Hi Marco Bardelli,

Are you still packaging dj-database-url for
Debian ?

I put dj-database-url on Debian some days ago as 
a NEW package and today, I was doing the repository for
it. But the repository already exists. And your name is the 
last one that did a 'git push'. You can check here[0]:

https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/dj-database-url.git/

How is the situation nowadays? The package I did was
accepted[1], but maybe it already exists on Debian.

Can I use the repository ?

Herbert

Bug#865564: ITP: wslay -- WebSocket library written in C

[Anton Gladky]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Anton Gladky 

* Package name: wslay
  Version : 1.0.1~39-g6abacc1
  Upstream Author : Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa
* URL : https://github.com/tatsuhiro-t/wslay
* License : Expat
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : WebSocket library written in C

 WebSocket library written in C. It implements the protocol version 13
 described in RFC 6455. This library offers 2 levels of API: event-based
 API and frame-based low-level API. For event-based API, it is suitable
 for non-blocking reactor pattern style. You can set callbacks in various
 events. For frame-based API, you can send WebSocket frame directly.
 Wslay only supports data transfer part of WebSocket protocol and does not
 perform opening handshake in HTTP.
 .
 Wslay supports:
 .
  - Text/Binary messages.
  - Automatic ping reply.
  - Callback interface.
  - External event loop.
  - Wslay does not perform any I/O operations for its own. Instead, it
offers callbacks for them. This makes Wslay independent on any I/O
frameworks, SSL, sockets, etc. This makes Wslay portable across various
platforms and the application authors can choose freely I/O frameworks.

The package will be hosted on collab-maint.

New Stack article on general vs. rolling releases

[Bruce Byfield]

Hi:

I am preparing an article on the pros and cons of general releases for 
The New Stack, both for users and for developers.

Anyone have any thoughts? I may use any comments unless the sender 
specifically asks me not to.

Thanks for any thoughts,
