No, that's just informational.

Part of the work as maintainer and especially when doing an ITP is to
verify the code is indeed DFSG-free. Personally, I'd have trouble with
ambiguity in the form of "Well, I can't really be certain if the
software is licensed as GPL, LGPL or public domain but since all those
are DFSG-free it should be OK". One should clarify what the license is
and release the ITP only afterwards.

Publishing something without claiming copyright automatically makes it
public domain. So, unless Person A publishes file X with a copyright
notice and person B republishes it, stripping the copyright notice,
those files do not usually have copyright. It's OK to assume that files
for which we cannot find a copyright claim to be copyright-free (until
we are made aware of the contrary, that is).

That's what I read during my research about dh-autoreconf (not
autoreconf). It's entirely possible that I am mistaken. As I said, my
changes were untested. Does the package still compile?
By the way, why do you remove the autogenerated files in the first place
when upstream apparently is keen to ship them and it creates a "problem"
for you in having to recreate them? This is usually only necessary if
those autogenerated files are old and do not support newer platforms.
That's when you need to autoreconf. Otherwise, it's unnecessary but it
does have the benefit of future-proofing the package somewhat.

Not sure if this is even wrong. It just struck me as odd.
I have not compiled your package yet. You could strip the additional
packages from Depends, build the package and inspect the resulting deb
file with "dpkg --info $path-to-deb-file" and if the dropped
dependencies are still listed then listing them explicitly in
debian/control wasn't necessary. If they are no longer there, I'd
install the package, run the binary and unless I run into problems I'd
assume the dependencies weren't actually really necessary.
You can read more about ${misc:Depends} and ${shlibs:Depends} in "man 7
debhelper" under the heading "Automatic generation of miscellaneous
dependencies."

The only other option is to create a separate dfsg-free upstream tarball and strip the relevant files from that tarball. In your case, of course, you might also use your upstream powers and consider to drop the file upstream depending on whether or not it should be shipped in upstream releases.

Whatever you think makes most sense. Your style looks absolutely fine
to me.

No. The software has whatever license it has. We are just documenting
what that is. While doing this due diligence we might actually find out
that the license as stated is not what the author intended (a license
bug if that's how you want to look at it). Debian is doing this to
guarantee to its users that all software complies with DFSG and thus the
users do not have to do this work. Again, there really is no way around
this.
I am not sure that debian/copyright is currently complete, yet.
"licensecheck -r" lists quite a few files under LGPL license for example
and "rgrep -i copyright ." gives a lot more names than currently
documented. There's still work to be done here.
> We could drop the file, we just would have to run intltoolize before

It is already being done in line 18 of the current debian/rules file via
"--with autoreconf". So, at least for Debian it seems that file (and
possibly others) is not necessary and will be replaced during the build
anyhow.
dh-autoreconf is a superset of autotools-dev and thus I pushed an
untested fix to the rl-wip branch on github. Feel free to cherry-pick
after verification.
The Depends and Build-Depends lines look surprisingly long. Why do you
have so many explicit runtime dependencies in Depends? Isn't this
picked up automatically by ${misc:Depends} and ${shlibs:Depends}? If
necessary this can be fixed later, but it struck me as odd when I
stumbled upon it now.
Thanks again for your work.

Rolf

I see you pushed changes to github so I will focus my review on what's up there, assuming it is identical to what's on mentors.debian.net I've not looked at mentors. 60fd5fd4c It's a trivial fix, but if upstream has that spelling error I think it would be better to keep it. Where do you draw the line? Who knows, there might be some kind of intended meaning that you and I missed? In that part of our work, we are just documenting, not correcting IMO. 08dc66295a I'm not sure if changing "The entire Linux community" to "Team audio recorder" is sufficient. I'm not sure such an entity exists and it's basically equally opaque. If it's not specific enough to understand who to contact in case you'd like to ask for a relicensing of the code then it's not specific enough for Debian. Let's say you'd like to develop a closed-source variety of audio-recorder, who would you need to ask for permission? Besides, as I already mentioned previously, my feeling is that nobody but Osmo Antero has copyright. There are two conditions that need to be met for this NOT to be true; 1) significant contributions from third parties and 2) those parties requested for copyright when making those contributions. 2) is not documented in the files and it should be IF there was a third-party copyright. I understand that Osmo enjoys drinking his vine and keep things simple. But he is making things unnecessarily complicated here by adding an opaque group of people to the copyright holders. I believe that what he wants to do is acknowledge outside contributions. That's what the AUTHORS file is for which is actually present but does not list anybody besides him. It's fine for him to make a broad statement there such as "a multitude of patches were gladly received by a number of people from the Linux community. If you'd like to see your name here specifically contact me at XYZ". Copyright is about who owns the ultimate rights to the source. GPL extends quite a few of those rights to the users (such as the right to modify, redistribute, etc.) What Osmo is doing (and I'm absolutely certain that is unintentional) is to give basically everyone who can somehow claim to be part of the Linux community to fully OWN the code and that includes the right to relicense it, for example. This would effectively make the source public domain and strip it of the protections the GPL provides (such as disallowing redistribution as a closed-source binary program). I am sure Osmo did not intend to release as public domain. This absolutely needs clarification, no way around that. My suggestion is to simply drop the erroneous and very dangerous line giving the Linux community or Team Audiorecorder the copyright. All users already have very broad rights protected under the GPL. Adding that line actually puts those rights in jeopardy. dfe98839e3 adds Ian Holmes as copyright holder for src/gst-recorder.c. If there are any other other copyright holders then that's the way we should handle copyright attribution for them as well, unless they have copyright in a broad number of files. 329aa8ce287 "Other" is not a good name for License. I suggest to follow https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/g/granule/copyright-1.4.0-7-4 or https://github.com/giuliopaci/SPro/blob/master/debian/copyright which I found doing a quick Google search. https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2015/01/msg00054.html says there is a later version of the file with a better worded license term. If that's the case it would be advisable for upstream to exchange the current for the later version. If upstream doesn't do this, we can also do it in Debian only. If the file is not necessary to build the binary, we might want to simply drop it via debian/clean. This question needs more consideration. > Mainly it is an update of the debian/copyright file. But while I edited > it, I found a lot of auto-generated files in the source tarball. So I > deleted them via dquilt patch. I hope this is the right way to handle > such files. Are they giving any problems during the build? If no, then I'd say not to bother with them at all. If yes and they aren't removed by "dh clean" already then the file debian/clean is the proper place. Have a look at "man dh_clean". Simply put, you can list file names one per line in debian/clean to be removed as one of the first steps during the build. Wildcards are allowed, RegExp might be. This is better than using patches because deleting a 1MB file it takes a patch that's slightly bigger than 1MB. It's easier to read during code inspection as well. Regards Rolf

While it does make sense to ask upstream to stop shipping a debian directory, DebSrc3.0 which I believe is by now the default will overwrite any directory if you want that. The debian directory is always overridden (c.f. https://wiki.debian.org/Projects/DebSrc3.0#Advantages_of_new_formats).

Joachim, thank you for picking this up. The package is up for adoption so essentially you are free to do as you please. Thanks for asking. You might want to consider to do as I did which was to upload a separate new package that built and for the sake of higher version took over one of the binary packages of the old isdnutils source package.

It polls the scanner buttons looking for buttons pressed or function knob changes or other scanner events as paper inserts / removals and at the same time allows also scan-applications to access the scanners. If buttons are pressed, etc., various actions can be submitted (scan, copy, email, ...) via action scripts. The function knob values are passed to the action-scripts as well. Scan actions are also signaled via dbus. This can be useful for foreign applications. Scans can also be triggered via dbus from foreign applications. On platforms which support signaling of dynamic device insertion / removal (libudev, dbus, hal) scanbd supports this as well. scanbd can use all sane-backends or some special backends from the (old) scanbuttond project.

Bug#661106: RFH: scim -- smart common input method platform
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request assistance with maintaining the scim package. scim comprises software to input complex characters in non-latin languages such as Chinese Hanzi, Japanese Kanji or Korean Hangul and others. It enjoys widespread and growing use. scim is scheduled to be eventually obsoleted by ibus. scim still has five times the user base and that base in Debian is actually still growing faster than that of ibus. Developer interest in scim has mostly faded away both in Debian and upstream. My goal as maintainer is to keep the package usable for the benefits of its users. That means making sure the package is free of RC bugs, adheres to policy and submitted patches are eventually integrated. It does not include original development and repeated calls for it in the past were simply misguided. My co-maintainer requested to step down and I thank him for his support in the past. Because of my limited time and skills I prefer to maintain most of my packages in a team of at least two and thus would call for an interested individual to step forward to fill the gap. Any area that you can help would be appreciated and I would also be willing to do some limited mentorship for someone getting their feet wet in packaging software. I understand packaging reasonably well but I'm not a good coder, somebody with complimentary skillset would be the perfect match. The packaging work is published in http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/scim.git The package description is: Smart Common Input Method (SCIM) is an input method (IM) platform. Input methods are needed to enter complex characters in many non-latin languages. SCIM provides a common platform for various plugin modules and independent IM programs, as well as a set of modules and programs on its own. It is highly modularized and exposes abstract interfaces, so that plugin modules with different functions can easily communicate with each other. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#661110: RFH: isdnutils -- ISDN utilities
Package: wnpp Severity: normal (I hope reportbug will actually do the right thing, despite incorrectly claiming that isdnutils package did not exist) I am requesting assistance to maintain isdnutils in Debian. The main use case would be faxing, I assume. That's what I use the package for. But others may still use it for dialing in to the internet or telephony applications. The user base is still sizeable even after years of neglect. The package is still fairly ugly, there's still lots of work needed to be done. I'm slowly moving ahead. I do have a co-maintainer who is active in upstream work as well. But his time is very limited. Upstream has recently sprung back into life, let's hope for the best. Ideally, I'm looking for someone who can help me with code-related questions. I'd be willing to share what I know about packaging if you're new to that. The packaging is published at http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/isdnutils.git If you want to push your changes, that would be very welcome, but please use a branch first. Thank you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#572734: O: gourmet -- A gtk-based recipe organizer and shopping list generator
Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hi, I brought gourmet into Debian and intended to maintain it properly. Interaction with upstream was more cumbersome than what I would like and as such my motivation dropped. I really don't like duplicate work, but my attempts to convince upstream to focus on programming instead of creating confusion and inefficiencies by releasing improperly packaged *.deb files were futile. Debian has dropped behind the latest release in upstream. That was intentional, because at some point in time I was told, they'd prefer if packaging was done for the stable releases. But stable isn't seeing any work or bug fixes, all work goes into upstream unstable. I tried to accomodate upstream's wishes, but I think they are contradictory. Now that the package is in Debian, keeping it uptodate should not be too hard from a technical POV. If you know of a way to work around the issues mentioned or don't mind them, please consider adopting this package. Regards Rolf The package description is: Gourmet Recipe Manager is a gtk-based recipe organizer and shopping list generator intended for the GNOME desktop environment (though it does not need all the GNOME libraries). Gourmet can import Mealmaster(tm) files and can export recipes in a number of formats, including text, RTF and web pages. Gourmet also can calculate nutritional information for recipes. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#546946: [Fwd: O: isdnutils -- ISDN-related packages and utilities]
Paul, thank you for your response. I'd like to declare my intentions (and best intent) to take over maintenance of this package together with Jan-Michael Brummer and Björn Steveker. We'd be happy to have others on the maintenance team, in fact, we're still hoping for it. Paul Slootman wrote: development is moving towards mISDN and CAPI, both of which I know nothing about. mISDN is not available in Debian at all, yet, or is it? There's a very old and seemingly dead package in experimental, but that's about it. Looking at upstream CVS the project also looks a bit stalled. But it may be that I'm just not looking at the right place. I know I have much less expertise than you in this area, but I hope we can stitch together a team with enough time and skill to make sure this package just does not die before its time. As such, it would be really nice to have you onboard, even if you don't know how much you can contribute. I'm not sure I understand your point about CAPI correctly. In fact, the reason I got interested in this package is to have the work done by Jan-Michael for a new CAPI into Debian/Ubuntu. Maybe you can clarify the relation? I understand mISDN is a rewrite of hisax, what does it mean for Debian going into the future? Some work has started and is available for public consumption at http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/isdnutils.git;a=summary First step is to prepare a dfsg-tarball (see the dfsg branch for that) to deal with the recently reported license issues and also to get Jan-Michael's work included.
