Re: Question about debian experimental.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA256 (This thread is better suited for debian-mentors, setting mail-followup-to accordingly) Le 08/10/2012 18:30, Andrej N. Gritsenko a écrit : Hello! I have a question. Since maintainers of LXDE are extremely busy last few months I would like to find a way to upload latest upstream version of libfm and pcmanfm into experimental repository. Hi, Please don't feel sorry for trying to help. But also understand that the maintainers of a specific package usually work on there spare time and are concentrating on the release. I'm not sure if anyone but the LXDE maintainers would upload these packages for you, even in experimental. There are two things you can do: 1- make your packages readily available on the internet, but not in the official archive; 2- help the official maintainer integrate your changes. 1- make the packages publicly available: I would try building the binaries on at least the two most popular architectures, i386 and amd64. Choose a version number such as x.y.z-0~andrej to make it sorts before any future official version, including NMUs and backports. You would then need to upload the source and binary packages to some website. github can serve you here. Finally, just mention it in the bug reports, so users can find your updated packages. 2- Two things to do to help your work reach the official archive: a- Send your changes to the bugreport(s) as a patch and tag the bug(s) +patch (this is almost a must do) b- Prepare another source package (with version such as x.y.z-1~exp1, sorting after your personal package), make it available on the web (e.g. on http://mentors.debian.net/) and send an RFS _to_the_official_maintainers_. You can also, in addition, make this RFS a bug against the sponsorship-requests pseudo package but please explain the situation carefully there. Kind regards, Thibaut. Rest of original post: I feel sorry that I constantly bug the maintainers with the same question and I think they already hate me that I ask them despite they are still have no time for that. So I would like do not bore them anymore. I have all the required debian/* files which are files from 0.1.17 / 0.9.10 versions with some corrections needed to conform Debian Policy rules where they were not and adapted to all what was changed in upstream. Packages made with those files are proven to be created and installed smoothly on Wheezy. Those debian/* files are public available on https://github.com/LStranger/. Why I would like to upload them into experimental? That is simple - I would like to let people in Debian BTS who are struggling from bugs that prevent them from usage of old versions of pcmanfm to get current version which is free of all those bugs. So question is - may it be possible to upload them into experimental or I have still to bother maintainers? I feel sorry to do that again. Thank you very much.

It consists of a core which defines common plugin interfaces and a lot of plugins for different purposes. User can install any combination of them to achieve the necessary functionality. The main advantage of such approach is that modules could interact more closely than standalone programs in usual Desktop Environments. Thus, plugins can also rely on functionality provided by each other. Plugins could also have their own plugins: for example, support for different protocols or chat window styles in an IM client. Also developers don't reinvent the wheel for each protocol. They use existing solutions (rasterbar libtorrent for BitTorrent or QXmpp for XMPP protocol for example) if possible. And they contribute back their patches to the upstream in these cases. Many changes were done in the project during these months. For example, fork of QXmpp library was finally merged into upstream and current package qxmpp from unstable satisfies build dependencies of leechcraft.

Renaming files, patching, renaming files, unpatching, and 3.0 (quilt)
Dear Mentors, I'm surprised this topic hasn't been covered, as I thought it would be important, at least in some cases. For instance, I'm packaging Compiz 0.8.8, for MATE desktop. This, at least initially, requires a lot of code substitutions, and quite a few file/dir renaming. (ex.: gnome - mate, gconf - mateconf, metacity - marco, etc.) I use a home-brewed migration script to generate actions for that. Now, doing `quilt add files_to_rename new_filenames; mv files_to_rename new_filenames; quilt refresh`, alone, would make a huge, unnecessary patch. I might as well modify the upstream tarball and use that as the orig, which, of course, is not proper. But, if I could rename the files just after patching, and rename back just before unpatching, then I can keep a *much* smaller sized debian/patches/*, and also generally more portable. Unfortunately, use of override_dh_quilt_(un)patch isn't feasible as it would require doing dh $@ --with quilt, which is against '3.0 (quilt)' source package format policy. Trying to do both at the same time; --with quilt and 3.0 (quilt) format, results in dpkg-source --after-build breaking the build process, because the override_dh_quilt_unpatch is never invoked at that stage. Going back to source format 1.0 isn't a desirable option. So, I was doing something like: -- dh $@ --with autoreconf override_dh_auto_configure: [ -f new.c ] || mv orig.c new.c ... dh_auto_configure -- $(confflags) override_dh_clean: [ -f orig.c ] || mv new.c orig.c .. dh_clean -- But, unfortunately, that also breaks when dpkg-source --after-build is invoked, because it skips the rules file, and of so override_dh_clean has no effect to it. Same sad story was covered on this list *months* ago, with no proper solution: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2012/05/msg00131.html It basically ends with: It's a bug, just use debuild -tc. This basically just tells dpkg-buildpackage to run `fakeroot debian/rules clean`, before it calls `dpkg-source --after-build`. But has this even been reported as a bug, yet? Shouldn't it be? Meanwhile, I thought I could find a straightforward workaround, in debian/rules itself, as I noticed dh_gencontrol happens right before dpkg-source is invoked, and since I already had an override_dh_gencontrol, I tried to separate my reverse-renaming into a seperate sequence, to be called from both override_dh_clean and the former. Like so: -- pre_unpatch: [ -f orig.c ] || mv new.c orig.c ... override_dh_clean: pre_unpatch dh_clean override_dh_gencontrol: pre_unpatch dh_gencontrol -- $(gencontrol_V_opts) -- But that didn't make the slightest difference.

Re: Renaming files, patching, renaming files, unpatching, and 3.0 (quilt)
Sorry, the subject should've --obviously-- been Patching, renaming, ..., renaming, unpatching On Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 4:27 AM, Jasmine Hassan jasmine.a...@gmail.com wrote: Dear Mentors, I'm surprised this topic hasn't been covered, as I thought it would be important, at least in some cases. For instance, I'm packaging Compiz 0.8.8, for MATE desktop. This, at least initially, requires a lot of code substitutions, and quite a few file/dir renaming. (ex.: gnome - mate, gconf - mateconf, metacity - marco, etc.) I use a home-brewed migration script to generate actions for that. Now, doing `quilt add files_to_rename new_filenames; mv files_to_rename new_filenames; quilt refresh`, alone, would make a huge, unnecessary patch. I might as well modify the upstream tarball and use that as the orig, which, of course, is not proper. But, if I could rename the files just after patching, and rename back just before unpatching, then I can keep a *much* smaller sized debian/patches/*, and also generally more portable. Unfortunately, use of override_dh_quilt_(un)patch isn't feasible as it would require doing dh $@ --with quilt, which is against '3.0 (quilt)' source package format policy. Trying to do both at the same time; --with quilt and 3.0 (quilt) format, results in dpkg-source --after-build breaking the build process, because the override_dh_quilt_unpatch is never invoked at that stage. Going back to source format 1.0 isn't a desirable option. So, I was doing something like: -- dh $@ --with autoreconf override_dh_auto_configure: [ -f new.c ] || mv orig.c new.c ... dh_auto_configure -- $(confflags) override_dh_clean: [ -f orig.c ] || mv new.c orig.c .. dh_clean -- But, unfortunately, that also breaks when dpkg-source --after-build is invoked, because it skips the rules file, and of so override_dh_clean has no effect to it. Same sad story was covered on this list *months* ago, with no proper solution: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2012/05/msg00131.html It basically ends with: It's a bug, just use debuild -tc. This basically just tells dpkg-buildpackage to run `fakeroot debian/rules clean`, before it calls `dpkg-source --after-build`. But has this even been reported as a bug, yet? Shouldn't it be? Meanwhile, I thought I could find a straightforward workaround, in debian/rules itself, as I noticed dh_gencontrol happens right before dpkg-source is invoked, and since I already had an override_dh_gencontrol, I tried to separate my reverse-renaming into a seperate sequence, to be called from both override_dh_clean and the former. Like so: -- pre_unpatch: [ -f orig.c ] || mv new.c orig.c ... override_dh_clean: pre_unpatch dh_clean override_dh_gencontrol: pre_unpatch dh_gencontrol -- $(gencontrol_V_opts) -- But that didn't make the slightest difference. Nor did calling dh_clean (which is overridden to reverse-rename files) from override_dh_gencontrol. Nor with override_dh_builddeb. Nothing of all the aforementioned would allow the reverse-renaming in the debuild process before dpkg-source was invoked. Finally, I found something that works: override_dh_builddeb: pre_unpatch dh_builddeb Shouldn't this be mentioned anywhere? At least in 3.0 (quilt) docs?

Re: (un)patching patched files
Hi, Has this been reported as a bug yet? The only thing I found to work is: pre_unpatch: [ -f orig.c ] || mv new.c orig.c ... override_dh_clean: pre_unpatch dh_clean # This forces the rename right before dpkg-source --after-build override_dh_builddeb: pre_unpatch dh_builddeb Best, Jasmine -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#683184: RFS: suckless-tools/39-1 [ITA]
On Wed, Oct 10, 2012 at 1:53 AM, Jakub Wilk jw...@debian.org wrote:
Shouldn't the copyright file also mention download location for sprop (i.e.
hg.suckless.org) too?
Does source: field allow multiple URL's? According to Debian
copyright-format [0]
this field can be free form text which means I can put with a note
that sprop was
got from the different URL like below
Source: http://dl.suckless.org/tools except sprop which was downloaded
from hg tip at http://hg.suckless.org
I'd prefer if create_get_orig source downloaded a specific revision of prop
(currently ecfe2752b310) rather than tip. That would make the script more
deterministic.
Well yes I will modify it and also I will try to persuade conor lane
smith to put it in dl.suckless.org ;-)
that way it will be more clean for both above source: field and get-orig-source
Would you mind preparing also a package for Wheezy, with *minimal* fixes for
#685611 (and perhaps other bugs that would fit the freeze criteria[0])?
Yes I can do that I was just not sure whether to do it or not :-).
Only problem will be I can track this wheezy source
in my current git reposiotory but I guess the old repository still
exist and only just renamed. I will prepare this and
ping back to you tonight!
Just a note is it okay to change Vcs-* field in this version even
though its not mentioned in bug report?
