Subject: ITP: divfix++ -- repair broken AVI file streams by rebuilding index part of file

Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2008 15:03:03 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-devel@lists.debian.org

   Package name: divfix++
        Version: 0.29
Upstream Author: Erdem U. Altinyurt <death_knight at gamebox.net>
            URL: http://divfixpp.sourceforge.net/
        License: GPL v2 or later
    Description:

This program designed to repair broken AVI file streams by rebuilding
index part of file. This is very useful when trying to preview movies
which has no index part, like some files are currently downloading from
ed2k or bittorent networks.

DivFix++ has supports CLI tools, this means you can fix a file to
temporary location, preview with a player, than delete temporary movie
file after preview automatically via script by using argument parameters...

DivFix++ is complete rewrite of "DivFix" program due it's bugs and low
performance. It has been written using C++/wxWidgets and thus, ported on
various Operating Systems.

In your description, I see nothing no prefer this program to mencoder
yet, see http://www.google.com/search?q=mencoder+fix+index .

Still don't.

So what's the point, why should we put this package into Debian? A GUI?
But there is no word like "GUI", only something called wxWidgets? Users
might think... wx, what is this wx good for?

Regards,
Eduard.

I (and probably many other people) don't want to spend one hour reading 
mencoder manpage to fix their videos ;-)
I'll update the description to mention "Gui" or "Graphical" somewhere.

Maybe, but I don't like mplayer!
If someone doesn't want divfix++ in debian just tell me (maybe I'm just 
paranoid, but I feel you don't want me to upload this software).

If someone is interrested in, it's already available @ debian-mentors:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/divfix++/divfix++_0.29-1.dsc

thanks

Hi,

This is an automatic email to change the status of divfix++ back from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 18 months.

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

 retitle 473235 ITP: divfix++ -- repair broken AVI file streams by rebuilding index part of file
 owner 473235 !
 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 <473235@bugs.debian.org>.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,

Hi Adam,

I am interested :)
Please would you update the packaging to the latest upstream's release
and upload it again to mentors.d.o.?

Regards.
