 Dear Mentors,
 
 I have written a small development utility:
 https://bitbucket.org/StarFire/lrc/overview
 
 It consists of
 1) a binary, called 'lrc', which packs a list of files into one file
 2) a small library, called liblrc, which can be used in the application
 to unpack these files and access their data
 
 If you want to compile an application that uses liblrc, you also need a
 few small header files.
 
 Now, how do I package this utility for Debian? I think I have to split
 it up, but how? One package for the binary and one for the library?
 Where do I put the header files? Are there any packages that I can use
 as an example (One application, more packages)?
 
 TIA and best regards
   Andreas

 Hi,
 
 I do not see why this should be supported by Debian. Skype is proprietary
 and, allegedly, malicious spyware that we should not encourage our users to
 use.
 
 IMHO you should go support Telepathy or some other framework that allow
 programming for less malicious software.

 Hi debian mentors,
 
 skype4py was removed on unstable because unmaintained and not so much
 used.
 
 Anyway I think now that is actively maintained again would be nice to
 get it into debian again,
 http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/skype4py.html
 
 I made it available on mentors, I can package it and take care of it.
 http://mentors.debian.net/package/skype4py
 
 with skype4py you can easily write python scripts for sending messages
 around the world and do many other things that skype API allows you to
 
 
 many thanks for your time

Hi,

quidame wrote (20 Jul 2013 10:56:58 GMT) :
 First, was the target distribution change in debian/changelog
 intentional? (0.4.12 has experimental, 0.4.13 has unstable.)

 Yes it is; the target distribution was set to experimental for the
 wheezy's freeze duration... after what it was forgotten. Do you think
 I should revert to experimental ?

No, unstable should be fine.

Thanks for all the fixes. I've just reviewed and built 0.4.15 and
hoped to upload right away, but Lintian is still not happy:

Looks like some buggy variable substitution.

Hi Salvo,

* Encryption: You can directly encrypt the final file with the data
* Compression/Encryption per file: You can define compression and 
encryption for each file that you want to pack
* Unpacked data in memory: The unpacked and decrypted data can be 
accessed in memory (don't know about tar in this case)

Bug#722094: RFS: avra/1.3.0-1 [ITA] -- assembler for Atmel AVR microcontrollers

2013-09-10 Thread Vincent Bernat
 ❦ 10 septembre 2013 06:04 CEST, Milan Kupcevic mi...@physics.harvard.edu :

 Please, convert debian/copyright to DEP-5. This is not a mandatory step
 for Debian policy but this is something that I require to sponsor
 packages. 

 Done.

Usually, we ignore autoconf stuff like configure, Makefile.in. I think
there is no consensus on this. However, since there are no other
problems, I have uploaded the package as is. Feel free to remove the
copyright sections about those autogenerated files.

 Moreover, this file is currently incomplete. You should update
 the years, add copyright information for debian/* files 

 Done.

 and it seems you are not one of the copyright holders. 

 Well, while transforming the package to 3.0 quilt I rewrote all the
 content in almost all the files in debian/*, and added new files. There
 is hardly any content left of previous maintainers. Moreover, out of
 three patches I'm the author of two, and I back-ported the code from the
 upstream for the third patch.

In fact, I was willing to say you are one of the copyright holders
(about stuff outside debian directory). Dunno why a not has found its
way in the sentence. ;-)
