Bug#792075: ITP: git-lfs -- Git Large File Support. An open source Git extension for versioning large files
Hi Stephen! I'm excited to see this land in Debian. I'm curious if you know if there a free software backend that is compatible with the git-lfs protocol. If so, that'd be great to see in Debian as well one day. If not, if I understand Policy correctly, you would need to take care to set the package's section to contrib. See https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html for more information. (As I understand policy, if there *is* a git-lfs compatible backend that is free software, it's fine to have git-lfs in main, even if that backend isn't currently available in Debian.) Again, nice to see your enthusiasm, and I hope you can find a sponsor for this package.

Bug#777000: ITP: limereg -- Lightweight Image Registration. Commandline application for image registration (automatically aligning two images with similar content).
Hi Roelof! I'm excited you want to work on this. On Tuesday, February 3, 2015, Roelof Berg rb...@berg-solutions.de wrote: I developed this application as part of a scientific project. It offers 2D, grayscale, rigid image registration with a powerful derivative based approach and operates very fast and memory efficient (compared to traditional derivative-based aproaches). OpenCV is used to load and store the image data. The user can either output the registered image (image aligned/shifted/rotated upon another one) or it can output the numeric registration result (x-shift, y-shift and rotation). Awesome. I want to develop this application further and want to maintain the .deb package. Furthermore I will publish the functionality as a library in an additional lib.deb and lib- dev.deb package. When the lib.deb package has been released I want to add it to imagemagik. This would enable people to register images just by using imagemagik :) That'd be splendid. I'm not aware of any other package offering image registration (if at all) in this speed and quality. Our mathematical aproach (regarding speed and memory usage) is very new and it is extremely unlikely that any other package can offer it. We just published it in a scientific magazine. Preprint: http://www.embedded-software- architecture.com/Berg2014Highly_Preprint.pdf Applications: HDR-Photograpy, Industrial Imaging (compare an actual photography to a reference picture), Medical Imaging (align images from different times or sensors), motion detection/compensation, and many more ... I will put as much effort in the packaging as necessary. As I'm an experienced software developer (e.g. Embedded Linux) my skills will be sufficient. The effort is low as it is only a small command line tool (yet ;) and I can do it alone. However, I'm new to Open Source and to the packaging. Do I need a sponsor to get the package accepted ? Also a review from an experienced packager would be required as this is my first step into Open Source contribution. As always, in Debian, if you're not a Developer in Debian yet, you'll need a sponsor to get the package accepted. In many things, and in Debian packaging too, I recommend trying to get something working first, then good, then great. My bandwidth for mentorship on this might not be huge, but I hope you can find a sponsor and a reviewer. If you have trouble, send me an email. Happy hacking! Asheesh, aka paulproteus at debian.org.

Bug#625865: ocPortal Update
On Mon, 16 May 2011, Chris Warburton wrote: Just thought I'd give an update on my progress. So far the ocPortal codebase has been reviewed for copyright. Anything with unclear terms has been removed/replaced, leaving behind Free Software and a couple of proprietary third-party components (such as the JWPlayer flash video player). The proprietary components have been turned into optional modules, making them trivial to strip from the Debian package. Sweet. As well as this, the default ocPortal theme contains some non-DFSG-free artwork for the icons. I've made a replacement theme based on KDE's Oxygen icons which can be applied over the top of the default theme and replaces all of the non-free artwork[1]. It's not a complete theme, so there are still some default icons left which make the interface a little inconsistent, but at least they're all freely licensed. That's a reasonable place to be in for now. Make sure the tarball you plan to upload to Debian contains only dfsg-free pieces. Likewise sound effects for the audio CAPTCHA and chat rooms have been replaced with DFSG-free files (sourced from existing Debian packages, such as Asterisk). Great! I've been reading the policy guides (the core Debian policy, as well as the PHP, WebApp and Database policies) and am currently working out how to turn ocPortal's installer into a dbconfig-based debconf script. *nod* From messaging the WebApp mailing list[2] I've been told that one of the biggest concerns would be bundling software which is already included in Debian, which QA understandably frown upon. Unfortunately this impacts ocPortal, mainly since it uses a heavily modified version of CKEditor, a vanilla version of which is already packaged. Diffing between the two gives an unfathomable mountain of changes, so merging/patching them seems hopeless. I've tried symlinking to Debian's ckeditor package in place of this bundled version, and this doesn't cause any immediate problems in ocPortal, however our experience of having CKEditor integrated is that there are a load of edge-cases where it misbehaves; this is probably due to our particular usage of CKEditor, which converts the HTML it outputs into ocPortal's Comcode language. This makes me think that bundling the modified CKEditor would be preferable, despite its existence in the Debian archive. I would lean toward using the Debian-system CKEditor and maybe dealing with a few bugs in these edge cases, in the short term. In the long term, upstream, I wonder if you can switch to bundling an unmodified CKEditor and writing custom code to transform its *output* rather than modifying the editor itself. I wonder what you think of that. Thanks for this update! It's very helpful. -- -- Asheesh. http://asheesh.org/ Why is it that we rejoice at a birth and grieve at a funeral?

Adding more to that pile would be an unfortunate burden on the security team. That's probably the most significant of the project wide costs adding a package like this brings with it.

The security work that you've described sounds great, and I hope that other PHP app upstreams hold their apps to such a high standard.

Bug#310876: mdf2iso already packaged in Ubuntu Universe
A few months back, I filed the ITP Bug#310876 http://bugs.debian.org/310876. Just as I'm finally uploading this to mentors.debian.net and about to look for a sponsor, I discovered that Lukas Fittl had packaged this in Ubuntu Universe. Lukas, do you plan to upload it to Debian, too? If not, um, what should we do for Debian users? Thanks, all. -- Asheesh. -- Disobedience: The silver lining to the cloud of servitude. -- Ambrose Bierce -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#291694: Who's going to package bloat?
I was about to upload this to mentors.debian.net, but I remembered that Mohammed took my bug a few months back. May I take it back? Also, it seems David was the one who actually gave it to Mohammed. For what it's worth, I've been in contact with Sam Hocevar who has been working with upstream on maintaining their packages. Either way is fine, though I'd rather end up with the package; let know soon so I can decide what to do with this .diff.gz :-). -- Asheesh. -- With listening comes wisdom, with speaking repentance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#289168: Waiting for Xvidcap
I really would like to use this program, and it's even packaged. Why has it lingered on http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html for a year now? As a Debian user, I'd like to say it would be great if it were uploaded. I would like to use xvidcap to make video-based Debian documentation to help my friends enjoy Free Software. -- Asheesh. -- write-protect tab, n.: A small sticker created to cover the unsightly notch carelessly left by disk manufacturers.

Bug#316189: lomount will be included in Xen from now on
According to http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-changelog/2005-07/msg00172.html , Xen will bundle lomount in their releases. So this program should not be packaged from the www.dad-answers.com; instead, it should be taken from the Xen source tree where it's going to be updated. I suggest that the bug be reassigned to the Xen package; I'm CC:ing Xen's maintainer for that reason. I don't know if lomount comes with the Debian xen package, or if it should be included in some xen-utils package, or what. -- Asheesh. -- QOTD: I thought I saw a unicorn on the way over, but it was just a horse with one of the horns broken off. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
