Hi Simon, Many thanks for your input. On 06/22/2012 05:29 PM, Simon Chopin wrote: I can't download the most recent tarball from [5], the server gives me back a 404 error. I haven't tried the other tarballs though. Fixed. In debian/control, wget and httracks are in Build-Depends. It seems to be a mistake since the build process doesn't download anything. In any case, the build process should be self-contained and not require network access. Fixed. Why do you need the Replaces/Breaks fields for ? Those packages have never been in Debian AFAICT. cppreference-doc-en has been available from my Ubuntu PPA for some time. I thought it'd be good idea to provide an update path for those who will jump straight to Debian version, skipping an update from the PPA, which makes cppreference-doc-en obsolete. On the other hand, the number of such users is probably very small as most of them should've upgraded already, so it makes sense to have cleaner Debian package. debian/cppreference-doc-en.install and debian/docs are empty, you can just delete them. Fixed. I don't know about the Devref stuff, but you might want to install the stuff in /usr/share/doc/* using dh_installdocs. I might very well be wrong though. dh_installdocs installs the documentation in /usr/share/doc/package. The problem with this is that eventually there will be many cppreference-doc-lang-format packages, which will share quite a lot of common data. Because of that, it's much easier to assemble the documentation in a single place. dh_installdocs doesn't offer such flexibility AFAICT. Since the purpose of the package is to provide documentation, it would be really nice to provide some doc-base informations. Fixed. Lintian has some minor nitpicks, some easy to fix. Run lintian -EvIiL +pedantic on your .changes file to see what those are as well as their explanations. Fixed. The package is now completely lintian-clean. I am not sure in what extent this is mandatory for non-D[MD]s, but people in Debian usually disclose their civilian name. If you intend to apply for DM or DD status, you would have to disclose it eventually for the keysigning process. Well, I don't currently have plans to become DM or DD. Nonetheless, there shouldn't be any problems to associate my contributions to my real name if I change my mind. In any case, there's, AFAIK, no identity check for non-DM/DDs, so both p12 and Name Surname are identical for the purposes of identification. The only difference is that it's obvious that the former is a pseudonym :) By the way, it seems that there _are_ DDs who use pseudonyms. I could find at least three here http://www.debian.org/devel/people. About the README.source, I am not exactly sure of how this all works on the upstream side, but it would be nice to provide a get-orig-source target to easily build the complete tarball. It looks like README.source wasn't needed at all. The package is completely self-contained.

Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: wishlist Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package cppreference-doc. It contains a downloaded copy of a free online wiki [1] that specializes in C and C++ reference and scripts for converting it to formats suitable for offline viewing (these are executed at build time). Almost identical package has been maintained in my Ubuntu personal package archive [2] for over half year. The scripts are maintained here [3]. The debian packaging is maintained here [4]. The upstream tarball is released once in several months and can be obtained here [5].

Bug#645513: RFP: cppreference-doc-en -- C++ standard library reference manual for English language
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist http://en.cppreference.com is a website hosting a free (GDFL/CC-BY-SA) wiki that aims to provide a C++ Standard Library reference. This package contains an archived version of that wiki, packaged into a Devhelp book. It would be good idea to have it in the official Debian repositories, especially since there are no similar books there yet. The upstream source tarball is at http://en.cppreference.com/w/Cppreference:Archives I've already made a preliminary package in a PPA at https://launchpad.net/~p12/+archive/ppa . There might be some minor issues with license/copyright information since I don't have a lot of experience with Debian packaging and thus don't know where to put what. Apart from that, importing that package should need only minimal effort. The packaging information itself is maintained at a git repository at https://github.com/p12tic/cppreference-doc-debian . -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
