RFA bugs are filled against wnpp and there is no way to tell if the Maintainer is subscribed to the bug. If your intent was to look for sponsors there is a special procedure for that, but you should still CC the original Maintainer, as they might want to sponsor you. In the particular case of jabberd2 you should most definitely contact the Maintainer first, because: - it is a Team (they will probably welcome your help) - they are not the original Maintainer who filed the RFA (they may have forgotten to close the bug) Regarding udns, the package doesn't appear to be orphaned (no O: bug against wnpp). In this case uploading a new package might be considered a hijack. If you want to help you should definitely contact the Maintainer first. Kind regards, Andrei P.S.

Math Fonts for Iceweasel and MathJax
Dear Debian maintainers, I raised this issue about math font dependency in Iceweasel a couple of time ago but I still don't see any changes at http://packages.debian.org/sid/iceweasel... The issue was discussed again on the LaTeXML mailing list, so I'm going to report it again. Basically, Iceweasel must not depend on ttf-lyx, ttf-mathematica4.1, xfonts-mathml or any other font packages that would lead to the installation of Computer Modern fonts or Mathematica fonts. These old fonts were used a long time ago in Gecko's MathML engine but now they may give weird rendering bugs if they are still installed. However, the dependency on otf-stix should be preserved and possibly a dependency on fonts-oflb-asana-math should be added: http://packages.debian.org/sid/fonts-oflb-asana-math It would also be great to make Iceweasel depend on the MathJax fonts as they look more like the old Computer Modern fonts. There is one debian package for MathJax here: http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/mathjax but the MathJax fonts should probably be distributed in a separate mathjax-fonts package and the Iceweasel and Mathjax package should depend on that new package mathjax-fonts. The fonts for Iceweasel can be tested in the MathML torture test: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla_MathML_Project/MathML_Torture_Test Can the maintainer of the Iceweasel and MathJax package please do something to address this issue?

On Debian (and other distros), putting them in /usr/share/fonts or a subdirectory will get them picked up by fontconfig and thus most apps on Debian (except software using server-side fonts, see #657565). I would suggest this directory: /usr/share/fonts/truetype/mathjax The package should be named fonts-mathjax.

Re: Math Fonts for Iceweasel and MathJax
Thank you Dmitry. Yes, I don't think it's a problem if you keep the current path and that may probably be best for MathJax users to have the usual path. However, if that's not already the case, I suspect your installation script should use fontconfig or something to make the other programs aware of the MathJax fonts. That said I am neither a font expert nor a debian maintainer, so I guess other Debian people could know better what is the appropriate way to package these fonts. But in any cases, a separate package sounds the right way to do so. On 18/12/2012 14:54, Dmitry Shachnev wrote: Hi Frédéric, I can split the fonts into a separate package.

These include multiple sieving methods, is_prime, prime_count, nth_prime, approximations and bounds for the prime_count and nth prime, next_prime and prev_prime, factoring utilities, and more. . The default sieving and factoring are intended to be (and currently are) the fastest on CPAN, including Math::Prime::XS, Math::Prime::FastSieve, Math::Factor::XS, Math::Prime::TiedArray, Math::Big::Factors, Math::Factoring, and Math::Primality (when the GMP module is available). For numbers in the 10-20 digit range, it is often orders of magnitude faster. Typically it is faster than Math::Pari for 64-bit operations. . All operations support both Perl UV's (32-bit or 64-bit) and bignums. It requires no external software for big number support, as there are Perl implementations included that solely use Math::BigInt and Math::BigFloat. However, performance will be improved for most big number functions by installing Math::Prime::Util::GMP, and is definitely recommended if you do many bignum operations. Also look into Math::Pari as an alternative. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
