Vincent Bernat [EMAIL PROTECTED] (18/06/2008): Urk, no need to add clutter to the Build-Depends line. Even oldstable has 0.39-2. In fact, /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make appeared in 0.40. Should the dependency on this version be made explicit? Since it's satisfied even in stable, what would be the benefit of adding it? Make sure to FTBFS on something older than stable? (1) I don't think it's worth adding noise to Build-Depends. (2) oldstable is no longer supported anyway, so I really don't see any reason to do so.

Hi Jeremiah, you're almost done ;-) However, the original tarball has not been changed, you've generated a .diff.gz with those changes. So, in order to create a new upstream tarball for version 1.4.5, please do the following steps: I have to go to a wedding overseas this weekend, so I don't know how much time I will be able to spend on this. But I will definitely be able to work on it next week and get it in good shape. This will also give me time to review the relevant debian documentation and the links you pointed to. 1. Get the tarball swedish_1.4.4.tar.gz and unpack it 2. Remove the debian directory and the file konfigfil 3. Apply the patch from bug #186072 4. Do the transliteration of directory and file names 5. Rename the top directory from swedish-1.4.4 to swedish-1.4.5 6. Create a new tarball with the following command: tar czf swedish_1.4.5.orig.tar.gz swedish-1.4.5 Afterwards, create a new debian directory inside the directory swedish-1.4.5 and copy the files you already have edited into that directory. Now run dpkg-source -b swedish-1.4.5, which should result in a .diff.gz file. By the way, did you read the Developer's Reference, New Maintainers' Guide, and Debian Policy Manual? I did, but it has been a while. I usually work with the debian-perl group makeing packages and am more used to that work-flow. I will go back and re-read the above links as I build the swedish packages. They are all linked from www.debian.org/devel/, and they contain explanations about differences between Debian native packages and normal packages. I recommend that you read all those documents. Will do. I also just received a copy of Martin Krafts debian book which I will also read for more information about packaging.

IANADD but it could enhance your chances to find a sponsor if you give a statement on that:-) It's an interesting point you have. In contrast, I would say: Why are there so many large packages with lots of dependencies. Why dont spit them to make them small and simple? I know, it's not that easy. :-) But what I want to say is, that I think packages should be small and simple. This is the way to have less bugs and better customizable setups. You probably read, that I work on a small image resizing program. The reason is, that `imagemagick' as well as `graphicsmagick' are far to large packages when I only want some image resizing. (I had to install 80MB for `imagemagick' on a fresh base installation!) I think it would be better if ImageMagick would be a few separate programs, and a virtual package that depends on all of them. Just like it was done with OOo some time ago. But I know, that it's not so easy to split program suites up. What there should be, are small alternatives to ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick, with only some of it's features. Cause I haven't found them, I work on programming one. But back to `genwebgallery': I think packages should be like programs according to the Unix philosophy: - small and simple - do one thing well That's why `genwebgallery' is like it is.

RFupload: libupnp (updated package)
Dear mentors, My regular sponsor is on holiday. I am wondering if someone would care to review and upload the new version 1.6.6-1 of my package libupnp. The Portable SDK for UPnP Devices (libupnp) provides developers with an API and open source code for building control points, devices, and bridges that are compliant with Version 1.0 of the Universal Plug and Play Device Architecture Specification - see http://www.upnp.org/ for specifications. It builds these binary packages: libupnp-dev - Portable SDK for UPnP Devices (development files) libupnp3 - Portable SDK for UPnP Devices (shared libraries) libupnp3-dbg - debugging symbols for libupnp3 There are two Lintian comments: libupnp source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.7.3 is because I haven't reviewed it for standards 3.8.0. The package was prepared some time ago and was in testing since. debian-changelog-line-too-long line 7 - me culpa, it is one charactrer too long :-) The upload would fix these bugs: Important: 482737 libupnp daemons crash after short while running The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libupnp - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libupnp/libupnp_1.6.6-1.dsc I would be glad if someone could avoid a last minute pressure and check/upload this package for me.
