Bug#794198: toppler: missing sources of binary file toppler.dat

Is there any? >> http://toppler.sourceforge.net/repos/datafile/ > This is the source for the archiver, not for toppler.dat. Well, this repository contains all the game data in its original editable format (Blender, GIMP, POV-Ray, PNGs, WAVs, ...). So, as far as I interpret it, it is not just the source for the archiver program... > This would be most inconvenient. I would need to create custom source > tarballs. I'm not really an expert in Debian packaging but very often I have seen "foo-data" packages. Maybe the toppler.dat file could be build in a toppler-data package with it's own source tarball just containing the files from the repository above? > What do you actually want to do ? I wanted to have the sources of the program in an easily accessible and editable format after checking out the debian source package of toppler. I thought this is the meaning of a *source* package. Originally, I just wanted to take a look at the game data to find a replacement for the blurry desktop file icon, see my other bug report: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=794197 Cheers Ronny -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This would be most inconvenient. I would need to create custom source tarballs. What do you actually want to do ? Cheers, -- Bill.

Bug#794198: toppler: missing sources of binary file toppler.dat
Package: toppler Version: 1.1.6-2 Severity: normal After running "apt-get source toppler" I expected to find all sources of the toppler game. Unfortunately, the source package contains a big binary blob "toppler.dat" even though the sources for this file including a makefile are available here: http://toppler.sourceforge.net/repos/datafile/ I don't know if including this file as a binary blob in the toppler source package even conflicts with a Debian policy... Could you change the toppler source package so that the toppler.dat file is created from sources when building the toppler binary packages? -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-trunk-686-pae (SMP w/5 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages toppler depends on: ii libc62.19-18 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.2-10 ii libsdl-mixer1.2 1.2.12-11+b1 ii libsdl1.2debian 1.2.15-10+b1 ii libstdc++6 4.9.2-10 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 toppler recommends no packages. toppler suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
