then in your debian/rules build rule, you can do something like:

  
  
  
  
MY_VERS=`head -n 1 debian/changelog | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1 |
cut -d'-' -f1`
MY_DEB_REL=`head -n 1 debian/changelog | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1 |
cut -d'-' -f2`
MY_PKGNAME=`head -n 1 debian/changelog | cut -d' ' -f1`

  
  
dpkg-parsechangelog makes this somewhat easier and more robust.

  


Yes, but I'm using this in both deb and rpm building, and of
course,
dpkg-parsechangelog is not available in RPM based distros.

nice

But I cannot build the package. A build log is available at
http://people.debian.org/~twerner/libspring-security-2.0-java_2.0.5.RELEASE-1_i386.build.gz.
I have regenerated the orig tarball with 'debian/rules
get-orig-source'.

You should set JAVA_HOME in debian/rules to make sure ant is using the
right JDK.


Cheers,
Torsten

Thanks for including the log.
The FTBFS was due a missing Build-Depends on libspring-jdbc-2.5-java.
I also set JAVA_HOME in debian/rules.

I committed those change to the git repo and uploaded again to mentors.
Cheers,

 Since 2010-01-31, the version in testing is 1.6.9dfsg-1. This backport
 omits the optional ra_serf repository access method and uses OpenJDK to
 build the javahl bindings.

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

Sure, uploading now.

Re: RFS: gdisk (updated package)

2010-05-02 Thread Paul Wise
2010/5/3 Guillaume Delacour g...@iroqwa.org:

 I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.6.7-1
 of my package gdisk.

I'm not sponsoring extra packages at the moment, nor do I have GPT
hardware, but here is a review:

You should never ever manually add dependencies on a library, always
leave that up to the shlibs mechanism.

You might want to consider adopting debhelper 7 and DEP-5:

https://penta.debconf.org/dc9_schedule/events/418.en.html
http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/

Having these options in the g++ flags is a bad idea: -L/opt/local/lib
-L/usr/local/lib

The upstream README includes installation instructions, please ask
upstream to separate that out into README.install since it is useless
to users of packages.

The upstream CHANGELOG file looks like it should be renamed to NEWS:

http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#NEWS-File
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/standards.html#Change-Logs

The upstream manual page suggests that gdisk is beta and is fairly
buggy. Should you mention this in the package description? Should such
buggy software really be in Debian?

dh_installman installs manual pages in a policy-compliant way, no need
to do it manually.

crc32.* are GPLv2+ while the rest seems to be GPLv2, you should
probably document that in debian/copyright.

gdisk is available in several other distributions, you can use 'whohas
gdisk' to find out where. There don't appear to be any bugs/patches,
but you should check for them now and then.
