clxclient override disparity
There are disparities between your recently accepted upload and the override file for the following file(s): libclxclient-dev_3.6.1-2_i386.deb: package says section is libdevel, override says devel. libclxclient-dev_3.6.1-2_i386.deb: package says priority is optional, override says extra. libclxclient3_3.6.1-2_i386.deb: package says priority is optional, override says extra. Please note that a list of new sections were recently added to the archive: cli-mono, database, debug, fonts, gnu-r, gnustep, haskell, httpd, java, kernel, lisp, localization, ocaml, php, ruby, vcs, video, xfce, zope. At this time a script was used to reclassify packages into these sections. If this is the case, please only reply to this email if the new section is inappropriate, otherwise please update your package at the next upload. Either the package or the override file is incorrect. If you think the override is correct and the package wrong please fix the package so that this disparity is fixed in the next upload. If you feel the override is incorrect then please file a bug against ftp.debian.org and explain why.

I must confess that my computers are running Ubuntu Lucid ! I guess I could use git-pbuilder with DIST=sid. I am shopping for a nice virtualization tool to create a sid environment... The problem is that python-autotools.mk is not provided by cdbs on Ubuntu Lucid right now. Maybe I could compile and install it from the sources? When packaging for Debian, you really should be using Debian unstable, as that is the environment that your packaging is aimed at. No, I do not recommend that you backport the specific pieces needed to satisfy build-dependencies, as you then do not know if you are triggering some strange hidden bug in your particular combination of packages from then different sources! Ubuntu Lucid is tested against Ubuntu Lucid, and Debian Sid is tested against Debian Sid. Feel free to mix'n'match all you like SOMEWHERE ELSE, but make sure to use a standard system for building packages! You might be interested in the scripts that I personally use to bootstrap build environments. I use same routines also for backporting, and would expect it to work just as well on Ubuntu.

What I do is maintain packaging licensing in debian/rules. And I (ideally, when not too lazy) do not add licensing info of others but instead request them to add it themselves. ;-) Actually, git-buildpackage doesn't work anymore with this. I removed it locally... I am missing some point on how to use pristine-tar. It needs the upstream tarball in the parent directory, or so... working on this. No, the whole point of pristine-tar is that the Git is fully self-contained: You need not put a tarball anywhere, git-buildpackage regenerates it as needed. What fails now for you is that you simply grabbed by gbp.conf file wich contained not only what you needed but also a hint to use bzip2 compressed tarballs. The tarball actually contained in the Git currently is a good old gzip-compressed one so is ignored when you tell git-buildpackage to instead use bzip2 :-P It does seem, however, from a quick glance, that some parts of the project is not arch-limited. It might be a good idea to split packaging to provide most possible to all archs. That would be nice, but it's probably going to be difficult. The jack-info, dc-ctl and midistream utilities could be packages separately, and should be useful for the multimedia-loving masses. Since scenic relies on milhouse, they could be packaged together. Again, I am a close-to-beginner in packaging, so I am not sure where to start, especially that the current build process is unified and using a single autotools configure.ac script. It would imply splitting it upstream, no? Packaging typically goes like this: 1.

No, the whole point of pristine-tar is that the Git is fully self-contained: You need not put a tarball anywhere, git-buildpackage regenerates it as needed. What fails now for you is that you simply grabbed by gbp.conf file wich contained not only what you needed but also a hint to use bzip2 compressed tarballs. The tarball actually contained in the Git currently is a good old gzip-compressed one so is ignored when you tell git-buildpackage to instead use bzip2 :-P I had just figured that out. :) It does seem, however, from a quick glance, that some parts of the project is not arch-limited.

Diego Biurrun marked it as non-free upstream, but I'd think Debian Legal should take a look at the license to make their own determination. Well, it's IMHO not non-free (as in not DFSG free) but it's definitely GPLv2 incompatible because of the restriction in the patent license (interesting here: if they didn't include a patent license nobody would've complained although they had no official rights to use the patents...). If your software is (L)GPLv2+ or v3 I guess everything is fine, if it's LGPLv2 it's probably fine too. But you're right, Debian Legal should probably look at it as well. I've already asked the ftp-masters to give their statement about the license and compatibility with other licenses but they didn't answer yet. FFmpeg states that it is available under (L)GPL2+. the debian FFmpeg package is distributed under *GPL2*. We do enable important parts (e.g., in libswscale) that are not enable in LGPL mode. GPL3 would make linking other GPL2 only packages problematic. In theory, I guess we could provide an additional LGPL only variant of ffmpeg in some special, non-standard path, but I'm not convinced at all that this will a) helping here and b) worth the trouble. Luckily Google has revised their license[1]. It seems this change has addressed all concerns of GPLv2 incompatibility. The license for libvpx is now a simple BSD and the patent grant is separate. It also clears up the confusion over whether or not the patient grant still holds up if the code is modified. It does. I would think this would be enough to include this in ffmpeg upstream and part of Debian main.

Re: Fwd: RFS: Scenic 0.6.0 - Telepresence software for live performances and installations
Hello! 2010/6/5 Alexandre Quessy alexan...@quessy.net: Hello again! I just thought about an issue that makes my package 33% unusable. :) The MIDI streaming feature (which would be provided by the new midistream package) relies on either python-portmidi or python-pygame = 1.9.1. Those two packages are not in Debian yet! Actually, python-pygame 1.9.1 is in Ubuntu Lucid, but not in Debian Sid. I have been trying to contact the maintainer, and later answered to a bug about this. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544347 ... Maybe it is too late before the the release of Squeeze? There might be quite a few packages that depend on python-pygame. I also have an other package - toonloop 1.2.8 - that needs python-pygame, for its V4L2 video input feature and the MIDI feature. For the MIDI feature, which is our main interest for scenic, an other package could provide it. It's python-portmidi. I packaged it, but did not contribute it yet, since the original author thought it would be nice to send it upstream, but it's taking time. It's not there yet: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/portmedia/browser/portmidi/trunk (4 months with no activity) My changes to the upstream along with my packaging files are at http://bitbucket.org/aalex/pyportmidi/wiki/Home So, either we ask the maintainers of the pygame package to update it, or we package python-portmidi. I think that merging the pyportmidi code with portmidi0 would take too much time and effort for now. (before Squeeze) Anyways, the python-portmidi should be a separate package from portmidi0, so ... should fill a ITP and package it now? :) Note that the scenic application can still run, it's only that the MIDI features will be disabled.
