RFS: ITA: libapache-mod-layout libapache-mod-random (updated packages)
Dear mentors, I am trying to adopt these two packages. So I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 5.1-1 of libapache-mod-layout and the new version 2.1-1 of libapache-mod-random. In both cases this upload includes a fix for apache1.x being removed and only apache2 being avaible. --- libapache-mod-layout --- It builds these binary packages: libapache2-mod-layout - Apache web page content wrapper mod_layout allows you to create a single look and feel throughout a website without using server side includes to automagically wrap pages in standard headers and footers. . It can be used to to add standard disclaimers to all of the pages on a server, add banner ads, etc. The package appears to be lintian clean. The upload would fix these bugs: 429126, 462860 The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libapache-mod-layout - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libapache-mod-layout/libapache-mod-layout_5.1-1.dsc --- libapache-mod-random --- It builds these binary packages: libapache2-mod-random - Create random ads, quotes and redirects This module creates randomized content for you website -- random quotes for your scripts, randomly chosen files and redirects to random URLs. It's most useful for inserting various ads. The package appears to be lintian clean.

RFS: gnormalize (try 2)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear mentors, here is my second attempt to request a sponsorship. I decide to write a new one because my first RFS (http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2007/11/msg00082.html) was orrible. Lately following hints received from Bernd Zeimetz (to whom I ask excuse again for my unforgivable delay), I managed to repackage from scratch the new release of gnormalize. So... I am looking for a sponsor for my package gnormalize. * Package name: gnormalize Version : 0.53-1 Upstream Author : Claudio Fernandes de Souza Rodrigues [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://gnormalize.sourceforge.net/ * License : GNU General Public Licence (GPL), version 2 Section : sound It builds these binary packages: gnormalize - Graphical audio ripper, encoder, converter, player and tag editor. Long description: gnormalize is a front-end to normalize, an audio converter, encoder, ripper, meta data (tag) editor and audio cd player. It decodes the MP3/MP4/MPC/OGG/APE/FLAC file to WAV, then normalizes the WAV to a targeted volume level and re-encodes it. Moreover, gnormalize can extract Audio CD track and output as various popular audio formats (MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, APE, FLAC, WAV) with fast speed and high quality. gnormalize can also convert audio format between MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, APE and FLAC with high fidelity, which meets your need to play and collect audio files. It can change the encoding and metadata (tag) properties of final normalized files. gnormalize can be used to adjust the volume of audio files to a standard volume level, where different recording levels on different albums can cause the volume to vary greatly from song to song. I decided to repackage the source tarball to remove some redundant libraries and a binary provided by dependencies; the source package size is now reduced by a 30%. Lintian reports shows only a minor error: menu-icon-not-in-xpm-format. I provided to override it, because it seems to me non grave (and the Debian menu policy states that icons should be in xpm format, not must be). Anyway, I will try to fix it, if necessary. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnormalize - - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gnormalize/gnormalize_0.53-1.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Hi,
Read: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f36
The urgency affects how quickly a package will be considered for
inclusion into the testing distribution and gives an indication of the
importance of any fixes included in the upload.

I can see that removing -1 is most often a good idea, but -3? It was my understanding that build-depending on any Debian revision was a bad idea? Not necessarily. A library could well have a serious bug that is fixed in Debian before being fixed upstream and the program may need the fixed version. e.g. an unintended API breakage can be reverted. In that case, 1.2.3-1 is borked but 1.2.3-2 is fine (as is 1.2.2-8 and, hopefully, 1.2.4-1). Other candidates can be broken pkgconfig files, out of date autotools stuff, transitions in build tools themselves . . . Generally, though, Build-Depends versions come directly from whatever build system is used upstream (and can be omitted completely if Debian does not have anything older than the minimum required version specified in the build system - that includes testing, stable and oldstable so is quite rare). Why would -3 be any better than -1? There shouldn't be any API/ABI changes between Debian revisions should there? Should be - no. Can be - yes, usually trying to fix a mistake upstream. Obviously, I guess it makes sense if there was some specific bug fix but it still seems like a bad idea, but what do I know? :) Unless there is a *specific* reason for the Debian revision to be included, it should be omitted. Packages that do include the revision should not be assumed to be buggy merely due to the presence of such a revision although it is sensible to check that the revision is actually necessary. OK, I have put back the -3 build-dep and left the -1 removed. Also, I have talked to some mono folks and the warnings on dh_makeclideps is OK. I've added foo.dll.config files to handle it but the warnings still exist. I'm told this is OK. If anyone has time to review and/or upload I would appreciate it. http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/muine/muine_0.8.8-1.dsc Thanks!

unable to reproduce FTBFS of 459028
posted mailed Hi all, Recently there was an FTBFS bug #459028 on texmacs 1:1.0.6.11-3. There has also been an NMU to fix that. However, I am unable to reproduce it on my machine and I am perplexed as to what I am doing wrong. These are the steps I used. 1) download the source for texmacs 1:1.0.6.11-3.1 using apt-get source. 2) reverse the NMU patch patch -p0 -R texmacs-1.0.6.11-3.1-nmu.diff 3) compile with pdebuild cd texmacs-1.0.6.11 pdebuild-sid 21 | tee raju_build_20081221.txt pdebuild-sid is my customized version of pdebuild for sid branch.

To me it seems that there has been some problem in the g++ STL code in that it used a dynamic_cast, which probably shouldn't be used in the STL. Judging from my sid installation here, this is apparently not there anymore in current g++ releases. In my opinion you should indeed revert the NMU and close the bug (without a version number).
