It should be more direct and less narrative, with the key/unique features easily readable. You have to show the user if the package fits what is needed or not. The changelog entry is too long, the Initial release line is enough, the rest is not relevant (and is incomplete anyway).

Re: RFS: vbackup
Hi Stefanos, On Sun, 30 Dec 2007 16:53:12 +0200 Stefanos Harhalakis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My name is Stefanos Harhalakis and I'm a sysadmin at TEI of Thessaloniki, Greece. I'm looking for a sponsor for a program of mine (I've also created the debian package). This is a new package: Name: vbackup License: GPLv2. May be changed to GPLv3. Version: 0.1.4 Author: Stefanos Harhalakis [EMAIL PROTECTED] (that's me) URL: http://www.it.teithe.gr/~v13/vbackup/ ITP: 458340 deb: http://hydra.it.teithe.gr/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-all/admin/vbackup_0.1.4-2_all.deb You have to provide your source package link (.dsc file), in your case: http://hydra.it.teithe.gr/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/admin/vbackup_0.1.4-2.dsc vbackup is a modular backup program. It is a set of scripts that can perform full or incremental system backups. Currently it supports: * Filesystem backups using tar * XFS backups using xfsdump * PostgreSQL backups * MySQL backups * dpkg package list backups and can be easily extended to do other things. AFAIK there's several backup script packages in Debian, which makes yours better/different from the others? I'm using parts of this program to backup some of our systems for the last 2+ years. The program is developed by me and I'm developing it for our needs (currently, it is going to backup 8 systems). I've already packaged it and created a mini repository to ease the installation on those systems (7 of them are running debian). Since I'm the original author of the program and I'm depending on debian packages for using this program in our systems, I believe that this package will not become easily unmaintained. That's good :) The reason I've created vbackup and I'm seeking for debian inclusion is that I believe that there is no similar backup program available. vbackup is opensource, very simple to setup, very easy to extend and it is shell script based. Belief is not enough, IMHO. At least you should do some little research among existing backup packages of the same category and show us that yours is different. The package almost passes the lintian check and fully passes the linda check. There is a problem with the rules file because there are commands listed in arch-binary instead of arch-indep (the package is for architecture: all) but I'm not 100% sure about how to correctly correct this. There is also a (I believe) bogus warning that lintian reports: Currently your package doesn't build under pbuilder because clean target assumes too much: you have to replace your «$(MAKE) distclean» in debian/rules by «[ ! -f Makefile ] || $(MAKE) distclean» or similar. Lintian warnings are not bogus: W: vbackup source: binary-arch-rules-but-pkg-is-arch-indep You have to move binary-arch rules to binary-indep, as no arch-dependent packages are built. There's also a lot of commented lines from template in rules, these are there to be removed if not used. W: vbackup source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.7.2 (current is 3.7.3) Change the Standards-Version field to the current one (3.7.3, of course :) Seems dh-make templates are still not updated. There's also a couple of informative messages you may want to fix (give and additional -I flag to lintian to discover them). I could not register vbackup with the sponsors.debian.net site. I've created the ITP (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=458340) using reportbug but the site keep saying: - Connecting to bugs database... done Searching database... done Some errors occured: ITP/ITA number 458340 doesn't have the phrase ITP: vbackup or ITA: vbackup in the title - while the ITP bug report actually has this in the title.

Anyway your case is clearly different, your source is a kpr file not a pdf one. If not, then how should I proceed? I can put the .kpr, .ps and .pdf in the package... I could place the .kpr, .ps and .pdf in /usr/share/doc/myslides... does that sound reasonable? Do you have a better suggestion? It sounds pretty reasonable to me, maybe adding a note to the README.Debian saying the kpr is the original source and kpresenter package is required to modify it, for example. regards, -- Ricardo Mones Lastra - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Centro de Inteligencia Artificial, Universidad de Oviedo en Gijon 33271 Asturias, SPAIN. - http://www.aic.uniovi.es/mones -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

First:
1. The sheer number of helper scripts, with layers and layers of
scripts built on top of each other is really confusing.
You don't need to understand they all to make packages, but at least
you can see what they are doing.
2. The number of files that I have to create within the /debian
directory is difficult to deal with, and having to create the /debian
directory within my application directory and being forced to name my
application directory according to debian rules is very irritating.
Most of the files added by dh_make are there to be deleted. IIRC you
only need the control, rules, compat, changelog and copyright, the rest
is pretty optional.
3. Most of the package creation scripts (I'm refering explicitly to
dh_make which is supposed to be the proper way of creating a package,
as discussed in the New Maintainer's Guide) expect that you are
building a traditional unix application, that's written in C, has
./configure and a Makefile. All we are doing in most of our packages
is installing some files. Why can't that be simple?
It is, make the Makefile copy the files at the right location. Anyway
seems you're forgetting Debian packaging is meant for sources to be
built in different architectures, not a replacement for tar+gzip.
I feel that RPM creation is better here. One command ('rpmbuild') is
used. One file, the package.spec file, is needed with different
sections for each part. I can keep my rpm packaging files any where I
want it, and I don't have to have my application directory conform to
any debian rules.
So you want to make a Debian package that is not a Debian package? Use
the right tool: tar czf
Why can't debian package building be as simple as 'dpkg-create
foo.spec'?
Quality has a price.
Second, why can't I create packages with standard unix commands? Why
can't I say something like:
$ tar cvzf data.tgz myapplication/*
$ tar czvf control.tgz control
$ tar czvf mypackage-0.1.deb data.tgz control.tgz
You can, in fact they are designed for using standard tools, but you
have to understand the package structure first. Try ar x any.deb
My main complaint here, is that we really want to be able to build the
debian packages from any developer workstation. Since we don't impose
operating system requirements on developers, we can't expect debian to
be on all workstations.
Right now, using Debian to deploy our software seems more and more
difficult for us. I'd greatly appreciate any advice or comments. All I
want to be able to do is create a package on any unix system that can
be installed via apt-get, that simply installs some files, and can use
the pre/post install/remove scripts. This seems like a simple thing to
do, but the process seems very difficult.
I repeat, you don't want to use apt-get, you want to use wget and a
web server populated with tar.gz files. Imposing apt-get is making your
non-Debian workstation developers change the natural way of installing
sofware, so, if you can do that, don't mess with making debs, make a
script called tycoon-install that grabs the tar.gz from your server
and unpacks it to the right location and teach your users.
