Re: RFS: iulib (5th attempt)
Hi Charles,
2009/7/19 Charles Plessy ple...@debian.org:
our tools do not invoke the build target twice in a row, but real people
sometimes have a good reason to do. For instance, I tried to build iulib it
did
not work because I was missing dependancies, and when I installed them and
called the build target again, it triggered the bug discussed above. A good
makefile should be resilient to this.
How did you do this? Simply running
$ ./debian/rules build
a second time, produces:
dh --with quilt build
and dh knows it isn't necessary and doesn't build.
Talking about dependancies, since there are only three versions of the libtool
package in circulation, you can probably depend on versions higher than Lenny.
Alternatively, you can support both: it looks easy. It would be especially
useful if you think that there are chances your package would be backported.
If the scons migration for the 0.4 version implies to drop libtool, you do not
need to put too much energy into this…
The latter. I want to get a clean package into the NEW queue, and
while it sits there, I'll work on v0.4.
A much more problematic issue is the binary dependancies of libiulib0. You
have
devised a long list by hand, but it is not accurate for Sid, which is the
target of your package. There is at least one error: libavcodec51 does not
exist there. Do you have evidence that ${shlibs:Depends} is not enough?
No. I've removed everything but ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
Probably. Maybe you can submit a whishlist bug, or if you have time, try to
write such a check.
Done[1,2].
PS: do you know how to write a symbols control file? (me not).
dpkg-gensymbols -O -plibiulib0
gives me output... But how to know I am using it correctly...
I've uploaded the updated package to mentors.
Regards
Jeff

Re: RFS: iulib (5th attempt)
2009/7/18 Charles Plessy ple...@debian.org:
I found some issues in the latest version of your package:
- The build target can not been invoked twice in a row because of the mv
commands (you know what to do, you did it right for the clean target).
dh7 won't invoke the build target more than once, so I think this is OK.
- The build dependancies are not tight enough: in earlier versions of
libtool,
ltmain.sh is not in /usr/share/libtool/config/ but in /usr/share/libtool.
I assume that libtool should be (=2), but I can't find any
documentation for this.
- The dependancy of libiulib-dev should be versioned on libiuli0. The
symbolic
link /usr/lib/libiulib.so - libiulib.so.0.0.0 will break otherwise.
Isn't this could be something that lintian should check for, along
with that .la files should be in -dev?
I've added (= ${binary:Version}) to the dependency.
I've uploaded the updated package to mentors.
Regards
Jeff

Re: RFS: iulib (5th attempt)
2009/7/14 Charles Plessy ple...@debian.org: I had a look at your package and wonder if the .la file should not be in libiulib-dev instead of libiulib0. Can you comment on this? According to the libpkg-guide[1] you are absolutely right. I've fixed this. You patched the iulib to ‘libtoolize’ it in order to enable dynamic linking to it. Have you discussed this with the upstream authors? Have you also discussed or forwarded the two other patches that you wrote? Once it is done, you can document this in a machine-readable way as a patch header following the draft DEP-3 format. http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3 Both patches were from upstream. I have added description and origin tags to the patches. Upstream sees to have switched the extension name of their tar archives from .tar.gz to .tgz, breaking your watch file. The current version seems to be 0.4. Maybe you can check if your patches are still necessary with this version before contacting Upstream. Thanks for spotting the change in filename. I've fixed the watchfile to catch both. Unfortunately, v0.4 doesn't seem to play well with autotools, and the advice from upstream was to rewrite the packaging to use scons. v0.4 was released after I put my first RFS for iulib on mentors, and I'd like to see it uploaded before throwing the packaging away to start on v0.4. This said, you would probably have increased your chances by giving more context, in particular by explaining that you would like to package this library because it is needed to update ocropus, a package for optical character recognition that you maintain since since March, and that started to use this library. This is much more motivating than ‘The upload would fix these bugs: 508143’. Thanks for the advice, I'll do so in future RFS mails. I've uploaded the updated package to mentors.

Re: RFS: iulib (3rd attempt)
2009/6/27 Nick Leverton n...@leverton.org: First, you call dh_quilt_unpatch from your clean target, however this command is provided by quilt which is not part of build-essential. Pbuilder only auto-installs the dependencies after cleaning the package - but it will not do this as the clean fails. You might fix this by doing dh_quilt_unpatch || true in your clean. It builds fine in my pbuilder without this. Second, you need a build-dep for libtool which is required by the build. Grrr. Yes, thanks. In your control file, libiulib-dev Depends: on libiulib, however your packaging builds the library in libiulib0 so the -dev package will not install. I find it worth actually installing my final packages and using them to catch errors of this sort before upload. Of course, I did install (and use) it, but made modifications, and didn't install it again. Thanks for pointing that out. Recent comments here suggest that a is un-needed at the start of the short description :) OK. Fixed. Is it worth mentioning in the short description that the library is for C++ ? Many other libraries specify the language in the short description OK. Added. As well, there is a pedantic Lintian warning: P: iulib source: source-contains-svn-control-dir . Seems like each of your dirs has the .svn directory still. It's only a pedantic warning and not something I would think worth re-creating the tarball for, but might be worth asking upstream to clean their release. Thanks. I had noticed that.

Re: RFS: ocropus (3nd try)
Hi Sandro,
2008/12/7 Sandro Tosi [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
packages: the inter-dependencies. What you usually want it ocropus to
depends on ocropus-data for the same version of the source package,
hence you need this versioned depends ocropus-data (=
${source:Version}). This will ensure that on upgrades, both package
are updated (if not -data will be left to the previous version, since
already installed).
I think it has to be
ocropus-data (= ${source:Version})
We really don't want to be mixing versions here.
understand why, and the reason is gmail to wrap lines. This one works:
$ cat debian/watch
Thanks. I hadn't got your example working, and was previously told by
a DD in a private mail that it wasn't possible.
and so we discover that there is a new upstream release: what you
wanna do with it? go for ocropus 0.2, wait for it to be accepted and
the upgrade? or start preparing the new version for upload?
No. I originally packaged 0.2 and uploaded it to mentors before 0.3.1
was available. Let's get it accepted and I'll work on the new version
in the mean time.
don't call dh_clean in config.status: if you want to remove that file
there, it's fine to use 'rm', while in clean target it's better use
dh_clean because it removes even other files the the one listed as
options.
Fair point. Thanks.
you either use debian/docs or pass a parameter to dh_installdocs (in
this case both contains README file, so it's redundant: choose one
way).
Done.
I have uploaded the updated package to mentors.
Thanks for your help

That one passed me by. Thanks for pointing it out. Done.

- given that debian/patches/distclean added some files to be deleted

clean: clean-patched unpatch
clean-patched: patch-stamp

target
OK. I think I've done what you want.
- you can merge the rm -f lines into dh_clean call (they do the same thing)
Done.
- do you need dh_installexamples and dh_install in binary-arch target ?
Moved to the install target.
- please indent the upstream authors section in debian/copyright by
4 spaces, and expand (or remove) ... and several others.
Done.
- License section is indeed the copyright one
Sorry - what is your point here?
- please add the correct license section, referring to apache-2.0,
adding the apache license boilerplate (as visible in
./ocrocmd/version.h)
Done.
- since you claim that your packaging is gplv3, and so are the patches
you wrote, are you sure that those patches can be applied to
apache-2.0 source code? please check. That's the reason we usually
suggest to license the packaging under the same license as upstream
code.
Done.
- you completely missed to add information about External Software
in debian/copyright
What do you mean by this?
- please check *every* source file: ./ocrocmd/version.h has a
different copyright year, and many others (2006-2008 seems to be the
right years); ./colib/nbest.h (and with it, many other) has different
copyright holder, and you have to list them in the debian/copyright
file; ext/lua/lua.h (and all the related files) has different
copyright holder and license: please add them too and check the
license is compatible with apache-2.0.
I can continue with many other files: please check the whole
upstream tarball, *every* files, (I exec, from the root level, find .
-type f -exec less {} \;) and report all the copyright and license
information differing from the main ones and whether they are
compatible each other.
licensecheck -r --copyright * only finds Apache-2 or unknown.
what about creating a ocropus-common package to contain all those
architecture independent files?
Done.
I've uploaded the package again.
Regards
Jeff

Re: new maintainer questions
2008/7/22 Andreas Schildbach [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 1) Is is actually needed to do the packaging work on a Debian system, or would a derivative like Ubuntu also do? I would always test my package on a real Debian before putting it up for sponsoring or uploading, but having to do actual development on Debian would mean a parallel installation of a Debian Desktop. Those of you packaging for both Debian and Ubuntu, do you switch systems all the time? I use Ubuntu (Hardy ATM), but the important thing to do before uploading to -mentors or ftpmaster is to build the package in a sid chroot. Having made it into sid, packages get synced into Ubuntu automatically provided that there are no Ubuntu changes to be merged. Intrepid has just gone into Debian sync freeze, so if you want your package in Intrepid, you will have to file a LP bug and give a reason.

How is it possible? The doc/reference/html is deleted just before doing
mkdir. It doesn't happen here to me.
I could put mkdir -p but it's very strange though.
I assume that
rm -rf doc/reference/{html,latex,rtf,xml}
is a bashism, as replacing it with
rm -rf doc/reference/html
rm -rf doc/reference/latex
rm -rf doc/reference/rtf
rm -rf doc/reference/xml
sorts at least that out.
You should build the package in a pbuilder. There is quite a good
explanation[1]. Having set things up, I build the package with
sudo DIST=sid pdebuild
which with the above change now FTBFS with:
/tmp/buildd/syx-0.1.7/missing: line 54: makeinfo: command not found
WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if
you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file
indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious
call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX,
DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or
the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site.
make[2]: *** [manual/syx.html] Error 1
which probably means that you should add Texinfo to the build-depends.
I updated the -1 package instead of uploading -2 or -3. A developer suggested
me that.
Should I clean the changelog or should I create new versions?
The first version uploaded to Debian should be -1. The changelog
should contain packaging changes to the previous version, plus any
bugs closed, so the only line necessary should be
* Initial release (Closes: #457782)

* Package name: syx
Version : 0.1.7-1
Upstream Author : Luca Bruno [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* URL : http://syx.googlecode.com
* License : MIT license
Section : interpreters
IANADD, and am reviewing the package as part of the NM process. My AM
may upload the package for you if he is happy with it.
Note that these comments are not necessarily complete - reviewing is
an iterative process and I will continue to make comments once you've
changed those which are mentioned below.
- Important: syx FTBFS in my up-to-date sid chroot:
mv doc/reference/html/extras doc/reference
rm -rf doc/reference/{html,latex,rtf,xml}
mkdir doc/reference/html
mkdir: cannot create directory `doc/reference/html': File exists
make: *** [clean] Error 1
- Minor: why these entries in the changelog when this is the initial release?:
* Lintian #DEBHELPER# warning has been fixed
* libsyx0 now suggests syx-doc and syx-gtk. Was recommending syx-gtk
- Your package lacks a debian/watch file, although this is not mandatory its
highly recommended, because it allows automatic tracking of new upstream
versions. Please see [1] and the uscan(1) manpage (part of the devscripts
package) for details.
Thats it for now. Further comments will follow once you have worked on
these points.

--as-needed
2008/4/29 Cyril Brulebois [EMAIL PROTECTED]: You could try and use LDFLAGS to pass -Wl,--as-needed (linker flags). But since it could break silently some parts of your build, it shouldn't be used without -Wl,-z,defs which will help spot possible missing -l$foo options in intermediate objects (if any). You can pass LDFLAGS to the ./configure script. I uploaded tesseract-ocr 2.03-1 with --as-needed, but have had this bug reported: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=484052 i.e. the test case in the bug report segfaults if tesseract is compiled with gcc 4.2 with or with --as-needed. If compiled with gcc 4.3, the test case segfault if --as-needed is used, but not otherwise. Is this a gcc bug? If I make tesseract depend on gcc 4.3 (is this a good idea?) and take out --as-needed, what do I do about warnings like: dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/tesseract-ocr/usr/bin/tesseract shouldn't be linked with libz.so.1 (it uses none of its symbols). ? Other than this test case, tesseract works fine. Regards Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: --as-needed
2008/6/8 Cyril Brulebois [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
It might be interesting to use a debug build, and share the backtraces,
so that one can check whether that's the same bug, when the segfault
happens.
Below is the backtrace from tesseract built with gcc-4.2 and
--as-needed. Repeating it without --as-needed seems to produce an
identical backtrace (apart from the addresses, of course). I also
compiled in a sid pbuilder expecting to therefore get gcc 4.3, but
that defaulted to 4.2.4-1. Why didn't I get 4.3? How do I force 4.3 in
the sid pbuilder?

E: tesseract-ocr: missing-dependency-on-libc needed by

I assume that the gencontrol warning is connected to the missing
dependency. I have, though, got ${shlibs:Depends} in Depends, and I
even tried manually adding libc too, all without luck. I have added
dh_makeshlibs and dh_shlibdeps to rules.
Any clues?
I have uploaded what I have done thus far to mentors:
Your upload of the package 'tesseract' to mentors.debian.net was
successful. Sponsors can now download it. The URL of your package is:

Re: tesseract-ocr: missing-dependency-on-libc
2008/4/29 Cyril Brulebois [EMAIL PROTECTED]: and I even tried manually adding libc too, all without luck. DON'T DO THAT. There are libc6, libc6.1, libc0.1, and libc0.3 around. You don't want to hardcode it. Ever. I figured as much, but wanted to see what I could do to change the error. I was about to look into it, but your package FTBFSes with gcc 4.3, patch attached. Thanks, applied. I'll forward it upstream. While writing the patch, I noticed that upon resume (debuild -b -nc), ./configure gets run again, which is kind of unfortunate (although not that long on a reasonable machine, it's at least inelegant). Oh, and even during a regular build, there's a configure even after make. Thanks. I'll sort it out. You're calling dh_shlibdeps (see what it does to understand the original error) way too early; it shouldn't be called before dh_install. Ahhh. Thanks. Now it is lintian clean. But I have the following warnings. In another package, I fixed similar warning by setting LDLOADLIBS in rules.

However I dislike the `install -d' and `cp' calls in debian/rules. dh_installdirs and dh_install exist. By using dh_install, you don't need to create the directories with dh_dirs first. Are you saying that the upstream Makefile should get the structure right and one dh_install call should do the rest? But looking hard at the dh_install manual page I think has solved my problem.

I managed to pick the number from the wrong bug tracker in the changelog but the correct one elsewhere. Stupid. Fixed. Did you run lintian against the .changes file? I downloaded your sources from mentors, built the package and ran lintian on it and got: W: tesseract source: debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error line 32 The lintian I had (and on mentors) said it was clean. I thought I had a current build system. I have just installed lintian from unstable and now I get the same error, which I have also fixed.

Re: takeover (Re: RFS: gscan2pdf (updated package))
Have you agreed with John Goerzen that you take over maintenance of this package? http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gscan2pdf.html John has been in contact with me in the meantime, so I hope I won't need a sponsor!
