Re: The evil build methods of thy libev

Does it even work properly this way?

Linux's biggest disadvantage compared to Windows is the lack of a
standardized event loop that can be used by multiple modules in the same
program (allowing a library to e.g. open a window and add a hook to the
event loop to process window events).

If multiple copies of libev are in the same process, will they communicate
with each other?

I thought this was a post-lenny thing anyway, but if there's only so few
packages left, I'm tempted to not obstruct the removal of gnome-libs for
digitaldj.

Lets say I try to get an upload with the GTK2 patch within a week or so,
would the new digitaldj sitll be allowed in to lenny?

Bug#512629: ITP: pct-wired-setup -- program to configure wired networks with system width configuration

2009-01-22 Thread Jelle de Jong
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Jelle de Jong 


Hello everybody,

I would like to get this program into the debian repository, I will package it 
and 
upload it to debian mentors, I will be looking for a sponser and mentor. This 
package is
part of a larger group of packages that will form the pct-desktop-environment 
that I have
been working on.

Thanks in advance for any feedback and help.

  Package name: pct-wired-setup
  Version : 0.0.2
  Upstream Author : Jelle de Jong 
  URL : 
https://secure.powercraft.nl/svn/packages/trunk/deb/pct-wired-setup/
  License : GPLv3
  Programming Lang: BASH
  Description : program to configure wired networks with system width 
configuration

This package contains a script and configuration system to easy and
efficient configure the /etc/network/interfaces file with configurations
like dhcp, static or bridged network setup. It has a configuration file
structure where different setups can be defined, this makes it easy
to switching between network configuration. The script is designed to
setup and maintain simple network configurations for all network clients.
The package is maintained by PowerCraft Technology. Take a look at the
help argument for all the useful and simple options of this tool.

pct-wired-setup is a helper program to efficient setup common
wired network configurations. You can debug this script by
running it as bash -x pct-wired-setup [options]. The script
is a setup wrapper with a profile system to setup the standard
/etc/network/interfaces file.

Well I think it was originally supposed to be for Lenny, then it kind of 
died.  But with so few packages left, I was asking if it was worth it to 
keep them in Lenny, hence why I mailed this list.  I'm fine either way, 
I was just thinking it might be worth getting it out of Lenny.



Lets say I try to get an upload with the GTK2 patch within a week or so,

I can't speak for the release team but I would think if the changes 
aren't massively intrusive, it would be possible.

Please get in touch with Debian OCaml maintainers (Cc-ed) to maintain
this package, possibly using a git repo under the hood of the
collaborative package maintenance. Also, please read the OCaml policy,
et al. :)

Thanks for your interest in packaging that!

astroinformatics and computer science.

In computer science, the project is investigating different optimization 
methods which are resilient to the fault-prone, heterogeneous and 
asynchronous nature of Internet computing; such as evolutionary and 
genetic algorithms, as well as asynchronous newton methods. While in 
astroinformatics, milky...@home is generating highly accurate three 
dimensional models of the Sagittarius stream, which provides knowledge 
about how the Milky Way galaxy was formed and how tidal tails are 
created when galaxies merge.

Test suites after build and Build-Depends.

2009-01-22 Thread Charles Plessy
Dear all,

I packaged a lot programs that have a test suite, and realised that, in order
to run it after build, the dependancies of the binary package produced must be
present as well. For the moment, I add them in Build-Depends(-Indep), but this
is not satisfactory, because:

- The build dependancy graph becomes unnecessarily complex when running the
  test suite is skipped.

- Information is duplicated between Build-Depends: and the binary packages's
  Depends: field.

Any thoughts?

Have a nice day,

Fwd: Gnomesword, libsword, diatheke, sword modules, bibletime

2009-01-22 Thread jeffrey . ratcliffe

This seems to apply to Debian too (apart from #3).

Regards

Jeff

-- Forwarded message --
From: Refdoc 
Date: Jan 23, 2009 2:45am
Subject: Gnomesword, libsword, diatheke, sword modules, bibletime
To: ubuntu-m...@lists.ubuntu.com



Hi,



I am one of the developers at CrossWire. Several of our programmes are

in your repository, but they are ancient, often 2 or more releases

behind us.



I have tried on several occasions to contact the maintainer listed but

to little avail.



I asked eventually on #ubuntu-devel and was advised to mail to you.



As we see it, following is wrong:



1) libsword is at 1.5.11 - if you wait a couple of weeks probably at

1.5.12. You keep 1.5.9. 1.5.9 is nearly 2 years old. The functional

increase is massive.



2) libsword should be compiled with ICU to allow it full function. It is

not.



3) you should not maintain sword modules as all our programmes have a

module manager which will download modules directly. Installing modules

via apt-get renders the module manager non-functional as the modules are

installed by apt-get into non user writable areas (/usr/share/sword

instead of ~/.sword)



4) diatheke is a commandline utility which can if carefully handled also

be used as a base for CGI script. The example CGI code coming along with

it is not meant to be exposed to the internet - at least not in this

form. Therefore the dependency on Apache is wrong. Most users will use

diatheke only as commandline routine, never as CGI.



5) Gnomesword is ancient history. All bug reports you have on file for

GS are sorted in upodated versions. Our last release was 2.4.1. we are

currently moving towards the next release - a week or two.



There is probably more to it, but to be honest for years now we direct

everyone to our own debs as Ubuntu and Debian are so out of date.



I would therefore extremely grateful if someone could take this one up

or advise us how to go about submitting a new set of packages ourselves.



Thanks!
