Bug#722450: Aw: Re: Bug#722450: RFS: osmctools/0.1-1 [ITP] -- Some tools to manipulate OpenStreetMap files
Cher Pierre, I'm stuck. How can I improve my packaging ? It seems like you need some person to be in direct contact with to guide you through whatever there is to do. With too many individuals reading your call for help, and everyone somehow busy with something already, it is typically like everyone waits for someone else to jump to your side, first :) I recall from some other email that you have already found the GIS group. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis They have a mailing list https://wiki.debian.org/DebianGis/MailingLists that you can use instead of the mentors list, maybe not so very officially, but you just reach out to people of the same interest. Have you already registered with it? Was there someone showing up prepared to help out? A quick look does not show too many postings in October. Another good source of help is with https://wiki.debian.org/Keysigning/Offers#FR Anybody geographically nearby is also expected to help you out and meeting up for the key signing, about the first step in the process to get the credentials to upload the package yourself, is also much fun. You will find someone, I am sure. Best, Steffen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Pierre Blanc wrote... I am looking for a sponsor for my package osmctools Strictly speaking for myself, let me share the ideas that crossed my mind. * Package name: osmctools Version : 0.1-1 Upstream Author : Markus Weber * URL : http://gitorious.org/osm-c-tools/ Any reason why you dropped the dashes from the upstream name? I find it hard to see the osm in osmctools. osmctools - Some tools to manipulate OpenStreetMap files Looking at the description (as found in commit b3812e9c) | Description: Some tools to manipulate OpenStreetMap files | Small collection of basic OpenStreetMap tools, include converter, filter and | updater files. | It masters fewer functions than the commonly-used Osmosis: for | example, there is no way to access a database with osmconvert. | However, the program runs faster and offers a few special functions | (--all-to-nodes, --complex-ways and --out-statistics). I guess you wanted to start a new paragraph in the third line of the extended description. Right now this wouldn't work that way. But honestly, in my opinion the content of the second paragraph is not that kind of information I'd put or expect in an extended description. Instead, a listing of the programs included should make them detectable by advanced package management tools, read: Give the users a chance to find your package if they are searching for e.g. osmconvert. So, here's how I'd do it: - Description: Some tools to manipulate OpenStreetMap files Small collection of basic OpenStreetMap tools, include converter, filter and updater files. . Programs included: osmconvert - Converter of OSM files osmfilter - The experimental OSM filters data osmupdate - Update OSM files - This will put extra work onto you every time upstream changes the collection of programs. I think it's worth it. Regards, Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Programs included: osmconvert - Converter of OSM files osmfilter - The experimental OSM filters data osmupdate - Update OSM files - No doubt, It's really better. Yes, this is really better! Just a hint if you look at the Debian GIS osm task page here: http://blends.alioth.debian.org/gis/tasks/osm#osmctools You see the old status as it was initially in VCS. The cron jobs have some delay. But as I promised the package is listed there with all avaibale information. Once the package is uploaded to NEW it will move up a bit automatically and finally will show up in the available packages list without the need to do anything else and will also end up in a gis-osm metapackage once these will be created. I hope you like this feature of Blends which is just a matter of adding Depends: osmctools to a simple text file ...

I'd recommend you to drop your autoconf manipulations and try to use dh-autoreconf. This binary is useful, I didn't know. Thanks, it's cleaner.

Make it yet more clean by removing your custom rules and replacing --with autotools-dev with --with dh-autoreconf. You don't need autotools-dev when you have dh-autoreconf. This is corrected. -- Cordialement, Blanc Pierre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Hi, I understand your point, and you're right. I'll take these good habits. I have already contact DebianGIS and I will create git repository shortly.
