mh-e 8.2-2 the GNU Emacs front end for MH and nmh mail user agents

powstatd 1.5.1-6.1 Configurable UPS monitoring daemon

/etc/init.d/powerfail should not be a conffile because many ups-monitor packages provide such a file (and it would be overwritten from a removed but not purged powstatd package when installing such a ups-monitor package). Also, it's possible to modify /etc/init.d/halt such that the machine is rebooted instead of halted should power have returned by the end of the shutdown process. An old patch for the package sysvinit is in the BTS to fix these issues (bug #55123).
In addition, the `failtime' variable should be moved and sourced from a file in /etc/source.

powstatd-crypt 1.5.1-2 Virtual transition package that can be removed.

• psg@debian.org

Project Home Pages

• gri, a language for scientific illustration (development at SourceForge). I also do the Debian packaging and I'm author of the Emacs mode.
• MH-E, the GNU Emacs front end for MH and nmh mail user agents (development at SourceForge). I also do the Debian packaging.
• AUCTeX, an integrated Emacs environment for writing TeX/LaTeX documents (development at savannah). I'm the author of font-latex.el and bib-cite.el.
• emacs-goodies-el, miscellaneous add-ons for Emacs. I'm the author of debian-changelog.el (packaged in dpkg-dev-el), debian-bug.el (packaged in debian-el) and of ff-paths.el (packaged in emacs-goodies-el).

Software Authorship

I've written a few packages for Emacs, some of which are included in Debian packages.

• I've written a pretty fancy (Emacs) editing mode for Gri (see above). I'm also a contributor to Gri development over at SourceForge. I don't do C++, but I've redone a lot of the Makefiles and worked on the Texinfo/HTML manual (some perl scripting to do some fancy stuff in the HTML generation).
• I've written LaTeX support packages for fontification (font-latex.el) and to interface with bibtex bibliographies (bib-cite.el). These two elisp packages are included in the Debian package of AUC-TeX, which itself is included in XEmacs Debian packages.
• I am maintaining debian-changelog-mode.el, an Emacs support mode for Debian maintainers to use with debian package changelogs (see the package dpkg-dev-el).
• I am maintaining debian-bug.el, an Emacs helper to submit bugs to the Debian bug tracking system, including WNPP bugs like ITPs. (see the package debbugs-el in woody and debian-el in sarge).
• I wrote and am maintaining debian-bts-control.el, an Emacs helper to the Debian bug tracking system email control interface. (see the package dpkg-dev-el).
• I'm active on the MH-E project.
• Various other elisp packages listed here including:
  • ff-paths.el
    Finds files in appropriate PATHs automatically (e.g. .el files in the Emacs load-path, .bib files in the BSTINPUTS environment variable path). It is also fully compatible with another useful package ffap.el (part of Emacs) which provides an initial guess for the filename based on text under the cursor. This is part of the Debian package emacs-goodies-el.
  • latex-units.el
    Add a Units sub-menu to AUC TeX math-mode's menu. AUC TeX is a LaTeX super mode.
