Re: RFS: lives
Hello Harry I am looking for a sponsor for the package lives which I updated and removed lintian warnings and errors. This is not a non-maintainer upload as the upstream author Gabriel Finch salsa...@xs4all.nl has agreed to list me as an 'uploader' in debian/control. The original maintainer was Gürkan Sengün gur...@phys.ethz.ch. here's my current work: http://sid.ethz.ch/debian/lives/nyu/ I think the original maintainer Gürkan Sengün gur...@phys.ethz.ch is a Debian Developer as although I can't find him using db.debian.org, a random one of his packages I chose ttf-jura has been uploaded to the repository, but I can't find an RFS for it, only an ITP. Gürkan, if you want to upload lives that's great, but if not don't worry. i'm sorry i'm not a debian developer, but nyu is interested sponsoring the package (i've cc'd him): Robert Millan r...@debian.org. The package requires libweed0, which is available from debian-multimedia.org (http://www.debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/l/lives/). However, only binary packages exist. Does this need to be uploaded before lives can (a source package would have to be made)? yes you should package libweed first into debian, otherwise lives can not go into main. only packages that work independently inside main, can be main. Also, would a postinst script that downloaded and installed libweed0 be acceptable? If not, is it unacceptable to add an override to suppress lintian warning about symlinks to shared libraries in the main packages? no you can't do that for main packages. thanks for your work, guerkan * Package name: lives Version : 1.0.0-1 Upstream Author : Gabriel Finch salsa...@xs4all.nl * URL : http://lives.sourceforge.net/ * License : GNU GPLv3 Section : graphics It builds these binary packages: lives - Linux Video Editing System The package appears to be lintian clean (without pedantic).

A few comments, in decreasing severity order: - You are creating a group lshellg in postinst using groupadd, without checking the group existance, this would fail on reinstall, or upgrade, so, you to check the existance of the group, you should use addgroup instead of groupadd, the group should be called lshell, and it must be a system group (--system in addgroup). Or you can decide to use adm or nogroup. This has been corrected. - The tar.gz provided is not the same file that upstream distributes (you had probably recreated the tar.gz) This has been corrected. - The license states GPL 2 or any later version, the copyright file refers the user to the GPL-3 license, while this can hardly be a problem, it might be better to point the user to the GPL license lshell is distributed under GPL v3 or any later version. I have modified the debian/copyright file to mention the 3rd version of the GPL. - I personally don't like using cdbs, I suggest you to also learn to package using debhelper, as well The debian/rules file has been modified to use debhelper without cdbs.

Understood. I've uploaded the new package as 0.9-1 [1]

Or you can decide to use adm or nogroup. This has been corrected. There a few ways to check if a group exists, calling sg group_name true is a creative one, I not against the solution, but using getent group group_name is probably a more traditional approach used in a few other packages, in general, it's good to accept the de facto standard. The debian/rules file has been modified to use debhelper without cdbs. Great, I appreciate the effort, I didn't mean do it right away, though. Extra comments: - control claims Build-Dependency of debhelper = 7, but compat says 5, one or the other is wrong, please fix it. - manpage: - Refers to group lshellg instead of lshell - Doesn't mention the default config file (/etc/lshell.conf) - ¿Why is there a section called TODO? - It would be great if you document how to use lshell inside a chroot, maybe even using makejail. -- La duración de un minuto depende de que lado del baño estés. -- Ley de la Relatividad (Burke) Saludos /\/\ /\ `/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
