devscript had only Perl and Shell scripts initially, but then gained
Python scripts. I don't see any reason to not accept ruby script. ruby
would pull in another ~ 13 MB of storage, but devscripts targets
developer machines.

Hi,

As much as I would like to have this number of problem go down, this has
nothing to do with *security* support of the very-old-stable distro as
we discussed. Besides this, the plan is to support *some* of the
very-old-stable for security, and to only track problems for the
packages which nobody cares. At least *I* do not intend to support
absolutely all of the packages.

For example, taking examples from your list, if we were talking about
Squeeze EOL, I wouldn't care about python-pip and python-virtualenv,
though I could care more about other python modules which I would use in
production (no example here, sorry).

That being said, I also would like to highlight the fact that it's quite
difficult to convince the release team that all of these bugs needs to
be fixed. For example (on one of my packages, so please don't use a
stick to beat me on it, and stick to the current discussion), see
#710507. I have made a fix for it, as well as many others in the same
source package, but no reply from the release team for more than 20 days
(see #719632 for the p-u discussion). I don't think this is an isolated
case. Though that's annoying that it is stalled, because there's a CVE
included in the list of fixes.

I'm in no way complaining about the release team. I know they are busy,
that they try to minimize problems introduced by changes, and that peer
review takes a lot of time. Though the fact is, because of it, some
people (not including myself) have completely (and understandably) given
up updating stable, and the list of bug you see there could be partly
due to it.

I'm not sure what is the way forward. On one side, relaxing the rules to
get fixes in could be dangerous, and on the other hand, blocking fixes
isn't nice. I'd vote for a bit more relaxed policy, but I would
understand anyone thinking otherwise.

Cheers,

Thomas

P.S: Also (and with all due respect I have for someone like you, Holger)
please avoid pointing fingers at a group of people that have the will to
do things. This is counter productive.

I tried:

- change sources.list to point to sid
- apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade
- texlive-lang-danish gets removed (as well as texlive-common

You need transitional packages here.

Yes, and? Was the dist-upgrade disturbed?
We are talking about normal systems, that is having telxive or texlive-full

I *can* provide transitional packages to make it nice for the user

Since TL2005 that is nearly 8 years ago we practiuically haven't change

OK, let's try again:
- in wheezy, install texlive and texlive-lang-dutch
- dist-upgrade to sid: texlive-lang-dutch is removed, texlive-lang-european
  is not installed
That's wrong.

It's not about world collapse. It's about doing upgrades without
removing functionality when it's possible, which is something we care
about in Debian AFAIK. Why should texlive be different?

I absolutely do not want to see anything related to ruby on my
systems.

And the people I know who are ruby fanboys always tell to *uninstall*
the packaged ruby anyway and install it via this ugly curl|sudo bash
thingy *shudder* because apparently the packaged version troubles their
ugly method.

So both the ruby haters and the ruby fanboys will not like this.

I’d not mind having a source package (like moreutils) generate
multiple binary packages, one of which would contain the ruby… stuff.
As long as it doesn’t get needed…

In fact… there’s “micro” stuff written all the time; I’ve been
approached about packaging scripts, several times, and rejected
because waldi (my original sponsor) explained about the expensiveness
of packages, especially binary packages. If we could make some sort
of effort to collect them… (maybe as native package in collab-maint?)

2013-09-04 Thread Ximin Luo
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ximin Luo 

* Package name: flashproxy
  Version : 1.2
  Upstream Author : David Fifield 
* URL : http://crypto.stanford.edu/flashproxy/
* License : MIT
  Programming Lang: Python, JavaScript, Go, Shell
  Description : ephemeral browser-based pluggable transport for Tor

Flash proxies are a new way of providing access to a censorship circumvention 
system such as Tor. A flash proxy is a miniature proxy that runs in a web 
browser. It checks for clients that need access, then conveys data between them 
and a Tor relay.

Tor has bridge relays, but in some cases even these can be blocked despite the 
fact that their addresses are handed out only a few at a time. The purpose of 
this project is to create many, generally ephemeral bridge IP addresses, with 
the goal of outpacing a censor's ability to block them. Rather than increasing 
the number of bridges at static addresses, we aim to make existing bridges 
reachable by a larger and changing pool of addresses.

I misspoke.  There is a Conflicts in texlive-base, but what is probably
needed is Provides in texlive-lang-european.  As I understand it, that
will prompt apt to DTRT on upgrade.

Since nobody is worried about versioned dependencies here, I think that
would suffice.  No need for 30 transitional packages.  But I haven't
tested it.

Why?  Is this just an emotional reaction, or is it the 13 MB of
dependencies, or something else?

I wonder if anyone feels the same way about, say, libraries written in
FORTRAN, or binaries linked against libX11.

Unless apt has gotten smarter recently (which is not out of the question),
no.  It's a common misconception that apt will care about Provides/Replaces
for selecting new packages on dist-upgrade, but while it seems like a nice
idea, TTBOMK it's never been implemented.

From experience, lots of people feel the same way about binaries linked
against libX11.  I think FORTRAN is probably less of an issue for people,
because it's a much smaller runtime (Installed-Size: 1195).

But I would also not like to see devscripts depend on ruby - not just
because I don't want to have the runtime installed for a language that I
don't speak[1], but because letting people write devscripts in whatever
language they feel like turns that package into a maintenance nightmare down
the line, by further fragmenting your pool of maintainers.  Sure, accepting
scripts in ruby means you will get contributions from people who write in
ruby who might otherwise not have contributed, and you may have people
participating in maintenance who would like to help in ruby and otherwise
wouldn't help.  But on the flip side, for the package to be well-maintained
you now *have* to have maintainers working in each of perl, python, and
ruby, and the members of the maintenance team are now that much less able to
step in for one another.

And on a completely unrelated note, discussions at DebConf about multiarch
handling of interpreters reveals that devscripts has its own special
problems just by depending on perl + python.  Maybe people should see the
fix required for this before deciding to make devscripts depend on more
interpreters. ;)

Over in RPM land, I think they have a Obsoletes relation for a 'you
should consider this package a successor to  package'

I have missed such a thing from time to time.

Something else, mostly technical, the rest personal.

I know about people who have similar reactions against pretty
much any programming language in existence, X11 binaries (indeed),
dynamically linked binaries, copyleft code and non-free stuff.

  to continue this for the lifetime of the jessie release:

  For SPARC64, I
  - test a lot of the packages for KDE4 Desktop
  - testing and currently preparing patches for Iceweasel
  - test Vanilla build of the Linux kernel, trying to find out why
everything after 2.8 breaks certain builds.
  - currently own a Sun Blade 2500, a Netra X1, and a SunFire T2000
  - help port random projects to Sparc64

  For Alpha, I
  - test basic functionality of Xorg and XFCE
  - port random projects to Alpha

Bug#721889: ITP: php-patchwork-utf8 -- UTF-8 strings handling for PHP

2013-09-04 Thread David Prévot
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: David Prévot 

* Package name: php-patchwork-utf8
  Version : 1.1.11
  Upstream Author : Nicolas Grekas 
* URL : https://github.com/nicolas-grekas/Patchwork-UTF8
* License : Apache-2.0 or GPL-2
  Programming Lang: PHP
  Description : UTF-8 strings handling for PHP

 Patchwork UTF-8 provides both a portability layer for Unicode handling in PHP,
 and a class that mirrors the quasi complete set of native string functions,
 enhanced to UTF-8 grapheme clusters awareness.
 .
 Patchwork UTF-8 provides pure PHP implementations for mbstring, iconv, and
 intl. The following set of portability-fallbacks allows an application to run
 on a server even if those extensions are not enabled:
 .
  * utf8_encode, utf8_decode,
  * mbstring: mb_convert_encoding, mb_decode_mimeheader, mb_encode_mimeheader,
mb_convert_case, mb_internal_encoding, mb_list_encodings, mb_strlen,
mb_strpos, mb_strrpos, mb_strtolower, mb_strtoupper,
mb_substitute_character, mb_substr, mb_stripos, mb_stristr, mb_strrchr,
mb_strrichr, mb_strripos, mb_strstr,
  * iconv: iconv, iconv_mime_decode, iconv_mime_decode_headers,
iconv_get_encoding, iconv_set_encoding, iconv_mime_encode,
ob_iconv_handler, iconv_strlen, iconv_strpos, iconv_strrpos, iconv_substr,
  * intl: Normalizer, grapheme_extract, grapheme_stripos, grapheme_stristr,
grapheme_strlen, grapheme_strpos, grapheme_strripos, grapheme_strrpos,
grapheme_strstr, grapheme_substr.
 .
 The Patchwork\Utf8 class implements the quasi-complete set of native string
 functions that need UTF-8 grapheme clusters awareness. Function names,
 arguments and behavior carefully replicates native PHP string functions.
 .
 Some more functions are also provided to help handling UTF-8 strings
 .
  * isUtf8(): checks if a string contains well formed UTF-8 data,
  * toAscii(): generic UTF-8 to ASCII transliteration,
  * strtocasefold(): unicode transformation for caseless matching,
  * strtonatfold(): generic case sensitive transformation for collation
matching
 .
 Mirrored string functions are: strlen, substr, strpos, stripos, strrpos,
 strripos, strstr, stristr, strrchr, strrichr, strtolower, strtoupper,
 wordwrap, chr, count_chars, ltrim, ord, rtrim, trim, str_ireplace, str_pad,
 str_shuffle, str_split, str_word_count, strcmp, strnatcmp, strcasecmp,
 strnatcasecmp, strncasecmp, strncmp, strcspn, strpbrk, strrev, strspn, strtr,
 substr_compare, substr_count, substr_replace, ucfirst, lcfirst, ucwords,
 number_format, utf8_encode, utf8_decode.


I intend to maintain it under Debian PHP PEAR umbrella, and get rid of
the embedded copy from the current version of owncloud.

Regards

David
