2010-09-06 Thread jidanni
OK, it seems only debian-multimedia has the problem. I'll tell
maril...@debian.org to please see 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=595691 .
P.S., the way the progress messages appear, one cannot tell which server
we are working with, but instead the last transaction completed etc.

Re: review ghostess

2010-09-06 Thread rosea grammostola
Hi,

There is a new upstream version with manpage now. I tried to merge it, but I
do get patches related messages when running git-buildpackage.

The short howto on the multimedia wiki says

resolve merge conflicts, review your changes e.g. with gitk

How to check if there are conflicts and how to resolve those? When i use
gitk I get a 'crappy' GUI with letters I can't read clearly...

Looking for a sponsor for MiniDisc software

2010-09-06 Thread Adrian Glaubitz
Dear Debian multimedia package maintainers,

I'm one of the developers of the project called linux-minidisc [1]. The goal 
of your project is
to bring full and free software support for all NetMD and HiMD MiniDisc 
recorders and players.
Both NetMD and HiMD offer technologies to connect a MiniDisc device over USB
to a computer to transfer music tracks to and from the MiniDisc device in a
way iTunes and iPods work together.

There has been a project called libnetmd before which offered this 
functionality as
well but due to the encryption of the audio data, it was never possible to 
download
any tracks to the MiniDisc devices even though technically possible. The project
was eventually orphaned. It was still in Debian in the Etch release, if I 
remember
correctly.

However, due to our endless efforts, we finally were able to reverse engineer 
the whole
protocols behind NetMD and HiMD and we are able to provide fully-fledged
support to both of these technologies on Linux and other operating systems.
Since some of the technologies involve intellectual properties of Sony, we
have stripped down our code to include legal technologies only. Since
this limits the functionality of our software, we are in negotiations with Sony
Corporation to get an official permission from the to distribute all of our code
and knowledge under a free license. The case has not been decided yet, but
from the previous mails from Sony, it looks like they are putting a lot of 
efforts
to resolve this situation for the best of the community so we can eventually
provide our software to everyone.

I am therefore seeking a sponsor to support our project to get it into Debian. 
The
popularity contest shows, that both packages, qhimdtransfer and
python-netmd which result from our project, are installed by several people
already. The download counters for the Windows and Mac versions have surpassed
2500 downloads, so there is certainly a demand for our software. The package
for qhimdtransfer can be found on Debian Mentors [2] and my Ubuntu PPA [3]. 
These
versions do not contain any code that may infringe the intellectual properties
of Sony Corporation and others, so they could be uploaded to Debian without
any license issues, the code is completely GPLv2.

I am already the maintainer of the two Debian packages kcemu [4] and 
libz80ex1 [5],
so I have already some background when it comes to packaging.

I would really appreciate any support in getting our software into Debian, I 
have
been trying to get it sponsored for almost a year now without success.

Thanks a lot,

Adrian

Re: first package: pd-wiimote

I really don't get the logic of _adding_ a license at all.



this is only because of some attempts to uniform the build process for
pd-externals (nothing to do with debian), which makes some hardcoded
assumptions about what should be in a tarball/install and what not.

upstream wiimote switched to this template build system just before
releasing 0.3.1, but the switch obviously was done in a rush which
introduced a number of problems, one of which we are seeing here.



It is actually not needed for running the program, but the libdir  
format

for Pd libraries proposed by Hans-Christoph Steiner defines a
LICENSE.txt and README.txt to be included in every Pd library.

Currently, the quilt patch adds the license which is later replaced  
by a
symlink (see debian/links). I think I remove the patch and simply  
leave

the symlink.


a better approach (imho) would be to patch the makefile to not  
depend on

the LICENSE.txt rather than add the LICENSE.txt via the patch.


anyhow, in upstream this has now been dealed with like this:
- completely switching away from the template build system in favour  
of

autotools for new releases (starting with 0.4)
- fixing the template build system with a bugfix release 0.3.2  
(which is

now in debian)



Every tarball should have a file in it that contains the license.   
Having that be a standard name like LICENSE.txt makes it really easy  
to find for people who are doing things like packaging Pd libraries  
for Debian.  Also, the LICENSE.txt is there for the Pd user and is  
browsable from within the Pd Help Browser.  Just like Debian users, Pd  
users should be able to find license information in a easy, standard  
way.
