Re: Update on MyOS and scim-waitzar/libwaitzar (Attn. Paul Wise)
Thanks for the review; I'll get right to work. A few bullet points: * Is there anyone out there who is willing to sponsor this package? It'll take some time for me to tidy up the package (and I will certainly contact the scim/ibus guys) but if there are any bilingual mentors especially w.r.t. Asian languages, please let me know if you can help to sponsor this package. * Regarding the ITP bug you linked in: This seems like a good quality alternative to waitzar, for people who prefer to type letter-by-letter. I'm familiar with Mr. Stribley's work in the Burmese community, and it's all top-notch. I've used the myWin keyboard on Windows, and if it's the same one he mentions in the package name, then it's an excellent IME to have on Linux. That said, I have not used this keyboard on Linux, though I'm sure the author would be happy to answer any questions you have. * The Apache License recommends placing licensing information at the bottom of the file. Is there a good reason to move it to the top? If so, I'll move it, but otherwise I'll stick with the default. * local.conf is in the tarball because automake generates it when I run make distcheck. I am hesitant to remove things that automake thinks are ncessary. Will removing local.conf affect non-Debian users of scim-waitzar? If it's harmless to remove, I'll take it out. (Same regarding config.guess/config.sub) * Re: khmerOS's decline: That really, really sucks, especially from a project that made so much real progress. All other comments (fonts, licensing, documentation) seem reasonable; I'll effect the necessary changes. Thanks again for the review. --Seth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
RFS: gnus -- A versatile news and mail reader for Emacsen
Hi, a short time ago I noticed that the world's best mail and newsreader, Gnus, is up for adoption. I'd be willing to become maintainer of this package. I've been using Gnus for ten years, and for a couple of last years I've already been using self-compiled version of Gnus to fix compatibility with GNU Emacs 22 (with patches from BTS). I've prepared now packages for latest upstream release, and uploaded that to mentors. http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=gnus Any feedback appreciated. I know that there is some lintian warnings, and I plan to check those soon. -- Tommi Vainikainen pgppSGcXmtVGK.pgp Description: PGP signature

Very quick look at the package: 1. Do not make package native. What do I need to do to change the package into being non-native ? How/where do I specify the non-native version number ? 2. Please create proper debian directory and not by symlink to some directory with templates and other crap in it. Why not ? Because it breaks some tools which check archive and makes NMUs needlessly complicated. Debian is not the only distribution this system is packaged for. I don't like to have a top-level directory called debian in the source code repository. Instead, I have a directory called packaging/debian. There is no need to have debian packaging things in upstream. 4. Build fails as there are some hardcoded paths: make: Entering an unknown directory make: *** /home/mkgnu/devel/scmbug.0.26.13/SCMBUG_RELEASE_0-26-13/src/tests: No such file or directory.

I'm not sure why this error occurs. Have you looked at Makefile in your package? It contains this path on dozens of lines. This link is no longer valid. Yes, it is valid for month, I don't keep such things forever. To reproduce it run fakeroot debian/rules clean on your sources. 6.

I can't find an debian/tmp folder... \r You've probably only got a single package, so check the contents of debian/$package Doesn't have that either.. A quick tutorial about debian packaging states. When you build your package everything that needs to be compiled gets compiled. Then everything is installed into a temporary directory inside debian/ then various dh_ commands are run to change/make the temporary directories fit for actual binary .deb. At the the end metadata, maintainer scripts and those temp directories are compressed into an archive with name ending in deb. To get better understanding let's do this: 1) Change into the directory of your package, eg. cd foo-1.0/ 2) Run this command debuild binary 3) Now go into debian/ and look what you have in there. A good way to see what's there is to run this: du -a This should show all the files in all subdirectrories. One particular directory you want to look at is the one named after your package (hope you are still following, I'm talking about foo-1.0/debian/foo). It has all the files that will end up in the final deb. Sometimes (if you are building more than one package) you will have 3 folders e.g.: tmp/ foo/ foo-data/ Sometimes you will notice that upstream compilation doesn't install everything you want. In that case you create the debian/$foo.install files. Case 1 Single package (you are only creating ONE deb) Step 1) create debian/install Step 2) For each missing file/directory write one line: source destination-dir Where source is path relative the toplevel source directory (foo-1.0), and destination-dir is where you want the files to end up when your package is installed on the system eg. (usr/share/lib/) Case 2 Multiple deb package (youare creating MORE THAN ONE deb) Step 1) create debian/$(package).install eg. if you want to install something additionally into a package called supercow-data you create a file debian/supercow-data.intall Step 2) Same as in case 1. I have package.install with: debian/tmp/usr/share/applications/* usr/share/applications/ Most likely you want to simply write upstream/location/of/desktop/files usr/share/applications And rename package.install into simply install. upstream/location/of/desktop/files is the path to the .desktop file/files in the tarball eg. one of my upstreams has desktop files in vitables-2.0/unixapp/vitables.desktop so in my debian/install I have this line: unixapp/vitables.desktop usr/share/applications Hope this helps. please take a little bit of time and play around with it to understand which paths you need to be using when. It's something I had to spend a little while to get the hang of. If you have anyquestions please ask. I got: dh_install -pphasex cp: cannot stat `debian/tmp/phasex-0.11.1/phasex.desktop': No such file or directory dh_install: cp returned exit code 1 make: *** [binary-install/phasex] Error 1 debuild: fatal error at line 1306: couldn't exec fakeroot debian/rules: my install file looks like: phasex-0.11.1/phasex.desktop usr/share/applications phasex-0.11.1/pixmaps/* usr/share/pixmaps Comments, suggestions to solve this?

Re: Bug#521918: pbuilder --build --binary-arch invokes 'build' target
On Tue, May 05, 2009 at 07:13:23PM +0200, Julien Cristau wrote:
arch-specific builds run 'debian/rules build $rootcmd
debian/rules binary-arch' (where rootcmd is fakeroot or sudo). They
can't do anything else, because the build-arch target is (still) not
required.
Sure they can:
debian/rules build-arch
if [ $? -eq 2 ] then
apt-get install ${BUILD_DEPENDS_INDEP_OF_THE_PACKAGE}
apt-get remove ${BUILD_CONFLICTS_INDEP_OF_THE_PACKAGE}
debian/rules build
fi
$rootcmd debian/rules binary-arch
Not wanting to do something as convoluted / brittle is another matter
altogether and something I'd support. (Returning error code 2 is
mandatory for debian/rules when called on a non-existing target, if I
remember well.) So, pbuilder can call build unconditionally (that in
itself is not a bug), but then it _must_ respect Build-Depends-Indep
and Build-Conflicts-Indep.
Whatever's needed for this needs to be in Build-Depends.
No, policy is very clear on that: if you call the build target, you
_must_ satisfy Build-Depends-Indep and Build-Conflicts-Indep:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/footnotes.html#f46
http://www.nl.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-sourcebinarydeps
I quote (emphasis mine):
Build-Depends-Indep, Build-Conflicts-Indep
The Build-Depends-Indep and Build-Conflicts-Indep fields must be
satisfied when any of the following targets is invoked: *build*,
build-indep, binary and binary-indep.
If you make build-arch or binary-arch, you need Build-Depends. If
you make build-indep or binary-indep, you need Build-Depends and
Build-Depends-Indep. If you make *build* or binary, you need
*both*.
Under the current policy it is a bug for pbuilder to not install the
Build-Depends-Indep.

Look at my own situation (which must not be a rare one, I suppose): I've worked to make a Debian package of the software I develop [0] with the idea that the Debian Policy had to be implemented in the package making. That software recently entered Debian through NEW and almost immediately after that I got a FTBFS bug report [2]: pbuilder called debian/rules build without installing the required Build-Depends-Indep: texlive-latex-extra, texlive-latex-recommended, texlive-fonts-recommended which of course failed because pdflatex was not found on the system and thus could not build the LaTeX docs of the software. It is a pity to have a Debian Policy so well documented, to point package-making learners to that Policy and then have non-conformant builders. In fact, I'd ask what would be the solution to overcome the problem (apart from the desirable fixing the builders)?

It is a pity to have a Debian Policy so well documented, to point package-making learners to that Policy and then have non-conformant builders. In fact, I'd ask what would be the solution to overcome the problem (apart from the desirable fixing the builders)? Hi, I'm glad I (finally) got some response to the problem! I've had precisely the same problem as Filippo: I prepared my first package, I spent many hours studying the Policy to follow it precisely, and to my disappointment, I got a FTBFS bug report immediately after uploading the package. It took me considerable time to find out what the problem was (thanks for help!), and moreover, it wasn't apparently my fault, it was faulty builder(s). I don't think the problem is so much in the Policy, I think the problem is with the builders. The builders must provide dependencies according to debian/control and the target(s) they're calling. Of course, improving the Policy is OK, but once the guidelines are agreed upon and written there, the builders must follow it. Not the other way around. I'm quite surprised that these problems with the builders haven't been solved already, considering the number of packages in Debian! I suggest to create a dummy package that would be as simple as possible and that would demonstrate the problem. Then test it with various building tools and fill eventual bug reports. Maybe I could prepare such dummy package in the following days, if I have time. Best regards, Petr -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The gnus Debian package is not really recommended for most users. Most users of Gnus are probably better off not installing the gnus Debian package and instead using the version that comes with Emacs.

Re: RFS: gnus -- A versatile news and mail reader for Emacsen
Russ Allbery r...@debian.org writes: Just to double-check: did you already know the background on this? The gnus Debian package is not really recommended for most users. Most users of Gnus are probably better off not installing the gnus Debian package and instead using the version that comes with Emacs. Yes, I know it is kind of beta versions of gnus. Just now I don't remember what were my original reasons for installing this version of gnus, but there has been some features which I've needed. It is rather long delay to wait new GNU Emacs release. (I don't know how often XEmacs incorporates newest Gnus releases.) -- Tommi Vainikainen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: RFS (resent): libdumbnet
Hi Paul, I'll add libdumbnet/nmap to the security team's embedded-code-copies file in the meantime. ok - I've added liblua/nmap, but that's only a bug in the buildscripts and will vanish again soon, I hope. If you're still willing to sponsor libdnet: upstream is not very active (wrt. source changes), but responds quickly. Upstream location has changed, too. I've updated the package to use the latest tarball (1.12 from Jan 2007) and corrected all links.[1] If you rebuild before sponsoring, please don't forget to use -v1.8-2. ;) Regards, Jan [1]: http://www-pool.math.tu-berlin.de/~hesso/deb/libdumbnet_1.12-1.dsc signature.asc Description: Digital signature
