Bug#733578: hwinfo/21.0-1 needs updates / FTBFS of libx86emu

2014-01-27 Thread Johann Felix Soden
Hi Sebastien, hi Tomasz,

I have not yet completely reviewed hwinfo 21.0-1, but
there is at least one thing which needs to be fixed:

 - debian/libhd21.symbols is incomplete on i386. A fixed version is 
   attached.

And I found trailing whitespaces in old debian/changelog entries and
debian/libhd-doc.doc-base.

Since related, here some comments about libx86emu:

At the moment, it FTBFS on some architectures [mips, mipsel,
powerpc, ...] because of missing sys/io.h.
As the new hwinfo depends on it, this restricts the architectures where
it will be available. So this should be fixed before hwinfo is uploaded
- for example by fixing libx86emu itself or by reducing the dependency
to the architectures where it is really available.

Actually, the libx86 package contains a copy of libx86emu
and has therefore similar problems [1,2]. Please contact Anibal Monsalve
Salazar (ani...@debian.org) who maintains it. Especially for the
security team, it would be nice, if it could use the new libx86emu
package instead of including its own copy.

Best wishes
 Johann Felix

PS: Please update the git repositories where needed.

Bug#733579: RFS: libx86emu/1.4-1 [ITP]

2014-01-22 Thread Johann Felix Soden
Hi Sebastien,

the libx86emu-package looks quite ready now - good job!
I found only one thing which should be fixed:

- The description of the libx86emu-dev specifies that it
  contains a static library, which is not the case
  and is not necessary for a -dev package.
 
  The solution is simple: Use the same first paragraph
  as in the libx86emu1 package.
  The line This package contains the development files. is fine.

It would be nice, if you could also update the timestamp in
debian/changelog to show that the package was updated. 

Contact me again, if the package is fixed. If there is nothing else, 
I am going to sponsor it.
Feel free to contact me for further uploads of this package.

I plan also to look at your RFS for hwinfo, but it seems that
you already have people who can sponsor it...

Best regards,
 Johann Felix

Bug#717360: Review for RFS: niceshaper/1.0.0-2 [ITP]

2013-09-29 Thread Johann Felix Soden
Hi Mariusz,

here a short review of your niceshaper package on mentors.d.n (might not be 
complete):

- COPYING and debian/copyright do not match: Is your software GPL-2 or 
GPL-2+, which means GPL v2 or later? 

- remove trailing whitespaces in debian/ files (use egrep '\s$'  debian/*).

- remove the comments at the beginning of debian/rules about its dh-make origin.

- fix lintian warnings:

  W: niceshaper source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.9.3 (current is 3.9.4)
  W: niceshaper: hardening-no-relro usr/bin/niceshaper
  I: niceshaper: hardening-no-fortify-functions usr/bin/niceshaper
  - Enable hardening: switch to debian/compat 9 and adapt the makefiles 
accordingly: they should append to
 the build flags. The code does not compile with -Werror=format-security so 
you need either overwrite this flag or 
 fix your code.

 - As it seems that the configuration of niceshaper needs to be adapted nearly 
everywhere,
   it does not make much sense to start it automatically with some example 
settings.
   Therefore I recommend you to disable it by default (add a commented 
/etc/default/niceshaper 
   file with something like NICESHAPER_ENABLE=false and check it in the init.d 
script).
   Add a README.Debian which describe what the user needs to do to enable it.
   
   But maybe you have a better idea, how to improve the usage for normal user.

 - bonus (optional): support vim-addon-manager (add 
/usr/share/vim/registry/niceshaper.yaml, see 
   /usr/share/doc/vim-addon-manager/addons-proposal.txt for details).


Best regards,
 Johann Felix Soden

Bug#713809: RFS: ttylog/0.25-1

2013-06-22 Thread Johann Felix Soden
Hi Robert, hi Adrian,

I was not aware of the improvements that Adrian suggested and therefore
uploaded already the 0.25-1 package. We had just a bad timing.

Since buildflags are now used in debian/rules, hardening is already
enabled. IMHO, the other suggested improvements are more or less
cosmetic and can therefore wait. But Robert, please do not hesitate to
contact me with a ttylog/= 0.25-2 RFS if you want or need it.

Best wishes
  Johann Felix

Bug#677092: RFS: wmctrl/1.07-7 [ITA] -- control an EWMH/NetWM compatible X Window Manager

2012-06-21 Thread Johann Felix Soden
Hi Jeroen,

thanks for adopting wmctrl! I would sponsor your package, but please
fix the following small issues first:

 - use the current homepage in debian/watch
 - remove 03_makefile_prelibs.patch (it is not in debian/patches/series
and does not work because either Makefile.in need to be patched
or you need to call automake, e.g. by using dh_autoreconf).

   To get the intended feature, simply add to debian/rules:

override_dh_auto_build:
dh_auto_build -- LDFLAGS+=-Wl,--as-needed


 - not yet needed, but would be nice: copyright-format-1.0

Best regards,
 Johann Felix

RFS: ketchup (updated package, adopting, 3rd try)

2011-05-12 Thread Johann Felix Soden
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.9.8+hg5533f6de130c-3
of the orphaned package ketchup which I want to adopt.

It builds these binary packages:
ketchup- update utility for linux-kernel sources

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 379121, 407512, 487277, 568572, 615371, 616854

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/ketchup
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/ketchup/ketchup_0.9.8+hg5533f6de130c-3.dsc

An excerpt from debian/changelog:

  * Adopt the package (Closes: #568572) - Thanks for your work Baruch Even!
  * Convert package to the 3.0 (quilt) source format.
  * Minimize dh rules and use dh_python2 instead of python-central.
(Closes: #616854)
  * debian/control:
- Use Homepage field. (Closes: #615371)
- Add Vcs-* fields.
  * Add several patches to debian/patches/*:
- Fix url to -rt tree (Closes: #487277)
- Consider kernel_url override in all pre-defined trees. (Closes: #407512)
- Check if the right gpg key is available before starting downloads.
  (Closes: #379121)
- Stop if wget is terminated by a signal.
- Add support for longterm kernel versions.
- New 2.6-lt tree which chooses only updates that belong to the local used
  longterm/release tree.

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. As I am DM, adding 
DM-Upload-Allowed to debian/control would be possible.

Kind regards
 Johann Felix Soden

 What is the advantage over conntrack -L?

The main difference is the output format: 
netstat-nat uses a table output format similar to netstat, which in my
eyes is more human readable than the output of conntrack.

Additionally, netstat-nat can resolve IP addresses and port-numbers.

conntrack, the official tool from netfilter.org, provides a full
interface to connection tracking and has some other features like xml
output, while netstat-nat can only display the most important
information about tracked connections. See the man pages for the
details.

A short look to the popcon statistics [1,2] shows, that netstat-nat 
enjoys about the same popularity as the some years younger conntrack.

RFS: opencryptoki (QA upload, fix FTBFS)

2010-02-14 Thread Johann Felix Soden
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for a QA-upload with the new version 2.3.1+dfsg-1
of the package opencryptoki.

It builds these binary packages:
libopencryptoki-dev - PKCS#11 implementation (development)
libopencryptoki0 - PKCS#11 implementation (library)
opencryptoki - PKCS#11 implementation for (daemon)
opencryptoki-dbg - PKCS#11 implementation (debug)

The package appears to be now lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 559405

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/opencryptoki
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/opencryptoki/opencryptoki_2.3.1+dfsg-1.dsc

Here are the most important information from the changelog:
  * QA upload.
  * New upstream release
  * Solving a FTBFS on GNU/kFreeBSD (Closes: #559405).
- thanks to Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org for the prospective patch.
  * Switching to dpkg-source 3.0 (quilt) format.
  * Updating package to standards version 3.8.4:
   - Do no install /etc/ld.so.conf.d/opencryptoki-i486.conf
   - Creating instead soft-links in /usr/lib
 
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards
 Johann Felix Soden

thanks. I've added a new patch to solve the warnings.

   -O2, then everything builds fine on amd64, at least. If you compile
   with -O3, bombs with an error (not an ICE).
 
   I'm very ignorant about Java and stuff, but it seems to me that the
   compiler should be consistent about compiling the code with any kind
   of optimization levels. They are not asking the compiler to change its
   behaviour here.
 
   IMVHO, you should take this upstream (perhaps it has already been
   fixed if you build it with gcc-snapshot?).
This is g++'s PR C++/39380 which is solved at least in Debian's current
g++ 4.4.1-4. But during runtime, pdftk depends strongly on the ABI of
libitext-java-gcj which is built with gcj-4.3 at the moment. So we have
to use the same compiler version.
If there is a new version of libitext-java-gcj built with a new compiler
version, a bin-NMU of pdftk should be enough. pdftk is already buildable
with g++/gcj 4.4

RFS: pdftk (major NMU, fixes RC bugs)

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my NMU of the package pdftk.

In the last month, I sent two mails to its maintainer (Aurélien GÉRÔME)

 am I missing something?!
Yes.
From manpage of dpkg:
 dpkg returns success (zero result) if the specified condition is 
 satisfied, and failure (nonzero result) otherwise.

Perhaps a test with 'gt' (instead of 'ge') is more useful (but gives the
same result in this case).

pdfchain a is GUI for pdftk, written in C++ with GTKmm.

The package appears to be lintian clean.

I've used the existing ubuntu-ppa package
( https://launchpad.net/pdfchain ) from Günther Bauer as template, but
reworked it almost completely. Additionally, I've looked through the
Fedora package.

Since my last request 2 weeks ago, I've added a README.source and 
updated to debian-policy 3.8.3.

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
