And I +have been a Mandrake, then Mandriva, and lately Mageia user. Though I +have been for some time users of other distributions, like Ubuntu, +Debian, Gentoo and some less known derivatives. Anyway I have never +packaged a rpm up to today (I have only one experience of an .deb +package) but have always wanted to do so because I regularly have to +install manually softwares in my /usr/local (either because I can't +find them, or because Mageia packages are outdated, or finally because +the packaging is broken). So I finally decided to give it a go and +propose my candidature. + +Note that I don't intend to be a "full time" packager. As I said, I +develop. And I have other activities. So I don't have enough time to +do everything unfortunately. I will prefer to focus on the few +packages I encounter problems with (or softwares I develop). + +I already have a small TODO list (all the ones I needed and had to +install myself recently): + +- Alchemy: <A HREF="http://al.chemy.org/">http://al.chemy.org/</A> +An interesting experimental drawing software. + +- odns: <A HREF="http://odns.tuxfamily.org/">http://odns.tuxfamily.org/</A> +An OCaml library I maintain, for querying DNS servers, accompanied by +a CLI querying tool. + +- cinelerra: <A HREF="http://cinelerra.org/">http://cinelerra.org/</A> +A video editor + +- gstreamermm: <A HREF="http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/bindings/cplusplus.html">http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/bindings/cplusplus.html</A> +C++ binding to gstreamer + +- xcftools: <A HREF="http://henning.makholm.net/software">http://henning.makholm.net/software</A> +A CLI tool to manipulate XCF (Gimp) files. + +- FAAC: <A HREF="http://www.audiocoding.com/faac.html">http://www.audiocoding.com/faac.html</A> +MPEG-4 and MPEG-2 AAC encoder + +- subtitle editor: <A HREF="http://home.gna.org/subtitleeditor/">http://home.gna.org/subtitleeditor/</A> +A tool to edit and create subtitles. + +- cld (compact language detector): +<A HREF="http://code.google.com/p/chromium-compact-language-detector/">http://code.google.com/p/chromium-compact-language-detector/</A> +The language detector extracted from the Chromium code and packaged +into its own self-contained library. I am one of the main committer on +this library. +It also has a Python binding (which would make a separate package). + +- tinysegmenter: <A HREF="http://lilyx.net/tinysegmenter-in-python/">http://lilyx.net/tinysegmenter-in-python/</A> +A Japanese segmenter in Python. I completely repackaged it with an +actual setup.py but the author is not responding. So I guess I am +going to open a separate repository somewhere and will be the +maintainer on it (I am already the pypi maintainer: +<A HREF="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tinysegmenter">http://pypi.python.org/pypi/tinysegmenter</A> ). + +And I guess that's it for now. +Hope that's a good start. :-) + +Jehan +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="018724.html">[Mageia-dev] Real Time Kernel version +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="018706.html">[Mageia-dev] Looking for a Packager mentor +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#18705">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#18705">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#18705">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#18705">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
