-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear mentors, this is a re-post as I did accidentally file my last request as follow-up. If you did already notice it quite a few days ago please ignore this mail.
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "trafficserver". As first step I am happy on anyone who is reviewing my package and suggesting improvements though. Feel free to suggest improvements and note things I should improve. * Package name : trafficserver Version : 2.1.5-unstable-1 (to avoid confusion: "unstable" is upstream's branch name, not related to Debian's unstable branch) Upstream Author : The Apache Software Foundation * URL : http://trafficserver.apache.org/ * License : Apache-2 (mostly, see copyright) Section : web It builds these binary packages: trafficserver - a fast, scalable and extensible HTTP/1.1 compliant caching proxy trafficserver-plugin-conf-remap - Apache Traffic Server conf_remap plugin No-Arch packages: trafficserver-dev - Apache Traffic Server Software Developers Kit (SDK) My motivation for maintaining this package is: I'd like to use this section to introduce you Apache Traffic Server (ATS) first. The Apache Traffic Server was formerly a commercial product developed by Inktomi, later acquisted by Yahoo! and now being developed by the Apache Software Foundation as top level project, as Yahoo! donated it to the ASF. If you are interested to read more about TS @ Yahoo! and its history, consider reading [1]. As the synopsis line already suggests, TS is known to be fast and scaling for large setups (e.g. Yahoo! carries 400TB per day with it). It supports clustering, ICP (used to be) and much more. Moreover it is extensible and can be used for both, as forward proxy and as reverse proxy. I am neither affiliated with Yahoo!, nor the Apache Software Foundation, yet I intend to package Traffic Server for Debian, as I plan to use it within a content delivery setup of mine as well. As lazy person I do not want to compile and deploy it from source on my server. Since I have to package it anyway therefore I think TS could be used by others as well, therefore I propose it to Debian. Issues I am aware of (or blame others ;) ): As explained, the ASF took over development roughly a year ago. Therefore Traffic Server is undergoing a major code refactoring right now, causing some issues (e.g. configuration directives not used anymore, some discrepancies between documentation on the home page and code, ...). By the way: If you are interested, feel free to contribute to TS upstream. They are seeking people and are very responsive (they gave me a lot of feedback for the source code problems I encountered and fixed or shipped my patches in their SVN trunk within few days). The package is not lintian clean. This is due to the lack of man pages. Those are not available (for now), yet upstream is aware of this issue. Documentation related bugs are postponed for now though on upstream's development cycle. Lintian gives: W: trafficserver: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/traffic_cop W: trafficserver: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/traffic_line W: trafficserver: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/traffic_logcat W: trafficserver: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/traffic_logstats W: trafficserver: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/traffic_manager W: trafficserver: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/traffic_sac W: trafficserver: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/traffic_server W: trafficserver: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/traffic_shell W: trafficserver-dev: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/tsxs N: 1 tag overridden (1 error) I believe it is ok to overrule lintian about "dir-or-file-in-var-run2 since I do take care of the possible volatile file system in the init script. I do provide some information and hints how to configure Traffic Server though. Moreover I am (as you might have already noticed) not a native English speaker. Hence my documentation my be worth to be reviewed by a native speaker as well. The upload would fix these bugs: 609285 The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/trafficserver - - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/trafficserver/trafficserver_2.1.5-unstable-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
