Re: RFS: taxbird (updated package)

2011-07-21 Thread Michael Tautschnig
Hi Olaf,

Sorry for the late reply (and it seems that all other people are busy as well
:-/).

[...]
 
 I added two messages to the bug report #619734, including the diffs for
 the packages.
 
 I also uploaded new versions of libgeier (0.12-1.1) and taxbird
 (0.16-1.1) based on the packages, Marvin provided on his homepage.
 
[...]

I'm seeing two problems here:

- The NMU bug against libgeier should also be filed against libgeier package; in
  this case it was just appended to 619734.
- The NMU is (intentionally) based on Marvin's packages, which, however, don't
  exist in Debian (if they did, there wouldn't be too much of a need for an
  NMU).

Could you please build version -0.1 instead of 1.1, which combine Marvin's
changes and your modifications into on version, and then update the NMU diffs?
You will want to gzip those, as they will obviously be much larger, including
all the new upstream changes.

Thanks a lot,
Michael

Re: RFS: eviacam

2011-07-21 Thread Paul Gevers
As promised, here is my review.

 I am looking for a sponsor for my package eviacam.
 
 * Package name: eviacam
   Version : 1.5.2
   Upstream Author : Cesar Mauri ce...@crea-si.com
 * URL : http://viacam.org
 * License : GPL

Version 3 or higher according to your copyright file.

   Section : x11
 
 It builds these binary packages:
 eviacam- A cross platform webcam based mouse emulator

For Debian it is not relevant that this software is cross platform. Also
the synopsis should not start with A. I would suggest:
eviacom - webcam based mouse emulator

 I was able to fix most Lintian errors and warnings, but I feel that to
 fix the remaining warnings I would need some help.
 
 W: eviacam source: non-native-package-with-native-version

This should be solved by adding a DEBIAN version to the version number
in your changelog. I.e. 1.5.2-1.

 W: eviacam source: empty-debian-diff

This is because your upstream package already includes the debian
directory and there are no changes to be put in the diff and you are
using source 1.0 (implicit). If you want to continue also distributing
the debian directory in the upstream release I strongly suggest using
source version 3.0 (quilt) to avoid problems with NMU's. See also
dpkg-source(1).

 Please, answer me in CC.

Done.

Further, my comments on your debian/* files:
changelog
- As mentioned above, include the Debian version in the first line
- Close your ITP bug in the first entry like so:
* Initial release (closes: #634840 )
- Please update the time stamp to something more appropriate

changelog.in
- Not sure if this will be useful in the future. You will most likely
  be editing the changelog manually (with the help of dch)

compat
- I believe ideas about which version should be used for new packages
  varies from sponsor to sponsor, but 7 or 8 is most common nowadays. Of
  course this influences your build dependencies.

control
- Your standards version is very old. The current version is 3.9.2.
  Check what you need to change, and update accordingly.
- Any reason for not having priority optional?
- Consider putting your Debian packaging in a VCS and add the
  appropriate tags
- I don't think it is appropriate to mention the website in the
  description. The Homepage field is made for this purpose.
- As mentioned above, improve the short description
- I am no native speaker but I believe a software is rather strange.
  If you want to improve the description you could ask on
  debian-l10n-engl...@lists.debian.org
- I don't have understanding of wx2, but do your recommends work, i.e.
  does the package find the right version, depending on the development
  package used in the build-depends?

copyright
- Not mandatory, but quite some sponsors want it: consider to change
  your copyright file to the DEP5 format [1].
- Please link to the versioned GPL in common-licenses.
- You did not include the copyright information of all the files. The
  copyright file MUST list all the copyright holders and all licenses
  of ALL files in your project.

dirs
- I don't think you need this with this content.

docs
- NEWS is empty, don't install it.
- Why install README.ca and not README.es?

rules
- I find the clean target a little strange, why copy the config.sub and
  config.guess there?
- Clean up commented lines
- Not sure, but I think quite some options in your ./configure line are
  added by the builder automatically.


Further comments:

Please include a watch file.

Your package is newer than the latest upstream release. As you are
upstream yourself, why didn't you create this new release yet?

The package FTBFS (fails to build from sourse) with the following error:
configure: error: Couldn't find linux/videodev.h nor libv4l1-videodev.h
Adding libv4l-dev to the build-depends helps to start building the
package. It would help to build your own packages in a clean environment
to check against such problems (and build in sid as well). Tools such as
pbuilder can help you there.

With libv4l-dev, it still FTBFS with the output as found below. The
complete output can be found here [2] (for a month).

Hope this helps to improve the package.

 Dear mentors,
Hi Vincent,
 
 I am looking for a sponsor for my package gecrit.
[SNIP]
 
 * Package name: gecrit
  Version : 2.7-1
  Upstream Author : Groza Cristian kristi9...@gmail.com
 * URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gecrit/

 I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Below are my remarks but note that I'm just DM and hence can't sponsor your 
package.

Things to improve:
* Your orig.tar.gz has a different md5 than the upstream tarball.
* Vcs-Svn should use anonscm link
* Dependency on ${python:Depends} is for python modules, not python programs 
and hence is useless
* Same thing for X-Python-Version, it's for python modules

Neutral comments:
dpkg-gencontrol generate a warning about shlibs:Depends [0] but I'm not sure 
it's a good idea to remove the ${shlibs:Depends}. A future version of the 
package could needs shared library so you can ignore this warning.

[0] dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package gecrit: unknown 
substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}

On the good sides:
* No lintian warning, even with -I --pedantic. Congratulations.
* Happy to see a DEP5 copyright (not required by policy), especially since 
config-edit -application dpkg-copyright -ui none seems happy with it
* Package don't FTBFS.

Hi Nicolas,

IANADD (twb told me, I shall be lazy!), here are some comments on your

 On 21.07.2011 09:13, Nicolas wrote:
 I am looking for a sponsor for my package phing.

* Please extend description of the -doc package. Its a bit too short.
You don't need to be too verbose, but please expand it by a few words.
For example you could tell what exactly the package contains and what
its purpose is. Compare with other -doc packages in Debian to get an idea

* Your copyright looks pretty good, however Copyright: 2001,2002
THYRELL is probably a bit to few of information. Maybe add a contact
address, I noticed in the code is listed one. Same for 2003,
seasonfive. Yes, this is pure pedantry - feel free to ignore this.

* There is a new upstream release. Please consider packaging it.
Besides, the checksums of your orig.tar.gz don't not match with
upstream's package, being it the full package or the PEAR one. Please
don't touch it.

$ sha1sum phing-2.4.5.tgz.1
bf4c5e709c9141555c299e02aab8ac80cddd2cf7  phing-2.4.5.tgz.1 (this is PEAR)

367c6a92bee3d3c73c6b36c9afa35a122c1eb11c  phing_2.4.5.orig.tar.gz

* What's /usr/share/php/phing/etc for? Those files don't look like
something which should be put in a etc-directory. I'm fine if you keep
it that way in /usr/share/php/phing/etc, I'm just trying to find out,
whether those files are meant to be touched at all. If so, they
shouldn't reside in /usr.

* In debian/rules, please remove unneeded comments dh-make produced.

* Please generate your manpage during build. It seems to me, you ship it
pre-compiled from the SGML man page you wrote.

* Similar case for the API docs you package straight from the tarball.
The DFSG mandate that a software package is available from source and
its processing must be self-containing (e.g. compare with the preferred
form for modification from the GPL license). For the generated API docs
this means, there must be a way to regenerate those docs by means the
main archive provides. You don't necessarily need to do this when
producing the binary package, but please add at least a README.source
file, where you document how to regenerate those API docs, upstream
ships, if desired.

* Your upstream tarball contains regression tests. Consider running them
during build.

Good work. Those are almost all cosmetic changes.

RFS: libbs2b and bs2b-ladspa

2011-07-21 Thread Andrew Gainer
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my packages libbs2b and bs2b-ladspa.

* Package name: libbs2b
  Version : 3.1.0-1
  Upstream Author : Boris Mikhaylov boris_mikhay...@users.sourceforge.net
* URL : http://bs2b.sourceforge.net
* License : GPL-2 and others
  Section : libs

It builds these binary packages:
libbs2b-dev - Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP library development files
libbs2b0   - Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP library

-- and --
* Package name: bs2b-ladspa
  Version : 0.9.1-1
  Upstream Author : Sebastian Pipping sebast...@pipping.org and Boris 
Mikhaylov boris_mikhay...@users.sourceforge.net
* URL : http://bs2b.sourceforge.net
* License : GPL-2 and others
  Section : sound

It builds these binary packages:
bs2b-ladspa - Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural DSP LADSPA plugin


The package appears to be *sort of* lintian clean.
* There are several old-fsf-address-in-copyright-file warnings. Is the correct 
procedure on these to correct the license texts (seems fishy) or leave them 
alone (and let lintian yell at me)?
* libbs2b gives no-symbols-control-file usr/lib/libbs2b.so.0.0.0. A quick bit 
of Googling leads me to believe that this isn't very important for a 
slow-moving API like this library's, but my knowledge of the inner workings of 
the linking system is pretty rudimentary. Input on this or other aspects of 
library packaging would be much appreciated.
* libbs2b also gives source-contains-prebuilt-windows-binary 
win32/sndfile/libsndfile-1.dll, which is true. Of course, I'm not using the 
win32 files at all, so I guess the best thing to do is just to strip them out, 
but I'm not sure what the Debian Way to do this is.

The upload would fix these bugs: 634993, 634994

My motivation for maintaining this package is: I use this library and LADSPA 
plugin daily for serious headphone listening. It has also attracted some 
interest from the community. Some nontrivial number of these audiophile users 
are moving into Linux by way of the Voyage-MPD project, which is Debian-based; 
an official Debian package would help these users, many of whom would not be 
comfortable with compiling software by hand, to try use bs2b in their systems.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libbs2b
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main

Fix them in debian/copyright and ask upstream to fix them in the source code.

[0] It's likely not the optimal way to package a Python application, 
but oh well…


Please expand on this a bit...is this an issue with my debian 
packaging, or an issue with upstream's build system? If it's the 
former, I'll gladly fix it; I'm also in contact with upstream, so if 
it's the latter, I can get that fixed as well. Thanks!


I don't have strong opinion on how a Python application should be 
packaged from upstream POV. (However, please note that due to hardcoded 
paths in the gecrit script, it won't work on non-Debian systems...)


As for Debian packaging, you should move the Python modules into a 
private directory, e.g. /usr/share/gecrit/.

Hi Rodolfo,

 I have a question about debian uploader. I am DU for one package, but
 when I upload it to the ftp-master the package is deleted (after some
 time). I suppose is because my pgp  key is not in the debian keyring (it
 is in mentors), but I am not sure.

By uploader you mean, you are a sponsored maintainer? If so, you can't
upload. You rely on your sponsor to upload packages, whether you are
listed in there or not.

This is by design. To actually upload packages to Debian, you must be a
Debian developer or a Debian Maintainer. The latter have restricted
upload capabilities. Please read [1] for further explanations. Also ask
your sponsor whether he's willing to advocate you (and set the DMUA [2]
flag successively)
