding other ways to perform
these tasks. Specifically:

The idea for ssh-cron is to be able to use the keys (one might currently
already have) without having to generate separate keys for triggers, and
while maintaining a passphrase.  Whether or not that's advisable given
alternatives such as ssh triggers depends on your risk tolerance and the
specifics of your environment.

It seems like with Ganneff's trigger mechanism, one attack vector is to
steal a backup of the passphraseless key and spoof the source IP - now
you can run the trigger at will.  Having a passphrase on the key could
at least slow the attacker down.  I could imagine using ssh-cron
together with "command=" for a higher level of security.

In any event, thank you for the discussion.  I'll confer with the
upstream author before proceeding with the package.

Regards,
tony

I contacted the upstream author (on the cc: - hi Frank), and his concern
with the passphraseless key trigger mechanism is precisely that you
don't have a passphrase.  The key is unprotected and subject to
theft/unauthorized use.  This could potentially occur on the system that
is (normally) the legitimate source of the trigger.

Therefore, I don't think there's feature parity between the trigger
mechanism and ssh-cron.  (And even if there were, TIMTOWTDI, etc...)

Of course once there is a package, feature requests and bug reports are
welcome.  Thanks for reviewing and responding to the ITP.

Cheers,
tony

p.s. Where else but in Debian can you get constructive feedback on
grammar and secure system administration *in the same thread*?  :)

ssh-cron uses ssh-agent, as Clint Byrum suggested in his post.

Hello Gregor,

Thank you for the super-quick response to this RFP.  I had run
dh-make-perl and was in the midst of cleaning things up for a potential
ITP, but am glad if the Perl team will maintain this package.

In case you're curious, this module is used by squeezebox-googlemusic

Server (100% Perl).  Perhaps others will find it useful.

  Description : Assertion/Proposition framework for Java unit tests

 Truth is a testing framework designed to make your tests and their error
 messages more readable and discoverable, while being extensible to new
 types of objects.
 .
 Truth adopts a fluent style for test propositions, is extensible in
 several ways, supports IDE completion/discovery of available
 propositions, and supports different responses to un-true propositions.
 Truth can be used to declare JUnit-style assumptions (which skip the
 test on failure), assertions (interrupt the test on failure), and
 expectations (continue the test, but collect errors and report failure
 at the end).

This package is a pre-requisite for packaging the latest version of
the closure-compiler.

Bug#845471: ITP: java-diff-utils -- library for computing diffs, applying patches, and generation of side-by-side view in Java

2016-11-23 Thread tony mancill
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: tony mancill 

* Package name: java-diff-utils
  Version : 2.1.1
  Upstream Author : Dmitry Naumenko, Brendan Kromhout
* URL : https://github.com/bkromhout/java-diff-utils
* License : Apache 2.0
  Programming Lang: Java
  Description : library for computing diffs, applying patches, and 
generation of side-by-side view in Java

The java-diff-utils library is for computing diffs, applying patches,
generation side-by-side view in Java.

It is an open source library for performing comparison operations
between chunks of text: computing diffs, applying patches, generating
unified diffs or parsing them, generating diff output for easy future
display (like a side-by-side view) and so on.

The main reason for creating this library was the lack of easy-to-use
libraries with all the usual features necessary for working with diff
files. Originally it was inspired by the JRCS library and its nice diff
module design.

This package is required for the upgrade of JabRef to 3.x (#810725).
It will be team-maintained by the Java Team.  

The code originates from Google Code and there are numerous extant forks
available on GitHub.  The "bkromhout" fork was chosen as the basis for
packaging because it is being actively maintained with participation by
the JabRef upstream maintainers.

Hi Torsten,

We have been kicking around the idea of bringing the scala package under

After a private response from Torsten, I have copied the existing Alioth
repo from pkg-scala to pkg-java and fixed up the group rights and
configs to point to the pkg-java list.

For the time-being, the scala.git repo beneath pkg-scala is still intact
in case there are any concerns.  However, we intend to start updating
and uploading from the pkg-java repo:

Hi Oliver,

I think there's a copy-and-paste error in the RFP for the URL.  Here's
an updated description:

* Package name: libjbibtex-java
  Version : 1.0.15
  Upstream Author : Villu Ruusmann 
* URL : https://github.com/jbibtex/jbibtex
* License : BSD-3-Clause
  Programming Lang: Java
  Description : Java BibTeX and LaTeX parser and formatter library.

In any event, I'll start on the packaging for this soon.

Cheers,
tony



Bug#890222: ITP: jnacl -- Pure Java implementation of the NaCl: Networking and Cryptography library

2018-02-11 Thread tony mancill
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: tony mancill 

* Package name: jnacl
  Version : 0.1.1
  Upstream Author : Neil Alexander
* URL : https://neilalexander.eu/jnacl
* License : BSD-2-clause
  Programming Lang: Java
  Description : Pure Java implementation of the NaCl: Networking and 
Cryptography library

 jnacl is a library that implements some of Daniel J. Bernstein's NaCl
 encryption primitives. The functions are written in pure Java, and are
 therefore very straight-forward to make use of in a Java application
 without the use of native libraries and bindings.
 
 The following primitives are included:
 
 - curve25519: Elliptic curve key agreement
 - salsa20: Stream cipher
 - poly1305: Message authenticator (MAC)

 It is open-source and available on GitHub.
 
 Even though it has not been comprehensively benchmarked, jnacl performs
 exceptionally well, even on resource-constrained Android platforms.


This package will be maintained by the Debian Java Team.

This library is a new dependency required to update jeromq.  Note that
the upstream author hasn't tagged releases in [0], therefore the
packaging will track the releases of this fork [1].

I will try that via an issue on Github - so far I haven't been able to
find a direct email address for the author.  However, if that doesn't
work, I'm not overly concerned about using the trevorbenard/jnacl fork
because it is being used to publish to Maven Central and the differences
between the repos [0] are only related to the pom.

Thanks,

jbibtex provides a BibTeX parser, writer, and methods to iterate over
entries in a BibTex database.  It additionally provides utility classes
to parse LaTeX strings into plain text representations.

This library is a dependency of citeproc-java [1], which is in turn a
dependency for packaging of JabRef 4.x.  The package will be maintained
by the Java Team.  It is unrelated to the "Japanized BibTeX"
jbibtex-base package [2] (src:ptex-base).

Hi Mechtilde,

Instead of using the sources.jar from Maven Central, is there a reason
that we shouldn't use this repo to build the core module?

The project is active which could be useful for support.

Bug#1057882: ITP: golang-github-howeyc-crc16 -- Implements the 16-bit cyclic redundancy check, or CRC-16, checksum

2023-12-09 Thread tony mancill
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: tony mancill 

* Package name: golang-github-howeyc-crc16
  Version : 0.0~git20171223.2b2a61e-1
  Upstream Author : Chris Howey
* URL : https://github.com/howeyc/crc16
* License : BSD-3-clause
  Programming Lang: Go
  Description : Implements the 16-bit cyclic redundancy check, or CRC-16, 
checksum

 GoDoc (https://godoc.org/github.com/howeyc/crc16) Build Status
 (http://travis-ci.org/howeyc/crc16)
 .
 CRC16
 .
 A Go package implementing the 16-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check, or CRC-16,
 checksum.
 .
 Usage
 .
 To generate the hash of a byte slice, use the crc16.Checksum()
 (https://godoc.org/github.com/howeyc/crc16#Checksum) function:
 .
   import "github.com/howeyc/crc16"
 .
   data := byte("test")
   checksum := crc16.Checksum(data, crc16.IBMTable)
 .
 The package provides the following
 (https://godoc.org/github.com/howeyc/crc16#pkg-variables) hashing tables.
 For each of these tables, a shorthand can be used.
 .
   // This is the same as crc16.Checksum(data, crc16.IBMTable)
   checksum := crc16.ChecksumIBM(data)
 .
 Using the hash.Hash (https://godoc.org/hash#Hash) interface also works.
 .
   h := crc16.New(crc16.IBMTable)
   data := byte("test")
   data2 := byte("data")
   h.Write(data)
   h.Write(data2)
   checksum := h.Sum(nil)
 .
 Changelog
 .
  * 2017.03.27 - Added MBus checksum
  * 2017.05.27 - Added checksum function without XOR
  * 2017.12.08 - Implement encoding.BinaryMarshaler and
encoding.BinaryUnmarshaler to allow saving and recreating their
internal state.

The rationale for packaging is github.com/howeyc/crc16 is that it is a
dependency of github.com/harenber/ptc-go, which will permit enabling

Thomas Hood and I are orphaning mwavem as neither of us have interest

Bug#608285: RFS: libconcurrentlinkedhashmap-java (new package needed for Grails)

2011-01-04 Thread tony mancill
Hello Miguel,

One thing that's interesting is none of the files under ./unittest/
carries a license, although it seems reasonable to assume that they are
under the same license as the library source itself, given they are by
the same author.  I'm wonder if it's common not to license unit tests...

In any event, the packaging looks clean, and good job of documenting in
debian/copyright.  I have uploaded it.

Cheers,
tony

Bug#608284: RFS: xhtmlrenderer (new package, needed to package Grails)

2011-01-12 Thread tony mancill
Hi Miguel,

The packaging looks good.  However, unfortunately there are a number of
source files that carry neither a copyright nor an author.  For example:

./src/java/org/xhtmlrenderer/tool/Boxer.java

or less trivially:

./src/java/org/xhtmlrenderer/simple/PDFRenderer.java

It might be worth clarifying with upstream before uploading to the archive.

tony

Hi Miguel,

In lieu of a new upstream release, an email from the upstream clarifying
the license for those files could be added to debian/copyright would
probably be sufficient.  Another option would be to drop the files under
./test/ in a DFSG version of the tarball.  Andrew Ross did this recently
for another package I sponsored.

Cheers,
