  Description : extract bibliographic references from various sources

 cb2bib is a program to extract bibliographic references from
 unformatted and non standard sources, like:
  - email alerts;
  - journal Web pages;
  - and most interestingly PDF files. 
 .
 Output references are written to BibTeX-formatted files. Other
 features include:
  - article files can be linked and renamed by dragging them onto the
 cb2Bib window;
  - editing and browsing BibTeX files;
  - citing references, searching references and the full contents of the
 referenced documents;
  - inserting bibliographic metadata to documents;
  - writing short notes that interrelate several references.

Thanks,

Filippo Rusconi

Yes! At least discard arch:any debs, so that we don't need to wait until
building arch:all debs in the autobuilders is possible.

Neither debuild nor dpkg-buildpackage has a a --quiet flag, so I guess

OK, so I am not sure what this has to do with the thread.  Are you
proposing a completely different way of how autoconf packages should get
configured in debian/rules?  What does ./configure --quiet have to do
with compiler warnings or deprecated features?  Does it print out
relevant parts of config.log on failure?  If not, what is the point of
"configure.log", having the same information then than one has now in
general?

> Is it to much to ask?

You can ask anything, the question is whether it gets picked up.  If
what you ask for required changes in most source packages, it is likely
that it will not get picked up.

What I do think might make sense is changing dh7 and/or CDBS to print
out config.log if configure fails; that might help debug problems on the
autobuilders more quickly.

It's possible right now.  You just set $build_arch_all=1 in the sbuild
configuration for a single arch (e.g. i386 or amd64).  You would need
some small changes in wanna-build to track arch-all packages and sources
AFAICT, but it's not a huge task.

Roger

Built a package for fio

2009-05-19 Thread Martin Steigerwald

Hi!

I needed something to try out building a completely new package as Debian New 
Maintainer Guide describes. I looked at packages which are about to be 
packaged and took fio since I am interested in performance tuning as well.

My result is at:
http://people.teamix.org/~ms/debian/lenny/fio/

Hendrik feel free to use or disregard as much of my efforts as you like ;-). I 
know I didn't ask before, but I would have done it anyway for gaining some 
experience and now that I have done it I can as well share my results. Thus I 
wouldn't upload it even if I were a DD.

Problems for packages depending on gtk+extra2

2009-05-19 Thread Neil Williams
http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gtk%2Bextra2.html

$ apt-cache rdepends libgtkextra-x11-2.0-1
libgtkextra-x11-2.0-1
Reverse Depends:
  quicklist
  libgtkextra-x11-2.0-dev
  libgtkextra-x11-2.0-dbg
  libgtkada2.12
  gpsim

GTK+extra is long dead upstream and the previous large reverse
dependency, scigraphica, has already been removed from Debian.
(scigraphics was IIRC, the main reason for having gtk+extra1
in the first place.)

The chances of gtk+extra2 making it into Squeeze are low, principally
because there is simply too much to do to get gtk+extra2 into any kind
of compatibility with GTK+3.

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/04/msg2.html

Any application using libgtkextra-x11-2.0-dev will already FTBFS
if the -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED flag is passed, so when those
deprecated symbols disappear in the GTK+2 to GTK+3 transition, those
problems will become permanent.

I took over upstream of quicklist prior to Lenny so that it could have
a hope of life after gtk1.2 was removed but this proved more difficult
than I expected and although the application builds against current
GTK+2, not all of the previous functionality has been restored and the
core app still needs some deprecated GTK+2 symbols. (This is a valuable
lesson in the results of an over-sentimental approach to bit-rot. It's
taught me that we are too soft on orphaned packages and dead upstreams.)

If gtk+extra2 cannot be ported to GTK+3, there is no hope of keeping
quicklist alive and I refuse to prolong the agony.

Unless someone takes on the unenviable task of updating GtkSheet and
the rest of gtk+extra2, then I will have no option but to orphan both
quicklist and gtk+extra2 with a view to removal.

The current 2.1.1-6 release of gtk+extra2 is therefore likely to be the
last - it already needs autotools hacks to keep it building. I expect
to orphan gtk+extra2 and quicklist in a couple of months time. If you
need it around, speak up soon. When I orphan quicklist in Debian, I'll
also close down the quicklist upstream at SourceForge.

If something happens to cause a FTBFS in gtk+extra2 before GTK+3
arrives, I will probably skip the orphaning stage for both the packages
and go directly for removal. Depending on how things go with GTK+3, if
the deprecated symbols are removed prior to Squeeze, the removals will
have to happen before Squeeze as well.

Only two maintainers are affected, AFAICT, but others may be interested
or concerned about the loss of these packages. I have no idea whether
these packages can be rebuilt without a dependency on gtk+extra2 or
whether the rest of the code would build without other deprecated GTK
symbols. Please don't be sentimental about gtk+extra2 or quicklist and
do not try to persuade me to keep them in - I have no intention of
spending yet more time on packages that have been left too close to the
precipice called "bit-rot". I've learnt that lesson.

>> Goswin von Brederlow wrote:

Debuild already creates a build log. I think it would be nice to
include that file in the changes file and have DAK forward it to
buildd.debian.org for archival.


Thus: my request was more about our infrastructure then the
building tools.

In my experience, the ./configure script are usually too verbose
(whose created with autoconf in particulary). Maintainer tends
not to parse carefully the output of such script, e.g. ask my
sponsorees ;-) , missing important parts.

So, if we centrally save the logs, I would like to allow maintainer to
run configure with --quiet, but also to save extra informations for
late processing.

It is not only build failures, but the log (on file, which is much more
verbose then normal output) contains also other useful informations:
e.g. the compiler and other tool versions, etc.

E.g. if we saw a bug (secutity or also miscompilation) in one package
in the toolchain, we can found what package need to be recompiled (and
in what architecture).
I think such logs are more useful to archive, than the simple stdout/stderr.

BTW I just discovered dh_buildinfo, which unfortunately has no manpage.

I find the choice of archives confusing.  Maybe repositories would fit
