RFS: flvmeta (updated package)

2011-11-22 Thread Neutron Soutmun
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.1~r235-1
of my package flvmeta.

This is the experimental package from the recent beta
released source from upstream.

It builds those binary packages:

flvmeta- Metadata injector for FLV video files

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/flvmeta

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this
command:

  dget -x 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/flvmeta/flvmeta_1.1~r235-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards,

Neutron Soutmun

Hello Jakub,

Thanks for your response!

Looks like packaging this software requires skills that I don't have.
I can't reprosuce your crash on my unstable/amd64. Have no idea where
to go with that, but don't want to give up early.

Speaking of embeded libraries/headers, could I ask you to provide me
with some reference? What is common/best practices for such cases? Do
you know of any packages already in Debian having similar situation?

Regards,
Mikhail

 inadyn - Simple and small DynDNS client written in the C language

I had a quick look at your package; here are a few comments:

  - Lintian reports a few warnings:

  - I don't think the short description should mention the language it's
written in; something about supporting multiple accounts would be
much more relevant here;

  - I don't get why the user/group created by the postinst script are
prefixed with 'debian-'; none of the packages I have on my system do
that;

  - The purge target in the postrm script should remove the user/group
created during installation;

  - dpkg-shlibdeps gives this warning:
  dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libresolv.so.2 could be avoided if 
debian/inadyn/usr/bin/inadyn were not uselessly linked against it (they use 
none of its symbols).

  - The host listed in the watch file seems to be down; is it temporary
or did the package move to a new home?

  - In debian/copyright, the license of src/base64utils.c is not free.
It allows that file to be used and distributed, but not modified. Is
it possible to replace it with a free equivalent?

Cheers,

Re: RFS: bibtexconv

2011-11-22 Thread Thomas Dreibholz
Dear Benoît,

thank you for your review of the bibtexconv package.

I have updated the package according to the comments below. The new version 
0.8.3 is now on the mentors server at 
http://mentors.debian.net/package/bibtexconv .


 I had a look at your package; here are a few comments:
 
   - You should install the example files in
 /usr/share/doc/bibtexconv/examples instead of /usr/share/bibtexconv;

Fixed.


   - It would be great if your debian/copyright file followed DEP-5
 (http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep5/);

Fixed.


   - Speaking of copyright, the upstream COPYING file refers to a
 COPYING.GPL file, but it isn't included in the package, which means
 there is no copy of the GPL provided with the package;

The file was missing in Makefile.am. It is now included in the upstream package.


   - I'm not sure why the man pages are in section 8. Seems to me like
 section 1 would be correct (see man man-pages for details). Also,

Yes, fixed.


 both man pages have an ARGUMENTS and an EXAMPLES sections; according
 to man-pages(7), they should be named OPTIONS and EXAMPLE,
 respectively. Oh and the last option in bibtexconv.8 is missing a
 leading dash (-non-interactive).

Changed.

I have named the examples section in bibtexconv.1 EXAMPLES (because there are 
multiple examples included). ARGUMENTS have been changed to OPTIONS.


   - debian/changelog has only one entry, but it starts with 0.8.0-2; why
 not 0.8.0-1?

I had uploaded another version to mentors.debian.net, since I made a change in 
debian/changelog without changing the upstream package.


Best regards

Thomas Dreibholz

Thanks Jakub for the heads'up (given that the postinst is in unstable, you 
might want to reportbug that…)

 This package in every case need hands on from the user. The only purpose
 of postinst is:
 User get back a correct error message from the package binary instead
 of a perl compilation error.
 
 Do you have a have suggestion?

Either:
- make sure no error happens if no file exists under /etc/jabber-querybot/,
- make sure that the error message is meaningful,
- make sure the process is well-documented,
- install that file (instead of symlinking) under /etc/jabber-querybot

By policy you must use wrapper tools provided by the Apache server. That
means, you are supposed to call a2enmod in your postinst maintainer script.

Do not forget to disable your module on purge with a2dismod.

Questions on maintaining xeji

2011-11-22 Thread Daniel Martí
Hello, my name is Daniel and I've recently filed an ITA against the RFA bug for 
xeji (wnpp list). I've gone though most part of the new maintainer's guide, as 
well as the packaging basics. I do know how to make a package from scratch and 
build it, but I am having more trouble with creating a new revision for xeji 
(which would close the ITA bug).

Would any of you be willing to be my mentor and guide me through this? I am not 
looking for a teacher, but just for some specific assistance and sponsorship. 
Any help would be very appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance for your time.

Hello Daniel,

Thanks for your interest in this package. It looks simple enough to
be a perfect first package !

The basic thing for preparing a package would be to add a new
changelog entry, and of course fix a few things for your first
upload. For example, you can make the package lintian clean (including
removing some unnecessary overrides).

You can do it by hand or using the dch tool (from the devscripts
package). But the best would be to use a VCS helper such as

 Hello, my name is Daniel and I've recently filed an ITA against the
 RFA bug for xeji (wnpp list). I've gone though most part of the new
 maintainer's guide, as well as the packaging basics. I do know how
 to make a package from scratch and build it, but I am having more
 trouble with creating a new revision for xeji (which would close the
 ITA bug).
 
 Would any of you be willing to be my mentor and guide me through
 this? I am not looking for a teacher, but just for some specific
 assistance and sponsorship. Any help would be very appreciated.

Hello Daniel,

Thanks for your interest in this package. It looks simple enough to
be a perfect first package !

The basic thing for preparing a package would be to add a new
changelog entry, and of course fix a few things for your first
upload. For example, you can make the package lintian clean (including
removing some unnecessary overrides).

I know how I must update the changelog and the maintainer in the description 
(control?). Any other files I should change? Of course, I should sign it with 
my own key.

You can do it by hand or using the dch tool (from the devscripts
package). But the best would be to use a VCS helper such as
git-buildpackage. The intermediate steps are not visible in the
resulting .dsc and .debs, but it helps you remember where you were and
allows easier collaboration (just like with source code).

If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask in this thread,
so that either me or another one can reply to them.

In fact, I do :-) What should I send to the sponsor, the .deb file or some 
other file?

Have a nice day !

Thank you so much for your interest!

That's the bare minimum if you want to adopt the package. For the
rest, you're on your own :)
Once you've built the package, run lintian -I on the resulting .changes
file. I count 5 warnings and 3 overrides. Fix everything you can !
(the extended information with -i will give some hints).

 If you have any questions about it, feel free to ask in this thread,

 Please, do it.  Or let me integrate your changes.

I didn't do anything back then. As said, I had a look on the package and
decided to postpone any work until upstream fixes the bug. That was back
in July I think.

I didn't hear since them from them, hence I conclude they are not
interested to fix that right now. Unfortunately that leaves the problem
mostly to you.

Re: Questions on maintaining xeji

2011-11-22 Thread Paul Wise
Don't forget to look at the PTS page for your package and fix any
issues listed there:

http://packages.qa.debian.org/x/xeji.html

The version of debian-policy it complies with needs to be ugpraded.

There are a number of lintian complaints.

There is one bug in Ubuntu that may or may not apply to the Debian
bug. To close it, put LP: 34414 in your changelog and it will be
closed once the package reaches Ubuntu.

The package is already uploaded, but here is a review anyway:

http://packages.qa.debian.org/f/flvmeta.html

You might want to consider using wrap-and-sort.

I think your watch file should use can=1 instead of can=3.

In the watch file there needs to be a uversionmangle/dversionmangle
set so that versions can be properly compared.

You can probably drop the roff documentation from the manual page,
lines starting with this: .\

Please forward the manual page upstream if you have not already.

In your patches it is customary to set the Forwarded header to the URL
where the patch can be found upstream or the email address it was
forwarded to.

There is one GCC warning:

json.c: In function 'json_unescape':
json.c:1337:7: warning: format '%llX' expects argument of type 'long
long unsigned int', but argument 3 has type 'long unsigned int'
[-Wformat]

Considered to not change by now as upstream accepts the manpage patch already.

RFS: flvmeta (updated package)

2011-11-22 Thread Neutron Soutmun
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 1.1~r235-2
of my package flvmeta.

This is the experimental second updated package from the
recent beta released source from upstream.

It builds those binary packages:

flvmeta- Metadata injector for FLV video files

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/flvmeta

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this
command:

  dget -x 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/f/flvmeta/flvmeta_1.1~r235-2.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards,

Neutron Soutmun
