Re: When is the Freeze of Etch?
Sorroy for the long delay but I had tu buy a new Laptop on eBay... Am 2006-10-14 10:41:54, schrieb Kapil Hari Paranjape: Some suggestions: 1. You have already filed a bug report. You can provide enough data (interdiff, URL, ... whatever you think is enough!) so that the current maintainer can incorporate your packaging effort to make it quicker for version 2.3 to make it into etch. I have build the original xdialog package from the sources since Thierry Godefroy (Upstream) provides a debian/ directory. The build package xdialog_2.3.0_i386.deb is exactly the same as the oder Debian Version, except that the debian/changelog should be updated to reflect Debian Work on it. 2. If major functionality will be broken by releasing 2.2 in etch then you want to consider upgrading the severity of the bug. Please provide details when you do so. At least this will ensure that other users of xdialog will know there is a problem. Right, this what I have already written (e.g. --treeview) 3. There is no harm in using a higher version of package locally than what is available on the archive. There are many debian tools to create local package repositories. Asking for this version to be in the Debian archive urgently means that you feel that many users of xdialog will be badly affected by the earlier version (see 2). Thierry Godefroy (Upstream) had alredy written which Bugs from 2.2.0 are solved and 2.3.0 would be a real benefit. 4. If you feel that the maintainer is MIA or might want to orphan the package you should write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to check. Please ensure that you have tried all avenues (BTS, mail to Maintainer etc.) before you do this. The MIA folks probably have a long queue! I have already contacted the Maintainer (via BTS and privately, - and he is DebianDevelpoer...) but gotten no reponse. :-( I am in a not-very-different situation with respect to a number of packages and all I can say is Patience. Normaly I am, but since Etch will be released in a short time it is high presure for some Packages which have not realy RC-Bugs but prevent other programs to work korrectly. Note 1: As the old Manitainer had orphaned xdialog, I was interested in Maintaining it since nearly 70% of my tools are using xdialog heavyly so I am realy interested in a Package which is in a realy good shape. Note 2: Since I am Debian-Consultant in Strasbourg, I have created MANY Administration tools which require xdialog (since most new $ADMIN of my customers do not want to hack config files) - thats the real world! Ignoring of a demand to package a new version does not give a good light to Debian, - specialy if this version exist since arround 5 month now and I use it from my private repository which has now over 30 newer Packages which are not shiped with Debian and I can not say, they are Unstable or the versions are critical.

Not sure whether you are now talking about building brickos or binutils-h8300-hms; the latter have seen a new upload last night, which seems to build nicely. I'm about to prepare new gcc and brickos packages as well, hopefully that will be done by tonight. I'm still looking for further sponsors - if anybody is interested, please drop me a note.

When binutils-h8300-hms was build and uploaded/installed on amd64, I've rescheduled brickos, which now failed with a different error. I assume that gcc and binutils aren't compatible.

hi all,
the package with the corrections indicated for Sandro Tosi, is here [0].
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Could you take a look at what I said about debian/copyright? You don't
need to list each individual file, but if you have multiple copyright
statements you should make it clear enough to what parts of the package
this applies.
Regarding the Debconf templates:
Template: scuttle/locale
Type: select
Choices: ${choices}
Default: en_GB
_Description: Prefered locale:
Select the locale that you desire to used with scuttle.
This needs s/used/use/
And this one:
Template: scuttle/adminemail
Type: string
_Description: Administrator email:
Contact address for the site administrator. Used
as the FROM address in password retrieval e-mails.
Debian is all about sensible defaults and not presenting the
administrator with too many questions. I suggest you do either of these:
compose the address out of webmaster@ + the content of /etc/mailname,
or you set it to $_SERVER['SERVER_ADMIN'] (the site admin as defined in
Apache). The user can always change this of course, but it gives a
sensible default and leaves out a debconf question.
