debian/bug-control fields
Hi, where can I find a list and description of all valid fields that can be used in debian/bug-control or debian/foobar.bug-control ? I know only three of them: Submit-As: Report-With: Package-Status: What I understand is that for 'package-status', the status of the listed packages (and their dependencies/recommendations/suggestions) are included in the body of the report; and so, there is no need to add something as 'dpkg-query -l foobar' in debian/bug-script if foobar is listed in the 'Package-Status:' field. But I've found nothing in Debian Policy or dh_bugfiles(1) or reportbug(1) manpages to know all valid fields and how they are handled.

It's not the version that is wrong. -1 was a non-native package, and so should be -2. Quoting the tag description: Native source packages are sometimes created by accident. In most cases the reason is the location of the original source tarball. For version 1.0 source packages, dpkg-source determines whether they're non-native by looking for a file named package_upversion.orig.tar.gz in the parent directory, where upversion is the upstream version from the most recent debian/changelog entry. Now understood the issue correctly. I was using pdebuild and I don't know how it started considering 38-2 as the orig tarball! Well now I used the git-buildpackage and it looks fine. Also now as intregeri said I've moved the package on separate branch called in Wheezy. Master branch tracks only 39 version.

Well it is actually wrong but I can't see other altenative but I think I will try it on -mentors and see if others have any good idea. One thing I can think is just remove existing suckless-tools repository (I any how have my local copy) then rename suckless-tools-38 to suckless-tools and on top of this import my 39 work so 38 history and 39 both can leave together. Let me see Rewriting already published branches' history is a no-go. What I would suggest is: * create a squeeze branch in the existing repository (from scratch, no shared ancestors) * import the needed and missing (older) version into the squeeze branch Done the package now resides under wheezy branch. To be frank every problem has simple solution :) I was overly complicating it thanks for heads up ;) * git checkout master git merge -s ours squeeze Well *wheezy* branch will go independent of master.

Bug#663916: New phonetisaurus package available
Hi! There has been a new phonetisaurus release (0.6). All the patches have been applied upstream, the backup file in sparsehash has been removed, FstPathFinder.* have been rewritten from scratch. I updated the Debian package files accordingly. All the phonetisaurus files have a BSD-2-clause header, but the README.txt reports BSD-3-clause. I will ask upstream about this. Bests, Giulio.

Last but not least, why do you need to recover this file? It looks like it shouldn't have been included in the upstream tarball in the first place. Just because it was in the original tarball and I want that a debian/rules clean results in the same content of the original tarball. Now I seem to recall that you told me that your workflow depends on such restoration. Sorry for the noise. No problem. Oh, and Google sparse hash implemented is already packaged in Debian. Please build-depend on libsparsehash-dev and make sure that the system-wide copy is used, not the bundled one. Packaging the UTF-8 library (currently in src/3rdparty/utf8/) might be also worth considering, in order to comply with Policy §4.13. As we are not talking about shared libraries, but about a few headers files, I do not understand the benefits of doing so. The main benefit is the same: you can fix bugs in one place, instead of doing it N places (where N is usually 1). Yes, I understand the goal, but I am worried that using external source code would make it harder to replicate possible issues (I will need the exact version of the libsparsehash-dev binary package that was used to compile the library). However this is probably true for many other C++ libraries. It is just more evident here, where the libraries are just simple header files. I see only disadvantages: 1) using system wide files will prevent me to easily know the source code used to compile the phonetisaurus debian package; (Sometimes we need to keep exact source for license reasons; that's what Built-Using field is for.) How can I set Built-Using field? Should I set it by hand? Is it possible to set it automatically? 2) fixes in sparsehash will not be available to phonetisaurus unless phonetisaurus is recompiled; That's not worse than status quo. Also: binNMUs are cheap. Maybe I am missing something in the upload process (well, I am missing almost everything to be honest). Can you point some reference that will help me understanding what will happen when new releases of libsparsehash-dev will be released (and phonetisaurus will need recompilation)? 3) I will need to maintain patches to use the system-wide copy; Created, applied and forwarded a patch for this. 4) an additional dependency is introduced; Again, convince upstream to drop the embedded copy, and these problems will go away. :) Additional dependency introduced. :-) If the patch will be accepted upstream, the patch will let upstream to compile embedded copy of the libraries and us to compile using the system-wide dependency. 5) If I will package UTF-8 I will need to invest time maintaining a new package that I do not care about and that contains just 4 headers files. I checked that there are at least 14 source packages in Debian that bundle UTF8-CPP: drizzle fife gdcm gource librime libvoikko love md5deep megaglest mkvtoolnix paraview ruby-passenger supertuxkart vtk Hopefully one of their maintainers would be interested in packaging it separately. Maybe file an RFP, CCing them all? If you think it is useful, I will do this. However I would like to understand how I am supposed to deal with this kind of libraries before doing this. With the patch above, it will be very easy to use the system-wide utfcpp library once it is packaged. Do you think that policy §4.13 apply in this case? I seems to me that it is more related to shared libraries than static ones and headers. No, §4.13 it's not only about shared library. It does apply here. Ok, using libsparsehash-dev then.
