Bug#666221: RFS: bwctl/1.3-1 [ITP] -- bandwidth test controller

2012-03-30 Thread Ansgar Burchardt
Hi,

[ I have no intention to sponsor this package. ]

Raoul Borenius boren...@dfn.de writes:
 * License : custom license which is not considered free (see
 
 http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2012/02/msg4.html)
   but upstream is apparently changing to apache license in
   upcoming release of bwctl

Then it should not go to main. See [1] how to change this in the source
package.

  bwctl-client - bandwidth test controller (client)
  bwctl-doc  - documentation for bandwidth test controller
  bwctl-server - bandwidth test controller (server)
  i2util-tools - internet2 utilities
  libbwlib-dev - bandwidth test controller (development)
  libi2util-dev - internet2 utility library (development)
  libthrulay-dev - network capacity tester (development)
  libthrulay0 - network capacity tester (runtime)
  thrulay-client - network capacity tester (client)
  thrulay-server - network capacity tester (server)

Is it really necessary to split this in so many packages?

Regards,
Ansgar

Reupload after deletion on mentors

2012-03-30 Thread Daniel Stender
Hi guys,

I really don't have a clue: on the mentors site I've deleted a previously 
successful
uploaded package, after that I've tried to re-upload it, but everything fails,
http upload gives 403 Forbidden, FTP upload gives 533 Could not create file,
and furthermore The existing file may have been previously uploaded partially 
etc.

What went wrong, and what can I do? (the package is Gummi, the signature is 
good and
also uploaded to the site)

Greetings,
Daniel Stender

 Hi guys,

Dear Daniel,

I have encountered the same problem. In fact, your upload has been taken into 
account and is somewhere in the queue.

You just have to wait some hours.

HTH

Yes I know that there is an upload queue that is no problem (it takes time 
until an
uploaded package appears on the page), but, is there also a deletion queue?
I mean why is the reupload blocked after deletion, does it also takes time to 
get
purged? I've tried to get dcut into charge but it says it is forbidden in this 
queue.
Any further suggestions?

Greetings,
Daniel Stender

 The simplest solution to fixing a partially-uploaded package is to make
 sure you're using the FTP protocol in dput instead of the HTTP protocol.
  The program that processes the upload queue will wait for the .dsc file
 to appear in the file transfer area (the .dsc is always the last file
 uploaded by dput) and will not normally remove the rest of the package
 files until it appears.  When dput uses FTP, it will take a 403 (caused
 by a permission problem when replacing an existing file) and proceed to
 the next file, whereas when it uses HTTP it just gives up.

Thanks Stephen for the suggestion. Yes I am going to use the FTP method in the 
future that's
better.

The upload queue is still blocked and I think I know what went wrong: I've 
uploaded
the package which appeared on mentors a couple of minutes later. After that 
I've uploaded a
slightly altered package, and while that one was in the upload queue I've 
accidentally
deleted the package through the account menu - I think now the 2nd package 
hangs in the upload
queue and probably blocks all future uploads of that, isn't that the case?

Daniel Stender
