Everything is much easier to maintain and build in a single package. Moreover, actually separating the now-merged upstream packaging is going to be a challenge---and probably will introduce weird bugs. If, for some reason, this must be separated, I think we should consider automatically building these binaries on the user's machine, like say libdvd-pkg, before we consider splitting splitting the packaging: It would be unacceptable to allow a bug in a filesystem driver to be introduced to work around a licensing issue. I'll formulate the question carefully, and submit it to debian-legal. I will say that the CDDL specifically allows for inclusion in a "Larger Work", and similarly, GPL says that "mere aggregation" is insufficient to have the license apply to the rest of it. What *will* be important is making sure that each source file license is properly tracked in copyright---so as to ensure each distributed non-source file be subject to at most one of the two licenses. As for the section: I imagine it would stay in contrib---for the same reasons it was originally placed there. > - which distros do we want to support upstream? Debian Stretch+, Ubuntu > Xenial/Bionic/Cosmic? just the latest ones? I only have experience with Debian. The Ubuntu packaging looks very different---in particular, they look like they build the module with the kernel (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZFS). I don't see any reason to try to support that. > - compat 10 or 11? Stretch only has 10 without backports..

Cleaned up as suggested.

This sounds reasonable. I was only ever targeting this script at upstream git snapshots. My use case is a script that just checks out and builds the next git version, making it available for use. > - debian/update-git: it would be cool to pre-populate the changelog with > a shortlog since the previous version (if the previous version matches > either the git-describe or release tag versioning scheme, > alternatively we could just encode the git commit in the changelog > like "gbp dch --snapshot" does?) > git-shortlog should be able to do this relatively easily.

Bug#902154: ITP: fonts-woowa-bm -- Baedal-Minjok decorative Korean fonts
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Changwoo Ryu * Package name: fonts-woowa-bm Version : 2017.10.09 Upstream Author : Woowa Brothers Corp * URL : http://woowahan.com/#/fonts * License : SIL OFL 1.1 Description : Baedal-Minjok decorative Korean fonts Baedal-Minjok fonts are decorative Korean font families. They are intentionally designed to look old-styled. They are designed designed for Baedal-Minjok food delivery service. . This package includes 5 font families; BMDOHYEON, BMHANNA_11yrs, BMJUA, BMKIRANGHAERANG and BMYEONSUNG. - It replaces fonts-woowa-hanna package from the same upstream. It includes its upgraded version in different name and 4 other font families. - Unfortunately, the upstream didn't set versions or update dates on their fonts. So I have no choice but to use their release announce date as the version.

Debian Stretch+, Ubuntu Xenial/Bionic/Cosmic? just the latest ones? - compat 10 or 11? Stretch only has 10 without backports.. debian/rules: - chmod a-x files should be on separate lines, otherwise git blame is stupid ;) - same for copied/installed scripts that need to be listed explicitly (DKMS) - the dmks.mkconf call does not belong into dh_auto_install (semantically). does it need to be there or can we move it to dh_auto_configure or dh_auto_build ? why not keep it in override_dh_dkms? - same for the "make dist" call, which should probably be run before the build to prevent mistakes in "make dist" from tainting DKMS sources with build products? - debian/git-version.sh could benefit from some comments/rationale ;) - debian/git-version.sh does not handle actual release tags correctly (the resulting package version is a native one) - debian/git-version.sh should probably somehow handle adding a pkgrelease suffix as well? maybe as optional, second parameter (defaulting to 1), and in case it is ommitted but d/changelog contains the same version with -1, bump it to -2? - debian/update-git: it would be cool to pre-populate the changelog with a shortlog since the previous version (if the previous version matches either the git-describe or release tag versioning scheme, alternatively we could just encode the git commit in the changelog like "gbp dch --snapshot" does?) I'll do some test builds and check the resulting packages later on - thanks for getting the ball rolling!
