Bug#862269: RFP: ntfs-3g-system-compression -- NTFS-3G plugin for reading "system compressed" files
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name: ntfs-3g-system-compression
Version : [no release yet]
Upstream Author : Eric Biggers
* URL or Web page : https://github.com/ebiggers/ntfs-3g-system-compression
* License : GPL-2+
Programming lang: C
Description : NTFS-3G plugin for reading "system compressed" files
System compression, also known as "Compact OS", is a Windows feature
that allows rarely modified files to be compressed using the XPRESS or
LZX compression formats. It is not built directly into NTFS but rather
is implemented using reparse points. This feature appeared in Windows 10
and it appears that many Windows 10 systems have been using it by
default.
This package contains a plugin which enables the NTFS-3G FUSE driver
to transparently read from system-compressed files.
Currently, only reading is supported. Compressing an existing file may
be done by using the "compact" utility on Windows, with one of the
options below ("xpress4k" is the weakest and fastest, "lzx" is the
strongest and slowest):
* /exe:xpress4k
* /exe:xpress8k
* /exe:xpress16k
* /exe:lzx
[End of potential long package description]
Some notes and thoughts:
Citing from the upstream web page:
> It must be built against NTFS-3G version 2017.3.23 or later, since
> that was the first stable version to include support for reparse point
> plugins.
Probably due to the freeze, that NTFS-3G version is not yet available in
Debian, but likely will become available after Stretch is released.
> The XPRESS and LZX compression formats used in system-compressed files
> are identical to the formats used in Windows Imaging (WIM)
> archives. Therefore, for the system compression plugin I borrowed the
> XPRESS and LZX decompressors I had already written for the wimlib
> project (https://wimlib.net/).
wimlib is already packaged for Debian by Hilko Bengen (X-Debbugs-CC'ed).
> I made some slight modifications for integration purposes.
*sigh* So there might be a chance that the library packaged by Hilko
might not be usable as (build-) dependency. Needs to be checked in
detail.
> The code in wimlib is currently licensed LGPLv3+, but I have

But at least upstream cares about license compatibility. That's good.

Bug#862311: ITP: hfi1-firmware -- non-free firmware for Intel Omni-Path hfi1 fabric interface
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: "Brian T. Smith" * Package name: hfi1-firmware Version : 0.9-46 Upstream Author : 01org * URL : https://github.com/01org/opa-firmware * License : Proprietary, non-free Programming Lang: none, binary Description : non-free firmware for Intel Omni-Path hfi1 fabric interface Debian stretch, kernel 4.9.0-2-amd64 includes the hfi1 module that provides kernel-space ibverbs access to Omni-Path hardware for network communications. However, the hfi1 module requires non-free firmware in order for the module to properly initialize. This package will provide the required firmware for hfi1 hardware. The upstream URL contains many firmware images. The only binaries that will be installed by this package are: * hfi1_dc8051.fw * hfi1_fabric.fw * hfi1_pcie.fw * hfi1_platform.dat * hfi1_sbus.fw I have been maintaining the Intel Fabric Suite for Omni-Path on Debian for the past year as an employee of System Fabric Works (SFW). SFW has adequate hardware and resources to test and maintain this package.
Bug#862313: ITP: libpsm2 -- PSM2 runtime, dev and compatibility libraries for Intel Omni-Path
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: "Brian T. Smith" * Package name: libpsm2 Version : 4.0 Upstream Author : 01org * URL : https://github.com/01org * License : GPL, BSD Programming Lang: C Description : PSM2 runtime, dev and compatibility libraries for Intel Omni-Path libpsm2 provides the Performance Scaled Messaging API for user-space applications that wish to perform high-bandwidth, low-latency RDMA communications (e.g. openmpi, mvapich2). The predecessor of PSM2 is the PSM API provided by libpsm-infinipath1. Intel Omni-Path hardware and the supporting hfi1 kernel module require use of PSM2. libpsm2 will be able to coexist on a system that has libpsm-infinipath1 installed. It is not a replacement for libpsm-infinipath1. A host that has PSM and PSM2 capable hardware should be able to use either API, depending upon the fabric interface needed for communications. This proposal involves multiple packages: * libpsm2 - runtime libraries for PSM2 * libpsm2-dev - development headers and linker libraries for PSM2 * libpsm2-compat - compatibility library for PSM applications The purpose of libpsm2-compat is to allow a PSM application to use hardware that requires PSM2 (e.g. Intel Omni-Path). An example of such an application is openmpi 1.6.5. By prepending the compatibility library's installation directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, a PSM application is able to transparently use the PSM2 API without requiring a code port or recompilation. I have been maintaining the Intel Fabric Suite for Omni-Path on Debian for the past year as an employee of System Fabric Works (SFW). SFW has adequate hardware and resources to test and maintain this package.
