Bug#612341: bumblebee, libjpeg-turbo: Wheezy does not work well withmodern notebook PCs.

Osamu Aoki — 2012-05-26T15:11:02

Hi,

This ITP Bug #612341 was supposed to be closed by Fathi sometime early
January.  Nothing happened.  http://bugs.debian.org/612341

In the meantime, Ubuntu package was updated to generate -dev etc.
 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libjpeg-turbo

libjpeg-turbo (1.1.90+svn733-0ubuntu4) precise; urgency=low

  * Install jpegint.h in the -dev package.
  * Install jconfig.h in the multiarch include directory.
 -- Matthias Klose <email address hidden>   Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:02:38 +0100

This package can be build on sid (under pbuilder) nicely practically as
is and also makes libjpeg-turbo8.  So ABI of version 8 is taken care as
I understand.

Also, Mike Gabriel's work seems to have done somethings interesting on
old Fathi's version and made many improvements.

Concurrently, upstream has released newer libjpeg-turbo-1.2.0.tar.gz

So I do not understand why this is not uploaded.  This is blocking
bumblebee support for wheezy.  This makes the next Debian Wheezy
non-optimal for many modern notebook PC users since this is blocking
bumblebee upload.
 https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/FAQ

It seems touching up Ubuntu package seems to be the simplest thing to
get this package into Debian before FREEZE (JUNE!).

Once this is done, all other required pieces are in Ubuntu
 https://launchpad.net/~bumblebee
 https://launchpad.net/~bumblebee/+archive/stable/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=precise

For Debian, http://suwako.nomanga.net/ is good archive.  It works.  (I
can not find source package for the virtualgl package here but above
Ubuntu site has it anyway.)  I am using this package but wish to get it
into Debian.

Since no action has been taken for many months and FREEZE is coming, I
hope Fathi does not mind someone else uploading this package and get
things moving.

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Osamu

Bug#645972: RFP: entangle -- Tethered Camera Control & Capture

Bug#625502: Inquiry re: adopting qt3

Jeff Licquia — 2012-05-26T03:51:10

I'd like to ask to adopt Qt 3, entirely for the sake of the LSB.  The
LSB is working on removing Qt 3, but that effort won't be ready in time
for wheezy, and I'd like for full LSB support to remain possible in Debian.

What are your thoughts?  I don't think this would take away from the
release goal of ridding Qt 3 dependencies from Debian; it would be good,
I think, to release with only LSB depending on Qt 3.  I understand it's
a C++ package of some complexity, and that I'd be responsible for
analyzing security fixes, bugs, etc. on my own without upstream support
from TrollTech.

Bug#629857: Ensemble was renamed to juju, and other statusinformation

Clint Byrum — 2012-05-25T01:13:19

Just updating this, as an upload is coming soon. Ensemble was renamed
to juju, so I retitled the bug.

juju also needs txzookeeper and txaws, so those ITP's are blocking
this one.

Bug#674450: python-appindicator missing from unstable, will beuploaded soon

Clint Byrum — 2012-05-25T01:07:57

will require python-appindicator to function fully. That package does
not exist yet, but will be uploaded shortly by the pkg-ayatana team as
part of libappindicator.
