Bug#696448: ITP: lvtk -- LV2 C++ wrappers and utilities

2012-12-20 Thread Martin Eberhard Schauer

Hi Alessio!

 Description : LV2 C++ wrappers and utilities

  LV2 Toolkit is a set C++ wrappers around the LV2 C API.
  The included libraries ease writing LV2 plugins and UIs
  in C++ by inheriting from easy to use template classes.
  .
  LV2 is a portable plugin standard for audio systems,
  similar in scope to  LADSPA, VST, AU, and others.
  .
  This package provides the development headers.

I'm afraid there is a word missing in the first paragraph
( s/set/set of/). And the third paragraph should be used only
for lvtk-dev?

Cheers,
   Martin

2012-12-13 Thread Martin Eberhard Schauer

Dear Mathieu,

the short description exceeds 80 characters and there was a typo in the long
description. Please consider

manipulating
 SGML and XML Document Type Definitions (DTDs). DTDParse is designed 
primarily

 to aid in the understanding and documentation of DTDs.

* Package name : maxwell
   Version  : 1.2-1
   Upstream Author  : Sandy Harrissandyinch...@gmail.com
* URL  : ftp://ftp.cs.sjtu.edu.cn:990/sandy/maxwell/
* License  : GPL v2
   Programming Language : C
* Description  : entropy-gathering daemon

Daemon to gather entropy from a timer and feed it to random(4).

maxwell collects randomness from the small variations in a system
timer, distills it into a concentrated form, and sends it to random (4).

The amount of output varies with the parameters chosen, but is
generally a few K bits per second. The quality is intended to be very high.
Both volume and quality should be adequate for most applications.

There are a number of other ways to feed entropy to random (4).
The advantage of maxwell is that it is small, simple and only minimally
hardware-dependent. The other methods also have advantages, and in many
cases one of them will be preferable to this one.
   

Please consider an informal review of the package description on
debian-l10n-english as well.

To me the first paragraph is an incomplete sentence and its
information is contained in the second as well. How about

The maxwell daemon collects randomness from the small variations in a
system timer, distills it into a concentrated form, and sends it to
random(4).

And most of the last two paragraphs seems vague and trivial.

Both volume and quality should be adequate for most applications.

A typical use case would help.

The other methods also have advantages, and in many cases one of
them will be preferable to this one.

The advantages are trivial. The alternate methods are not mentioned.
What are the criteria?

And perhaps some words on why the name would not hurt. Some people
primarly think of electromagnetic fields when they hear/read Maxwell.

BTW: I strongly suggest s/random (4)/random(4)/ and appreciate the
hint to the manual page.


Martin

Bug#679406: ITP: web2ldap -- Full-featured web-based LDAPv3 client

2012-06-28 Thread Martin Eberhard Schauer

Hi Marc,

one more time it feels a little bit strange to me talking to a German
in English.

web2ldap is a generic LDAPv3 client which does not make any
assumptions about the tree structure or LDAP schema. It is therefore
ind of a swiss-army knife for accessing/manipulating LDAP servers
without having to configure anything.
   

I believe s/ind/kind/ was your intention.

The original sources must be repacked since they contain an ASN.1 parser
module with a non-free license. Web2ldap works without this parser, so
the module was simply removed.
   

I suggest s/must/had to be/ and skipping the paragraph. The
whole paragraph is very implementation-specific in my opinion.
Perhaps there is a better place for this kind of information?

Kind regards,
   Martin
