If possible, I would rather I don't know; i assumed it being bundled here meant it wasn't included. avoid filing an ITP; rather, I'd prefer including libmozjs-dev as a build dependency for 0 A.D (and work with the Debian Mozilla crew if any changes have to be made to libmozjs in order for 0 A.D. to get along with it). Please do. ./binaries/data/mods/public/public.zip - is this meant to be sitting around as a zip, or extracted by something at unpack? Could this be related to the lack of files in binaries/data/mods/ ? The copyright file says there is an art/ and an audio/ dir in there.

In the meantime, it's safe to delete those files from a release (since the FCollada tests don't get run automatically; they're only useful when people are developing FCollada itself). Any chance you could stop shipping the DAE file? otherwise debian will have to repack the tarball. thanks, kk Actually, I have to repack the tarball anyways in order to have 0ad and 0ad-data build from the same source package, although they're offered as 2 separate source packages upstream. I'd question the logic of doing that, I suggest having separate source packages. How big would the two packages be? Also, since fcollada tests aren't run automatically, should i simply just remove those files from my source tarball (along with dbghelp)? eagle.dae? definitely remove it. the supporting code? up to you. I don't want to have to modify the source tarball too much, but it is simply much easier than trying to make sure that every potential copyright/licensing issue is adressed.

Porting the code is trivial, but the problem is ENet 1.3 is protocol-incompatible with 1.2. Cross-platform multiplayer is an important feature, so we need to use the same ENet series (1.2.* or 1.3.*) for every user on every platform to avoid breakages.

A quarter of those are using the year-old 10.04 release, and even the not-yet-released 11.04 seems to be stuck with ENet 1.2 packages, so it'll likely be a couple of years before ENet 1.3 is widely available as a standard package for nearly all users. I don't want to require all those users (not to mention users of older versions of other distros) to install more non-standard packages, since my desire with this whole packaging thing is to make it easier for users, so I think the least problematic approach is to require ENet 1.2 everywhere (with newer distros adding packages for side-by-side installation of 1.2 and 1.3 - several do that already). The main alternative I can imagine is to bundle a copy of ENet 1.3 with the game and use that instead of the system library, if the system library is 1.2. That would let it work automatically and relatively painlessly for users on older distros, while still using the system library on newer distros. But bundling isn't nice and I'd prefer to avoid the added complexity if possible. Unless I'm missing some better option, adding a new ENet 1.2 package to Debian sounds best to me. -- Philip Taylor exc...@gmail.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I can probably get that done for the next alpha release of the game. Vincent, how do you feel about ITPing that too? Isn't spidermonkey already available in Debian? If possible, I would rather avoid filing an ITP; rather, I'd prefer including libmozjs-dev as a build dependency for 0 A.D (and work with the Debian Mozilla crew if any changes have to be made to libmozjs in order for 0 A.D. to get along with it). SpiderMonkey doesn't provide any guarantees of API compatibility. (If they can make Firefox improve by 5% on a benchmark by breaking the API then they'll do so. The API was designed ~15 years ago so it's not surprising they have to tweak it to remain competitive). It also doesn't provide any guarantees of functional compatibility - its JavaScript language feature support might grow or shrink between releases. 0 A.D. depends on some relatively advanced SpiderMonkey features, and functional differences may cause mysterious out-of-sync errors in multiplayer games if players have different versions, so compatibility is important here. The idea behind the SpiderMonkey 1.8.5 release is that *does* provide compatibility, but only within the 1.8.5 series. They've released js185-1.0.0.tar.gz and might do a js185-1.0.1.tar.gz with backported bug fixes or security patches etc. Then at some point in the future there will probably be a js190-1.0.0.tar.gz based on the latest upstream code which will be totally incompatible. js190 and js185 should be separate packages, installed side-by-side, so applications can use whichever stable series they were designed for, instead of forcing every application to upgrade simultaneously whenever there's a new major release. (They all ought to upgrade eventually, but it should be possible to do that gradually.) So libmozjs-dev won't work since it doesn't provide the necessary compatibility, but a libmozjs185-dev would probably be okay (once 0 A.D. gets ported to the latest API changes in it). Actually, I have to repack the tarball anyways in order to have 0ad and 0ad-data build from the same source package, although they're offered as 2 separate source packages upstream. It should be possible to build the two packages completely independently (and the -data package is architecture-independent so it can be built less frequently). The tests in the -build release package optionally run some scripts that are in the -data package, but those script tests are only useful for development and not needed when packaging, so you can just ignore their harmless warning message, and otherwise there should be no build-time dependencies between them. -- Philip Taylor exc...@gmail.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

It used to be exported by a custom 3ds Max plugin but we no longer use that (we export to Collada since ~4 years ago). It's not designed to be a modifiable format, but it's not theoretically impossible to modify - there's a Python script at http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/461 to convert .pmd back into editable Collada format so it can be imported into e.g. Blender, though that currently only works for static meshes and not skeletally-animated ones. I would suggest the the pmd files be removed from the source package and replaced with the _source code_ (the form for modifying) for the models and that the build scripts should convert them to the form used by the engine. For new models and animations, that's effectively what we do (the engine loads the Collada and converts to .pmd at run-time). For old ones, we don't have the modifiable form (except as 3ds Max files scattered around various people's disks and FTP sites - the art process wasn't well organised). For old static meshes, we could use that Python script to convert them into modifiable Collada files and replace the .pmd files with those, and I'd be happy to do that. For old animated meshes, we'd need to extend that script to convert them successfully into Collada, which might be significant work (or might be impossible - I'm not quite sure). It'd be nice to do that, but it probably won't happen any time soon since there's higher-priority problems in this area. For binaries/data/tests/collada/sphere.pmd (the file that was originally mentioned), its purpose is to test the Collada-to-PMD conversion code - we can't replace it with a Collada file and then convert it automatically because that would defeat the point of the test. DejaVuSans.ttf, DejaVuSansMono.ttf, texgyrepagella-regular.otf, texgyrepagella-bold.otf are unmodified originals. Best remove these and package the ones that aren't yet in Debian separately. We don't use those files at build-time or at run-time (they're only used at development-time), so there would be no point packaging them for users. I can exclude those files from the distribution script since that seems the easiest solution. ConvertedPagella-Regular.ttf, ConvertedPagella-Bold.ttf are non-original and derived from texgyrepagella-*. What modifications were done for this? Would it be possible to merge those upstream? No modifications except what FontForge does automatically when saving, which happens to make FreeType render them to bitmaps in a way that looks prettier. But I can exclude those files so it won't matter here anyway. Changed the tarball generation script in http://trac.wildfiregames.com/changeset/9160 Why are you manually creating the tarball, doesn't your build system have the equivalent of `make distcheck` from automake? It doesn't. (The build system is certainly far from ideal, but it sort of works, and I don't have much experience with anything else, so I haven't cared enough to learn and implement any replacement myself, and nobody else has tried replacing it either. We'd probably need a script anyway to generate the Windows installer via Wine and it seems easy enough to do the tarballs the same way.) -- Philip Taylor exc...@gmail.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

(I know, there was a discussion some years ago, but I do not know its result) Policy documents this, but… You can use the ~ character as indicator of sorts before. And using release codenames is often clearer (see e.g. the requirements for backports or stable updates. In your case 1.20-29 - unstable 1.20-29~squeeze1 - stable/squeeze 1.20-29~lenny1- oldstable/lenny 1.20-29~lenny1 1.20.29~squeeze1 1.20-29 Note that this works because squeeze sorts alphabetically after lenny. Now that we will release Wheezy, it will get harder to choose release codenames (as they should [for convenience] sort after wheezy).

RFS: mpg321 (updated package, 2nd try)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.2.13-2 of my package mpg321. It builds these binary packages: mpg321 - Simple and lightweight command line MP3 player The package appears to be lintian clean. Added '-K' option so the user can enable/disable the Basic Keys functionality. This also resolves the 100% CPU problem when mpg321 is run by asterisk for music hold on. Also added a new algorithm when playing files randomly until interrupted. The advertised behavior is much better than the previous one.Thanks to Peter Selinger. The upload would fix this bug: 619773 reported by James Bottomley. The package can be found on mentors.debian.net: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mpg321 - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mpg321/mpg321_0.2.13-2.dsc I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. Kind regards Nanakos Chrysostomos signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hmm, OK. For old static meshes, we could use that Python script to convert them into modifiable Collada files and replace the .pmd files with those, and I'd be happy to do that. Great, please do. For old animated meshes, we'd need to extend that script to convert them successfully into Collada, which might be significant work (or might be impossible - I'm not quite sure). It'd be nice to do that, but it probably won't happen any time soon since there's higher-priority problems in this area. There seems to be Blender import for 3DS Max files and Collada export for Blender so it might be possible to go that route, not sure if those have support for animated meshes though. For binaries/data/tests/collada/sphere.pmd (the file that was originally mentioned), its purpose is to test the Collada-to-PMD conversion code - we can't replace it with a Collada file and then convert it automatically because that would defeat the point of the test. Hmm, ok. DejaVuSans.ttf, DejaVuSansMono.ttf, texgyrepagella-regular.otf, texgyrepagella-bold.otf are unmodified originals. Best remove these and package the ones that aren't yet in Debian separately. We don't use those files at build-time or at run-time (they're only used at development-time), so there would be no point packaging them for users. I can exclude those files from the distribution script since that seems the easiest solution. It sounds like you're embedding glyphs from the fonts in bitmap images. I would suggest at minimum that you switch to doing that at build-time. Preferably you would render text at run-time, since that enables i18n. For finding font files use fontconfig (preferred) and or a build-time parameter for finding them. ConvertedPagella-Regular.ttf, ConvertedPagella-Bold.ttf are non-original and derived from texgyrepagella-*. What modifications were done for this? Would it be possible to merge those upstream? No modifications except what FontForge does automatically when saving, which happens to make FreeType render them to bitmaps in a way that looks prettier. But I can exclude those files so it won't matter here anyway. Here I would suggest doing the conversion at build time until you do the above font stuff. Changed the tarball generation script in http://trac.wildfiregames.com/changeset/9160 Why are you manually creating the tarball, doesn't your build system have the equivalent of `make distcheck` from automake? It doesn't. (The build system is certainly far from ideal, but it sort of works, and I don't have much experience with anything else, so I haven't cared enough to learn and implement any replacement myself, and nobody else has tried replacing it either. We'd probably need a script anyway to generate the Windows installer via Wine and it seems easy enough to do the tarballs the same way.) If you are running this stuff on Debian, please note that there is an nsis package so you do not need to involve wine at all here. Other Linux distributions probably have nsis packages too, or nsis can pretty easily be compiled on Linux if you have a GCC/mingw cross-compiler for win32. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: RFS: denyhosts
I have created a first package to update the maintainer for this and uploaded it on my own personal webspace: If I were allowed to update packages, I would not upload one that only changes the maintainer. Please also fix some bugs in the bug tracker while you are working on this package. There are several bugs providing a patch. At the very least you could review the proposed patches and comment on them in the bug reports. If you decide you like a patch, apply it in your packaging (using the DEP3 to add comments to the patch). Further, lintian informs about several easy to fix issues: Thanks for the comments. I have reviewed the available patches from the BTS and included them in my package. I will continue to work on the other open bugs for this package. Also, I have fixed the lintian issues on this package. I have uploaded the new version of this package here: * URL: http://jkwil.com/~corny/debian/denyhosts/ * dget http://jkwil.com/~corny/debian/denyhosts/denyhosts_2.6-9.dsc This version would close 4 open bugs if uploaded. I am still looking for someone to sponsor this package. Thanks - Kyle Willmon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
