Hi Peter, On Sat, Jul 23, 2011 at 12:22:25PM -0400, Peter Bennett wrote: Many thanks for doing this. I used rsync since cp -a was trying to copy the svn directories. For some reason I am not sure of, it was failing with an error that it was unable to create the svn directories in the destination directory. I did not look further into why that was, but just changed to rsync. If you think that is abuse I can investigate the svn issue again. Well, as I've said it's not wrong to use rsync here but it feels a bit weird when reading the packaging the first time as using rsync somewhat suggests that there may be stuff pulled from the net which of course would be a no-go. After reading more into the matter it's perfectly clear that you use it only to shuffle around files locally but that was where my comment came from. I'll leave it up to you to decide what's the best version for your package. I could also think of using two tar processes with pipe in between to achieve the same result. That's the great benefit of having so many different (and valid) solution in the open source world! I put leading zeroes in my version number thinking that in future if I went from 2.9 to 2.10 it would be considered as a lower version somewhere. Perhaps my 3 part version number is a bit excessive. I'm quite sure that you may be interested in this: $ dpkg --compare-versions 2.9.1-1 lt 2.10.1-1echo ok ok $ and luckily also: $ dpkg --compare-versions 02.09.1-1 lt 2.10.1-1echo ok ok $ So sorry but I can't buy that excuse. ;-) I am not sure what is so bad about a relative classpath in a jar file. I can get rid of the duplicate icon file. Feeding the warning into lintian-info I read: N: N: The classpath listed in the jar file refers to a potential missing jar N: file. This could be the remnants of a build-time classpath that are N: not relevant for a JAR bundled in a Debian package. N: N: Alternatively, the classpath may be correct, but the package is N: lacking a jar file or a symlink to it. N: N: Note, Lintian assumes that all (relative) classpaths pointing to N: /usr/share/java/ (but not subdirs thereof) are satisfied by N: dependencies as long as there is at least one strong libX-java N: dependency. N: N: Severity: normal, Certainty: possible N: N: Check: java, Type: binary N: So if you can confirm this is not a problem as explained by lintian you may want to put an override and have this ignored from now on. -- Best regards, Kilian signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I think that is probably not a good reason for keeping it in contrib. I could also remove that suggestion if it helps. For non-free packages in Suggests, main is fine. Contrib is in case your package build-depends, depends, or recommends a non-free one. Should I change it to main? How do I go about that?

Re: RFS: jampal
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Peter, please reply with the debian-mentors list in CC (at least). This helps other people to keep track. You can, but you don't need to address me personally as I'm subscribed there as well. On 15.05.2011 16:56, Peter Bennett wrote: Since I am the upstream developer I can make any necessary changes upstream so I thought it would be easier to make a native package. Otherwise I have to start learning quilt and other things. Perhaps I am wring in my understanding. You don't need to know (almost) anything about quilt. A native package is still wrong, as those are native /to Debian/, that is where no upstream does exist at all. All other packages have to be non native (being in 3.0 format or not). The only difference, as of your point of view is, you have to provide an unmodified orig.tar.gz packaging one of your releases, the 3.0/quilt format merges with a debian directory you provide along. Note the debian directory is automatically stripped from the upstream tarball if it exists. This is because it is discouraged to maintain the Debian packaging directly at upstream's VCS (i.e. yours). Since i was building a native package this seemed the correct thing. You would still not put any release history there which was never released as a Debian package. Please compare with the dpkg [1] changelog which is a (real) native package. There is one command that uses lame, it is not a major part of the package. I could take out lame and mention that restriction in the man page. Fair enough. All I wanted to say is, you can't distribute your package in Debian while you depend (or recommend) lame. Open Office is used by the CD cover printing command and I included some example spreadsheets for Open Office that allow for updating of tags by spreadsheet. Sounds like a good example for recommends, indeed. Maybe you find some lighter alternatives, but this is definitively not a must have. Ok. I mention 40,000 songs as an example, perhaps I have to be clearer. Maybe not in particular clearer, but more general. The postinst script for update-menu I added because lintian complained it was needed, although my experience showed otherwise. Oh, ok. As said I don't know about desktop applications. More important is the #DEBHELPER# hook which is used as place holder for debhelper commands which can add their own hooks there. Actually ptts is not being built. I should probably remove the source. It is a windows program that goes with the windows version of jampal. Please do so. Note, if you don't want to drop Windows support for you upstream as well, you may want to repack the source tarball for Debian (learn about DFSG tarballs on [2]). This is required for Debian if you target main as this has to be self-contained. That is, it must be able to reproduce your source package entirely with packages available in main already. Same may hold for other libraries/utilities you bundle (§ 4,13 [6]). tagbkup is a utility command that is bundled with jampal and used for some of the jampal commands. Perhaps it should be packaged separately. Yep. See my policy reference. Sound Video is how Ubuntu sets up its menu structure. I actually built this for Ubuntu but submitted here to see if it could get into Ubuntu through the Debian process. Apparently not :) [1] http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/dpkg [2] http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/best-pkging-practices.html#bpp-origtargz - -- with kind regards, Arno Töll GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJNz+/ZAAoJEMcrUe6dgPNtiDIP/ROlQwDuow0RyQ0qHEzWN6pV oJWAEodKur/Qnkv8vf32Rc/v7zKhW9+6WSN5HgVy90TMOT8oWkp+plzf9AhUt2P7 iK8yEnEOjUJPednbuuyJ67PBBmm2W1TlE9D7+n9cVtSp8JeItFtx1CHB0ke00skL F5W9a234G5j9FL1y+g0vpC7fe6kLolh67rdYtJFd8Dj6KsUHQwxtlhZOJlSVOdjG SUXFi8eENveRiaQsAiqkZ/n2VQHnRph8HWlpo3HxlLAIgxOfFTCL9pYJhL+J63AU ngdBjYI2zX5mBobEl+6a7cVSQ0slu65NfNgP2uc63QuLI+JbHiWJkg/tNdmLdmuc HMzYlLJJ29csCIyJaofePpifbN3XOIBhUI0T6/XTbNX+wclY0s9lMkYLZXPn7Um0 uTm8k8EDky7DaniR1KAV5dBAcAq2pj5kIsKO2k/WqvLqH4r0xXA9wUvFrSg9If8u o6fQTUXynbUv/POsGydKVFyXYmqWQqc+lEBX0MEYufWIY75mpLwh3NIta4LGZoRn 6rih7Xmg0Ia3pQbXCGydre7x/gONvxGcZYdWICLm+ttPhU94HBuP/l4fTrYXEI4B 0BgSQomYtMEgLUFbBBaKuMNo9WQmXbeaW08Qgi5PL9FSyfThv4WA1kusqv6gSw0o okjeJc7oxcqUGMB9vLCK =kLTb -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: RFS: jampal
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Peter, some comments about your package. Note I'm no DD, so I can't sponsor you, therefore my suggestions may not be effectual for you. Note your package is not distributable in Debian as is (see below). * You built a native package, that's wrong (if you would have native package you would know :)). Learn more on [1] * You seem to use a merged changelog for your upstream changes and Debian related changes. Note this is not the intention of debian/changelog. The Debian changelog should highlight changes when compared to the upstream (source) distribution [2]. * You seem not to have filed an ITP for your package. Please do that if you want to introduce your application to Debian. This is to tell other people someone is working on a given package to avoid waste of resources. Learn more about ITPs on WNPP [3] * You Standards version is outdated, please bump to 3.9.2(.0) * Your binary dependencies are redundant (you have put openjdk-6-jre twice) and you depend on lame. Lame is not in Debian and since you have this as dependency, your package is not suitable at all to Debian. I'd suggest you to use another (available) alternative. Moreover I'm not entirely sure why you recommend Open-Office.org (maybe you could elaborate?). There is no OpenOffice in Debian anymore - please depend on Libre Office instead * Your synopsis line needs some improvements. Notably it should start with a lower case character [4]. Your long description reads fine, but I'm unsure why it would make sense to point out you/one can manage exactly 40k songs with it. * Your maintainer script miss the DEBHELPER hook, please leave that untouched from the template or add it again. Someone being familiar with desktop applications might also be able to tell, whether a postinst script is really supposed to call update-menu. afaict there is a hook for it (but I'm unsure) * You should rework your rules file. While it does not look terribly wrong you are really suggested to use debhelper scripts, for instance to install changelog (dh_installchangelogs), docs and so on. While doing you could also think about switching to dh 8 (debhelper(7)/dh(1)). This also includes to give the dpkg build tools a hint about your compatibility mode (debian/compat file). * You don't include a watch file [5]. This is not strictly required though. * Your debian/copyright file looks good, but it seems to be a scary mix between DEP-5 and traditional copyright files. It does not look entirely wrong, but there are some files without copyright statement. You should fix this for files you are authoritative (i.e. the author), e.g. tagbkup/build.sh. How are files like ptts/pgbennett_speech_Speaker.h generated? * What is tagbkup/? That looks like a bundled library. It is a policy violation to build a binary packages with bundled libraries. Moreover this is C code and therefore not platform independent (you specified architecture: any). Same may hold for other libraries/utilities you bundle (§ 4,13 [6]). * Your package is not Lintian clean: W: jampal: menu-item-creates-new-section Applications/Sound Video /usr/share/menu/jampal:3 W: jampal: extra-license-file usr/share/jampal/COPYING W: jampal source: out-of-date-standards-version 3.8.4.0 [1] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq#What_is_the_difference_between_a_native_Debian_package_and_a_non-native_package.3F [2] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-dpkgchangelog [3] http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ [4] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-binary.html#s-descriptions [5] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-debianwatch / uscan(1) [6] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-embeddedfiles - -- with kind regards, Arno Töll GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJNzxgkAAoJEMcrUe6dgPNtS8AQAM8axE7xcSsyrkkl6U1WqRz6 4Hn4sTtvnbSSRwMc9FIL8MCVaCcBb8MS6eduT281hBU0SUp7nmBLQZTebukTJfV0 7wD/B1P6Nd0VhKWgApkz4iWNMPyPBreaCU8svTA7LqptQtOeVQBde7RcREJ2aoI6 5+IUBCVjMjzzuHJ/tlhX/V9DhMiqx3HeCrcZA7pvUXoLXfb/UxTwpvDxHsoo2lJY LNzpS+73atK2HSA5KsP7TscqwmNgPkSdV8JvX1z5CTlRzxjmfNa7tzdudv3XxWFk +HazCFZOTt8/MJrJk9RbOOumGRUe88GBynHrdGLYwieNOnU6njQyhtPJxMHuRDeZ MeYmcD3pkxhlIId0Ga8qAU06A5AvVEPrH3uyspMfrzWf0c6kW1YE0qRRlMiDzs/S mZMKuGAevFqWBGgmngX43AEQhm+ylSGJyUas1rgkVAxHrghqLQsslKwQYkEpBnCa H1xWyroU9RAgF0ef7DW6DBsOY1ZWqgzPUm1x6u2DP5Es24r4gaqqBWIdzlv3OEGM +xZIy0Zcz+N18eOzmSwQlP69b3L8hqF8+QdMFnU/CCtPp+1w+UukJRUtL27Udr5q OM42W4DJc1E7WBE6MI5y2zBzPnblFIdPIMWW9Vfj8OHHKrFOcbGEIqB8fOJZbVKe u26/gdnygBT/2A12VoV7 =OVUr -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
