Work-Needing and Prospective Packages for Debian GNU/Linux
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
$Id: prospective-packages.html,v 1.8 1998/03/31 16:29:54 johnie Exp $
This document is intended to identify areas that need your
contributions. It provides information that hopefully changes quite
often, so it supplements the regular Debian Developer documentation:
[1]http://www.debian.org/developers_corner.html. This document
provides the current list of packages which are either:
* orphaned,
* withdrawn from the unstable distribution,
* maintained but its developer would like to find a new person,
* currently being worked on to include in the distribution, and
* good ideas -- they would be nice to have, but no one is yet
working on them.
New versions of this document will be available via FTP and HTTP:
* [2]http://www.debian.org/doc/prospective-packages.html
* [3]ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package-developer/prospective-p
ackages.txt
* [4]ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/doc/package-developer/prospective-p
ackages.html
Please send additions, corrections, suggestions and wishes to the WNPP
maintainer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Please mention which version of this
document your comments refer.
Try to change the subject of your mail to reflect the packages you're
talking about, it makes it easier for to sort out all "Re:
Work-Needing and Prospective Packages" emails. A suggested subject
line reads "WNPP: removing foopackage" or "WNPP: working on
barpackage". Thanks.

Packages needing a new maintainer
Please inform the WNPP maintainer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) via e-mail when
you find that you'd like to discontinue maintaining a package. To
adopt a package, please inform both WNPP and the current maintainer of
the package.
The following packages are offered up for adoption:
By Mike Coleman ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
* nn -- Heavy-duty USENET news reader (curses-based client)
By Juan Cespedes ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
* xzx -- X11 based ZX Spectrum emulator

Making the lesstif packages isn't very difficult. The challenge
with this package is that LessTif is still not complete, and may
well again have bugs that are difficult to track (recently: memory
leaks and X hangs). The ideal maintainer would be somebody who is
familiar with debugging X stuff, and who is prepared to work
closely with the upstream developers.

Programs that aren't available yet in Debian
Programs listed in this section aren't yet available as Debian
packages, but there has been an expressed desire to include them. If
you want to create one of these packages, or any Debian package,
please send an e-mail with an "Intent to create ..." subject line to
the Debian development list ([email protected]).
If you are not already a developer, instructions on joining the Debian
Project are in the "Developers Corner" of the Debian website.
Programming and development
* The [20]Linux BLAS, FFTs, general utilities and libraries, and
library support for Extended Precision Arithmetic.
* ccmalloc -- memory profiler and malloc debugger
* ECoLisp -- a Common Lisp compiler that produces faster code but
isn't as widely used as GCL
* CLiCC -- Common Lisp compiler that generates stand-alone apps
(rather large ones, though)
* CLX -- Common Lisp Xlib implementation
* PCL -- Portable Common Loops for GCL
* Cross-compilation environments for alpha, m68k, SPARC
* [21]ACE -- (a free C++ library)
* [22]FPK pascal
* [23]GNU Nana -- improved support for assertions and logging in C
and C++.
* [24]qddb -- a relational database.
Graphics
* Kubota Graphics Corporation's now-PD 3-D visualization system,
Dore'.
* The [25]pnmhisteq add-on that came with an older versions of
netpbm.
* A pstogif package, (a binary is currently buried inside xemacs19,
xemacs20, latex2html, and sdc).
* A CAD package from the [26]Scientific Applications on Linux page.
X11
* The LGPL-ed GUI library [27]fltk which is supposed to be
compatible with (non-free) XForms toolkit. Use of XForms is the
sole reason that several useful packages like lyx are in contrib
rather than main.
* Andrew
* [28]mergemem
* grok -- database with many functions
* xidle
* [29]Express, the GTK web browser for GNOME.
Networking and Communication
* ftptool
* [30]Speakerphone/Answering Machine for USR and Rockwell Modems
* [31]SSL FTP and FTPD -- If possible, the SSL functionality for the
daemon should be ported to the one in netstd, as that may contain
security fixes not in SSL ftpd.
* [32]Telnet98, with 128-bit encryption (non-us).
* [33]pathchar, a device for measuring bandwidth of remote pipes.
* The [34]coda filesystem tools.
Text utilities
* HTML editors (tkHTML, auc-html.el)
* [35]Virtual Paper
Misc
* [36]sfio -- C library stdio replacement
* [37]Artificial Life Programs
* [38]Acmaint -- user administration tool
* [39]hpack -- non-us archiver
* [40]rar -- shareware archiver
* The operator shell ( [41]http://www.engarde.com/~mcn/osh.html).
* The transparent cryptographic filesystem
([42]http://tcfs.dia.unisa.it/).
* The CODA filesystem ([43]http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/).
* Secure remote password ([44]http://jafar.stanford.edu/srp/).
_________________________________________________________________
Programs that someone should write
This section contains suggestions/wishes for programs. There is no
known implementation of such a program for Linux.
* amspell (ms-dos) -like spell checker, i.e. a spell checker that
checks the complete text first, searching for alternatives (on the
fly) and asking for user action at the very end of the checking
process. This saves much time on low memory machines.
_________________________________________________________________
Packages that cant be packaged
* HotJava -- the license prohibits redistribution of any kind.
