 Just a few notes:
 - In the manpage, still, most of the options (especially bonobo activation

 Hmm. It is meant for advance user or developer. But, should I keep it
 or remove it. I think there is no harm to keep it in manpage.

Advanced user or developers don't need useless items in a manpage ;)
What use can the --enable-esound flag be in gnome-speciment, for
example ?


Ok. Removed ;)


For bonobo options, they are common to all gnome applications using
bonobo, do you really think it's necessary to repeat these instructions ?

And I'm not sure the modules loading functionality is of any use...


Done.


 - I think you should build depend on python-dev instead of
   python-all-dev.

 python-all-dev will make sure that all supported python version are
 installed. correct me if I am wrong. python-dev is also ok in our
 case.

I got misleaded by overlooking at the code of the resulting package.
Looking again, I see it's only a hack to be able to run modified version
from the source tree. Maybe you should remove that. It's useless in the
installed version, and adds python 2.4 paths even when using python 2.5,
which could have bad side effects.

Anyways, python-gnome2 only comes for python 2.4...


Ok. python-dev as dependency.


 I'm not confortable with sponsoring a package using cdbs, but if nobody
 steps in, I will, since I'm very interested in having this in the
 archive.

 If you wish, I can convert it to debhelper, no problem :) Let me know,
 I will upload corrected package.

Let's first see if someone wants to take care of this.


Hmm. Looking for someone to pick up. Corrected package:

RFS: fuse (updated package)

2007-07-24 Thread Adam Cécile (Le_Vert)

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 2.7.0-1
of my package fuse.

It builds these binary packages:
fuse-source - Source for the Fuse kernel module
fuse-utils - Filesystem in USErspace (utilities)
libfuse-dev - Filesystem in USErspace (development files)
libfuse2   - Filesystem in USErspace library

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 411143, 433927, 434109, 434225, 434327

Please note, this upload fix one important bug (does not build against 
2.6.22 linux kernel) and one serious bug (breaks ntfs-3g).


The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fuse
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable 
main contrib non-free

- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/fuse/fuse_2.7.0-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards

Re: RFS: libsnmp-mib-compiler-perl (updated package)

2007-07-24 Thread Jochen Friedrich
Hi Deepak,

 I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.06-1.2
 of my package libsnmp-mib-compiler-perl.

If you are the new maintainer, the version should be 0.06-2.
Please also acknowledge the old NMU.

Other comments:

1. the license states:

You may modify this module as you wish, but if you redistribute a
modified version, please attach a note listing the modifications
you have made.

In this case, i would *stongly* suggest to use a patch system like
quilt or dpatch to document the modifications from upstream. For
now, it's only MANIFEST.SKIP, but it's still a modification.

2. At least on sparc, a pbuilder build fails:

Warning: prerequisite Data::Compare 0 not found.
t/agentcapabilitiesCan't locate Data/Compare.pm in @INC
Obviously, a build dependency on libdata-compare-perl is missing.

3. Lintian complains:

W: libsnmp-mib-compiler-perl source: 
maintainer-upload-has-incorrect-version-number 0.06-1.2

Thanks,
Jochen

OK.
 
 In any case, I have re-uploaded it to Mentors with the same revision

 you want, and also believe that more changes won't be necessary.
 
 dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libitpp/libitpp_3.99.2-2.dsc

I would have preferred 3.99.2-3 - my versioning policy for mentors is:
a new Debian version for every mentors upload. I then use (in the case
of libitpp) -v3.99.2-1 to collapse those changelog entries into one set

It's OK for this upload, Kumar, what I want to ensure is this line:
dget: using existing libitpp_3.99.2.orig.tar.gz

By using an incremented version, I can dget the .dsc into the same
directory as the previous upload and this makes checking for mistakes
much easier. This time, I could simply remove the previous -2 files and
keep the original -1 files but next time, please use 'dch -i' before the

I am looking for a sponsor for my package gnome-launch-box.

* Package name: gnome-launch-box
  Version : 0.2-2
  Upstream Author : Sven Herzberg  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://developer.imendio.com/projects/gnome-launch-box
* License : GPL
  Section : gnome

It builds these binary packages:
gnome-launch-box - An application launcher for GNOME

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 433684

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-launch-box
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-launch-box/gnome-launch-box_0.2-2.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

This is my first attempt to package something, so I hope it's not too bad.

Kind regards
 Julien Lavergne

I agree. This doubles as a nice checklist before shooting off that RFS
mail! :-)

Great!

 to remove unneeded shebang lines, I usually use a small perl script
 called at the end of debian/rules. I find this much more flexible than
 maintaining a set of patches.
Or sed -i -re '1{/^#!/d}'

I note that sed -n -i is a dangerous combination..

 Is the dependency on *Sun* Java (and hence inclusion in contrib)
 necessary? I didn't have a very detailed look at the code, but there
 didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

You are right. Builds fine without Sun's Java.
 
 By the way, have you considered asking for sponsorship on the
 debian-java mailing list (apologies if you have, and I've missed it).

Found a sponsor with the help of the java team.

Thanks for your help!

Rgds.

Do you mean how can you reverse the change to satisfy the policy
requirement that the sources, after clean, are indistinguishable from
the sources before?  Well, you can simply run the sed on only the
./debian/$package/{,usr/}{,s}bin/* since the whole installation
tree[s] are removed anyway.  I think any build-time munging of scripts
consistent with strict interpretation of this section of the policy
will have to act on ./debian/$package/ only or do something much less
elegant.

RFS: vbrfix -- corrects MP3 files that have incorrect VBR information

2007-07-24 Thread Rogério Brito
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package vbrfix.

* Package name: vbrfix
  Version : 0.24-1
  Upstream Author : William Pye [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://www.willwap.co.uk/Programs/vbrfix.php
* License : GPL
  Section : sound

It builds these binary packages:
vbrfix - corrects MP3 files that have incorrect VBR information


Here is the long description of the package:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In an average song there are points that require high quality and points
that require low quality (i.e. silence).

Instead of having the whole file at 160kbps CBR (Constant Bit Rate), we
can use VBR (Variable Bit Rate). This allows us to have say 96kbps at
points not requiring high quality and 192kbps when we need it: resulting
in an overall smaller but higher quality MP3.

Unfortunately, the problem is that many MP3 MP3 decoders estimate the
time of a MP3 file based on the first bitrate they find and the
filesize.  This means that the prediction used by such decoders is
wildly wrong with VBR encoded files and, as a result, you can get
fairly random times.

As most songs start with silence you usually get the song length being
shown as much longer than it should be. Also when you jump through a
file encoded in VBR, 50% through the file is not 50% through the song.

A VBR null frame is placed at the beginning of the file to tell the MP3
player information about the song length and indexing through the song.

The problem arises because some poor encoders don't produce this null
frame or do so incorrectly and this is what Vbrfix attempts to fix.

Vbrfix can also fix other problems with MP3s as it deletes all non-MP3
content (other than tags you state you want to keep).  It can also help
when merging two VBR MP3s together with a merging tool and then needing
a newly calculated VBR null frame.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The package appears to be lintian clean and the upload would fix the bug
#434465, which is an ITP bug.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vbrfix
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/v/vbrfix/vbrfix_0.24-1.dsc

Re: RFS: adonthell (updated package)

2007-07-24 Thread Anthony Chaumas-Pellet
Hello,

My apologies; I have already found a sponsor, but it seems I forgot to
say so on the mailing list.

  I don't see this new version on the mentors site.  All that's there is
  version 0.3.4.cvs.20050813-4.
 
 Any news regarding that package?  Or should the one available on mentors
 be sponsored?

I'd got the naming schemes mixed up, so the first package was
superseded by 0.3.4.cvs.20050813-4.

  Also, I would call the game data wastesedge -- similar to the way
  upstream does, and have it provide a virtual adonthell-game or somesuch.
  AIUI, wastesedge will be only one of many future games that will be
  created as the engine matures.
 
 Yes, especially, since you seem to need to know, what game data you've
 installed to play the game.
 
 Perhaps it would even be a good idea, to ship a wrapper script calling
 adontell wastesedge?

I have considered renaming the package for pretty much the same
reasons. There is a wrapper script already, though
('adonthell-wastesedge').

Thanks for your comments, and sorry again for the confusion.

Regards,
Anthony Chaumas-Pellet

In galeon I am unable to scroll down and see the sponsoring

Probably about time that browser was removed from Debian.
