Bug#701613: ITP: python-oerplib -- client library to remotely pilot an OpenERP server

2013-02-25 Thread W. Martin Borgert
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: python-modules-t...@lists.alioth.debian.org

Package name: python-oerplib
Version : 0.7.0
Upstream Author : Sébastien ALIX 
URL : http://packages.python.org/OERPLib/
License : LGPL3
Programming Lang: Python
Description : client library to remotely pilot an OpenERP server
 Features supported:
  - `XML-RPC` and `Net-RPC` protocols,
  - access to all methods proposed by an `OpenERP` model class
(even ``browse``) with an API similar to the server-side API,
  - ability to use named parameters with such methods (`OpenERP` >= `6.1`),
  - user context automatically sent (`OpenERP` >= `6.1`),
  - browse records,
  - execute workflows,
  - manage databases,
  - reports downloading.


Note: This client library is independent of packaging the OpenERP
server. It might, however, help in testing the server package.

Bug#701625: ITP: txtorcon -- Twisted-based asynchronous Tor control protocol implementation

2013-02-25 Thread Jérémy Bobbio
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Jérémy Bobbio 

* Package name: txtorcon
  Version : 0.7
  Upstream Author : meejah 
* URL : https://github.com/meejah/txtorcon
* License : Expat
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Twisted-based asynchronous Tor control protocol 
implementation

txtorcon main feature is to present an asynchronous API to speak the Tor client
protocol in Python. It also provides abstractions to track and get updates
about Tor's state and current configuration (including writing it to Tor or
disk), along with helpers to asynchronously launch slave instances of Tor
including Twisted endpoint support.

Twisted is an event-driven networking engine written in Python and Tor is an
onion-routing network designed to improve people's privacy and anonymity on the
Internet.

Re: Getting Intel Cedarview drivers into Debian

Hi Debian developers,

I'm working as a consultant on a project to develop drivers for the
PowerVR graphics processor in the Cedarview family of Intel Atom
microprocessors in a Debian environment.  The current target is Wheezy,
and Intel wishes to get the drivers into the official distribution.

What they've failed to take into account is that Wheezy is currently
frozen in preparation of release, so I'm more than a bit skeptical of
getting a new package in (I was only brought in to the project very
recently).  However, I promised to ask you about this, so here we go.

It should be noted that due to licensing issues, the driver will be
closed source.  The kernel component is under the GPL, so a dkms package
will be made.

There's also one kernel patch that needs to be applied to Wheezy's
kernel for the driver to function.  The patch has been accepted to the
mainline kernel, and my understanding is that it's included in the 3.7
release[1].

On to questions:

1. Is there any possibility of getting the drivers in the initial Wheezy
release?  If so, what needs to happen on our end?

2. What about a subsequent update to Wheezy?  I wasn't able to find
information on what kinds of changes are permitted.

3. Neither us nor Intel has any Debian developers on our respective
payrolls.  What's the best approach for maintaining the package?  Should
someone from Intel become a maintainer, or are there some existing
developers or maintainers that can take responsibility of the package
after the initial work is complete?

Hi!

Has been there any progress related to this?

Ubuntu 12.04 has this drivers already packaged. You can take their
packages and adapt them to Debian Wheezy.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/cedarview-drm
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/cedarview-graphics-drivers
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise-updates/libva-cedarview-vaapi-driver


Unfortunately Ubuntu packages won't work on Debian Wheezy because the
binary blob for the Xorg driver (cedarview-graphics-drivers) is linked
with glibc 2.15 and Wheezy has 2.13.


I would be interested in testing any package that you may have for
Wheezy. Just let me know about it.


Regards!


There's been some progress, but unfortunately we've found way more 
problems than we expected.  Much of this is result of us receiving an 
incorrect version of the driver source code.  The project has been on 
hold during February while the sales departments have discussed its 
continuation.  It looks like it's resuming now, but there are still 
issues that need to be resolved for the driver to be considered 
production quality.

Can you comment about the version of the DDK that you will be using?

AFAIK all the version of this driver out there
(Ubuntu/Meego/Fedora/Intel[1]...) are all based on the Device Driver Kit
(DDK) version 1.7 ED862890 from Imagination Technologies (IMG).
Basically is the same code compiled for different targets.

Will the packages you are planning for Wheezy be based also on this
version of the DDK (1.7-ED862890) or it will be based on a new
(improved?) version of the DDK?

I'm interested in knowing if Intel/Imagination has plans for an improved
version of this driver, because the one already available out there is a
nightmare in terms of performance.

Thanks!

Hi,

Argh, now I realized this process library is already included in ghc
package on Debian...I withdraw this ITP.  Sorry.

Best regards,

No, but the BTS is (to some extent), and there are various tools that
suggest the package "general" if you don't know what the exact buggy
program is. When doing that, the package ends up on debian-devel.

Since the bug reporter mentioned he tried to use a gnome settings tool
to switch languages, but that it didn't work, I'm reassigning this bug
to gnome-settings-daemon (at a guess, but that does *seem* to be the
most appropriate).

Yes, that might help this particular user; but if there is a tool that
claims to be able to do something but isn't, then that is a bug.

I can think of several ways to fix it: the tool could display a helpful
error message when the user selects a language that isn't enabled in
/etc/locale.gen, or it could simply disable all languages not found
there (again, with a helpful message for where to look if a wanted
language isn't in the list), or it could emulate KDE and use a totally
different way of doing language support (though that wouldn't be my
preference), or it could keep it simple and simply display a warning
message above the list of languages to select that languages listed here
must also be enabled through "dpkg-reconfigure locales", or any of a
number of other things.

At any rate, a bug severity of "important" does not seem right to me.
