nlopt is maintained as part of the Debian Science time, and according to
the Debian Science policy, the team has already agreed to use Git as its
VCS [1].

In any case, I have zero time to continue working on this package in the
forseeable future.

Package: src:nlopt
Version: 2.4.2+dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist
Control: block 855597 by -1

Hello,

I'm looking to package phyx, but it depends on the C++ version of the nlopt 
library.
While libnlopt-dev provides both the C and the C++ headers, the compiled
library only works for C++. We need separate packages for the C++ library.

I wouldn't mind making this change for you. Just let me know. I will need
it in order to continue packaging phyx (ITP set as a blocked by this).

Many thanks and regards
Afif

If it's the case as it appears to be that the usual caretakers of this
package don't have time for it anymore, you may want to join Debian
Science and take over maintaining the package here. I could help you get
started with Debian packaging if you're interested.

The specific reason is probably that nobody has spent time on it. The
last commit to the packaging VCS was over two years ago. The last upload
to the archive was a couple months before that, in late 2013.

There seem to be license issues that haven't been sorted out and the QA
team has even filed for removal of the package from the archive
altogether [1].

The only way to keep it in Debian would be to find someone (or become
someone) who is interested in taking care of the package here. Perhaps
you might be able to convince the people involved in the Ubuntu
packaging to get involved with it here. As far as I know, most of the
benefit to Ubuntu was that the software was newer than in Debian Stable,
but we have stable-backports which can sometimes provide newer packages
than Ubuntu.

Many thanks and regards
Afif

The second tarball gets extracted to outputcheck/ (directory name is
based on the name of the subcomponent according to the 3.0 format). It
looks like your code expects it in a subdirectory of utils, so I would
put a symlink there as part of the build process or adjust the script
to find it in outputcheck/ rather than utils/.

I believe you can also get rid of the code to extract the outputcheck
tarball in the first place. The conventions for the package format
should take care of preparing the source tree.

Afif

That's alright, you can go ahead. I would just add that the source for
the second tarball be documented somewhere or configured to be
downloaded in debian/watch with a second uscan line. Something like the
following:

version=4

Ah, yes, ok. Thanks for clarifying that. This is a multiple upstream
tarball package [1]. The last time I checked this, it wasn't
well-supported with git-buildpackage [2], which would explain why I
don't have the necessary supplemental tarball (and why the build
consequently fails for me).

I don't have experience with multiple upstream tarballs myself, so I'll
have to look up some things. I'd like to keep with the team policy of
maintaining the package under VCS, so I want to see if there's a way to
make this work. Is https://github.com/stp/OutputCheck the original
source? I think the source address should be documented somewhere in the
package as well-- either in d/copyright or as an additional line in
debian/watch, or both. I'll look into this when I get a chance.

Yes, it's because I'm missing the supplemental tarball by having pulled

I use:

$ cat ~/.lintianrc
color=always
display-experimental=no
display-info=yes
pedantic=no

But it's possible that lintian could miss something like this--
sometimes Debian contributors really do have their packaging VCS hosted
on github.

Thanks for working on this package. I took a look at it and found some
issues. The first is the requirement of the additional file
stp_2.1.2+dfsg.orig-outputcheck.tar.gz. You should not be directly using
anything outside the packaging directory.

There's at least one other issue--in debian/control, the Vcs URLs should
be pointing to the packaging repository rather than upstream. I didn't
check further because the package currently doesn't build. Most such
problems can be found by running lintian, but we first need the package
to build in a minimal environment.

regards
Afif

RFP: python-cylp (initial packaging available)

2015-09-20 Thread Afif Elghraoui
Hi, all,

I've done most of my work in Debian Med, not so much in Debian Science.
This package (CyLP) is a Python interface to COIN-OR. I packaged
python-cobra (aka cobrapy), which can use this as a solver interface and
Debian packaging for CyLP was requested by the cobrapy developer. I'm
not actually very concerned with it, so I filed an RFP on his behalf [1].

The RFP apparently didn't go anywhere where anyone would see it, so I
thought I would get the packaging started myself. Again, I am not really
interested in maintaining it myself, so I'm hoping to renew the RFP and
provide the groundwork for the package if anyone here can take over it.

The initial packaging is now in Debian Science git:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-science/packages/python-cylp


Some notes for anyone interested in taking up this package:
* Some of the source files (see d/copyright for the exact file names)
are copyright IBM with a header that only says "All Rights Reserved", so
that will require some clarification from upstream.

* The package currently does not build: upstream provides pre-cythonized
files. Using these, the C/CXX codes compile, but one of the tests failed
with a segmentation fault error. I overrode the d/rules clean target to
get rid of the cythonized files so that they are freshly generated with
each build, but there is then one file that fails to cythonize.

* I have a branch set up where Python3 packaging can be attempted (named
topic/python3-packaging), but obviously, Python2 packaging needs to be
working first.


Many thanks and regards
Afif
