Please take a look at section 6.3 of the developer reference[2].  Please
also read the part about the package description (6.2.1-3).

Is the language the compiler is written for used anywhere?

Right, but that's only half of the story. Dylan did not upload any
orig.tar.gz, so Mentors tried to fetch it from the Debian repository
(which is a more or less useless hack I think), but failed as well. For
some reasons the HTTP response code reply was hence threatened as Tarball.

Does anyone have any idea why dput is always omiting the orig.tar.gz file

Is it's debian version greater then 1? If it is, it will use -1's
orig.tar.gz, so you
don't have to keep uploading it, since the upstream version is the
same.

Last I knew, anyway.

yes, that's the problem. Dylan is trying to upload an increased Debian
revision (last upload was a -4). dpkg-genchanges does not include the
orig.tar.gz in such cases unless you explicitly force dpkg-buildpackage
to do so (give it -sa).

Maybe we should refuse such uploads as the old mentors did as well.

The -1 orig tarball was not uploaded to debian mentors but to another server. 
So for the current version it should upload it.

 Is it's debian version greater then 1? If it is, it will use -1's

 Last I knew, anyway.

  Right, but that's only half of the story. Dylan did not upload any
  orig.tar.gz, so Mentors tried to fetch it from the Debian repository
  (which is a more or less useless hack I think), but failed as well. For
  some reasons the HTTP response code reply was hence threatened as Tarball.

Hi,

Dylan Borg borgdy...@hotmail.com writes:
 The new package now with a -5 has been succesfuly uploaded to mentors
 complete with original source.

While I will not sponsor your package as I neither know nor care about
.Net, I did take a short look at it and noticed several problems:

 - The source for several files is missing from the package, at least
   one file seems to be copyright by Microsoft.  Shared libraries
   available in other packages should be used instead of bundling an
   embedded copy.
   In any case, all licenses and copyright holders need to be documented
   in debian/copyright.

 - I'm also not sure that the binaries will actually be built from
   source during the build process as, for example, the source files
   (*.dyl) include references to other source files using absolute
   paths.

 - The upstream tarball includes quite a lot of files that are generated
   by ./configure (such as Makefile, config.log and others).

 - Why does the package build-depend on devscripts? Why on
   autotools-dev?

 - You seem to misunderstand what debian/watch is used for.  It should
   look for new upstream releases and is unrelated to the package being
   in the Debian archive.  See uscan(1) for details.

Regards,
Ansgar

Hi Dylan;

It seems like your package ships several .dll files that are not rebuilt
during the package build process.  By policy 2.2.1, your package must be
buildable from source using tools in main; the easiest way to
demonstrate this is to do it.  

I'm not a .NET expert, but I was also not sure that the the .DLL files
are really architecture independant. 

Your package has some lintian warnings and errors:

W: dylandotnet: extended-description-line-too-long
E: dylandotnet: depends-on-metapackage depends: mono-complete
W: dylandotnet: debian-changelog-line-too-long line 1
W: dylandotnet: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/dylandotnet
E: dylandotnet: helper-templates-in-copyright
E: dylandotnet: helper-templates-in-copyright
E: dylandotnet: copyright-contains-dh_make-todo-boilerplate

Note that debian/copyright is crucial for a package to be accepted into
the archive.



Aside from lintians complaints, your description also didn't really help
me understand what the package is.  Please see

   
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-pkg-synopsis

   
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-pkg-desc

For some hints about writing a short and long description. Remember your
audience is likely not expert in .NET

I found the phrase This compiler when ready a bit discouraging; is the
compiler useful for something now? 

It would be good to clarify if your package has anything to do with

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dylan_(programming_language)

I'm guessing not, but this is the default when I hear dylan and
programming language.

You may also want to look for feedback/sponsorship from the debian mono
team.

I'm not sure why lintian does not catch this, but your changelog needs
work.

 - target should be debian unstable, not ubuntu.

 - Your closes line is wrong, it should not be part of the line with
 urgency=low. 

 - Your changelog should also close a Debian ITP bug, since that is the
 right place to have a discussion about whether a proposed package is
 suitable for Debian.

OK.

 Right now the current dylan.NET compiler is only runnable on windows.

 Because the build cannot happen on Linux currently I ship the dlls

Then I think you will have to target contrib rather than Debian main

MS-Windows certainly counts as a non-free package ;).

Do you think there is enough audience to justify uploading to Debian at

 It does not have to do with the Dylan programming language.

Subject: RFS: dylandotnet (updated package)

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 11.2.7.1-2
of my package dylandotnet.

It builds these binary packages:
dylandotnet - This is the dylan.NET compiler to be run on the Mono framework.

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dylandotnet
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free
- dget 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dylandotnet/dylandotnet_11.2.7.1-2.dsc

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

Kind regards
 Dylan Borg

Hi Dylan;

non-free is used in Debian in a technical sense to refer to software
that does not mee the Debian Free Software Guidelines. In order to be
included in Debian main, not only must your software be DFSG free, but
it must be buildable using only DFSG free tools. Since your software
only builds on Windows so far, it can't be built only with DFSG free
tools. This is why I referred you to specific sections of Debian policy.

In my opinion, you should also address the question of what-kind/how
large of an audience your package would have. You have to remember that
you are in the position of selling your package to a potential sponsor,
and there are many packages and people clamouring for attention.

As my audience I would like people wanting to work in .NET/CLI and wanting a 
new language to programwith that is not under the power of large companies(i.e. 
C#). I plan to make program templates for using component such as gtk and other 
commonly used linux libraries. As self-hosting is achieved dylan.NET shall be 
only developed under Linux.

please note Debian is not intended as a possible platform to promote and
advocate your own project. You should have a notable user base before
you are actually trying to introduce a package to Debian.

Don't get me wrong, it is perfectly fine to have upstream authors
interested to maintain their own projects in Debian - no one else would
know them better than they do. What David wanted to advise you is, you
should - perhaps - think whether your program really already has enough
users, which would justify inclusion to Debian targeted to a large
audience in contrast to some enthusiastic contributors. You seem not to
have really much downloads [1].

Moreover, all we can do, is to suggest you what you could or should do.
It is still fine if you keep trying to find a sponsor for your package
once you passed through at least the things David mentioned - but the
tenor of our comments seem to suggest you should perhaps wait a bit more
until you really want to push Debian inclusion. Since your build
dependencies are non free (as of our DFSG, as David explained you
already) things are even more complicated (for you).

2011-05-14 Thread Dylan Borg 

Therefore I will try pushing the package again in July since that is my target 
for getting rid of all non-dfsg build tools. But from now I wanted to fix the 
debian directory so when the code is completely includable in Debian I could 
include it without much much fuss at that point.

From: Dylan Borg borgdy...@hotmail.com

Subject: RFS: dylandotnet

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package dylandotnet.

* Package name: dylandotnet
  Version : 11.2.6-2
  Upstream Author : Dylan Borg borgdy...@hotmail.com
* URL : http://launchpad.net/dylandotnet
* License : GNU GPL v2
  Section : devel

It builds these binary packages:
dylandotnet - This is the dylan.NET compiler

The package appears to be lintian clean.

My motivation for maintaining this package is: to give a new Mono language to 
the communities of Debian and Ubuntu. I intend to maintain and package the 
software myself since I am its author.

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dylandotnet
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main 
contrib non-free

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dylandotnet/dylandotnet_11.2.6-2.dsc

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