I can't remember that. I however can remember that we agreed that
decisions about individual arches out-of-scope for that bof because we
focuse on things that all 32bit arches have in common.

(We spoke about that the 32bit arches might be dropped at some point
in future, especially if there is no additional use, e.g. all hardware
sold for some time is able to run the 64bit aquivalent, but that's
something else than "agreed after stretch").

With the implemented version Provides, which means having versioned

to pack a collection of different upstream projects or a collection
of versions for the same upstream project.

Either upstream states actual licensing terms, or refer to external 
licensing terms.  It seems we use the term "boilerplate" differently: I 
don't call it "boilerplate" when upstream states actual licensing terms 
(e.g. Expat written out rather than by reference).

Upstream "should" do whatever they want - but yes, if upstream state 
licensing terms ambiguously then we cannot redistribute their project, 
so it makes sense to suggest them to clarify if we are uncertain what 
they mean (e.g. when stating "MIT" without URL or actual licensing terms 
- because that may refer to several different actual terms).

When upstream states "Released under MIT." then a) the actual licensing 
terms are not included and b) actual licensing terms are uncertain. We 
then should add in debian/copyright the upstream statement verbatim, add 
the actual licensing terms - also verbatim, and ideally also add a 
comment on our reasoning for resolving license terms from license grant.

When upstream states "Released under GPL 2." then terms are similarly 
not included but (arguably) certain.  We then should again add in 
debian/copyright the upstream statement verbatim, and (because we can) 
refer to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2. We do *not* need¹ to also add 
the boilerplate included in the GPL license text under the title "How to 
Apply These Terms to Your New Programs" - exactly because we are not 
creating a new program ;-)

If by boilerplate you mean common sets of actual licensing terms (e.g. 
Expat) then true, it might be convenient with a tool that can spit out 
verbatim texts we do not ship below /usr/share/common-licenses.

If by boilerplate you mean common _reference_ for sets of common 
licensing term (e.g. the FSF-recommended text for GPL licenses) then 
wrong: There is no need for adding such additional text to 
debian/copyright if upstream did not state it using those exact same 
words. Because such text is then neither verbatim copy of upstream 
statement nor actual licensing terms.

If you have trouble locating actual licensing terms, then take that as 
indication that those reading the copyright file you are writing may 
have trouble too: When you've succeeded locating the actual licensing 
terms then consider add a comment on where you found them, and your 
reasoning for why that location is believed to be reasonably correct.

Practivally, if you use the machine-readable copyright file format, then 
first line has a URL to a web page, which links to licenses at SPDX: 
http://spdx.org/licenses


Hope that helps,

¹ Lintian may warn about lack of GPL boilerplate in debian/copyright but 
that's because lintian is not clever enough to read human language which

Well, there seems to be different kinds of overhead when it comes to
extremely tiny packages (those with dozens or hundreds of lines of code).

Metadata is one, amount of packages on the distribution, installed systems
and files on the mirrors is another one.

All the above involve in one way or another some overhead on at least
the amount or size of source packages, binary packages, Sources and
Packages indices, package manager databases and possibly increased
dependency complexity, usage on disk after installation, inodes used
on mirrors or installed systems, number of source VCS, etc.

This can have a cost on the mirror network, buildds, on any team doing
distribution wide work, such as the ftp-masters, release, porter, QA or
reproducible teams, tools like lintian, autopkgtest, DUCK, VCS or watch
checkers, britney, botch, etc. On maintainers having to maintain hundreds
of similar tiny packages.


Doing package collections in Debian might reduce part of the above
overhead, but *if* this needs fixing, ideally it should be fixed
upstream. Having to package 100 new upstream release updates instead
of one is significant work, and that cannot be easily skipped if
upstreams do not do the conglomeration themselves.

There are certain things that we could do to reduce overhead in some
places, I don't think we can easily reduce most of the overhead
anyway. For example each source and binary package contain a
changelog, that's usually what takes most space. Even if we went
with my proposal to store that and the copyright files in the dpkg
database, that might only reduce some overhead on installed systems.

If we were talking about few hundred packages, I don't think anyone
would have much of an issue, I guess what people are worried about is
this setting precedent and opening the flood gates. That's probably
one of the reasons people have not tried to inject much of CPAN or CRAN
or similar upstream archives into Debian even if I don't think those
are as tiny as the ones proposed here, and most of it could be automated
for example.

The three things the ftp-masters have stated the copyright file needs,
with their jargon names, are:

- the *copyright statement* (copyright holder, and dates if available)
- the *license grant* (statement by the copyright holder that you may
  copy/modify the work under a specified license)
- the full text of the *license* (which may be replaced by a reference
  to /usr/share/common-licenses if it is one of our common licenses)

The license grant is the statement by your upstream that tells you that
license A applies to work B. Some licenses (like the GPL and MPL) have a
conventional license grant ("boilerplate") that the license author
suggests should be used; but if your upstream has used a different form
of license grant, you should quote what your upstream actually said, not
the conventional boilerplate.

For short BSD-style licenses, the license grant and the license are
often the same thing: the conventional use is to paste the entire
license into each file. For longer licenses like the GPL and MPL, that
would be impractical, so authors put a short license grant in each file,
with a reference to full license text elsewhere.

For instance, take openarena-data:


Most of it is GPL-2 or GPL-2+, with several increasingly short license
grants. I refer to external GPL text because it is in common-licenses,
but if the license was something different (e.g. Creative Commons) then
I would have to quote the full license text instead.

A couple of files are under a simple all-permissive license, which is
included in the relevant files in its entirety (it's only three lines).
Those three lines have two roles: they are the license grant, and also
the full license text.

* URL : https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-poppler-qt5/
* License : LGPL-2.1+
  Programming Lang: Python, SIP
  Description : Python binding to Poppler Qt5 C++ library

 Python binding to libpoppler-qt5 that aims for completeness and for being
 actively maintained.  The bindings closely follow the C++ library API
 documented at http://people.freedesktop.org/~aacid/docs/qt5/ .


More information:

This is a continuation of Ryan Kavanagh 's great work on
python-poppler-qt4 package, but now for Qt5.

Its primary "user" in Debian is Frescobaldi the LilyPond sheet music editor,
written by the same author, Wilbert Berendsen.

I intend to maintain this package inside the Debian Python Modules Team (DPMT)
and to have the python-poppler-qt5 source package reside on Alioth.

Maybe not even then:  I certainly had to call some of the GNOME config tools
in the past even when running KDE, as it also configures application/toolkit
behavior.  I did it from the command-line, though, so I do not recall if
they did show on KDE's menus or not.

Use of these directives really requires careful though about the
implications.  IMO, any use at all of NotShowIn/OnlyShowIn should be a
lintian warning.

I'd even call for it to be a lintian error that must be overriden in a
case-by-case basis only after discussion in a relevant Debian ML, but this
hides potential issues when abused, so it might not be a good idea.

 ALTER (ALignment Transformation EnviRonment) is a tool to transform

 specifications of mainstream alignment and analysis programs rather than
 on the conversion among more or less specific formats.


Remarks:
 Due to the quite generic name ALTER the package is renamed to
 alter-sequence-alignment.

 The ALTER homepage advertises the program as web tool.  Since the
 primary goal to package ALTER was alter.jar as predepencency of some
 Debian Med Java packages the web frontend is not included into the
 packaging.  Feel free to ask the Debian Med packaging team if you are
 interested in this web frontend.

GCC-5 transition will move to testing tonight

2015-09-05 Thread Niels Thykier
Hi,

Thanks to Adam, Julien, Jonathan, Matthias, Scott, Simon and many
others, we are ready to migrate the bulk of the GCC-5 transition and
related sub-transitions to testing tonight.  Apologise for the short notice.

We expect this to be *mostly* a smooth ride, but there are some caveats:

 * We will have to remove some packages from testing temporarily

 * A total of 36 (amd64) / 31 (i386) binary packages will become
   uninstallable in testing.

We kindly ask of your patience while the temporary breakage is being
resolved.  The situation will improve over the next couple of days as we
can easier focus on the remaining issues.


If your package got removed, it will re-enter testing as soon as it is
eligible again.  Please ensure your package has no RC bugs, can build on
all architectures (were it built previously) and it should be back shortly.

Once again, apologies for the short notice.

Thanks,
~Niels

That should have read:

I continue to be impressed at the fine work the release team do for
Debian. Based on conversations at DebConf I'd expected a much longer
period of instability and lack of updates to testing. While I understand
we're not out of the woods yet I'd like to thank everyone who's worked
hard on dealing with this major transition.

  Description : Go language bindings for Apache Mesos
 Pure Go language bindings for Apache Mesos. As with other pure
 implementation, mesos-go uses the HTTP wire protocol to communicate
 directly with a running Mesos master and its slave instances. One of the
 objectives of this project is to provide an idiomatic Go API that makes it
 super easy to create Mesos frameworks using Go.

Indeed.

It's quite some time that I witness this amazing work silently (less
Debian, more running, you know the story) but I'm incredibly
impressed. Kudos, folks (and all "big teams" such as Python packagers,
Perl packagers, KDE team, etc.) for your work even though my favourite sports
tracking application  got killed for a few weeks because of the
transition...:-)...and even though I sufferred quite painfully from
the Plasma 5 transition, in unstable.

Bug#798141: ITP: python-abstract-rendering -- Rendering as a binning process

2015-09-05 Thread Diane Trout
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Diane Trout 

* Package name: python-abstract-rendering
  Version : 0.5.1
  Upstream Author : Joseph Cottam 
* URL : https://github.com/JosephCottam/AbstractRendering
* License : BSD-3-Clause
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Rendering as a binning process

 In most visualization systems, the pixels are tucked away under
 levels of geometric abstraction in the rendering system (such as
 circles, squares, and text). Abstract Rendering takes the opposite
 approach: expose the pixels and gain powerful pixel-level
 control. This pixel-level power is a complement to many existing
 visualization techniques. It is an elaboration on rendering, not an
 analytic or projection step, so it can be used as epilogue to many
 existing techniques.

This is a dependency for bokeh 0.9.3 (and probably later)

I have my preliminary packaging at https://github.com/detrout/python-abstract-
rendering
Though I need to figure out how to adapt it for the python modules team.
