Re: RFS: JLDrill
Hi, This is again a request for a sponsor for JLDrill, a Japanese language learning tool. I'm not a Debian developer and have had some difficulty making good packages. I appreciate your patience! :-) This time I have removed the need for rake to build the debian package. I've left ruby, rspec, rcov and ruby-gems in the build dependencies because they are necessary if you want to do development on JLDrill, but they should no longer be necessary to build the debian package (I use the debhelper scripts now). [...] It appears that this RFS is open for quite a while now, with no substantial response. As myself I have no knowledge about packaging ruby applications, I'd like to point out the Debian ruby teams instead. Please take a look at http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Ruby and contact those people. Just one more note, though: you don't even have filed an ITP for this package, which could also have drawn more interest to this package.

Hi Michael. Thanks for the response. Since I didn't get a response for the RFP, I thought I would wait until the next release before I tried again. I will definitely contact the Debian Ruby team. Thanks for the advice. Also, what is an ITP? I'm new to Debian, so I'm not familiar with everything yet.

An ITP is the intent-to-package, which is a bug report to be filed against the wnpp pseudo package. Have you already had a chance to read the Debian New Maintainers' Guide? I'd suggest to start from there, which at least will briefly touch upon the ITP in the section dedicated to debian/changelog. Hope this helps, Michael pgpbfHP4xE671.pgp Description: PGP signature

The Rakefile requires rspec and a few other things, but they aren't actually required for building the debian package (only unit tests). I actually have a problem where the documentation is built with webgen, but the debian package for webgen is broken and can't build it. I'll have to think of the best way to fix this. Possibly I should build the Debian package without rake. I don't really understand how the debhelper tools work. Maybe I should be using them instead. I'll try again. Sorry for wasting your time!

RFS: JLDrill
Hello. I am not a Debian developer. I am the author of a tool for studying Japanese called JLDrill. I am looking for a sponsor to include it into Debian. Name: JLDrill License: GPL3 with a provision to allow for GPL2 distribution. Description: Japanese language drill program JLDrill is a program for helping people drill various aspects of the Japanese language. Current features include a unique spaced repetition drill function, a dictionary cross reference tool, Tanaka corpus collocation lookup, and a kanji reference with stroke order diagrams. It is similar to other spaced repetition software packages like Anki or Mnemosyne, but provides tools specific for studying Japanese. The spaced repetition algorithm is also not derived from Super Memo like Anki and Mnemosyne, but is unique and solves problems of short term memory acquisition, automatic grading of item difficulty and ability to deal with inconsistent review schedules. JLDrill has been in development for about 5 years and has undergone slow but steady development. I believe it will make a good entry for Debian since other spaced repetition software programs do not offer specific language study features. Similarly, Japanese language study programs do not offer spaced repetition drill features. Combining the two dramatically reduces the amount of busy work that is required when doing self-study. My motivation for asking for inclusion is that my users are requesting it. I have made a lintian clean debian package available here: http://sakabatou.dyndns.org/devel/jldrill/jldrill-0.5.1/jldrill_0.5.1-8_all.deb The main web page for JLDrill is here: http://jldrill.rubyforge.org/ JLDrill is written completely in ruby with no extensions. It uses ruby-gtk2, edict and the kanjistrokeorders font. I'm afraid that I have no idea how to package a ruby project properly, so there are likely to be problems with my debian package. I would be happy to follow any advice anyone has. One more quick issue is with the licensing of the drills/information that I am including at the moment. I've kept careful track of everything and I think the things I am including in the debian file are correct, but it if someone could check it over I would be really grateful.
