RFS : Tellico
Hi, I'm looking for a sponsor to upload Tellico 1.2.5-1 available at http://www.imalip.info/tellico/etch/tellico_1.2.5-1.dsc This version is specifically aimed at Etch, including patches picked from the following releases with the help from upstream author. The package has just been rebuilt with pbuilder, with no lintian error or warning. The directory http://www.imalip.info/tellico/etch/ contains a full list of the applied patches, as well as the debdiff file, which is the diff between 1.2.4-1 and 1.2.5-1 before applying the other patches. Keep CC'ing Joerg, just in case...

A problem with dh_strip
Dear mentors, I am trying to create a Debian package for the Pict programming language. http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/papers/pict/Html/Pict.html The package itself is here http://altair.dcs.elf.stuba.sk/~kosik/debian/pool/main/p/pict/pict_4.1.0-1.dsc I have successfully built it within pbuilder environment. However, I have observed a weird behavior of the binary when I let dh_strip it. The binary is installed into /usr/lib/pict/pict (the /usr/bin/pict is only a script that calls the binary with pre-set environment variables required by the original software) The original and the dh_stripped versions of the binary differ - the original does recognize the `--help' option, the dh_stripped does not recognize it - when I run the original binary without any parameters, it complains You must specify exactly one input file whereas the dh_stripped bersion prints something else. - and other things SPECULATION Major part of the orignal binary is compiled from OCAML sources so maybe there is some specific error behavior of dh_strip related to these kind of binaries. /SPECULATION I would welcome any helping hand with this problem.

Dear Luca, If the lib package ships the binary program, nothing will depend on the lib and it will be removed by deborphan. Also, you can have /usr/share/doc/thinkfinger-tools be a symlink to /usr/share/doc/libthinkfinger if you strictly depend on the same version. But why calling the package which carries the binary thinkfinger-tools and not simply thinkfinger?

Removing obsolete conffiles on upgrade
Hi list, as you probably all know, conffiles from older package versions are kept on package upgrades, even if the new package version does not ship the conffile anymore. How do I best get rid of such an old/obsolete conffile? Simply delete it in preinst? Do I have to check if it was modified locally and if so, do I have to keep it around/rename it? I have to get rid of the old conffile somehow (I formerly had two files foo and bar. In the new package version, the content of foo has been included in bar, so I want to get rid of foo, otherwise I get clashes).

In the new package version, the content of foo has been included in bar, so I want to get rid of foo, otherwise I get clashes). Well the optimum solution is the following (all in preinst): - If foo was unchanged from the original version (check md5sum) then just remove it - otherwise *try* to merge the changes in foo into bar. - if this is not possible, warn the admin that he has to manually update the settings in bar according to what he has done in foo.
