Bug#928377: budgie-sntray-plugin: budgie plugin installs to the wrong location

[foss.freedom]

Package: budgie-sntray-plugin
Version: 0.4.11-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Installation of the package budgie-sntray-plugin does not display the
applet in budgie-desktop
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
What I had to-do was symlink the installed location to the expected
budgie location i.e.
cd /usr/lib/budgie-desktop/plugins; sudo ln -s
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/budgie-desktop/plugins/budgie-sntray-plugin
budgie-sntray-plugin

I also had to install the package vala-sntray-plugin because after
running the above budgie crashed due to a missing schema
that was found in this package
   * What was the outcome of this action?
After doing the above, the applet was found in budgie-desktop-settings
and could be added to the panel
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Without any of the above, just installing the package does not appear
in budgie rendering the capability as inoperable

I have also mentioned this and other issues upstream here:
https://gitlab.com/vala-panel-project/xfce4-sntray-plugin/issues/32

[foss.freedom]

Hi Herbert,

  many thanks for your advice.

I followed the instructions in uscan - imported the upstream
maintainers public key and then exported the minimal signing key.

I've rebuilt the package, confirmed that uscan downloads with the
minimal signing key and then built on buster.

Running linitian -i -I on the built changes file no longer reports the
wishlist public-upstream-key-not-minimal

Bug#913363: RFS: desktopfolder/1.0.10-1 [ITP]

[foss.freedom]

It has been about a month since the initial package was uploaded to
mentors.  Still hoping for some feedback please.

Yesterday I've tweaked the package to remove an unnecessary
build-dependency after discussing with upstream.

I note one new "Information" lintian issue now occurs since the
initial upload.  Probably due to a slight tweak to the current debian
policy?

public-upstream-key-not-minimal
upstream/signing-key.asc has 1 extra signature(s) for keyid 92DED901DA15CC0D

Is this something I can deal with (if so how?) - or should I ask
upstream to create a signing-key.asc  for me using "gpg --armor
--export --export-options export-minimal,export-clean keyid"

thanks in advance

Bug#911711: svgwrite FTBFS: tests fail

[foss.freedom]

Hi all,

  I have a dependent package "budgie-extras" that is also flagged for
removal in a little over 20+ days

Can I ask, is it the intention to let python-svgwrite to be autoremoved?

I need to know because I'll need to drop that part of the
functionality from budgie-extras which is dependent on svgwrite to
stop all of budgie-extras to be autoremoved as well.

thanks in advance

David

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "desktopfolder"

 * Package name: desktopfolder
   Version : 1.0.10-1
   Upstream Author : José Amuedo Salmerón joseamu...@gmail.com
 * URL : https://github.com/spheras/desktopfolder
 * License : GPL-3+
   Section : x11

  It builds those binary packages:

desktopfolder - Organize your desktop with panels, notes and photos

  To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/desktopfolder


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/desktopfolder/desktopfolder_1.0.10-1.dsc

  More information about desktopfolder can be obtained from
https://github.com/spheras/desktopfolder/blob/master/README.md

Notes:
I am the project lead of a Debian derivative called Ubuntu Budgie.  I
already maintain many Debian packages via my current Debian
Maintainers rights.

The reason for the request for this ITP is due to the current Nautilus
version in Debian.
We recognise that many budgie-desktop users expect a more traditional
desktop experience that includes the ability to place various files
and folders onto the desktop.  Budgie-Desktop had integrated with
Nautilus to provide that ability in the past.

But due to Nautilus 3.30 now in Buster, nautilus has removed the
desktop icons & folders support, Debian budgie users have had to use
strange workarounds such as running two File Managers - Nautilus and
Nemo where Nemo provides the desktop icons support.

This ITP provides an excellent alternative - a low memory usage
dedicated application that provides desktop icons & folders.

The application has been part of the ElementaryOS appcenter and
Elementary Pantheon.  I have been working with the maintainer to make
this application compatible with budgie-desktop.

As a project team Ubuntu Budgie have a direct interest in helping
support this application.  We now help the desktopfolder project to
provide translations for the project and we will be working with the
maintainer to provide additional capabilities in the future.

In terms of packaging I have worked with the maintainer to ensure
lintian issues such as code typos, mismatched copyright statements and
missing copyright statements on source files.  The maintainer has also
agreed to sign his tarballs which the package makes use of to provide
trust.

I have run check-all-the-things and helped resolve source matters in
consultation with the maintainer.

I have run lintian -i -I --pedantic on the built source.  One
Information lintian remains - missing autopkgtest.  I dont consider it
necessary for such a test to be defined.

I have built the debian/copyright via "cme update dpkg-copyright" and
manually checked that it has built the copyright file correctly.

The debian package contains one specific patch to revert two
ElementaryOS AppCenter specifics that doesn't make sense in the
context of Debian budgie-desktop.  This is explained in the dep3
header for the patch.  I have discussed this patch with the maintainer
and he is content with the approach.

If appropriate I would like to continue maintainership of this package
(assuming that it is acceptable to Debian) in a similar manner as my
current  packages (dak fossfree...@ubuntu.com)

[foss.freedom]

Hi Herbert,

  no I wasn't aware of that lintian - I ran lintian -i -I --pedantic
on my latest unstable but it didn't highlight that.  Odd.

However I have now corrected that in debian/rules.  I have taken also
the opportunity to refresh the source & build with the very latest
fixes made by the team made in the last month.

https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-extras/budgie-extras_0.4.2-1.dsc

The changelog has been adjusted slightly to reflect this
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS addition:

  * New upstream release
  * Packaging Changes:
- debian/control and debian/compat: update to v11
- debian/control: Bump Standards-Version - no changes required
- debian/control: new binary packages budgie-rotation-lock-applet,
  budgie-clockworks-applet,
  budgie-dropby-applet
- debian/copyright: 2018 year updates
- debian/rules remove ninja make rules since debhelper can deal
  with meson builds
- debian/rules check DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS for autotest
- remove not needed debian/files
- signing key; move and rename to debian/upstream


thanks

David

Bug#890723: RFS: slick-greeter/1.1.4-1

Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "slick-greeter"

 * Package name: slick-greeter
   Version : 1.1.4-1
  Upstream Author :  Clement Lefebvre 
 * URL : https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter/

check-all-the-things has been run on the source. This time around on
the latest debian unstable it found an issue with
debian/upstream/metadata and this was resolved (see the changelog)

lintian -i -I --pedantic run on the built source.  It is lintian free
with the exception of the
following information/pedantic issues;

testsuite-autopkgtest-missing - I don't believe a autopkgtest is
required for a greeter

no-upstream-changelog - upstream does not supply a changelog so I have
summarised the changes in the debian/changelog

debian-watch-does-not-check-gpg-signature - upstream do not sign their
release tarballs

built source compiles via pbuilder-dist on unstable - it has been
installed on unstable as well.

  Changes since the last upload:

* New upstream release
- Build correctly with vala > 0.39
- Latest translations
- Reset config keys if not in slick config file
- Add multimonitor support when used with docking stations
- Fix failure to connect to user-session components
- Slick config component file changes
  * Packaging Changes:
- Drop existing patches except for sans-schema-font.patch
- Add patch mint-master-unstable-19.patch
- debian/copyright 2018 year change and http --> https
- debian/{compat/control} debhelper v11
- debian/control Bump Standards-Version (no changes required)
- debian/upstream/metadata fix check-all-the-things warning
  for missing document-start
- debian/rules remove override to remove broken symlink since this

Notes:

1. Nico and myself have soft-forked arc-theme to continue development
of arc-theme.  The old maintainer no longer is contactable and has not
developed arc-theme for some considerable time
2. Have run check-all-the-things and fixed any relevant results
3. Have run lintian -i -I --pedantic on the built source.changes file
and resolved issues reported.
4. I have not included an autopkgtest since I don't believe it is
relevant for a GTK theme.

  Changes since the last upload:

   * New upstream release
  * Packaging changes:
- Previous upload was to experimental since Debian was in package
  freeze for Stretch.  This release is to unstable since the archive

Bug#883726: RFS: budgie-extras/0.3.0-1 [ITP]

[foss.freedom]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity:  wishlist

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-extras"

 * Package name: budgie-extras
   Version : 0.3.0-1
   Upstream Author : Ubuntu Budgie Developers
 * URL : https://github.com/ubuntubudgie/budgie-extras
 * License : GPL-3+
   Section : misc

  It builds those binary packages:

budgie-countdown-applet - Applet providing a countdown capability
on the Budgie Desktop
 budgie-hotcorners-applet - Applet providing hotcorners capabilities
for the Budgie Desktop
 budgie-keyboard-autoswitch-applet - Applet adding the ability to set
a different keyboard layout per
 budgie-previews-applet - Applet providing window previews
capabilities for the Budgie Desk
 budgie-quicknote-applet - Applet providing simple notes capability
for the Budgie Desktop
 budgie-showtime-applet - Applet displaying date and time on the Budgie Desktop
 budgie-window-mover-applet - Applet allows moving windows between
workspaces for the Budgie De
 budgie-workspace-overview-applet - Applet providing quick access to
workspaces for the Budgie Deskto
 budgie-workspace-wallpaper-applet - Applet providing per workspace wallpaper

  To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/budgie-extras


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-extras/budgie-extras_0.3.0-1.dsc

Notes:

Budgie Desktop is the flagship desktop system for Solus. Budgie
Desktop can be extended through applets - LibPeas based applications
that provide extra capabilities not available through the core
product.

For this sponsorship request, myself as the project lead of the
GNU/Linux distro Ubuntu Budgie have been working with my team to
develop a series of additional Budgie Desktop applets that we believe
give the end user additional optional capabilities to enhance their
user experience.  These applets are distro agnostic and we believe
would benefit Debian users of the Budgie Desktop.

Viability: The Ubuntu Budgie team have a direct interest in developing
and maintaining these applets.  These are already available to Ubuntu
Budgie users via its backports PPA.

Maintainership: I maintain all budgie related packages for both Debian
and Ubuntu.

Packaging:

We have made each applet available as individual binary packages -
this allows users the flexibility to choose specific applets rather
than having to install everything.

For this release (and moving forward) I have signed with my 4K based
key. The package was verfied through a `uscan -v --force-download` and
unpacked & built & uploaded to mentors

check-all-the-things has been run on the source and where appropriate
we have tidied up both the source and debian packaging.

lintian -i -I --pedantic on the built changes file has been run and is
lintian free.

We include a pep8 based autopkgtest that has been tested on an schroot
for both unstable and also Ubuntu's bionic series.  The test has
passed successfully.

The package itself runs with an autotest -  the same pep8 test for
autopkgtests (see tools/run_pep8)

Testing:

The minimal XFCE based Debian Buster was upgraded to unstable and
budgie-desktop was installed.

The package was built and each individual binary package was installed
and tested to confirm that they work correctly - this importantly
caught all the necessary runtime dependencies that have been captured
in debian/control

  Changes since the last upload:

 * Initial Release (Closes: #883720)

Notes:

I'm concerned with how mentors is reporting my upload

"Buildsystem: Package uses debhelper with an old compatibility level
No compatibility level set!"

both the debian/control debhelper and compat values are 10 - so I
don't understand how mentors is reporting the upload.

"Watch file is not present"

debian/watch definitely exists.  When I ran a uscan --force-download,
the tarball was correctly downloaded and the signature was validated.
So what does this mean on the mentors page?

With regards to the package the following package tests have been completed:

grep -riE 'fixme|todo|hack|xxx' .
suspicious-source
pyflakes3 .
pep8 --ignore W191 .
find -type f \( -iname '*.po' -o -iname '*.pot' \) -exec msgfmt

--output-file=/dev/null {} \;

I'm content with the output from the above.

from the built and installed package:

adequate rhythbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar

[foss.freedom]

thanks.

I have doubled checked the bug number in the 10.2.9-3 release - this
was released to unstable whilst 10.3 was in experimental.  I've
updated the changelog to reflect this.

I've pulled the budgie 10.4 release notes from the upstream
announcement and added it to the changelog-announcement.txt

Ack 4.0.1 and Standards-Version.

I've double checked 4.0.1 and 4.0.0 to double check.  bookmarked this
checklist as well for the future.

I've done a further rebuild to confirm that the changelog changes are
ok.  Also uploaded to mentors.

I've explained this further in the changelog.  Hopefully this

This resolves the bug-report marked 'important' in the changelog

i.e. it supports the upcoming migration for unstable/buster to GTK+3.24.

I have built this successfully via a pbuilder chroot of unstable.

The request in bug report #869953 is

"We intend to upload gnome-settings-daemon 3.24 to Debian unstable
about 10 days from now on Sunday, August 6.

I suggest uploading the fix to the DELAYED queue for that date so that
this transition will be easy and smooth."

Thus please can this package (if acceptable) be put in the DELAYED
queue as described above?

  Changes since the last upload:

  * New release for unstable
Use build 10.3.1-3 for experimental with the following changes:
- enforce gnome-settings-daemon minimum version >= 3.24
- release ensures there is a migration path for
  budgie-core to GNOME stack 3.24 (Closes: #869953)

Notes:

  This is a bug-fix release for experimental only that needs wider testing

Note - I am waiting for the next meson release in unstable before
asking to move the build from experimental to unstable - the current
meson v0.41.1 in unstable does not build budgie-desktop due to an
upstream issue (https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/1969).
This has been fixed upstream but not yet released to unstable; as an
aside the patches indicated in that bug report upstream also has been
patched in Ubuntu Budgie 17.10 and hence builds successfully there.

  Changes since the last upload:

  * Bug-fix release
  * Patches
- 0005-raven-Only-deal-with-a-device-card-when-it-actually-.patch
  0006-raven-Mirror-the-last-fix-and-ensure-removed-Things-.patch
  Both patches resolve crashes when audio devices such as
  headphones are added.
  * Packaging Changes:
- remove build-dependency on libc6-dev since this is
  automatically pulled in by build-essential

Bug#866736: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.2.9-3

[foss.freedom]

tags 866736 - moreinfo

Hi Gianfranco,

okey dokey,

  first time trying to fix something in stable :)  sounds like a bit
different from launchpads SRU process.

I've uploaded a new version with a target of unstable.

Sorry - I didnt really understand about filing a bug against
release.debian.org targeting "p-u" - I had a look here but didnt see
an example https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting

So I use two line fields "package: budgie-desktop" and "version:
10.2.9-2" in the sub...@bugs.debian.org email

what is the fields for filing against release.debian.org and a target of "p-u" ?

thanks

David

Bug#866160: closed by Gianfranco Costamagna <locutusofb...@debian.org> (Re: Bug#866160: RFS: moka-icon-theme/5.3.6-1)

[foss.freedom]

Hi Gianfranco,

  many thanks for sponsoring this.

Quick question.  I can see the moka-icon-theme v5.6.1 source has
entered the unstable archive - but I don't see the built binary
(_all.deb).

http://cdn-fastly.deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/m/moka-icon-theme/

Any idea where the binary has gone?  I presume that is the reason why
the package hasnt sync'd to launchpad.net

thanks in advance

David

Bug#864680: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.3.1-2 -- bugfix release for the desktop environment Budgie Desktop

Notes:

  from the previous upload #862371

Request to consider moving the man-pages to
a) .manpages
b) consider moving the manpages to budgie-desktop

I have - as requested - moved the dh_installman statements in
debian/rules to budgie-core.manpages

When building/testing with lintian, warnings were displayed when the
missing manpages were defined with the binary package budgie-desktop.
This is because the binary package budgie-core actually contains all
the built executables.  Thus I have left the man-pages within the
budgie-core package.

I suppose I could ignore the warning?  or maybe override the lintian
warning?  I would welcome your thoughts here.  For the moment I have
left the man-pages within budgie-core so that the whole build packages
are as lintian free as possible.

The two new patches here are bug-fixes available upstream.  The
"include-menubar-theme.patch" I have included because I would like to
update my other Debian package "budgie-indicator-applet" to utilise
this patch fix but need budgie-desktop to be accepted first [details
of the patch are included within the patch header in debian/patches].
In addition Ubuntu MATE most probably will be requesting sponsorship
of another package soon "vala-panel-appment" and one of the binaries
builds a budgie-desktop applet that will require this patch.

The second patch "0004" I have included here because I want to get
further feedback from testers if indeed this resolves memory leak
issues.

  Changes since the last upload:

* Bug-fix release
* Patches
- include-menubar-theme.patch
correctly style budgie applets that
use a GTK+ MenuBar
- 0004-wm-Purge-old-backgrounds-from-the-cache.patch
resolve memory leak when desktop wallpaper changes
* Packaging Changes:
- simplified debian/rules
manpages moved to budgie-core.manpages; each executable in
budgie-core now includes a manpage which enables users to
man the exe name and additionally resolves lintian issues.
make target and install methods moved to a more their more
appropriate targets, auto_build and auto_install respectively.
deleted erroneous override_dh_prep

Bug#862371: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.3.1-1

[foss.freedom]

Tim,

  absolutely superb - that worked very nicely :D

Not quite sure I understand why since I dont recognise that locale -
some-sort of special "C language" unicode locale? - but it works so
thats the main thing.


Gianfranco,

  A new version of the package has been uploaded with Tim's
suggestion.  Tested by building in a Stretch chroot.

In addition - as requested - the .installs have been simplified.

I also doubled checked this and threw this up on a launchpad PPA.

cheers

David

Bug#862371: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.3.1-1

[foss.freedom]

Hi Gianfranco,

  I'm struggling with this - any thoughts on my investigations below.

On Debian Stretch I've created a chroot for unstable and installed the
build dependencies for budgie-desktop + locales + meson

In debian/rules I've changed the two export LANG and LANGUAGE vars to
en_US.UTF-8

Then manually (in the chroot) I have run the following:

debconf-set-selections <<< 'locales locales/default_environment_locale
select en_US.UTF-8'

dpkg-reconfigure locales

update-locale LANGUAGE='en_US.UTF-8'

N.B. the debconf-set-selections is to ensure dpkg-reconfigure locales
runs without the user having to manually select en_US.UTF-8 to the two
questions asked.

That's enough to convince the dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc to work
correctly within the chroot

The question I have is how to tuck the three commands above into the
Debian package to run before the main meson callout in debian/rules ?
i.e. I'm hoping this is the answer how to get the Debian build system
to default to a UTF-8 locale.

I added the three commands within override_dh_auto_configure: but I
get a "sh:1  Syntax error: redirection unexpected" - so I'm kind of
stuck on how to move forward.

I was hoping to find an existing Debian package that uses meson
building Vala within the archives to see how the maintainer did
something similar but my Google-fu has failed to find such a package
:(

Bug#862940: RFS: slick-greeter/1.0.3-1 ITP

[foss.freedom]

Hi Adam,

  k - fonts-cantarell was maybe not a good idea.

Have changed it in the recent upload to a standard Sans font which
looks ok on stretch xfce (well at least to my eyes) - but as you
mentioned its configurable.

Have raised the issue upstream about slick-greeter.conf - I'll do an
upstream PR anyway very soon to cover this and therefore will be made
available in a subsequent update.

I had a look at the configurator - it currently has a dependency
according to the upstream debian/control file on a package called
python3-xapp that doesn't exist in Debian.  I need to have a closer
look at the source to see it really does need this dependency.
Assuming I can iron this bit out, yes I intend to package it as well.

Yes please to New if you are happy with the minor tweaks I've done above.

David

Thanks Adam for the feedback.

unstable is therefore appropriate.

I have switched liblightdm-gobject-1-dev and liblightdm-gobject-dev
around in the latest upload. Hopefully this will resolve the first
alternate rule on buildds

cheers

Bug#862940: RFS: slick-greeter/1.0.3-1 ITP

[foss.freedom]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "slick-greeter"

 * Package name: slick-greeter
   Version : 1.0.3-1
   Upstream Author :  Clement Lefebvre 
 * URL : https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter/
 * License : GPL-3+
   Section : x11

  It builds those binary packages:

slick-greeter - Slick-looking LightDM greeter

  To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/slick-greeter


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/slick-greeter/slick-greeter_1.0.3-1.dsc

Notes:

 Slick-Greeter has been created by Linux Mint as their primary LightDM
greeter for their distro.  It is being promoted as a distro-agnostic
greeter.  I am aware it is available in several non-Debian based
distro's.
Given the limited number of LightDM based greeters available in Debian
I believe this is a good complement for Debian with a long-term
upstream viability.

Packaging issues.

Linux Mint do not PGP sign their packages.  The upstream tarball
contains their Debian package specific to their Distro. I asked the
question whether they would separate distro specific packaging from
the source but this was declined
-https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter/issues/22

As such to build this package I am prepared to maintain the Debian
package under our distro GithHub organisation Ubuntu Budgie

To build this I have had to-do the following:
uscan to autodownload the upstream tarball via the debian/watch in
this Debian package
Unpack the published upstream tarball.
Remove the upstream Debian folder and its contents
Copy back from the published UbuntuBudgie slick-greeter debian branch
the Debian package.

This Debian package contains one patch - this is to replace the
upstream specific font dependency with what I consider a good font
available in Debian and all Debian based distros (font-cantarell)

I'm aware of the release state of Stretch; this package is therefore
not appropriate for Stretch.

Please let me know if experimental is perhaps more appropriate than
unstable given the status of Stretch.

I can confirm that the necessary build dependency differences between
Ubuntu and Debian have been met here i.e. builds successfully both on
Debian and Ubuntu without needing separate distro packages.

Have run check-all-the-things on the source and adjusted the
debian/copyright accordingly.  Doesnt appear to be any other changes
required as a result of the check-all-the-things output.

Also ran lintian -i -I on the built changes and this returned no issues.


  Changes since the last upload:

   * Initial release. (Closes: #862934)

Bug#862934: ITP: slick-greeter -- slick-looking LightDM greeter

[foss.freedom]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Owner: David Mohammed 

Package name: slick-greeter
Version: 1.0.3
Upstream Author : Clement Lefebvre 
URL: https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter/
License: GPL 3+
Programming Lang: Vala
Description: Slick-looking LightDM greeter
 Slick-Greeter is cross-distribution and should work pretty much
 anywhere.
 .
 All panel applets are embedded. No external indicators are launched or
 loaded by the greeter.
 .
 No settings daemon are launched or loaded by the greeter.
 .
 This greeter supports HiDPI.
 .
 Sessions are validated. If a default/chosen session isn't present on
 the system, the greeter scans for known sessions in
 /usr/share/xsessions and replaces the invalid session choice with a
 valid session.
 .
 You can take a screenshot by pressing PrintScrn. The screenshot is
 saved in /var/lib/lightdm/Screenshot.png.
 .
 Slick Greeter started as a fork of Unity Greeter 16.04.2, a greeter
 developed for Ubuntu by Canonical, which used indicators and
 unity-settings-daemon.

Bug#862371: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.3.1-1

[foss.freedom]

Thanks Gianfranco for the review.  Much appreciated.

I have completely redone the licenses and files in debian/copyight and
double checked via "check-all-the-things"

For the .install files - all debian/tmp has been removed.

the FTBFS is concerning.  I don't understand why there is a difference
between the build systems of launchpad (it works) and Debian (it
doesnt).

I asked this question here -
https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop/issues/921

The advice is to ensure the environment variables LANG and LANGUAGE is
set to en_US - I've added two export lines for these environment vars
at the top of the debian/rules

I've tested the rules changes on launchpad.  However I dont have
access to the debian build system so I cannot verify.

I have rebuilt on my debian stretch VM and this is OK.

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal [important for RC bugs, wishlist for new packages]

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-desktop"

 * Package name: budgie-desktop
   Version : 10.3.1-1
   Upstream Author : i...@solus-project.com
 * URL : https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop
 * License : LGPL-2.1/GPL2.0

  It builds those binary packages:

budgie-core - Core package for Budgie-Desktop
 budgie-core-dev - Development package for budgie-desktop
 budgie-desktop - Desktop package for budgie-desktop
 budgie-desktop-doc - documentation files for the budgie-desktop
 gir1.2-budgie-desktop-1.0 - GNOME introspection library for budgie-desktop
 libbudgie-plugin0 - Plugin library for budgie-desktop
 libbudgietheme0 - Theme library for budgie-desktop
 libraven0  - Raven library for budgie-desktop

  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop_10.3.1-1.dsc

Notes:

I have tested the package on the latest Stretch

debian-testing-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso   2017-05-08 08:38  642M

built through forcing a download via uscan, unpack and build using the
revamped debian package. N.B. this validated that the upstream
maintainer key new PGP signed key works.  built via "debuild -us -uc
-d"

Also built the same package on Ubuntu 17.10 Artful via Launchpad and
tested on 32bit and 64bit.

As requested I have reworked the package to reduce the lintian issues.

The key main one remaining is the extant  RPATH lintian issue that is
in the existing v10.2.9 budgie-desktop package.

upstream here basically says there is not alot that can be done.
https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop/issues/920

Since Debian is in the final release mode for Stretch so I guess
unstable is not the correct request for this?  Thus I've set the
changelog to build for experimental.

  Changes since the last upload:

  budgie-desktop (10.3.1-1) experimental; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release
  * Patches
- fortify: to support detecting run-time issues
- show_nm-applet_in_tray.patch: Ubuntu specific patch to display the
  network-manager applet
- 0001-imports-natray-Enforce-minimum-size-of-22px.patch
  Resolve system tray sizing issues
- 0002-Fix-typo-in-meson.build.patch
  Correct development package build
- 0003-Work-around-serious-regressions-in-GTK3.22.13.patch
  Add support for GTK+3.22.13 and later
- disable-popover-animations.patch
  Panel popover animations cause flashes on some setups.  Disabling
  the panel popover animation resolves this.
  * Packaging Changes:
- meson build dependency
- Add ubuntu specific build rule to enable network-manager to
  correctly display in the system tray
- Add man-pages for each executable
- Update Copyright for new source structure
- Update control file to support only GTK+3.18 and later together
  meson build dependency
- Update install files due to meson build
- Fix Conf-files lintian warnings
- Add library symbols
- Update watch file:
repo name change
detection of version format x.y as well as x.y.z
upstream maintainer GPG signed key pgpmangle
- Add maintainer GPG signed key
- add libmutter build dependency to GTK+3.24 libmutter-0-dev as
  an alternate for libmutter-dev based build environments
- changed standards version to 3.9.8
- Update copyright year for all Ikey Doherty statements

   Upstream Author : Sam Hewitt 
 * URL : github.com/snwh/moka-icon-theme

Notes:
  have run linitian -i -I on both the sources and built .changes

As explained below - I have isolated the fix from upstream to the core
changes needed to resolve this bug.  I wasn't too sure if I should tag
this RC.  I've tested stretch with budgie-desktop and libreoffice and
I can confirm the bug is present in stretch.

If you do not consider this worthy for inclusion for stretch, IMHO it
is certainly suitable for further testing in unstable.  TIA for
consideration of this issue.

  Changes since the last upload:

   * bug-fix release
- add patch fix-overly-large-icons to resolve some applications
  scaling icons incorrectly

This is explained further in the patch-header

Description: fix overly large icons
 Due to a typo in index.theme, some applications incorrectly
 scale icons. The Type= parameter is case-sensitive and all instances
 of "scalable" should be "Scalable"
 .
 Upstream commit 87373de8d7e2c8ad1975174a46bfdb2d3cc7a40f
 resolves this issue - but the above commit is combined
 with a much larger set of changes.

Bug#848402: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.2.9-1

[foss.freedom]

Hello Andrey,

 thanks for the feedback.

The back-story on this is an age old issue with budgie-desktop.  Using
the standard rules we would prefer such as in the PR
https://github.com/UbuntuBudgie/budgie-desktop/pull/2 the whole
desktop does not actually start.  This has been discussed at length
with upstream (https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop/issues/297)
until later discovering a more old fashioned build method works
successfully on the debian derivative Ubuntu.

It is unknown why debhelper and the manual build mechanism differ so
subtly.  With upstream dumping Vala and moving to C in the upcoming
budgie-desktop v11 I am more confident a straightforward debian/rules
will be possible.

The I/P/W lintian stuff is the same as previous versions of budgie-desktop.

Bug#848402: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.2.9-1

[foss.freedom]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-desktop"

 * Package name: budgie-desktop
   Version : 10.2.9-1
   Upstream Author : i...@solus-project.com
 * URL : https://github.com/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop
 * License : LGPL-2.1/GPL2.0
   Section : x11

  It builds those binary packages:

budgie-core - Core package for Budgie-Desktop
 budgie-core-dev - Development package for budgie-desktop
 budgie-desktop - Desktop package for budgie-desktop
 budgie-desktop-doc - documentation files for the budgie-desktop
 gir1.2-budgie-desktop-1.0 - GNOME introspection library for budgie-desktop
 libbudgie-plugin0 - Plugin library for budgie-desktop
 libbudgietheme0 - Theme library for budgie-desktop
 libraven0  - Raven library for budgie-desktop

  To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/budgie-desktop


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop_10.2.9-1.dsc


Notes:

  built successfully on a up-to-date debian sid as well as on Ubuntu 17.04 zesty

  Have run lintian -i -I on the built .deb, changes and sources files

  Have run check-all-the-things to double check no new/updated copyright stuff

  Have also checked that it is still not possible to simplify the
packaging rules set with debhelper 10 - the age old issue of the built
packages not working with a simplified debhelper rules set is still
there in Ubuntu Zesty.  Expect this will be resolved in the upcoming
budgie-desktop v11 due early next year.

  Changes since the last upload:

* New upstream release
- maintenance release - changelog as per release tag
  * Packaging changes:
- Drop all now obsolete previous patches names 000*
- add debian/ubuntu specific patch to stop panel crashes
  stop_menu_refresh.diff
- refresh nm-applet.diff patch due to source filelayout change
- add to rules to delete non ISO639 zh-Hant locale
- update debian/copyright due to source filelayout change
- update debian/copyright to fix duplicate "Sam Sam" entry which
  was causing lintian messages
- update package for debhelper 10
- update debian/control for new VCS repo name
- add network-manager-gnome as a dependency for budgie-desktop since
- budgie-desktop will crash without this being installed
- remove unneeded lintian override
- updated upstream/metadata to reflect new upstream repo name

Bug#843378: RFS: budgie-indicator-applet/0.1-1 ITP

[foss.freedom]

Hi Gianfranco,

  I've submitted a revised package - since this required source
changes the version has changed to 0.2

I've changed to debhelper 10 as recommended.

Note however - when testing on sid and ubuntu zesty I still had to use
in the rules dh $@ --with autoreconf

without the clause, the source was not compiled - I just got an empty
deb binary :/

I also had to keep the extra dh_auto_install because the compilation
creates a .la file and this causes a lintian error.

I was a little surprised - the only real difference I saw between
debhelper 9 and 10 was that I didnt need to specify dh-autoreconf in
the control build-depends

BTW - is there a bug in mentors.debian.net because when I look at the
package it says I'm using debhelper 9 and it gives me a lintian error
that I'm missing dh-autoreconf?

I've changed to a text based pgp signature and thus removed the
include/binaries as requested.

Copyright 2+ --> 3 has been corrected.

I'm not sure what you meant by src:ido is RC buggy - libido3-0.1-dev
is an essential package for both mate-indicator-applet and this applet
compilation - same version exists in sid/stretch and ubuntu zesty.

David

Bug#843378: RFS: budgie-indicator-applet/0.1-1 ITP

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-indicator-applet"

 * Package name: budgie-indicator-applet
   Version : 0.1-1
   Upstream Author : David Mohammed 
 * URL : https://github.com/budgie-remix/budgie-indicator-applet
 * License : GPL-2+

  It builds those binary packages:

budgie-indicator-applet - Application Indicator for the budgie-desktop

  To access further information about this package, please visit the

  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-indicator-applet/budgie-indicator-applet_0.1-1.dsc

Notes:
  this package provides a new applet for the budgie-desktop.  It is
derived from the package mate-indicator-applet
(https://packages.debian.org/stretch/mate-indicator-applet).  The code
has been considerably reworked to remove redundancy and complexity.

  For an FYI - the current monolithic budgie-desktop package is being
re-architected upstream - there will be several packages that will
need to be uploaded when this happens (time-frame as yet unknown) -
these I am currently intending to be similarly named "budgie-xyz" -
again similar to the current mate-xyz package naming convention.

Hi Gianfranco

  quite correct data/icons/* was marked as CC-BY-SA-4.0 in
debian/copyright ... my bad.  Have corrected this to CC-BY-SA-3.0

The "Copyright (C) GNOME Shell Developers (Heavy inspiration, logic
theft)" is the text in wm/keyboard.vala and wm/ibus.vala - both of
these are in the debian/copyright file.  I've now split ikey's
copyright line and "GNOME Shell Developers" onto separate lines in
debian/copyright for both wm/keyboard.vala and wm/ibus.vala

hopefully this workaround can be dropped in the near future.

  panel does not crash when installing or removing applications

The GitHub repository is https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme

The author GitHub repository details his homepage which:
https://github.com/horst3180 - you'll see it is as given in the
package - http://horst3180.deviantart.com/

You'll notice the screenshots part of the metadata points here -
http://horst3180.deviantart.com/art/20150518-533907665

There in the comments he mentions his "new" project which is the
arc-theme project.

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "moka-icon-theme"

 * Package name: moka-icon-theme
   Version : 5.3.2-2
   Upstream Author : Sam Hewitt 
 * URL : github.com/moka-project/moka-icon-theme
 * License : GPL-3+/CC-BY-SA-4.0
   Section : misc

  It builds those binary packages:

moka-icon-theme - Tango-esque desktop icon set called Moka

  To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/moka-icon-theme


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/moka-icon-theme/moka-icon-theme_5.3.2-2.dsc

Notes:

Since Debian Sid has moved to GTK+3.22 there are several icons that no
longer display correctly - those projects have changed the icon-name
for their projects.

The fixes are available upstream in the moka-icon-theme project so I
have cherry-picked these - obviously pending a next release of
moka-icon-theme (date unknown).

  Changes since the last upload:

  * cherry-pick upstream patches
- fix GTK+3.22 and GTK+3.20 based apps not displaying correctly due
  to upstream changing their .desktop exec=icon names
- fix ubuntu-software, ImageMagik and Guake icon display
  * Packaging Changes:
- update maintainer email address

Notes:

As requested as part of the previous submission (#837609) I've looked at trying
to remove the upstream generated C files through the maintainer
recommended "make maintainer-clean".  Unfortunately this removes more
than it should and the subsequent source does not rebuild.  I'll
continue looking at this but for the moment this bug-fix submission
does not include this packaging change.

Notes 2:
This patch added has been deemed a priority 1 by the upstream
maintainer since it causes lots of crashes around power management.

  Changes since the last upload:

 * Add patch to fix crash
- 0003 - update to upower 0.99API to stop panel crash

Bug#837609: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.2.7-1

[foss.freedom]

Hi Gianfranco,

  many thanks for reviewing this revised package.

(I'll make sure I use "plain text mode" for gmail from now on)

1. I've completely redone the copyright file - obviously alot of the
files Ikey has updated to 2016 (but not all) so this is reflected in
the new copyright + a couple of double copyrighters such as Josh Klar.

I ran licensecheck as well - where the files where marked as
"generated" and did not have a .vala equivalent I have not added these
to the copyright.  These are by-products of the make distcheck process
upstream uses.

2. I re-raised the generated files question here upstream:

https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/issues/588

"
I seem to remember we had this conversation before, getting deja vu
anyway :) That's how the Vala+autotools stuff works. The only way for
me to workaround it is to forcibly delete the stamps, which in turn
breaks distcheck. We don't use any conditionals in the Vala code for
exactly this reason, we know the .c files aren't being regenerated, so
the conditionals would never work (they don't make it to the .c..)

We could try to hack the .c's out it, but I think the time would be
best spent on rewriting to C for 10.3, as we need to fix all those odd
issues (like not being able to have proper relro plugins), then we can
just drop all the .vala anyway. I'd like to see what Debian makes of
that proposition, because I think we're all a bit sick of Vala in
Budgie Desktop by now anyway, right? :)"

3. I've added the libaccountservice-dev to the changelog.

I've also rerun check-all-the-things and this looks similar to the
results of budgie-desktop-10.2.6

Cheers

David

  Notes:

  upstream released 10.2.7.  Series of patches have subsequently been
added to git by the maintainer,

 summary of patches follows:


  patch 1: 0001 is requested by the upstream maintainer since causes
serious display issues with

  the budgie icon-tasklist is not displayed correctly.

  patch 2: Debian and Ubuntu only patch. Workaround patch for Debian based

  systems to stop crashes for budgie-panel and whole session crashes

  patch 3: volume patch

  upstream usability patch since volume indicator is not discoverable


  Debian packaging:

  have retested package but with a standard simpler debhelper package

  but unfortunately the same issues as previous budgie-desktop version, that is

  the package appears to build correctly but does not launch correctly on logon.

  Therefore have kept the identical packaging as the previous upload in stretch.


  Tested the source and .debs with lintian -i -I and identical results

  as for the previous package 10.2.6-2

  Changes since the last upload:

  * New upstream release
- upstream release 10.2.7
  * Add upstream recommended patch
- 0001 - fix icontask lisk spacing after reboot
  * add patch to stop budgie-panel menu crash on apt refresh
  * add volume patch
- 0002 - fix volume usability for panel indicator
  * Packaging changes
- drop patches gtk-link and GNOME 3.22 build since
  these are included in the 10.2.7 release

Fully understand Gianfranco.

  thanks for the advice.  The package has now been stripped of these dbg
and symbols now and uploaded to mentors.

Have done a test rebuild of the revised package together with a linitian -i
-I of the sources and .deb packages and all looks as the same as the
current budgie-desktop package in stretch

Bug#837196: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.2.6-2

[foss.freedom]

Hi Gianfranco,

  the debug packages and symbols are not currently being created since I am
using the pre v9 packaging mechanism.

I'm sure you remember - budgie-desktop is just very weird under debian &
ubuntu and the standard debhelper - all packages seem to be generated but
the desktop never launches :/

I look forward to the future budgie-desktop where the maintainer is to
recode using C and it should be then possible to throw away all the pre V9
stuff and use standard debhelper packaging techniques.


As an aside, a new version of budgie-desktop is in the wings upstream -
when this is officially released, I will retest with a standard debhelper
packaging to see if the extensive changes in this new version fixes this
weird debhelper build issue.

Hi Lucus,

  I've been monitoring upstream - there is lots of GTK3.22 stuff ready to
go.  Upstream will do an official release for GTK3.22 in the next few days
(the maintainer is very proactive) - as you know GTK3.22 is not officially
released as yet by GNOME so many maintainers what until then.

Bug#836083: budgie-desktop: debian/patches/nm-applet.diff makes very little sense

[foss.freedom]

Simon,

  I can swap dbus-launch for dbus-run-session.

Either "exec=dbus-launch nm-applet" or "exec=dbus-run-session nm-applet" in
/etc/xdg/autostart/budgie-desktop-nm-applet.desktop is needed for the
network manager applet to appear in the budgie-panel.

If you just have "exec=nm-applet", then network manager will work but the
user will not have a visible applet to interact with.

I've tested this with with dbus-x11 installed or with both dbus-x11 and
dbus-user-session installed

Happy to swap to dbus-run-session and add a dependency on dbus.

Please advise if this is the route to go through and I'll upload a revised
budgie-desktop package.

David

Bug#824967: RFS: budgie-desktop/10.2.5-1 [ITP]

[foss.freedom]

Hi Gianfranco,

  as requested I've revisited the package.

Since 10.2.6 of budgie-desktop has just been released I've taken the
opportunity to upload this instead of the 10.2.5 you have examined
previously.

I've had a look through and tested the revised packaging.

Changes to the packaging - resolve the folder permissions issue that FTP
masters failed the previous package on.

I've had help from Jeremy Bicha to fix missing dependencies in the -dev
package

Other linitian issues addressed:

1. budgie-desktop: package-contains-no-arch-dependent-files
2. budgie-desktop-doc: capitalization-error-in-description GTK GTK+ and
other similar lintian information issues in the other built packages
3. W: budgie-desktop-doc: non-standard-file-perm
usr/share/gtk-doc/html/budgie-desk
top-10.2.4/BudgieApplet.html 0664 != 0644 and other similar lintian
warnings in other built packages
4. W: libbudgietheme0: maintscript-calls-ldconfig postinst - I've replaced
the postinst with .triggers as recommended by linitian

The puritan issue you pointed me at - I've incorporated the gtk-link patch
that the upstream maintainer (Ikey) recommended.

The remaining linitian issues:
1. no upstream change log - upstream does its change log via git tags
2. hardening linitian recommendations - as discussed with Paul Wise - if I
attempt to apply any of the hardening flags this results in budgie-desktop
not running at all.  I strongly suspect once upstream completes the
conversion to pure C in the future (data unknown), these hardening issues
will be resolved (I believe this is a Vala issue).

Bug#830160: RFS: arc-theme/20160605-2

[foss.freedom]

package: sponsorship-requests
  Severity: normal

  Dear mentors,

  I am looking for a sponsor for my package "arc-theme"

 * Package name: arc-theme
   Version : 20160605-2
   Upstream Author : horst3180 
 * URL : https://github.com/horst3180/arc-theme

 * License : GPL-3+
   Section : misc

  It builds those binary packages:

arc-theme  - A flat theme with transparent elements

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/arc-theme


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x 
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/arc-theme/arc-theme_20160605-2.dsc

  More information about hello can be obtained from https://www.example.com.

  Changes since the last upload:

* Include Arc's plank GTK+ option for each theme variant
Notes:

This is an amendment to this package which was previously accepted
into unstable and subsequently to testing.

The source package contains this Plank option which (according to the
source README) a user would have to install manually.

Plank with its GTK+ theme option automatically chooses the plank theme
if found in a GTK theme - thus I have ensured the plank theme is
included automatically as part of the install.

Testing - no impacts for users who do not use Plank

No impacts for users who have chosen their own Plank Theme via Plank Preferences

As before, the upstream maintainer has indicated that they do not wish
to GPG sign releases on his project.

 David Mohammed

Hi Gianfranco,

  good to hear from you!  Many thanks for your feedback.

control:

Have made the descriptions more meaningful

dh-buildinfo

Good spot - this was a left-over from 6 months ago when git compiling was
done.  This has been tidied.

rules:
> please use the new dh sequencer.

Ok - TL;DR; from stuff I was discussing with Paul Wise.  Budgie-Desktop is
definitely not Debian deb-helper friendly.  With a standard v9 debhelper -
even with a override_autoreconf, override_autoreconfigure etc, it appears
from first glance that the compilation works.  However on installation the
budgie-session fails to launch.  I discussed this upstream but could not
find a resolution.

The recipe you see is basically the older deb packaging style - but more
importantly works in Debian Stretch 32bit & 64bit (tested regularly over
the last 6 months), developed from Ubuntu 15.10 and reused for 16.04 and
16.10 (again 32bit and 64bit).

Sorry - I cannot find a new style debhelper recipe that works against all
target platforms

install files:
> usr/lib/libbudgietheme*.0

> usr/lib/libbudgietheme*.so.*

Agreed - fixed.

budgie-core binary: desktop-entry-contains-unknown-key * --> This is
because budgie-desktop introduced its own unique key "Budgie" - the desktop
autostart for network manager and each of the budgie executables use this
key to ensure the executables  only launch for budgie-desktop and therefore
have no impact on people using multiple desktop environments.


happy to remove the override if required.

Hi all,

  I've updated a new version today of my package budgie-desktop - this
tidies the vcs-browser and git fields in the control file.

Does anyone have anytime to have a look-see and maybe sponsor the package
please?

thanks

Bug#766726: incorrect closure

[foss.freedom]

looks like a bit of a boo-boo here.

My moka package had the wrong closure ref.

My other ITP for budgie-desktop got merged into this one and both now have
been closed.  ouch.

I have submitted a new ITP for budgie-desktop - #828765 and will link the
new budgie-desktop package on mentors to this new ITP.

Hi Adam,

  ok taking onboard the https recommendation (thanks BTW for the
clarification)- I've updated the vcs-git and upstream files accordingly.

both vcs fields point to budgie-remix debian source package.

The description field has the "A" removed to correct the warning

The new revised package has now been uploaded to mentors.

cheers

Thanks Adam,

  I've corrected the Vcs fields in our budgie-remix debian source repo -
https://github.com/budgie-remix/faba-icon-theme/tree/debian

If you want me to-do another RFS/ITP happy to-do so.  Alternatively when
the upstream maintainer releases a new version of faba-icon-theme then I'll
RFS/ITP this new version with the corrected vcs fields.

cheers

Bug#826974: RFS: moka-icon-theme/5.3.2-1 ITP

[foss.freedom]

Thanks Adam,

  a new upload has been made. linitian runs now without any errors.

vcs-git and vcs-browser now points to the budgie-remix github repo where
the debian source package resides.

GPL-3 points to the debian folder location

Description of moka has been made more descriptive.

rules file has been simplified

I'm not sure why I'm getting an information linitian issue on mentors for
the vcs-git - all the examples I've seen say that vcs-git should be git://
... but that linitian tag description says I should be using https:// -
strange.
vcs-field-uses-insecure-uri

Think you are right about other packages.  KDE breeze-icon-theme has logos
for a similar set of apps as moka.

I know the reason for the popularity of Moka is that it provides a
consistent look across all displayed interfaces such as menus.  It  would
be a great if the hard-work of the upstream maintainer could be made more
readily available across the wider Debian community.

thanks

David

[foss.freedom]

Many thanks Paul for the additional review comments.  I've included the
changes below in a revised package.

Important Note.  I've contacted the maintainer of the budgie-desktop
package on a couple of issues that was raised.

He has decided to consolidate all the issues raised under one umbrella
issue:

 - https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/issues/465

He has graciously (albeit time-limited) offered Debian a minor point
release that can address any packaging issue or issues.  Two caveats - the
issue or issues must not be distro specific and he is expecting a
consolidated list of points to consider - "let's get a complete action plan
here so I can get my development time back. i.e. kick things into gear."

Whilst I know you do not wish to sponsor this package - do you know of
someone who can?  I'm keen to get one list together to to keep the
maintainer positively engaged.  I cannot go back now to the maintainer with
individual points over a period of time.

version=3 has been used now and you are quite correct - mentors website no

Thanks for this - I'll use this info for maintenance of the package moving
forward in the future.

This has now been corrected.

I've removed the clean part of the debian/rules as requested.  With regards
to the build artifacts and other possible package changes, the maintainer
has pointed us to this:
https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/blob/master/README.md#reporting-issues--project-integration

Basically, if we change the upstream release package in anyway without the
explicit consent of the maintainer and a problem that is reported that is
found to be because of that change we will lose support.  "Don't make other
users suffer because you failed to follow our established build and release
processes. Use standard methods, and we all benefit."

I looked at that link  - are you asking me to file bug reports to debian
with the following body text?

"Source: natray
Severity: normal
Usertags: embed"

or

"Source: gvc
Severity: normal
Usertags: embed"

The links show that upstream (Red Hat/GNOME) are fully aware of the issue
and have been for two years.  There was mention of producing a standalone
binary but despite comments over the last two years, no explicit commitment
has been given.  There is very little that myself or Debia

This does not any material difference - these files are not installed - see
the maintainers comments here:
https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/issues/448

Apparently yes - according to the maintainer as linked above.

This is not installed - source only issue.

https://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamMetadata

Added upstream metadata

On the whole these findings were based on C issues - however this is due as
far as I can gather due to the Vala compiler - so not something upstream
can deal with.

This seems to be fixed now.

Vala to C compiler issues - not an upstream matter.

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear Mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "budgie-desktop"

Package name: budgie-desktop
Version : 10.2.5
Upstream Author : i...@solus-project.com
URL : https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop
License : LGPL-2.1/GPL2.0
Programming Lang: Vala
Description : The Budgie Desktop is the flagship desktop of the Solus
Operating System.

 Section : gnome

It builds the following binary packages:
Package: budgie-desktop
Description: Desktop package for budgie-desktop
 Budgie is the flagship desktop of the Solus Linux Distribution,
 a Solus project. Designed with the modern user in mind, it focuses on
 simplicity and elegance. A huge advantage for the Budgie desktop is
 that it is not a fork of another project, but rather one written from
 scratch with integration in mind.

  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/b/budgie-desktop/budgie-desktop_10.2.5-1.dsc

Further Information:

budgie-desktop is the flagship desktop system for Solus.  Solus is an tier
1 distro using its own packaging mechanism eopkg.  Solus supports only its
own distro (naturally) in a 64bit intel based system only.  The maintainer
does accept bug-reports for other distro's as long as it is reproducible in
Solus and/or the maintainer considers that the wider use of its desktop
environment would be enhanced.

The maintainer does produce OBS packages for a number of distros - but not
Debian.

For myself, I am the project leader of a Ubuntu based distro called
budgie-remix that uses budgie-desktop as its choice of desktop.

Thus, my direct interest is ensuring that Debian and its derivative
eco-system is enhanced by the incorporation of this exciting new desktop
system.

Packaging Notes:
  To produce a debian package that works in debian and ubuntu I have used a
more traditional rules based package rather than a simpler debhelper
auto-build mechanism.  I have had to do it this way because debhelper does
not produce binaries that actually work on a Ubuntu based platform - the
desktop system fails to launch at logon.  The failure is silent - there is
no obvious reason why debhelper autobuild fails to produce a working
solution.

I've tested this traditional package mechanism on Debian Stretch 64bit
(up-to-date today), Debian Stretch 32bit (up-to-date today), Ubuntu (64bit)
16.04 and Ubuntu (32bit) 16.04.

This build package has been used for two upstream releases now for
budgie-remix and thus I have confidence that this mechanism will be
sustainable in the long-term.

The patches incorporated are required for specifically Debian and Ubuntu
and are used in budgie-remix itself.

Changes since the last upload:

  * initial Debian package

[foss.freedom]

thanks for getting back so fast.

1. changelog.  This has been revised with better explanation.  I've changed
back the first entry as requested and changed the Maintainer field in
control.  I've added an explanation as to why we need python3-gi
2. I've updated the version field for some of the more important
build-dependencies.  The package is targeting Jessie as a minimum -
although obviously Stretch is the next stable.  I've adjusted some of the
build versions to accommodate debian derivatives such as Ubuntu Trusty
(14.04) where I've been testing also via a PPA
3. Copyright version - updates as requested to include 2016
4. postrm vs postinst ... must have had a brain freeze.  Changed to
postinst with an explanation in the change log.

If you suggest dumping prerm and postinst then quite content to do-so.
Note - I havent found a way to get debhelper to automatically byte-compile
the python modules.  All the examples suggest I should use distutils in the
dh_autoinstall which seems strange and complex to have both an
autogen/configure/make/make-install and a distutils-setup.py as well doing
much the same thing.  Having a prerm/postinst to my mind much simpler to
understand/maintain etc.

Anyway - have uploaded to mentors and the mentors web-page now says the
linitian is clean.

Dear Mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package
"rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar"

* Package name: rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar
  Version : 0.16.3-1
  Upstream Author : David Mohammed 
* URL : https://github.com/fossfreedom/alternative-toolbar

It builds those binary packages:

rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar - Enhanced play controls and
interface for Rhythmbox

  To access further information about this package, please visit the

  More information about rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar can be
obtained from https://github.com/fossfreedom/alternative-toolbar.
  Additionally I have a blog post about this work here:

Notes - this is an update to my previous version v0.15.0 that is in unstable

 - https://packages.debian.org/sid/rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar

Changes since the last upload:

  * New upstream release. (Closes: #811263)
  * Packaging changes (byte-compilation, dependencies)
  * Include ChangeLog
  * Drag-drop of column headers (issue 67)
  * slider greyed out on start (issue 69)

from the built and installed package:

adequate rhythbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar

Finally - I've been asked to use my full name "David Mohammed" in the

linitian errors "NMU" since my last upload was with "fossfreedom" ?
How should I deal with this?

Bug#804100: RFS: rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar/0.14.0-1~debian [ITP]

[foss.freedom]

Gianfranco,

  think I have had success with the watch file.  I found that if you store
the signature within a branch (in this case the debian branch) then you can
directly access the .asc file via the watch file.

Also I've removed the unneeded "license removal" patch.  This just leaves
the patch to Makefile.am to ensure the LICENSE file is not added to the
debian binary

The latest revision has been uploaded to mentors.

thanks

David

Bug#804100: RFS: rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar/0.14.0-1~debian [ITP]

[foss.freedom]

Gianfranco,

  I've uploaded an updated package with your suggested watch file.

According to the uscan results I got the following - I presume this means
success?

uscan debug: matching pattern(s) (?:(?:https://github.com
)?\/fossfreedom\/alternative\-toolbar\/tags)?.*/v?(\d\S*)\.tar\.gz
-- Found the following matching hrefs:
 /fossfreedom/alternative-toolbar/archive/v0.15.0.tar.gz (0.15.0)
 /fossfreedom/alternative-toolbar/archive/v0.14.1.tar.gz (0.14.1)
 /fossfreedom/alternative-toolbar/archive/v0.14.0.tar.gz (0.14.0)
Newest version on remote site is 0.15.0, local version is 0.15.0
 => Package is up to date
Newest version on remote site is 0.15.0, local version is 0.15.0
 => rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar_0.15.0.orig.tar.gz already in
package directory '..'
-- Scan finished

thanks

David
