Bug#775436: ITP: xlennart -- An XBill fork but with Lennart and SystenD instead of Bill and Wingdows

fwiw I don't think Lennart Poettering personally would care very
much. He has a thick skin and has more than once poked fun at people for
poking fun at him.

I agree with other people in this thread that there really is no ethical
(or technical) difference between xbill and xlennart. Which is why I was
mildly shocked to learn that debain has xbill in it's archives. I never
seen it before to today, but I find it wildly inappropriate to attack
persons in that manner. The fact that Lennart has publicly criticized
the open source community for such ad hominem attacks [1] only
exacerbates things -- one would *think* that the open source community
take this post as an opportunity to prove him wrong.

I know that CoC-incantations are frowned upon, but I hope that this
goes at least against the spirit of having a CoC (even if maybe -- haven't
checked in detail -- not the wording). Which should be to treat people
openly and with respect.

I don't think Lennart personally would care, no, but I think *we* should
care to paint the Opensource community as better than this. From that
point of view, if there was a vote and I'd get a vote I would also vote
against having xbill in the archive as being a poor taste ad-hominem
attack (I mean, for crying out loud, there is an actualy blood-spatter
squashing animation in the game, even if it is a poor one). In my
opinion it is certainly not an argument to also let xlennart in.

Hi Dominique,

I think the open issues should be fixed now. Could you please have a
look and upload if appropriate?

Best,

Axel

2014-02-23 Thread Axel Wagner
Hi,

I'll hunt down proper licenses for these two files then.

>> • The ruby-pygments.rb thingy

This obviously wasn't really clear. I was refering to a comment in the
rejection notes about the name of the package (ruby-pygments.rb as
opposed to ruby-pygments). I agree with Gergely Nagy, that this is a
little bit puzzling, but warranted given that the gem is called that.

Best,

Axel

thanks, that is very kind. If I'm correct the way to move forward would
be addressing the issues raised in [1]? I will have a look at that
tomorrow then.

Best,

Axel

Bug#735295: Packaging

2014-01-25 Thread Axel Wagner
Hi Youhei,

I hope you forgive my youthfull indescretion, but after our mails I
simply assumed you appreciate the help and did the packaging. You should
find it at [1] (so, in the regular place). I also just went ahead and
sent an RFS to speed things up (after I verified that everything looks
in order).

Best,

Axel

Bug#735290: Initial packaging

2014-01-25 Thread Axel Wagner
Hi,

I have created some initial packaging at [1]. I created it with gem2deb
and encountered two issues:

• Upstream has a dependency on ruby-multi-json < 1.8. I think this is a
  stale dependency and reported it upstream (it builds and tests fine
  with 1.8.4)
• There appears to be an additional build-dependency on blankslate. I
  have not investigated this further yet.

Best,

Axel

Bug#703188: Any progress?

2014-01-24 Thread Axel Wagner
Hi,

there has been 5 months since the last activity on this bug and afaict
there has been no changes to the packaging either. Are there still
efforts of fixing the package behind the scenes? ruby-pygments.rb is a
dependency of the new upstream version of jekyll, so we would like to
see this happen. If there is anything I can do to speed this up, please
let me know.

Best,

Axel
