Bug#777643: possibly, some keyboard layouts should use U+22C5 DOT OPERATOR instead of U+00B7 MIDDLE DOT

I have mapped some “important” Unicode characters on my keyboard, via ~/.Xmodmap, hiding behind AltGr-something. This includes: Proper quotes, apostrophes, dashes etc: „“ “” ‚‘ ‘’ ’ –² … Arrows: ←↓→↑⇐⇒ Greek letters: αβγδεπ ∀∑ΓΔ∏ Mathematical symbols: ∈≠∞·÷∕−ø∀∃∧∨ Misc: ✓ For something, I use compose sequences, mostly ₁ and ¹ etc. For everything else, I have a Xmonad prompt where I can search in the whole of the unicode spec for character names. So if I type Caps¹-U SNOWMAN I have ☃ in my clipboard. All this is very useful when working with programming languages like Agda or Isabelle, where heavy use of unicode is made. This is where this becomes on topic for the bug report again: Entering Unicode characters this way into Isabelle/jEdit works fine in all cases but for “·”. The symbol gets inserted, but the system does not understand it as the usual dot that one enters with the “\” sequence. Only due to Christoph’s bug report I learned about the difference between the two. And indeed, if I enter his proposed “⋅”, it works! Having had the proper dot on AltGr-. would have saved me many key strokes over the last three years Christoph: You may cite me on that one in the upstream bug report. The fact that Isabelle/jEdit uses the DOT OPERATOR is one data point in favor of your proposal. And I’ll change my mapping right now :–) Greetings, Joachim ¹ Caps is my window manager control key. ² I often use the dash in smilies, i.e. :–) instead of :-), both becaues I have a long nose, but also because it prevents clients from replacing it with pictures that I don’t like. -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nome...@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: F0FBF51F JID: nome...@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Thomas Goirand * Package name: python-gabbi Version : 0.7.1 Upstream Author : Chris Dent * URL : https://github.com/cdent/gabbi * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: Python Description : declarative HTTP testing library Gabbi is a tool for running HTTP tests where requests and responses are represented in a declarative form. . Gabbi works to bridge the gap between human readable YAML files that represent HTTP requests and expected responses and the obscured realm of Python-based, object-oriented unit tests in the style of the unittest module and its derivatives. . Each YAML file represents an ordered list of HTTP requests along with the expected responses. This allows a single file to represent a process in the API being tested. For example: . * Create a resource. * Retrieve a resource. * Delete a resource. * Retrieve a resource again to confirm it is gone. . At the same time it is still possible to ask gabbi to run just one request. If it is in a sequence of tests, those tests prior to it in the YAML file will be run (in order). In any single process any test will only be run once. Concurrency is handled such that one file runs in one process. . These features mean that it is possible to create tests that are useful for both humans (as tools for improving and developing APIs) and automated CI systems.

Even without writing nearly any German anymore I still find the Neo 2 layout
very useful and would not switch back to qwerty:
- compared to English (which is what I write most things in these days) the
distribution of letter frequency in German is not *that* different and still
the key placement is better compared to qwerty
- keys useful for programming like this: \/{}*?()-:@ are all on the baseline
- as Benjamin points out, lots of other exotic characters are easily available
(some keys have SIX layers, so it takes some time to remember which key is
which but there are some handy printouts for the beginning):
http://neo-layout.org/grafik/tastatur2d/matrix_ebene_%5b1%5d2,3,4,%5b5%5d6_%5bMartin%5d.png
- works really well for some other languages that share similar letters like:
* swedish: just replace the letter with the ü with an å
* danish/norwegian: replace ü,ö,ä with æ,ø,å
* (I also heard neo2 works really well for Austrian and Swissian ;)

Just for the record, I am not accusing you of bad faith. I think you have good faith. You are merely acting ineffectively (or counter-productively) by poking on the wrong place and causing somewhat negative impacts to the project. Also, creating a new keyboard assignment table with new name is fine if there is some user base to use it. The family of ibus packages I maintain have so many of them. I have no idea how people use them. But changing the behavior particular keyboard input method is very problematic action to do unless every user of that method wishes the new updated method.

It definitely fix the issue. The start-stop-daemon man page clearly states though, that --background should only be used as a last resort. I would consider this a hack, at best.

It definitely fix the issue. man start-stop-daemon has to say this about the --background option: WARNING: start-stop-daemon cannot check the exit status if the process fails to execute for any reason. This is a last resort, and is only meant for programs that either make no sense forking on their own, or where it's not feasible to add the code for them to do this themselves. I'd recommend against using it if there are other (better) solutions.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Debian Med team X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, debian-...@lists.debian.org * Package name: prokka Version : 1.10 Upstream Author : Torsten Seemann * URL : http://www.vicbioinformatics.com/software.prokka.shtml * License : GPL-3+, CC0-1, CC-BY-ND-3 Programming Lang: Perl Description : rapid annotation of prokaryotic genomes A typical 4 Mbp genome can be fully annotated in less than 10 minutes on a quad-core computer, and scales well to 32 core SMP systems. It produces GFF3, GBK and SQN files that are ready for editing in Sequin and ultimately submitted to Genbank/DDJB/ENA. Prokka is a popular bioinformatics program. It will be team maintained by the Debian Med team.

I believe these days you're supposed to use XKB, which is notorious for
its flexibility and extreme lack of documentation.
Here's an example:
,
| partial
| default
| alphanumeric_keys
| modifier_keys
| xkb_symbols "basic" {
|
| include "us"
| include "compose(paus)"
| include "level3(caps_switch)"
|
| name[Group1]= "USA (Niko)";
|
| // Add additional parentheses to home row
| key { [ h, H, braceleft ] };
| key { [ j, J, parenleft ] };
| key { [ k, K, parenright ] };
| key { [ l, L, braceright ] };
|
| // Add additional dead prefix
| key { [ apostrophe, quotedbl, dead_iota ] };
|
| // Add dead symbols to tilde
| key { [ grave, asciitilde, dead_grave, dead_tilde ] };
|
| // Additional Numlocks
| key { [ equal ] };
| key { [ parenleft ] };
| key { [ parenright ] };
| };
`
if you copy that into /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/mylayout, you can
enable it with "setxkbmap -layout mylayout".
I still haven't found a way to avoid copying this to /usr :-(.
Best,
-Nikolaus

Should we mark #388141 as jessie-ignore?
Hi, Bug #388141 [RC] refers to the relicensing of the debian www pages. After contacting debian-www, it seems that there isn't much interest in fixing it. The next step would involve compiling a list of website lines which are still active yet which relicensing permission has not been received. In any case, even if there is interest in closing this bug, it is definitely more of a long-term thing and is unlikely to be fixed before the jessie release. Because of this, would it be okay to mark it as "jessie-ignore"? Thanks, Riley Baird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Normal kernel is not usable for music production. Can we get updated 3.14.31-rt28 kernel for "Jessie"? regards mira

That's great! Go ahead and retitle the RFA to ITA.

Yeah, unlike tiff and icu which have pending rc bugs that can hopefully
be fixed before jessie by my successor, psutils is not likely to have
any issues like that. Feel free to switch RFA to ITA and upload right
after jessie is released. Thanks!

Bug#778269: ITP: python-mkdocs -- Static site generator geared towards building project documentation
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Brian May * Package name: python-mkdocs Version : 0.11.1 Upstream Author : Tom Christie * URL : http://www.mkdocs.org/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: Python Description : Static site generator geared towards building project documentation MkDocs is a fast, simple and downright gorgeous static site generator that's geared towards building project documentation. Documentation source files are written in Markdown, and configured with a single YAML configuration file. This package is required to build the documentation in the latest upstream version of python-djangorestframework. I plan to maintain this as part of the python modules team. The intention appears to be that mkdocs is used as a standalone application, although it supplies a mkdocs python package which could in theory be called directly. Given the above paragraph, is it still appropriate to build both a python-mkdocs and a python3-mkdocs package?
