[RFS] blitz++ 1:1.0.2+ds-3

2022-07-20 Thread Philip Rinn

Hi,

my main goal was to make blitz++ reproducible - unfortunately that's not 
(easily) possible at the moment, as texi2pdf introduces the absolute 
path of included files into the resulting pdf :-/

Anyway, I guess it's good to get blitz++ in a better shape:

blitz++ (1:1.0.2+ds-3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Team upload
  * debian/control:
- debhelper, bump to 13
- Standards Version, bump to 4.6.1 (no change)
- Mark libblitz0v5 and libblitz0-dev as 'Multi-Arch: same'
- Mark libblitz-doc as 'Multi-Arch: foreign'
- Add 'Rules-Requires-Root: no'
  * Remove unused debian/source/include-binaries
  * Make bzconfig.h reproducible:
- Remove -{file|debug}-prefix-map from BZ__compiler_options
- Add patch to use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in BZ__config_date (Closes: 
#977001)

  - Thanks Vagrant Cascadian for the patch
- Add patch to use DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH as BZ__os_name (Closes: ##977003)
  - Thanks Vagrant Cascadian for the patch

it was politer to do it via a MR:

Could anyone of you please review and sponsor?

Uh, I'm confused. Taking ownership of the ITP is what you said you'd do if I

(see just some lines above). Anyway, shiny-server-client[1] is ready for upload

To avoid misinterpretation, shinyproxy is Open Source, not just free-as-in-beer:

But it's true, there are more alternatives to shiny-server than just shinyproxy
which might be a little complex for smaller deployments.

State of shiny-server packaging

2018-09-16 Thread Philip Rinn
Hi,

the packaging effort for shiny-server stalled some month ago. I totally lost
interest in packaging it as I now use shinyproxy[1] at $work.

As we are heading towards the freeze, I think it's time to discuss how to 
proceed.
Getting shiny-server into Debian is still a lot of work, see [2]. Actually only
one out of 13 nodejs packages that need to be packaged hit the archive.

Is anyone willing to step in and finish the work? Andreas, are you still 
interested?

If no one steps in until end of October I'll file a RM bug for node-pinkyswear 
and
close the ITP/RFP bugs that are listed in [2].

Thanks for uploading!
I did some bug triage meanwhile and could get the bug count down to 5 resp. 4 on
Debian/Ubuntu. Unfortunately upstream only offers a mail contact (or am I 
missing
something?) which makes forwarding bugs a little annoying.

Regarding pdfium I think it should be coordinated with all packages embedding
pdfium at the moment which are at least chromium-browser, firefox,
qtwebengine-opensource-src and texmaker. Packaging it separately seems to be the
best solution to me.

to be honest, I'm not interested to be Uploader for all those node.js packages.

I'd propose to file RFP bugs for

- node-client-sessions
- node-http-proxy
- node-morgan
- node-pause
- node-rewire
- node-sockjs
- node-stable

as they seem to be more widely used and I hope others will do the packaging.


This would leave us with these three funny, 3 - 100 LoC, node.js modules

- node-bash -> https://github.com/felixge/node-bash
- node-regexp-quote -> https://github.com/dbrock/node-regexp-quote
- node-unixgroups -> https://github.com/rstudio/node-unixgroups

So, filing RFP bugs would help much, I'll take care of the three node.js 
modules left.

For me it's OK. I tried to stick to the Node.js packaging template to make it
easier for Noe.js people to review it. As this package will stay in science-team
anyway I think using the cme file layout is fine.

I packaged node-shiny-server-client (see ITP:

I'll send a RFS after all it's dependencies are in unstable.

My interpretation is that the license covers all files accessible from the URLs

One would need to check if any of those files is included in the source tree. If

are you sure? grep'ing the source code for those packages ('broom', ... of

only shows 'rmarkdown' occurring in the source.

I only see shiny, ggplot2, reshape2, devtools and rmarkdown being used when
grep'ing for 'library(', 'require(' and 'install.package'

RFS: r-cran-scatterplot3d

2010-01-24 Thread Philip Rinn
Dear debian-science subscribers,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package scatterplot3d.

* Package name: scatterplot3d
  Version : 0.3-30-1
  Upstream Author : Uwe Ligges
* URL : http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/scatterplot3d/
* License : GPL-2
  Section : gnu-r

Scatterplot3d is an GNU R package for the visualization of multivariate data in
a three dimensional space. Basically scatterplot3d generates a scatter plot in
the 3D space using a parallel projection. Higher dimensions (fourth, fifth, 
etc.)
of the data can be visualized to some extent using, e.g. different colors,
symbol types or symbol sizes.


It builds the binary packages r-cran-scatterplot3d. I renamed it to fit the
pattern of CRAN packages for R in Debian.

The package appears to be lintian clean and it would fix bug #565682.
It can be found on mentors.debian.net:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/scatterplot3d

I'd be glad if someone could upload this package for me, as it would supplement
the collection of CRAN packages in Debian especially for 3D plotting.

Kind regards
 Philip Rinn

 Building CRAN packages is trivial, it usually takes me about five minutes max
 per package.  
 
 Yet I am not convinced that is what we want to sponsor more as some folks who
 have sponsored / packaged / uploaded are not keeping up with the new versions
 at CRAN (I think that holds for matchit, pscl, sp, vgam, zelig per [1] and
 other pages). I try to keep up with mine, and it really is not a large
 effort.  Yet someone has to make it for the sponsored / team-managed packages
 too. 

I'm not sure if I got your point. Should I just have filed an RFP bug because
maintaining CRAN packages is so easy and it's not worth getting new people
involved? Or do you think we shouldn't have random CRAN packages in Debian?

 Are you aware of http://debian.cran.r-project.org which gets you 2000+ CRAN
 packages as deb files for testing on i386 and amd64 ?  That is an automated
 process not suitable for injection into Debian proper, but one that could be
 extended to other arches etc given suitable hardware donations.

Nice to know. I wasn't aware of it, but I have ppc at work.
