Re: Cavalry
Noone said that your package is not very useful. Debian provides an enormous set of packages. Therefore, the people here would like to see what your package has to to offer in addition to what is available in Debian already. You have to convince them of the usefulness of your package. * Explain how your package provides a good way for people with low-quality connections to access remote data * Convince the people here that there is no other package package providing the same features yet If you don't there will be litttle chance that your package will be included indeed. And indeed, if you do not provide any source code it will not be very useful to talk about anything your package does.

Re: RFS: open-axiom
Thanks! 2011/8/31 David Bremner brem...@debian.org OK, for first upload this is fine. As you probably read in your email by now, I have uploaded the current version. You will have to wait for the ftp-masters to approve (or not) the new package(s) for the archive. Feel free to contact me directly for future versions. One thing I noticed while testing is that the default fonts in hyperdoc are quite bad (super-pixelly) on my system. I think this is because they are probably set to nonexistant (at least on my system). Things got a bit better when I over-rode to use e.g. OpenAxiom.hyperdoc.RmFont: lucidasans-14 in my .Xresources Maybe for the next upload you could investigate a bit, and possibly include some hints or a template .Xresources. d

In that case, I would've suggested a link to the wayback machine, so that the link is something that exists at the time of upload. Not something that's known to be gone, and can only be unearthed via the wayback machine or similar services. In my interpretation, the Source field should document where the sources can be obtained from at the time of packaging, not some other place that disappeared years ago, even if that was the original source. Or, since one can include free-form explanation in the Source field aswell, it can be mentioned that CVS is available, but it used to be here-and-here. That way you document both the original source, and a place where it's still available from. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I know that dwm is already present in main, but its oudated and I have no news from the maintainer that i contacted by email a week ago. I would be thankfull if you could give me any advice on my package so i can make it better. Kind regards, Hello, Dwm is indeed part of the archive. Contacting the maintainer was a good idea (a wishlist bug could have been enough, too), but one week is a very short amount of time. What you are trying to do (orphaning the package #639657) could be considered an aggressive takeover :-) Another thing is that your source package does reuse the current one at all (lintian complains about left dh_make templates). To hack on packages, it's a better idea to start from the existing (that you can obtain with apt-get source) and maybe to use a VCS helper such as git-buildpackage ; that's what the maintainer is doing and you can see his work on http://git.webconverger.org/?p=dwm . If you want to upgrade dwm, the best thing to do is probably to wait a little more for an answer from the maintainer. In the meantime, you can prepare a new version on top of his work, and submit that to him. If you don't have more news, then you can consider looking for a sponsor for a NMU. -- Etienne Millon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Thanks for the other advice, I will work with the package that he already made next time. And just for the curiosity, what you mean by left dh_make template? If the package doesn't need for exemple a post-install script, should-I delete it or (that's what I tought) I should keep it there but with nothing important in? I read all the maintainer guide, it's just that I want to do the best package. :-) And by the way, I'm used to use slackbuilds to make packages for Slackware, dh_make and dpkg-buildpackage are pretty awesome compare to those. :)
Re: ITP: tickr -- GTK-based highly graphically-customizable RSS Feed Ticker (previously named i-news)
Dear debian mentors, As I am still looking for a sponsor for my package tickr, I wanted to mention a few things: - 'tickr' is somewhat similar to 'knewsticker' and 'gnews'. - If I'm right, 'knewsticker' is no longer available with KDE4 and 'gnews' is not maintained anymore. - I also found a package named 'ticker' which only provides a text scroller inside a terminal, without rss parsing ability or graphical options. So I do think there is a lack of this kind of application.
