Bug#164800: ITA: ivtools -- Vector Graphics Environment and Applications
Unfortunately I can't get ivtools to build until ace gets updated to new upstream version (see #317488). I've fixed the most of the open bugs so far. Some of the changes done so far: * ivtools-dev has been renamed to libiv0-dev * ivtools-interviews and ivtools-unidraw have been merged into package libiv0 * soname has been set on built libraries * files are installed under /usr instead of /usr/X11R6 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#164800: I don't know what to do with the rest of the build errors
tags 164800 + help thank you I wished that having a new version of ace would cull some of the build errors, but they still remain in there. I'm not sure what to do about them, having errors in files like /usr/include/c++/4.0.2/bits/locale_facets.tcc and /usr/include/sys/ucontext.h is quite disconcerting. Some of this may be caused by upstream's fondness of #define. Some errors are plain misuse of templates. I'll give this a rest and move on to some more pressing and fruitful things for now. If anybody else has any idea on how to fix these, I'll welcome their input. What I've got done so far has been put to mentors.debian.net. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#457373: ITP: pxsl -- Parsimonious XML Shorthand Language
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Kari Pahula <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* Package name: pxsl
Version : 1.0
Upstream Authors: Tom Moertel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Bill Hubauer <[EMAIL
PROTECTED]>
* URL : http://community.moertel.com/ss/space/PXSL
* License : GPLv2 or later
Programming Lang: Haskell
Description : Parsimonious XML Shorthand Language
PXSL ("pixel") provides XML authors and programmers with a simple,
concise syntax that they can use to create XML documents.
.
For more advanced users, PXSL offers customizable shortcuts and
sophisticated refactoring tools like functional macros that can
markedly reduce the size and complexity of markup-dense XML
documents.
.
The short version is this: PXSL is XML turned inside-out. Instead of
tagging the structure, you tag the non-structure, which is the better
approach when most of your information is structure.
.
Also, PXSL lets users intermix PXSL and XML syntax in one
document. Users are free to use whichever syntax works best for each
portion of their documents.

Debian distributes both programs and the libraries that they use, and they're interpreted as a collective work that would have to be on the terms of GPL if either libraries or the program were under GPL. This doesn't mean that all the libraries and the program would have to be under GPL itself, just that no part of the whole may prevent from applying a term in GPL or having a term that wouldn't be in GPL itself. Also, this would mean that distributing a program under GPL that uses OpenSSL is ok as long as you don't distribute OpenSSL along with the program. But this doesn't apply to Debian, since we'd distribute both. Conversely, a software giant in Redmond couldn't distribute GNU emacs along with their OS, since their proprietary C and system libraries would form a collective work that could not be under the terms of GPL. But anyone distributing emacs alone, ported for the said OS, wouldn't encounter any problems. But I digress. And this whole point is moot since it would be easiest to just disable OpenSSL support and use the already present MatrixSSL support instead. > You could omit PHP or we could configure it to run using CGI that > would avoid any license issue.

Wait a minute. I only saw a mention in AppWeb tarball that parts are under GoAhead Software Inc's copyright, not that GoAhead license applies to it. The portions for which this license applies to should be marked as such, not just that their copyright belongs to GoAhead Software Inc. I think we have a problem. I take that this is the license in question (it wasn't included with the tarball): http://webserver.goahead.com/webserver/license.htm ... 1.7 "Response Header" means the first portion of the response message output by the GoAhead WebServer, containing but not limited to, header fields for date, content-type, server identification and cache control. 1.8"Server Identification Field" means the field in the Response Header which contains the text "Server: GoAhead-Webs". ... 3.4 No Modifications to Server Identification Field. You agree not to remove or modify the Server identification Field contained in the Response Header as defined in Section 1.7 and 1.8.

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: yale Version : 3.4 Upstream Author : Ingo Mierswa et al. * URL : http://rapid-i.com/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: Java Description : environment for rapid prototyping of data mining applications YALE (Yet Another Learning Environment) is a flexible open-source tool for knowledge discovery, machine learning experiments, and data mining applications. Experiments can be made up of a large number of arbitrarily nestable operators and their setup is described by XML files which can easily be created with a graphical user interface. Applications of YALE cover both research and real-world data mining tasks. . A modular operator concept allows the design of complex nested operator chains for a huge number of learning problems. The data handling is transparent to the operators. They do not have to cope with the actual data format or different data views - the YALE core takes care of the necessary transformations. YALE is widely used by researchers and in industry. . Use YALE and explore your data! Simplify the construction of experiments and the evaluation of different approaches. Try to find the best combination of preprocessing and learning steps or let YALE do that automatically for you. The graphical user interface and the XML based scripting language turn YALE into an integrated development environment (IDE) for machine learning and data mining. Furthermore, this concept defines a standardized interchange format for data mining experiments. There is already a package called yale in Debian, so either one will need a new name. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name: factor Version : 0.81 Upstream Author : Slava Pestov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://factorcode.org/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: C, Factor Description : compiler for the concatenative language Factor Factor is a dynamic programming language. The end goal is to have a high performance, robust language for general-purpose client-side and server-side application development. . Factor is a natural evolution of Forth, combining Forth's simplicity and minimalism with a dynamically typed runtime supporting a Lisp-style object model and meta-programming. Factor also builds upon ideas from Joy, K, and Slate. . Language features: - Highly minimalist, very consistent design. No layers upon layers of indirection, no confusing corner-cases, no poorly-thought-out features. - Postfix syntax with an extensible parser; values are passed on the stack. - Higher-order programming allows code blocks to be treated as data and used as parameters. - A powerful and very generic collections library allows many algorithms to be expressed in terms of bulk operations without micro-management of elements, recursion, or loops. - A very consistent object model based on generic predicate dispatch. - Arithmetic operations that closely model mathematical concepts, rather than just being a thin abstraction over underlying machine arithmetic. All integer operations are done in arbitrary precision, and exact fractions are supported. Complex numbers and complex-valued elementary functions are integrated. - Continuations, exception handling. - Powerful and logical meta-programming facilities. Introspection, code generation and extension of both syntax and semantics is very easy. . Implementation features: - Live development environment allows code to be written and tested without restarting your application. Any object in the system can be inspected and modified, and any piece of code can be reloaded and replaced on the fly. - Optimizing compiler (x86, PowerPC, AMD64 backends). - Generational garbage collection. - Graphical user interface framework. - Hypertext online help. - Straightforward C library interface supporting callbacks. - Bindings for OpenGL, FreeType, X11 and Cocoa. - Static stack effect inference. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.6 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The ecpp-files are precompiled to c++-classes called components and compiled and linked into a shared library. This process is done at compiletime. The webserver Tntnet needs only the compiled componentlibrary. . Because the webapplications are compiled into native code, they are very fast and compact. . Components can call other components. So you can create buildingblocks of html-parts and call them in other pages like subprocesses. . Requests are parsed by tntnet and the request-information is easily accessible to the components. It supports GET and POST-parameters and Mime-multipart-requests for file-upload. . The templatelanguage has also support for internationalized applications. You can easily create webapplications for different languages. . Other features are: cookies, HTTP-upload, automatic request-parameter parsing and conversion, automatic sessionmanagement, scoped variables (application, request and session), internationalisation, keep-alive. . Logging is done through cxxtools, which provides a unique API for log4cpp, log4cxx or simple logging to files or console. . Tntnet is fully multithreaded and much work has been gone into making it scalable. It uses a dynamic pool of workerthreads, which answers requests from http-clients. . Ssl is supported via the openssl-library. Looks like there's no exception in tntnet's license to allow linking to the GPL incompatible openssl library. That'll still need to be addressed.

Bug#365240: ITP: seam -- virtual machine architecture and library
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Kari Pahula <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Package name: seam Version : 1.3.0 Upstream Authors : Thorsten Brunklaus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Leif Kornstaedt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Andreas Rossberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Guido Tack <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.ps.uni-sb.de/seam/ * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: C++ Description : virtual machine architecture and library SEAM (Simple Extensible Abstract Machine) is designed to be language- and platform-independent, to be simple and based on few principled services. - Uniform data representation and memory management. All datastructures used to represent computations, including code and threads, reside in an abstract store, which represents an abstract graph of data nodes. Language specific datastructures are modelled on top of the language-independent store structures. The store manages the allocation of nodes and their efficient layout in memory. - Platform-independent external representation. Store values are converted to a portable representation during export (pickling), and converted back during import (unpickling). A language-independent transfer language is defined to describe values independent from platform. Unpickling operates with respect to runtime-pluggable language-dependent transformation. For example, language specific code can be instantiated either to byte code or to native code. - Abstract execution model. Computations are defined by a generic evaluator interface. SEAM supports arbitrarily many codes and evaluators to be used at the same time and interact freely. In particular, common virtual machine services like foreign function interfaces are easily expressible. . SEAM is used successfully to implement the new virtual machine underlying the Alice Programming System. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.6 Locale: LANG=C, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#353353: Licensing problems with appWeb
Hello. I'm considering packaging appWeb for Debian, but have found a few problems with appWeb's licensing. To be more specific, not all parts of it are licensed under a GPL-compatible license, even though most of appWeb is under GPL. Portions of url.cpp are under Apache's license. There are a few different versions of that license, and it doesn't specify which one, but none are GPL compatible. The PHP modules in http/modules are licensed under PHP license, which is not GPL compatible. Also, the openssl module will link to the openssl library, which isn't GPL compatible, either. I'm not certain if using dlopen is enough to make openssl a separate work. I could avoid any GPL compatibility issues with the modules by just not compiling in the offending modules. But it would be possible to allow the use of non-GPL-compatible code by amending the license with an exception, explicitly allowing mixing it with the offending licenses. I've explained the situation before at http://bugs.debian.org/361010 But I'm not quite sure if changing the license is an option here, seeing that parts of appWeb are under GoAhead Software Inc's copyright. Unfortunately, I can't work as easily around url.cpp's apache license as with the modules. Otherwise I would just proceed with the technical side of packaging appWeb for Debian already. It's ultimately up to you what you would do with these issues. Obviously my opinion in this should not be taken as a legal advice, but I don't think that appWeb would be distributable in Debian as it is now. But being in the clear with regard to licensing would be your benefit, too. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

No. First time I've heard of that list. Besides, upstream's documentation mentioned that using preload during boot actually slowed down the boot.

Bug#325885: preload vs. readahead
Now that I've looked at readahead too I can say that that and preload have different and orthogonal purposes. readahead loads files into linux's file cache during a boot. preload is a daemon that examines programs when they are run and determines what libraries they link dynamically and files they open, typically, and loads those into the file cache when the program is run before they are needed. In fact, upstream's benchmarks have determined that using preload during the boot actually slows it down. There are speedups in starting heavy applications like openoffice or firefox. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Package: wnpp Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: tnt...@packages.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:tntnet I intend to orphan the tntnet package. Not in testing currently and unfortunately bookworm will likely not have it. The package description is: Tntnet has a template-language called ecpp similar to PHP, JSP or Mason, where you can embed c++ code inside a HTML page to generate active content. The ecpp files are precompiled to C++ classes called components and compiled and linked into a shared library. This process is done at compiletime. The web server Tntnet needs only the compiled component library. . Because the web applications are compiled into native code, they are very fast and compact. . Components can call other components. So you can create building blocks of HTML parts and call them in other pages like subprocesses. . Requests are parsed by tntnet and the request information is easily accessible to the components. It supports GET and POST parameters and MIME multipart requests for file upload. . The template language has also support for internationalized applications. You can easily create web applications for different languages. . Other features are: cookies, HTTP upload, automatic request parameter parsing and conversion, automatic session management, scoped variables (application, request and session), internationalisation and keep-alive. . Logging is done through cxxtools, which provides a unique API for log4cpp, log4cxx or simple logging to files or console. . Tntnet is fully multithreaded and much work has been gone into making it scalable. It uses a dynamic pool of worker threads, which answer requests from HTTP clients.

Bug#1063388: ITP: chuffed -- lazy clause generation CP solver
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Kari Pahula X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, debian-scie...@lists.debian.org * Package name: chuffed Version : 0.13.1 * URL : https://github.com/chuffed/chuffed * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: C++ Description : lazy clause generation CP solver Chuffed is a state of the art lazy clause solver designed from the ground up with lazy clause generation in mind. Lazy clause generation is a hybrid approach to constraint solving that combines features of finite domain propagation and Boolean satisfiability. It combines some of the advantages of finite domain constraint programming (high level model and programmable search) with some of the advantages of SAT solvers (reduced search by nogood creation, and effective autonomous search using variable activities). Chuffed only supports 3 different propagator priorities. Chuffed implements a number of global propagators (alldiff, inverse, minimum, table, regular, mdd, cumulative, disjunctive, circuit, difference). It also only supports two kinds of integer variables. Small integer variables for which the domain is represented by a byte string. And large integer variables for which the domain is represented only by its upper and lower bound (no holes allowed). All boolean variables and boolean constraints are handled by the builtin SAT solver. The solver, when run with lazy clause generation disabled, is somewhat comparable in speed with older versions of Gecode. The overhead from lazy clause generation ranges from negligible to perhaps around 100%. The search reduction, however, can reach orders of magnitude on appropriate problems. Thus lazy clause generation is an extremely important and useful technology. The easiest way to use Chuffed is as a backend to the MiniZinc constraint modelling language. Chuffed can also be used as a C++ library. The description is edited from upstream's description, it went into more detail than this about the implementation. For certain types of CP problems it works better than the alternatives. Chuffed is both a library and it provides a binary (fzn-chuffed). The library can be used as a dependency for both minizinc and minizinc-ide (which I maintain) and it provides an alternative flatzinc implementation for minizinc. I plan to maintain this under the Debian Science team. As of now upstream is building chuffed as a static library only but I'll try to convince them to provide a shared library before packaging it.

The data is stored in its natural binary form. The API is small and tries to stay "out of the way". Tpl can serialize many C data types, including structures. . Tpl makes a convenient file format. For example, suppose a program needs to store a list of user names and ids. This can be expressed using the format string "A(si)". If the program needs two such lists (say, one for regular users and one for administrators) this could be expressed as "A(si)A(si)". It is easy to read and write this kind of structured data using tpl. . Tpl can also be used as an IPC message format. It handles byte order issues and deframing individual messages off of a stream automatically. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#803636: ITP: hsakmt -- thunk library for AMD's HSA Linux kernel driver (amdkfd)
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Kari Pahula * Package name: hsakmt Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. * URL : http://cgit.freedesktop.org/amd/hsakmt/ * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: C Description : thunk library for AMD's HSA Linux kernel driver (amdkfd) hsakmt is a thunk library that provides a userspace interface to amdkfd (AMD's HSA Linux kernel driver). It is the HSA equivalent of libdrm. . Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA) is a computer processor architecture that integrates central processing units and graphics processors on the same bus, with shared memory and tasks. The HSA is being developed by the HSA Foundation, which includes (among many others) AMD and ARM. The platform's stated aim is to reduce communication latency between CPUs, GPUs and other compute devices, and make these various devices more compatible from a programmer's perspective, relieving the programmer of the task of planning the moving of data between devices' disjoint memories (as must currently be done with OpenCL or CUDA). This library is needed (along with hsa-runtime, ITP for that will follow later) to enable HSA features in AMD's Kaveri and Carrizo APUs. The amdkfd driver is already included in the mainline kernel.

Bug#791608: ITP: minizinc -- Constraint modelling language and tool chain
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Kari Pahula * Package name: minizinc Version : 2.0.4 Upstream Author : Guido Tack * URL : http://www.minizinc.org/ * License : MPL-2.0, MS-PL Programming Lang: C++ Description : constraint modelling language and tool chain MiniZinc is a medium-level constraint modelling language. It is high-level enough to express most constraint problems easily, but low-level enough that it can be mapped onto existing solvers easily and consistently. It is a subset of the higher-level language Zinc. . MiniZinc is designed to interface easily to different backend solvers. It does this by transforming an input MiniZinc model and data file into a FlatZinc model. FlatZinc models consist of variable declaration and constraint definitions as well as a definition of the objective function if the problem is an optimization problem. The translation from MiniZinc to FlatZinc is specializable to individual backend solvers, so they can control what form constraints end up in. In particular, MiniZinc allows the specification of global constraints by decomposition. I already maintain Gecode, which includes a FlatZinc interpreter. I intend to package minizinc and minizinc-ide to provide more use for Gecode. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#396049: ITP: alice -- Alice programming language
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Kari Pahula <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Package name: alice Version : 1.3.0 Upstream Author : Programming Systems Lab, Saarland University * URL : http://ps.uni-sb.de/alice/ * License : GPL, BSD-like Programming Lang: C++, SML, Alice Description : Alice programming language A functional programming language based on Standard ML, extended with support for concurrent, distributed, and constraint programming. The Alice ML language extends Standard ML with several new features: . - Futures: laziness and light-weight concurrency with data-flow synchronisation - Higher-order modules: higher-order functors and abstract signatures - Packages: integrating static with dynamic typing and first class modules - Pickling: higher-order type-safe, generic & platform-independent persistence - Components: platform-independence and type-safe dynamic loading of modules - Distribution: type-safe cross-platform remote functions and network mobility - Constraints: solving combinatorical problems using constraint propagation and programmable search I've been wanting to package this one for a long time already, and started looking into it this weekend. There's still a few issues that I'll have to resolve. The release tarballs at http://ps.uni-sb.de/alice/download/sources/ have the alice runtime system in compiled bytecode format only. Not having the source would fail DFSG, but fortunately it's available in the CVS. For security fixes' sake I'll retool the build system to compile the bytecode on debian/rules build and not just include the sources along with upstream's binary blobs. Also, Alice doesn't seem to be quite FHS compliant. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#400042: ITP: happs -- Haskell library for building Internet applications
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Kari Pahula <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Package name: happs Version : 0.8.4 Upstream Author : Alex Jacobson * URL : http://happs.org/ * License : BSD with advertising clause Programming Lang: Haskell Description : Haskell library for building Internet applications HAppS is a Haskell library for building industrial strength Internet applications safely, quickly, and easily. With HAppS you focus entirely on application functionality implemented in your favorite language and you don't have to worry about making sure all sorts of server subsystems are functioning properly. . - HTTP Application Server Performs better than Apache/PHP in our informal benchmarks (thanks to FastPackedString), handles serving both large (video) files and lazy (javascript) streaming, supports HTTP-Auth, and more. - Mail delivery agent with integrated DNS resolver Stop worrying about making sure a separate local mail server or DNS is up and running to delivery your mail. HAppS takes care of making sure your mail is delivered as long as your application itself is running and makes sure no outbound mail is lost even with unplanned restarts. - XML and XSLT Separate application logic from presentation using XML/XSLT. With HAppS, you can have your application output XML (via HTTP or SMTP) and handle style/presentation via separate XSLT files at runtime. HAppS takes care of doing server side XSLT for outbound mail and HTTP user-agents that don't support it client side. - SMTP Server Handle incoming email in your application without worrying about .procmail or other user level inbound mail configuration hackery. Just have the HAppS.SMTP listen on port 25 or have the system mail server SMTP forward mail for your app to some internal port. - Monadic ACID transaction service Write apps as a set of simple state transformers. MACID write-ahead logging and checkpointing make it easy for you to guarantee application integrity in the face of unplanned outages. MACID even guarantees that your side effects will be executed at-least-once if they can complete within a timelimit you define. - Session Service Define bits of per-user application state that automatically expire after time limits you define. No more manual housekeeping of session data! - (Experimental) Table and Index Do relational operations safely on in memory Haskell Data.Set(s) rather than dealing with an external SQL relational database. Define custom indices for your Haskell datatypes (e.g. geographic/geometric types). Use in combination with MACID for a robust relational DBMS customized for your application. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#400117: ITP: gecodej -- Java interface for the Gecode constraint programming library
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Kari Pahula <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Package name: gecodej Version : 1.0.1 Upstream Author : Mikael Lagerkvist, Guido Tack * URL : http://www.gecode.org/gecodej/index.html * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: C++, Java Description : Java interface for the Gecode constraint programming library Gecode/J is a Java interface for the Gecode C++ constraint programming library. It allows you to . - Model and solve constraint problems in Java. - Explore the search tree with Gist, the Graphical Interactive Search Tool. Either using the built-in depth-first search strategy, or manually and interactively. Solutions and choice nodes can be inspected by clicking on them, and visualized using custom actions. - Implement propagators in Java. Whether for prototyping, for teaching, or just for fun. The propagators are integrated fully, so in your model you can mix them freely with the built-in propagators provided by Gecode. - Implement branchings for custom heuristics. Just like propagators, custom branchings fully integrate into Gecode/J. - Implement search engines using copying and recomputation. As search is fully programmable, you can write your own search engine, e.g. for LDS or A* search. In fact, Gist is implemented entirely in Java using the Gecode/J interface. Depends on Sun's Java, so this'll have to go to contrib until the license is changed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#262922: Retitle small => pawn & license review
retitle 262922 RFP: pawn -- The PAWN scripting language thanks SMALL has been renamed as PAWN. I also checked through PAWN version 3.2.3664 (released on 2006-11-11) to see how it would fare licensewise. I've sent an email about the following issues to upstream, too. * source/amx/amxjitr.asm * source/amx/amxjits.asm * source/amx/amxjitsn.asm These three files have (C) 1999-2000, Marc Peter; beta version; provided AS IS WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES as their only licensing and copyright statement. While it would seem to be safe to assume that the intent is to have them licensed under the simple, permissive license that some other of Marc's files are under, they still ought to have an explicit statement to that effect. * source/compiler/memfile.c * source/compiler/memfile.h The only licensing and copyright statement for these two files is Copyright (c) faluco / http://www.amxmodx.org/, 2006 No license is presented for them. * source/compiler/scexpand.c * source/compiler/scpack.c These files are from September 1997 issue of C/C++ Users Journal. They are Copyright 1996 Philip Gage. No license as far as I could see. * source/linux/getch.c * source/linux/getch.h * source/linux/sclinux.h No copyright or license statement. The files could IMHO use one, since they're not quite nontrivial. * include/ There are several files in here that have only this statement, besides a copyright statement: This file is provided as is (no warranties). This doesn't quite provide a license for anything. Stating the same license that the rest of files under ITB CompuPhase's copyright would seem like the safest thing to do to them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#928903: ITP: piperka-client -- Mobile oriented web comics reader client
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Kari Pahula * Package name: piperka-client Version : 0.2.1 Upstream Author : Kari Pahula * URL : https://gitlab.com/piperka/client * License : GPLv2 or later Programming Lang: C++ Description : Mobile oriented web comics reader client Piperka is a web comic tracking and bookmarking service with over 6000 comics listed on it. It doesn't host any web comics by itself but maintains a list of them and an index of their archive pages. . Piperka Client uses Piperka's database to provide browsing and navigation for web comics' archives in a unified manner with an embedded browser. It stores user's bookmarks and periodically contacs the server to check for any updates to the comics that a user reads. . This program is geared towards mobile use. I originally wrote this app for Sailfish and then implemented a generic Qt mobile oriented version of it, mainly to get it to Android. Packaging it for Debian is a low hanging fruit so why not. I haven't actually tagged a 0.2.1 yet but will do so soon.
