Re: cowbuilder and --distribution experimental
Hi, Heh, I guess we have a different definition of 'properly'. pbuilder experimental usage assumes we can install everything from experimental and get done with it, but I assume there are some packages which don't go along with each other well. But that shouldn't make pbuilder work and cowbuilder not work. I'm confused.

'--distribution experimental' sets up internal flags such that it is interpreted as '--distribution sid' and special handling for experimental. Obviously, it doesn't.

Hmm I didn't know this pulls everything from experimental; it's quite uncommon that people are interested in using everything in experimental; the most common case is trying a new lib or stack in experimental, but most people aren't interested in /everything/. I don't quite like the hack of special casing --distribution experimental; I wonder whether it would make more sense to have a higher level profile concept and pbuilder would provide a sid-experimental profile as well as a experimental-full profile if some people have interest in this. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

The files therein are owned by thargor (your username right?), so I assume you have repackaged the upstream source tarball yourself. If I'm not mistaken, the original pristine upstream source is this: MailScanner-install-4.68.8/perl-tar/MailScanner-4.68.8-1.tar.gz from http://mailscanner.info/files/4/tar/MailScanner-install-4.68.8-1.tar.gz Since the contents within the upstream MailScanner-4.68.8-1.tar.gz and your repackaged mailscanner_4.68.8.orig.tar.gz are entirely identical, I think using pristine source is best practice. Please read Section 6.7.8 Best practices for orig.tar.gz files in the Debian Developer's Reference: http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html MailScanner-install-4.68.8/perl-tar/MailScanner-4.68.8-1.tar.gz file (at least for 4.68.8 version) fits the criteria for pristine upstream source, so instead of unpacking it and re-compressing it, I recommend simply copying or renaming MailScanner-4.68.8-1.tar.gz to mailscanner_4.68.8.orig.tar.gz . So yes, for your next upload of new upstream release, please try your best to use upstream pristine source. You may want to update debian/copyright a bit as well (e.g. change 2002-2007 to 2002-2008).

The way this is usually tackled is to either have the initscript
refuse to start the service if not yet configured (but still exit
with an okay return value so package installation succeeds), or ship
a file in /etc/default/ sourced by the initscript and containing a
switch variable to make the initscript's start function a no-op
(until edited to turn it on).

Adam Barratt provided me a full build log so I just noticed my silly mistake, it should depend on g++-multilib, not gcc-multilib. And thanks to an other build attempt by Ingo Saitz I confirmed it now works, as expected. Anyway, thanks for your time :) Cheers, -- Atomo64 - Raphael Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments.

Re: kgb -- Archiver for .kgb files (doesn't work on non-32bits archs, changes made to address that issue)
Joe Smith wrote: I am not a DD or DM, nor have I checked your actual packaging, but your explanations of the changes made sound reasonable sane. Obviously it would be nice for true 64 bit versions to eventually be built, but those changes sound like they should result in working 32 bit executables for all architectures. (Warning: I have no actual experence with that, this is just merely a comment that what you said sounds sane). HTH. Thanks for your comments. As no other issue found, now uploading the package.
