https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=898954

python-fibra is the extra dependency in bauble-1.0 since bauble-0.9.7

it is also the software I tried to package for Debian, and where I gave up.



Bug#903644: O: bauble -- biodiversity collection manager software application

2018-07-12 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the bauble package.

The package description is:
 Bauble is a software application to help you manage a collection of
 botanical specimens. It is intended to be used by botanic gardens,
 herbaria, arboreta, etc. to manage their collection information.
 It is a open, free, cross-platform alternative to BG-Base and
 similar software.

I have been in contact with the current maintainer, who wrote:
 You can take the maintainer responsibility of the package.  I neglected
 it to much. At beginning (for 1.0) it was because dependencies were
 not in Debian, but than it exited from my radar.  So feel free to be
 the maintainer.

I started by trying to package fibra, the new dependency of bauble 1.0,
and got lost in the fine details, so I give up packaging and go back
focusing on development.

thank you all,
MF



Bug#898736: ITP: python-fibra -- Fibra provides advanced cooperative concurrency using Python generators.

2018-05-15 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Mario Frasca <ma...@anche.no>

* Package name: python-fibra
  Version : 0.0.17
  Upstream Author : Simon Wittber <simonwitt...@gmail.com>
* URL : https://pypi.org/project/fibra/
* License : MIT
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Fibra provides advanced cooperative concurrency using 
Python generators.

"cooperative" concurrency, that's something like concurrency according to
Windows 95, if that's enough for you, cooperative concurrency prevents
such problems as closing a database object from within a Thread that
did not open it.

bauble 1.0.56 (I was just informally handled package ownership by
c...@debian.org) depends on this library, and I would not want to include
it in bauble, I'd rather make it an independent package.

I'm not aware of other modules that provide the same functionality,
and the version number (0.0.17) is more an indication of how fast
it was developed and how quickly it became mature.  I don't think it
will require any maintainance, but if upstream produces a new version,
I don't see any problem in staying tuned on the pypi page.



Bug#799535: Processed: retitle to RFP: bauble-installer -- bauble is a botanic collection manager

2017-01-02 Thread Mario Frasca
Hi here

I had almost forgotten about this issue, but I'm still and absolutely
very much busy with the software mentioned here.

my work concerning the software is mostly at
http://github.com/Ghini/ghini.desktop

if there's anything I should do to make the software more
debian-compliant, please let me know.

MF

Bug#799535: ITP: bauble-installer -- bauble is a botanic collection manager

2015-09-19 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: wnpp
Severity: whishlist

From the homepage (http://bauble.readthedocs.org):

  Bauble is an application for managing botanical specimen collections.
  With it you can create a searchable database of plant records.

  It is open and free and is released under the GNU Public License 2+.

From the README.md (http://github.com/Bauble/bauble.classic):

At its heart Bauble is a framework for creating database applications.
In its distributed form Bauble is an application to manage plant
records and specifically living collections. It is used among others
by the Quito Botanical Garden to manage their live collections.
Included by default is RBG Kew's Family and Genera list from Vascular
Plant Families and Genera compiled by R. K. Brummitt and published by
the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in 1992 used by permission from RBG Kew.

I am the current developer for Bauble and I have decided to distribute
Bauble connecting the installation with a branch on github.

I need to make the initial installation easier to less technical
people. to this end, I intend to package only the installation script,
not the whole program. this is because I have limited time and do not
trust myself for the extra work needed for packaging the program every
time I release a new patch, which is rather often (40 times in the
last 5 months).

I have written a very minimal and possibly working (only tested on
ubuntu 14.04) package for the installation script.


Package: bauble-installer
Version: 1.0-1
Section: base

Bug#529686: anybody?

2010-05-01 Thread Mario Frasca
we're almost one year later. I am running a modified version of this program 
which works fine.  I noticed that upstream 
(http://people.debian.org/~joss/packages/) does not exist any more.  would 
people at Debian prefer that I revive development of this program on 
Sourceforge or within Debian?  I'd like to join Debian (satisfied user since 
2004, home and office) and I'd like to maintain this package.

thanks, M

Ciao Sandro,

 I don't think this is the right approach: you have no rights to orphan
 the package you do not maintain.

I was in fact suspecting as much, but I did not see an alternative...
at least, now I know the way to follow, so thanks for the prompt reply.

 If you need such things, there is a team created ad-hoc for it:
 MIA team. please contact us before take other actions like this
 one. [...]

too bad: I alredy filed an other orphaning request...  that regarding
gnome-swallow-applet, but on that the maintainer more or less 'allowed'
me to do so...  and I was slow in reacting (I patched my own version of
the program and only use it on one machine).

 For such things (and for non-essential pacakges) 1 month is
 too short.

well, I agree that 1 month is too short, but since my email bounced back
as undeliverable, I don't think there are chances I will get a reply
later on :)  ...  but you're right: if I have an impression, I should
try to understand 'numerically' the reason of my impression so I can
share it with others so here it goes: 

* on the abcde package there are 11 'normal' bugs with a patch.  
  * to these 11 reports the maintainer replied with 2 emails (total, not each). 
 
  * one reply is timestamped 2004-07-05 (report was 2004-06-30), 
  * other reply is 2005-10-06 (report 2005-10-01).  
  * the earliest of the trailing 8 reports without maintainer's reply
is timestamped 2006-09-01.

* there are also 4 'important' bugs, one with patch.
  * did not count the replies, there are more here than for 'normal' bugs.
  * all reports without a patch have at least one reply by maintainer.
  * latest important reported bug: 2006-10-13. 
  * latest reply: 2006-10-14.

on the base of 'important' bugs I would _not_ conclude that the maintainer
is missing.

by the way: I see Jesús has an account on LinkedIn...  maybe we can
contact him this way...  I didn't try yet.

I have no experience with maintaining nor even packaging debian software,
but given the low level of interest on this package, I think I could
be able to use it to learn the rules and understand if I can take more
tasks on me.

The package description is:
 The swallow applet can eat any X11 window into the GNOME 2 panel.
 The application then displays inside the panel instead of being in a
 window.
 .
 Its primary goal is to allow use of dockapps with the GNOME desktop.

2009-05-20 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


I intend to orphan the abcde package.

probably one month ago I tried to contact Jesus Climent
jesus.clim...@hispalinux.es, currently registered as maintainer,
and did not manage.  did he stop following the package or is only his
address giving problems?

The package description is:
 A frontend program to cdparanoia, wget, cd-discid, id3, and your favorite
 Ogg/Vorbis, MP3, FLAC, Ogg/Speex and/or MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoder (defaults
 to oggenc). Grabs an entire CD and converts each track to the specified
 formats and then comments or ID3-tags each file, with one command.
 .
 With abcde you can encode several formats with one single command, using a
 single CD read operation. It also allows you to read and encode while not
 on the internet, and later query a CDDB server to tag your files.

Bug#529696: RFP: nonpareil -- nonpareil provides some 20+ classic HP calculators in graphical form

2009-05-20 Thread Mario Frasca
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist


I really like this software and the developer made a very nice job to
make it easy to compile and install.

it depends (at least) on:
scons libsdl1.2-dev flex bison

I might be able to take up maintainance of this package.

* Package name: nonpareil
  Version : 0.79
  Upstream Author : Eric Smith e...@brouhaha.com
* URL : http://nonpareil.brouhaha.com/
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: C, lex, yacc
  Description : nonpareil provides some 20+ classic HP calculators in 
graphical form

nonpareil is a hardware simulator for the classic line of HP calculators.
in combination with the actual microcode of the calculator, it achieves
a very high level of fidelity to the real calculators.  in most cases
the simulation behavior exactly matches that of the real calculator. In
particular, numerical results will be identical, because the simulator
is using the BCD arithmetic algorithms from the calculator.
