Hello Harry
I am looking for a sponsor for the package "lives" which I updated
and
removed lintian warnings and errors. This is not a non-maintainer
upload
as the upstream author Gabriel Finch <[email protected]> has
agreed to
list me as an 'uploader' in debian/control. The original maintainer
was
Gürkan Sengün <[email protected]>.
here's my current work:
http://sid.ethz.ch/debian/lives/nyu/
That's what I based the packages on (you're still listed ad the
maintainer, I just made it lintian clean and upgraded the upstream
version).
I think the original maintainer Gürkan Sengün <[email protected]
> is a
Debian Developer as although I can't find him using db.debian.org, a
random one of his packages I chose ttf-jura has been uploaded to the
repository, but I can't find an RFS for it, only an ITP. Gürkan, i
f you
want to upload lives that's great, but if not don't worry.
i'm sorry i'm not a debian developer, but nyu is interested
sponsoring the
package (i've cc'd him): Robert Millan <[email protected]>.
Okay, thanks
The package requires libweed0, which is available from
debian-multimedia.org
(http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/l/lives/). However, only
binary packages exist. Does this need to be uploaded before lives
can (a
source package would have to be made)?
yes you should package libweed first into debian, otherwise lives
can not
go into main. only packages that work independently inside main, can
be main.
Okay. I've pretty mich finished packaging libweed, but I won't be able
to upload it to m.d.o until later today or (more likely) tomorrow.
Also, would a postinst script that downloaded and installed
libweed0 be
acceptable? If not, is it unacceptable to add an override to suppress
lintian warning about symlinks to shared libraries in the main
packages?
no you can't do that for main packages.
thanks for your work,
guerkan
