These extensions are described in the Grid FTP Protocol document. . In addition to protocol support for grid applications, the FTP Client library provides a plugin architecture for installing application or grid-specific fault recovery and performance tuning algorithms within the library. Application writers may then target their code toward the FTP Client library, and by simply enabling the appropriate plugins, easily tune their application to run it on a different grid. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Config::Model and Augeas are both configuration editing tool. Both parse configuration files in their native formats and transforms them into a tree. Configuration changes are made by manipulating this tree and saving it back into native config files. Both Augeas and Config::Model rely on a tree to represent configuration data. On one side, Augeas is able to load and write data while respecting the structure and comments of the original configuration file. But Augeas purpose is not to validate the semantic content of the configuration file. On the other side, Config::Model is able to validate the semantic content of the configuration file, but it will discard all comments and will write back configuration data using a canonical order. Thus the comments and structure of the original configuration file is not preserved. You can now have the best of both worlds by using the Augeas library to load and write data from Config::Model configuration tree. You can now instruct Config::Model to use Augeas backend in the autoread and autowrite feature. See Config::Model::Autoread for details. Unfortunately, you must ensure that the tree representation specified in Config::Model and Augeas lens are quite close together: - Config::Model element names and Augeas lens names must be identical - Both structures must be very close. Each Config::Model node must have a corresponsing lens.

splitting yui

There is already an open bug for this: #510168. I was thinking about splitting the docs and examples out atleast. That would reduce the size substantially. I don't know if it makes sense to do so for the assets etc. as it is unlikely that the widgets would be used without them unless you were writing your own theme or something. As for the widgets, I invite ideas for how exactly to divide them up. I also note that the yui source package doesn't contain the yui src/ directory, which can be found here: http://yuiblog.com/blog/2009/01/14/github/ http://github.com/yui/yui2/tree/master Personally I don't think the build/ directory in the yui orig.tar.gz is 'source code' in the spirit of the phrase. Obviously that is just my interpretation, others will have different opinions. At the time the package was last updated, the git repository wasn't publically accessible. Now that it is I agree it is a better "source" for the source. However I should note that if you just want to see the uncompressed/unobfuscated javascript code, that is already included in the package. Each widget comes in three flavors, widget-min.js is the compressed version, widget.js is the uncompressed version, and widget-debug.js has added support for logging to a javascript debugger.

Thanks for the pointer.

I think that was already clear to Charles. What I think he meant is
that once 'notest' is widespread enough, its "natural evolution" would
be a way to distinguish dependencies which belong to tests.
Personally, I'd add as a condition for this to be a reasonable
request, the fact that there should be enough packages with enough
test-only dependencies, which I'm not convinced it is the case. If
they are rare enough, debian/control.in + README.Debian-source is the
way to go.
Cheers.

Why so?
I think this is the key of the issue.
I agree with Russ that it is a judgement call, and my personal
judgement would seriously depend on the above question. It is fully
reasonable to believe that the JS file is not obfuscated, but rather
compressed for efficiency reason. But if this is the case, the
original author should have no problem in releasing the fully
commented / indented file.
Arguably, that version is the preferred form of modification, and that
is what I'd want to see in the Debian source package.
If the author is not willing to release the commented / indented file,
I would seriously doubt that the only reason is network efficiency,
and I would personally consider it non-free. But again, I do agree
that it is a subjective matter, and even in the latter case I will not
file the serious bug reports against the other packages.
Cheers.
