Just wondering, considering the current move *away* from VRML with new
standards like WebGL, is there a compelling reason to add yet another
VRML browser ?

We are currently reworking the non-free support in the buildd
network. In the long term, we want to be able to build whitelisted
packages, and allow contrib packages to use binaries built from
whitelisted package. This is not done yet, but people (more
specifically, Andreas Barth) are working on it.

Is there a good and working VRML browser in Debian?  What is the
package name?  I have been looking for one to look at and transform my
VRML files.  I would love one that could convert to STL format for
processing by 3D printer tools.

There are heaps of VRML files around, and I would love to have the
tools to process them in Debian.

Happy hacking,

Bug#574951: ITP: haskell-event-list -- Event lists with relative or absolute timestamps

[USB]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: "Ernesto Hernández-Novich (USB)" 


* Package name: haskell-event-list
  Version : 0.0.10.1
  Upstream Author : Henning Thielemann 
* URL : http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/event-list
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: Haskell
  Description : Event lists with relative or absolute timestamps

This library provides lists to manage events that are associated with
times. Times may be given as difference between successive events or as
absolute time values. Pauses before the first and after the last event
are supported. The data structures can be used to represent MIDI files,
OpenSoundControl message streams, music performances etc.

This is a building dependency for Haskore, a Haskell DSL and combinator
library for music manipulation and generation.

  Description : Markov Chains for random sequence generation

This library can be used to generate random sequences with a behaviour
adapted to some training data. The algorithm analyses your input/training
data with respect to how likely a given letter follows another one, then
on recomposition it chooses subsequent letters randomly according to the
frequencies found in the training data.

 multiwatch forks multiple instance of one application and

 restart needed if you increase/decrease the number of forks),
 and it is easier than to setup multiple daemontool or runit

Bug#574984: ITP: htmlunit-core-js -- JavaScript language support for HtmlUnit

[Ludovico Cavedon]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ludovico Cavedon 

* Package name: htmlunit-core-js
  Version : 2.7
  Upstream Author : Mike Bowler 
* URL : http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/
* License : MPL-1.1
  Programming Lang: Java
  Description : JavaScript language support for HtmlUnit

 HtmlUnit is a "GUI-Less browser for Java programs". It models HTML
 documents and provides an API that allows you to invoke pages, fill out
 forms, click links, etc... just like you do in your "normal" browser.

 It has fairly good JavaScript support (which is constantly improving)
 and is able to work even with quite complex AJAX libraries, simulating
 either Firefox or Internet Explorer depending on the configuration you
 want to use.

 It is typically used for testing purposes or to retrieve information
 from web sites.

 HtmlUnit is not a generic unit testing framework. It is specifically a
 way to simulate a browser for testing purposes and is intended to be
 used within another testing framework such as JUnit or TestNG. Refer to
 the document "Getting Started with HtmlUnit" for an introduction.

 This package contains the JavaScipt support library. Core language
 support for JavaScript is provided by the Mozilla Rhino engine. What
 HtmlUnit provides are all the browser specific host objects such as
 Document or Navigator.

That is missing some

line (I hope dh supports build-arch and build-indep, not yet looked).

Without that make does not know those are phony, and will not run if any

... which is pretty rare. And if they exist, % and .PHONY don't work too
well together, so you need to replace % with explicit rules.

Bug#575035: ITP: liblog-any-perl -- Perl module for logging mechanisms.

[Ivan Kohler]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ivan Kohler 
Owner: Ivan Kohler 

* Package name: liblog-any-perl
  Version : 0.11
  Upstream Author : Jonathan Swartz 
* URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Log-Any/
* License : Perl
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : Perl module for logging mechanisms.

Log::Any allows CPAN modules to safely and efficiently log messages,
while letting the application choose (or decline to choose) a logging
mechanism such as Log::Dispatch or Log::Log4perl.

Log::Any has a very tiny footprint and no dependencies beyond Perl
5.6, which makes it appropriate for even small CPAN modules to use. It
defaults to 'null' logging activity, so a module can safely log without
worrying about whether the application has chosen (or will ever choose)
a logging mechanism.

The application, in turn, may choose one or more logging mechanisms
via Log::Any::Adapter.

If you reboot the system, you'll probably discover that it works again.
At least, that was my experience.  For some reason, package upgrades can
cause that GNOME menu to stop working in various interesting ways until a
clean system reboot.

Who is running non-free autobuilders

[Michael Hanke]

Hi,

since a while I try to figure out why a package is not being auto-built.
I was suggested to contact the "team that runs the non-free
autobuilders". However, I have trouble finding that team. Whom could I
contact -- neither google nor the wiki seems to know about them.

Thanks for pointers,

Michael

Try some of the contact information in this announcement:
