New Developer
I would like to help Debian. I've seen some packages which are qualified as orphan and I would like to adopt them. I've read the documentation on how to become a developer, and I understood that I need an advocate. The packages I'm interested in are: fda: C malloc debug library (package info) judy: C library for creating and accessing dynamic arrays (package info) Both are related to memory allocation. I have some experience with that and thought I may help. Thanks for the information or help you could give me. Eduardo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Questions of legality WRT dvd software
Hello all, I'm considering packaging up a small program called dvdbackup, but I'm ambivalent about it for several reasons. The program is designed to extract all the files on a video dvd, and place them in a heirarchy suitable for use with mkisofs and dvdrecord. As of yet, it does not split the image into smaller ones, suitable for burning onto 2 discs (which is what most people would have to do, unless they want to use transcode or something to downscale the video, so that it fits onto one dvd -r). The author is working on this, and plans to release the split functions (writing new .IFO's and the like) as libraries. The reason I'm writing is because I wonder about two things - the program itself is only a single .c file, about 15K compressed, and I wonder if there is any point in packaging up something this small and easy to compile. Granted, it's not some 4 line shell script, but it still seems to push the lower bounds of reasonable. The second thing is the legality of this. There are, I know, issues around the DMCA and friends that govern what you are allowed to do with dvd's, at least in some uncivilized countries, and I don't know if a program that's sole purpose is to extract stuff off of dvd's will be redistributable by Debian. I know that apps like transcode are not in Debian, although I don't know if this is is the reason. Anybody familiar with this terrain feel like commenting?

If you feel it doesn't "deserve" it's own package, maybe you could arrange a merge with another related package, even though I can't really think of any suitable one. IMO it should be packaged independently for one reason: ease of distribution.

You have to do some work before asking for a sponsor. You need to change bug reports 192657 and 172772 to ITA (intent to adopt).

Looking for a sponsor for levee
Hi, I'm looking for a sponsor for the package levee wich is orphaned. Description: a very small vi clone Levee is a screen oriented editor based on the Unix editor "vi". It provides a terse, powerful way to enter and edit text. If you are interested you can take a look at the packages I made at the following URL: http://users.pandora.be/tim/debian/ One last question: Do I need to fill a ITP bugreport? Regards, Tim

Well, since it is orphaned there should be a O: bug report against wnpp already for it. So you just need to change the title to ITA: for Intent to Adopt.

You have to do some work before asking for a sponsor. You need to change bug reports 192657 and 172772 to ITA (intent to adopt). To do that send a mail message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and cc debian-devel@lists.debian.org with the following three lines: retitle 192657 ITA: fda -- C malloc debug library retitle 172772 ITA: judy -- C library for creating and accessing dynamic arrays stop After the stop line you can put your explanations, signature, etc. See: http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ http://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control Include the following line in fda's changelog file: * New maintainer. (closes: #192657) And the following line judy's changelog file: * New maintainer. (closes: #172772) Next, go and fix the oustanding fda bugs. The two fda bugs are easy. There are no bugs for judy. See: http://bugs.debian.org/fda http://bugs.debian.org/judy Repackage both fda and judy, and you'll be ready to look for a sponsor. > Greetings > Eduardo Aníbal -- Building 28C, Monash University, VIC 3800, Australia
