It merely uses files that are put in a certain directory that, that the admin has to create first. Does that mitigate your concerns? A problem, that I see with this, is that someone might already use /srv/local-apt-repository for something else. If that something is an apt repository (which is not unlikely with the given name) you might accidentally install files on your system, that weren't intended to be installed. I would expect that an admin would read the description of the package before installing it, and the description quite plainly tells him that this will happen. With a debconf question, the admin is confronted with the fact, that this directory will be read, before doing so. If you don't want to do the debconf stuff, I offer to do it, as I have to get to know maintainer scripts and debconf anyway. Thanks for the offer! If I have to do that, I’ll happily accept it.

Here is my rationale: Packages to be added to the repository fit the description of /srv quite perfectly. I quote. /srv : Data for services provided by this system Purpose /srv contains site-specific data which is served by this system. This main purpose of specifying this is so that users may find the location of the data files for particular service, and so that services which require a single tree for readonly data, writable data and scripts (such as cgi scripts) can be reasonably placed. Data that is only of interest to a specific user should go in that users' home directory. [..] So it is not wrong to use this directory. Also, all alternatives are wrong in some way as well. The only thing that I’m currently doing wrong is that I hard-code the path (“Therefore, no program should rely on a specific subdirectory structure of /srv existing or data necessarily being stored in /srv.”). If the package would make the path configurable, then it’d be in compliance with the FHS. Practically, I expect the intersection of those who want to use this package, and who need to have a different layout in /srv to be empty. So if I make the path configurable, it is adding complexity purely for policy compliance, and hence it is low priority for me. (My plan for doing that is to have the authorative path in the local -apt-repository.path sytemd unit, which the admin can override using usual systemd foo, and can be read from the repository creating script.)

We can always need more hands. Are you going to be at DebConf? What exactly do you need this package for? Is it mature for Debian? It says Stability experimental, but also hasn’t seen much actual development recently (but at least updates to the metadata, which is good). I've used it for a couple of personal projects, and have found it to work quite well. I've also got a couple of local patches that I am hoping to submit upstream - mostly tests. Do you think it’s worth having in Debian? I.e. will there people wanting to use it that rely primarily on Debian packaging (in contrast to using cabal-install anyways)?

I've no experience with Haskell and would be curious how much work it might be to package this cool and promising project for Debian? Regards, Thomas Koch the packaging of Haskell applications is usually no big deal, if the dependencies are available. The list is in the field Build-Depends in https://github.com/scrz/scrz/blob/master/scrz.cabal, and missing in Debian seems to be only friendly-time, which is another tiny haskell package that would ideally be part of something else, but if someone wants to maintain scrz in Debian, we’ll happily package and maintain libghc-friendly-time-dev. As for scrz itself I would not suggest the Haskell group to be the maintainer, as the Haskell aspect of maintaining the package is minor compared to the other issues (e.g. dpkg scripts, documentation, security, handling bug reports). But if someone steps up to maintain it, we’ll be here to help with the Haskell side and any problems related to it. In the current form I have some doubts that it is ready to be shipped in Debian. For example, the Build-Depends of scrz do not specify version ranges, which is expected from a polished haskell package. Also, it has not been uploaded to Hackage. All these are signs of a slight immaturity of the project (which can be misleading, of course), so I suggest a thorough evaluation before uploading it to Debian.

Bug#718018: ITP: haskell-swish -- semantic web toolkit
Hi, sorry, I have a hard time to follow what is happening here and what, if any, problems exist. Am Mittwoch, den 31.07.2013, 06:34 +0100 schrieb Philip Hands: Having just had a very frustrating conversation about this ITP with Jonas, it seems that he has only a passing familiarity with Haskell, did not bother to request packaging by the Debian Haskell Group (which to me as an outsider seems to be the natural home for such a package), and imagined that he was a member of DHG when he in fact is not (which seems bizarre, and a little worrying). I always have considered Jonas to be at least somewhat part of the Haskell group, by virtue of being the maintainer of pandoc, both a popular tool and an important Haskell library (judging from its position in the dependency graph). But indeed I don’t see him listed as a member of the pkg-haskell team; maybe we just did not talk about this enough. Jonas: How would you want your relation to the Haskell Group to be? Generelly, we (the DHG) would like to keep maintainer all Haskell packages, as a lot of talks involve _all_ Haskell libraries in the archive; coordination between different maintainers, and possibly even different packaging styles and releasing processes, would add a lot of unnecessary friction. So indeed someone should just tell us about the RFP (and how urgent it is) and we will react accordingly, as we have done in the past. On the other hand, he claims that it was always his intent to have the package team-maintained, Great, looks like things are in order. From first glance it seems that swish is non-trivial as it is both an executable, but also a library that is meant to be used by end-users (similar to xmonad and yi). Who of you now wants swish in Debian and can tell me more about how it ought to be presented to the user? I would also suggest that ftpmasters reject any haskell package uploaded by Jonas, at least until he bothers to have a reasonable discussion about the best way to proceed on the debian-haskell list. Sounds harsh; were you two at loggerheads? I could not find traces of your discussions, but generally I know that both of you can have reasonable discussions.

[dropping ftpmasters, was an invalid address anyways] Hi, Am Mittwoch, den 31.07.2013, 20:12 +0200 schrieb Jonas Smedegaard: Quoting Joachim Breitner (2013-07-31 19:03:47) Jonas: How would you want your relation to the Haskell Group to be? I consider myself a member of the Haskell Group. I believe I am subscribed to the mailinglist but not - as Phil has now pointed out to me - member of the Alioth team. Ok, fixed that, if only to avoid confusion. I see no need for that Alioth membership, as I feel fine using collab-maint for the packages I am involved with - pandoc and now also haskell-swish and its dependency haskell-intern. The reason I favor collab-maint is to make it as easy as possible for other DDs to contribute. It is my understanding that the Haskell Group is fine with this, but if not then I am ok moving the package to pkg-haskell (and then obviously would need to be part of that group to be able to continue my work on those packages). While I’m fine with Haskell packages having their repository elsewhere, this is under the assumption that the maintainers are willing to apply the mass-changes that we do across all darcs-maintained packages to their packages in a timely manner, which has worked ok so far. OTOH, especially for pure Haskell library packages (e.g. intern) I don’t see the advantage in not having them where all the other packages live. The extra work that maintaining one more package within our usual infrastructure causes is, by now, less than having to remember if and where other packages live. So take this as an invitation to put the new packages to the other Haskell packages, or alternatively just tell us what you want packaged (as we do it with the pandoc dependencies). As I also told Phil, my interest is in the Swish executable. Similar to Pandoc I have made separate binary packages for the libraries and the executable, as I would expect users of the library to be comfortable with having it provided same way as all other Haskell libraries - please do correct me if that assumption is wrong. The pandoc program is useful on its own. From reading the Swish websites it seems that it is more of a toolkit where you write „scripts“ in Haskell. If that is the case then the swish executable is not very useful on its own, and should live with or depend on libghc-swish-dev. But I could not find enough information to be sure about this.

Hi, today I was thinking about implementing a similar tool, and uploading it to Debian. I’d done a few things differently: * I’d simply process all certificates found in /etc, i.e. every file called .pem or .crt that seems to be a SSL certificate. This way, certs used by mail and jabber servers are also found. * I’d send a report only if any cert is about to expire, but in that case, send one mail containing every cert that is about to expire; likely several certs expire together. And just for good measure, the report would include the times to expiration for all found certs, to give the admin a better overview of what certs are there (and what certs are found). * I’d include a nagios-check-compatible invocation as well. * I’d not run a daily check for things that expire in a month; weekly sounds more useful here.

It includes a tool to generate a trace of all the OpenGL calls an applicaton makes and a tool for replaying these traces and inspecting the rendering and OpenGL state during the program's execution. . This makes it useful for identifying the sources of graphical corruption in OpenGL applications. sounds very interesting. But I wonder if the name could be a bit more specific, like opengl-trace or graphics-api-trace, as it does not seem to trace arbitrary APIs.

Bug#511325: haskell-hxt?
Dear Takakai, the haskell-hxt ITP[1] is owned by you. It seems you uploaded a package once, but it did not pass through NEW. Why is that so? We really should have haskell-hxt in Debian. Some source files in highlighting-kate are generated by a program requiring haskell-hxt, therefore we are actually violating the DFSG by not having haskell-hxt around.

The program packages just don’t benefit that much from the group infrastructure and processes. So my bottom line would be: Packaging for Haskell-written programs is _welcome_ in the group if it’s convenient (e.g. because the maintainer needs sponsoring, or the package is part of a larger set that includes libraries anyways), but I don’t see the need to actively advocate it. Also, having lots of packages in the pool that need special handling (like programs where you have to worry about stuff like desktop files and whatnot) might dilute the groups’ efficiency.

Hi, today, I continued to work on the serna package. The achievements are: (Patch names respective to http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=tree;f=debian/patches;hb=bbeea2bed0403ae5077d995423552ed402a63f35 later revisions might carry updated patches, but then the patch numbers might change) I re-did the patches that are about architecture independence. I splitted them by issue, so that each bit can either be merged into your SVN trunk completely or not. I’ll walk you through: 0002-Template-function-overlap.patch hmm, can probably be dropped now. I’ll check. 0003-Atomic-increment-decrement-defined-for-amd64.patch please merge. Atomic increment/decrement is defined for amd64 0007-Use-void-when-debug-outputting-a-pointer.patch Some casts to (int) are used in output strings. Using (intptr_t) is always correct and yields the same behaviour. 0009-libsp-adjustments-for-64-bits.patch Makes the instances independent of size_t, but makes sure there is one for int and long int. Can be merged. 0020-Cast-via-intptr_t-in-refCntData-new.patch This needs review. I don’t really understand what 18 -const size_type buf_offset((size_type)((RefCntData*)1)-buf_ - 1); was supposed to do (get a pointer to the 1? but where is the one?) Anyways, 19 +const size_type buf_offset((size_type)(intptr_t)((RefCntData*)1)-buf_ - 1); seems to work better... 0021-Cast-to-intptr_t-in-Dav-DavManager-lock-calls.patch The code uses the pointer address of the object to generate a unique id as an it. Casting via intptr_t works always. Can be merged. 0022-Cast-to-intptr_t-in-String-number-calls.patch Same thing when casting to provide an argument to String::number: intptr_t is the correct type to use. Can be merged. 0023-Cast-to-intptr_t-in-xslt-impl-Instance.cxx.patch This changes part of the debugging output. Prevoius code did a check ((int)nsiContext().node() 0x100) to see whether the node name is valid. This looks fishy and non-portable. Casting to (intptr_t) works, not sure if it’s still the intended purpose. 0024-Cast-to-intptr_t-in-PackedPtrSet.h.patch Here, the last bit of a pointer is checked. Casting to (intptr_t) is again the correct thing to do. Can be merged. 0025-Remove-__int__-method-from-SimpleWrappedObject.patch Now this is somewhat intrusive: I did not immediately figure out how to implement the __int__ method correctly. But I expect that any use of it is a mistake anyhow, so I just removed it. Where is it used? 0026-Cast-to-long-int-in-pyplugin-stuff.patch I’ll remove this, it’s overwritten by a later patch (28). Please ignore 0027-Implement-PropertyNode-set-get-Ptr-and-String-toPtr.patch As the name says. Some code stores functions pointers in properties, this interface allows this without casts to integers. Can be merged. 0028-Use-set-getPtr-in-pyconsole-code.patch Use the just added functions. Can be merged. I’d obviously like to reduce the number of patches I have to drag along, so please check if you can apply these to SVN. I also made the serna package build and run without its own copy of docbook-xsl. It uses the installed package in /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/docbook-xsl. I started by adding proper code to 3rd/docbook/docbook-default.t in patch 0029-Allow-using-the-system-wide-docbook-xsl-installation.patch, but the path to the docbook-xsl files was still hardcoded in too many places; see patch 0033-Refer-to-usr-share-xml-docbook-stylesheet-docbook-xs.patch I made serna use xsltproc from the path in patches 0030-Use-system-wide-xsltproc-in-scripts.patch 0031-Use-system-wide-xsltproc-in-publishing-plugin.patch These patches can obviously not be merged. But it would be great if you could make them obsolete: If I run ./configure syspkg in 3rd, serna should always use the system wide xsltproc. Generally, I can not stress enough that reducing the number of patches I need to carry is a great way to ease my work :-) I’m considering to propose the package for inclusion in the current state, and see what the ftp-masters want me to fix.

Hi Andrew, Am Montag, den 11.01.2010, 15:22 +0300 schrieb Andrew Sichevoi: What steps are required to push your debianized Serna package to the Debian upstream (to Debian Sid) ? first of all, it has to properly build on i386 _and_ amd64. I think I spotted all positions where the compiler complained when assuming that a pointer size is 32, but I only changed it to 64, so this is not a proper solution. Then, for FTP-Master to pass the package, we have to reduce any unnecessary 3rd party software in it. See my message about antlr from November: Debian already ships antlr, but in a newer version. It would be great if serna could use this version out of the box. Ideally, dita-ot and qtpropertybrowser would be packaged separately and on their own, but I hope that this is no show-stopper for the inclusion in Debian. Also, docbook-xsl is provided in Debian. I did not try yet to use that package instead of the one in 3rd/. Is the patch 3rd/docbook/1.68.1/_patches/patch-docbook.xsl really required? We already talked about the copy of jade/libsp. I think that we can do with the patched source code included for now. The files serna/core/qt/qtsingleapp/qtsingleapplication*.cpp only contain a header that Licensees holding a Qt Solutions License Agreement may use the code, the GPL header is missing. This should be fixed, as otherwise it’s not clear that Serna is really under the GPL. And of course the Debian package need work (dependencies, installing required stuff). At the moment it complains multiple times at startup about a missing doctemplate.dtd or doctemplate2.dtd file. Any idea? Besides that, I’m quite happy with serna: Once it compiled, it seemed to work nicely, so segfaults etc., which is not always the case with just-freed-commercial-applications.

Bug#535828: Debian Packaging advancements
[CC’ing debian-devel because this is partly a call for contributions :-] Hi, today, I continued in my quest to make a proper Debian package out of Serna. For now, I ignored the issue of the convenience code copies in the source code and focused on getting a properly buildable package. The four really required 3rd party tarballs are shipped in debian/3rd. http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=summary contains the current state. I started to use git-dpm[1] for packaging. This means that my changes against the upstream (which is SVN trunk, revision 139) is stored in debian/patches: http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=tree;f=debian/patches;hb=refs/heads/master Some of those can probably applied to the SVN directory directly, such as 0017-Working-exports.lst-even-if-list-is-empty.patch. The others should be reviewd and improved – I’m not an experienced C++ hacker. Especially the 64bit stuff is just a hack and needs to made working generally. The debian packages does not have build-dependencies yet. If someone wants to help assemble the correct set of packages (using pbuilder and trial’n’error, that would be appreciated). The serna binary is installed into /usr/bin/, the rest is put in /usr/lib/serna. The binary is compiled with rpath so that the bundles libs can be put in /usr/lib/serna/lib. I tried hard to make serna accept this, but the patch that I try to use does not seem to be sufficient. Any comments welcome: http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/0020-Hardcode-usr-lib-serna-as-DataDir.patch;hb=HEAD I also started to work on the debian/copyright file, which is naturally a large beast. Again, help is appreciated: http://git.nomeata.de/?p=serna.git;a=blob;f=debian/copyright;hb=HEAD All in all I thought would have gotten further in one whole day, and motivation is fading again. Contributions by others are a good way to increase motivation again :-).

Bug#561688: ITP: turbotail -- drop-in replacement for tail, using FAM for following files
Hi, Am Samstag, den 19.12.2009, 17:24 +0100 schrieb Christian Dietrich: Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Christian Dietrich stettber...@dokucode.de * Package name: turbotail Version : 0.3 Upstream Author : Folkert van Heusden folk...@vanheusden.com * URL : http://www.vanheusden.com/turbotail/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : drop-in replacement for tail, using FAM for following files turbotail provides almost all command line options as the normal tail from coreutils, but when following files with -f, it doesn't poll the file every second, but uses FAM to get informed about changes at the file. what advantage does turbotail provide over inotail, which is in Debian: “inotail is a replacement for the 'tail' program found in the base installation of every Linux/UNIX system. It makes use of the inotify infrastructure in recent versions of the Linux kernel to speed up tailing files in the follow mode (the '-f' option). Standard tail polls the file every second by default while inotail listens to special events sent by the kernel through the inotify API to determine whether a file needs to be reread.” Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim nomeata Breitner Debian Developer nome...@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nome...@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil

Bug#535828: Jade changed
Hi Neil, Hi Paul, Am Dienstag, den 10.11.2009, 20:21 -0500 schrieb Neil Roeth: Thanks for bringing me into this. The original Jade package was forked and made into two separate packages, OpenJade and OpenSP. This was done outside of Debian, but both are also in Debian and also maintained by me. So, we should use OpenSP. I am planning to remove Jade from Debian when I get around to it, AFAIK, there is nothing it does that OpenJade and OpenSP cannot do. thanks. Do you have any estimate as to when this will happen? E.g., should I look into packaging Serna against the current Jade in Debian (possibly with a patched Jade inside), once the other issues with Serna are resolved, or do you think you’ll get around to do with within the next weeks, and Serna should concentrate on being buildable against OpenSP? @Paul: I guess your modifications best go to this list https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openjade-devel (which is discouraging inactive, according to the archive). Have you tried contacting them before?

Bug#535828: Started to work on Serna
Hi, I’ve started to look at the Serna code. At the moment, I’m trying to get it compile on Debian sid / amd64, and I’m posting my experiences on http://forum.syntext.com/syntext-serna-xml-editor/serna-open-source-discussion/313-debian-packaging-experience.html Not sure if I’ll be able to actually finish this, but I’m trying, Joachim -- Joachim nomeata Breitner Debian Developer nome...@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nome...@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil
