The current status is that I'm working on metafiles: README's of all sorts and manual pages. I think I'll be about happy with this before this weekend. > [ Release Candidate ] > > But... what about a Releace Candidate (RC) before releasing a v0.7.0 > final to give people a chance for feedback? > What about announcing such an RC to Linux (news) online services like > Freshmeat/Icewalkers/Slashdot/etc.? > ( Tarballs with a constant URL for downloading is highly > appreciated. ) FWIW, I just updated the Freshmeat (it's now called FreeCode) page yesterday with the 0.6.0. I will definitely be posting 0.7.0 as well. You can think of 0.7.0 as an RC. We may make 0.7.1 bugfix release shortly after that. > [ Debianizing ] > > I would also like to see a polished up debian/ directory. > It is while ago I did some debianizing but I have CCed the current > Debian maintainer and the guy from ltrace-git debian/changelog [1]. > IIRC files like README, NEWS etc are also recognized when packaging... > but I have to consult the Debian maintainers guide as well. Generally I don't think things like that belong to an upstream SCM, but since we are hosted by Debian, it seems fair to leave it there. I can't however maintain it myself, as I'm not a Debian user, let alone maintainer. I would accept patches that bring this up to date. > [ Copyright notes | debian/copyright file ] > > I had a quick look at some recent checked-in files into the ltrace GIT > repository. > You happen to know if all the files have a updated (C)opyright header? > This is IIRC very important to Debian folks to have an up2date > debian/copyright file [2]! In 0.6.0, most files lacked copyright and license headers at all. I added these for files that I touched on my revamp branch (I wrote about it in [1]), and intend to do the same with the remainder as well. Attributing stuff retroactively like this is inevitably inaccurate, but it's the best that we can do.

So, this is to distro maintainers: would this be in some way useful to you? Currently what we have is this: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/ltrace.git;a=blob;f=README;hb=HEAD#l20 Before actually doing the release, I'll re-test on machines that I have available (I can test x86, ppc, s390 and ia64 backends) and update the list accordingly (or fix stuff). > [ "org mode" ] > > Never heard of that, more infos? http://orgmode.org/ Thanks, PM _______________________________________________ Ltrace-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ltrace-devel
