Re: RFS: sfarklib/0.20131219gitee08d0c-1 [ITP]
Hi Ross and Felipe, Thanks for the quick response, and thanks for taking a look at the packages! I appreciate that Felipe may perhaps get some time one day to help us out (and hopefully give Ross some DM rights on the packages after that !) I have now done the improvements suggested by Ross: - Ran cme fix dpkg-control on both packages - Fixed description of libsfark-dev (there was a copy-and-paste error) - Added get-orig-source target on both packages The new versions have been uploaded to mentors and checked into the Vcs. It's probably useful if Ross takes a look at the packages once again to check that I haven't made some new mistakes before Felipe helps out with the upload. Having to wait a few weeks more before the upload is done, is no big issue, but it would be nice if Felipe informs us if he doesn't get time at all to do itl :) (Btw Ross: Congratulations a lot with your new DM status! :D) Best regards, Ruben 2014-12-05 17:31 GMT+01:00 Ruben Undheim ruben.undh...@gmail.com: Hi everyone in the multimedia team, This new package and its counterpart (sfarkxtc) have been laying around in the sponsorship-request queue approximately one month. Is there any DD in the team who now is eager to help with some sponsoring? The two packages are also available on mentors: http://mentors.debian.net/package/sfarklib http://mentors.debian.net/package/sfarkxtc We are two co-uploaders and the packages are team-maintained.

Re: RFS: sfarklib/0.20131219gitee08d0c-1 [ITP]
Hi Ross, This looks like a good little package (and its partner), and I would be happy to be a co-uploader within the Debian Multimedia Team. I am nearly a DM, but I cannot sponsor the package. Great! I will add you to the uploaders field. Unfortunately I fell at the first hurdle when taking a look at it. It seems you have made the package directly from the upstream git repository. This is okay, but I was not able to easily test build the package without an original tarball. So the reason for this is that the day before yesterday I changed the version names from 0.20131219gitee08d0c-1 to 2.23+20131219gitee08d0c-1 for sfarklib 0.20130812git80b1da3-1 to 0~20130812git80b1da3-1 for sfarkxtc I did it in a hurry and completely forgot to retag and rerun pristine-tar commit... Since then I've been without Internet connection. Now it should work again though. Sorry about this. Maybe it would be a good idea to build and upload to debian.mentors even if the eventual sponsor comes form within the debian-multimedia team? That makes it easy to to check for lintian errors without the reviewer having to build it themselves. It also means there is an *orig.tar for the reviewer :-) without having to create one. Yes, it is a good idea. My previous experience has been that I ended up changing small details so many times and reuploading to mentors so many times that this time I wanted to wait until it becomes a bit more stable. Even though the package is from a git snapshot, you should still provide a d/watch file, so that all the automated tools can compare the current version with upstream releases (they have made some). I can add a watch file. Upstream has created some tags for sfarklib, but not for sfarkxtc. I've also been in contact with upstream asking if he wanted to create new real version numbers, but he is of the opinion that it's not necessary because the package is so small. When I tried to build with gbp and the --pristine-tar option, the build failed because the upstream tag is different to the entry in d/changelog. It should work now because of the reason explained above. Sorry It is a good idea to provide a gbp.conf file. The Debian Multimedia packaging wiki (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMultimedia/DevelopPackaging) recommends at least the default option of pristine-tar being True. I use pristine-tar = True in my gbp.conf on my computer. I see now that it is possible to put a file in debian/ also. I didn't know about that option - only the .git/gbp.conf option and the ~/.gbp.conf. Thanks. Will fix.

Hi, Is there anyone who would like to sponsor this package? Thanks a lot in advance.

Membership request Debian Multimedia team
Hi everyone, I would like to become a member of the Debian Multimedia team. First of all this has been triggered by my desire to package libsfark and sfarkxtc (used to extract sfArk soundfont files) as part of the correct team. I'm mainly interested in midi-related things. I've subscribed the relevant mailing lists for Debian Multimedia and I'm a member on alioth with the username rubund-guest. I'm previously maintaining several packages as part of the Debian Science team and I'm familiar with maintaining packages via git/pristine-tar etc. I'm not a developer so I will need sponsoring help whenever uploading something, but I've done this a few times before and the list of things to fix after reviews has decreased tremendously in length since my first package. Hopefully, my request will be accepted!

Re: Membership request Debian Multimedia team
Thanks a lot to you Felipe, I'm a bit surprised to have been given admin-permission to the project on alioth, but maybe this is standard procedure. Maybe I can ask here right now: Is there anyone who would like to be a co-maintainer on libsfark and sfarkxtc? (#768169 and #768173) They are very small packages, so I don't envision there will be much work.

Hopefully, my request will be accepted! Welcome! I have accepted your request. Note that in the team we usually require packages to have at least 2 maintainers in the team, so for each package you should check if anyone else is interested in the packages (the team focus is quite wide, so not all maintainers are interested in all packages...) -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
