Bug#566593: ITA: purple-plugin-pack - 30 useful plugins for pidgin
Package: wnpp X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org The old maintainer of purple-plugin-pack, Benjamin Seidenberg, is apparently not active anymore. The currently packaged version is from November 2007 (uploaded in March 2008). In July 2009 I packaged a new version of purple-plugin-pack and sent him the changes I made. After an inital response I haven't heard from him. I'd like to adopt the package to keep it up-to-date with new upstream versions and to convert the package to modern dh 7 rules. An inital version of my packaging work is already in Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/purple-plugin-pack/2.6.2-0ubuntu1 Regards, Felix -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Archive area for clamz (Amazon MP3 downloader)
clamz [1] has been rejected from Debian NEW [2] some time ago. The FTP assistent that processed the package was of the opinion that it belongs to contrib instead of main because it's only useful to download non-free content. The purpose of clamz is to download MP3 files after buying them from Amazon. You can download MP3s with every browser though and Debian even has many MP3 decoders in main. I don't see why this is a problem. There is another package in main that is similar in this respect: youtube-dl. So what is the reason that clamz can't be in main? - Felix [1] http://code.google.com/p/clamz/ [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=545717#52 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

For example applications that display weather information, lyrics or album covers. Should they all be moved to contrib? A very similar software is already in Debian main: Amarok contains two plugins that are able to download/stream music from Magnatune and MP3tunes; both are music stores. Also I don't think Amazon has a policy to not allow dfsg-free albums. So I fail to see how clamz depends on/is only useful with non-free content. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

That's IMHO somewhat inconsistent. Anyway the Debian Policy should be much clearer on the distinction between main and contrib. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

There are a few problems with this: - The EFI images aren't currently built from source as well. However it should be possible to do so (see [1]). - I'm not sure how well VirtualBox is able to boot common operating system with EFI. I (and probably upstream) are already looking forward to heaps of "$OS doesn't boot" bug reports. - It would require even more patching of VirtualBox to default to EFI and display a proper error message when you try to boot a VM in BIOS mode and it's not available. - The VirtualBox maintainers (= me at the moment) don't even have time to properly maintain the VirtualBox package as it is. So someone else would have to join pkg-virtualbox and do the work.
