If 9.2 works, 9.8 will probably work. The only difficulties you may have
are with devices needing firmware : usually WiFi and (sometimes)
specific video drivers.

This sort of request would be better on debian-user, perhaps.

Re: ITP: fossology -- FOSSology is an open source license compliance software system and toolkit.

2019-03-16 Thread Gaurav Mishra
Hello,

Thank you Chris, I will keep that in mind.

Thanks Moritz to inform that. The FOSSology version last maintained on
Debian was 1.2.0 which was released in 2012. The current version is 3.4.0.

Thanks Guillem. I went through the bugs reported and most of them are
solved now. And FOSSology was removed due to being obsolete in bug 656591.
But we are maintaining FOSSology from 2014 so it active from at least 5
years again and I would like to adopt FOSSology.

Since I am not a Debian developer, I need your help to package and publish
FOSSology as a Debian package.

You help will be much appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
Gaurav Mishra

That would be https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=644575

As I mentioned in that thread, the release-tools repository also
contains a similar "removed?" script.

Bug#924749: ITP: hd-idle -- Spin down idle [USB] hard disks

2019-03-16 Thread Alex Mestiashvili
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Alex Mestiashvili 

* Package name: hd-idle
  Version : 1.05
  Upstream Author : Christian Mueller 
* URL : http://hd-idle.sourceforge.net/
* License : GPLv2
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Spin down idle [USB] hard disks

hd-idle is a utility program for spinning-down external disks after a period
of idle time. Since most external IDE disk enclosures don't support setting
the IDE idle timer, a program like hd-idle is required to spin down idle disks
automatically.
.
A word of caution: hard disks don't like spinning up too often. Laptop disks
are more robust in this respect than desktop disks but if you set your disks
to spin down after a few seconds you may damage the disk over time due to the
stress the spin-up causes on the spindle motor and bearings. It seems that
manufacturers recommend a minimum idle time of 3-5 minutes, the default in
hd-idle is 10 minutes.
.
One more word of caution: hd-idle will spin down any disk accessible via the
SCSI layer (USB, IEEE1394, ...) but it will not work with real SCSI disks
because they don't spin up automatically. Thus it's not called scsi-idle and
I don't recommend using it on a real SCSI system unless you have a kernel
patch that automatically starts the SCSI disks after receiving a sense buffer
indicating the disk has been stopped. Without such a patch, real SCSI disks
won't start again and you can as well pull the plug.


Some drives, do not support spin down via hdparm, but can be spun down
using hd-idle.
The package will be maintained under collab-maint on salsa.
