[karthek]

Sorry for spamming…
Resending the same message, I just remembered debian.org ignores mails
from mail@* addresses.

Indeed.

Thanks Stefano, I packaged it almost 2 years ago while working on
Android Open-source project (AOSP). While I got response from upstream,
I Haven't got any response from debian community back then apart from
interest in it from Julian a year ago.

Since then I also didn't find any DD nearyby my city to sign my key.

I'm happy to work on the packaging…

I can help. But chromium builds(default config) are taking more than an hour in 
my
machine. I tried helping but got no response last year during the time
Michael Gilbert took a holiday from uploads.

I think i can help with small things here and there.

Bug#979135: No dont do this

[karthek]

Package: chromium
Version: 87.0.4280.88-0.4
Followup-For: Bug #979135
X-Debbugs-Cc: frustra...@karthek.com

Hey,

Making desktopgl default seems like a good idea at first(even for me).
But in practical I cant even run chromium without ANGLE for even a few
minutes, it just segfaults with a bunch of errors and no corefile.
I dont no if im the only one facing issues with desktopgl but its a
matter of adding "--use-gl=desktop" to /etc/chromium.d/default-flags.

But the source shouldnt be patched to do this.For now just leave ANGLE
as default gl even though it had issues with optimus systems like mine.

Cuz it just works.

Bug#977870: Failed to load /usr/lib/chromium/libGLESv2.so

Package: chromium
Version: 87.0.4280.88-0.3
Followup-For: Bug #977870
X-Debbugs-Cc: frustra...@karthek.com

hey,

At present hwaccel-videodecode is broken.
--enable-accelerated-video-decode makes chromium to enable it and it
shows up in chrome://gpu but,

when you actually try to play a video(like from youtube), the
mojovideodecoder fails to initialize and it will fallback to
swdecoder(ffmpeg,vpx,dav1...).

You can see it at chrome://media-internals and also by observing STDERR.

I can also confirm this by looking at `intel_gpu_top` utility's screen

Bug#978472: ITP: b3sum -- Command line tool for the BLAKE3 hash

[karthek]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

  Description : Command line tool for the BLAKE3 hash

BLAKE3 is a cryptographic hash function that is much faster than MD5,
SHA-1, SHA-2, SHA-3, and BLAKE2 and

Bug#977870: ANGLE issue

[karthek]

Well,we can report upstream as this issue also affects windows optimus
systems but,
google-chrome developers are aware of linux's myriad configurations and to
address this they bundle swiftshader.
And it just works for them.

For now we can make it work by adding --use-gl=desktop to
/etc/chromium.d/default-flags file without changing buildsystem config.

 I mean it works with optimus systems but you'll get into trouble when
invoke it to use different gpu than desktop environment is currently using
without --use-gl=desktop.

Bug#978149: ITP: pyenv -- Simple Python version management

[karthek]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: karthek 
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, m...@karthek.com

* Package name: pyenv
  Version : 1.2.21
  Upstream Author : 2013 Yamashita, Yuu
* URL : https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv
* License : Expat
  Programming Lang: shell script
  Description : Simple Python version management

 pyenv lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python. It's 
 simple, unobtrusive, and follows the UNIX tradition of single-purpose 
 tools that do one thing well.
 pyenv does:
* Let you change the global Python version on a per-user basis.
* Provide support for per-project Python versions.
* Allow you to override the Python version with an environment
* variable.
* Search commands from multiple versions of Python at a
  time. This may be helpful to test across Python versions with tox.

It is useful when youre working on a project where they expect you to
work in a LTS version of some distro (like Ubuntu LTS) and they dont
bother mainataining aompatibility with newer python versions.

I plan to mantain it and need a sponsor

 This is becoz chromium seems to got build with ANGLE support but ANGLE
 libs are not bundled with package so.
   Invoke chromium as .
 chromium --use-gl=desktop
   
And the maintainer should not build with ANGLE as it
doesnt work well with optimus systems and if it has to then buldle
ANGLE.
