Adopting: maintainer change in debian/changelog
Hi guys, question: if I am adopting a packet, what's the procedure for altering debian/copyright (dep5)? Since I've learned that the Maintainer: field is for the upstream developer, should I just take over the copyright for Files: debian/*? What's with the licence itself, when it's Expat that should last or could it be altered - why shouldn't?

Since I've learned that the Maintainer: field is for the upstream developer, should I just take over the copyright for Files: debian/*? Yes, that's what I usually do - also keeping the former maintainer's copyright notice for the years gone by, of course. What's with the licence itself, when it's Expat that should last or could it be altered - why shouldn't? I think that if you want to change a license on existing files, you may want to check with the other (former) copyright holders to see if they're okay with their files distributed under the new license. This might not be needed if the new license is just as restrictive or more restrictive than the old - but only if it does indeed include *all* the restrictions the old one did. In general, it doesn't hurt to ask :) Of course, IANAL and it just might be worth it for you to bring this up on the debian-legal list, just in case.

(future unblock) RFS: mobile-broadband-provider-info (updated package)
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 20101106-1
of my package mobile-broadband-provider-info.
It builds these binary packages:
mobile-broadband-provider-info - database of mobile broadband service providers
The package appears to be lintian clean.
Rationale for freeze exception:
(In view of previous unblocks I m quoting the relevant parts from my
previous mails):
[/quote]
I uploaded a new version because it supports new networks fixing
bug(s) back in ubuntu and here is the upstream changes
log
http://git.gnome.org/browse/mobile-broadband-provider-info/log/
also from the README file
The Package contains only informational files so it's
safe for distributions to grab updates even during feature freeze and
maintenance stages.
henceforth I am attaching the debdiff from the present version in
sid/squeeze for your kind review
[/unquote]
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mobile-broadband-provider-info
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mobile-broadband-provider-info/mobile-broadband-provider-info_20101106-1.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Kind regards

The source package still contains the upstream patch generated by dpkg-source (debian/patches/debian-changes-0.04-4). Please either: a) Rename the patch to some meaningful name and edit its header as suggested by the template, or b) I can't see the point for adding the two files (StayPuft.afm, StayPuft.enc) which should only be useful for Type 1 fonts. If so, you may just drop the patch and log the reason. 2. No need to invoke 'fc-cache' in postinst, as fontconfig is already triggered on any change under /usr/share/fonts.

Re: RFS: 9menu (updated package)
Hi Three things you might want to correct in the next upload: · debian/rules: The override_dh_auto_clean target is not necessary as it just calls dh_auto_clean with no options. Done! · debian/rules: You should remove the generated upstream changelog in the clean target. For example by calling dh_clean changelog. Done! · There is a warning from dpkg-shlibdeps: dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libXext.so.6 could be avoided if debian/9menu/usr/bin/9menu were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols). You should try not linking against the library and check if 9menu still works correctly. For this, I've created the patch 06_Imakefile.diff , please check out: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/9/9menu/9menu_1.8-4.dsc Regards Daniel -- Epsilon http://www.rinconinformatico.net http://www.fitnessdeportes.com http://www.dragonjar.org Linux user: #477840 Debian 6.0 Squeeze -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
