I wonder if contacting DM&P about that upgrade is feasible and a good idea. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
Bug#800579: ITP: abego-treelayout -- Efficient and customizable treeLayout algorithm in Java
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Emmanuel Bourg * Package name: abego-treelayout Version : 1.0.2 Upstream Author : abego Software GmbH * URL : http://treelayout.sourceforge.net * License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: Java Description : Efficient and customizable treeLayout algorithm in Java The TreeLayout creates tree layouts for arbitrary trees. It is not restricted to a specific output or format, but can be used for any kind of two dimensional diagram. Examples are Swing based components, SVG files, and many more. This is possible because TreeLayout separates the layout of a tree from the actual rendering. Treelayout is a dependency of ANTLR 4. It'll be maintained by the Java Team.
Bug#800591: ITP: erlang-oauth2 -- library for server side implementation of OAuth2
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Philipp Huebner * Package name: erlang-oauth2 Version : 0.2015.09.28 Upstream Author : 2015 Paweł Chmielowski; 2012-2014 Kivra AB * URL : https://github.com/prefiks/oauth2 * License : MIT Programming Lang: Erlang Description : library for server side implementation of OAuth2 This library is designed to simplify the implementation of the server side of OAuth2 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749). It provides no support for developing clients. See https://github.com/kivra/oauth2_client for support in accessing Oauth2 enabled services. It is used by ejabberd 15.09.
Bug#800606: ITP: antlr4 -- ANTLR Parser Generator
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Emmanuel Bourg * Package name: antlr4 Version : 4.5.1 Upstream Author : Terence Parr * URL : http://www.antlr4.org * License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: Java Description : ANTLR Parser Generator ANTLR (ANother Tool for Language Recognition) is a powerful parser generator for reading, processing, executing, or translating structured text or binary files. It's widely used to build languages, tools, and frameworks. From a grammar, ANTLR generates a parser that can build and walk parse trees. This package will be maintained by the Java Team.
Bug#800609: ITP: libdevel-confess-perl -- module to include stack traces on all warnings and errors
Package: wnpp Owner: gregor herrmann Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, debian-p...@lists.debian.org * Package name: libdevel-confess-perl Version : 0.008000 Upstream Author : Graham Knop * URL : https://metacpan.org/release/Devel-Confess * License : Artistic or GPL-1+ Programming Lang: Perl Description : module to include stack traces on all warnings and errors Devel::Confess is meant as a debugging aid. It can be used to make a script complain loudly with stack backtraces when warn()ing or die()ing. Unlike other similar modules (e.g. Carp::Always), it includes stack traces even when exception objects are thrown. The stack traces are generated using Carp, and will work for all types of errors. Carp's "carp" and "confess" functions will also be made to include stack traces. The package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Perl Group. signature.asc Description: Digital Signature
Re: Defaulting to i686 for the Debian i386 architecture
question to the Hurd and KFreeBSD maintainers ... change that on these platforms too? On 28.09.2015 23:14, Ben Hutchings wrote: We propose to drop support for i386 processors older than 686-class in the current release cycle. This would include folding libc6-i686 into libc6, changing the default target for gcc, and changing the 586 kernel flavour to 686 (non-PAE). Since the 686-class, introduced with the Pentium Pro, is now almost 20 years old, we believe there are few Debian systems still running that have 586-class or hybrid processors. The only such processors apparently still available for sale are the DM&P Vortex86 family, Intel Quark and Xeon Phi, of which we currently only support the Vortex86. Indeed, the likely reasons for users to choose i386 over amd64 today are to reduce memory consumption or to run i386 binaries for which the source is not available - not because they're using 32-bit processors. The older processors would of course continue to be supported in jessie until at least 2018, and until 2020 if i386 is included in jessie LTS. Maintaining support for these older processors hurts the Debian i386 architecture in several ways: * Prevents optimisation for 686-class without run-time checks or multiple library builds * Divergence from upstream code in various packages which often assume at least 686-class processors * Can require user intervention to install optimised library packages e.g. debootstrap does not install libc6-i686 - Ben Hutchings - Aurelien Jarno - Matthias Klose
Bug#800630: ITP: denyhosts-server -- Denyhosts synchronisation server
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: "Jan-Pascal van Best" * Package name: denyhosts-server Version : 2.0.0 Upstream Author : Jan-Pascal van Best * URL : http://github.com/janpascal/denyhosts_sync * License : AGPL-3+ Programming Lang: Python Description : Denyhosts synchronisation server denyhosts-server is a server that allows denyhosts clients to share blocked IP addresses. It is intended to be a drop-in replacement for the service at xmlrpc.denyhosts.net that up to now has been provided by the original author of denyhosts. This synchronisation server has been written in response to Debian bug#622697. The existing sync server is not free software, is not going to be free software (the author has been asked several times) and has been maintained skimpily over the past 5+ years. A sponsor will be looked for since I am a DM, not a DD.
