Hi,
Unfortunately there is no progress so far from my side.
Are you interested in the development ?

2011-11-17 Thread Alex Mestiashvili
Package: wnpp
Owner: Alex Mestiashvili

* Package name: libdancer-session-cookie-perl
  Version : 0.15
  Upstream Author : Alex Kapranoff
* URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Dancer-Session-Cookie/
* License : Artistic or GPL-1
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : Encrypted cookie-based session backend for Dancer

 Dancer::Session::Cookie implements a session engine for sessions stored
 entirely in cookies. Usually only session id is stored in cookies and the
 session data itself is saved in some external storage, e.g. database. This
 module allows one to avoid using external storage at all.
 .
 Since server cannot trust any data returned by client in cookies, this
module
 uses cryptography to ensure integrity and also secrecy. The data your
 application stores in sessions is completely protected from both tampering
 and analysis on the client-side.

You can go ahead with a similar change in cufflinks any time you like.

Have a nice day,

   

Hello ,
Thank you .
Cufflinks in the git repository appears to be lintian clean .
The manual pages were missing , but each tool provides a help , so I 
converted them with help2man and edited a bit for the better appearance .

Hi Carlos,

Sorry for such a long delay and thank you a lot for the patch.
Actually I though that it was a bad idea to package such a small script
and it won't get into Debian anyway.
But after short googling I found out that quite some people are
interested in this code and there is even an implementation in C.
So may be it will be useful as the debian package.
I'll update the package as soon as I have some time for it.

Best regards,
Alex

Marco, do you have any plans for using this scheme as an option or as

This is implemented in the biosdevname package, which I think we should
get into Debian.  I got it into Ubuntu a while back, but have been
neglecting to sync up Debian.  Alex, what's the progress of your ITP

(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/biosdevname), which in turn was
somewhat based on the packaging provided by upstream?

   

I liked the idea of biosdevname and use it for my hardware .

 Seq-Gen is a program that will simulate the evolution of nucleotide

 substitution process. A range of models of molecular evolution are
 implemented including the general reversible model. State frequencies
 and other parameters of the model may be given and site-specific rate
 heterogeneity may also be incorporated in a number of ways. Any number
 of trees may be read in and the program will produce any number of data
 sets for each tree. Thus large sets of replicate simulations can be
 easily created. It has been designed to be a general purpose simulator
 that incorporates most of the commonly used
 (and computationally tractable) models of molecular sequence evolution.

Hi,

I'd be happy to step in as (co-)maintainer, or, if you prefer, we could
move the package to the pkg-rpm team, where the recently packaged
libdrpm and libzchunk depend on it.

Thanks a lot for taking care of libzstd in Debian!

G'luck,

Hi Peter,

Thank you! Yes, moving to pkg-rpm sounds good to me.
I can then try to join the pkg-rpm team in order to co-maintain libzstd.

What need to be done from my side to move it to the pkg-rpm namespace on 
salsa.d.o ?

@Andreas, can we just move the git repo? is there a procedure for that?

  Programming Lang: C
  Description : Spin down idle [USB] hard disks

hd-idle is a utility program for spinning-down external disks after a period
of idle time. Since most external IDE disk enclosures don't support setting
the IDE idle timer, a program like hd-idle is required to spin down idle disks
automatically.
.
A word of caution: hard disks don't like spinning up too often. Laptop disks
are more robust in this respect than desktop disks but if you set your disks
to spin down after a few seconds you may damage the disk over time due to the
stress the spin-up causes on the spindle motor and bearings. It seems that
manufacturers recommend a minimum idle time of 3-5 minutes, the default in
hd-idle is 10 minutes.
.
One more word of caution: hd-idle will spin down any disk accessible via the
SCSI layer (USB, IEEE1394, ...) but it will not work with real SCSI disks
because they don't spin up automatically. Thus it's not called scsi-idle and
I don't recommend using it on a real SCSI system unless you have a kernel
patch that automatically starts the SCSI disks after receiving a sense buffer
indicating the disk has been stopped. Without such a patch, real SCSI disks
won't start again and you can as well pull the plug.


Some drives, do not support spin down via hdparm, but can be spun down
using hd-idle.
The package will be maintained under collab-maint on salsa.



Bug#927419: Subject: ITP: libtest-mockdatetime-perl -- mock DateTime->now calls during tests

2019-04-19 Thread Alex Mestiashvili
Package: wnpp
Owner: Alexandre Mestiashvili 
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, debian-p...@lists.debian.org

* Package name: libtest-mockdatetime-perl
  Version : 0.02-1
  Upstream Author : Wolfgang Kinkeldei 
* URL : https://metacpan.org/release/Test-MockDateTime
* License : Artistic or GPL-1+
  Programming Lang: Perl
  Description : mock DateTime->now calls during tests

 Getting the current time sometimes is not very helpful for testing
 scenarios. Instead, if you could obtain a known value during the
 runtime of a testcase will make your results predictable.
 .
 This module allows faking a given date and time for the runtime of a
 subsequent code block. By default the on keyword is exported into the
 namespace of the test file. The date to get mocked must be in a format
 that is recognized by DateTime::Format::DateParse.

This package is a dependency for Dancer2::Plugin::Auth::Extensible and
will be maintained under the Debian Perl Group umbrella.

Hi Andrius,

My poor understanding is that IUPAC-InChI Trust License is not perfectly
worded LGPL which suppose to be more permissive then LGPL and thus is
DFSG compatible.

>From the official site:
https://iupac.org/who-we-are/divisions/division-details/inchi/

The InChITM program version 1.04 is free software developed under the
auspices of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry
(IUPAC) and the InChI Trust. You can redistribute it and/or modify it
under the terms of the IUPAC-InChI Trust License (PDF). This is a more
permissive version of the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1
that was applied to previous versions of the software.

Here are few mail threads regarding attempts to make the license more
permissive:

Initial request:

 https://sourceforge.net/p/inchi/mailman/message/25847235/

3 years later version 1.04 is released under modified LGPL which allows
static linking with non-free software:

Bug#902010: ITP: krop -- tool to crop PDF files

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

X-Debbugs-Cc: ames...@rsh2.donotuse.de, debian-de...@lists.debian.org

* Package name: krop
  Version : 0.5.0
  Upstream Author : Armin Straub 
* URL : https://github.com/arminstraub/krop
* License : GPLv3+
  Programming Lang: Python 3
  Description : tool to crop PDF files

 simple graphical tool to crop the pages of PDF files. It is written
 in Python and relies on PyQT, python-poppler-qt4 and pyPDF for its
 functionality.
 .
 A unique feature of krop is its ability to automatically split
 pages into subpages to fit the limited screen size of devices such as
 eReaders. This is particularly useful, if your eReader does not support
 convenient scrolling.

This package will be maintained under Debian namespace on salsa.

Sorry, that's a typo, the package is using qt5 packages.

Hi Sebastien,

if this is a python module then it should follow python guidelines.
The name in this case should be python3-orthanc, see LibraryStyleGuide:
https://wiki.debian.org/Python/LibraryStyleGuide

After building and installing orthanc-python I can't import orthanc from
python3 most likely because python doesn't know where to find it.
By following the python packaging guidelines this problem will be solved.

I'd remove Resources/Builders/ via files-excluded in d/copyright since
these files are not relevant for Debian as far as I see.

There is no need in empty d/patches/

d/watch, is there need for +dfsg suffix ? If I run uscan
--force-download it downloads and repacks tarball without dfsg suffix.

Some files have trailing white space, which is a bit annoying, but this
is already nitpicking :)
 - d/control
 - d/copyright

Best regards,
Alex
