RFS: iptotal (updated package) (2nd try)

2010-03-29 Thread Ignace Mouzannar
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.3.3-12
of my package iptotal.

It builds these binary packages:
iptotal- monitor for IP traffic, not requiring SNMP

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 572246 (grave), 574121 (important)

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/iptotal
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/iptotal/iptotal_0.3.3-12.dsc

I would be glad if someone reviewed/uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards,
 Ignace Mouzannar

Hi,

 Issues with upstream code:
 - According to upstream README[2], the implementation is taken and
 adopted from [a snippet] by Taavi Taijala; this is apparently in
 contrast with the only copyright statement (in setup.py): Copyright (c)
 2009 Shrubbery Software. Could you please clarify this with upstream?
 - According to docstrings the pickling protocol is specified explicitly
 (by default 2), which is not true (unless I'm blind).

I've uploaded a new version of the package with fixed pickling protocol
version handling and clarified copyright statements. All my patches were
included in upstream.

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/django-picklefield/django-picklefield_0.1.3-1.dsc

Could you take a look at it?

Thank you,
Michael

I'm not convinced your fix is the best way to go. Is iptotal unusable
with apache2? I thought it would be better to support apache2 and
perform better checks (however you do that) in post* for the web server
reloads. Don't you think?

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/django-picklefield/django-picklefield_0.1.3-1.dsc


I can't see how the copyright issue was resolved. We have

in setup.py, and

   Copyright (c) 2009, Shrubbery Software
   Copyright (c) 2009, Taavi Taijala
   Copyright (c) 2007, Oliver Beattie

in debian/copyright...

There are some stale files in debian/ that should be removed from the 
source package:


   debian/python-picklefield.*
   debian/python-module-stampdir
   debian/stamp-patched

Tests should not be run if nocheck build option is enabled (see Debian 
Policy 4.9.1 and bug #568897).


It would be nice if tests were run with all versions of Python your 
package supports. `pyversions -r` can give you such a list.


You could try to generate upstream changelog from the README file.

I had a (quick) look at Thiagos packaging[2] and while the package
builds somehow there are several lintian warnings.  If you try

  lintian -i *.dsc *.deb

you get explanations and several of these are relatively easy to
fix.  An absolute no go is the missing copyright information which
definitely needs fixing.  Please try to work down the list of
lintian problems and feel free to ask for any help if something
remains unclear.

BTW, it might make sense to join a packaging team on alioth

This enables potential helpers for packaging to commit changes
easily.

Hope this helps for the moment

Build-depend on python-all (= 2.5).

On a second look at the package I found that this is probably the best

where you could also write about the files being moved around in
postinst. But that's your call. As a user I would probably be confused
if files moved from /var/www to /usr/lib to /var/lib. :)

Also, I just saw postrm is empty basically. Please remove it.

Hi Michael,

No, it's not needed to stay close to the current state. I only packaged the
python-bindings because the project I work [1] needs only the
python-bindings.

The last stable version from sigar doesn't compile, then it was necessary to
compile the trunk version (svn or git). The package is in our Download page
[2] (Ubuntu and Fedora).

Thanks for help!

 I have limited experience with python packages but the principle is that
 the *.pyc files will be created at package install time in the postinst
 script.  This is done by python-support and is described in the Debian
 Python Policy[1].  Perhaps you might have a look into this document and

 How can I only compile in installation time? I'm using this command in rule
 file to install the files:
 
 cd $(CURDIR)/bindings/python  python setup.py install --install-layout=deb
 --root=$(CURDIR)/debian/$(PACKAGE)

I have limited experience with python packages but the principle is that
the *.pyc files will be created at package install time in the postinst
script.  This is done by python-support and is described in the Debian
Python Policy[1].  Perhaps you might have a look into this document and
if something remains unclear, it is a good idea to ask on
debian-mentors.

Kind regards

Re: RFS: pulseaudio (updated package)

Michael Gilbert scrisse:

  +nmuX should be used only for native packages, please refer to
  d-reference 5.11.2[1]
 
 Those are just guidelines, right?  As long as the new version is
 viewed as incremental compared to the last one, it should be ok I
 think. See same section (5.11.2) for suggested naming for uploads to
 stable, which is not followed at since codenames are a lot cleaner.

Both of you may be interested in §5.11.1.1 of DEP1:

 Hi mentors, I maintain dajaxice package, but the upstream author has
 changed the name to django-dajaxice.
 What is the best option? Maintain the actual source name in package?
 or change it to django-dajaxice?
 
 If I should change de source name, Could somebody explain what is the 
 procedure?

This theme was discussed some weeks before. There was said the main
problem is, if you change the source name you begin with a new package.

All infos about the (old) package stay inside debian until this package
will be deleted.

With the beginning of the (new) package it has to start in the NEW queue
and then it is a new package without any history.

 As iptotal should work with other web-servers supporting CGI, I chose
 to remove the automatic linking and reloading of apache's
 configuration.
 I find it cleaner to start the iptotal daemon, and let the user
 enable the cgi samples that are shipped within the package, and reload
 his webserver. What do you think about that?

 On a second look at the package I found that this is probably the best
 aproach, yes. I would suggest mentioning such in a README.Debian file
 where you could also write about the files being moved around in
 postinst. But that's your call. As a user I would probably be confused
 if files moved from /var/www to /usr/lib to /var/lib. :)

I have added a README.debian explaining the directory changes, and the
way to configure iptotal with apache2.

(I also modified the README.source file to state quilt instead of dpatch.)

 Also, I just saw postrm is empty basically. Please remove it.

Thank you for noticing that. The file has been removed.

 PS: No need to CC me, btw :)

Done ;)

I have uploaded a new version of the package on m.d.n [1].

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Cheers,
 Ignace M

 *Any* package installing files into /var/www violates FHS/policy as

Somewhere under /srv is a better location for the web root(s) and data
managed by the sysadmin.

RFS: sciteproj (updated package)

2010-03-29 Thread Andreas Ronnquist
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my SciteProj package:

Sciteproj is a project manager, giving the possibility to arrange files
in a project, for easy access in the SciTE editor. The project is saved
to disk in XML format.

It uses CMake as build system and its only requirement is GTK and SciTE.

SciteProj is released under the GPL version 3.

It is availible on Mentors:
http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=sciteproj

The dsc, diff.gz and tar.gz is availible here:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sciteproj/

Direct link to dsc:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/sciteproj/sciteproj_0.3.6-1.dsc

Upstream (I am the upstream) homepage is located at
http://sciteproj.sourceforge.net

The upload would fix these bugs: 513231.

Best regards
