The total amount of lines of all the files in the git repository is 161, there are 5 lines of code, so the overhead 3220%. Or if you want to measure in bytes, total files are 4515 bytes and index.js is 150 bytes which results in an overhead of 3010%. In my opinion that is excessive overhead. And that's just the overhead in bits. This package probably won't need any changes in the future, but packages with a few more lines of code might. What happens when the maintainer goes MIA and something needs to be fixed? Do we then get forks of libraries that have only 30 lines of code, everybody has to update their dependencies to get the fixed version, etc.? That is also overhead you wouldn't have with a standard library maintained by a group of developers. Kind regards, Jeroen Dekkers

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Georges Khaznadar * Package name: sonic-pi Version : 2.7.0 Upstream Author : Samuel Aaron (http://sam.aaron.name) * URL : http://sonic-pi.net * License : MIT Programming Lang: Ruby Description : a new kind of musical instrument : teach programming and music Sonic Pi is a new kind of musical instrument. Instead of strumming strings or whacking things with sticks - you write code - live. . Sonic Pi has been designed with the aim to find a harmonious balance between three core principles: . - Simple enough for the 10 year old within you - Joyful enough for you to lose yourself through play - Powerful enough for your own expressions . Sonic Pi is a complete open source programming environment originally designed to explore and teach programming concepts within schools through the process of creating new sounds. . In addition to being an engaging education resource it has evolved into an extremely powerful and performance-ready live coding instrument suitable for professional artists and DJs.

As Linux distributions converge on similar tools, the problem space overlapping different distributions is growing. This standardization across the distributions presents an opportunity to develop generic solutions to the problems of aggregating, building, and maintaining the pieces that go into a distribution. We welcome submissions targeted at developers interested in issues unique to distributions, especially in the following topics: - Cross-distribution collaboration on common issues, eg: content distribution and documentation - Working with vendor relationships (eg. cloud providers, non-commodity hardware vendors etc ) - The future of distributions, emerging trends and evolving user demands from the idea of a platform - User experience management ( onboarding new users, facilitating technical growth, user to contribution transitions etc ) - Building trust and code relationships with the upstream components of a distribution - Solving traditional problems like package management, and content management (eg. rpm/dpkg/ostree/coreos ) - Contributor resource management, centralised trust management, key trust etc - Integration technologies like installers, deployment facilitation ( eg. cloud contextualisation ) Submissions may be in the form of 30-55 minute talks, panel sessions, round-table discussions, Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions or lightning talks.

Bug#803988: ITP: osm-tile-server -- OpenStreetMap tile server
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Ruben Undheim * Package name: osm-tile-server Version : 0.1 Upstream Author : native package * URL : https://github.com/rubund/osm-tile-server * License : GPL-2+ Programming Lang: C, bash Description : OpebStreetMap tile server osm-tile-server is a native Debian package that aims to help people setting up a tile server for OpenStreetMap in Debian. It takes advantage of packages already in Debian and adds the necessary "glue" to make a tile server work sort of "out-of-the-box". The intention is to support different rendering engines such as tilelite and mod_tile, but since mod_tile is not yet in Debian, only support for tilelite is there yet. This functionality is given by the package 'osm-tile-server-tilelite'. The binary package 'osm-tile-server' is a metapackage that pulls in "osm-tile-server-tilelite | osm-tile-server-mod-tile", but where osm-tile-server-mod-tile doesn't exist yet. The binary package 'osm-tile-server-base' provides the scripts necessary to setup a postgis database, download OSM data and import it. Everything can be accomplished with debconf selections. With this package, it is possible to have a fully functional OpenStreetMap tile server using only one command: sudo apt install osm-tile-server or: sudo apt install osm-tile-server-tilelite I plan to maintain it as part of the Debian GIS team.

Bug#804007: ITP: bcftools -- utilities for genomic variant calling and manipulating VCF and BCF files
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Debian Med Packaging Team * Package name: bcftools Version : 1.2 Upstream Author : Petr Danecek, Shane McCarthy and John Marshall * URL : http://samtools.github.io/bcftools/ * License : GPL or MIT/X Programming Lang: C Description : utilities for genomic variant calling and manipulating VCF and BCF files BCFtools is a set of utilities that manipulate variant calls in the Variant Call Format (VCF) and its binary counterpart BCF. All commands work transparently with both VCFs and BCFs, both uncompressed and BGZF-compressed. Most commands accept VCF, bgzipped VCF and BCF with filetype detected automatically even when streaming from a pipe. Indexed VCF and BCF will work in all situations. Un-indexed VCF and BCF and streams will work in most, but not all situations. BCFtools is designed to work on a stream. It regards an input file "-" as the standard input (stdin) and outputs to the standard output (stdout). Several commands can thus be combined with Unix pipes. This package will be managed by the Debian Med team.
