So after reading the description and you are still in the dark as to
whether you want to install a package, should you file a bug?

That is too long. Keep the short description to one sentence, preferably
not more than about 60 characters.

You also need to create a long description, so we can review it before

That is NOT a description. That is a copy of the manual page. A
description is a few paragraphs describing what the program does, if it
is a command line tool or a graphical user interface, maybe what its
strengths and weaknesses are, but not which arguments you can specify on
the command line. Have a look at the description of other packages to
see how it should look like.

same here, do we really need a package for a wrapper around xsltproc,
where the GPL header is larger than the script itself?

Re: Bug#441224: ITP: oracleasm -- This is the kernel driver for a generic Linux implementation of ASMLib.

[Bjoern Boschman]

Description: kernel driver for implementation of Oracle ASMLib

Long Description:

ASMLib is a support library for the Automatic Storage Management feature 
of Oracle Database 10g. Automatic Storage Management (ASM) simplifies 
database administration. It eliminates the need for the DBA to directly 
manage potentially thousands of Oracle database files, requiring only 
the management of groups of disks allocated to the Oracle Database. 
ASMLib allows an Oracle Database using ASM more efficient and capable 
access to the disk groups it is using.

Much better! The only thing that is unclear from the long description is
whether this is a library or a kernel driver. Looking at the oracleasm
source, it is indeed a kernel driver. You should mention this in the
long description as well.

On a side note, I tried to compile it on 2.6.22.1 for the amd64
architecture, but it failed.

Do we really need a new package for a 10 lines script ? Can't that be
included in another one ?

Why not to put that script inside the xsltproc package instead of
creating a new one?

Hi,

I already noticed that there are some issues using newer kernel versions 
and I bounced that info to the upstream.


Long Description:

ASM is a support kernel module for the Automatic Storage Management 
feature of Oracle Database 10g. Automatic Storage Management (ASM) 
simplifies database administration. It eliminates the need for the DBA 
to directly manage potentially thousands of Oracle database files, 
requiring only the management of groups of disks allocated to the Oracle 
Database.

ASMLib allows an Oracle Database using ASM more efficient and capable
access to the disk groups it is using.

And with my libxslt maintainer hat on, I must say I'm not against it.

So Loic, if you're okay with the idea, please reassign the bug as a
wishlist against xsltproc. It would also be helpful if you'd attach the
script and the xslt to the bug.

  Thanks a lot. It turns out that getxpath is redundant with xmlstarlet
and is therefore dead before being born ;-)

You are much closer to being able to sway that argument than we: you,
after all, are directly associated with the people who can make that
decision. It would behoove you to at least put significant effort into
what everyone here agrees would be the best way to get Opera working
well with Debian and other free software operating systems.

It would also be very helpful if you could keep us appraised of any
response that you have in this area; otherwise a negative result looks
to us exactly the same as no attempt at all.
