Bug#320961: O: cabot -- set of helper scripts for GPG/PGP keysigning paperwork -- optional

2005-08-02 Thread Laurent Fousse
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I orphan cabot. The software works fine but it needs upstream work
that I'm no longer interested to do. Now that we have the
signing-party package in debian cabot has become less useful. IMO it
may be removed if nobody steps forward to take it over (it was never
part of a stable release).

Bug#322534: ITP: mpfi -- multiple precision floating-point interval computation

2005-08-11 Thread Laurent Fousse
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Laurent Fousse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

* Package name: mpfi
  Version : 1.3.3
  Upstream Authors : Nathalie Revol, Fabrice Rouillier (email ommited)
* URL : http://perso.ens-lyon.fr/nathalie.revol/software.html
* License : LGPL 2.1 or later
  Description : multiple precision floating-point interval computation

 The basic principle of interval arithmetic consists in enclosing every number
 by an interval containing it and being representable by machine numbers: for
 instance it can be stored as its lower and upper endpoints and these bounds
 are machine numbers, or as a centre and a radius which are machine numbers.
 .
 The arithmetic operations are extended for interval operands in such a way
 that the exact result of the operation belongs to the computed interval.
 .
 The purpose of an arbitrary precision interval arithmetic is on the one hand
 to get guaranteed results, thanks to interval computation, and on the other
 hand to obtain accurate results, thanks to multiple precision arithmetic. The
 MPFI library is built upon MPFR in order to benefit from the correct roundings
 provided by MPFR. Further advantages of using MPFR are its portability and
 compliance with the IEEE 754 standard for floating-point arithmetic.

It is a library. The source package is called `mpfi', the binary
package is called `libmpfi-dev' (only a static library is provided).
So with the package name, section (libdevel) and last paragraph of
description this will be fairly obvious it is a library. But I am open
to improvements to the description (maybe the first two paragraphs
could be made shorter, but on first glance I thought the concept of
interval arithmetics was worth explaining).

I chose the mpfi/libmpfi-dev naming convention as was done for mpfr,
see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=276085.

Bug#464444: O: megahal -- conversation simulator that can learn as you talk to it

2008-02-06 Thread Laurent Fousse
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the megahal package.

The package description is:
 Conversation simulators are computer programs which give the appearance of
 conversing with a user in natural language. Such programs are effective
 because they exploit the fact that human beings tend to read much more
 meaning into what is said than is actually there; we are fooled into reading
 structure into chaos, and we interpret non-sequitur as valid conversation.
 .
 MegaHAL differs from conversation simulators such as Eliza in that it uses
 a Markov Model to learn how to hold a conversation. It is possible to
 teach MegaHAL to talk about new topics, and in different languages.
 .
 This package contains the megahal binary, and for your scripting
 pleasure modules for perl, python and tcl.

I'll try to clean my changes a bit (the package was a native source

If you mean the patch I've sent in #169805, it has not been included
as such my package. I moved the patch from the megahal end user
program to the "megahal library", it's probably cleaner.

It's a compromise:

   might get upset.

It's okay for me if you want to join the three in the same package,
with an udpated description that states this clearly.

Thanks to Martin F. Krafft. It's not an easy choice, Games or even
Apps/Text could almost fit. Apps/Science is probably the better
choice.

I read through upgrading-checklist. 10.1 is more or less implemented
using a template debian/rules for another package. But it need further
examination, to be sure.

When I first started hacking I made a diff between latest CVS and
9.1.0, which was almost empty. My package are based on latest CVS and
I forgot to update the upstream version to 9.1.0 in the package.

Having a new upstream release is a good idea, it's on my TODO list,
but don't expect my work to be done before monday.

I've changed the python interface part using a template found in

  Version : 0.0.20041015
  Upstream Author : Joost van Baal 
* URL : http://mdcc.cx/software/
* License : GPL
  Description : monitor your system and warn when system files change

 Systraq daily sends you an email listing the state of your system.
 Furthermore, if critical files have changed, you'll get an email within a
 shorter notice. Systraq consists of few very small shell scripts.
 .
 It can help you implementing a not too strict security policy.  For more
 demanding systems, you'd better use something like tripwire. Make sure you
 really want to do the monitoring this script offers: it might not comply with
 your site's privacy policy. Getting informed when users' config file change
 might be too intrusive. 
 .
 Other similar tools are available in Debian (`diffmon' for instance), but
 systraq is less intrusive because it can warn for file changes without mailing
 a complete diff (which is not desirable for e.g. /etc/shadow).

systraq does send diff where it makes sense, so maybe it's a benefit
over checksecurity here (I don't use it).

Moreover, systraq makes debsums nicely integrated. I don't know if the

Several releases happened, but the situation of the source code with
respect to patent issues did not evolve AFAIK:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2695917

So I'm no longer interested in packaging Pixie since it would not be
suitable for debian anyway (or even for release by upstream for that
matter).

Radim, you can close this bug, or leave it open in the hope that the
situation changes.

Please update the description to verbosely explain how this is such a
terrible idea to use this package unless you really know what you're
doing.

This is not the final synopsis, is it? It should not start with a
capital, not repeat the package name etc.

I'd suggest a longer long description for the final version, because
so far I don't know what it's about (I didn't want to cheat and look
at the website).
