Ouch! Yes, I saw the transition emails and the experimental package but did
not remember it when I sent the sponsoring request.
Thanks for bringing this to the table, we can wait until the time_t
transition is done.

Thanks Pierre.

Hi Jose Luis,

Hi all:

I have a couple of library transitions ready to review and upload and 
would need sponsoring to start the transitioning process:


Thanks for the work on these packages!



  - urdfdom https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/urdfdom 



In my opinion this package is ready to be transitioned. But do you know 
if the current dart can be built against urdfdom/4.0.0-1? because...


  - dart https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/dart 


    (salsa CI is over 3 hours)


... dart is currently involved in the 64 bit time_t transition. Have you 
seen that Version 6.12.1+dfsg4-13.1~exp1 has been uploaded to 
experimental? It will undergo a library transition so we should wait it 
is finished.




Thanks!


To summarize, we have to wait, concerning dart. I suggest we also wait 
before transitioning urdfdom as its transition will also affect dart, 
which is already embarked in a massive transition itself.


Best,

Bug#1063532: ITP: ford -- Fortran Documentation tool

[Alastair McKinstry]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Alastair McKinstry 
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, debian-science@lists.debian.org

* Package name: ford
  Version : 7.0.5
  Upstream Contact: Christopher MacMackin 
* URL : https://github.com/Fortran-FOSS-Programmers/ford
* License : GPL
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : Fortran Documentation tool

The goal of FORD is to be able to reliably produce documentation for modern
Fortran software which is informative and nice to look at. The documentation
should be easy to write and non-obtrusive within the code. While it will never
be as feature-rich as Doxygen, hopefully FORD will be able to provide a good
alternative for documenting Fortran projects.

Ford is already used (if present) by several projects packaged in Debian.

I intend to manage it in Salsa; perhaps in Debian-Science team.

Bug#1063517: ITP: adios4dolfinx -- ADIOS2Wrappers for DOLFINx

[Francesco Ballarin]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Francesco Ballarin 
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, debian-science@lists.debian.org, 
francesco.balla...@unicatt.it

* Package name: adios4dolfinx
  Version : 0.7.3
  Upstream Contact: Jørgen S. Dokken 
* URL : http://jsdokken.com/adios4dolfinx/
* License : MIT
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description : ADIOS2Wrappers for DOLFINx

adios4dolfinx is an extension for DOLFINx to checkpoint meshes, meshtags
and functions using ADIOS2.

The code uses the adios2 Python-wrappers to write DOLFINx objects to file,
supporting N-to-M (recoverable) and N-to-N (snapshot) checkpointing.

For scalability, the code uses MPI Neighbourhood collectives for communication
across processes.

The package will be maintained within the Debian Science team, in
collaboration with Drew Parsons.
