Re: Sponsoring of packages for the next stable release

2021-01-19 Thread Ryan Pavlik
Anton,

Thanks for taking the time to update that package! Upstream has released
another RC (which should be identical to 3.0 with the exception of
translation updates). Additionally, we've found a patch from upstream
mimalloc that should fix the armel build (I hope), and which I have
included in the debian package. I have updated to that upstream release,
and updated the package substantially (removed some bundled fonts and
js, etc) and pushed to my salsa repo: I wasn't sure if you wanted me to
push to the main team repo, especially since the existing version is
"3.0.rc1+repack1" which Lintian warns me is not less than 3.0 - I did my
import as "3.0~rc2+repack1" accordingly.

https://salsa.debian.org/rpavlik/solvespace

When you have a chance, I'd appreciate a review and sponsoring. I've
done basic testing of the package myself, especially the parts that are
affected by patches/repack, and it seems to work well to me.

Thanks!

Ryan

Re: Sponsoring before freeze

2021-01-19 Thread Thomas Schiex
Dear Anton,

I pushed the new upstream version of toulbar2.

I'm now wondering what autopkgtest would be useful for. When you build
the package, the dh_auto_test target does launch our ctest target. So
the tests are run anyway for all builds. What does autopkgtest would
bring then?

Also, if someone has an example of a package that uses autopkgtest in a
cmake with ctest context in mind,  this could help.

Kind regards

Thomas

Bug#980463: ITP: scil -- Scientific Compression Library (SCIL)

2021-01-19 Thread Alastair McKinstry
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Alastair McKinstry 

* Package name: scil
  Version : 0.1
  Upstream Author : Julian Kunkel 
* URL : https://github.com/JulianKunkel/scil
* License : LGPL-3
  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Scientific Compression Library (SCIL)

The Scientific Compression Library (SCIL) is a  meta-compressor that allows 
users
to set various quantities that define the acceptable error and the expected 
performance behavior.
The library aims to choose the appropriate chain of algorithms to yield the 
users requirements
(this feature is still under development). This approach is a crucial step 
towards a
scientifically safe use of much-needed lossy data compression, because it 
disentangles the tasks
of determining scientific ground characteristics of tolerable noise, from the 
task of
determining an optimal compression strategy given target noise levels and 
constraints.
Future algorithms are used without change in the application code, once they 
are integrated into SCIL.
SCIL also comes with a pattern library to generate various relevant synthetic 
test patterns.
Further tools are provided to plot, add noise or to compress CSV and NetCDF3 
files.
Internally, support functions simplify the development of new algorithms and 
the testing.

This is then an optional dependency of ESDM, also being packaged.

Dear Anton,

Thanks a lot for the final commits (just looked into them).

I will be looking into autopkgtest. I understand it provides something
similar to "travis/ci" which we use on our upstream repo.

There is a new upstream version of toulbar2 that popped up in the mean
time. I will try to allocate time to push it to salsa before the freeze.

Kind regards

Thomas
