I am upstream and there was no public upstream URL at that time.
It can now be found at

Actually I used this as the long description, the short description is:
"known_hosts downloader for OpenSSH" as in the Subject:.

Oh, this is missing in the package description. curl can use https and the 
curl and rsync plugins can do gpg verification.

libgtkada2's upstream includes a copy of gtk+extra2; I don't know how up
to date this bundled version is.  That's why, for the last uploads, I've
built libgtkada2 against the packaged gtk+extra instead of the bundled
copy.  It is quite easy for me to revert that, so please do not ask for
removal of libgtkada2 just yet.

SOA base component packaging

2009-06-28 Thread Josef Spillner
Hello,

I'm currently working on system integration of services and components for 
service-oriented architectures. Among them are a few commonly used base 
components which would be useful to have in Debian, and the rest would rather 
go into a derivative/pure blend due to their specialisation and narrow 
potential userbase.

Instead of heading off to file random RFPs/RFSs for them, I'd prefer a more 
coordinated approach up to the point where one of the release goals for one of 
the next versions could potentially include the SOA-ready buzzword :)
Debian ships with several client packages to often proprietary web services, 
but is not yet a powerful platform for coming up with modern free service 
hosting facilities by itself.

The following functionality is currently not provided by Debian:
* A message-oriented middleware - Apache ActiveMQ could fill this gap.
* Client libraries for OpenWire/Stomp to access the middleware. For my purpose 
I'd need stompcli for PHP5.
* An XML database. Sleepycat/now Oracle Berkeley DB XML seems to have suitable 
licencing terms and good binding support. I'm interested especially in the 
Java version. See #307412 for a former ITP and #524039 for a related Ruby 
bindings package RFP.
* A BPEL engine. There are several of them freely available. Apache ODE would 
be my preference. There are some issues with it, e.g. it doesn't run on 
Debian's tomcat6 package due to permission issues but runs fine on upstream 
Tomcat, so this would require some coordination on Tomcat security policies.
* An OSGi container. Knopflerfish, Eclipse Equinox, Apache Felix come to mind.
* Several Ruby gems, especially httpclient, xml-object and prawn

In addition, several current packages are heavily out of date even in 
unstable, see e.g. #531794 for Ruby and similarly for python-soaplib which 
seems to be taken over by its lxml fork now (remember gcc/egcs).

Assuming that people other than myself are interested in this effort, I would 
create a page on wiki.d.o to track the status. Some initial packaging metadata 
is already available for each package and could easily be imported into, say, 
Alioth.
Discussion might be appropriate on other lists (-java, -ruby, -isp come to 
mind), currently I'm not subscribed to any of them, hence no crossposting.

Josef

for The ATI All-in-Wonder™ HD 3600 series of video cards chipset is
radeon 3650 , the specific card is the VisionTek card (Visiontek ATI
All-in-Wonder™ HD 3650)of the same type. I am aware that ATI/AMD supply
this driver. Just want to know if I can manage easily with Debian.

using libxerces-c-dev instead of libxerces-c2-dev

2009-06-28 Thread Jay Berkenbilt

I've sent a message out to all package maintainers of packages that
depend on libxerces-c2, but in case I missed anyone, this is a request
to use libxerces-c-dev instead of libxerces-c2-dev.

If your package declares a build dependency on libxerces-c2-dev, please
try depending on libxerces-c-dev instead.  The libxerces-c2-dev package
is specifically for the 2.x Xerces C versions, which are now obsolete.
The libxerces-c-dev package will always point to the latest version of
the Xerces C libraries, which are presently version 3.0.1.  Although
there are some source-level API changes between 2.x and 3.x, they only
relate to a small portion of the API.  Many (probably most) packages
will be able to change their build dependencies without running into any
trouble.  For details on the potentially breaking API changes, please
see

http://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/migrate-archive-3.html#Migrateto300

I will eventually be requesting that the xerces 2 packages be classified
as "oldlibs" or maybe removed entirely.  I anticipate not requesting
removal until squeeze+1, but we'll see how it goes.

Thanks!

Bug#534999: RFH: libcap2 -- support for getting/setting POSIX.1e capabilities

2009-06-28 Thread Torsten Werner
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request assistance with maintaining the libcap2 package because the
library is of Priority: standard.

The package description is:
 This library implements the user-space interfaces to the POSIX
 1003.1e capabilities available in Linux kernels.  These capabilities are
 a partitioning of the all powerful root privilege into a set of distinct
 privileges.  Note that it will not provide any functionality with kernels
 below 2.2


Cheers,
Torsten

Bug#535020: ITP: isatapd -- configuration helper daemon for kernel-space ISATAP (RFC5214) IPv6-in-IPv4 tunneling support

2009-06-28 Thread Bernhard Schmidt
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Bernhard Schmidt 


* Package name: isatapd
  Version : 0.9.4
  Upstream Author : Sascha Hlusiak  
* URL : http://www.saschahlusiak.de/linux/isatap.htm
* License : GPLv2
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : configuration helper daemon for kernel-space ISATAP 
(RFC5214) IPv6-in-IPv4 tunneling support

isatapd creates and maintains an ISATAP tunnel (rfc5214) in Linux. 

It uses the in-kernel ISATAP support first introduced in linux-2.6.25. It does
NOT operate the tunnel or handle any IPv6 traffic, it only sets up the tunnel
parameters, the Potential Router List, sends periodic router solicitations and
tries to detect link changes. 

Submitters note: I've already created proof-of-concept .debs. At the moment
they are located in the Ubuntu PPA, but build fine on Lenny.

Bug#535031: ITP: xwax -- Vinyl emulation software for Linux

2009-06-28 Thread Mitchell Smith
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mitchell Smith 

* Package name: xwax
  Version : 0.5
  Upstream Author : Mark Hills 
* URL : http://www.xwax.co.uk/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Vinyl emulation software for Linux

xwax is open-source vinyl emulation software for Linux. It allows DJs and 
turntablists to playback digital audio files (MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, AAC and 
more), controlled using a normal pair of turntables via timecoded vinyls.

It's designed for both beat mixing and scratch mixing. Needle drops, pitch 
changes, scratching, spinbacks and rewinds are all supported, and feel just 
like the audio is pressed onto the vinyl itself.

The focus is on an accurate vinyl feel which is efficient, stable and fast.
