Hi there!

  Description : simple and fast implementation of Fisher's exact test
  Fisher's exact test is a statistical significance test used in the
  analysis of contingency tables where sample sizes are small.
  .
  This package implements the Fisher's exact test as a Python Extension
  Module.

I cc:ed the debian-python@l.d.o mailing list, maybe someone there is
interested in packaging it.

The src/cfisher.pyx file contains the following statement:

  "some of this code is originally from the internet. (thanks)"

I also cc:ed the upstream authors for their comments on that sentence,
FTR the file contains references to three URLs, so I guess this is the
code taken from the Internet.  What is its license?

SuSv3 -- POSIX:2001
SuSv4 -- POSIX:2008

So if they're in SuS, they're specified by POSIX :)

While I've read the SuSv3 quite thoroughly, I have yet to study the
SuSv4, so I dunno how big the differences are, and if any of them are
important.

Re: Greaat disappointment

2011-09-30 Thread Yaroslav Halchenko 
Hi Qactuar,

NB: crossposting to debian-devel since my question below is Debian
developers oriented

sad to hear that you had such a displeasure... as an excuse I can only
say that it is not necessarily that people who "advised" you on the IRC
channels you have tried -- are the ones who "develop" Debian.  Chat
rooms are open to anyone to participate so YMMV, so if I were you I
would be more careful on the judgments  about the project.  As far as
installation goes -- it should have been quite straightforward having
you chosen official images/instructions from
http://www.debian.org/distrib/ and just following questions of Debian
installation process which gives you options to facilitate installation
of Debian in your scenario.  If something doesn't work -- then
please state what was not...

BUT your unfortunate experience lead me to actual question now:  why
http://irc.debian.org leads to a webpage which visually seems to have
nothing with Debian in its appearance?  I understand that it leads to
OFTC servers, but indeed it might be  confusing for newcomers.  Could we
ask for a VirtualHost entry for "irc.debian.org" with few simple
pages so we have adequate appearance/description ?

Cheers,

The quality of support on IRC varies.  That said when you join #Debian the 
Topic includes "/msg bots NOT people" which is pretty clear for anyone who 
knows IRC well.  It would be good if http://deb.li/IRCFAQ also included this 
in a longer form for people who aren't into IRC.

Finally this "I was going to be a big customer" line is commonly used by 
dissatisfied people.  Making up exaggerated claims isn't going to make us take 
him seriously.  The number of people who falsely claim to be millionaires 
vastly outnumbers the number of real millionaires - many of whom don't tell 
people how much money they have for obvious reasons.  That sort of thing is 
just annoying.

In any case I think we should welcome forks, any fork has to be under a 
compatible license, therefore we can incorporate changes if they are 
beneficial.  So if he is a millionaire then creating another Canonical would 
be a good thing to do, it's not as if Debian needs the money, it seems that we 
always have a lot of money and not that much to spend it on.

Yes, calling people "dumbass" is a good way to not get your question answered.  
Another is to make ageist aspersions, there are more than a few Linux experts 
who are less than 14yo.  The youngest person to give a presentation at LCA was 
13 at the time - someone who can get their talk accepted by one of the most 
prestigious Linux conferences can probably answer IRC questions better than 
most people...


As an aside, is there any good paid Linux answer service?  When someone who 
has millions of dollars to spend but who can't get along with IRC people then 
it would surely be better for them to pay someone to answer their question.

My past experience is that when one of my clients wants to pay a DD $100US by 
PayPal they get quality advice, assistance, and on occasion new features at 
fairly short notice.  Speaking for myself a message saying "please answer the 
following question ASAP for $100 by PayPal" will really get my attention.
