Hi Dmitri

Getting started can be tough. I can recommend the mentors mailing list
where there are many experienced developers devoting time to help new
packagers get started:

Missing Maintainer?

Hi All,

Sorry to bother you all with a non-technical post. I have been trying
to help out a little with bugs on the Gramps package in Debian, and I
have noticed that James A Treacy (the Maintainer) has not been active
over the last year or so, and has not responded to a couple of recent
emails.

Before I go to the MIA Team, I am writing to see if anyone knows his
whereabouts - in case he is just very busy.

Bug#778417: ITP: netcdf-python -- python interface to the netCDF4 (network Common Data Form) library

2015-02-14 Thread Ross Gammon
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ross Gammon 

* Package name: netcdf-python
  Version : 1.1.3
  Upstream Author : University Corporation for Atmospheric Research/Unidata
* URL : http://unidata.github.io/netcdf4-python/
* License : ISC, Expat
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : python interface to the netCDF4 (network Common Data Form)
library

NetCDF version 4 has many features not found in earlier versions of the library
and is implemented on top of HDF5. This module can read and write files in both
the new netCDF 4 and the old netCDF 3 format, and can create files that are
readable by HDF5 clients. The API is modelled after Scientific.IO.NetCDF, and
should be familiar to users of that module.

Most new features of netCDF 4 are implemented, such as multiple unlimited
dimensions, groups and zlib data compression. All the new numeric data types
(such as 64 bit and unsigned integer types) are implemented. Compound and
variable length (vlen) data types are supported, but the enum and opaque data
types are not. Mixtures of compound and vlen data types (compound types
containing vlens, and vlens containing compound types) are not supported.

The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (Unidata) also provide C++
and Fortran interfaces to the NetCDF C library. This is their python interface.
There is already python-netcdf packaged for Debian as part of the Scientific
Python source. However, netcdf-python implements different parts of the
interface and is supported by the organisation that controls the NetCDF
library.

The package  will be maintained within the Debian GIS Team (as well as the
NetCDF C, C++, and Fortran libraries).

That is not an easy question to answer (at least with my limited
knowledge). The Unidata website
(http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/software.html#Python) lists
8 different python interfaces to NetCDF. Some are faster, and some offer
writing in reading & writing in other data formats as well as NetCDF.

The netcdf4-python package is the only one described as having
implemented most of the newest features of NetCDF-4. It was actually
modelled on the Scientific.IO.NetCDF module API.

The information about the ScientificPython source package which bundles
python-netcdf (along with many other modules useful for scientific
work), does not contain much easy to digest information about the
implemented interface. I did see in the changelog however, that it is at
least aware of NetCDF-4 data.

Basically, our intention was to package all of the netcdf-* packages
under the Unidata banner on github (https://github.com/Unidata).

Ross

Thanks very much to Nick and Konrad for your help here. I think there is
enough extra functionality in netcdf4-python (and I probably should
change the package name to include the 4) to warrant the effort involved
in maintaining netcdf4-python in Debian.

Checking the reverse dependencies of python-netcdf in Debian, I can see
that there are three other packages depending on it: python-tables,
python-mmtk and python-dolfin (all in the Debian Science Team). So it
would not make sense to remove python-netcdf at this point in time. But
as long as there are no namespace clashes, I see no reason to not have
both in the archive.

 GooCanvas is a canvas widget for GTK+ that uses the cairo 2D library for

 views, so you can easily turn any application object into canvas items.

GooCanvas 2.0.2 has been uploaded to experimental already, but there are many
reverse dependencies that prevent a transition in unstable.

Therefore, the goocanvas source package is being renamed to goocanvas-2.0
because it can actually be installed simultaneously with version 0.15 in
unstable. This is in line with what has already been done in Ubuntu. The
version in experimental will eventually be removed.

Goocanvas is a good fit for the Debian Gnome Team, but if that doesn't work out
I will maintain it in collab-maint.

Bug#796698: ITP: esmf -- Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF)

2015-08-23 Thread Ross Gammon
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ross Gammon 

* Package name: esmf
  Version : 6.3.0rp1
  Upstream Author : NESII (NOAA Environmental Software Infrastructure and
Interoperability) <http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/nesii>
* URL : https://earthsystemcog.org/projects/esmf/
* License : Expat
  Programming Lang: Fortran, C++, Python
  Description : Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF)

The Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) collaboration is high-performance,
flexible software infrastructure for building and coupling weather, climate,
and related Earth science applications. The ESMF defines an architecture for
composing complex, coupled modeling systems and includes data structures and
utilities for developing individual models.
.
The basic idea behind ESMF is that complicated applications should be broken up
into coherent pieces, or components, with standard calling interfaces. In ESMF,
a component may be a physical domain, or a function such as a coupler or I/O
system. ESMF also includes toolkits for building components and applications,
such as regridding software, calendar management, logging and error handling,
and parallel communications.

The latest NetCDF release which the Debian GIS Team has switched to, no longer
includes the libcf library to manage Climate and Forecast standards compliant
data files.

The Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) provides this functionality and
more, so the Debian GIS Team would like to see it packaged for Debian. The
Debian Science Team (Meteorology) may also be interested in the package.

As for ESMF, ESMP will be maintained within the Debian Science Team (or Debian
GIS).

Although upstream call the package ESMP, this is also the acronym for the
Embedded Systems Modeling Platform from Eclipse, so this package will be named
ESMF-ESMP to avoid confusion.

Yes, by all means if you're using it a lot. But a separate library

Look at it like this: the language is so hard to get things

Sorry - I've been ill. Actually, it is depended on by approx 120
