Re: RFS: libsbml
Hello Panchoat, I was finally managed to merge your effort with my stuff. Please look at the following diff: http://voltex.jp/downloads/libsbml_2.3.4-2.diff.gz Regarding the gcj issue, I forgot to mention that I actually patched to java.m4 to get it to work :) My apologies for that. Thanks, Moriyoshi 2007/2/4, Panchoat [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Dear Moriyoshi: I correct the description and the gcc-3.4 dependence problems, and upload the packages to mentors.debian.net ftp site. In these days, I try to build them by libgcj7-dev and gcj-4.1, but I failed, can you show your patch for successfully building the package with gcj? The idea we came up with last week was to prepare an entry on the Debian-Med SVN (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-med/, http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/debian-med) for the package. Andreas volunteered as an initial sponsor and I volunteered to take over sponsoring once I am accepted as a DD. I have registed a user name panchoat-guest in alioth too, but what should I do next? It is very good news to see these packages arriving in Debian. Unfortunately, I am completely ignorant of java, so I can not review them. I have however one small comment: it has been said some time ago on debian-devel that having packages with very similar descriptions is disturbing when people make keyword-based searches. Maybe you could try to give a specific description for each package ? I have fixed these, thank you for your advise! -- Moriyoshi Koizumi [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also reachable on [EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: RFS: libsbml
Hi Moriyoshi: I have looked over all the patch stuff! Your work are excellent! But I have a little opinion on the libsbml-doc package and the build dependence to latex2html: the upstream offer a seperated libsbml-doc source package,which contained compiled html and pdf document. So, why not just use this source rather than to compile it? from my side, I think the dependence to latex is evitable and this will save a lot of compiling time.

Well, in a Debian source package we provide the *source*. The rationale is if you need to patch something in the docs you will have problems to modify a PDF. So compiling the docs is really a good idea and the compile time should not really be an argument here.

RFS: quadkonsole - KDE terminal application embedding Konsole kparts in a grid layout
Dear mentors, I packaged quadkonsole (ITP #409405) by Simon Perreault using standard debhelper. It's lintian/linda clean. In order to get rid of the rpath encoded in the binary, I resorted to chrpath. In the new maintainers guide I am told to edit the Makefile.am and Makefile.in files. However, the autoconf magic of the upstream code (which was generated by kdevelop, I believe) is so complicated that I decided to stop here and see what people with some experience think. You can review the package in my repository deb http://www.uft.uni-bremen.de/chemie/ranke/debs sid-jr/ or use dget http://www.uft.uni-bremen.de/chemie/ranke/debs/sid-jr/quadkonsole_2.0.1-1.dsc The package description: Description: KDE terminal application embedding Konsole kparts in a grid layout Compared to starting several Konsole instances next to each other QuadKonsole has the following advantages: . Saves memory. Faster startup. You don't need to align your konsole windows by hand. You have a lot more screen real estate. Navigation is easier, using arrow keys. All konsoles can be minimized/maximized at once. QuadKonsole occupies only one slot in the taskbar. . Some drawbacks are: . No session management No execution of startup commands.

Sponsor needed for sigit and IPP2P
Hi I am a Debian user for 5 years and have fiddled a bit with Debian packaging, though I have mostly only used my packages on my own systems. I have contributed (though not a lot) to Debian with bug reports, sometimes with patches.

Re: RFS: libsbml
Dear Andreas: Ok, I admit that the real problem is that the dependence to latex2html require tetex-extra and a lot of other packages,and after this additional dependence, my system require another 100 M disk space. I don't like installing a lot of packages just because an unnecessary package. I believe other people may feel the same like me. Why not just left this an option to user? I mean, in the upstream source, to build the doc is optional, we can just left this like the original source. Another reason, we have an analogue: this package support matlab binding too. Of course, we will not enable this binding by default. but user can simply apt-get source and add this support. This is just like the doc package's situation, we can disable it by default, but easily enable it. Further more, I think there will be few people want to patch doc package, writing the right doc is the responsibility of upstream authors. I consider that's why the upstream authors offer a compiled doc package for us. best regards Changyan Xie On 一, 2007-02-05 at 12:47 +0100, Andreas Tille wrote: Well, in a Debian source package we provide the *source*.

About debian/changelog, you include a lot of entries, which is sort of weird since the package is not yet in Debian. I understand you have it in your own repository, but new packages usually have only one entry. Anyway, there's Closes: #XX in your changelog, you should add that. Why do you use DH_COMPAT=4 ? The current compatibility level is 5, and unless you have some specific reason for using 4 (as in, doing backports for sarge), it's better to use 5. Also if you have DH_COMPAT=4, having debhelper ( 3.0.0) in debian/control is not enough, you should have debhelper (= 4.0.0) The build process is a bit weird (you use debian/tmp, for a single binary package, which is not usual.

If it is about bloating your production system I would suggest to use pbuilder which installs all this stuff into a chroot and will remove it afterwards. This does not really make the build process faster but keeps your system clean and has other additional advantages (like beeing sure that all build-dependencies are mentioned and ensures more or less that auto-builders will probably work). I'm unsure but there is a chance that an alternative build-dependency to texlive that is known to be packages more fine grainded might be possible with less disk space than you mentioned. I don't like installing a lot of packages just because an unnecessary package. Well, whether something is unnecessary depends from the point of view. To build libsmbl from source it seems to be necessary. I believe other people may feel the same like me. Why not just left this an option to user? I mean, in the upstream source, to build the doc is optional, we can just left this like the original source. If you ask me I would rather leave the compiled docs out of the source tarball because these ar not necessary. Another reason, we have an analogue: this package support matlab binding too. Of course, we will not enable this binding by default. but user can simply apt-get source and add this support. This is just like the doc package's situation, we can disable it by default, but easily enable it. Not really. Docs are always welcome and if they are free they should be packaged. Matlab is neither free nor exist a package so this support would be not reasonable. Further more, I think there will be few people want to patch doc package, Ahh, really? You will be astonished how many reasons might be or how many bug reports you might gather for a pretended simple doc package. I can asure you that the package maintainer of a doc package has good chances to be forced to patch the docs.
