Bug#551982: ITP: python-carrot -- An AMQP messaging queue framework
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: David Watson X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: python-carrot Version : 0.6.0 Upstream Author : Ask Solem * URL : http://pypi.python.org/pypi/carrot * License : BSD Programming Lang: Python Description : An AMQP messaging queue framework AMQP is the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol, an open standard protocol for message orientation, queuing, routing, reliability and security. The aim of carrot is to make messaging in Python as easy as possible by providing a high-level interface for producing and consuming messages. At the same time it is a goal to re-use what is already available as much as possible. carrot has pluggable messaging back-ends, so it is possible to support several messaging systems. Currently, there is support for AMQP (py-amqplib) and STOMP (python-stomp). There is also a in-memory backend for testing purposes that uses the Python queue module. -- David Watson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

pdns (PowerDNS): need new (co)maintainer
Hi, everyone... Matthijs Mohlmann and me are the current maintainers of the "pdns" package. It is a (DNS) name server software that can use different database backends like MySQL, PostgreSQL or SQLite and is used by large organisations with many domains to maintain their DNS zones. In addition there is a simpler package "pdns-recursor" which is just handling recursive DNS queries because that functionality has been split off. I personally used PowerDNS in the past but not any more. So I have less personal interest in the package now. Matthias does not have enough free time to handle the package alone. Thus we are looking for help with the package. The packages are currently maintained in Git but that's not mandatory. The upstream is nice and helpful. There are a few bug reports open but most of them are already forwarded to the upstream developer. The package might just need some love by uploading updated debconf translations, tidying up the init.d script etc. So it's not in a terribly bad shape. But considering the amount of time we spend on maintaining the package it will probably become worse.

Bug#552000: ITP: rawtherapee -- A free RAW converter and digital photo processing software
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org Package name: rawtherapee Version: 2.4.1 Upstream Author: Gábor Horváth URL: http://rawtherapee.com License: will be GPL in the future Description: A free RAW converter and digital photo processing software RawTherapee is used to adjust some of the most often changed parameters when optimizing digital images. A normal user often just wants to adjust the white balance or brightness of a photo he took. Instead of using a big and expensive image editor you could use a small and fast (specialized) tool like RawTherapee. More and more cameras also support RAW formats. RAW files usually offer higher color depth than JPGs (JPG is limited to 8 Bit per color). So the adjustments are done with the high color depth and then afterwards converted to or saved as JPGs. RawTherapee supports JPG (8 bit), PNG (8 or 16 bit) and TIFF (8 or 16 bit). All image processing is done in 16 bit/channel mode. Different to other RAW converters it can use EAHD as demosaicing algorithm. The raw loading engine of RawTherapee is based on dcraw (RawTherapee 2.4.1 uses DCRaw 8.97). According to http://rawtherapee.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9181 (last post) it will be GPL'd. The GPL'd version it the one I intend to package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

I fail to see how this concern should be related with your (great!, BTW)
helper. Nitpickers exist already now as well as bikeshedder. They can
report nitpick/bikeshed bug already using plain old reportbug, without
even bothering to create a patch.
Even if your helper can make their life easier, it is IMO no excuse for
finding ways to prevent those people to use the tool, make it harder to
find, etc. Pointless bug will be closed and/or set +wontfix as they are
today.

That normaly gives an error 'init: timeout opening/writing control channel /dev/initctl'.

Bug#551992: general: stopping squeeze chroot shuts system
All, very sorry for the confusion about stopping the chroot. I think the easiest way is to include the script we use to 'start' and 'stop' chroots. Some notes; - I haven't written the script, so any geniality or stupidity isn't mine - For managing different chrooted environments it works really great. - Using scripts like these we can move applications in dedicated chroots extremely fast across our 2 datacenters. - I know we use an outdated form of technology, it works though.
