Bug#504058: Zotero Update

I also thought so given my previous experience with conkeror, but it is actually more complicated than a simple xulrunner application (hint: look at the build.sh script).

Since they are built from what is essentially the same source and have most of the same dependencies, I think we should probably build both pieces of software from the same source package. In that sense, I think my first preference would be for Theodore Lytras (who already maintains xul-ext-zotero) to take this on. At the very least, whoever *does* take this on should coordinate with Theodore. While I agree that both packages should come from the same source, after having heavily discussed with Michele Cane (who actually offered help in this same ITP [1]) we went ahead and both packages (zotero-standalone and the LO integration) are on their way to be uploaded [2]. The merge can be done later on, also considering that the last uploaded version for xul-ext-zotero is 10-month-old.

Bug#504058: packaging of zotero standalone
Hi, I have completed the packaging of zotero standalone (along with the libreoffice integration). You can find the package here for testing: http://alioth.debian.org/~heiserhorn-guest/debian/heiserhorn-unstable/ You can test it if you want and I hope it will be uploaded in the next weeks in unstable.

Bug#504058: (no subject)
Hi all About two weeks ago Zotero 3.0 got released. This release features final version of standalone client. I got no problem running it under my Debian testing (AMD64), so I guess building should be smooth too. There is link for source code: http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/source_code (I am providing it, since I had problem finding source code on their website.) There are also links to many other helpful resources, such as building instructions. I have also filed bug against xul-ext-zotero, informing maintainer of this package about new upstream release. I think that it would be great if Zotero standalone could ship with Wheezy. -- Best regards Mirosław Zalewski -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#504058: Zotero standalone
Hi, Now that Zotero standalone is in beta i thought it would be nice to have it in Debian. I came across this ITP and I would like to give a hand to package and maintain the package. Have someone already took some steps? Cheers -- Michele Cane
Bug#504058: RFS: xul-ext-zotero
Hi Benjamin, I have packaged Zotero the Iceweasel extension, and have uploaded to mentors.debian.net (as package xul-ext-zotero). It can be found here: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xul-ext-zotero/ I have also made an announcement in debian-mentors looking for a sponsor: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2011/07/msg00043.html Hopefully you could guide me into perfecting this package (I am a total rookie at debian packaging) and act as the sponsor. In the future I also intend to package the Zotero Openoffice integration extension, and would be glad to help you with packaging Zotero Standalone. Thank you for your attention and assistance, Kind regards, Theodore Lytras -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#504058: Packaging Zotero in Debian
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=504058#37 The next version of Zotero is being developed as a standalone application [which] should be packaged in Debian. Agreed. I am a maintainer and very heavy Zotero user and I am happy to do it. Thanks. Please contact me if you want to work on this or help, etc. I don't know much about Debian packaging, but I'd like to learn, and could at least help test. You might also find useful my wiki page http://www.zotero.org/support/dev/building_the_standalone_client My forum entry http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/15710 might also be useful for structuring communication with the Zotero devs (they claim to read all forum posts). hth, Tom Roche tom_ro...@pobox.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#504058: Packaging Zotero in Debian
retitle 504058 ITP: zotero -- program to collect, manage and cite bibliographic information thanks The conversation on this bug seemed to end two years ago with no consensus on what to do. Some people suggested that it would be useful to have the Zotero extension packaged in Debian. Others disagreed basically because they don't think FireFox/IceWeasel extensions should be packaged in Debian at all. In any case, recent upstream developments with Zotero change the situation. The next version of Zotero is being developed as a standalone application. As a result, this version of Zotero certainly should be packaged in Debian. I am a maintainer and very heavy Zotero user and I am happy to do it. There is currently an alpha version as Zotero Standalone. I'm going to create packages for Zotero standalone and I'll follow up with a link to them here. Probably when upstream releases a beta, I will upload those packages into Debian.

It is unclear to me what benefit making a package would bring. exactly the same benefits as any other package of firefox extension: Presumably these benefits are minor, as there are relatively few firefox extensions in the package repositories. I bet your pardon, their 'minor' is 'major' for me, whenever I am to administer such a computational server with 30 users and want to make them use zotero. zotero needs pdftotext and pdfinfo tools to be present or otherwise suggests to download them for you and place in its directory.

The changes to these utilities are minor (e.g. adding file output), but have not been accepted by upstream as far as I know. I hope they make zotero compatible with upstream versions of the tools... btw on their VCS I see only changes to https://www.zotero.org/trac/browser/tools/xpdf/pdfinfo.cc so there is a hope that pdftotext is fine as is in Debian? ;-) For me, trial on zotero failed miserably -- after a crash of firefox, zotero fails to open its own database (.bak file was already bad one after 'failed' opening)... and I reluctant at this point to investigate the problem due to shortage of time... but I might give zotero another try whenever it is in Debian since it would make it much easier to file a bug report than using their forums. -- Yaroslav Halchenko Research Assistant, Psychology Department, Rutgers-Newark Student Ph.D. @ CS Dept.

Bug#504058: Zotero license and what packaging benefit?
The extension can be easily downloaded from zotero.org works as-is under Debian. It is unclear to me what benefit making a package would bring. exactly the same benefits as any other package of firefox extension: 1. point of entry to install it would be the same as for any other Debian package (e.g. apt-get install) 2. automagic upgrades with the rest of the system 3. Debian specifics of the software might reveal its ugly face after extended usage, or right after making it installed system-wide 4. and 4th -- it is that 1,2 is done at the system level, so if a box is used concurrently by multiple users, they don't have to install/upgrade it manually per account/firefox so imho benefits are obvious and it would be great to see it in Debian!!! -- .-. =-- /v\ = Keep in touch// \\ (yoh@|www.)onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko /( )\ ICQ#: 60653192 Linux User^^-^^[17] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#504058: Zotero license and what packaging benefit?
It is not available under the GPL, but under the Educational Community License v. 1.0. This is a free/open license that is used by Sakai, the Fedora institutional repository software, and a few other projects. None of these are in Debian main currently. (There have been remarks some time ago that the license may change to ECL-2.0 sometime, which is GPL3 (but not GPL2) compatible.)

Bug#504058: RFP: Zotero -- Firefox addon to collect, manage and cite bibliographic information; also has plugin for OpenOffice.Org
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist *** Please type your report below this line *** Zotero (zotero.org) is one the best pieces of bibliography manager software out there that I have seen in recent years. It is open source and GPL, IIRC, and should be okay with Debian's policy of licensing. It is a Firefox (Iceweasel) addon and it also has plugins for MS Office and Openoffice.Org. It provides one of the best methods I have seen these days to manage bibliographys and to include references in a document while writing. I hope this package is included in Debian very soon.
