[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 909 bytes --]

Hello,

I prepared the same, but did not push it yet. Actually, I wanted to package 
the vorbis-tools, and got sucked into a dependency chain that started with 
curl and currently ends with ghostscript...

> +    (inputs `(("xz" ,xz)))

You do not need this; it is only used for unpacking, which is handled 
automatically.

Concerning the license, I have
   (license (bsd-style "file://COPYING"
                       "See COPYING in the distribution."))
instead of
+    (license bsd-3)))

My reason was that the license contained a line
"Neither the name of the Xiph.org Foundation nor the names of its
contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from
this software without specific prior written permission."
So this is not precisely the original BSD-3 license, which does not mention 
Xiph.

What is our policy here?

So I would suggest the following more comprehensive patch.

Andreas

Re: [PATCH] gnu: Add Libogg.

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hello!

Looking into more details, given that Andreas’s patch adds more stuff,
I think it would be wise to commit this one.  WDYT?

And presumably, Andreas should get the lock on all things Xiph-related.
:-)

So maybe to avoid working on the same things, I currently have gnunet, 
libextractor, flac (with a patch), curl, groff, netpbm, openldap and 
ghostscript in my pipeline. These are all dependencies in one way or 
another of gnunet. But I think it could take quite a while until I arrive 
at the top of the (only partially discovered) dependency tree...

Good, thanks for sharing your to-do list.

Another thing we can do to avoid duplicated work, is to commit and push
individual packages as soon as we have them.  For instance, as soon as
you have a working libextractor, go ahead and push it.

Some packages require more effort, and in that case it’s a good idea to
announce your plans as you start working on it.

Or maybe we should use an Org file somewhere, or a wiki, or some sort of
locally-hosted Web 2.0 task management thing.

Ideas?

That is what I do. But I am not fond of pushing packages for which I would 
still like to add more inputs; it is possible to push libextractor without 
lots of optional dependencies. This is what my proposed patch for vorbis-
tools does, there is a FIXME explaining which inputs are missing. But then 
there is a higher risk of forgetting to add them.

Otherwise said, currently I am doing a depth-first exploration of the 
dependency graph, but one could do something closer to breadth-first.

Anything would be fine for me as long as it is easy. Maybe a wiki would be 
easiest for the time being.

I suggest to announce such things on the list.

Can Savannah be used?

I guess that the easiest thing is to stick with this list.

Yes, but that’s inconvenient.  Typically, I’m likely to have forgotten
what others are doing by the time I actually start packaging something.

Could be, though it’s really inconvenient (heavyweight, browser-only).

Yes, http://bugs.gnu.org is a Debbugs instance, used by Guile, among others.

It’s convenient for bug reports, but cannot be used as a task list, AFAICS.

There are things like Trac or RedMine that we could run on
hydra.gnu.org, but that’s more heavyweight and webish than I would like.

Another option would be to have a simple Org-mode file in a repo hosted
on hydra.gnu.org (say), but that means that everyone would need to have
an SSH account on that machine (unless we can use a single SSH account
for everyone who needs to access the repo?).

Suggestions welcome!

Another option might be GNU Recutils.

Regardless of the use of Org-mode or Recutils, is there any reason
such a file couldn't exist in version control on Savannah? It could be
part of either the source code repository or web pages repository.
Access would be easily controlled using the existing mechanisms on
Savannah, with anonymous access for anyone to view it as well.

If this doesn't work, Savannah also has a Task Tracker. Then people
would just create tasks and assign it to themselves/someone as an
indicator that they're working on it.

Yes.  This only thing is that I wouldn’t want to clutter the source
repository history with these things, so we definitely need a separate
repo.

It could be the web repo, but that’s the CVS, so we may well lose our
temper.  ;-)

Perhaps we should ask savannah-hackers for a secondary Git repo?

I’d prefer something easily accessible from a text editor.

I don't suppose there's any harm in that, except that it means using

I am not sure whether a git repo is the right thing, since we do not need 
version control and history; collaborative text editing is more what comes 
to my mind, or a lightweight wiki.

So I set up a gobby server. I do not know whether there are console based 
clients, but you can use the gtk program "gobby". Upon connecting, it 
allows to edit files, with contributions by different persons highlighted 
in different colours. And there is a little chat client integrated.

As there is a password I do not wish to post worldwide, I will send it to 
the developers given in the AUTHORS file. Please try it out and tell me 
what you think.

Is it possible to have a read-only access to the files ? It would be 
nice for potential contributors to be able to read our TODO list.

I agree that would be nice.

If the tool doesn’t support it, perhaps we could have a cron job that
periodically exports the file somewhere?

That would be easily possible; the files are stored in xml format, and can 
also be exported (at least manually) to html.

I think having version control and history is quite beneficial for
keeping track who closed what when.

There is already the git for the project itself, and at some point in time, 
we might need a bug tracker. Here it is more about intra project 
communication; like writing down non-committally who works on what, without 
having to be reminded months later which promises one did not keep...

k - I thought for a moment you were about to implement bug tracking with
org-mode/git and was about to cheer.

I finally installed Gobby, and it works beautifully!

Perhaps if we type in using Org-mode “syntax” we can then use Org’s HTML
export facility in the cron job.  WDYT?

(Now to try Rudel...)

I do not know how to write it; is it difficult? How about recutils instead?

No, see ‘TODO’ and ‘README’ for examples–I bet you wouldn’t have guessed
that this is special syntax.  ;-)

> How about recutils instead?

Yeah, it would work too, though it’s slightly more heavyweight (and its
fancy Emacs modes is in the not-yet-released version...)  OTOH, it would
allow us to add special fields, like ‘assigned-to’, etc.

So, whichever you prefer is fine with me.  :-)
