Bug#739585: RFS: qjoypad/4.1.0-1 ITP

The following has been updated: * Add xpm file for desktop and menu icon * Update description and keywords for .desktop file * Move .desktop file installation to debian/install * Move cleanup of src/*.png to debian/clean * Add Vcs* fields to debian/control Regards, Jordan Metzmeier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Could you push your tags to the Alioth repository too? (git push --tags.) It doesn't get done automatically unfortunately and without the tags git-buildpackage can't do its stuff. Also, I realised I wasn't clear enough; when I said Don't bother with the generic name though, I meant the GenericName entry in the Ubuntu file; yours was fine and the .desktop file would be better with it back in! Sorry... Finally, if you'd like to maintain this in the Games team, you should change the maintainer as follows: Maintainer: Debian Games Team pkg-games-de...@lists.alioth.debian.org and add yourself as an uploader: Uploaders: Jordan Metzmeier jmetzmeie...@gmail.com But that's really up to you. If you don't mind pushing the tags, adding GenericName=Joypad mapping back to the .desktop file, and (if necessary) updating the control file, I'll sign and upload the package.

Hi, I would like to give my suggestion of categories for the desktop file. How about Categories=Settings;HardwareSettings;? Categories=Utility;Game; If the categories include two main categories, such as Game and Utility, the program may appear two times in the menu. http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html Regards, Juhani -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Control: tag -1 moreinfo Hi Jordan, On Thu, 20 Feb 2014 01:33:48 -0600, Jordan Metzmeier jmetzmeie...@gmail.com wrote: I am looking for a sponsor for my package qjoypad [...] The package contains two lintian info warnings: desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry no-upstream-changelog For the desktop lacking keywords entry, I really didn't have any ideas on what a user would type in other than the name and expect to find qjoypad. I would be happy to include any suggestions here. no-upstream-changelog is now pedantic, so I wouldn't worry about it. As far as keywords go, I'd add joystick, joypad, and perhaps joykeys and joyemu (the names of two similar programs for Windows or DOS which users may know). Did you look at the Ubuntu packaging? I like the desktop file: [Desktop Entry] Name=QJoyPad GenericName=Simulated Keystrokes GenericName[de]=Simulierte Tastendrücke Comment=Trigger keystrokes and mouse actions with gamepads/joysticks Comment[de]=Löse mit dem Gamepad/Joystick Tastendrücke und Mausbewegungen aus Icon=qjoypad Exec=qjoypad Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Utility;Game; StartupNotify=false Encoding=UTF-8 I think the comment is better than that in your version, and the Utility and Games categories seems more appropriate to me than KDE and Qt. Don't bother with the generic name though... Given that you have a debian/install file, you could use that to replace your install line for qjoypad.desktop in debian/rules. Could you also convert the icon to xpm and add it to the menu file? See https://wiki.debian.org/Games/JessieReleaseGoal for details. I noticed in your ITP that you mention a possible Games team maintainership; what are your thoughts on that now? (I'm a member of the Games team). Thanks for your work! It's nice to see you know your way around qmake ;-). Regards, Stephen signature.asc Description: PGP signature

It's nice to see you know your way around qmake ;-). Stephen, Thanks for taking a look at the package. I will make the suggested changes to the desktop file and menu icons this weekend. I am still open to Games team maintainership. I committed some of the initial packaging work to a pkg-games git repository, but it needs to be updated and Vcs tags added to the control file. I would be happy to change the maintainer field as well. Regards, Jordan Metzmeier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
