I suggest

Currently I force the build system to detect wodim, and maybe that
disables libburn. Or maybe the version we have doesn't yet use libburn,
I don't know. Anyway, when xfburn uses wodim, it works fine (at least
the last time I tried)

Cyclone is a compiler for a language close to the C language.  It adds
several feature to improve the safety on the C language.  Such features
include:

- pattern matching, 
- algebraic datatypes
- exceptions
- region-based memory management
- optional garbage collection.

One of cyclone aims is to produce programs that are more secure than C
programs by eliminating buffers overflows, double free bugs, dangling
pointers access, etc.

For Cyclone-l readers, this is a "Intent To Package" for the Debian
GNU/Linux distribution.  It is meant to say that there is somebody

I uploaded a new libburn which means we can get packages that compile
now.  However when I checked xfburn, it didn't actually work for me on a
simple "burn this ISO" test and seemed to be requiring wodim or cdrecord
(I forget which) for the actual work.

I do mean to find some more time to look at this again.  If you have had
a better experience then let us know.

I have no idea about its cross-plateform'ability (I would take it for

"At least"?  You have further improvements?  Sounds "3D racing game

Now that you mention it... allthough it is in theorie possible to play
this game without 3D acceleration, it is practically impossible.  How
does: "3D acceleration is required or this game will run quite slowly."
sound to you?

Sujet: [phpGroupWare-developers] Status of the Debian packaging of phpGroupware
Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 10:25:02 +0100

Hello.

You may have noticed that the phpGroupware packages have been removed
from the Debian distribution recently. That means that if the current
situation is lasting, they will not be present in the future stable
release of Debian.

That would obviously be bad for the phpGroupware project, as Debian is
one of the best "proxy" of the whole libre software environment : having
a package in Debian is probably critical to the success of any project.


This removal was the consequence of the non-responsiveness of the Debian
maintainer, if I get it right, mostly in case of security advisories
issued about phpGroupware or included "applications".
But being a Debian maintainer is volunteer work, so I won't blame the
maintainer, he must have better things to do, and that's common
situation in libre software.

So the situation now is to try and find if people are interested in
packaging phpGroupware for Debian, or not ?

If so, would they organize to work in a collaborative way to get things
done ?

Maybe there are technical options to discuss, for instance as to which
parts must be packaged, or not, etc.


I'm raising my concerns here as it seems that this has been discussed
privately only (between Dave, us, others in the project, some Debian
folks too), but I think that this should be discussed in the public if
possible, mainly to investigate options for collaborative maintainance
of the Debian packages (through the Debian forge alioth maybe ?).


We (the PicoForge team at Institut TELECOM, which was formerly known as
GET/INT, btw) have moderate interest in investing lots of resources and
effort in packaging the whole of phpGroupware. 
Still we have PicoForge packaging for Debian relying on phpGroupware
packages (at least the core, api, admin, etc. over MySQL, apache,
OpenLDAP only). Obviously we have some skills to help, but not a lot of
availability.
I've already filed a RFP (Request for Packaging) for Debian at :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=464014 that didn't
attract much interest (but Dave or Christian's ;), but that doesn't mean
no one cares.

We (mainly Christian, sorry to speak in his place) volunteer to do some
work, but we aren't sure we can test all possible options for installing
phpGroupware, so we may not do the full job of packaging the whole of it
for Debian for every combinations of DB of Web server, nor for all
phpGroupware applications.

Will others volunteer too ?

Can we hope to get some feedback from the former maintainer (Andrew
Mitchell) to help pass the knowledge to other volunteers (or still share
some of the effort) ?

I would understand that most phpGroupware developpers wouldn't care,
thinking that it's Debian stuff and they don't care about downstream
packaging... but it would be an error IMHO, as a project which isn't
packaged can't be appealing to any serious business (although packages
may not suit all situations, of course).
I hope that we can progress to a situation where efforts for such
packaging help also the project, for instance in isolating areas where
effort must be primarily put, issueing 0.9.18 (at last ! ? ;), improving
the dynamics of the project, and so on.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

P.S.: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=453467 has a
thread about the removal of the packages for the curious ones.

Bug#465660: ITP: extreme-tuxracer -- Arcade game featuring tux the penguin, snow ice and fishes

2008-02-14 Thread Alexander Schmehl

ppracer is upstream dead.  Extreme Tuxracer is a fork from a
beta-version of ppracer, which never made it stable.  So it is a
replacement, but since it seems to have quite higher hardware
requirements, I consider having both in Lenny and removing ppracer after
the Lenny release; (ppracer is in good shape and allthough unmaintained
upstream no security risc).

Positive aspect:  This branch of extreme tuxracer seems to use the same
format for courses as ppracer does, so planetpenguin-racer-extras might
be usable for extreme tuxracer as well.


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander

Source package names should always be lowercase.

This is not acceptable: it should be the _upstream_ version.

This is OK, but you need to make sure debian/copyright identifies what
is under what license.

A short sentence needs to be the first line, e.g. "motion picture
retouching and painting tool".

Comparisons against GIMP and Photoshop are probably a bad idea, since
this tool has a different purpose. The sentence, "These debs are built
using gtk2." has no real value and should be removed from the
description.

Additionally, your average Debian user is not going to care what films
it was used on.

This should be the _upstream_ version, not your debian package's
version.

This is OK, but make sure debian/copyright notes what is licensed under
which license.

This should be a description which describes cinebench exactly. It
should additionally be shorter than this.

Again, should be a description which describes cinebench only. Also, in
my opinion, it shouldn't read as a sales pitch.

Thanks for your work on it.  Could you please clarify whether it
is just an alternative to ppracer or whether it is a replacement?

Kind regards
