no, even if no one is working an packaging the sense of such open
reports is simply to show that there are some people that had an
interest in the past to package this software. And this is mostly
helpful for people who possible want to step in or need to find other
packages which might conflict with their packages or package name, like
here in your case.
Normaly RFPs are moving to an ITP and closed by a later upload.

The intention of patchwork is completely different to Salsa, GitHub,
GitLab and similar.
Patchwork a kind of standard in the development of the kernel sub
modules and a lot ob big IT company using this in their development like
IBM and Intel. So I don't see in detail a dedicated interest for the
Debian project itself and we package software mostly for users. I don't
know of any teams or maintainers which might use patchwork in their
workflow, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is already happen.

That's for sure true, but there are also downsides. Reviewing changes
isn't always easier (at least in my eyes) and need always a network
connection.

Given the age that patchwork now has (initial commit 2008 vs 2015 for
ssbc-patchwork) and the completely different use cases I personally
would hereby suggesting to choose a different source and binary name for
the patchwork software for Secure Scuttlebutt.

Why not use ssb-patchwork or ssbc-patchwork as name? I'd prefer the
former name.

Carsten

Bug#895584: ITP: ell -- Embedded Linux library

[Nobuhiro Iwamatsu]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Nobuhiro Iwamatsu 

* Package name: ell
  Version : 0.4
  Upstream Author : Intel Corporation
* URL : https://01.org/ell
* License : LGPL-2.1

  Description : Embedded Linux library

The Embedded Linux* Library (ELL) provides core, low-level
functionality for system daemons. It typically has no dependencies
other than the Linux kernel, C standard library, and libdl
(for dynamic linking). While ELL is designed to be efficient and
compact enough for use on embedded Linux platforms, it is not
limited to resource-constrained systems.

Could you ask upstream to submit their package to stackage, please?
That significantly reduces the Debian maintainance burden.

[Andreas Tille]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Andreas Tille 

* Package name: r-cran-geometry
  Version : 0.3-6-1
  Upstream Author : David C. Sterratt 
* URL : https://cran.r-project.org/package=geometry
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: GNU R
  Description : GNU R mesh generation and surface tesselation
 This GNU R package makes the qhull library (www.qhull.org)
 available in R, in a similar manner as in Octave and MATLAB. Qhull
 computes convex hulls, Delaunay triangulations, halfspace
 intersections about a point, Voronoi diagrams, furthest-site
 Delaunay triangulations, and furthest-site Voronoi diagrams. It
 runs in 2-d, 3-d, 4-d, and higher dimensions. It implements the
 Quickhull algorithm for computing the convex hull. Qhull does not
 support constrained Delaunay triangulations, or mesh generation of
 non-convex objects, but the package does include some R functions
 that allow for this. Currently the package only gives access to
 Delaunay triangulation and convex hull computation.

  Version : 1.5-8-1
  Upstream Author : Robin K. S. Hankin
* URL : https://cran.r-project.org/package=magic
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: GNU R
  Description : GNU R create and investigate magic squares
 A collection of efficient, vectorized algorithms for the
 creation and investigation of magic squares and hypercubes, including
 a variety of functions for the manipulation and analysis of
 arbitrarily dimensioned arrays.  The package includes methods for
 creating normal magic squares of any order greater than 2.  The
 ultimate intention is for the package to be a computerized embodiment
 all magic square knowledge, including direct numerical verification
 of properties of magic squares (such as recent results on the
 determinant of odd-ordered semimagic squares).  Some antimagic
 functionality is included.  The package also
 serves as a rebuttal to the often-heard comment "I thought R
 was just for statistics".

 Lightweight DataFrame and Series implementation inspired by the

 This GNU R package provides functions to perform
 reproducible parallel foreach loops, using independent
 random streams as generated by L'Ecuyer's combined

 It enables to easily convert standard %dopar% loops into
 fully reproducible loops, independently of the number
 of workers, the task scheduling strategy, or the chosen
 parallel environment and associated foreach backend.
