Bug#883726: RFS: budgie-extras/0.3.0-1 [ITP]

[foss.freedom]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity:  wishlist

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-extras"

 * Package name: budgie-extras
   Version : 0.3.0-1
   Upstream Author : Ubuntu Budgie Developers
 * URL : https://github.com/ubuntubudgie/budgie-extras
 * License : GPL-3+
   Section : misc

  It builds those binary packages:

budgie-countdown-applet - Applet providing a countdown capability
on the Budgie Desktop
 budgie-hotcorners-applet - Applet providing hotcorners capabilities
for the Budgie Desktop
 budgie-keyboard-autoswitch-applet - Applet adding the ability to set
a different keyboard layout per

 budgie-window-mover-applet - Applet allows moving windows between
workspaces for the Budgie De
 budgie-workspace-overview-applet - Applet providing quick access to
workspaces for the Budgie Deskto
 budgie-workspace-wallpaper-applet - Applet providing per workspace wallpaper

  To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/budgie-extras


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-extras/budgie-extras_0.3.0-1.dsc

Notes:

Budgie Desktop is the flagship desktop system for Solus. Budgie
Desktop can be extended through applets - LibPeas based applications
that provide extra capabilities not available through the core
product.

For this sponsorship request, myself as the project lead of the
GNU/Linux distro Ubuntu Budgie have been working with my team to
develop a series of additional Budgie Desktop applets that we believe
give the end user additional optional capabilities to enhance their
user experience.  These applets are distro agnostic and we believe
would benefit Debian users of the Budgie Desktop.

Viability: The Ubuntu Budgie team have a direct interest in developing
and maintaining these applets.  These are already available to Ubuntu
Budgie users via its backports PPA.

Maintainership: I maintain all budgie related packages for both Debian
and Ubuntu.

Packaging:

We have made each applet available as individual binary packages -
this allows users the flexibility to choose specific applets rather
than having to install everything.

For this release (and moving forward) I have signed with my 4K based
key. The package was verfied through a `uscan -v --force-download` and
unpacked & built & uploaded to mentors

check-all-the-things has been run on the source and where appropriate
we have tidied up both the source and debian packaging.

lintian -i -I --pedantic on the built changes file has been run and is
lintian free.

We include a pep8 based autopkgtest that has been tested on an schroot
for both unstable and also Ubuntu's bionic series.  The test has
passed successfully.

The package itself runs with an autotest -  the same pep8 test for
autopkgtests (see tools/run_pep8)

Testing:

The minimal XFCE based Debian Buster was upgraded to unstable and
budgie-desktop was installed.

The package was built and each individual binary package was installed
and tested to confirm that they work correctly - this importantly
caught all the necessary runtime dependencies that have been captured
in debian/control

  Changes since the last upload:

 * Initial Release (Closes: #883720)

  Changes since the last upload:

* Initial release (Closes: #859130)
* Added a Makefile
* Administrative defects detected by lintian

  The relevance of this Forth in regard of the availability of other
  Forth's in Debian :
 * the connection with Forth's on microcontrollers, in partical
http://home.hccnet.nl/willem.ouwerkerk/pr-bytef.htm  (8051 AVR)
http://home.hccnet.nl/anij/nof/noforth.html  (MSP430)
   Tools in behalf of these (ide's, metacompiler, calibration
   programs) can then be built using a trusted compiler.
 * building real time control, portable accross Linux and 
MS-Windows's

   e.g. (requires a true parallel port:)
http://home.hccnet.nl/a.w.m.van.der.horst/manx.html
 * ease of making elf executables and simplicity in general e.g.

https://github.com/albertvanderhorst/primecounting/tree/master/sieve

http://home.hccnet.nl/a.w.m.van.der.horst/ciasdis_1.0_all.deb

  Sponsoring efforts should be low, in view of one assembler source
  and basically a one line build.

 Albert van der Horst

Bug#883611:

[Paolo Gigante]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for following up on this. To address your points:

1) The point raised in the ITP about stopping critical applications cleanly
is an example scenario. The idea being that you have the ability to run any
custom script at each of those phases. Other examples may include:
  - Backing up config files before applying updates
  - making an API call to a monitoring system to put the server in
maintenance mode
  - adjust a status file which is used to keep the server in a loadbalance
pool
  - possibly creating lvm snapshots before applying updates
  - capture current system statistics and states metrics which can then be
compared post updates ie: listening ports before updates are applied and
after the patching process has completed (Including post-reboot)
The possibilities with these pre and post scripts are endless and have the
potential to be extremely useful especially with tasks that you may not
want or need to write a specific custom systemd file or init script. In
addition tho this, the script hooks are not only for the reboot phase but
also for the download and apply phases.

2) While it is possible to separate the download and install schedules in
unattended-upgrades, it becomes a bit more of a task to work around an
automatic version controlled setup. For example, you want a test
environment to install updates in the first week of the month but the
production environment should only be updated in the third week. With
unattended upgrades, the latest packages will be downloaded and installed
which may not have been the packages that were tested. With auter, you can
set all environments to download patches at the same time and only install
those specific downloaded packages at the required schedule.

3) While unattended-upgrades can also schedule automatic reboots, the huge
advantage here is being able to run pre and post reboot scripts which are
specific to the patching process as discussed in point 1

4) The separate patching profiles is one of the specific request we had
when building this tool.

5) I am sure there are many use cases where system administrators are
maintaining environments  with multiple Linux distributions and having a
tool which can be configured in the same way regardless of distribution is
a huge advantage.

Thanks
Paolo

A comment on the ITP features:

Critical applications should be cleanly integrated with the system so
that normal shutdown/reboot does the right thing.

This is also supported by unattended-upgrades under systemd.

This is also supported by apt, except reboot hooks but those should
probably be integrated into the init system instead.

This is also supported by unattended-upgrades, including a set reboot time.

In theory this could be possible with unattended-upgrades but I think
it would be hard to setup.

That seems like a plus for those stuck in that situation indeed.

Hi Juhani,

Thanks for the advise, I will start to work on that now but I am also
trying to ensure that the same package will build for ubuntu based systems
which is why I used compat 9 however I will try add an appropriate check in
the Makefile for that.

Hi Bart,

I am not entirely sure about the correct process for creating a new package
as the docs recommend creating an ITP so I raised that last month. With no
response to that I raised a separate bug seeking sponsorship. I am not sure
if both are a requirement.

Hi Pabs,

As per the ITP (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=880600)
there is a lot of additional functionality that auter provides which goes
way beyond what is offered by cron-apt and unattended-upgrades:

- Auter has the functionality to separate download schedules from install
schedules which is great for organisations wanting to version control
updates across multiple servers and environments while staggering the
update process for the servers.
- It also allows for customised scripts to be executed pre and post
downloading updates, applying updates and rebooting the server
- It has the option to automate reboots after the patching process has been
applied
- There is an option of setting up multiple patching profiles eg: weekly
application patches and monthly system/kernel patching (This is entirely
customiseable)
- In cases where admins have multiple servers with different rehdat or
debian based distributions, the same application and configuration files
can be deployed to servers regardless of the distribution.

Thanks for the responses.
