I'm not sure what you are really after, but maybe this helps:
grml's zsh config has a nice function dneews:

% which dnews
dnews () {
emulate -L zsh
if [[ -r /usr/share/doc/$1/NEWS.Debian.gz ]]
then
$PAGER /usr/share/doc/$1/NEWS.Debian.gz
else
if [[ -r /usr/share/doc/$1/NEWS.gz ]]
then
$PAGER /usr/share/doc/$1/NEWS.gz
else
echo "No NEWS file for package $1 found, sorry."
return 1
fi
fi
}


Cheers,
gregor

Re: Debian Med video conference tomorrow, Friday 2021-12-17 18:00 UTC

2021-12-16 Thread Andreas Tille
Hi,

this is the call for the next video conference of the Debian Med team
that are an established means to organise the tasks inside our team.
We do these conferences twice per month on every

   2th  and  17th

of a month.  Usually it takes us only 15-20min depending what we are
talking about and how many people are joining.  The next meeting is
tomorrow 18:00 UTC
   
 
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Debian+CoViD-19+Biohackathon+Video+Conference&iso=20211217T18

The meeting is on the Debian Social channel

 https://jitsi.debian.social/DebianMedCovid19

These video meetings were started in the Debian Med Biohackathon.
The topic is what contributors have done in the past period and to
coordinate the work until the next meeting.

For those who are interested in hot topics we want to tackle, here
are some items:

  - This month we are doing our advent calendar bug squashing party
(even if its not displayed as nicely as in former years).[0]

  - Effort to package tensorflow and other ML software which is
used in several applications that are used to fight COVID-19.
The precondition bazel to package tensorflow was a direct
consequence of a Debian Med hackathon and it was even
acknowledged[1]

  - Package software that is used to fight COVID-19 which we are
listing in some spreadsheet[2].  It reaches from small tools
up to complex software packages.  There should be targets for
everybody who wants to join us.

  - General Debian Med issues not directly connected to COVID-19

Newcomers and bug squashing volunteers are always welcome.

Lets keep on the great work and see you tomorrow
 
   Andreas.

Bug#1001812: ITP: mold -- mold: A Modern Linker

2021-12-16 Thread Sylvestre Ledru
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Sylvestre Ledru 
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org

* Package name: mold
  Version : 1.0.0
  Upstream Author : Rui Ueyama 
* URL : https://github.com/rui314/mold
* License : AGPL v3
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : mold: A Modern Linker


Lazy quote from upstream:
mold is a faster drop-in replacement for existing Unix linkers. It is several 
times faster than LLVM lld linker, the second-fastest open-source linker which 
I originally created a few years ago. mold is created for increasing developer 
productivity by reducing build time especially in rapid debug-edit-rebuild 
cycles.



Pb with version comparison

2021-12-16 Thread Yadd

Hi all,

during an update I encountered a problem:
 * package node-is-plain-object breaks gulp < 4.0.2-9 (both already
   migrated to testing)
 * I created new gulp: 4.0.2+~cs54.26.36-1
 * gulp-4.0.2+~cs54.26.36-1 is considered as newer than 4.0.2-9 during
   install which is logical
 * When launching another build (schroot) with this new package, build
   failed because dpkg considers 4.0.2+~cs54.26.36-1 < 4.0.2-9 and
   refuse to install gulp-4.0.2+~cs54.26.36-1 with node-is-plain-object

Did I something wrong or is there a bug somewhere else?

To workaround, I modified node-is-plain-object "Breaks" field for now

Cheers,
Yadd



Bug#1001803: ITP: python-djangorestframework-flex-fields -- Dynamic fields and nested resources for DRF

2021-12-16 Thread Michael Fladischer
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Michael Fladischer 
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA512

* Package name: python-djangorestframework-flex-fields
  Version : 0.9.6
  Upstream Author : Robert Singer 
* URL : https://github.com/rsinger86/drf-flex-fields/
* License : Expat
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Dynamic fields and nested resources for DRF

 FlexFields (DRF-FF) for Django REST Framework is a package designed to provide
 a common baseline of functionality for dynamically setting fields and nested
 models within DRF serializers. To remove unneeded fields, you can dynamically
 set fields, including nested fields, via URL parameters
 (?fields=name,address.zip) or when configuring serializers. Additionally, you
 can dynamically expand fields from simple values to complex nested models, or
 treat fields as "deferred", and expand them on an as-needed basis.
 .
 This package is designed for simplicity and provides two classes - a viewset
 class and a serializer class (or mixin) - with minimal magic and entanglement
 with DRF's foundational classes.

I intend to maintain this package as part of the Debian Python Team.
