Subject: ITP: evilfinder -- proves that any given subject is evil
Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2005 23:46:50 +0000
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: "W. Borgert" <debacle@debian.org>

Package name    : evilfinder
Version         : 666(?)
Upstream Author : Michal Zalewski <lcamtuf@coredump.cx>
URL             : http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/evilfinder/ef.shtml
License         : under clarification, hopefully GPL
Description     : proves that any given subject is evil

Example output for input "Debian":

**** THE PROOF THAT Debian IS EVIL ****

   D   E   B   I   A   N
   4   5   2   9   1  14     - as numbers
   4   5   2   9   1   5     - digits added
  \_/ \_/ \_/ \_/ \_____/
   4   5   2   9   6         - digits added

Thus, "Debian" is 45296.


Subtract 140, the smallest harmonic divisor number. The result will be 45156.

Turn the number backwards, subtract 1926 - the year "Playboy" publisher, Hugh Hefner, was born. The number is now 63228.

Subtract 1789, the year of French Revolution, a bloody farce engineered by the Illuminati. The result will be 61439.

Add 7691 to it - this is the year Che Guevara was executed in Bolivia, written backwards - you will get 69130.

Turn the number backwards, subtract 1964 - the year Beatles with "Can't buy me love" topped the charts in a very mysterious way. The number is now 1232.

This number, read as octal, gives 666 - the number of the Beast.

This is truly evil. QED.

Do we really need this in the archive? Can we not add this to another
package under games? It is rather small and doesn't serve a significant
amount of functionality.

Er, why?  This sounds like a great utility, it seems silly and
artificial to force it to be merged unless there's already a very
similar package to which it would be a natural addition.

Of course you could _start_ a "numerology games" package so things are
ready for other such utilities.

Speak for yourself...

Subject: WNPP bug closing
Date: Sat, 01 Jul 2006 12:00:07 -0600
Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

reopen 315903
thanks bts

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
315903@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
