Bug#858093: ITP: genealogy-data.us.1990 -- genealogy data from US Census 1990
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Ben Finney * Package name: genealogy-data.us.1990 Version : 1995.10 Upstream Author : US Census Bureau * URL : http://www2.census.gov/topics/genealogy/1990surnames/ * License : public-domain Programming Lang: none Description : genealogy data from US Census 1990 The United States Census Bureau receives numerous demands for summary data on the frequency of surnames for genealogical reasons. Similar interest has arisen for the frequency of first names by sex. This data set attempts to satisfy these demands while still providing utmost confidentiality of individual results. This package provides source needed to build some password-strength checking software. It is general enough that it can be useful for many other purposes also. -- \“The problem with television is that the people must sit and | `\keep their eyes glued on a screen: the average American family | _o__) hasn't time for it.” —_The New York Times_, 1939 | Ben Finney signature.asc Description: PGP signature

This is the same as #791342. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=791342 Does changing if [ "$SHLVL" = 1 ] in ~/.bash_logout to if [ "$SHLVL" = 2 ] alter the behaviour? Cheers, Brian.
Bug#858136: ITP: bitlbee-facebook -- Facebook chat protocol plugin for BitlBee

Despite this, I consider Facebook's protocol to be stable enough to include bitlbee-facebook in buster. -- Sean Whitton signature.asc Description: PGP signature

As far as I can see, this package ships no binaries, but still beware that there is a /usr/bin/dsync binary shipped by dovecot-core. Also, following the golang packaging guidelines, you should probably call the package golang-github-minio-dsync-dev instead of plain dsync. Regards, Apollon
Bug#858160: ITP: wikiextractor -- tool to extract plain text from a Wikipedia dump
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Ben Finney * Package name: wikiextractor Version : 2.75 Upstream Author : Giuseppe Attardi * URL : http://medialab.di.unipi.it/wiki/Wikipedia_Extractor * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: Python Description : tool to extract plain text from a Wikipedia dump The Wikipedia maintainers provide, each month, an XML dump of all documents in the database: a single XML file containing the whole encyclopedia, that can be used for various kinds of analysis, such as statistics, service lists, etc. This Wikipedia extractor tool generates plain text from a Wikipedia database dump. It discards any other information or annotation present in Wikipedia pages, such as images, tables, references and lists. Some works use Wikipedia data as part of their complete source. This package will be useful for build chains that require processing that data as source. -- \ “I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back | `\ in time.” —Steven Wright | _o__) | Ben Finney signature.asc Description: PGP signature
