From my build process:

To say it more plainly: Modifying previous changelog entries, while not
prohibited, does break an implicit user expectation. I think that
expectation is reasonable to an extent, and breaking it is costly to the

But there are good reasons to do it at some point, like a new
upstream actually fixed some bugs, and it was realized only afterwards.
So I close the bug per email with a version header indicating the
version where it is fixed, and later I change the old changelog
entry
* new upstream release (Closes: )
and add a few more bugs there.
I consider this reasonable, but in general, I agree it is better to
refrain from too wild rewritting of changelog entries.

CRAIL (n. mineral)
Crail is a common kind of rock or gravel found widely across the
British Isles. Each individual stone (due to an as yet undiscovered
gravitational property) is charged with 'negative buoyancy'. This
means that no matter how much crail you remove from the garden, more
of it will rise to the surface. Crail is much employed by the Royal
Navy for making the paperweights and ashtrays used inside submarines.

and run lintian on the resulting package:

So I fixed those things and build a new package, now it is lintian clean.
I attach a fixed debian/rules file (too many diffs) in which I also
removed those lines that are completely useless. The generated rules

Of course I came to that idea by running lintian (Lintian v1.24.2.1+lenny1)

probably running sid. I see now that for software intended for sid I should
run the sid versions of these tools.
No, the problem is that you run it *ONLY* on the binary package and *NOT*
on the source package. Best is to:
- unpack the source package
- build it with dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot (or any other
incantantion you like)
- after that you have in the parent dir a .changes files that lists
the binary and source package files
- on that changes file you run lintian (as shown in my previous email)
If you do that on lenny it will the same spit out warnings over warnings!
I also see that I overlooked that the binary-arch target is required - sorry.
That is why lintian is for, and it is working, also on lenny. Only you
didn't use it the right way.
It did not occur to me to check for gtkdialog in Sid (it is available in
Lenny http://packages.debian.org/lenny/gtkdialog). So, until there is a
gtkdialog package in Sid, snap2 cannot run. This is a great disappointment -
I put a lot of effort into this, my first Debian package.
Check for zenity, but you have to adjust the way it is invoced, AFAIS
the --program option is not present.

One of the ways dpkg-source v3 differs from dpkg-source v1 is that any
debian/ directory in the orig.tar.gz is removed before the
debian.tar.gz is unpacked. So debian.tar.gz cannot be empty and the
upstream debian/ directory if any is irrelevant.
That is not compliant with what it *SHOULD* do. If there is a debian
dir in upstream (again, anyone showing me the policy point forbidding

I have been keeping in touch with Michael about such smaller version of
xpdf and, in fact, I started a xpdf-poppler project, that I announced at
One more comment on that from the Debian TeX Team: As TeX is using
the xpdf code in several places, we (first Ubuntu patch, updated
regularly now by us and them together) patched the sources to
allow compilation with poppler and xpdf, and this was pushed also
upstream.
BUT: It is a BIG BIG BIG PITA Poppler people are simply completely
ignorant wrt to breaking API. If you look into the amount of
different patches we had to create for poppler 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 0.10, 0.12
and so on, I am sure this will continue.
SO actually I considered to switch back to the embedded xpdf code
for Debian texlive packages, just to get rid of that stupid problems:
new poppler hits unstable, changes API at random, so texlive FTBFS
In fact I never got any answer on my (more polite than here) requests
from them.
I am not sure if basing anything new on poppler is actually a good idea.
Martin Schröder once at a BachoTeX conference gave a good overview

up and be used in as many places as possible. Poppler people unfortunately
do everything to make this fail.

I read that, and might I suggest ps_view? (also pdf viewer). It is
installed by default on TeX Live on Windows, and it is available
form source forege. It is *MINIMAL* small, uses lua, some ps code,
and it is hundredthousandtimes better than any ps/pdf viewer I have
seen. You can zoom ad infinitum, because it is the only program
that does not render the full page, but uses PS clipping. It has nice
rulers for evaluating the desing, etc etc etc
Probably the best place to get it is from the TeX Live svn/rsync
as we did the necessary chagnes.
Well, I have it running here, too, but I am too lazy to make a
package for Debian for it.

Indeed. Is there a need for any header except the shabang, or can I

Yes you can remove all but the shebang, but some comments might be

Interesting, I always advise people to bump the Debian version as soon
as they've distributed it at all anywhere, to avoid confusion by any who
I don't do that, but I recommend people to use
-1~1
-1~2
etc until there is an ok, then build a
-1
and let it go.
Is there official guidance on this issue anywhere?
Not that I know of, maybe it is just my own way of doing it.

Re: Questions about the changelog file
On Fr, 17 Apr 2009, Laurent Léonard wrote: Is there a standard or a recommendation for the content of the changelog file ? Hmm, I guess it is up to you but it should be informative for developers, and it should be clear. Taking some examples: - Is it better to specify the modified file or not ? For example if I add a build dependency, should I specify I added it to debian/control ? Well, every DD or DM knows that a build-dep is added to debian/control, so I never write: debian/control: add build dependency on ... But if you want to do so then it is fine, too. I guess the point is that you have to find your own style so that *you* know what you have done, and that others can at least deduce what you have done with some common knowledge. - Is it better to specify the file concerned by the change at the beginning of the sentence before a : character ? Or included in the sentence ? Again, either or. I normally do not include these things at all. - Is there an order for the changes (importance...) ? Again up to you. I leave it normally the way I added it with dch during development. But sometimes when merging some experimental intermediate releases I regroup the entries ordered by importance. - Is it better to end the sentence by a final point or not ? Hehe, that is a good questions (mind the missing full stop ;-) - Should I use for example: Added ..., Fixed ..., Updated ... or Add ..., Fix ..., Update ... ? Again, find your own style.

uscan and how to extract a version from a README file
Hi all! I want to add a watch file to a package but the upstream distribution is in a directory *without* a version number, and the dir does not contain a file with the version as part of the filename. So now I want to extract the version from the README file which is present in the directory. AFAIU uscan does only match with href stuff, so this doesn't work with a normal text file.

packages size versus files under dpkg control
Dear DD! I would like to have your comment on the following packaging decision: In packaging the cm-super fonts, i.e. repackaging the pts-tetex-cm-super package, we have two options: 1) Install all font files (*.pfb) as is 2) Install a compressed definition file and create the pfb files at package installation time, then deleting the definition file. Why would someone want the second approach: SIze reason! In the first version the deb has 57M, while in the second approach we would have about half the size. Advantage of 1) - all files are under dpkg control - no file under dpkg control is deleted in the postinst script Advantage of 2) - smaller size, less load on mirrors and users Could one of you suggest what would be the optimal solution for this case?

Welcome back from holidays! I will pester you with a lot of texlive questions/problems/... soon :-) Oh, thanks. But I am just building a new version. BTW: Are you using sarge or sid? THe problem now is that according to my mentor all the packages have to be build on sid. But since there are only a view bin packages I will make sarge and sid versions. Will see. Back to your question: I personally hate files that are not under dpkg control, because you cannot check using debsums, dpkg -L, dpkg -S, etc. Grin, me too! AFAIK, there are plans to register and unregister files with the package management, but currently this is not possible. Ok, but this for sure will take ages! Conclusion: Go for 2 and hope, that someone implements dpkg file Ok, I count one for option 2. There are several others on debian-tetex who also have suggested this. register/unregister some day. But do *not* delete the definition files, so that one can re-create the font files easily without having to do the full re-installation cycly. If I understand you correctly, the definition files are not that huge. Well, half the size, around 30M. So in total 90M. But on a normal system this should not be a problem, you're right. (And no, I wont add a debconf question: Do you want to keep the blalba file?)

Hrm, doesn't that happen automatically on first use? No, this is done for the pk/tfm/mf files, but up to now *not* for pfb. And it will be quite some work to get it at this point.

install-info problems with DOS encoded files
Dear friends! I have the following problem: Upstream ships .info files in DOS encoding. And install-info in my postinst (automatically generated by dh_installinfo) script moans that No `START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY' and no `This file documents'. install-info(/usr/share/info/dvips.info): unable to determine description for `dir' entry - giving up The problem is the /usr/sbin/install-info is perl and searches for /^START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY$/ which does not match, and the document does not start with The file documents ..., but This manual documents ... Is this a bug in the install-info program, or should I convert all the info files to unix lineendings?

RFC/RFS: TeXlive for Debian
Dear friends! Dear DDs! Dear TeX Gurus! I would like to ask for comments on the packages of TeX live I have created. The original ITP is #312897, see http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/06/msg00970.html The TeX live for Debian packages consists out of 66 source packages and 78 binary packages. These packages are all build more or less automatically from the TeX live perforce depot. For more detailed information please see http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html In a nutshell, you need: deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ pool/ deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ pool/ and if you want texinfo installed too, you also have to use my local texinfo packages (which will get NMUed by someone else soon). They are available at deb http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ texinfo/ deb-src http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ texinfo/ After apt-get update you can install texlive-latexrecommended for a start. At http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/log/ you can find several log file, namely: collection-*.build.log Output of the build process using tpm2deb.pl and dpkg-buildpackage texlive-*_version.lintian.log the output of lintian texlive-*_version.changes lintian.log the compilation of lintian-log files ordered by error/warning tags and pkgs. texlive-*_version.linda.log the output of linda -f lintian texlive-*_version.changes linda.log the compilation of linda-log files ordered by error/warning tags and pkgs. Please note that the packages are ATM being rsynced to www.tug.org. They should be there within a few hours. All the packages have version 2005.08.18-1 Best wishes Norbert --- Dr. Norbert Preining preining AT logic DOT at Università di Siena sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +43 (0) 59966-690018 gpg DSA: 0x09C5B094 fp: 14DF 2E6C 0307 BE6D AD76 A9C0 D2BF 4AA3 09C5 B094 --- BURBAGE The sound made by a liftful of people all trying to breathe politely through their noses. --- Douglas Adams, The Meaning of Liff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
