Keeping the gcc source package around for various versions according to the state of various packages built from the gcc source that haven't changed - I can't really see the ftpmasters liking that idea. I do not know ftpmaster but this was initially done by someone who has access to the mater. Most developers like me is excluded from the master. It is also hard to ensure that maintainers correctly synchronise the packages - you'd need a whole new process to check the content that would have been included against the content still packaged in the old version. This is very valid concern. This was the reason I stopped using it. I don't see that it is worth investigation at this stage and certainly not on this list. Take it to debian-devel if you want to start work on the various fixes and scripts that could be necessary to make it sane. I got your point. I have no intention to make more complicated solution. ... This way user will not be forced to download another documentation package in which only the version number is bumped. That is waiste for everyone and can not be solved by local mirror nor by local cache server. Of course it can - the local mirror is shared between various users and those users can use rsync. rsync should work though. It just produces archive with some inconsistency as the parent mirror.

Re: RFS: gnome-art-ng
Le dimanche 21 septembre 2008 à 15:07 +0200, Cyril Brulebois a écrit : Julien Lavergne [EMAIL PROTECTED] (16/09/2008): I am looking for a sponsor for my package gnome-art-ng. The goal of Gnome-art-ng is to replace gnome-art (non maintained upstream, see http://www.miketech.net/gnome-art/index.php). It provides the same features: […] Maybe you could keep the original name, then? Or at least provide an upgrade path from the no-longer-maintained package (to coordinate with the maintainer(s) of that latter)? Yes it's a replacement but it's another upstream author, another language ... completely a new software. Upstream also keep a different name. I think it's better to keep both names. The upgrade path is a good idea. (except if people didn't want a Mono program ...), but I'll prefer a few testing before this.

Library Packaging
Hi I'm trying to create a package of a shared library and I can't figure out how to do it. I can do it for a normal binary using dh_make and debuild. Ive read through all the debian packaging guides I can find. But there is a lack of info on how to do it for shared libraries. I end up with a .deb that doesn't install anything except for the changelog. Where can I look for help? Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Shared libraries are difficult packages to maintain - do you understand the issues around SONAMEs, transitions, -dbg packages and how to work with upstream on symbol versioning etc.? Generally, I don't recommend that anyone on this list seriously considers packaging shared libraries until they have a couple of ordinary binary packages in the archive.

Where can I look for help? /me thinks I'm going to have to write a little guide on this but lack the time right now. First point of call is debian/dirs - make sure it's not referencing things like usr/sbin usr/bin - you probably don't need that file at all. Now create the libfoo0.install, libfoo-dev.install (or libfoo0-dev.install depending on how you want to manage and maintain the transitions) files to contain the relevant objects. Take a look at the .install files for a few shared libraries - naturally, I'd recommend QOF (libqof1 in Debian until Lenny is released when libqof2 will arrive). Ignore the stuff in debian/rules, concentrate on the .install files and control file. -- Neil Williams = http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I would agree with that. Debian packaging is quite daunting for someone who's not seen it before, let alone packaging a library. Some upstream Makefiles are packager-friendly and others it looks like they go out of their way to make life tough. dh-make helps, but it cannot cater for everything.
