I have a courier-imap 0.30.31pre1-1 deb ready. But I am not sanguine about putting in a new upstream release at this point in the freeze- opinions please.

Intent to package: theme-convertors
theme-convertors is a package written by myself that will convert themes[1] to .deb files. At the moment, this works on GTK themes and WindowMaker themes. The package includes a Perl library Debian::ThemeConvertors which holds common code to the two convertors, so adding convertors for other things should be easy. I've tested it with tarballs from wm.themes.org and gtk.themes.org. A considerable effort is made to get the layout of the resulting packages "looking right", particularly for GTK themes where everyone seems to have a different idea about how the tarball should be laid out... theme-convertors is architecture-independent. Copyright: GPL SRH [1] It's not really limited to themes, and I'm sure people could dream up other uses for it. -- Steve Haslam Debian GNU/Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] gnome-libs, gnome-core, gnome-control-center, gdm, p3nfs.what, me worry? pgpxLeAnCKmyu.pgp Description: PGP signature

Still works; the only difference between testfile and the result of running testfile-out through pgp2 is that pgp doesn't write a terminating newline...

Intent to package: device3dfx
Hi people, device3dfx is a kernel module to allow user-space applications (quake :}) access to 3Dfx cards without needing to be run as root. This package consists *only* of a GPL'd kernel module. As such it can IMHO go into main. It could be argued that you can only use it via the Glide libraries, which aren't free at all, and it should therefore go into contrib. This point may need discussion. Notes: /dev/3dfx -- needs to be created. If this package is accepted, support for it should go into MAKEDEV, as opposed to doing a mknod in the postinst (which lintian complains about). The packaging is based on pcmcia-cs, and I hope it will work with make-kpkg in the same way. I don't use make-kpkg, so I haven't *really* checked, but "debian/rules kdist" seems to do the right thing. device3dfx, the source package, comes with one binary package, device3dfx-source. This consists of docs and /usr/src/device3dfx.tar.gz, which then extracts to /usr/src/modules/device3dfx/..., which seems right. It can be used to generate device3dfx-modules-* packages.

Someone needs to decide what the permission on the device are too :} I'm currently using [root.audio, 0660]. i.e. the device can be used by anyone in the "audio" group. It's my understanding this group normally has no members, but people who log in via the console are put in it for a session. Hence I'm using it as a "sitting-in-front-of-the-PC" privilege. But, yes, this is *still* insecure. So I'll put a (big) warning in the description and the README.Debian.

Intent to package: gtk-doc
gtk-doc is a collection of tools in the GNOME CVS area- gtkdoc-mkdb, gtkdoc-mkhtml, gtkdoc-mkman etc., and one dsssl stylesheet. The gtk-doc tools appear to extract embedded documentation from GNOME source files and convert them to DocBook format (which reminds me a lot of javadoc). The mkman mkhtml etc. tools use jade and docbook-stylesheets to produce display formats. gtk-doc is architecture independent. copyright: GPL. Issues: gtk-doc is the upstream name, but a more distinct name may be preferred to distinguish it from gtk+-docs, libgtk1.2-doc, gnome-docu, gnome-dev-info... Perhaps "gtk-doc-tools" ? Maybe keep the source called gtk-doc and call the binary gtk-doc-tools... Suggestions welcome.
