Bug#206536: Any news?

2007-06-11 Thread Charles Fry

Note that the bug is owned by Chris Seufert, who is currently the one
working on this. I suspect that given the current state of the package he'd
be willing to accept contributions if you're interested in helping out. If
you don't hear back from him (after a reasonable amount of time) you can
assign this bug to yourself, if you're interested.

Bug#374256: watch out for Java naming policy

2006-07-11 Thread Charles Fry
When packaging this, please be aware of the Java policy, section 2.4:

   Java libraries packages must be named libXXX[version]-java (without
   the brackets), where the version part is optional and should  only
   contain the necessary part. The version part should only be used to
   avoid naming collisions. The XXX part is the actual package name used
   in the text below.

   Their classes must be in jar archive(s) in the directory
   /usr/share/java, with the name
   packagename[-extraname]-fullversion.jar. The extraname is optional
   and used internally within the package to separate the different jars
   provided by the package. The fullversion is the version of that jar
   file. In some cases that is not the same as the package version.

   http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/x105.html

In other words, the package you create should be named libjavasvn-java.

Bug#345903: license issues

2006-07-10 Thread Charles Fry
retitle 345903 RFP: sharpmusique -- The fair interface to the iTunes Music Store
owner 345903 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
thanks

Well, after having prepared a package based on Christian Marillat's
unofficial package, I started looking at ways for sharpmusique to depend
on other packages that provided the vlc and faad2 dependencies which
sharpmusique currently deals with by the inclusion of upstream code in
the package source.

This led me to the vlc Debian package, and on to bug #324978 which
documents some license issues with faad2, that effect not only vlc but
also sharpmusique inasmuch as it also duplicates the faad2 code.

Once the licensing issue with faad2 (and with any of the vlc code that
sharpmusique needs) is dealt with then work could move forward packaging
sharpmusique.

Bug#368542: holdup

2006-07-05 Thread Charles Fry
This package is currently being held up by the hep.aida package which is
included with the source code. The source files don't contain any
licensing information, and the colt package documentation claims an LGPL
with a military prohibition (non-free). However an analysis of the
upstream CVS repository:

   http://aida.freehep.org/source_code.thtml

reveals that the first CVS version of hep.aida that included licensing
information at the top of each source file was created on 2002/10/04.
The version included in colt is from 2000/03/23, and is not even in the
CVS repository.

I am currently exploring options for dealing with this with the upstream
author. However as active mainenance ceased years ago, it may be
necessary to manually update the package to work with the 2002/10/04
release of hep.aida. I have not yet evaluated the complexity of such a
task.

Bug#244693: RFS: courierpassd

2006-06-12 Thread Charles Fry
Can I ask again if anyone is interested in checking and sponsoring
courierpassd?

thanks,
Charles

-Original Message-
 From: Charles Fry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 Subject: Re: RFS: courierpassd
 Date: Sat, 27 May 2006 00:57:58 -0400
 To: debian-mentors@lists.debian.org
 
courierpassd is a utility for changing a user's password from across a
network. It uses the same protocol as poppassd to obtain user IDs and
passwords. This can be used, for example, to allow users to change
their passwords from within various webmail programs.
   
  Are you aware that there is at least already one package that does this?
 Specifically, poppassd, which can be combined with poppass-cgi to
  enable changing the password via the web.  Your efforts might be better
  spent contributing to those.
 
 My fault for copying the paragraph from the webpage focusing on
 courierpassd, and skipping some important introductory information that
 also applied to other similar tools (courierpasswd and courieruserinfo).
 Here is an updated long description, which hopefully underlines the
 difference between courierpassd and poppassd:
 
  Courierpassd works with the Courier mail server user authentication
  mechanism to allow changing a user's password from across a network. It
  uses the same protocol as poppassd to obtain user IDs and passwords.
  This can be used, for example, to allow users to change their passwords
  from within various webmail programs.
  .
   Homepage: http://www.arda.homeunix.net/store/
 
 Said in another way, this package is meant to work with courier-authlib,
 which may manage passwords in a way that is inaccesible to poppassd.
 
 I apologize for the confusion which ensued from my lack of a proper
 introduction of the package.

2006-05-23 Thread Charles Fry
Racke,

Thanks for getting those libraries into unstable. :-) I appreciate your
hard work for courier.

I have now been able to complete a Debian package of courierpassd.
Unfortunately, I am still waiting for the Front Desk to approve my
application, so I need to find a sponsor for the package. I'd be glad to
ask someone else, but due to your work with courier I thought that you
might be a good fit. Would you be interested in sponsoring courierpassd,
until my application goes through?

If you're interested, you can find the package at:

   http://debian.frogcircus.org/packages/

I already have a question (that I'm glad to take elsewhere if you lack
the time to help) about the linda warning I'm getting:

   W: courierpassd; Binary /usr/sbin/courierpassd compiled with an RPATH
   of /usr/lib/courier-authlib.
   W: courierpassd; A binary links against a library it does not use
   symbols from

If you know what needs to be done to fix this, I'd love some help.

Thanks again for your work with courier, and for making the authlib
packages available.

Bug#330239: ITP: hibernate -- a powerful, ultra-high performance object/relational persistence and query service for Java

2005-09-26 Thread Charles Fry
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Charles Fry [EMAIL PROTECTED]


* Package name: hibernate
  Version : 3.0.5
  Upstream Author : hibernate-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
* URL : http://www.hibernate.org/
* License : LGPL
  Description : a object/relational persistence and query service for Java

Hibernate lets you develop persistent classes following common Java
idiom - including association, inheritance, polymorphism, composition,
and the Java collections framework. Hibernate allows you to express
queries in its own portable SQL extension (HQL), as well as in native
SQL, or with Java-based Criteria and Example objects.

thanks

 I have been working on the dependencies for Hibernate for a few
 months now, and have not yet filed the ITP.  Please contact me, I am
 part of the pkg-java-maintainers team.

Well, then you should definitely take ownership of this ITP, as I
haven't even started looking at the package. I just wanted to be sure
that it made it into Debian, but if you've already started the work, by
all means, make it happen. :-)

Bug#276096: eclipse ready for unstable?

2005-09-15 Thread Charles Fry
 The plans are to wait for libtomcat5-java and liblucene-java to be in
 unstable/main. libtomcat5-java should be there tomorrow. liblucene-java
 can take a while as we need to fix some rmic issues first to be able to
 build it with a completely free toolchain.
 
 When this is sorted out and no bigger problems are known with the debs
 we will upload it directly into the archive.

As far as I can tell, these criteria have all been met.

Any chance of seeing 3.1 in unstable now?

cheers,
Charles

Bug#326779: fixed in wmfire 1.2.1-6

2005-09-11 Thread Charles Fry
   In the future, please try to find out if your package is part of some
   transition, in order not to interfere with it. The Release Team is
   also aware this information is not very easily accessible, and will
   think of ways of improving the situation.

First of all, I apologize for complicating this matter with my upload. I
will be more careful to check for this before uploading newly adopted
packages.

I am sure that this idea has been discussed before, but it seems to me
that it would be fairly straightforward to implement a mechanism whereby
all packages involved in transitions could be explicitely marked as
frozen in unstable, preventing new uploads from succeeding before the
transition was complete.

I absolutely agree that a certain amount of diligence should be required
from all developers, but it also seems that technical solutions should
also be put in place insasmuch as possible. (Maybe I simply
under-estimate the difficulty of this proposition, being entirely
unfamiliar with the current infrastructure.)

cheers,
Charles

 Hallo all,
 
 
 after a long time I got around to do some hacking on the Eclipse 3.1 packages
 for Debian. I uploaded them and they can be fetched with the following lines
 in your sources.list:
 
 deb http://www.backports.org/~mkoch/unstable/ ./
 deb-src http://www.backports.org/~mkoch/unstable/ ./
 
 The binary packages are built against the new ant and cairo packages. The
 internal help system of Eclipse doesn't work yet as this needs libtomcat5-java
 which is not in unstable at the time of this writing.
 
 This revision is the first that provides precompiled native jars for GCJ 4.0.
 Its the begginning to make Eclipse a fully integrated IDE using a completly
 free toolchain. Kaffe and other free runtimes and proprietary runtimes are
 supported too.
 
 Please the packages and report back all issues you find back to me.
 Don't write bug reports for the Debian BTS.
 
 Have fun with the new packages.
 
 
 Greetings,
 
 Michael

2005-07-14 Thread Charles Fry
  * License : The Open Group Test Suite License
 
 I'm not optimistic about this licence being DFSG-free.

Hi,

I was wondering if Debian-legal could offer any insight on this matter.
I searched the mailing list archives, and found no explicit discussion
of this license. The only potentially problematic clauses I see are
those that ensure that the original test modes be preserved.

To my untrained eye this seems to be a variation of The license may
require derived works to carry a different name or version number from
the original software, with the exception that the original test cases
must also be provided, along with the derived works.

Could you please provide me with some official Debian advise on this
matter?

 also be accessed by the test code if they are in the same language.

Bug#283994: ITP: glastree -- builds live backup trees, with branches for each day

2004-12-03 Thread Charles Fry
  In what ways is this package different to, say, dirvish, which I use
  in a manner which is, AFAICS, identical to the way this package
  operates?
 
 Or storebackup?
 
 (Actually, storebackup's one-line description doesn't really hint at
 this functionality. But I'm using it to create daily snapshots of remote
 servers over smbfs and nfs, using hard links to conserve space. It
 offers sliding window; you can tell it to keep a month of backups, and
 then weekly after that for 6 months, then monthly etc.)
 
 Written in Perl, fwiw (not much I hope).

This one does indeed seem to fill the niche for which I had turned to
glastree.

I must admit that I would have benefited from a more thorough Debian
reference on available backup alternatives. Not that I have the
knowledge to make one myself, but hey.

With so many other alternatives, should I simply close my ITP bug, or
should I proceed with providing the package?

2004-12-03 Thread Charles Fry
  Well, if one had a small system and desired not to install ruby, it
  would still be possible to obtain pdumpfs' functionality. Of course
  that could be called an installation issue rather than a usability
  issue.
 
 3314kB, including pdumpfs itself.  I'll donate a 32MB USB key to store it
 all on for anyone that is *truly* that starved of space.  Meanwhile, what's
 the total installed space for glastree if you're not a Perl lover?

Good point. Size may not be the issue. But simplicity in manually
installing on a machine without an internet connection could make a Perl
alternative beneficial.

The poor man's daily snapshot, glastree builds live backup trees, with

unchanged files, while modified ones are copied verbatim. A prune
utility effects a constant, sliding window. Similar to pdumpfs; inspired

glastree provides a subset of the functionality of dirvish. It is

 Is there any benefit to using glastree over dirvish or pdumpfs?  

The advantage of using glastree over pdumpfs is that it is implemented
in Perl rather than Ruby (this is in fact the reason that I encountered
it in the first place).

As for using pdumpfs or glastree instead of dirvish, as far as I can
tell (not having previously examined dirvish) they require no
configuration, and may be simpler to use. dirvish seems to be designed
to run from a single backup server for potentially multiple clients.
pdumpfs and glastree are designed to be run strictly on a single client.

Bug#283994: ITP: glastree -- builds live backup trees, with branches for each day

   Is there any benefit to using glastree over dirvish or pdumpfs?  
  
  The advantage of using glastree over pdumpfs is that it is implemented
  in Perl rather than Ruby (this is in fact the reason that I encountered
  it in the first place).
 
 How is that an advantage of use?

Well, if one had a small system and desired not to install ruby, it
would still be possible to obtain pdumpfs' functionality. Of course that
could be called an installation issue rather than a usability issue.

Bug#223781: usemod-wiki adoption

2004-06-01 Thread Charles Fry
Julian, As I haven't heard from you since February, and as I have still not
received a response to my May 21st ping, I assume that you are no longer
actively seeking to maintain usemod-wiki.

As I have been requesting usemod-wiki ownership since January 14th, and
have continued to follow-up on this bug, I assume that I stand next in
line to proceed with adoption. If this is the case, Christoph has agreed
to co-maintain the package with me.

Benjamin, as the current package maintainer I was hoping that you could
give us some direction on this, if any is needed.

Unless replies by Julian or Benjamin indicate otherwise, Christoph and I
would like to move forward with a new usemod-wiki package next week.

thanks,
Charles

  interested in others helping out, though (Charles?).
  
  This version fixes 3 outstanding bugs. The TODO files contains a list of
  things I'll work out before uploading. Of course, comments on the
  package are welcome. As IANADD, I need a sponsor to upload usemod-wiki,
  but I don't think that'd be a problem.
 
 I have been requesting this package since January, and was simply
 attempting to provide Julian the opportunity to move forward with his
 package (as he once claimed he still intended to do).
 
 If he is not going to do so, then I would still like to maintain the
 package. Julian?

It has now been 160 days since usemod-wiki was offered for adoption. If
it is going to be adopted, then I would love to see the latest release
packaged. If the current adoption is not going to work out, I would love

Bug#234048: mailing list discussion

2004-04-19 Thread Charles Fry
I am withdrawing my ITP, as this package ended up being a bit more
complicated than initially anticipated. At first, I thought it would be
sufficient to simply package the signed jars, but per [1]this discussion
on the debian-java mailing list, the idea of obtaining a Debian
Certificate for signing the jar was proposed. This makes the packaging
process a fair bit more complex; surpassing my complete lack of
packaging experience (this was going to be my first package).

Bug#234048: multiple packages

2004-04-02 Thread Charles Fry
Just to be clear on this, my intent is to package all of the Bouncy
Castle libraries. The resulting Debian packages will be something like:

   libbcprov-jdk14-java
   libbcprov-jdk13-java
   libbcprov-jdk12-java

   libbcjce-jdk13-java
   libbcjce-jdk12-java

   libbcmail-jdk14-java
   libbcmail-jdk13-java

   libbcpg-jdk14-java
   libbcpg-jdk13-java
   libbcpg-jdk12-java

The details may change as I discuss this in the appropriate forums, I
just wanted to be sure that my intent to package all of the Bouncy
Castle libraries was clearly stated.

Bug#223781: usemod-wiki adoption

2004-02-05 Thread Charles Fry
Julian,

Are you still planning on maintaining usemod-wiki? As the new version
still has not been packaged, and several months have elapsed since you
expressed your intent to do so, I thought I would once again express my
interest in working with someone to maintain usemod-wiki. As previously
mentioned, I am not currently a developer, but as an active user of
usemod-wiki I thought that this would be a great place to start.
