Bug#519377: Integrate yaclc in devscripts?

2009-07-20 Thread Adam D. Barratt

Patrick Schoenfeld wrote:

Sandro Tosi orphaned the package yaclc, because the maintainer of

Ralf Treinen suggested to integrate it into devscripts.
I think that this is a good idea. What do the other devscripts
maintainers think?


I must admit to not having looked at the package in any detail, but purely 
from the dependencies (lib{uri,www}-perl) is it by any chance HTML-scraping 
the BTS?

I want to add this functionality to OpenVPN to auth on OpenLDAP.


There's already a package of openvpn-auth-ldap (packaged by Debian's openvpn

Thanks for working on this, etpan appears to have a number of features

This seems to be a common error, but the word you're looking for is

Thrusting your users would be something quite different...

Aside from Scott's comments on the software, this process is entirely
back-to-front. Source packages are used to build binary packages - one
doesn't create a binary package and then somehow work from there to a
source package.

(On the whole, maintainers also don't prepare binary uploads for
multiple architectures.)

I suspect ftp-master are unlikely to approve a new package for a single

You're comparing two different ISO standards (and mixing the two in ways
that don't work), afaics. ISO3166 covers territory and country names,
whereas ISO639-2 relates to language (and therefore locale) names.

The ISO369-[12] decoding list
(http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html) lists Ukranian as UA.


The ISO3166 decoding table
(http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/iso
_3166-1_decoding_table.html) lists `UK' as `exceptionally reserved'.

As noted in
http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/04background-on-iso-3166/i
so3166-1-and-ccTLDs.html there are currently five ccTLDs that do not match
the ISO3166 codes for the area in question. They /are/ all, however,
`exceptionally reserved' by ISO.

It's currently orphaned. However, instead of properly retitling the
already-existing wnpp bug for this package, the submitter has simply
opened a new one. :(

Alex: Retitle #206119 to give it the same title as this bug, and merge
them. The same applies to #183358 (the original RFP for gtk2edit) and
#252385 (your newly opened, and therefore duplicate, ITP). See

That was a year ago now, and no-one appears to have expressed any
interest in the package in the meantime.  The FTBFS may be easily
fixable but the package was not released with lenny and probably
shouldn't be released with squeeze if no-one cares about it.

The maintainer agreed during a discussion on #debian-release earlier
today:

18:22 < enrico> adsb: didn't I file for removal of debtags-edit?
18:23 < adsb> Can't see an ftp.d.o bug for it
18:24 < enrico> adsb: ah, sorry: I orphaned it

Since you will be the Maintainer of the package I think you wanted to
file an ITP (Intent to Package) and not an RFP (Request to package).
Please provide also the other informations usually included in an ITP
(see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#l2 )


For reference, the package will also _not_ be in squeeze or wheezy, as 
they are both already released.


It could, of course, be provided via {squeeze,wheezy}-backports once

It was removed from unstable due to a lack of ABI stability - see

Did you talk to the current mutt maintainers about this?

The changelog for the mutt 1.6.1-1 upload to experimental includes:

   * Replace ifdef.patch with neomutt's
   * Replace the three trash patches with neomutt's
 - features/imap_fast_trash.patch
 - features/purge-message.patch
 - features/trash-folder.patch
   * Replace our sidebar patches with neomutt's.
 This replaces all 4 of our sidebar patches (and more!). Unfortunately,
 needed a tiny fix over neomutt's sidebar because of our opposite
 ordering vis-a-vis 11-ifdef.
   * Remove the sidebar.muttrc sample, new patch has proper docs
   * Update NEWS with the new (NeoMutt's) sidebar changes
   * Replace NNTP patch with neomutt's
   * Replace sensible-browser patch with neomutt's

FWIW although I performed the initial port of the script from KDESDK to

in some time and certainly wouldn't consider myself upstream for it.


I guess "the devscripts development team" or somesuch would be better, 
although since the package has been in collab-maint the script has had a

It's possible. It's been rather a long time and I no longer have any
record of where I extracted the address from.

If that's the case, sure. I don't recall seeing any name other than
Faure's at the time however.

  Description : Pluggable Authentication Module for fingerprint
authentication

This module provides biomtric fingerprint authentication. Supported
sensors are ZhianTec ZFM-20, ZFM-60, ZFM-70 and ZFM-100. Other models
like R302, R303, R305, R306, R307, R551 and FPM10A also work.

This package is a good addition to Debian since there seems no such
package.


Are https://packages.debian.org/sid/libfprint0 and 
https://packages.debian.org/unstable/libpam-fprintd not suitable?

Bug#922643: ITP: build-alternative -- helper to build Debian package with diet libc

How well tested is the package? From a quick look at the Debianization:


Package: build-alternative
Architecture: all
Depends:
 ${misc:Depends},
 dietlibc-dev (>= 0.34~cvs20160606-3) [alpha amd64 arm64 armeb armel armhf hppa 
i386 mips mipsel mips64el powerpc powerpcspe ppc64 ppc64el s390x sparc64 x32],


That combination is explicitly forbidden by Policy, and will not
produce a useful result. (See https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/
ch-relationships.html#syntax-of-relationship-fields , specifically the
paragraph beginning "[f]or binary relationship fields".)
