In testing with using the downloads.legdersmb.org site instead of the github.com/ledgersmb/LedgerSMB site, it was able to both find the new or current upstream version as well as automatically test the pgp signature check. So the next step will be to update it for the ds repack (not just rename) and see how that works. Robert James Clay, j...@rocasa.us

I'd always thought that resulted from the GitHub pgpsigurlmangle entry[1], which does point to the 'releases'. And if the final URL is pointed to the 'releases' also, it fails because it can't find the *.asc file as it's looking for the wrong file name and ends up not downloading anything. That's why it confused me; the form of watch I ended up using at least downloaded files but still failed due to the apparently bad downloaded archive. > And I think using upstream http release page is much simpler for you.

debian/watch file for the ledgersmb package
All, The upstream for the ledgersmb package [1] moved from Sourceforge to GitHub including for where new releases of the application are made available; so the debian/watch file in the package needed to be`updated for the new locations of the distribution archive and its detached`gpg file that is used for verification. Updating the watch file [2] so that uscan can see new releases was successful but the *.asc file associated with the new releases and used for the gpg verification does not seem to get referenced properly so the verification step fails. (Or the verify is happening after the repack for some reason but before renaming the archive? It's not clear...) Since the verify step is failing, the step for doing the repack of the archive does not happen. Manually downloading then verifying the archive can be done successfully although then repacking the upstream archive also has to done manually. The download, verify, and repacking was successful at the time when the watch file was pointing to the old SourceForge site. Running, for instance, the command "uscan --force-download --verbose --rename --destdir .." results in the error "BAD signature". And indeed, checking the resulting files from that command finds that the archive does look to have been repacked (it's smaller) and so the verify fails. The current upstream version in Debian is 1.5.21 but 1.6.3 has been released; I'll be working on upgrading the packaging for the new series. I'd appreciate if the current version of the debain/watch file be reviewed and advice given about how it could be updated to work properly. Besides the new releases being available at github (via their tags), they are also available at a separate upstream site [3]; I wonder if it would be better to try using that?

Presuming that's to me (I generally use Jame or my first two initials, not my full middle name...): I find that I didn't keep a copy of that run for some reason so I'd need to do it again but IIRC, one large component of that diff was the change for where the css and template files get installed by the package. In any case, the main justification is the security fixes and the fact that it's a leaf package. That's what I planned to use, plus noting the number of fixes besides the security related fix as well as quoting (and referencing) the upstream announce message where it is advised that all should upgrade to that version.

d/copyright for mrtg-ping-probe (ITA)
All, One of things I decided to do as part of adopting the mrtg-ping-probe package was to rewrite debian/copyright for DEP-5. The first thing I noticed when I was doing that is that while the original debian/copyright was for GPL-2+ for all files, the actual source COPYRIGHT file looks to be GPL-2 not GPL-2+. In the new version of d/copyright; I've kept GPL-2+ for the debian directory files but listed Files: * as just GPL-2. Both with a line pointing to the GPL-2 file in common licenses. Does that seem the way to go? Note also that Lintian now complains about the FSF address in the first license entry, presumably because I copied it from the original source COPYRIGHT file.

Note that I currently intend to resolve Debian bug # 553945 and Sourceforge bug # 3214825 in the next version of ttylog. Note that the next version of ttylog will be v0.2.0. Let me first note that I'm not a Debian Developer and thus cannot really help you by uploading the package :) Still, what do you think about the following comments and suggestions? :) I very much appreciate them and will be evaluating them for inclusion to ttylog and/or it's packaging. First, I've attached a series of patches to the ttylog upstream: Thank you very much for attaching actual patches! They'll make it a _lot_ easier to evaluate what you're commenting on. - if the user has set the standard CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS or LDFLAGS variables in the environment, use them instead of -g -O2 I'll evaluate that for inclusion with the next version of ttylog, v0.2.0. - if the user runs ttylog with invalid arguments, exit with a status of 1, not 0 (not really necessary, just, I don't know, good practice? :) Planned for the next version, v0.2.0. - a bit stricter checking of command-line arguments: - do not try to retrieve the -1st element of an array if there is no baud-rate option on the command line I'll evaluate that for inclusion with the next version of ttylog, v0.2.0. - check for buffer overflow attempts through a looong modem name :) An aspect of the existing Debian bug # 553945 and as already noted, planned for the next version (v0.2.0). - check for errors in tcgetattr(), tcsetattr(), select(), etc. - fix some compiler warnings if stricter warning options are passed to the compiler - check for some more errors so as to be able to build a hardened executable Those I'll investigate for inclusion in the next version, v0.2.0. And then, there are a couple of ideas for the Debian packaging itself: - switch directly to the 3.0 (quilt) source format - unless, of course, you have a reason to stick to 1.0? Not so much that I had a reason to stick to it for this release, as that I had no particular reason to change to it at this time. I am considering it for the packaging for v0.2.0, since that is when I am planning major changes for both ttylog itself as well as to its packaging. - bump the debhelper compatibility level to 7 and let dh_clean and dh_installchangelogs do their job (they can guess what files to remove or install by themselves now :) - make even better use of debhelper 7 - since your Debian packaging is very simple, the rules file may be brought down to only a couple of lines by using the dh(1) helper tool To be considered for the packaging of the next major ttylog version, v0.2.0. Did not want to make too many issues just yet for, for instance, backporting. - use the dpkg-buildflags program introduced in dpkg-dev 1.15.7 to obtain the default values for CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS; besides other things, this takes care of e.g. noopt being specified in the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS variable - note that this patch adds the debian/patches/01-flags.patch to the upstream Makefile, which is actually the first patch in the upstream series above; this might not be necessary if you like this change and accept it upstream :) That's something I'll certainly investigate doing. Thanks! - build with the -Werror compiler flag if the user requests it by specifying werror in the DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS variable (useful for testing sometimes) To be considered for the packaging of the next major ttylog version, v0.2.0. - build with lots

Google pointed me to this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PbuilderHowto Seems that Ubuntu provides the Debian keyring as well. According to this page this makes Ubuntu a very powerful package development platform for both Ubuntu _and Debian. I have Ubuntu on my Laptop, but of course I would prefer to keep Debian as the base platform for package development. What would you suggest how to include the Ubuntu keyring into Debian? Download the source archive for it, build it locally, then install it. That's what I did for my local systems, for similar reasons... 1) dget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubuntu-keyring/ ubuntu-keyring_2010.+09.30.dsc 2) Used debuild to build the package locally. Used debsign on the resulting files. 3) Installed that package where I needed it, including to my local package repository.

What I've been using is the examples info in the man page; i.e., create an archive, create a tag, then do a 'pristine-tar commit' to that archive and that tag. Seems to work well enough, but I also would be interested in best practises/tutorial in case I'm missing something... One thing I've found is if you are also upstream for the package, and you want to use git-buildpackage, you need to do the 'pristine-tar commit' for both the distribution archive and the debian 'orig' archive. It's easy enough to do (just rename the distribution archive to the debian 'orig' format do the commit on that) , but is an extra step. (If there is an easier/better way to do that, I'd be interested in hearing about it...)

Re: Copyright if package is taken over?

His package had many lintian problems, so I removed all lintian warnings and got the package uploaded to Debian. Since then I've updated the package with new upstream versions many times. When the package was first uploaded, Gerkan said I could remove all the debian/changelog entries by him. The debian/copyright still lists him as debianizing the package, and licenses the packaging to him (under GPLv3). If I leave the bit listing him as origionally debianizing the package and copyright the packaging to me, saying I origionally based the package on his package, would that conform to GPLv3 and Debian Policy? Seems to me that you should leave his entry, noting whatever years he worked on it; then add yours to it..

The ifstat package provides /usr/bin/ifstat and the ifcico package provides /usr/lib/ifmail/ifstat so I wouldn't expect a conflict there True; except that /usr/bin is more likely to be in the $PATH than /usr/lib/ifmail...(Unless a particular user account is used specifically for the ifcico similar programs, in which case the $PATH could be adjusted for that ...) (as long as anything needing the executable from ifcico has that path hard-coded or pre-empting /usr/bin as necessary). When I use programs in scripts, I usually include the path for whatever executables I'm using. Don't normally do that when I use a program from the command line... The manpage for the former is in section 1 and the manpage for the latter would go in section 8 if consistent with the manpages for the other stuff in /usr/lib/ifmail, so again no conflict (though users with both installed will need to specify 'man 8 ifstat' to see the one from ifcico). -- Ah, yes; I overlooked that aspect of it; so I'll likely go ahead write up a man page for it (ifstat in ifcico package).
