RFS: gnustep-dl2 (updated package)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.12.0-1 of the package "gnustep-dl2", which i intend to adopt. It builds these binary packages: gnustep-dl2 - Objective-C Classes needed for Database Access gnustep-dl2-postgresql-adaptor - gnustep-dl2 adaptor to connect to PostgreSQL gnustep-dl2-sqlite-adaptor - gnustep-dl2 adaptor to connect to SQLite libgnustep-dl2-0 - bundle of runtime libraries for gnustep-dl2 libgnustep-dl2-dev - development files for gnustep-dl2 runtime libraries Beside the new upstream version being packaged, the original package has been split in its functional components, including a bundle of runtime libraries, according to the recommendations made by upstream authors and by the Debian GNUstep Maintainers group [1] [2]. There are other modifications, like the addition of flags for optimized build, changes in the installation paths to comply with the FHS, manpages for binaries and changes to generate and install the complete documentation. The upload would fix this bug: 461896 The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnustep-dl2 - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnustep-dl2/gnustep-dl2_0.12.0-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

I was under the impression that /^python-django-.*$/ would be better since it would suggest the close relation to Django. On second thought it might be advisable to actually stay with python-django-$module name for consistency reasons: it looks like other Django-specific Python modules are already using such a scheme.

Re: RFS: lmfit
Hi, Have you sent an ITP? Unfortunately I don't think lmfit is... fit for Debian (yet): I believe it is a Debian policy to not accept libraries which are not used by any application in Debian. Furthermore, lmfit is only a tiny little bit of (useful) software. It will have a hard time surviving this cruel world. If you want to attract more users, I would suggest that you try to get it included in a larger scientific library (e.g. the GSL). Best regards, Thibaut.

Gnutls for Webfs
Dear mentors, there is an old bug #395873 for Webfs asking to implement GnuTLS support instead of OpenSSL support due the problematic license. This dates back to June 2006, but never lead anywhere. I recently adopted the package and I have now implemented the desired use of GnuTLS, but I could use a pointer as to the best methods of provoking a failed TLS-handshake. I need this for the in-depth testing of the new patch, but I do not find myself knowledged in how one produces defective SSL/TLS exchanges. The successful ones are easy enough using gnutls-cli or 'openssl s_client'. I will be thankful for any suggestions.

Re: RFS: lmfit
Salut Thibaut: Have you sent an ITP? not yet Unfortunately I don't think lmfit is... fit for Debian (yet): I believe it is a Debian policy to not accept libraries which are not used by any application in Debian. I cannot believe that a useful math subroutine will be rejected just because the natural way to package it happens to be a library. Coudl you please show me where I can find the original wording of that policy ? Furthermore, lmfit is only a tiny little bit of (useful) software. It will have a hard time surviving this cruel world. If you want to attract more users, I would suggest that you try to get it included in a larger scientific library (e.g. the GSL). Since a copuple of years, the lmfit source distribution is downloaded more than a 100 times per month. So it's not only useful, it's actually used, and survival is not an issue. Distributing it with Debian would increase visibility and ease of installation, no more, no less. Inclusion in a larger library is not a good advice, sorry for being plain about that. lmfit is quite complementary to a huge project like GSL, which actually has some Levenberg-Marquardt implementation of its own. The advantages of lmfit are: (1) Very simple to use, thanks to a very simple API. (2) Very old, stable, well documented algorithm, very readable, all the mathematics in just one source file, no external dependences. (3) Public domain.
