Everything seems fine. Just one small thing: you're suggesting libgis-doc (=
${binary:Version}). libgis-doc is an Arch:all package, and binary:Version
doesn't apply there. I suggest to entirely drop the version, since it's
documentation, and there's no need of a strict dependency.
After fixing this (just do a commit with that change), and pushing the
remaining branches/tags, I'll upload it.
Kindly,

Ok, I removed the version and pushed the changes.
I just moved the debian/0.4.2-1 tag this time since it's an initial
release, I hope that's alright. In the future I'll make a changelog
entry and add a new tag.

Re: RFS: webhoneypot
Hi Benoit and Ansgar
I've gone through the messages and uploaded the new package to
mentors.debian.net.
Could you check it?
- lintian reports these warnings on the binary package (run
No more messages (I built the 1st package on Lenny. Now I have a
Squeeze-System for that :-)
- Your debian/rules file could be greatly simplified if you make use of
debhelper's default behavior. For example, you can use a
debian/install file and let dh_install copy the files automatically
instead of overriding the install target. See [1] and the debhelper
documentation for details.
Thanks for this hint. It really simplified my rules file.
- I'm not very familiar with debconf, but it doesn't seem like you're
doing anything with it in debian/{pre,post}inst. If it's intentional,
you should remove those files. The same goes for webhoneypot.config.
Okay, that was a remainder of some tests I did. I simply forgot to remove it.
- debian/README.debian should be word wrapped at around 80 chars.
Done
- Please consider using DEP-5 [2] format for your debian/copyright
file.
Done
I hope this helps.
It did a lot.
Kind regards,
Chris

However, I am not expert in packaging, and some information is obviously missing. If you can fill the blanks, that would be awesome. Please, CC. | As a result, it became possible to execute debian/rules with | 'build-indep' and 'build-arch' targets correspondingly. No, you can not, at least not in general. That is exactly the problem. The build-indep and build-arch targets are optional and can't be detected reliably. So dpkg-buildpackage has to call the build target even if it only wants to build indep or arch packages. It is only possible after you manually verified the package does have those targets, which makes them rather useless. The more usefull case is calling the binary-indep or binary-arch targets, which then only depend on build-indep or build-arch respectively. But since that then builds as (fake)root autobuilders don't do that without having called build first. | In practice I can't think of any real world example where this | scenario can be used. The only useful application may be with | autobuilders that build a lot of packages from scratch, i.e. in empty | environment on different systems. All autobuilders do exactly that. They only build the arch packages and start from a clean chroot. Installing packages into the build chroot for each build is a huge drain, esspecially for things like fonts that get reindexed every time (those 'this might take a while' messages). | Some people argue that 'build' not necessary calls 'build-indep' or | 'build-arch', because policy says that it should call, not must | call.

I believe there are several cases. And autobuilders can build them just fine. The secret is to have the binary-% targets depend on build-% instead of build. The build targets itself can potentially do nothing. That way build-indep and build-arch are called as needed although at a later time and as (fake)root. It certainly isn't nice to do this but it is the only way to make Build-Depends-Indep usefull. Note: A less ugly case is having build depend on build-arch but not build-indep. That way autobuilders build as normal user and only the indep packges are build as (fake)root.

One question: how did you get lintian to report the first-person... and

I'll wait with the new package till I can configure debian/watch i.e. the

demands a new version numbering.
