Hi Andrei, On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 03:39:12AM +0400, andrei karas wrote: I will update packages after releasing next version. Good. I dont know what write in public domain license field. It should be short explanation about public domain license or about code? And where i can find it? This is not entirely clear to me either. Maybe someone else can comment on this? What is obvious from reading dep5 is that both Copyright and License are required. In this case it seems necessary to duplicate the public-domain information to both fields and add the explanation (presumably the URL) to the License field. Empty directories need for support for default theme with different name. Should i add lintian override for this? Yes. This seems to be one of the few cases lintian overrides are good for.

Your description of the package in debian/control is not acceptable. While the short description looks ok, the long description must go into further details. A user who has never heard of this software should be able to understand what it does just by reading this text. Your debian/rules file basically needs to be rewritten. It contains boiler plate like # Sample debian/rules that uses debhelper. It would also help to compress the file by using e.g. dh. Why do you depend on debhelper 8 again when you don't even use dh? Also your debian/copyright doesn't list license headers and uses an unversioned link to the GPL. Please reread the corresponding sections of the Debian policy. While you are at it you might want to look into http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/ to format your copyright file. Even though using this format is not required lintian can parse parts of it and help you spot mistakes. Maybe you can also add a .menu file. Unfortunately there are currently two competing and incompatible menu systems in Debian. One is .desktop and the other is menu. Some desktop environments choose to only look at the former (e.g. gnome) and others choose to only look at the latter (e.g. fluxbox, awesome). So the only way to make your package visible in all menus unfortunately is to ship both. Since your package ships themes worth more than 3MB you should split your package to an Architecture: all package. Otherwise these 3MB are multiplied by the number of architectures on each mirror.

Re: Notes about mentors.debian.net
Hi Arno, 1) Successfully uploaded packages are not deleted from mentors.debian.net as it was earlier. There is no even such option in account settings. So people should remove own packages manually. Not all need current functional for package reviewing... There is a setting. If you are logged in, you can remove a package by clicking on the Delete package link. You have read my message carelessly. Read this cite again please. I have wrote about possibility to delete a package manually. But option for _automatic_ deletion in an _account_settings_ is not the same that a hyperlink for manual deletion in a package page. 2) There is no any marker that a package was uploaded to the Debian in package details page. Such packages are being removed (again) in future. The code is already there [1]. Sounds good. This is a really important function. 3) Some time ago it was very interesting field with counter in package details page. That counter was showing the number of downloads by potential sponsors. There is no such useful counter now. Was it something wrong with its algorithm? I didn't assume anyone would miss it. Apparently people do, so it may come back in future. Or, if you want, send me a patch enabling it. Unless I am mistaken we have some code tracking it already. Unfortunately I have no enough free time to investigate this code and make own patches. Maybe I will look it later. Very later... Thanks for reply. Regards, Boris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

On debian-legal[1] I've been told that using the kinect word in the project name should be OK, and that —because of the use of a binary firmware— the package needs to go in 'contrib', so I choose 'contrib/sound' as the section.

Hi,
the package does not build in a clean unstable chroot:
config.log
configure:12591: checking for cfitsio
configure: 12628: /usr/include/fitsio.h
taking that
configure: 12687: /usr/lib64/libcfitsio.a

configure: 12724: /usr/lib/libcfitsio.a
configure:12738: error: cfitsio was not found on your system. Please check!
This is because cfitsio has been converted to multiarch placing it in
/usr/lib/$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)
The build should fall back to the system default paths when the library
is not found in the paths defined in m4/cpl.m4.
There are a couple of files with copyright held by the FSF in the source
but thats not mentioned in debian/copyright
You also don't need the GPL-2 license header twice, once is enough.
you don't need .dirs files for standard system paths like usr/{lib,include}

This is because cfitsio has been converted to multiarch placing it in

The build should fall back to the system default paths when the library
is not found in the paths defined in m4/cpl.m4.
OK. One question here: there are other, optional libraries that are
checked in the same way -- libwcs4 and libfftw3. The configure would not
fail if these are not there, but the resulting cpl libs are then
suboptimal.
A simple way would be to remove the checks for libcfitsio3, libwcs4 and
libfftw3 from cpl.m4 completely -- they are supposed to be there because
of the build dependencies of the package, and the filesystem standard
defines where they are. Would this be acceptable, or what would be the
best way to check the multiarch library path additionally? I could also
just add
--with-cfitsio-libs=/usr/lib/$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) \
--with-wcs-libs=/usr/lib/$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH) \
--with-fftw-libs=/usr/lib/$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)

I would just keep the first line License: GPL-2, right?

OK. Will be fixed.

Since I just started with Debian packaging, I dont know how to do
this. I would suggest that I do that in a later release, once I learned

Re: syntax-error-in-dep5-copyright syntax error in section 4 after the tag license
Guido van Steen vanst...@users.sourceforge.net writes: Thanks for your help. Your tips on 'space dots' got me on the right track. (Please don't top-post your replies.)

* Vincent Cheng vincentc1...@gmail.com, 2011-10-12, 13:19: I forgot: you depend on autotools-dev but do not use it. With dh-7 its: dh $@ --with autotools-dev Please correct me if I'm mistaken...but isn't it supposed to be --with autotools_dev (i.e. with an underscore, not a dash)? It can be either, dh does s/-/_/g before loading the module.

Re: not installing files...(with cdbs)
Le Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 02:15:02PM +0200, IOhannes m zmoelnig a écrit : i was wondering, what is the best way to *exclude* files from a package that get installed by upstream's make install target? - - removing the files right after the install target. Dear IOhannes, I tend to exclude files by removing them. This way, it is self-documenting (but a comment on why they are removed may be very useful sometimes). I do not use the --force option of rm, so that it is immediately noticed when the file to remove is not installed anymore at a later upstream update.
