Accepted Talks:
Analysing Debian packages with Neo4j
We present our work towards representing Debian’s packages, including history and releases, as well as other components of the Debian environment, in a Graph Database.
The Ultimate Debian Database UDD collects a variety of data around Debian and Ubuntu: Packages and sources, bugs, history of uploads, just to name a few. The database scheme reveals a highly de-normalized RDB. In this on-going work we extract (some) data from UDD and represent it as a graph database.
The presentation will give a short introduction on the life time and structure of Debian packages, followed with the graph database scheme (nodes and relations). After going through some of the queries used on the UDD web pages we will show how they can be translated to Cypher.
We close with an outlook of our future plans and open problems.
Status of Japanese (and CJK) typesetting with TeX in Debian
The support for typesetting Japanese (or any CJK language) in TeX in particular TeX Live, has been considerably improving over the last few years. From practical non-existence 10 years ago where every Japanese TeX user was used to download and compile packages (pteTeX, pTeXLive) to a simple apt-get install texlive-lang-japanese was a long way.
In this talk we recall a bit of the history of Japanese TeX in (Debian) TeX Live and give an introduction to the particularities of Japanese typographic rules and how they are implemented in TeX. We will shortly touch on how to typeset multilingual CJK documents in TeX using upTeX and LuaTeX, and report on the current state of CJK font support in TeX concerning free and commercial fonts.
