  Description     : a BVH animation editor for 3D virtual worlds such as secondlife

qavimator is a QT, BVH animation editor and allows the creation and editing of BVH avatar animations. These are 
commonly used in the 3D metaverse Secondlife (SL) for the in-world animation of avatars. The application allows full 
control of each joint but is supplied with default SL joint movement limitations. Key frames can be specified and 
animations interpolated between them. Basic props may also be used to aid the correct positioning of your animations 
with respect to objects. qavimator is tuned specificly for generation of animations for Secondlife.

A couple of nitpicks:

In the long description, in English, always capitalize the first word
of the sentence. Thus "Qavimator is a QT-based BVH animation editor..."
Also, please reformat to fit in an 80-character line.

Oh, and either "secondlife" needs to be capitalized in the short
description, or lowercased in the long.

Steve

BVH is Biovision Hierarchy, a file format originally developed by
Biovision a motion capture services company and is used to describe the
 position of skeletal joints over time. Its main use is for the
animation of 3D human or animal models and utilised in the 3D metaverse
Secondlife to provide avatar animations.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biovision_Hierarchy

Hope that answers your question, I suppose I should have included a
little more here in the long description as it is not a common format.

Regards

Robin

Thanks for the pullups.

Sorry to sound stupid but can I do anything about the original ITP
report, or is it just a case of repost the (corrected) template here and
get it correct for the upload to mentors?

I don't think you need to repost the ITP, since our exchange is
in the bug log. Just make sure that you get the fixes into the
package/templates before anyone spends time translating. That's why I
(when I notice) send these kinds of trivial fixes to the ITP, so that
they get fixed before a real upload.

Subject: WNPP bug closing

Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2008 11:59:35 -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 446766
 stop

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
446766@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>.

Reopening as i am still planning to finish this package.

upstream SVN has had some reworking and updating to qt4 instead of qt3
which makes this package far more viable

Will hope to get this finished off in the next few weeks

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

A ping for anyone watching or considering closing,

There is a package for this currently on mentors, but i'm refraining
from actively pushing this package because of the Lenny freeze and
mentors/DD's time is beter spent else where at this hour of lenny. I
will resume ITP's after lenny goes live. But in the mean time if anyone
wants to sponsor or review the package it is at :-

- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/q/qavimator
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/q/qavimator/qavimator_0.0.svn.247+dfsg-1.dsc

Hi,

This is an automatic email to change the status of qavimator back from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in adopting qavimator, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 446766 ITP: qavimator -- a BVH animation editor for 3D virtual worlds such as secondlife
 owner 446766 !
 thanks

However, it is not recommended to keep ITP for a long time without acting on
the package, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to refrain from
packaging that software. It is also a good idea to document your progress on
this ITP from time to time, by mailing <446766@bugs.debian.org>.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
