Bug#1076550: ITP: squashfs-mount -- setuid utility instead of FUSE for mounting squashfs files
Package: wnpp Owner: Salvatore Bonaccorso Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org * Package name: squashfs-mount Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : Ben Cumming Simon Pintarelli Harmen Stoppels * URL : https://github.com/eth-cscs/squashfs-mount * License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: C Description : setuid utility instead of FUSE for mounting squashfs files squashfs-mount is a small setuid binary that effectively runs mount -n -o loop,nosuid,nodev,ro -t squashfs [image] [mountpoint] in a mount namespace and then executes the given command as the invoking user. squashfs-mount is used within the CSCS and the motivation for this utility is described in the upstream README. 1. Bad performance compared to the Linux kernel. Using a 700MB gzip compressed squashfs file containing GCC, the time to build a subset (2k targets) of LLVM 14.0.5: squashfs-mount: 8m 9.52s; squashfuse 0.1.103 / fuse 3.9.0: 12m 49.00s. squashfuse has about 57% overhead compiling LLVM. 2. Inconvenient when scripting.

I noticed the above, and while I'm usually rather silent on the mailinglist I though it might be good to comment as well from my veryp ersonal point of view. For me it would be important to keep on track on new stuff happening in Debian, but on the other side I have to admit that given the free time is limited, even though the above, I rather prefer to work on the things I'm in directly, are already quite involving and the free time is not infinite. This does not mean that I would agree on such conclusions, but rather in the light of what I have just written, that I need to prioritize and simply do not have time to be involved in these discussions (and not all are native english speakers). I regularly just need to mark threads as read, which would be important to follow, or longisher mails, because of lack of the needed time to dedicate as well for that. Regards, Salvatore

Disclaimer: there is no actual implementation for this yet, so only a comment on that: The idea is to have something like the DM upload permissions. There are packages which recieve frequent updates trough security, where already now the maintainer is the one doing all the packaging work, has the most knowledge and testing tme, but then the bottleneck to actual release the package is the load/time missing on the team.

Normally, modules specify some fixed mechanism for error handling and require client code to adapt to that policy. One module may signal errors by returning undef, or perhaps some special "error object". Another may die or croak on failure. A third may set a flag variable. A fourth may require the client code to set up a callback, which is executed on failure. If you are using all four modules, your own code now has to check for failure in four different ways, depending on where the failing component originated. If you would rather that all components throw exceptions, or all return undef, you will probably have to write wrappers around 3/4 of them, to convert from their "native" failure mechanism to your preferred one.

Package: wnpp Owner: Salvatore Bonaccorso Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org,debian-p...@lists.debian.org * Package name: libdevel-callsite-perl Version : 0.07 Upstream Author : Rocky Bernstein (current maintainer), Ted Zlatanov , Ben Morrow * URL : https://metacpan.org/release/Devel-Callsite/ * License : Artistic or GPL-2+ Programming Lang: Perl Description : Perl module to get caller return OP address and Perl interpreter context Devel::Callsite module provides subroutines to get the caller return OP address and perl interpreter context. The callsite() function returns the OP address of the caller, a number, one level up from where it was called. It's useful for functions that need to uniquely know where they were called, such as Every::every(); see Every. Or it can be used to pinpoint a location with finer granularity than a line number (see http://www.perlmonks.com/?node_id=987268). In conjunction with an OP tree disassembly you can know exactly where the caller is located in the Perl source. The context() function returns the interpreter context as a number. This is a fairly unique number together with the call site. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#720206: ITP: liblexical-var-perl -- Perl module for using static variables without namespace pollution
Package: wnpp
Owner: Salvatore Bonaccorso
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org,debian-p...@lists.debian.org
* Package name: liblexical-var-perl
Version : 0.008
Upstream Author : Andrew Main (Zefram)
* URL : https://metacpan.org/release/Lexical-Var
* License : Artistic or GPL-1+
Programming Lang: Perl
Description : Perl module for using static variables without namespace
pollution
Lexical::Var implements lexical scoping of subroutines. Although it can be
used directly, it is mainly intended to be infrastructure for modules that
manage namespaces.
This module influences the meaning of single-part subroutine names that
appear directly in code, such as "&foo" and "foo(123)". Normally, in the
absence of any particular declaration, these would refer to the subroutine of
that name located in the current package. A Lexical::Sub declaration can
change this to refer to any particular subroutine, bypassing the package
system entirely. A subroutine name that includes an explicit package part,
such as "&main::foo", always refers to the subroutine in the specified
package, and is unaffected by this module. A symbolic reference through a
string value, such as "&{'foo'}", also looks in the package system, and so is
unaffected by this module.
The types of name that can be influenced are scalar ("$foo"), array
("@foo"), hash ("%foo"), subroutine ("&foo"), and glob ("*foo").

Its now some months since beginning of june. I have prepared in the
meanwhile a new usptream version 1.2.21, but I do not know how to best
proceede. I'm not fine with 'hijacking' the package but if Marcela is
not interested anymore in maintaining it I would gladly take over the
maintainership. For the package I only added myself to Uploaders and
asked Marcela if she is interested to have a co-maint for it.
I once got a just in August that Marcela is currently busy but will
have a look at the package I prepared, but then heard again anything
from her.
The package fixes e.g. the 'should be Architecture:all' bug and others
as mentioned above.
Here is the full changelog of the changes I applied. I know that
anyway now it is not anymore possible to have this updated version in
squeeze, as now already to late.
when (1.1.21-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release (Closes: #583646).
- Adds option to not display e.g. periodic items (Closes: #439115).
* Add myself to Uploaders.
* Bump compat level to 7. Simplify debian/rules to tiny format.
* Convert to '3.0 (quilt)' source package format.
* debian/control:
- Architecture: all as package contains only architecture-independent
files (Closes: #451606).
- Add Homepage field to source package stanza.
- Correct long description of package (Closes: #503271).
- Add ${perl:Depends} substitution variable for dh_perl in Depends field.
- Bump versioned dependency on debhelper to debhelper (>= 7.0.50) for
override targets.
* debian/rules: override target for dh_auto_test to no run the tests.
* Don't install README anymore.
* Add fix_517481_typo_in_localization.patch to fix a typo in localization
for spanish translations. Thanks to Mauro Lizaur
for reporting (Closes: #517481).
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1.
* Add debian/watch only explaining in comments that new upstream version
currently cannot be monitored.
* debian/copyright:
- Update debian/copyright to revision 135 of format-specification in
DEP5 for machine readable copyright file.
- Update copyright years and add alternate licensing to
Artistic license.
- Explicit point to the GPL-1 text in common-licenses as by Debian
Policy 3.9.1.

The last reply I got from her was on 2nd of june, replying on my request of updating 'when' package if possible, and she said, if I want, that I can prepare a package and she would sponsor it. I uploaded the package to mentors.d.n [1], which updates the packaging and fixes some of the bugs in BTS, in particular new upstream version and the 'should be Architecture:all' bug, and some others [2]. Since then I did not get any reply anymore from Marcela, does someone know if she is still around? It is not my intention to hijack the package, so I'm fine to remove myself from Uploaders or so, but would be great if some of the bugs there can be fixed, even if not RC bugs. Any hints on how I could procede? I know, as now squeeze is anyway is frozen, it may be impossible anyway to get updated and fixed package in squeeze, but that could be tried in accord to the release-team.

It uses Math::Pari(3), a perl interface to the blazingly fast PARI library, for big integer arithmetic and number theoretic computations. . Crypt::RSA provides arbitrary size key-pair generation, plaintext-aware encryption (OAEP) and digital signatures with appendix (PSS). For compatibility with SSLv3, RSAREF2, PGP and other applications that follow the PKCS #1 v1.5 standard, it also provides PKCS #1 v1.5 encryption and signatures. . Crypt::RSA is structured as bundle of modules that encapsulate different parts of the RSA cryptosystem. The RSA algorithm is implemented in Crypt::RSA::Primitives(3). Encryption schemes, located under Crypt::RSA::ES, and signature schemes, located under Crypt::RSA::SS, use the RSA algorithm to build encryption/signature schemes that employ secure padding. (See the note on Security of Padding Schemes.) . The key generation engine and other functions that work on both components of the key-pair are encapsulated in Crypt::RSA::Key(3). Crypt::RSA::Key::Public(3) & Crypt::RSA::Key::Private(3) provide mechanisms for storage & retrival of keys from disk, decoding & encoding of keys in certain formats, and secure representation of keys in memory. Finally, the Crypt::RSA module provides a convenient, DWIM wrapper around the rest of the modules in the bundle. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#531761: ITP: liblatex-encode-perl -- Perl module to encode characters for LaTeX formatting
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Salvatore Bonaccorso
* Package name: liblatex-encode-perl
Version : 0.03
Upstream Author : Andrew Ford
* URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/LaTeX-Encode/
* License : Perl
Programming Lang: Perl
Description : Perl module to encode characters for LaTeX formatting
LaTeX::Encode provides a function to encode text that is to be formatted with
LaTeX. It encodes characters that are special to LaTeX or that are
represented in LaTeX by LaTeX commands.
.
The special characters are: \ (command character), { (open group), } (end
group), & (table column separator), # (parameter specifier), % (comment
character), _ (subscript), ^ (superscript), ~ (non-breakable space), $
(mathematics mode).
.
Note that some of the LaTeX commands for characters are defined in the LaTeX
textcomp package. If your text includes such characters, you will need to
include the following lines in the preamble to your LaTeX document.
.
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
This Perl module is needed to fullfill the csv2pdf requirements in
liblatex-table-perl.

Golden * URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Test-MockRandom/ * License : Perl Programming Lang: Perl Description : Replaces random number generation with non-random number generation This perhaps ridiculous-seeming module was created to test routines that manipulate random numbers by providing a known output from rand. Given a list of seeds with srand, it will return each in turn. After seeded random numbers are exhausted, it will always return 0. Seed numbers must be of a form that meets the expected output from rand as called with no arguments -- i.e. they must be between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive). In order to facilitate generating and testing a nearly-one number, this module exports the function oneish, which returns a number just fractionally less than one. . Depending on how this module is called with use, it will export rand to a specified package (e.g. a class being tested) effectively overriding and intercepting calls in that package to the built-in rand. It can also override rand in the current package or even globally. In all of these cases, it also exports srand and oneish to the current package in order to control the output of rand. Rationale: This Perl module is used for testing during build of libmath-random-oo-perl.

Subclasses of this model will implement specific types of random number generators or will wrap existing random number generators. . This consistency will come at the cost of some efficiency, but will enable generic routines to be written that can manipulate any provided random number generator that adheres to the interface. E.g., a stochastic simulation could take a number of user-supplied parameters, each of which is a Math::Random::OO subclass object and which represent a stochastic variable with a particular probability distribution.

Using the makepod method you can generate documentation of the configuration file format. .. The maketmpl method can generate a template configuration file. If your grammar contains regexp matches, the template will not be all that helpful as Config::Grammar is not smart enough to give you sensible template data based in regular expressions.

The best method is to bounce (as in mutt) them. There is a plugin for thunder^Wicesomething to do that at http://mailredirect.mozdev.org/ . DO NOT do this automagically. If you want to help us, you must make personally sure that the things you report are REALLY spam. [...] ---[snap]--- Is this, what you are looking for?
