Removed. I also implemented a get-orig-source target to do that. 2) The source of files src/manglerui.h and icons/mangler-icons.h is unclear to me. Both look like machine-generated. Are they? If yes, how would one re-create them? Yep, both are machine-generated, using makefile snippets from their respective directories. I removed both src/manglerui.h and icons/manglericons.h from the source tarball (and in get-orig-source), and added a override_dh_auto_build target in debian/rules to recreate these files during the build. 3) Some of libventrilo3/codec-test/* are without copyright notices, which is suspicious. Are they used in Debian package? If not, better remove them too. Removed (and in get-orig-source, of course). 4) debian/control: please lowercase first letters in short descriptions. Fixed for the libventrilo packages. However, mangler's description starts off with Ventrilo, which is a name, so I think it should remain capitalized. 5) debian/libventrilo-dev.install: don't install .la-file (http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/LAFileRemoval). Fixed. 6) dpkg-shlibdeps report a number of overlinked libraries, you might want to pass --as-needed to a linker. I'll upload this package once/if at least the points 1-3 and 5 are addressed. Partly fixed. dpkg-shlibdeps now throws out 4 warnings instead of about a dozen. However, if I remove the packages in build-depends that dpkg-shlibdeps complains about and re-build, I get the following output during the ./configure step: ... checking for speex... yes checking for celt... yes Enabled optional CELT support. checking for xosd_create in -lxosd... no Optional XOSD support is not enabled. checking for new_g15_screen in -lg15daemon_client... no Optional Logitech G15 support is not enabled. checking for espeak_Initialize in -lespeak... no Optional eSpeak support is not enabled. checking for x11... yes checking for xi... yes ...

Re: Library Question
Paul, I think I did not describe accurately enough, what I want to do and what boundary condidtions are there. Am Sonntag, 8. Mai 2011 schrieb Paul Wise: Since this is about maemo you can do whatever is allowed there. In Debian we would make an update to freetype with a patch targetting the fix, if the issue is severe enough. yes, I understand. In this case it sounds like Navit is being backported? If so the backport would probably be made to depend on a freetype backport. I'm not that familiar with maemo so No, navit is a third party application, which I want to package on maemo. Nokia does not ship any version of Navit (they ship the proprietary OVI maps). Freetype belongs to the core system which is shipped by Nokia, which I do not want to change, since I fear that it breaks other stuff. But applying the patch in question specifically, I might consider it as an option... I doubt we would introduce a freetype2.3.11 nor statically link navit to freetype. Yes, I understand, Debian would not introduce such a hack (although e.g. libdb comes in a number of versions, libdb4.7, libdb4.8, libdb5.0,...). But I am more looking for a tactical short term solution on which I can iterate and improve (e.g. why should I replace the Nokia freetype, when I do not yet know, that this would fix the problem). PS: You may be interested in joining this effort to port Debian to the Nokia N900: http://wiki.debian.org/pkg-n900 Cool, I was not aware of this effort. If GPS and modem support will be added, the have a usable base system, I am really impressed of this effort :-) The biggest challenge are probably the missing hardware drivers (which prohibit e.g. to update the maemo distribution with new kernels).

so for future Mangler sponsorship requests, I'll keep your preferences

Sure, assuming another ITP/RFP bug does not exists for this software. You
have to file a bug against the wnpp pseudo-package.
You can do this by using reportbug(1) (on Debian):
$ reportbug wnpp
Then press '1' (for ITP) and follow the instructions.

under the same license as upstream.
* debian/libtrng-dev.install
- Please remove the usr/lib/*.la entry. *.la files removal was a
Squeeze release goal.
* debian/libtrng-doc.install:
- Installing documentation/examples is better done using
dh_installdocs(1) and dh_installexamples(1).
* debian/rules:
- The intial comments can be removed.
- Your package Build-depends on autotools-dev but is not using it. Add
--with autotools-dev to the dh $@ line.
- No need to override dh_auto_clean, just add the files you want to clean
in the debian/clean file.
- Why are you overriding dh_compress? According to Debian Policy,
additional documentation should be compressed unless it's small. Let
dh_compress decide wheter it is needed or not to compress it.
(also, compressed pdf.gz files are supported by most pdf readers, hence
there's no reason to not compress it)
* debian/libtrng4-0.symbols:
- It may be a good idea to add a *.symbols [0] file for the libtrng4-0
package. See dpkg-gensymbols(1) for more info.
That's all, but there may be something more that I overlooked.
Note that I am not a DD therefore I can't sponsor you package.
Cheers

From dh_compress manpage: By default, dh_compress compresses files that
Debian policy mandates should be compressed [...] files in usr/share/doc
that are larger than 4k in size [...]. No need to compress small files.

Re: Library Question
On Sun, May 8, 2011 at 5:42 PM, Rainer Dorsch rdor...@web.de wrote: No, navit is a third party application, which I want to package on maemo. Nokia does not ship any version of Navit (they ship the proprietary OVI maps). Freetype belongs to the core system which is shipped by Nokia, which I do not want to change, since I fear that it breaks other stuff. But applying the patch in question specifically, I might consider it as an option... Yes, I understand, Debian would not introduce such a hack (although e.g. libdb comes in a number of versions, libdb4.7, libdb4.8, libdb5.0,...). But I am more looking for a tactical short term solution on which I can iterate and improve (e.g. why should I replace the Nokia freetype, when I do not yet know, that this would fix the problem). Yeah, this situation is similar to backporting. If you are unable to workaround the freetype bug in navit or use an older version of navit that works with that version of freetype, then try this: Since the ABI is the same for both versions of freetype, I would suggest introducing a libfreetype6-navit package that contains the newer freetype library in a private directory and adding an rpath to navit pointing at that directory: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rpath_(linking) This is better than static linking since you can upgrade libfreetype6-navit separately to navit. Cool, I was not aware of this effort. If GPS and modem support will be added, the have a usable base system, I am really impressed of this effort :-) The biggest challenge are probably the missing hardware drivers (which prohibit e.g. to update the maemo distribution with new kernels). In addition the freesmartphone.org distribution SHR (based on OpenEmbedded) has a port to the N900 (in the early stages): http://shr-project.org/trac/wiki/Devices/NokiaN900 There is also an Android port: http://www.nitdroid.com/ -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
