  Description : build vector tilesets from large collections of GeoJSON 
features

 Tippecanoe builds vector tilesets from large (or small) collections of
 GeoJSON, FlatGeobuf, or CSV features.
 .
 The goal of Tippecanoe is to enable making a scale-independent view of
 your data, so that at any level from the entire world to a single
 building, you can see the density and texture of the data rather than
 a simplification from dropping supposedly unimportant features or
 clustering or aggregating them.
 .
 If you give it all of OpenStreetMap and zoom out, it should give you back
 something that looks like "All Streets" rather than something that looks
 like an Interstate road atlas.
 .
 If you give it all the building footprints in Los Angeles and zoom out
 far enough that most individual buildings are no longer discernable,
 you should still be able to see the extent and variety of development
 in every neighborhood, not just the largest downtown buildings.
 .
 If you give it a collection of years of tweet locations, you should be
 able to see the shape and relative popularity of every point of interest
 and every significant travel corridor.

I intend to use Tippecanoe to generate vector map tiles for RiskProfiler.ca
(OpenDRR platform) as part of my work at/for Geological Survey of Canada,
Natural Resources Canada.

I plan to maintain this package within the Debian GIS Team.

Thanks!

The source-map-js package is a fork of source-map which includes some

source map format from

Bug#1061583: ITP: libapache2-mod-sts -- security token exchange module for Apache 2

* Package name: libapache2-mod-sts
  Version : 3.4.0
  Upstream Contact: Hans Zandbelt 
* URL : https://github.com/OpenIDC/mod_sts
* License : AGPL-3+
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : security token exchange module for Apache 2

A security token exchange module for Apache HTTP Server 2.x which allows for
exchanging arbitrary security tokens by calling into a remote Security Token
Service (STS).

This Apache module allows for exchanging a security token (aka. "source
token") that is presented on an incoming HTTP request for another security
token (aka. "target token") by calling into a Security Token Service (STS) and
then include that target token on the propagated HTTP request to the content
or origin server.


I use this program and I have not found another that can replace it.

I intend to maintain it myself but am open to co-maintainers, team maintenance
and low threshold NMUs.

Yeah, there are lots of other tools similar to cats, many of them are
linked from the doc/TODO file but there are more I need to add there
and probably many more that I don't know about.

One of the newer features added to cats in 2019 helps there, for some
commands it only enables the highest severity level, then if there is
no output it moves on to the next level, and so on. You can also
disable individual checks or groups of checks as desired. Probably
there are some other things we could add to improve the situation.

I probably won't update it until it is suitable for inclusion in a
stable release. This means at minimum being relatively safe to run in
an untrusted source tree, probably by using debvm to generate a VM
containing the relevant tools and running the tools in the VM.

Thanks, I will review them when I get time.
