Bug#1085180: ITP: mcds -- Mutt CardDav search program
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Andrew Bower X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: mcds Version : 1.6 Upstream Contact: Timothy Brown * URL : https://github.com/t-brown/mcds * License : GPL-3.0 Programming Lang: C Description : Mutt CardDav search program mcds is a command line tool primarily used as a search query plugin for mutt to query a CardDav server. This utility would supply Debian with the missing functionality of live contact search for the mutt MUA against CardDav servers such as Nextcloud and ownCloud. It is also handy for quick contact searches from the command line. The most obvious candidate alternative is vdirsyncer but this adopts a different model, syncing a local contact store with a remote one, which does not suit all users. Packages for mcds-1.6 are currently available in the openSUSE and OpenBSD distributions. I use mcds and am prepared to maintain it but would need a sponsor. Proposed gbp-style repository: https://salsa.debian.org/abower/mcds Thank you!
Bug#1092288: ITP: xchpst -- eXtended CHange Process STate
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Andrew Bower X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: xchpst Version : 0.2.0 Upstream Contact: Andrew Bower * URL : https://gitlab.com/abower/xchpst/ * License : Expat Programming Lang: C Description : eXtended CHange Process STate xchpst is an extended rewrite of runit's chpst that adds control of Linux namespaces and capabilities. This tool can be used to launch system services from runscripts with hardening options including isolated and transient parts of the filesystem hierarchy and a read-only system. . xchpst is backwards compatible with chpst and a scheme is proposed for runscripts to be able to benefit from xchpst hardening options when xchpst is installed and transparently fall back to chpst-compatible options enacted by chpst when it is not. I intend to maintain this package in the debian namespace on salsa once sponsored; meanwhile, I am preparing the package at <https://salsa.debian.org/abower/xchpst>. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

It looks like this would be satisfied by a richer range of accepted time specifications by wtmpdb. Do you want to raise a bug? Worth adding if there is anything else defective (it looks to me that crashed sessions get included, which seems unhelpful). Andrew signature.asc Description: PGP signature
