Bug#460103: ITP: python-pipeline -- iterator pipelines for Python

2008-01-10 Thread Jakub Wilk

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Jakub Wilk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

* Package name: python-pipeline
  Version : 0.1.1
  Upstream Author : Jakub Wilk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

  Description : iterator pipelines for Python

python-pipeline provides an easy way to construct pipelines of iterators, 
with a syntax resembling Unix shell. It supplies counterparts for some 
common command-line utilities: cat, cut, echo, grep, head, nl, sort, 
split, tail, uniq, wc, yes.

ITH: xinput

Hi,

Frederic Lepied, original author and debian maintainer of xinput, seems
MIA for a few years.  Upstream maintenance has been taken over recently
at x.org (after attempts to contact Frederic failed), and a new release
is available.  I intend to hijack this package soon, and upload the new
version which adds compatibility with xorg-server 1.4.
Frederic, if you're reading this and object to the hijack, please speak
up.

Cheers,

Bug#460122: ITP: skippy-xd -- a full-screen X11 task/window switcher, similar to OSX Expose

Owner: Jon Dowland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

* Package name: skippy-xd

  Description : a full-screen X11 task/window switcher, similar to OSX

 Skippy-xd is a task-switcher which displays a zoomed-out collage view
 of the currently open windows for the user to select.
 .
 It strongly resembles the "Expose" feature of Mac OS X.
 .
 Skippy-xd will work with any NETWM or GNOME WM Specs compliant
 window-manager.


("skippy", the precursor to this package, already exists in
Debian, but I think the QA guys are circling around it.)

Why don't you patch Lenny's KDE3 so it uses ~/.kde3 and have KDE4 uses the
regular ~/.kde ? I would rather patch the end of life KDE3 than KDE4.

Work-in-progress packages are available from

are in the skippy package, and see which are applicable to the skippy-xd
one, and double-check that the rc syntax hasn't changed between the two,
then I'll push it to mentors.debian.net.

The plan is to use ~/.kde for KDE 3 and for KDE 4. We patched KDE 4
right now, because we are not sure that KDE 4 applications won't eat
your nice and pretty KDE 3 config.
In the long run we want to remove the patch from KDE 4, but we need to
try if this really works first.

Re: List of packages which should probably be Architecture: all

2008-01-10 Thread Raphael Geissert
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello all again,

I just wrote, another, script which downloads the i386 and amd64 'versions'
of the packages listed by the script which checks for empty Build-/Depends
and compares the md5sums (from control.tar.gz) of both packages.

Before I post the results I'd like to clarify that I've noticed that some of
the files which differ from arch i386 to arch amd64 are for example the
compressed Debian package changelog and similar compressed files. Does
anyone has any idea how this could happen? zdiff'ing those files
demonstrates that the files are identical.

Note that this is the raw output of the script, packages which MUST be arch
all (debian-installer is excluded, because of technical reasons) are listed
below the list.

There "MUST" be something wrong with the package then, how is that i386's

I'm, again, sorry for those false positives (didn't expect them by comparing

I don't see this that way. There *might* be a problem in your script or
so.

Note that the i386 package has the following additional Depends line,
compared to the amd64 one.
| +Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-5), libncurses5 (>= 5.4-5)

I guess your scripts are somehow assuming that if one has an empty
Depends line, the other has an empty line as well, or something similar.

Back to grub: Unfortunately, there's no amd64 log (source upload along
with the built binaries…), but it might be that ${shlibs:Depends}
weren't computed correctly or so, so that the Depends line was left
empty.

Indeed, checking a cowbuilder build log:
| dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}

In an amd64 chroot, looking closer:
| $ file debian/grub/usr/bin/mbchk
| usr/bin/mbchk:ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), 
for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, statically linked, stripped

That's also the case for the other binaries, so it results apparently
(I'm no grub maintainer at all) correctly in an empty Depends: line.


> Did you notice the "(U)"? ;)

Yes. I actually expected somehow that you could have noticed that it was
about “grub”.

> I'm, again, sorry for those false positives (didn't expect them by
> comparing md5sums of two different architectures).

I'm not blaming because of false positives. I'd expect more common
sense. Either grub is architecture-dependent, being a low-level stuff,
probably written in C (I know, that might sound like a cliché, but…), or
it is just made out of supercowpowered architecture-independent shell
scripts, but then one might wonder a bit. Seen where it belongs in a
boot sequence?

Reviewing such a short list takes some minutes (to compare with the time
you spent on setting up these scripts), using the main measure when it
comes to being “Architecture: all” or “Architecture: any”: its *content*
(but you know that, I've been repeating this from the very beginning).

Just have a look at gzip headers and you will understand that it stores
the modification timestamp of the original file into the compressed
file. The file utility will show you that.
