The first paragraph of the long description should be more informative to potential users. 1) I also don't like calling open source software "official" or "unofficial." It just is what it is. If it is just checking for library compatibilities, then you actually are playing the "official" (proprietary) game anyways. 2) Whether it is java-based or not doesn't really matter for someone installing the package (unless there is a non-java alternative, perhaps). 3) The mechanisms of checking for OpenGL working with Java7 doesn't really matter to someone wanting to play the game/ If the code is DFSG, but requires non-free content to be useful, it is at best contrib. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Just be aware of the problems with litecoin and bitcoin in the archive, namely that upstream developers for those projects have concerns over how Debian does stable releases. Network fixes can't be released/patched and users end up with broken and potentially network damaging nodes. Both litecoin and bitcoin cannot propagate to testing because of those issues. I do not know about dogecoin's development, but if there are similar concerns you should look into filing an RC bug against dogecoin to prevent it from migrating to testing. Also, there is a bitcoin packaging team (Debian Bitcoin Packaging Team ), you can maintain it under that umbrella if you'd like so that others can help sponsor/bug fix/update if you'd like them too.

Bug#736123: ITP: sbbi-upnplib -- Java library for universal plug and play (upnp)
Hi all, The binary package is named libupnp-java, seen here: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/sbbi-upnplib.git;a=blob;f=debian/control;h=8014fb5b4d2c3eb60968caaa6c239562002dd9f7;hb=HEAD I named the source package to match the name of the upstream tarball file (sbbi-upnplib-1.0.4.tar.gz) I struggled with either naming the source package the same as the binary package, or to name it like I suggest here. Since upstream refers to the project as sbbi-upnplib and their tarball had that in it, I'm leaning toward keeping the name what they call it. It will be discoverable since the binary package has the proper java library package name. I was worried about it not being discoverable if I didn't put the sbbi-upnplib source package name. Given that, do you still think it should be renamed? I don't mind either way. ~Scott On Sun, Jan 19, 2014 at 8:50 PM, Jonathan Yu wrote: > Hey Scott, > > I don't presume to be an expert here, but I wanted to mention that the > package name specified in your ITP does not match the usual > conventions for libraries in Debian, nor for Java libraries > specifically: > > "Java libraries packages must be named libXXX[version]-java (without > the brackets)" [0] > > Might you consider renaming this package to make it more easily discoverable? > > Cheers, > > Jonathan > > [0] http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/x104.html > > On Sun, Jan 19, 2014 at 5:33 PM, Scott Howard wrote: >> Package: wnpp >> Severity: wishlist >> Owner: Scott Howard >> >> * Package name: sbbi-upnplib >> Version : 1.0.4 >> Upstream Author : SuperBonBon Industries >> * URL : http://sourceforge.net/p/triplea/code/HEAD/tree/upnp/ >> * License : Apache-1.1 >> Programming Lang: Java >> Description : Java library for universal plug and play (upnp) >> >> This is a dependency of the newest versions of the triplea package.

I only have the vanilla version. Originally, users either installed the game via wine and then pointed openmw to the content or they used unshiled [1]. Recently, openmw's launcher has added the capability to run the unshield scripts from the launcher with the click of a button, making it much easier for users to install content. I don't know what is needed for gdp - but if that could help manage content files, that would be great.

Static is not taboo and can be included in -dev packages. Depending
maintainers, however, are strongly encouraged against using your
static package since it increases the burden of security and
maintenance. I think that you really should include .so to be useful
though.

Oh, well that helps - if the soversion is bumped every time then you
might be OK with upstream's build system as is (just enable shared
libraries).

FYI: check out OpenMW, they're making good progress and may make it
into Debian in the future.
Although the release team might not like the transitions, I bet they
prefer it to statically linked code throughout the archive. You can
talk with them ahead of time to find ways of responsibly managing
transitions.

Yes, if SONAME is bumped with every release, then that is acceptable
and borderline "sane" (sane in that it avoids breakage, however it
also will trigger a large number of transitions). I'm used to projects
that either never set the SONAME or screw up the ABI but not bump
SONAME. This is a different case, where the project is bumping the
SONAME frequently.

Yes - both would be ok (although the first case might not have the
0.0.0, it would just be libbulletcollision-2.81.so or the package name
would have to be libbulletcollision-2.81-0). That's all I wanted, was
to make sure the package name changes.
To get really confused, see the SDL packages
libsdl1.2debian0 -> libSDL-1.2.so.0.11.4 (Lintian says should be libsdl-1.2-0)
libsdl-1.3-0 -> libSDL-1.3.so.0.0.0
libsdl2-2.0-0 -> libSDL2-2.0.so.0.0.0

Yes, please talk with those that would build with it - their opinions

Bug#476284: bullet package name/numbering
Hello, late to the party but wanted to put in a comment regarding library package naming/versioning. Please ignore this if it has already been discussed and i missed it in the thread) If your library belongs to a package that doesn't believe in sane SONAME version numbering, but instead releases based on version numbers that have nothing to do with binary compatibility, it is sometimes best to use the -release LDFLAG: >From the autotools book (but you can adjust it for whatever build system you want) [1] %-snip-% `-release' On occasion, it is desirable to encode the release number of a library into its name. By specifying the release number with this option, libtool will build a library that does this, but will break binary compatibility for each change of the release number. By breaking binary compatibility this way, you negate the possibility of fixing bugs in installed programs by installing an updated shared library. You should probably be using `-version-info' instead. libshell_la_LDFLAGS = -release 27 The above fragment might create a library called `libshell-27.so.0.0.0' for example. %-snip-% So, perhaps, libbulletcollision2.81 should really be: libbulletcollision-2.81.so.0.0.0 and package name "libbulletcollission-2.81" not "libbulletcollision2.81" (note the dash and number is in the name, the version will be appended on to it. This will, however, force everything to be rebuilt whenever upstream releases a new version.

Bug#487388: helping with flightgear package in Debian
Hi Ove, I can help out with flightgear, I've been looking at it and did some initial work. Some of it, at the least, was an exercise for me in trying out some stuff I haven't done before. If you don't like it, I have no problem rolling it back. Most "invasive" is listed first 1) Moved the VCS to git rationale: The SVN repo has the entire upstream source included, we might as well be using git-buildpackage to check in the source and pristine-tar deltas (and thus tagging upstream releases) makes rebuilding of any .orig.tar.gz of any release easy. Many Debian SVN repos have been moving in this direction, I think it is a good way to go. I kept SVN's history and imported the tags. http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/flightgear.git I can put it in pkg-fgfs if you'd like, I'll have to join the team first. Having it in collab-maint also makes it easier for others to commit if you'd like to keep it there too. 2) Simplified debian rules to short dh style. In order to future-proof building and make rules more readable, I cleaned the packaging up. 3) Lots of lintian cleaning, removed 20+ warnings, about 10 still remain. Most were fixed by switching to dh rules. In the process of hardening the binaries I bumped the debian/compat to 9. There still is more lintian cleaning to go. TODO: get-orig-source target. Somehow the upstream tarball is screwed up (lots of warnings when building the package) and there is no definitive way of grabbing upstream source. the watch file is working, so use uscan to download current version and rename/repack at least. new upstream source: will fix the security bug Let me know if this is helpful or if any of these are out-of-bounds. I'd like to keep working in this direction and possible update simgear and fgfs-base similarly. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#694990: RFA: sandboxgamemaker -- 3D game maker and 3D game design program
Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request an adopter for the sandboxgamemaker package. Good and useful package, however I'm busy with other packages/job and interest has waned. This is a contrib package and licensing is difficult: upstream insists on using a custom license with is kind of confusing, but then releases the engine under a generous ZLIB license. The content is mostly free and they have put a strong effort into making it DFSG, but the attribution and license of some of the content is unclear. Some content requests that the author is notified when used, not be used for commercial purposes, or other restrictions that makes it unfree. However, upstream has been trying to work out all those issues. For now we distribute the ZLIB engine and have a downloader to grab content. The package description is: Platinum Arts Sandbox is an open source, easy-to-use, standalone 3D game maker and 3D game design program. It is currently based on the Cube 2 engine used in schools around the world that allows kids and adults to create their own video games, worlds, levels, adventures, and quests, even cooperatively. The goal is to make it accessible to kids but also powerful enough for full game projects. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Great. It doesn't matter too much to me if you make them UNRELEASED or just a single entry. If I was doing it, I probably would just put it as a single entry "Initial release (Closes: #583476)", but you're maintainer so you're free to do it how you see fit for the package.

Thanks for your work, Chrysn - you'd done a lot with this package. I can sponsor it but have some questions: CGAL is in main now, does that mean your package can be also? tests 168-379 fail - is that something to be concerned about? The changelog has lots of entries in it that says it has been released to unstable and experimental already, but I can't find it in the repos. Is this a new package or reviving of an old one? If it is a new one that has never been in unstable, you should get rid of the changelog entries saying that it was. You also should close this ITP bug in the changelog.

Since the split, we've been maintaining arduino-mk as patches in the arduino package.

Bug#605914: Update on the future of qcad (a popular CAD package) in Debian
The Debian Qt/KDE team is planning to remove the KDE3 and Qt3 libraries from Debian shortly after the Squeeze release. The transition phase to KDE4 and Qt4 will finish since both KDE and Nokia upstream don't maintain the old versions of those libraries anymore. In order to make this move, all packages directly or indirectly depending on the KDE3/Qt3 libraries have to either get ported to KDE4/Qt4 or eventually get removed from the Debian repositories [1] The GPLed release of qcad has only be available for qt3, and the developers have withheld releasing the qt4 version under a free license for several years (they are keeping it closed/commercial code). In fact, upstream has not had the resources to review and maintain community patches even for the qt3 version. Another project, "qcadfree" [2], has incorporated community patches and is actually what Debian has been using as "qcad" since Nov, 2009. That project has stalled and does not appear to be porting to qt4. If no qt4 qcad is released, qcad will be removed from Debian. Recently, a new project started that ported the qcadfree project to qt4 using qt3support libraries. http://www.librecad.org/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/librecad/ Since this project is continuing the lineage that Debian has followed, I am preparing a package for Debian. ITP [3] and git repos are up [4], as is a PPA [5] for testing by Ubuntu users. It is still in beta but have made good progress, and they have accepted all Debian patches to qcad into their project. Additionally, the author intends to add CAM support to interface with Mechmates [6] and such. I encourage debian-science users to help with testing so that we have a viable qcad replacement when it is removed in a few months. At that point qcad will probably become a transitional packaging depending on librecad, barring any objections. There is also a KDE4 port that is semi-active if someone is interested in it: http://kad.tuxfamily.org/ http://git.tuxfamily.org/kad/kad?p=gitroot/kad/kad.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/kde4 Cheers, Scott [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604595 [2] http://sites.google.com/site/qcadfree/ [3] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=605914 [4] http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-science/packages/librecad.git [5] https://launchpad.net/~showard314/+archive/librecad [6] http://www.mechmate.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The debian package will have the ~, just upstream calls it 1.0.0beta4 without the space. The build system is really simple, you can use: %: dh $@ since a simple qmake && make will build everything you need. Almost all the packaging for qcad will work for librecad, so this should be pretty simple. Since we're in freeze, I was planning on making an Ubuntu PPA for some user testing while we wait for it to end up in Debian.

Bug#605914: ITP: librecad -- 2D CAD program (qt4 port of QCad)
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Scott Howard * Package name: librecad Version : 1.0.0beta4 (won't propagate to testing until it's out of beta) Upstream Author : Ries van Twisk * URL : http://www.caduntu.org/ * License : GPL-2 Programming Lang: C++ Description : 2D CAD program (qt4 port of QCad) I'm the maintainer of QCad, a popular CAD program on Debian. QCad is a GPL program released by a commercial company, which has not ported to qt4. After squeeze, Debian will drop the qt3 libraries, so QCad will be removed. The librecad project is a qt4 port of QCad using qt3compat libraries. My plan is to maintain it under debian-sceince (as is qcad). One note: the project is changeing names from caduntu to librecad, so the package will be named librecad. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#588854: debian science maintenance
Hi Marinos, Ruben said he's willing to co-maintain this package with debian-science, and we're in the process of just moving it over with him. You're more than welcome to join the maintenance of this package as well. We set up a VCS for the package: http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-science/packages/qcad.git Please check it out and any pending bug reports to see if you can make things better. Ruben informed me of some pending issues: The package is a qt3 package, and the main upstream (ribbonsoft) isn't going to release a qt4 package in the short term. We got our upstream package from a fork. Jani Frilander, http://sites.google.com/site/qcadfree/. We can check up with him and see if he's worked on the qt4 port any more. Until a new version is released, we'll be patching what we can and replying to/fixing bugs. ~Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#506513: ITA: eagle -- Printed circuit board design tool
Hi Shaun, This is Scott Howard, I just submitted an update to fix bug #521746 in Eagle. I saw this has been changed from RFA to ITA a couple months ago, but no one adopted it. I'm checking to see if it is still up for adoption. I'm interested in adopting it. Also, I was curious as to the fix for: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=546237 Why does copying the file to the user's home directory fix the crash? I was unable to replicate the bug with a clean installation of the package, and we're trying to decide in Ubuntu if we should be doing a stable release update to fix the bug, but don't exactly understand why it fixes a crash for some people: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eagle/+bug/475891 Regards, Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#551000: ITP: sandbox -- Collaborative 3D game editor for education
Update and info: m.d.n: http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=sandboxgamemaker http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/non-free/s/sandboxgamemaker/sandboxgamemaker_2.4-2.dsc Ubuntu Karmic PPA: https://launchpad.net/~showard314/+archive/ppa bzr branch for packaging (I have an alioth account but I haven't been added to the games team): https://code.launchpad.net/~showard314/sandboxgamemaker-debian/trunk - I'm a GNOME developer (gnome-power-manager) and member of the Ubuntu MOTU science team. I want to get involved with Debian maintenance, and this is my first totally new package. Although this is a new package, I'm actually more interested in maintaining existing ones than adding new ones and have done some new version upgrades through debdiffs and bug reports. - I received an email about this program (Sandbox Game Maker), and found the whole project intriguing. Upstream really wants an official linux package for this so I helped them by making it. This was attempted once before (sandbox-lite), but it never got uploaded. Sandbox-lite was entirely DFSG, but I think upstream stopped developing it since users were mostly contributing non-free content and the Debian packager didn't finish. I contacted the debian packager of sandbox-lite and asked if she'd want either my help to finish hers or her help on mine, but she declined either - so I started from scratch using the most recent Sandbox release, which is non-free (see below). - This builds two binaries: an architecture dependent game engine, and architecture independent content and game data. The engine depends on the data. - Licenses: The original game engine, networking library, and "movie" engine are all DFSG. The modifications on the game engine are not DFSG as of now. The upstream authors wrote their own custom license which doesn't do what they want it to do, so I'm actually working with them to make their whole project GPLv3 so that the content generated from their project will also be GPLv3. However, right not, this release is non-free. The content is created by users (models, etc), and is a combination of non-free (CC-BY-SA-NC) and free. I tried to remove all non-free content, but the game is pretty much unplayable with out it. I think the long term plan would be to make the game engine free (GPLv3) in contrib, and the content in non-free. - Static linked library: This package includes the enet library, and compiles and statically links it. This is because they use enet from SVN; what we have in debian isn't new enough. Later versions of sandboxgamemaker in Debian can use the shared library for security reasons once enet releases the version in their SVN and we get that in Debian. - Patches: a) their makefile had a typo which I corrected and they have included that change upstream. This typo affects the clean target, so I have to patch the Makefile to clean and then unpatch it. b) I changed the install location to the proper one in Debian. c) The enet library uses autotools to create a configure file, but the Makefile for sandboxgamemaker does not recreate the configure file when you build (you are stuck with their "old" configure file).I patched their makefile to create a new configure file during build, and to clean up all that extra stuff during clean. (Thanks to lintian for pointing that out!) - my get-orig-source target downloads their zip file, deletes windows binaries and .dlls, and cleans up the makefile/autotools problem I described above. - watch file: they don't actually have an easy way of finding their downloads. They post releases on a blog, but the blog doesn't actually link to the download but to a PHP script that has a code number in it which is then converted to a download file. They do this because they have a counter running to have a feel about how many people download their program. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
