  Description: GUI and non-GUI libraries for mass spectrometry (development 
files)
 .
 The libXpertMass and the libXpertMassGui shared libraries are designed to 
enshrine the non-GUI
 and the GUI functionalities needed by the following two mass spectrometry 
projects:
 .
 * msXpertSuite/massXpert2;
 * msXpertSuite/mineXpert2.
 .
 libXpertMass contains abstractions for all the chemical entities required to 
fully
 characterize a polymer chemistry definition, as shown below:
 .
 * Isotope
 * IsotopicData
 * Formula
 * Monomer
 * Oligomer
 * Polymer
 * Modif
 * CrossLinker
 * CrossLink
 * Aqueous chemical reactions (cleavages, enzymatic and non-enzymatic)
 * Gas-phase chemical reactions (fragmentations, with a sophisticated grammar 
to describe complex
   fragmentation patterns)
 * Isotopic cluster modelling/calculations for any chemical entity 
representable by an element
   composition formula and a charge.
 .
 libXpertMassGui contains classes useful:
 .
 * to display and manage isotopic data,
 * to configure isotopic cluster calculations,
 * to configure mass peak shaping processes (GAUSSIAN and LORENTZIAN),
 * to configure network communications between massXpert2 and mineXpert2.

Well, I think that ITP bugs are *more* useful when the person reading
the bug report can tell what the intended-to-be-packaged software
does. Sometimes, when I go through ITP bug reports, I find myself
thinking "Hmmm, that's interesting stuff, I'll have to check that from
time to time" (I also happen to discover software I did not know of
this way). However, I'll never think something like that if I cannot
figure what the software does, and that's a pity.

My two cents !

 ColorCode is an advanced MasterMind clone with lots of different
 game variants, from the very easy up to really challenging ones. You
 can combine any color count from 2-10 with any column count from 2-5
 and allow or not pegs of the same color. Or you may select one of the
 5 predefined levels of difficulty. ColorCode has also a rather
 intelligent built in MasterMind solver - so you can let the computer
 guess for you (nope, he's not cheating - really).

Well, in fact, in French that is "Le Coran", with a 'C' and not a
'K'. In Italian that is "Il Corano". Interestingly , the word is
always accompanied by the definite article in both languages, although
I do not know if the article should be necessarily be capitalized.

Greetings,

Contacting copyright holder and asking them to release under
GPL or such is not a bad idea.
even if they say no they might consider it in the future.


Even better, in my experience, if the mail introducing the problem is
well conceived, the authors are generally favourable. Especially if
they did not license their software at all. Recently it took me one
single mail to go from a proprietary license state to a GPL3+ licensed
state. I usually offer two licenses as examples, even providing a
short explanation of the choice between "permissive" (BSD-3-clause)
and "restrictive" (GPL3). All of this also applies to documentation
(and is part of my experience). Usually, making authors switch from
the almost automatic "All rights reserved" motto to GPL (or similar)
is not unfeasible.

Debian logo svg file is not loadable in Inkscape

2013-01-24 Thread Filippo Rusconi
Greetings, Fellow Debianists,

this is not actually a bug report but something that might concern us
all as a matter of Free Software use inside the Debian project:

The Debian logo file at http://www.debian.org/logos/openlogo.svg

fails to load in the much-respected SVG-based graphics editor Inkscape
(which I use daily and which works fine also for svg files not
produced by itself).

The error is this:

$ inkscape openlogo.svg
openlogo.svg:18: namespace warning : xmlns: URI &ns_svg; is not absolute
 xmlns="&ns_svg;" xmlns:xlink="&ns_xlink;" 
xmlns:a="http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeSV
 ^
openlogo.svg:22: namespace warning : xmlns: URI &ns_vars; is not absolute

^
openlogo.svg:25: namespace warning : xmlns: URI &ns_custom; is not absolute

  ^

Note that The Gimp seems to load the file just fine, although also
with an error message:

Execution error for procedure 'gimp-vectors-import-from-file':
Failed to import paths from 'openlogo.svg':
Error on line 17: Entity name 'ns_extend' is not known

Also, Iceweasel seems to load the file fine since it displays
correctly.

While I'm no expert in XML stuff, I see in the following lines at the
top of the file that the problems might relate to some Adobe-specific
namespace rules (or extensions, or whatever):




http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd"; [
http://ns.adobe.com/Flows/1.0/";>
http://ns.adobe.com/Extensibility/1.0/";>
http://ns.adobe.com/AdobeIllustrator/10.0/";>
http://ns.adobe.com/Graphs/1.0/";>
http://ns.adobe.com/Variables/1.0/";>
http://ns.adobe.com/ImageReplacement/1.0/";>
http://ns.adobe.com/SaveForWeb/1.0/";>
http://ns.adobe.com/GenericCustomNamespace/1.0/";>
http://ns.adobe.com/XPath/1.0/";>
http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";>
http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
]>

Because opening the file in The Gimp transforms the svg graphics
object into a raster graphics object, the vector benefits of svg are
lost and thus The Gimp cannot be used as a substitute of Inkscape.

We may want to make sure that this file loads fine in Free Software
graphics svg-based programs and maybe convert it to either a more
generic svg file, or at least something free (Inkscape might be a good
candidate for this).

Any thoughts ?
Cheers,
Filippo

$ inkscape --version
Inkscape 0.48.3.1 r9886 (Dec 29 2012)

$ dpkg -l inkscape
ii  inkscape  0.48.3.1-1.3  amd64

So, I would say this is odd.

could you confirm this on a file that you have

Investigating a bit, I found that

gives a 404 in my browser. This url is at line 18 of the file.

Same for 

http://www.adobe.com/Extensibility/1.0/

We certainly need some experts knowing what they do :-)

By the way, is the author of this file known ? Maybe he/she could help?

That did the trick ! Thanks a lot. In fact I had set out to remove the
DTD manually, but my first attempts failed. I can see that the DTD
specif went away in the fixed file.

For what it's worth, there is still some adobe-specific metadata cruft
that can be removed with no harm apparently:



http://ns.adobe.com/Variables/1.0/";>


http://ns.adobe.com/GenericCustomNamespace/1.0/"; 
xmlns:v="http://ns.adobe.com/Variables/1.0/"/>


http://ns.adobe.com/SaveForWeb/1.0/";>





Attached to this mail is a version saved with inkscape and edited to
remove any reference to adobe. This new file loads fine in Inkscape,
The Gimp, Iceweasel and... GNU Emacs!

Maybe the folks at debian-...@lists.debian.org might want to give it a
test and replace the old file with this one? Anyhow I now have my
Debian logo for my slides!

Thanks all for helping with this issue.

My question is: is there a way to trigger rebuilding of the whole

would that possibly mean that there are problems with
zandonai.debian.org at the hardware level?

Any idea on that matter?

Come on, John Paul Adrian, how can you assert all these things? Did
you do any survey? Do you really think that your few colleagues
actually are a mirror of a whole community of people using software
for doing lots of different things? I do use plain GNU Emacs with a
grahical interface (that is, with X11, not in console mode) the whole
day, for doing either LaTeX, C/C++, Python, Bash, XML, WhatEver
stuff...

How about letting Mark do his job as a Debian Developer and judge him
on his abilities to fix things? I have absolutely no interest in
defining if XEmacs is worth it in Debian or not. The usage count
should somehow help us. Can we assume that Mark will show a
responsible behaviour? Also, may I ask how what he is trying to do is
so detrimental to the project that we feel like spending time chirping
about it?

Don't we have other interesting Debian-Project-related things to
discuss about ?

If there are RC bugs for unused software, the software needs to be
removed and thus does not go into stable. Period. If this removal work
is done well before the freeze, better. Again, let Mark do his job and
check the package in due time.

Selfish vision, to my humble opinion. That way of thinking defeats the

they want.

Mark is indeed trying to fix the bugs, if I understand

Re: Conflict between debian/upstream (DEP-12) & debian/upstream/ (uscan)

2014-02-10 Thread Filippo Rusconi

Greetings Fellow Developers,

I would like to put here some words that I had in mind since I
discovered the problem with the upstream file/dir in debian/.

It is already a respectable while that we use the debian/upstream
*file* for the documentation of bibliographic data in packages that
might have articles published about the software packaged.

I discovered recently that upstream was to become a directory in
debian/. While I think that such a choice might be a reasonably good
idea, I have to admit my astonishment at the total absence of
information/discussion around that matter, from the side of the
devscripts folks, as this choice fell us--designers and happy users of
debian/upstream as a file totally out of the blue.

debian/source/ is for content related to the source package.

debian/upstream/ would be for content related to upstream.

There's a distinct separation there and as the signing key is, IMO,
obviously upstream metadata it's not appropriate for debian/source/.
The only relation it has to the source package is that it's used to
verify one component of the source package.






I wonder whether you have further files in mind which should end up in
debian/upstream/ dir.  Could your please give some reasons why you
dropped the previously used location, debian/upstream-signing-key.pgp,
in favour of introducing a directory which even conflicts with some
other file name which is discussed in a DEP-12 without minding any
discussion.  IMHO, it is simply not the right way to to a grab into the
name space without dicussion and creating work for your fellow DDs by
doing so.


+1


If I could see any vision behind your change I would have no problem to
follow this vision but even if I have some very slight sympathy from the
"esthetics" of naming I consider the principle of "never change a
running system" as way more important than some slight esthetical change
specifically introduced without any coordination / discussion in the
first place.


+1


In short: If there is some big plan for a debian/upstream/ dir please
lay it out for public discussion.  Otherwise I'd be in favour of
reverting the change in devscripts.

Happy hacking,
Filippo

Many users of cmake are indeed KDE devs, but cmake is also used a lot
in projects that use Qt only (massXpert is one example, but there are
many).

2019-01-17 Thread Filippo Rusconi

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Filippo Rusconi 

* Package name: daps

 Upstream Author : Frank Sundermeyer 
* URL : http://opensuse.github.io/daps
* License : GPL-3.0
 Programming Lang: Shell, Python 
Description: DocBook Authoring and Publishing Suite (DAPS)

DAPS contains a set of stylesheets, scripts and makefiles that enable
you to create HTML, PDF, EPUB and other formats from DocBook XML with a
single command. It also contains tools to generate profiled source
tarballs for distributing your XML sources for translation or review.
.
DAPS also includes tools that assist you when writing DocBook XML:
linkchecker, validator, spellchecker, editor macros and stylesheets for
converting DocBook XML.

I was looking for some integrated solution to author the user manuals of my
msXpertSuite software and I tried publican, but felt it was a bit rough. Then I
discovered daps and I found it really well documented, really
well-functioning. In no time I had a workflow that worked flawlessly.

DocBook is now getting more and more traction even amongs non-technical writers.
I feel that having a bit of competition in Debian is useful.

When DAPS will be in Debian, I'll build the user manuals of mineXpert and
massXpert during package build.

I've never heard that Discord was Free Software. In fact, I heard that in my
university it has been flagged as non-Free Software and thus is not used.

The Licenses that you point at https://discordapp.com/licenses seem to be the
licenses of the software used by the software you intend to package.

I went to this place:

https://discord.com/terms#6

and I had a feeling that indeed, discord is not Free Software.

However, it might be that the specific software that you intend to package is
indeed Free Software, but we would like to see the explicit licence of that
software.

Would you post here the "custom" license that you describe in the stanza above,
please?

I have just stumbled on the same while building a new package with

‘debian/_jh_build.lucene9-9.4.2’: Operation not permitted
jh_build: error: install -m0755 -o 0 -g 0 -d

However, I have no idea why '-o 0 -g 0' options are used. They do 
not seem to be used before.


Andrius



Long story short:

* Bug in fakeroot (#1023286 + #1024544)
* Me thinking it was a bug in debhelper so I tried to fix it
  (which did not work and broke on the way in)
* Me realizing it was a bug in fakeroot and my change did not
  even function as a work around, so I undid it (it broke on
  the way out as well).

And the winners are: All the people that have (and are) able to use 
"Rules-Requires-Root: no" as packages with that flag would have been

completely unaffected by this entire ordeal!

Your options include:

* Migrate to "Rules-Requires-Root: no" if you can
* Ensure you have debhelper (>= 13.11.3~) ("just uploaded") or
  debhelper/13.11.1 (or debhelper << 13.11)

I will now go back to looking more at my prototype for getting even 
more packages buildable with "Rules-Requires-Root: no".


Thank you so much for the explanation. I'll go the Rules-Requires-Root: no
route!

Bug#961085: ITP: toppic -- Top-down proteoform identification and characterization

2020-05-19 Thread Filippo Rusconi
Source: toppic
Section: science
Priority: optional
Maintainer: The Debichem Group 
Uploaders: Filippo Rusconi 
Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 12),
   dpkg-dev (>= 1.18.25),
   cmake (>= 3.12)
Standards-Version: 4.5.0
Homepage: http://proteomics.informatics.iupui.edu/software/toppic/index.html
Vcs-Browser: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/toppic
Vcs-Git: https://salsa.debian.org/debian/toppic.git

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Filippo Rusconi 


I intend to package the toppic software that is necessary to perform mass
spectrometry-based protein identifications. 

This software will become essential in my own laboratory research, along with
other software packages that I created and that I already maintain with the
debichem team.

I will maintain the package within the debichem team.

Package: toppic
Architecture: any
Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, 
 ${misc:Depends}
Description: Top-down proteoform identification and characterization
 The TopPIC Suite consists of four software tools for the interpretation
 of top-down mass spectrometry data: TopFD, TopPIC, TopMG, and TopDiff.
 .
 - TopFD (Top-down mass spectral Feature Detection) is a software tool for
   top-down spectral deconvolution and a successor to MS-Deconv.  It groups
   top-down spectral peaks into isotopomer envelopes and converts isotopomer
   envelopes to monoisotopic neutral masses. In addition, it extracts proteoform
   features from LC-MS or CE-MS data.
.
 - TopPIC (Top-down mass spectrometry based Proteoform Identification and
   Characterization) identifies and characterizes proteoforms at the proteome
   level by searching top-down tandem mass spectra against a protein sequence
   database. TopPIC is a successor to MS-Align+. It efficiently identifies
   proteoforms with unexpected alterations, such as mutations and
   post-translational modifications (PTMs), accurately estimates the statistical
   significance of identifications, and characterizes reported proteoforms with
   unknown mass shifts. It uses several techniques, such as indexes, spectral
   alignment, generation function methods, and the modification identification
   score (MIScore), to increase the speed, sensitivity, and accuracy.
 .
 - TopMG (Top-down mass spectrometry based proteoform identification using Mass
   Graphs) is a software tool for identifying ultra-modified proteoforms by
   searching top-down tandem mass spectra against a protein sequence database. 
It
   is capable of identifying proteoforms with multiple variable PTMs and
   unexpected alterations, such as histone proteoforms and phosphorylated ones. 
It
   uses mass graphs, which efficiently represent candidate proteoforms with
   multiple variable PTMs, to increase the speed and sensitivity in proteoform
   identification. In addition, approximate spectrum-based filtering methods are
   employed for protein sequence filtering, and a Markov chain Monte Carlo 
method
   (TopMCMC) is used for estimating the statistical significance of
   identifications.  
 .
 - TopDiff (Top-down mass spectrometry-based identification of Differentially
   expressed proteoforms) compares the abundances of proteoforms and finds
   differentially expressed proteoforms by using identifications of top-down 
mass
   spectrometry data of several protein samples.

Filippo

Bug#961805: ITP: libcustompwiz -- Library to load mzML/mzXML files (dev files)

2020-05-29 Thread Filippo Rusconi

Severity: wishlist

 .
 Description: Library to load mzML/mzXML files (dev files)
 .
 This library is a dumbed-down version of the Proteowizard library.
 This library only contains the required features to 
 load standard mzML/mzXML mass spectrometry data files.

 The original project, that I used to package has abandoned the autotools build
 system and the bjam-based build system is not acceptable by me for its
 unbearable complexity. 
 .
 The only features that are most often used by most projects  from the original
 library are the mass spectrometry data file loading features (files in the
 mzML/mzXML standard format). A number of projects have included this subset
 directly in their source tree. I want to be able to prune that code from these
 projects' source tree and link to this library when I package the projects for
 Debian (for example, the toppic project that I uploaded recently to NEW).
 .
 See http://proteowizard.sourceforge.net/ for the original project.

Re: Next attempt to add Blends to Debian installer

Hi,

to give some status information about how we can make Blends more
visible at installer stage:  Holger Levsen, Phil Hands, Steve McIntyre
and I had some discussion in DebCamp.  The conclusion was that adding
Blends to the installer tasksel menu would be perfectly possible if
tasksel itself would provide some menu hierarchy.  We all agreed that
the current selection of tasks needs some overhaul in general.  It
could provide some menu item:

  "Select Blend"   (or rather some better text here!)

and than you get a selection of Blends to pick (one or more) from.

For the Stretch release Phil even wrote some code in this direction that
needs some refresh. (Phil, can you give some pointer if there is
something to test?)

Any comments / code contributions are welcome.



Please, add some small strophe to explain what a blend is, as I can tell that
this is not something widely known even to seasoned Debian users/admins (have
examples from research labs).

Also, when I installed debian-science and debichem last time, the process
downloaded such an amount of software that it almost filled my disk (which I was
not suspecting). Maybe, a rough indication of the used disk space in front of
each blend might be useful, in this respect.

Just my 2 cents, along with my very best wishes,

Re: Adding SONAME to a shared object in KLEE

2016-02-18 Thread Filippo Rusconi
   libQtSvg.so.4
   NEEDED   libQtGui.so.4
   NEEDED   libQtXml.so.4
   NEEDED   libQtCore.so.4
   NEEDED   libstdc++.so.6
   NEEDED   libm.so.6
   NEEDED   libgcc_s.so.1
   NEEDED   libc.so.6

Now, as you can see, the listed names are all SONAMES :
lib.so..

For example, if I now want to see the files relating to libQtCore.so.4:

ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so* -l
  18 Jan 12 05:15 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so -> 
libQtCore.so.4.8.6
  18 Jan 12 05:15 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so.4 -> 
libQtCore.so.4.8.6
  18 Jan 12 05:15 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so.4.8 -> 
libQtCore.so.4.8.6
3033168 Jan 12 05:17 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtCore.so.4.8.6

You can see that the real library name is indeed libQtCore.so.4.8.6,
of size 3033168, and the other ones are only symbolic links.


OK, NOW THAT WE HAVE THESE FUNDAMENTALS HOW WOULD WE BE DOING WITH
libkleeRuntest library ?

The real name
=


Generate the library right from the build with the proper name:

libkleeRuntest.so.1.1

How would we do that ? We need to tell the linker how to create the
library file:

compilation flags to build your libkleeRuntest shared object lib:

-shared -fPIC -Wl,-soname,libkleeRuntest.so.1.1 -o libkleeRuntest.so.1.1

These flags need to go in the makefile that drives the build of the library.

This will build the properly-named lib file: libkleeRuntest.so.1.1.

You can check that by running this command:

readelf -d libkleeRuntest.so.1.1

will output something like:
Dynamic section at offset 0xb8c0 contains 26 entries:
   TagType Name/Value
  0x0001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libgcc_s.so.1]
  0x0001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libc.so.6]
  0x000e (SONAME) Library soname: [libkleeRuntest.so.1]
  0x000c (INIT)   0x4e68
  0x000d (FINI)   0x965c

As you can see, the SONAME is correctly mentioned now.

This is all we need to make real-world UNIX-based libs.

Now, we still need the symbolic links, and this is your debian
packager duty. How is this implemented in Debian and Debian-based
systems ?

When packaging libraries, we always start from a source package that
somehow only ships the original source tarball plus methods to build
the binary packages.

A random user will only want binary packages because she would not
even know what to do with a source package.

The software will be shipped as source in the debian source package
named libkleeruntest.

This source package will contain an attached archive file containing a
debian/ directory plus all of its contents.

In the debian/* files, we document how to process the source package
to actually build binary packages.

For each source package that contains a library (or set of libraries,
as is your case) we need to produce two different binary packages:

libkleeruntest1, which is the binary package that a user will have to
install if she ever needs to install a package that makes use of that
library. This package only contains the REAL-NAME file and the
SONAME-to-REAL-NAME symbolic link.

libkleeruntest-dev, which is the binary package that ships all the
files needed for the use of the library from a development
perspective. That is the package where the /usr/include/*.h[pp] files
are shipped. We also ship the second LINKER-NAME-to-REAL-NAME symbolic
link. In most cases, the -dev package is not versioned: it is
typically the last version of the library which in turn depends on the
other binary package of the same version, that of course ships the
real library file.

Hope this helps.

I tried to ./configure  the package, but I am missing a library on
this system and I cannot install it. If you cannot succeed with the
explanations above, send the makefile's (there are some, I saw) and
I'll try to see if I can help.
