Dear Magnus,

Thanks so much for these tips.  I have closed both libcsoap1-dev and
libcsoap1 and opened up a new ITP based on your suggestion called
libcsoap.  Also, I have changed the version number to 1.0.4.  Thanks
again for your useful comments.  Cheers

Dear Martin,

Thanks for pointing this problem out to me.  I am new at packaging and
made several similar errors in other packages as well at first.  I have
followed your advice and closed down all the old packages and opened
a new one called libsvm.  I have also renamed libsvm0-dev to libsvm-dev.
Thanks for the info!  Cheers,

Hi Timothy again,

how's your work proceeded, meanwhile?
Thanks again for your valuable comments, I think it is really important 
to tell pupils, it is not "Linux" to blame when, say, KDE's kicker 
crashes. [No, don't start defending - I am talking bout KDE 2.x :) ]

BTW: Connected to this thread, there was some "Linux New Media Award" 
for a debian based Linux distro called "Skolelinux" that specializes to 
schools' needs AFAIK. 

Educational Debian packages named preinstalled are gcompris, kmplot, 
tuxtype, kgeo, ... 

So, apparantly, there are already many developers thinking of the 
generation to follow - which is just great :)

Dear Joseph,

happy new year to you all. In this matter, I'd like to stress the 
importance to gain the youth, i.e. pupils, for free software, i.e. 
GNU/Linux. I plea to support all Edu-Projects (KDE-Edu, Debian-Edu 
etc.), therefore. Spread kid-friendly live CDs to your environment (I 
can recommend http://www.skolelinux.no/~conrad/snofrix.html), ask your 
local school to use free software, develop artwork and software for 
pupils and kids. 

That's my 2 pence for now.

Bug Squashing Party: Priority queue?

2006-08-11 Thread Rudi Effe
Dear dd's, 

I just found an invitation for a debian-edu bug squashing party at 
central Germany [1]. As this is quite a distance from where I live, I 
probably won't make it myself - but will try to join the team via IRC 
(#debian-edu). Now I wonder, if there is more folks around who might be 
joining, and (most important), if we have a list of topmost relevant 
bugs to fix?

These are the ressources I'd go for in the first place:

http://bugs.debian.org
http://bugs.skolelinux.no
http://wiki.debian.org

Thanks
Rudi

Re: Reforming the NM process

2006-04-11 Thread Rudi Cilibrasi
Dear Marc and fellow Debian friends,

Thanks for this cogent and clear summary of the problem as you see it.
 It reminds me a bit of the problem of scientific peer-review; for-pay
journals often ask people to donate their limitted time reviewing
other people's work.  Although the journal profits, the reviewer does
not directly benefit from reviewing, usually.  This has always struck
me as backwards-incentives.  In my opinion, the for-profit journals
should compensate skilled and rare scientists for their time when
reviewing papers.  Everybody knows reviewing other people's papers for
the first time is the most boring work.  And nobody has enough time
yet it's a bottleneck in the whole process.  So why not pay for it? 
So long as the reviewer is respected enough to make a good judgment,
it shouldn't be impossible to coordinate some direct compensation to
ease the pain if the task is commonly-agreed to be painful.  People
pay a fee to take most certifying exams for example.

I wonder if the same could be applied to Debian?  (note I am not a
NM/DD yet) I think Debian has really taken off as a new nexus for open
source and would expect if it were possible to make a money
contribution to speed up the NM queue many would be up for it.  After
all, many of us have been using Debian for years and we all depend
heavily on bug-free and recent software.  I think Debian has served as
one of the great successes in open-source quality assurance process
(along with the Linux and BSD kernels) but there is clearly a problem
of too much boring work leading to bottlenecks repeatedly.  What if we
make an AM salary-pool (open for donations all the time) and pay out
once a month say 10% of the total pool in proportion to the number of
people "checked"?  Then more donations mean bigger incentives for any
of the qualified AM's to grab some cash.  Maybe there can be a very
small number (1-3) of AM-managers that ensure AM checking quality
doesn't go downhill or become corrupted as a result and ensures proper
credits are given that lead to proportional compensation for those
willing to put in the extra hours for AM checking in a major way?  We
certainly wouldn't want to get a new crop of for-money-only AM's, but
this doesn't mean (to me) that we shouldn't consider helping our very
rare, necessary and current skillful AM's devote more time to the
cause without so much personal sacrifice.  We would all benefit from
getting the rare good developers sooner into the project I think.

I remember a similar system has been used quite successfully for a
long time in the RSA factoring challenge [1] to encourage integer
factoring research; I myself was one of many people who tried (and
failed!) to get a piece of the pie even though it was a relatively
small amount of money being offered each quarter.  It was simply
divided according to a point-based system that made new longer-number
breakthroughs worth more.  Even though I never got paid I thought it
was a fun and effective way of pushing my interest in a possibly dry
field.  Here is one of the unexpected humor breakthroughs that RSA
encouraged.[2]
I wonder what kind of knock-on effects we could expect if Debian had a
similar system going.

Best regards,

Rudi

patterns.  The compression-based approach used is powerful because it can mine
patterns in completely different domains. It can classify musical styles
of pieces of music and identify unknown composers. It can identify the
language of bodies of text. It can discover the relationships between
species of life and even the origin of new unknown viruses such as SARS.
Other uncharted areas are up to you to explore.

complearn-gui provides an easy-to-use GUI interface to try experimenting
with the CompLearn tree building system.  To use, simply run clfun and
drag and drop 4-20 files into the main window.  Then wait to see an
optimal tree built right before your eyes in a 3D virtual world.  As new
better trees are found, the tree will morph to reflect the new
organization.  You can drop text samples, genetic samples, or whatever
other (uncompressed) data you like to see hierarchical clustering in
action.

  Description : parallel quartet tree search system for clusters / 
supercomputers using MPI

Trying to find optimal binary trees matching a given distance matrix is
an NP-hard problem in general.  For more than 100 objects this usually
makes it infeasible to solve exactly.  In practice it can be
approximated but a quartet tree search system can require a lot of CPU
time even using sophisticated heuristics because tree scoring is slow.
This package provides a quiescent parallel manager-worker quartet tree
search system with some amount of fault tolerance using MPI.

Sometimes, O(log n)  performance is just not fast enough for very large

ideal choice is implemented in this library and tuned for high speed
throughput of at least a millions operations per second at all queue
sizes from one up to four billion entries.  Using a sophisticated
overlapping key tree representation, O(log(log n)) performance is
achieved in this priority queue implementation.  In practice, this means
it uses less time and memory than typical range finding data structures
like binary trees or B-Trees.

Dear Charles,

Thanks for this alert.  I have reviewed the website and software a
bit.  It looks like perhaps one day it could become another
alternative Debian package to my own which would be nice.  I think the
logical name for the other library, the "Nexus Class Library", would
be libncl.  This would handily avoid conflict with libnexus.  Thanks
again for your input,

I do not know what impact it can have on your packaging work, but there
is another library which calls itself NEXUS (in fact, Nexus Class
Library).

Currently, it is not packaged but it is used by at least one package,

unrooted binary tree that best represents the structural relationships
between the objects as specified in the input matrix.  This package is
useful with (and was once part of) the complearn package and is
compatible with the text, CompLearn Binary, and Nexus file formats.  It
outputs graphviz compatible .dot and Nexus format trees.  This system
has been used for phylogenetic analysis of genetic sequences to
reconstruct probable evolutionary histories, language analysis, and many
other areas.

Annoying GTK2 file dialogue - where to file the BUG?

2008-08-09 Thread Rudi Effe
Dear list,

for some reason, Debian favors Gnome to be the default desktop.
My reason for using KDE is mainly Gnomes file browser. But as a 
matter of fact, major applications are using the GTK2 libraries
(Mozilla, Openoffice.org, Gimp, Audacity etc.) - and Opneoffice.org is 
the only one that allows to use the KDE file selector.

Now, what's wrong with the GTK2 file chooser? I will report a bug if 
anybody could name the package/library I have to refer to.

Look at this screen shot for instance:

http://imagebin.ca/view/wxHN3lH.html

(1) all entries are displayed twice
(2) there is no option to sort by size or to even display size.
maybe this must be enabled by the calling app (audacity here)
- but if this option is not diallowed explicitly, it should be
possible to add it by the browsing user.

(3) whenever I tell Mozilla to open a dialogue with a specific app,
I can (to be quick) enter its path right in the file name box
(say: /usr/bin/ark). Next time however, the file selector will
start browsing that directory (/usr/bin) and produce a hang
lasting at least 4-5 seconds. Suspecting
- missing caching
- slow algorithms
- bad threading

(4) missing eyecandiness: grey and simple icons, no rounded corners,
dominating dark grey, low percentage of area used for content/
information (too much frame).

Sorry, don't get me wrong - I just wanted to share my personal 
impression of this fun stopper - it's like a hair in a five star soup!

Regards
Rudi

Dear Sam,

thank you for your patient and thorough reply.
I added my points to some existing bug reports - I hope 
they won't get me wrong.

Well, with KDE, I get a /!\ Warning:
"Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not 
take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME 
(e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with 
the GNOME settings manager."

Maybe I need to install Gnome Desktop and run this tool from there?
But maybe there is a global option to replace the gtk+ FileChooser by 
any other fileselectbox (as known from Atari GEMDOS)...

@Michael: You are possibly right - but:
- Developers tend to know better what component is responsible
- Next to bugzilla, a developer list might be a working option
  to reach the GTK+ coders themselves.

Sorry

  Description : flip an adjustable coin for random exit status

This command-line utility can be used to simulate a coin flip to get
a random exit status.  The probability of success is adjustable using
an optional command line parameter.

The package includes a single binary executable and man page and is
easily buildable using autoconf and automake.

Although I was a Debian Developer ten years ago, I have not had time to
do much since having kids. I am hoping somebody else can take this
package and sign and upload it. I do not expect to make many revisions
because the source code and functionality are quite simple so the
maintenance burden should be almost zero in the future. I would
appreciate an adoption, co-maintainer, or sponsor as appropriate.

For your convenience, an initial lintian-clean Debian source package is
publicly available at:

https://github.com/rudi-cilibrasi/pkg-flipcoin

This package is a useful core utility for shell scripts that need to
do things in a way that is decorrelated in time and infrequent. Usage is
simple at the shell prompt:

if flipcoin ; then echo heads ; else echo tails ; fi
