Bug#924270: O: keepassx -- Cross Platform Password Manager
Package: wnpp Severity: normal Keepassx is a graphical password manager, using the Qt4 toolkit. I'm no longer using this package and have personally switched to 'password-store'. Unfortunately, I've also failed to get a response from upstream from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=920616 - which recommends to replace keepassx with keepassxc, a community fork, possibly because of unresponsive upstream. I am undecided whether or not this package should be included in Debian 10 (aka buster). It clearly is useful to many people, but its long-term maintenance is unclear. I'd encourage people interested in picking up this package to coordinate with Julian Klode (CC'ed), the Debian keepassxc maintainer. Best, -rt

Bug#924274: ITP: golang-github-gokyle-fswatch -- go library for simple UNIX file system watching
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Jongmin Kim X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org, debian...@lists.debian.org * Package name: golang-github-gokyle-fswatch Version : 0.0~git20121217.1dbdf83-1 Upstream Author : 2012 Kyle Isom * URL : https://github.com/gokyle/fswatch * License : ISC Programming Lang: Go Description : go library for simple UNIX file system watching This package provides a simple UNIX file system watching in Go. . It is based around the Watcher struct, which should be initialised with either NewWatcher or NewAutoWatcher. Both functions accept a variable number of string arguments specfying the paths to be loaded, which may be globbed, and return a pointer to a Watcher. This value can be started and stopped with the Start() and Stop() methods. The Watcher will automatically stop if all the files it is watching have been deleted. This package is a prerequisite for upcoming package "lazygit" (#908894). -- Jongmin Kim OpenPGP key located at https://jongmin.dev/pgp OpenPGP fingerprint: 012E 4A06 79E1 4EFC DAAE 9472 D39D 8D29 BAF3 6DF8 signature.asc Description: PGP signature

As I am currently involved in evaluating password managers, also a +1 from me for dropping keepassx. -nik signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Bug#924277: ITP: puppet-module-deric-zookeeper -- Puppet module for Zookeeper
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Thomas Goirand * Package name: puppet-module-deric-zookeeper Version : 0.8.4 Upstream Author : Tomas Barton * URL : https://github.com/deric/puppet-zookeeper * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: Puppet Description : Puppet module for Zookeeper Puppet lets you centrally manage every important aspect of your system using a cross-platform specification language that manages all the separate elements normally aggregated in different files, like users, cron jobs, and hosts, along with obviously discrete elements like packages, services, and files. . This module manages both the installation and configuration of Zookeeper. Note: This module is needed for setting-up Ceilometer coordination using Zookeeper. Tests are showing that redis doesn't work in cluster for Ceilometer.

If for some reason a direct transition with symlinks and all is not possible, then at least a mention in the release notes (perhaps with instructions on how to manually migrate before and/or after upgrade).

Bug#924285: ITP: vagrant-librarian-puppet -- A Vagrant plugin to install Puppet modules using Librarian-Puppet
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Gabriel Filion * Package name: vagrant-librarian-puppet Version : 0.9.2 Upstream Author : Vox Pupuli * URL : https://github.com/voxpupuli/vagrant-librarian-puppet * License : MIT Programming Lang: Ruby Description : A Vagrant plugin to install Puppet modules using Librarian-Puppet vagrant-librarian-puppet is a plugin for Vagrant that will automatically run librarian-puppet before any provisioning step. It looks for a Puppetfile in the configured directory and uses that file with librarian-puppet. More details: - This plugin automates management of module dependencies when testing puppet modules, or simply when maintaining your local test VM for day-to-day puppet development. I removes the need to remember to install new modules with librarian-puppet after having pulled in other people's changes on the Puppetfile. - It is not a dependency for another package - I so far use it for testing individual puppet modules that I maintain, and to make it easier to test changes before committing. I also intend to use it at work to reduce friction around keeping modules up to date in the local dev VMs. - I don't know of another package that provides such functionality. It's also the only vagrant plugin that I know can help automate this. - Since I'm not a DD or a DM, I am planning on asking a friend who is a Debian Developer to help me out with shaping the package so that it's acceptable for debian. I would then intend to ask the ruby packaging team if they are willing to make this one of the team packages and I would continue maintaining it through the team.

I checked the upstream. In surprise, I found the master version has switched to Qt-5. And the upstream author is Felix Geyer, who is DD as well. Felix, could you have some inputs here? In person, I hope keepassx is in buster. I can help uploading the master version(with Qt-5) if Qt-4 is really needed to be removed from buster. However I'm unsure if RT is fine with this big change(I assume it's not ok). -- Shengjing Zhu
