GBlearn 2 and lush2.0.1

Eduardo Bellani — 2011-04-06T20:26:21

Hello list

This is my first email to the list, and Im sorry to come with problems
for you guys :)

I am interested in using the gblearn framework to build OCR recognition
software in bad conditions (think CAPTCHA) for a research I am
conducting, and I have a small lisp background, so lush seemed like a
great asset.

But the code for lenet and gblearn itself does not work with the latest
lush version. Comparing the 2.0.1 code with the code at the CVS, which I
suspect is from lush 1.0, I have managed to track the problem down to
the load-matrix function, and I just used this line on the index.c file
to solve the immediate problem :

   /* little fix to resolve the load-matrix not found error . */
   dx_define("load-matrix", xload_array);
   /* END FIX */

The problem is, the more I investigated the diffs between the indexes
from the different versions, the more it became clear that there were
great differences between the version regarding matrixes (or arrays as
they are now called in the index.c).

I am writ

configure --without-readline

Ralf Juengling — 2011-01-02T02:18:16

I just tried building lush without readline support. It looks like that is 
not possible anymore, not sure it ever was. Anyways, this turns out to be 
another road block for OS X users.

Any volunteers out there who would help with supporting '--without-readline'
builds?

Happy New Year!

1.2.1-8+cvs20101229  got uploaded into Debian experimental.

Do you think it would be of benefit for you if I provide backports of lush for
all Debian/Ubuntu releases from our http://neuro.debian.net repository?

I have moved packaging from elderly SVN to GIT:
http://git.onerussian.com/?p=deb/lush.git;a=summary

Here is the list of changes in packaging:

lush (1.2.1-8+cvs20101229) experimental; urgency=low

  * Fresh upstream CVS snapshot -- might be the last one in lush 1.x
    series:
    - supports Renesas SH(sh4) (Closes: #574258). Thanks Nobuhiro Iwamatsu
      for the patch
  * debian/copyright: switched to DEP5 format
  * debian/compat,control: dh compat version 7
  * debian/control:
    - Policy boost to 3.9.1 (no changes seems to be due)
  * debian/patches,source,control: switch to 3.0 (quilt) source format
    from dpatch
  * debian/rules,...: simplifying to take advantage of dh7

ANN: Lush 2.0 released

Ralf Juengling — 2010-12-30T15:31:10

All,

Lush 2.0 is finally out and available as source at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lush/files/lush2/lush-2.0.tar.gz

There are no major new features since beta2 but a number of bugs
have been fixed. Thanks to all who reported bugs, in particular to
Fabian.

For the future I am planning to release more frequently and target
more moderate goals for each release. For Lush 2.1 I plan to further
improve the gnuplot interface and to make Lush work on OS X 10.6.

Cheers,
Ralf

Are you talking about a reference, as in a scientific paper?
We generally refer to the Lush manual, with a link to the 
main Lush website:

canonical reference/citation for LUSH

Yaroslav Halchenko — 2010-12-29T20:13:59

Sorry if I am repeating myself (didn't find email, so I could have asked
that before):

what would be the canonical reference you would like people to use for
referencing lush?

http://lush.sourceforge.net/credits.html

Re: finalizing the Lush 2.0 release

Yaroslav Halchenko — 2010-12-29T20:07:22

I am updating Debian packaging...

what would be the up-to-date copyright statement... i.e. who is
holding the copyright for works on lush 1.x since 2002?  May be
./COPYRIGHT could be updated ;)

Ok, let me check if everything is building fine and update packaging.
If everything looks fine, would you mind releasing official
"release" (1.2.2? or 1.3.0?) so we do not ship something like
1.2.1+cvs20101228 ;-)

[quotes order reversed]
Exactly ;) I have not done any work on lush package for a while ;)  But
thank you!

Hi Ralf,

I'm really excited about Lush-2.0 getting close to a release!

I am very thankful for all the work you put into this 
project, and I'm sure many people on this list are too.

Hi Yari,

Before you hand over the babysitting of the Debian version, I think it
would be great to make one last release of Lush 1.x: just getting a
snapshot of the current CVS and making a release/debian package.

The current Debian package is quite a bit out of date.

Thanks for all your nice work!

Yaroslav Halchenko — 2010-12-28T01:24:28

Hi all,

may be  someone is willing to take over the packaging effort of lush for
Debian(/Ubuntu) ? I am not sure if I would have adequate time to
maintain it, but I could mentor/sponsor your work into Debian, and I
guess you could simply tune up existing packaging for lush 1.2.1 which
is now in Debian.

On a related note, I disabled the Bug Tracker on the lush project page.
I had wanted to do this for a while since nobody seems to look at it
and tons of spam had been posted to it. As an alternative there is Trac
where people can create tickets for defects or enhancement requests.
Trac is accessible from lush's SF project page.

finalizing the Lush 2.0 release

Ralf Juengling — 2010-12-27T22:44:07

Hi all,

I have been fixing a number of lush 2.0 bugs over the last
couple of days and want to do the lush 2.0 release soon.

If any of you have access to other platforms than a current
Ubuntu linux I would appreciate it if you would try to build
it on your system (I know there are problems with OS X 10.6).
Here is the tarball:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lush/files/lush2/lush-2.0.tar.gz/download

If I don't hear from anyone about build problems or otherwise
then I will announce the release in two days or so.

Cheers,
Ralf

Re: Bug#574258: lush: Please support Renesas SH(sh4)

Ralf Juengling — 2010-03-20T16:16:48

I haven't got any feedback on lush2 beta2. Either most people are
still using 1.2 or there are fewer bugs in 2 than I thought. At
any rate, I will review the lush2 documentation one more time over
the next two or three weeks and then roll a 2.0 release.

I made the change in the CVS version.
We should probably make a final release of Lush 1.2.
The current release is semi-broken in recent Ubuntus.

Dear Lush People,

Nobuhiro is working on a port of Debian for sh4 architecture and
suggests a patch.  I wonder if you still maintain 1.2 version of lush
(or all forces are on lush2?), so may be there could be 1.2.2
which could include some other fixes, if there are any, + his minimal
patch:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=04-sh4-support.dpatch;att=1;bug=574258

otherwise I would just include it into Debian package.

Best regards,
Yaroslav
