Bug#724715: ITP: eiffelstudio -- The EiffelStudio IDE and tools for the Eiffel language.
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Louis M * Package name: eiffelstudio Version : 7.3.9.2766 Upstream Author : Eiffel Software * URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/eiffelstudio/ * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: C, Eiffel Description : The EiffelStudio IDE and tools for the Eiffel language. EiffelStudio is a modern IDE offering the following features: * Complete compiler for the Eiffel programming language, with both high compile-time speed and high-performance executables * Support for Windows, MacOS X, Linux, *BSD, Solaris and other operating systems * Smart code editor * Sophisticated multi-view browsing and viewing facilities * Interactive debugger * Graphical modelling tool for UML and BON with full roundtrip * Refactoring support * GUI development tool and fully portable GUI library The Eiffel compiler creates C code that is then handed to a standard C compiler. As a result, Eiffel programs have a run-time performance comparable to those directly written in C or C++. At the same time, Eiffel is an object oriented and strongly typed language. EiffelStudio uses a highly efficient compacting garbage collector to free the developer from the burden of memory management. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Removing old unmaintained X drivers
Hi, we (the debian X Strike Force) are thinking of removing the following packages from the archive, unless somebody steps up (soon) to take care of them. The reason is they see 0 testing, nobody maintains them upstream, if you're lucky people keep some of them building when APIs change, if you're very lucky they get a release with all the build fixes once in a while, and it's likely most of them don't have any users anymore. While it would probably be easy to get them to stop FTBFS right now, it doesn't seem worth it to keep all of those drivers around with the maintenance overhead that comes with that if nobody's going to notice anyway. So please speak up if you want to see one of these in jessie. xserver-xorg-video-apm xserver-xorg-video-ark xserver-xorg-video-chips xserver-xorg-video-glint xserver-xorg-video-i128 xserver-xorg-video-i740 xserver-xorg-video-newport xserver-xorg-video-rendition xserver-xorg-video-s3 xserver-xorg-video-s3virge xserver-xorg-video-sis xserver-xorg-video-suncg14 xserver-xorg-video-suncg3 xserver-xorg-video-suncg6 xserver-xorg-video-sunleo xserver-xorg-video-suntcx xserver-xorg-video-tdfx xserver-xorg-video-tga xserver-xorg-video-tseng xserver-xorg-video-voodoo Cheers, Julien signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Yes, I completely ack your proposal. unrar-free is useless for practical matters nowadays, and it just creates frustration for our users.

I expect the wrapper to be quite easy to make (of course, for the most common options, I don't know how far in the UI emulation you plan to dig), and would really welcome you doing this. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Re: Removing some kernel-related virtual packages

They appear to be designed to block auto-removal of installed linux-image-* and linux-header-* packages. /etc/kernel/postinst.d/apt-auto-removal /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01autoremove-kernels I would hope not. Whereas (from the problem description) the virtual-package issue appears to prevent autoremoval of *all* such packages, these appear designed to prevent autoremoval of *only some specific* kernel packages, specifically enough packages to guarantee that a "last known good" one remains available for fallback in case of boot problems with a newly-installed kernel. I've had (minor and easily fixed) boot problems with a new kernel often enough that I consider this type of fallback a very much necessary safeguard. At a glance, these two files appear to provide a minimal way of ensuring that such a fallback exists, without preventing root from manually overriding it. If the stated goal is to avoid having e.g. /boot fill up with cruft short of manual intervention, then at a glance, the mechanism which these files provide does not seem to interfere with that goal. -- The Wanderer Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any side of it.

In shunit2's case, ksh is optionally used as part of the test suite. Removing the dependency did not cause FTBFS. In graphviz's case, it seems there's three implementations of /usr/bin/dotty and lneato in the source; a sh, a ksh and a bash. None are run (afaics) in the build phase and the sh ones are installed in the binary.

pdksh transitional package going away...
Andreas Henriksson dixit: >I intend to drop the iproute transitional packages in Jessie+1. > >This message is here to give all 68 packages depending/recommending/suggesting Ah, good idea, to remind people again. I intend to drop the pdksh transitional package in between the time Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (I assume 17 April 2014) is released and the freeze for Jessie will be enacted, with the assumption there is some time in between these two. The reason for this is that, by then, the pdksh transitional package will have been in a stable version in both distros. In Debian, there are only two packages depending, recommending, suggesting or build-depending on pdksh right now: Christoph Egger graphviz (U) David Claughton graphviz Sebastian Harl graphviz (U) Ulrich Dangel shunit2 Furthermore, one package has an alternating dependency with pdksh already lower priorised than mksh, and ksh93 has a versioned conflict on pdksh which thus is not an issue. I would like to ask the aforementioned maintainers to transition to depending/build-depending on mksh instead and try to use the mksh binary for their scripts, and the lksh binary otherwise (i.e. if they are scrips requiring the legacy behaviour). I will assist with adjusting scripts, of course; please contact me privately or the miros-mksh (at) mirbsd (point) org mailing list (no subscription needed).
