Hello,

Urjtag is already in Debian.

The previous maintainer asked for adaption by a new maintainer.
( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796820 )

It is me who is stepping forward.
( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=796820#35 )

With this e-mail introduce I myself.

Geert Stappers Linux System engineer as day job, at night also computer
and electronics related stuff. Earlier in my career I did electronic
design. an upcoming hobby projects will be my first encounter with JTAG.

I want to do that with a recent version of urjtag in Debian.

We should make a release at some point, 0.10 is way too old.

"In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software
patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.
Instead of explicitly seeking to sanction the patentability of
software, they are now seeking to create a central European patent
court, which would establish and enforce patentability rules in their
favor, without any possibility of correction by competing courts or
democratically elected legislators."

A new release with what's currently in snapshots would be great.

It is urjtag_0.10+r2052 that I'm packaging.

We should make a release at some point, 0.10 is way too old.

Plan:

1. Apply some waiting *easy* patches with bugfixes and enhancements, as
I find them in the Tracker on SF or in forks out there (pointers to
others welcome; I can look at ADI and on github for urjtag but are there
more? Which are most interesting / enhanced?)

2. Release

3. Apply more patches, after discussions and probably some iterations to
get the issue/code/etc. right

Or should we postpone release 2. after 3.? Now that, as far as I
understand, it's probably too late to rush a release targetted for
Debian experimental ... so "we have time"?

Regarding git & github, I won't object to move there because that's
certainly a good way to go; but at the moment, I'd rather like to spend
on working on the issues (in SF tracker, and with SVN) and *later* spend
time on migration... Does this sound reasonable?

Kolja

I think after such a long time a release candidate is probably a good idea.

Yes, start with 1. I would like to help with that.

Bug #110 https://sourceforge.net/p/urjtag/bugs/110/ is low hanging fruit.

It has a patch which I want to apply.

Could Source Forge account 'stappers' be added to the priviledged users
of the urjtag project? Or if account 'stappers' should allready be able
to do so, please tell.

New milestones "0.10" and "0.17" have been defined to sort out what has
been done in 0.10, since then, and what can be done quickly (or already
has been done) for a release soon.

I'm currently browsing through the issues; there are more with no easy
applicable fix than I hoped..

You're welcome, I've added you to the 'Developers' of UrJTAG.
SVN commit should be allowed now.

Yes, `svn commit` did work.

Closing #110 was not possible for the stappers account.
Most likely is 'close ticket' part of "edit"
According https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Tickets/#creating-and-editing-tickets
is it another privilege setting.
