Hello all,
I am packing visualos, dhid and jslaunch as part of my aplication to
become a debian member and I have some cuestions:
First, where should I send the ITP message? debian-devel
debian-mentors or both.
Is there some automated way to keep the .ex files and not include
them in the source package?
I am having trouble packing jslaunch:
1) The package contains a file called 'jstest' which is also present
in 'joystick' and a manpage for it. jstest only serves for
configuration of jslaunch.
-Should I rename jstest to jslaunch_showbuttons and rename and
modify the manpage to refer to that name?
-Should I move jstest to /usr/lib/jslaunch/ and the manpage to
/usr/doc/jslaunch?
-Is there some way to make sure this won't happen with some
other package I don't have installed? A part from getting the
Contents file and checking manualy.
2) It doesn't use a pidfile, but it has it's own way of determining
the pid of a running jslaunch with locking.
-Should I modify it to use a pidfile?
-Maybe extend start-stop-daemon to find the pid with locking?
-Simply use its own facility to start and stop it.
3) It comes with its own init.d script which includes an aditional
parameter.
-make a new script based on the init.d.ex?
-remove the aditional parameter and use the original script?
-simply make sure that start, stop, restart, and force-reload
are supported by the original script and use it?
In case someone wants to take a look at the broken jslaunch package
it is apt-getable at:
deb http://ranty.dhis.org:8000/debian/ unstable/
deb-src http://ranty.dhis.org:8000/debian/ unstable/
Thanks
Manuel
