Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Hi,
I intend to orphan the tilp package.
The package description is:
TiLP is a Texas Instruments calculator <-> PC communication program for
Linux. It is able to use any type of link, like the original TI GRAPH-LINK
(both black and grey cables), the homemade "$4 serial link", or the
"$5 parallel link". It even supports the new TI GraphLink USB, using the
tiglusb kernel module. See http://lpg.ticalc.org/.
.
With TiLP, you can transfer files from your PC to your Texas Instruments
calculator, and vice-versa. You can also make a screen dump, a backup, transfer
a backup to the calculator, or take control of your TI from your PC, or even
install a new version of AMS on your calc !
.
You might be interested in the tidev-modules-source package which allows you
to build a set of three kernel modules. These modules are three drivers for
different link cables (serial, parallel, USB) which require running TiLP with
root privileges. With these modules loaded and the appropriate rights on the
device nodes, this won't be necessary.
You will probably be interested in the related, also orphaned, packages:
tiemu, skinedit, tidev-modules-source, libtifiles0, libticables3, libticalcs4
JB.

Hi,
The Debian packages of tilp, tiemu, libticalcs, libticables, libtifiles,
libtifiles and skinedit were orphaned by the previous maintainer, Julian
Blanche. Some of them now fail to build from source because the modules
packages were removed because they are apparently part of Linux now:
http://bugs.debian.org/362162
Are you interested in adopting these packages, or do you know any Debian
users who would be interested in keeping them in Debian and helping
maintain them? Ideally someone who has access to the hardware would be
good.

Ah, good to hear they aren't needed.

Perhaps Julien would have time to sponsor your packages?
If not, here is the procedure to get the packages updated:
First read this:
http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/debian-mentors_FAQ.html
Then get the packages uploaded to:
http://mentors.debian.net
Then ask for a sponsor on this list:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/
Once the sponsor is happy with your contributions, they can propose that
you become a DM (Debian Maintainer). DMs are people who can upload
specific packages to the archive:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2007/vote_003
Once you becomes a DM, you will be able to upload packages that you
maintain that a sponsor has previously tagged with a
"DM-Upload-Allowed: yes" field and signed and uploaded to Debian.
The DM process is a fairly new one, so we're still shaking out the bugs.
The other way to get direct upload rights (for any package) is to go
through NM. Currently this is a fairly long and arduous process that
requires some effort:

Ah, good to hear.
