How many packages in Debian actually use guile makefiles?

  Description :  audio plugin host supporting  LADSPA, DSSI, LV2 and VST
formats

Carla is an audio plugin host, with support for many audio drivers and plugin
formats.
It has some nice features like automation of parameters via MIDI CC (and send
output back as MIDI too) and full OSC control.
..
Carla currently supports LADSPA (including LRDF), DSSI, LV2, VST2/3 and AU
plugin formats, plus GIG, SF2 and SFZ file support.
It uses JACK as the default and preferred audio driver but also supports native
drivers like ALSA, DirectSound or CoreAudio.


This is a response to RFP bug #798490.

I intend to package and maintain Carla under the umbrella of the Debian
Multimedia Team.

Carla right now is missing LinuxSampler as a depencency if we want to have
support for GIG and SFZ file formats.

Hi folks,

During this week's Mini-debconf in Cambridge I have worked a lot on ppp
and I believe that I have found a solution to the problem of managing
ppp's ABI compatibility, including detecting and triggering rebuilds of
packages that build plugins for pppd.

In short, my solution involves manipulating the debian revision of the
package version to include an ABI version field. A new dh_ppp helper
script can inject appropriate Depends or Breaks dependencies into
packages that use it.

I have just uploaded the new version to experimental for further testing
and feedback.

For some packages that provide plugins, the required change boils down
to just adding "--with ppp" to the existing "dh $@" invocation. For
packages like network-manager that would like to use Breaks rather than
Depends, you also need to override_dh_ppp and run "dh_ppp --breaks",
then ensure that "Breaks: ${misc:Breaks}" appears in the control file.

More information about my scheme and the helper tools is available from:

README.source for ppp:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/pkg-ppp.git/tree/debian/README.source?h=develop&id=dfac4f63a7cab9472da3cc5f17ed3c500a83712a

The commit that introduces this is:

I will shortly start preparing patches for the packages listed below
that build ppp plugins and submit them to the BTS.

I would very much appreciate any feedback or questions about the scheme.

Bug#804258: ITP: igb -- dkms source for the igb network driver

2015-11-06 Thread Clément Hermann
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: "Clément Hermann" 

* Package name: igb
  Version : 5.3.3.2
  Upstream Author : Intel Corporation
* URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/
* License : GPL-2
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : dkms source for the igb network driver

 igb is the Linux device driver released for Intel 82575/6, 82580, I350, and
 I210/211-based network interfaces. 
 .
 This driver uses the same base as the igb module included in the Linux kernel,
 with added features such as advanced multiqueue control (RSS), interrupts
 throttle management, Large Receive Offload (LRO) and Low Latency Interrupts
 (LLI).
 .
 Only use this driver if you need these specific features.
 .
 Installation of the igb-dkms package will disable the in-kernel igb module. To
 re-enable igb, the igb-dkms package must be purged.
 .
 This package provides the dkms source code for the igb kernel modules. Kernel
 source or headers are required to compile these modules.

I'm already uploader for openpgp-applet, but as it is sponsored by the perl pkg
team, I'll need a new sponsor for this one (little sense in asking perl
maintainer to sponsor a kernel driver).

I'd be happy to co-maintain this package if some people are interested. I
mainly use debian and preferably intel NIC for servers at work (and also did so
at my previous job), so I'm motivated for the long-term maintenance of this
package.

Also, once it's in the archive and has migrated to testing, I intend to
backport it at least for jessie (possibly wheezy as well).

Cheers !

(newbie) Disruptive LIRC package update.

2015-11-06 Thread Alec Leamas
Dear list,

I am in the process on creating a new lirc packaging. The core reason is
that current debian version is stalled at 0.9.0 as of 2011 whereas the
upstream version is 0.9.3, with 0.9.4 under way. My plan is to try to
package 0.9.4.

Besides the more practical issues here is a big configuration trouble.
Up to 0.9.0, lirc has been configured using a file hardware.conf. This
is a debianism which never has been upstreamed. This file just isn't
compatible with modern lirc which partly relies on the systemd setup,
partly on a file called lirc_options.conf.

So, an upgrade will not support hardware.conf. Which basically breaks
each and every installation. While we could (i. e., should) provide docs
and perhaps some tooling to ease the process, I think some kind of
manual intervention is unavoidable.

Now, I'm new to the Debian community. What is the policy w r t this kind
of upgrades? As hinted on debian-mentors, I'm seeking advice in this list.

Thanks in advance,

--alec

Document how to migrate in README.Debian file, and add a NEWS file with 
an entry to briefly mentioning the need for migration and pointing to 
the README file where the details are.

NB! the exact naming of the NEWS file is important, and the timestamp of 
the entry in that file must match the timestamp of your upcoming 
changelog entry (I'v gotten those details wrong myself numerous times): 
Test the final package works by installing apt-listchanges, and then 
when you install the new package it should show the NEWS entry _before_ 
the package is installed.

Bug#804301: ITP: bruteforce-luks -- Try to find the password of a LUKS encrypted volume

  Description : Try to find the password of a LUKS encrypted volume

 The program tries to decrypt at least one of the key slots by trying
 all the possible passwords. It is especially useful if you know
 something about the password (i.e. you forgot a part of your password but still
 remember most of it). Finding the password of a volume without knowing
 anything about it would take way too much time (unless the password is really
 short and/or weak).
