That fixes both the issues. See maint-guide §3.3 [0].
Also, since what some of the built packages do is downloading the
firmwares from an external sites you may also point it out in the
packages' descriptions (just like flashplugin-nonfree does).
The debian/ directory looks dirty. All the *.debhelper.log and *.substvars
shouldn't be there.
You probably are using the lintian override wrongly:
I: b43-fwcutter source: unused-override no-upstream-changelog
And finally the watch file looks weird (at least to uscan(1)):
Newest version on remote site is 009, local version is 013
b43-fwcutter: remote site does not even have current version
For bonus points you could also convert the debian/copyright file to use
the DEP5 format [1].
Please note that I'm not a DD, therefore I can't sponsor your package.

with
PREFIX ?= $(DESTDIR)/usr
That fixes both the issues. See maint-guide §3.3 [0].
Just a note: adding DESTDIR to PREFIX, BINDIR, MANDIR, etc in the
upstream Makefile is not always the best solution. Sometimes part of
the install (or even the build) process consists of updating some
configuration files, documentation, etc. with the actual locations of
some files and directories on the target system; if one appends DESTDIR
to those directories, the results might be... funny :)
A much better approach is to make the installation process
DESTDIR-aware - look through all the install* targets in the Makefile
and add a ${DESTDIR} at any places that do not have it. For example, if
the upstream Makefile has something like this:
install-program:
install (some options) fooclient ${PREFIX}/bin
install (some options) fooserver ${PREFIX}/sbin
...that should be changed to:
install-program:
install (some options) fooclient ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/bin
install (some options) fooserver ${DESTDIR}${PREFIX}/sbin
This achieves both goals - the files end up in the DESTDIR tree and
PREFIX, BINDIR, etc keep their real values that correspond to the
paths where the files will be at runtime.
Of course, the change should then be forwarded upstream :)
G'luck,
Peter

RFS: triggerhappy (retry)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package triggerhappy. * Package name: triggerhappy Version : 0.3.4-1 Upstream Author : Stefan Tomanek stefan.tomanek...@wertarbyte.de * URL : https://github.com/wertarbyte/triggerhappy * License : GPLv3 Section : utils It builds these binary packages: triggerhappy - global hotkey daemon for Linux The package appears to be lintian clean. My motivation for maintaining this package is: I've written this little daemon software to allow the global handling of hotkeys. While many window managers offer such a functionality, they require a specific user being logged in, having the focus and running an X session. Triggerhappy observes the input device files provided by the kernel and can react to pressed keys, switches and buttons even on headless systems. It offers a few distinct features that set it apart from the few existing solutions: * system scope There is no need for anyone being logged in, since the daemon operates on a system wide scale, allowing e.g. the regulation of volume while using the console or the login manager. * hotplug capabilities A running triggerhappy daemon (thd) can handle an arbitrary number of input devices; devices can be added and removed without restarting the daemon by calling a helper program. A udev rule to inform the daemon about new devices is included. * optional exclusive grabbing of devices While usually running alongside the normal X session, thd can grab devices exclusively when instructed to do so; this way input events from those devices won't be handled by other software * generating synthetic events triggerhappy can not only launch arbitrary commands, but also generate input event itself by using uinput. By doing so, thd can grab input events from a device exclusively while channeling or even remap selected input events * support of different modes The triggerhappy daemon supports modes, allowing one to define several sets of key binding. Modes can be switched on-the-fly using the th-cmd command line utility or a predefined key Having this package uploaded to Debian would fill the gap I tried to fill by developing and packaging this tool; I'm using it on my notebook systems to regulate volume, as well as on my armel-Dockstar systems to control an mpd media player, where it proved useful as well due to its low memory footprint. Considering that there is currently no other software offering these features, I'd really appreciate the addition of my program to Debian. If you'd like to see any changes in the program or package, feel free to contact me.

RFS: gadmin-rsync (adopted, updated package)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.1.7-1 of my package gadmin-rsync. this package is unmaintained, having upstream release and this package very useful for studying rsync.

RFS: hiredis - Minimalistic C client library for Redis
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package hiredis.
* Package name: hiredis
Version : 0.9.2-1
Upstream Author : Salvatore Sanfilippo anti...@gmail.com
* URL : https://github.com/antirez/hiredis
* License : BSD-3-Clause
Section : libs
It builds these binary packages:
libhiredis0-dev - Minimalistic C client library for Redis (development files)
libhiredis0 - Minimalistic C client library for Redis
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 612601 (ITP)
My motivation for maintaining this package is: There is no C library
for interacting with the Redis database in the Debian repository (only Perl,
PHP, Erlang and Python AFAIK). It is also the official C client library
for Redis (it is written by Redis' authors) and I think it is a good
candidate to enter the Debian repository.
The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hiredis
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/hiredis/hiredis_0.9.2-1.dsc
And on git.debian.org:
- URL: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/hiredis.git
- git clone git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/hiredis.git
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Kind regards
Alessandro Ghedini

Hello Didier,

here is my (promised) review, with some delay; please forgive me for that;
life took over…
No problem, and thanks for the review.
I've just uploaded the new upstream version (0.4.9) of the package, released
a couple of days ago. It fixes some issues (e.g. the wrong systemd service
file path) and it also adds some new nice features. The most notable is the
addition of a 'ulatency' python script, which is basically, a simple client
for the daemon.
Since it depends on python and some other python modules I decided
to add a new binary package for it (called 'ulatency') so that if someone
do not want the client, he is not force to install all its python
dependencies.
Hope it's not a problem for you to review the new version as well.
You can find the new package on mentors.d.n:
dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/u/ulatencyd/ulatencyd_0.4.9-1.dsc
As well as on git:
git clone git://git.debian.org/collab-maint/ulatencyd.git
Now some questions:
* Why don't you ship the systemd service file? With systemd around the
corner, you will certainly end up adding it in the future. And why are you
stripping it away with a patch (where you could dh_auto_install to
debian/tmp and have a ulatencyd.install file to opt files _in_) ? I would
just correct the path in this install file and be done with it.
Indeed. The wrong path issue has been fixed upstream, so that now the
systemd service file gets installed properly. Regarding the patch, I simply
found adding a patch easier, but your solution is more elegant.
In the new version of the package there's another patch that makes a file
to be installed. In this case I chose a patch to report more easily the
problem upstream (I've already forwarded that patch, and it is being
merged).
* Your debian/init.d isn't named correctly (IMHO). man dh_installinit tells
us that it should be named debian/ulatency.init (or debian/init, but I very
much prefer being explicit). As for the names, it's the same for logrotate,
manpages and docs (but don't worry, it's mostly a matter of taste).
I've fixed the names for all the files. Since now two binary packages
are built, it's not a matter of taste anymore (particularly for the
*.manpages ones) :)
* Deactivation of the tests: why do you disable the tests ? Build tests
should be run and they should not fail (obviously…). You should either
comment your debian/rules explaining the reasons or (preferably) convince
upstream to patch (or patch yourself) the tests in order to be able to run
within the buildd environment.
The tests need the ulatencyd daemon to be running, which needs its core
library properly installed under /usr/lib/... AFAIK this is not possible at
build time, unless build-depending circularly on the ulatencyd package
itself. I have now documented this in the rules file though.
* debian/gbp.conf should not be in the source package; having a
debian/source/local-options to filter it out sounds nice.
Fixed... I think. I renamed the debian/gbp.conf to .gbp.conf and added
the extend-diff-ignore local-option to ignore it. Is this what you
suggested or is there a better solution?
Any news about this?
Cheers
