Bug#795771: RFS: dblatex/0.3.7-1
Gianfranco Costamagna costamagnagianfra...@yahoo.it wrote: Hi Gianfranco, first nitpick: not needed to upload a -2 version. using the same -1 is fine and works until the real upload (on Debian ftp-master) is performed I'm used to be very careful (you could also say: paranoid) regarding publishing: never publish anything changed under the same release number as before, even if it's only a release candidate on mentors. But as this seems to be overdone, I will merge the two changelog sections and return to 0.3.7-1 on my next upload. Here I disagree again: dblatex-examples.tar.bz2 has been uploaded one time (in 2009) to SourceForge and hasn't changed since then, the archive is not versioned at all. Thus IMHO it's overkill to use a separate package for this small, static add-on. mmm what does it happen if they gets updated and you miss it because there is no uscan detecting them? I see that the watch file already takes care of them, unfortunately they are not versioned, so we might not catch an update there... this is usually bad, maybe ping upstream about adding an 1.0 somewhere to avoid people missing examples updates (but here we might really don't care about examples 10 years old never updated) I'd suggest asking him to add a version number to the *next* examples update (which I don't expect to happen soon). That should be enough, shouldn't it? BTW you might also use pypi to fetch your sources from http://pypi.debian.net/dblatex (there is also a watch file for the source tarball, you might want to use it and add the examples part) Interesting service (didn't know about it), but I don't understand: what is the advantage over querying SourceForge directly? The latter is the URL always given in the upstream release mails, thus I regard it as the canonical source. Some other nitpicks: I see you runtime-depends on python-apt, not sure why, but please consider adding it to the install_requires section of setup.py and let python:Depends do its job :) As setup.py is contributed by upstream, I don't want to add a patch just to replace the rules dependency. However I will ask upstream to add the install_requires section in the next upstream release, then I can drop the rules dependency. Any more loose ends? Otherwise I would merely do a merged upload under the original version numer, as explained above.

I have uploaded dblatex-0.3.7-2 to mentors: http://mentors.debian.net/package/dblatex Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command: dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dblatex/dblatex_0.3.= 7-1.dsc Regarding your findings: let's review: 1) please use a machine-readable copyright file Sorry to disagree with your first suggestion (terrible start, I know): Using a machine-readable copyright file is optional according to section 12.5.1 of the Debian Policy Manual. In contrast to this idea I prefer to keep as close to the upstream copyright file as possible, thus simply diffing the upstream with the Debian file is enough to keep the latter synchronized with the former. http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/ 2) d/compat: please bump to 9 Happy to comply, done. 3) d/control: you might want to run wrap-and-sort to clean the formatting= up, to bump debhelper to =3D9 and to remove some already satisfied in oldsta= ble version constraints. Thanks for pointing me to wrap-and-sort, it's a nice tool. Done. 4) d/rules: please prepend comments in overrides with a tab instead of = spaces (vim is really showing them in a bad way) That means sending the comments to the shell for evaluation, which is superfluous (although it does no harm). When doing so, the lines look bad in emacs, as they are marked in warning style (that is pink background with my color scheme). The reason for the warning as found in make-mode.el.gz: ;; Highlight shell comments that Make treats as commands, ;; since these can fool people. Anyway, I'm happy to comply and have changed according to your suggestion. 5) d/rules: I do not see the reason for get-orig-source target. if uscan works, what is the pourpose of it? I have moved the retrieval of the examples tarball to the watch file and eliminated the get-orig-source target and all related stuff. Indeed this simplifies the rules file remarkably. 6) d/rules: examples should belong to dh_installexamples not to dh_instal= ldocs (unless I'm missing something) You're right, done. 7) d/rules: I would add something like --buildsystem=3Dpybuild to the d= efault dh call. Done. 8) if the examples are the reason for the get-orig-source target, and if = upstream ships them in a different source tarball, please then consider a package split Here I disagree again: dblatex-examples.tar.bz2 has been uploaded one time (in 2009) to SourceForge and hasn't changed since then, the archive is not versioned at all. Thus IMHO it's overkill to use a separate package for this small, static add-on. 9) d/rules: mv debian/dblatex/usr/share/doc/dblatex/xhtml debian/dblatex/= usr/share/doc/dblatex/html it is nice to current don't break existing installations, but I would ins= tead create a symlink, rather than breaking the new installations (assuming some users might hav= e compiled the documentation on their own. man dh_link might be useful there Good idea, done. would you mind fixing the above?

I hope that you will nevertheless consider to sponsor this upload, although I would also understand if you forbear From=20sponsoring as you don't agree with my packaging decisions.

Just taken from the example in the manual page DPATCH.MAKE(7). I think the reason for this indirect approach is as follows: build-stamp: patch-stamp causes patch-stamp to be executed as first action before the build-stamp commands get executed. Symmetrical to this the construct clean: clean1 unpatch clean1: causes unpatch to be executed as last action after all clean1 commands. Whereas clean: unpatch means unpatch being executed before the clean commands. For dblatex it seems to be a matter of taste, as the stack approach is not needed. Thus adapted. I think it is cleaner not to have things like if [ -f debian/lintian.overrides ] in debian/rules. You know whether there is lintian override when you create package. My argumentation is as follows: For some releases I need overrides, for others not. I prefer to change only one location (overrides file itself) than additionally the rules file. But this seems to be arguable. Thus changed. It's better to fix reason why you need override than adding one on so,e releases. In general you are right, however I added the override for a false positive from lintian [1]. (Although there Russ Allberry seems to advise not to override lintian bugs.)

RFS: dblatex: long term / current release 0.2.8-3
Dear mentors, as my default sponsor recently has not found the time for sponsoring, and as he agrees I should better search another sponsor - well, here I am :-) Currently I'm the maintainer of dblatex [1] and co-maintainer of apt-show-versions [2]. Thus my involvement is limited, but I set a high value on doing my job properly and long-ranging - thus I only take over a package if I'm really and durable interested. a-s-v is sponsored by the package owner (as a native package it's his child), thus sponsoring is needed for dblatex. Current release awaiting upload is 0.2.8-3 on mentors.debian.net [3]. At the moment I have no plans to become a DD, being confident with my current level of involvement. This might change sometime, but I won't count on it. On the other hand, I'm definitely interested in becoming a DM - it looks convenient for all parties and expresses trust in my packaging. But that is second-rank, first priority is to get dblatex releases published in a timely manner, which is my reponsibility to its users. To finalize my advertisement: the dblatex package is not very complicated (architecture all), with a frequency of at most one release per month. However, IMHO it's a useful and important package, being the sole DocBook-PDF tool in Debian main. And although I'm making packaging mistakes, usually I learn and avoid repeating them. My GPG key is signed by one DD, thus I'm basically connected to the web of trust. I hope to have given a picture clear enough to base a sponsoring decision upon. Thus, if someone is interested, I really would be glad.

I don't know if there's anything on mentors.d.o that stops you from doing this, but I'd personally say you don't need to bump versions before the package actually gets into the archive, so you could just stick with '-1' for a Debian version, so merging the changelog entries should do the trick. snip/ To explain my version bump: I rememer a thread on this mailing list starting with [1] that discussed the issue of reusing the same version number for different uploads to mentors.debian.net.

Dear mentors, what shall I say for advertisement? I think dblatex is not an unimportant package, AFAIK it's the only free, working DocBook-PDF tool in Debian. Moreover, the current Debian version (0.2.6-1) is quite outdated as sadly 0.2.7-1 did not get sponsored. Thus I would really appreciate if someone could sponsor the new version.

Leo \costela\ Antunes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Leo, thank you very much for your feedback. It seems that another pair of eyes is likely to detect issues that have gone unnoticed for a long time... snip/ I am fairly inexperienced with docbook and python policy, but here are a few remarks that I hope make sense: - the package adds a Makefile on '/usr/share/dblatex/tests/mathml/' You're right. The whole subtree tests/ is superfluous for running dblatex. No need to install it. - I'm not sure the lintian override for the changelog line length is necessary; you could just mention bug # on the sourceforge tracker. Using the override could mask a future line length issue, and even though this is certainly something minor, I personally don't think it's worth it. I don't find a search possibility for SourceForge bugs that is independent of a project. Maybe just being blind... Anyway, the SF dblatex project tracker can be used, thus you are right: the link can be omitted. (By the way, I had the intention to remove the override with the next release, as the check only applies to the most recent release.) - the wrapper in /usr/bin seems strange, isn't there a better way to implement this? The way I see it, it makes the script in /usr/share/dblatex a bit redundant. The other way around, /usr/share/dblatex/scripts/dblatex is superfluous. My fault, the native installation procedure uses this file as a template for creating /usr/local/bin/dblatex, but naturally does not install the template itself. (This has gone unnoticed due to a bug in my check script for comparing native with debian install contents :-( ) - perhaps you could remove the sourceforge site link from the description? It's linked from the homepage. Ok. Overall, I'd say doing a quick check with debc, aside from lintian is always a good idea, but the package seems good. After you take a look at these issues (or just justify them) I can sponsor you, if no one with more expertise in this sort of package pops up until - let's say - monday.

The first pair could just be symlinked from the established place, and
then adding support to parse an additional per-user directory is just a
goody.

Thanks for your solution, it works as expected. I have adapted the
package accordingly (without the goody for the moment), thus now
configuration file handling should be Debian policy compliant.
I have uploaded the fixed package, after checking with lintian, linda
and pbuilder: http://mentors.debian.net/
Thus, at the risk of repeating myself: anyone interested in sponsoring
this package?

RFS: dblatex - Produces DVI, PostScript, PDF documents from DocBook sources
Hello,
I'm searching for a sponsor for the following package:
* Package name: dblatex
Version : 0.1.8
Upstream Author : Benoit Guillon [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://dblatex.sourceforge.net/
* License : GPL
Description : Produces DVI, PostScript, PDF documents from DocBook sources
DocBook to LaTeX Publishing that transforms your SGML/XML DocBook documents to
DVI, PostScript or PDF by translating them in pure LaTeX as a first process.
MathML 2.0 markups are supported, too. It originally started as a clone of
DB2LaTeX, but has been enhanced extensively since then and is actively
maintained by the upstream author.
The source package is found at http://mentors.debian.net/ It is Lintian
and Linda clean and builds with pbuilder. The ITP is numbered #350397.
Benoit Guillon, the package's upstream maintainer, is informed and
agrees on getting dblatex packaged into Debian.
For discussions whether or not dblatex should be included into Debian,
you might be interested in the mail threads:
- http://lists.debian.org/debian-sgml/2005/10/msg00014.html
-
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-xml-sgml-pkgs/2006-January/001680.html
One package problem is remaining, where the upstream author and me
would appreciate advice from a sponsor:
At the moment there exist two configuration directories, where the user
can place additional configuration files/subdirectories - called
specifications and styles - besides the predefined ones:
- /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/dblatex/latex/specs/
- /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/dblatex/latex/contrib/
These additional files/subdirectories must be left alone at any package
upgrade/removal, and their location looks problematic inside a Debian
system. What about system wide and user's configuration directories
like:
- /etc/dblatex/{specs|contrib}/
- ~/.dblatex/{specs|contrib}/
dblatex would have to scan these directories in addition to the original
ones where its own specifications/styles stay located.
The upstream author has indicated that he might adapt his sources after
an agreement upon a sound solution. (Benoit, please correct me if I
have misinterpreted you.) This just needs to be discussed with an
Debian expert (or in this public forum).
Thank you for your attention,
Andreas
