ITP: javawrapper

I will be happy to sponsor javawrapper that I have used and installed
locally.

The challenge, as I see it, is to write an /etc/init.d/javawrapper script
that ensures that binfmt_misc is installed and registers/unregisters
javawrapper with the kernel.

Sincerely,
Kristoffer

[PROPOSAL] update-binfmts - manages the binfmt_misc kernel module

[Kristoffer . Rose]

Dear Colin,

I have some comments on your `update-binfmts' proposal.

1. I like it :)

2. It should be a separate package because we don't want any way that the
   standard dpkg package depends on a kernel option that may be compiled
   out of a custom kernel.

   It could be named binfmt-support and modeled after the mime-support
   package that it resembles a lot.

3. In fact your proposal suggests a more general useful extension:
   integration of the kernel options in the package system!

   One could imagine a (virtual?) package for each module in the kernel
   that would be seen as installed or uninstalled depending on whether a
   certain option is compiled into the kernel.  This way packages could
   depend on kernel modules being installed in a way that would interact
   well with recompilation of kernels and even permit effective selection
   of just the needed modules for a given installation.

   But then again this may be overloading the package system since there
   are quite a few kernel modules...

Best regards,
Kristoffer

Bug#759570: ITP: crsx-java -- Higher Order Rewriting Engine with Extensions for Compiler Generation

[Kristoffer Rose]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Kristoffer Rose 

* Package name: crsx-java
  Version : 3.1.0.1
  Upstream Author : Kristoffer Rose 
* URL : http://crsx.org/
* License : EPL-1.0
  Programming Lang: Java, C
  Description : Higher Order Rewriting Engine with Extensions for Compiler 
Generation

The purpose of CRSX is to implement an extended higher-order rewriting 
formalism to facilitate writing compilers
and other syntax-directed transformation systems, specifically:

* Special notations for using embedded syntax, even higher order abstract 
syntax.
* Special support for symbol tables, environments, and attributes, as used in 
compilers.
* A polymorphic sort system (which in practice means that CRSX systems are 
contraction schemes).
* CRSX systems can be compiled directly to native code (so far in C or Java 
(experimental)) for effective execution.

The system is used in IBM for production use and is the basis for the HACS 
compiler generator
used for teaching compilers at NYU by the author.

Re: Stepping back from the Debian XML/SGML team, effectively orphaning all my packages (docbook*, xml-core, xmlto, etc. pp)

[Kristoffer Rose]

Dear Daniel and Osamu,

I have XML expertise, I am a DD, and I maintain nothing for now (only have
a few ITPs out).

Any chance you would be at DebCamp and could do a two day intense "catchup"
on the involved work?

Best,
  Kris

Re: [Debconf-announce] DebConf15: Call for keys for keysigning in Heidelberg, Germany

[Kristoffer Rose]

Dear Aníbal,

For those of us attending DebCamp, do you know if it will be possible to
print the necessary lists there after August 10th?

Cheers,
  Kris
