Bug#323855: ITP: opencvs -- OpenBSD CVS implementation withspecial emphasis in security

The OBSD crowd have reimplemented many important subsystems because they do not consider GPL-like licenses to be free enough. Yes, also because of technical reasons, but in this case it seems to be about (their version of) freedom.

Do they have such a project? They do - They have replaced important parts of their system which were GPLed or under other non-BSD licenses (the first and most obvious example is OpenSSH, but there are many others, as simple as their own implementation of compress/gzip). Take a look at the OBSD policies [1] - I quote a bit: The GNU Public License and licenses modeled on it impose the restriction that source code must be distributed or made available for all works that are derivatives of the GNU copyrighted code. While this may be a noble strategy in terms of software sharing, it is a condition that is typically unacceptable for commercial use of software. As a consequence, software bound by the GPL terms can not be included in the kernel or "runtime" of OpenBSD, though software subject to GPL terms may be included as development tools or as part of the system that are "optional" as long as such use does not result in OpenBSD as a whole becoming subject to the GPL terms. > And why should Debian be concerned one way or the other? If they provide any added value, any better code, we should import it into Debian. If they just provide the same but in a different way, why bother? > Anyhow, if something comes of this project, Debian will probably need > to include the package, but we will also have to make sure it doesn't > get called "cvs" (since it is going to have a different interface), > and we'll have to do extra integration work.

Bug#440527: libmath-pari-perl not currently buildable
Hi, 439339 cannot be closed until 440527 is (i.e. until libmath-pari-perl is included in Debian) - But building libmath-pari-perl is not trivial, as it insists on including the sources for GP/PARI: 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/tmp/Math-Pari-2.010709$ perl Makefile.PL Did not find GP/PARI build directory around. Do you want to me to fetch GP/PARI automatically? (If you do not, you will need to fetch it manually, and/or direct me to the directory with GP/PARI source via the command-line option paridir=/dir) Make sure you have a large scrollback buffer to see the messages, or `tee' the STDOUT/STDERR to a file. Fetch? (y/n, press Enter) n Well, as you wish... Rerun Makefile.PL when you fetched GP/PARI archive manually to the current directory, or a (grand)parent directory of it. [Keep in mind that version of Math::Pari module corresponds to the last versions of GP/PARI it was tested with.] Alternatively, you may specify pari_tgz=PATH_TO_TAR_GZ option to Makefile.PL. (There is no need to extract the archive, or build GP/PARI; but if you have it extracted [and patched, if needed], you may specify paridir=PATH_TO_DIST_DIR option to Makefile.PL) Could not find GP/PARI build directory, please run Makefile.PL with paridir=/directory option. As the build process should not depend on network connectivity (and this looks like an invitation for a sudden FTBFS), we cannot say 'y' to fetching this file; we could include it as part of our .diff.gz, but that'd really be suboptimal - Not in small part, because that would mean basically statically linking it. Curiously, the package does not build even with libpari-dev installed - It _does_ require the full sources (i.e. the test suite, at least): $ perl Makefile.PL paridir=/usr/include/pari/ Setting up Math::Pari with Perl 5.008008 on linux version 2.6.17-2-vserver-amd64; cc=cc, gccversion=4.2.3 20071014 (prerelease) (Debian 4.2.2-3), ccflags='-D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64', ld=cc, ldflags=' -L/usr/local/lib', optimize='-O2'.

Trying extract from the directory name... Directory `/usr/include/pari' has unknown syntax... Found GP/PARI build directory in /usr/include/pari (integer-formatted version /usr/include/pari). Cannot find tests in /usr/include/pari/src/test/in: No such file or directory at utils/Math/PariBuild.pm line 513. There are only two ways out for this: The first (and better, IMHO), would be to ask Math::PARI's upstream (Ilya Zakharevich) to fix his building not to require this (or to explain the rationale for the requirement). As soon as this message is recorded in the BTS, I'll copy it to CPAN's tracker. The second way out is to request from libpari's maintainer, Bill Alombert, to become maintainer for libmath-pari-perl as well (maybe joining or co-maintaining with the pkg-perl group?).

Unlike Guus', my argument does is not that we have enough small http servers - Even if features are duplicated, people will prefer one over another because the configuration is easier to grok (being «grokability» a merely subjective quality) or because they are implemented using their language or paradigm of choice. Maybe the same feature-set will be implemented in such a different way there is value in having different packages. I'm nobody to judge. But the user should not have to install 10 small HTTP servers just to know what's the goddamn difference. That's extremely unhelpful from us. We should tell the prospective user at a first glance why he wants one httpd over another.

Hi, I do recommend the pkg-perl group _NOT_ to pick this one up. I tried to use this for an application I was working on a long time ago - It was (upstream-wise) quite buggy, not up to date with the current gstreamer version... A QA nightmare. As Julien said, it _does_ require a fairly good knowledge of Perl - And I'm sure it requires quite a good knowledge of XS and C to get the bindings right, and a good knowledge of a complex framework as GStreamer. Currently, no packages depend on libgstreamer-perl. I see Marc finally updated it to 0.10 (which means part of my outdatedness apreciation might no longer apply - but then again, only one upload in 18 months having FTBFS bugs _does_ speak about the package being undermaintained. It has a very low popcon count, and it is only part of sid - It hass never been in a stable release. So, I'd rather ask - Is it worth keeping this package?

Bug#499196: Packaging a module built with libinline-ruby
Hi, I just sent an ITP for libimage-science-ruby [1,2], and have the package basically ready for upload (in fact, just after this mail I will polish some details, and inject it into our packages-wip). However, there is something that bugs me regarding this module - and that will probably reflect on bugs on other packages :-/ libimage-science-ruby basically provides a thin layer, providing Ruby access to some functinos of the FreeImage library (see pkg libfreeimage-dev). This is done by embedding C code through libinline-ruby. Building the package is very easy and straightforward, and everything is joyous so far. However (why must there always be a catch?), when first running any code using this library, we get this: 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] time ruby -e 'require "image_science"' real 0m3.165s user 0m0.408s sys0m0.092s 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] time ruby -e 'require "image_science"' real 0m0.089s user 0m0.072s sys0m0.016s Why? Simple: because the inline code must be compiled. So: 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] find .ruby_inline/ .ruby_inline/ .ruby_inline/Inline_ImageScience_aa58.so .ruby_inline/Inline_ImageScience_aa58.c The C file is generated from the Ruby module - And it's quite nicely generated, pointing to its original location and all. And if I delete the directory, it will be resurrected - all nice, all happy. However, IMHO it's not adequate for a Debian package. First, this might lead to _very_ long startup times when dealing with slightly more complex code and on slower architectures. Second, this creates -although in the user's home directory- a set of pseudo-source and object files which are not managed via dpkg. But third, and most important, because some users will not have the right to create files in their home directories - I'm thinking, i.e., about users hosting webapps (yes, I'm that pesky Rails guy again). Obscure messages will be given in this case: 1 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/gwolf# su - nobody -c 'ruby -e "require \"image_science\""' No directory, logging in with HOME=/ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/inline.rb:325:in `mkdir': Permission denied - /.ruby_inline (Errno::EACCES) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/inline.rb:325:in `build' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/inline.rb:709:in `inline' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/image_science.rb:84 from -e:1:in `require' from -e:1 There are ways around this, although I'm not exactly happy with them: We can set an environment variable INLINEDIR [3], so that the directory is under /tmp or something like that: 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/gwolf# su - nobody -c 'export INLINEDIR=$(mktemp -d);ruby -e "require \"image_science\""' But of course, this will incur in compiling overhead at each invocation. And there are many possible ways out, but they are always left for the admin to decide/solve. What I would favor is to provide a mechanism analog to Python's byte-compilation - but right now, this could mean some hackery on top of Inline. This would amount to specifying a directory where modules should be compiled to at install time (and purged from at purge time), and where Inline would search for object files, probably at a lower precedence than ~/.ruby_inline. This would, of course, solve the particular problem for this module, for which the inlined C code is statically included as strings in the module source, although would be useless on cases where the compiled code is dynamically generated - but I think most of the uses would fall into the first category. Then again, this might be just overkill... I can also just ship this, with the issue (and workarounds) documented in README.Debian. As for other packages using Inline: Currently, only two packages depend on libinline-ruby1.8: libvalidatable-ruby1.8 and libparsetree-ruby1.8. I even think libvalidatable-ruby1.8's dependency is spurious, just at a quick glance: 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/tmp/libvalidatable-ruby-1.6.7$ grep -ri inline .|grep -v debian ./rakefile.rb: task.options << "--line-numbers" << "--inline-source" As for libparsetree-ruby1.8, it has the exact same effect I described earlier. So... To make a long mail short: Do you think documenting the issue is enough? Is an inlined code tracker overkill? Or does it look useful?

If so, why ? Do the Jruby versions somehow map to the Ruby versions? If I'm not mistaken, Jruby (and IronRuby) versions aimed at compatibility with specific Ruby language releases - and the only Ruby language specification is the main implementation itself. So, does JRuby 1.2 provide a bigger/different API than 1.0? Which one is closer to the main implementation 1.8? 1.9? Now, if JRuby 1.2 (say) implements 1.9 and JRuby 1.0 implements 1.8, possibly the (so far main) implementation should be renamed to only provide libruby1.8, so that also JRuby can satisfy it? -- Gunnar Wolf - gw...@gwolf.org - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#302278: ITP: libuser-identity-perl -- manages different identities/roles used for email
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Gunnar Wolf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Package name: libuser-identity-perl
Version : 0.90
Upstream Author : Mark Overmeer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://perlovermeer.net/userid/
* License : GPL + artistic
Description : manages different identities/roles used for email
The "Mail::Identity" object contains the description of role played by
a human when sending e-mail. Most people have more than one role these
days: for instance, a private and a company role with different e-mail
addresses.
An "Mail::Identity" object combines an e-mail address, user description
("phrase"), a signature, pgp-key, and so on. All fields are optional,
and some fields are smart. One such set of data represents one role.
"Mail::Identity" is therefore the smart cousine of the Mail::Address
object.
This module is required by the new upstream version of libmail-box-perl,
already in the archive.

Right now, you have this package in the archive: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show gnuhtml2latex Package: gnuhtml2latex Priority: optional Section: text Installed-Size: 60 Maintainer: Gunnar Wolf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: all Version: 0.2-2 Depends: perl, libhtml-parser-perl Filename: pool/main/g/gnuhtml2latex/gnuhtml2latex_0.2-2_all.deb Size: 6928 MD5sum: 70b760ee8bad9b108a27c6f745833f0b Description: A Perl script that converts html files to latex gnuhtml2latex is a Perl script that converts html files to latex files. It takes list of .html files as arguments and make .tex ones. Can also convert html stdin to latex stdout. Now, as the author says in the header: It is VERY ALPHA. It kind of works, but is far from perfect. I adopted this package a long time ago (Jun 2003), and there is no upstream activity at all. I have no bug reports. Please compare html2latex to this package to see if they provide the same functionality or if one of them contains the other one.

If you want to replace my package, please provide a "replaces" for it, and I'll file a bug on ftp.debian.org to remove it.
