This is list is for development of Debian, your question should be 
posted on debian-user instead (or one of the debian-user- 
lists).

Kind regards,

Development of Debian, not development of mplayer. :)

This list is for development *of* Debian, not (technical) *use* of 
Debian - e.g. port a Debian source package).

Hope that helps,

Curses!  My plan to make Debian's default init system phone home has been

It was probably those meddling kids and their dog.

While these concerns are certainly serious, they do not concern the 
"Development of Debian". 

> Any reason Debian should be so closely linked to Ubuntu?

No reason besides the fact that a central part of what we do is about sharing 
it for others to reuse.

So please bring your concerns to another list (probably a non-Debian list in 
this specific case as this is nothing Debian can do about).

Cheers,

OdyX

We should make sure that people have to ask our permission before they use
our code for any other purpose!  And make sure they can't do evil with it!

I totally agree! Anyone who uses debian source or binary packages
should automatically phone to SPI.

BTW, I am slightly confused is this debian-curiosa or debian-devel?!

Dmitrijs.

Re: Ubuntu have done it again,

[Ean Schuessler]

I think RMS has done exactly what needed doing. Ubuntu is trying to find a way 
to generate revenue and RMS raises some perfectly points about why he 
disagrees. He is exactly the right guy to speak out about it because it is in 
line with his "brand image". Kind of like shock-jock, Howard Stern, part of 
RMS's lovable style is his crumudgeonly and passionate outspoken statements. He 
likes to be at the center of controversy and that works for him. Like Stern, 
even when you hate on him you are talking about him and that only makes him 
bigger.

Debian's positive aspects, on the other hand, are more about openness, 
stability, longevity and a consistency of purpose. We have enough trouble with 
our screaming bad-boy "flame-on" image. Nothing about the feature that 
Canonical built violates the Debian Free Software Guidelines. If people find it 
convenient and useful to install a system that converts local disk searches 
into e-commerce queries then that is totally A-OK. Its a "free country". If you 
don't care for the idea then you should do the same thing as RMS and write a 
blog entry about how bad you think it is. Maybe it will change people's minds 
or maybe people will think you are wrong. That is the way opinions work.

I don't see that it is productive for the Debian project itself to make an 
official statement. Complying with the tenets of Free Software while, 
simultaneously, trying to make your payroll is a hard problem. Plenty of other 
partners (ie. Google) do similar things with proprietary builds of Free 
Software projects (ie. Chromium). I don't think, as a project, we know the 
answers to these questions in a comprehensive way. It is a work in process.

Bug#695435: ITP: scanbd -- scanner button daemon acting on events such as button presses, etc.

[Rolf Leggewie]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Rolf Leggewie 

* Package name: scanbd
  Version : 1.2.1
  Upstream Author : Wilhelm Meier 
* URL : http://sf.net/projects/scanbd
* License : GPL v2 or later
  Description : scanner button daemon acting on events such as button 
presses, etc.

"scanbd is a scanner button daemon. It polls the scanner buttons looking
for buttons pressed or function knob changes or other scanner events as
paper inserts / removals and at the same time allows also
scan-applications to access the scanners. If buttons are pressed, etc.,
various actions can be submitted (scan, copy, email, ...) via action
scripts. The function knob values are passed to the action-scripts as
well. Scan actions are also signaled via dbus. This can be useful for
foreign applications. Scans can also be triggered via dbus from foreign
applications. On platforms which support signaling of dynamic device
insertion / removal (libudev, dbus, hal) scanbd supports this as well.
scanbd can use all sane-backends or some special backends from the (old)
scanbuttond project."

I'm at a very early stage of evaluating scanbd for my needs. I may end up
not using the software, but I still wanted to make it known out there that
I'm interested and working on it.  I'm cc'ing Jakub who has an open ITP
for scanbuttond which seems to be stalled upstream for about two years now
and apparently superseded by scanbd.  I welcome collaboration by Jakub and
anyone else interested.

I'll probably publish some WIP work at 
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/scanbd.git
soonish.
