Re: RFS: taxbird (updated package)
Hi Olaf, [...] I added NMU-diffs for the debian changes only, because I think adding the upstream diffs from libgeier 0.11 to 0.12 and taxbird from 0.15 to 0.16 don't add any value. [...] I suppose that's fine. I've now done the following: - Built libgeier and uploaded to DELAYED/5. - Fixed the build-dep of taxbird to use glade instead of glade-gnome as there is some semi-broken transition going on. Noted the change in the changelog. - Built and uploaded taxbird to DELAYED/7. Thanks a lot for your work and patience, Michael pgpmdEJHV0aE3.pgp Description: PGP signature
RFS: wmmoonclock (updated package)
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.27-30 of my package wmmoonclock.

Re: RFS: l2tp-ipsec-vpn
Hi Werner, [...] I've taken another look at your package. For reference, I've used http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/l2tp-ipsec-vpn/l2tp-ipsec-vpn_1.0.0-1.dsc dated 29-Jul-2011 09:46. The first thing I stumbled upon was the orig.tar.gz that doesn't match the upstream one. Not only do md5sums differ, but the actual contents does: (... diffstat output) 125 files changed, 116 insertions(+), 404 deletions(-) Although these changes only concern revision control ids, it is IMHO not acceptable to have orig.tar.gz differ in such a way from upstream's tar.gz. Further comments: - The description is clearly improved and the first stanza is appropriate; others, however, should probably only go in some README file. Please see Debian Policy about this, Section 3.4, which provides a very nice guideline what should (not) be included. (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-descriptions) - debian/postinst: * service rsyslog restart || true -- no, there is no service command in general in Debian. And why restart a foreign service!? * Why use gksu when su should do the trick? I really wouldn't want to do system administration remotely with GUI su popping up. - The package build-depends on (and indeed appears to require) libopensc2-dev, which unfortunately is no longer available in Debian. Could you find a way around that, given that you are upstream? Otherwise please speak to the opensc maintainer in Debian about this.

Re: RFS: acsccid (Updated)
Hi, Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package acsccid. Actually, I posted the request about 1 month ago and I did not receive any response here. The package had been updated and fix the following problems: 1. The project is hosted in sourceforge now and watch file is updated. 2. Remove dh_makeshlibs from rules file. 3. Fix non-redistributable reference manual problem. * Package name: acsccid Version : 1.0.2-1 Upstream Author : Advanced Card Systems Ltd. * URL : http://acsccid.sourceforge.net/ * License : LGPL-2.1 Section : libs It builds these binary packages: libacsccid - PC/SC driver for ACS USB CCID smart card readers The package appears to be lintian clean. [...] This may be true, but it doesn't build :-/ Well, to start out in proper order, here's my review results: - Please use DEP-5 format for debian/copyright and please make extra-sure you don't miss any copyright holders as the package seems to have quite a number of them. DEP-5 format will make this much easier to check. - You probably want to add a Depends: on udev instead of merely recommending it in some README file. - configure yields the following result: ... udev support:no ... I'm not sure this is intended. - Your package fails to build from source: ifdhandler.c: In function ‘IFDHControl’: ifdhandler.c:1416:22: error: ‘FEATURE_MCT_READERDIRECT’ undeclared (first use in this function) ifdhandler.c:1416:22: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in make[3]: *** [libacsccid_la-ifdhandler.lo] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/tautschnig/debian/acsccid/acsccid-1.0.2/src' Please get those fixed, then another more thorough package review will follow.

But libbs2b has not been converted to multiarch, so the substitution

Some optimizations (eg. -finline-functions, -funswitch-loops, - -fpredictive-commoning) are set by -O3 4. a different lebiniou tarball than the one from your upstream website The tarballs have possibly gone out-of-sync, I just re-uploaded them. (the .orig.tar.gz is a symbolic link to the .tar.gz generated by 'make dist') Regarding fonts/FreeMono.ttf I'm not sure whether that one needs to be removed from the source tarball too. The previous suggestions I received were to remove it from the tarball and add a dependency on ttf-freefont 1. The public domain license is not printed verbatim in debian/copyright. Needs to be added. The copyright has been set to Public Domain and the license to CC0, included in the 'copyright' file (I hope the text/formating is ok) 2.

OSS as default audio driver upstream (and thus Debian patch) lebiniou also builds on FreeBSD and NetBSD, and for these systems only OSS is available That's perfectly fine, but please note Debian also supports kFreeBSD which builds a GNU user land around the FreeBSD kernel. Your patch effectively breaks such systems, as there is no Alsa available as you said yourself. Nonetheless I agree with you, that defaulting to ALSA is a good idea for Linux. Is there some conditional to override this compiled in choice upon build time? If so, you might consider making use of it, to make your package build on kFreeBSD with different defaults than Linux. For autotools based build systems, you could make use of dpkg-architecture plus conditional branching around it and pass host architecture dependent flags to its configure script. Alternatively you could do the same branching based on compiler preprocessor flags. - -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJONF6NAAoJEMcrUe6dgPNtxdgQAIgYutl/M9QMfGaSmpC8Odxv fr284zDxlExblXIAYyfNuEg/cwNnoZzRP4FAcHijdkG0YCFZRQi3mmQgvRJbvpRm zw69rr326PDHxEP3L8u3TSI2mVQIXPsvrmua8XpNCH86Yk3oFeXWeVS0kDSJJACm VZdFm3hz2RUwlmz1WyzY9rWHD1HTgzq8GYiLTct+MqomLuifuV0UngNlu8G7WkKm iVrqScsRl3RGubYwoKgub8QqWZeaTbBe4VC1dyW78XL0/h0goj1jKobWgux4ZuhM a6w3p3IhqFpcB80UzzWMow/5kIkMoM7fIKIcCDgKEGzZLPsDn9uniCWdNT8s9CDo 9EVouyobXodKFTDtHhUR/Y7gghd/hkg+mBv9O5jZ+QUi5Zla0UeFLSTMnsVct7K9 NxsbjaYyU7e7Vl1JGK1fBMFn62g85ZOwslfyIVNEjQACbRG5ZcOYNWkn2LY1Rs+o UsHtkvT/eqRAPL4UVbB3KDKEi8ZFHNgbFNgZQm+1C+aTGCMdE52/M//25UanBO59 K03DVLmjy19w9YFqi/GINmKjVHoCjYeinYFutAJ3wNk1Xqft3C4HVUh2BYflklvj 4vdxLa+qoWsk1Li288NzUwOT5r84kOkVq/KY3Ymfp9kXmS0JzdvTb3kugXVlzPFh OUuQBUR48C0y8zI+cwXO =x8ug -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Plan for managing the SWISS EPHEMERIS data, virtual packages.
Dear Debian Mentors, I am planing to package the SWISS EPHEMERIS library and its data. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=635672 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=636089 The SWISS EPHEMERIS data is 36 Meg in 54 files. The Swiss Ephemeris library can be used with out installed data if the user has a private copy of the data. I would like to encourage data sharing which is the reason for packaging the Swiss Ephemeris data. Any of the 54 data files could be needed or not needed depending on what the user is doing. For more info about the Swiss Ephemeris see: http://www.astro.com/swisseph/ http://www.astro.com/swisseph/swisseph.htm http://swissephauto.blackpatchpanel.com/ I believe that for desktop users the cost of managing this is less than the cost of installing all the data. It costs for people, either administrators or users to think about things and storage is getting cheap. However some day some one may want to put say, a astrology web server on a low memory device such as home router hardware. These people will want to control exactly what data they will install. I plan to create a package that will include all the data, but I want to provide for people to come a long later and take a more fine grained approach. I propose that each file have its own VIRTUAL PACKAGE. A package with a combination of files would provide and conflict with each virtual package for each file it includes. That way people could create a more fine grained approach to this problem with no risk of two packages providing the same file being installed as the same time. I would like to ask if this is an appropriate use of the virtual package concept? How should I choose the virtual package names? I understand there is a procedure involving Debian-devel consensus for using virtual packages. http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/virtual-package-names-list.txt However, there is an exception: Packages MUST NOT use virtual package names (except privately, amongst a cooperating group of packages) unless they have been agreed upon and appear in this list. Since all packages using these virtual names would be astrology programs using the Swiss Ephemeris or the Swiss Ephemeris library, could this use be viewed as privately, amongst a cooperating group of packages? If so, I could skip the debian-devel consensus step. If I need to go the debian-devel I want to get the bugs out of my plan first. I thank everyone for their input and comments. -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelli...@blackpatchpanel.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.free.blackpatchpanel.com/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
