Re: RFS: daisy-player (next try, new upstream version)
Hi Samuel and other readers, Thanks for your review. I was away for a week so it took me some time to respond. Upstream released several newer versions taking most comments into account. I comment below on earlier issues for completeness. On 01/30/11 17:15, Samuel Thibault wrote: - daisy-player.desktop changes should be forwarded upstream. Done, and included in the latest release (still needs a typo patch thou). - you should ask upstream to remove -s from LDLIBS, and rather use install -s instead. Bonus: when building without installing, you have the debugging symbols. Forwarding done (in the mean time I patch the Makefile to not use the -s). - you should ask upstream to use a -DPREFIX=/usr/local instead of hardcoding it. Forwarding done. I thought about this before, but I preferred that he fixed other issues first. - you can detect the list of locales by using LST1:=$(wildcard daisy-player.*.po) LST2:=$(patsubst daisy-player.%.po,%,$(LST1)) Great tip, included in the current version. Known issues (comments welcome): - I have asked upstream to add license and copyright notices to the translation files. Indeed, that's missing. Do you know if the notices are just missing and debian/copyright is actually accurate already? Upstream has added the notices. My d/copyright was already accurate. - I have asked upstream to move the .daisy-player.rc file to the already existing .daisy-player directory. I don't see this? The file is created when you run daisy-player, so it is not present in the packaging. Upstream didn't respond to this request yet. - Upstream ships the icons in a zipped tar file. Should I ask him to ship them directly (in a sub-directory for instance) or is unzipping at build time also fine? Is there really a reason for them to ship it in a tarball? If not, they'd rather just unpack it. Else it's not too bad to have it as a tarball. It is now unpacked in the upstream tarball. - Get an agreement with upstream on the description of daisy-player in the desktop and manual file. I guess it is related with my comment above. Upstream uses my description, so: done. The only barring point is whether debian/copyright has proper information for the translation files. The rest should be OK for a first upload. Good to hear.

Adding a symlink to a library in postinst
Dear Mentors, The package I'm maintaining (moodle) is handling embedded libraries by not shipping them in a binary package and then replacing them with a symlink. Adding symlink is done in postinst, e.g.: [ ! -h /usr/share/moodle/lib/yui ] ln -s /usr/share/javascript/yui /usr/share/moodle/lib/yui This seems to be the best way to handle this but I'm wondering why is it done in postinst script. Removing bundled libraries is done while building the package (in debian/rules), I think I could simply create a symlink at this point and ship it as part of the package. Do you see any problem with it? Tomek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Lemmens Daisy-player - Version 6.1.1 A parser to play Daisy CD's with Linux play FAIL formats: no handler for file extension `mp3' This happens due to the fact that I installed sox=14.3.1-1 from Debian/unstable, but the required libsox-fmt-mp3 is not present by default. This should probably be taken into account in the Dependency-List of daisy-player, i.e. installing either libsox-fmt-mp3 fixes the problem.

You will probably need to deal with upgrades from the old version though, by removing the symlink in preinst, then it will be re-added when the package is unpacked. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
