I welcome your initiative: I didn’t feel like putting too much cost on 
people on top of hardware when keeping packages around. The little 
“economy” I was hoping for (no NEW handling if the package gets 
reintroduced) is not really worth it IMHO. Thanks for raising the issue

FWIW, I’d welcome such change, (almost) whatever name end up being used
instead of “master”. If we agree on such change and decide to address it
on our repositories before the rest of the community, and then later,
another name become the de facto standard, I don’t care that we end up
having to change another way around in the following years.

One or two changes in a few years laps of time is what we’ve been used
to in the last ten years anyway (be it internal Alioth changes, or the
recent salsa move). For once, I’d be happy to address such change for
“human” reasons, rather than being forced to for technical ones.

Not answering that question specifically, but for example, chromium was
renamed as chromium-bsu (upstream). chromium-browser used to be
available via /usr/bin/chromium-browser for a while.

I may have missed it, but it looks like you didn’t ask directly the
netgen maintainers (or explicitly CC them during this discussion). Maybe
a first good step is to communicate with them and ask what is their take
on that matter (trying to find a consensus without half of the involved
party may be considered as rude, that’s probably not your intention).

What about, e.g., security issues: if nobody cares about maintaining
code, whether dormant or dead upstream, or simply no maintainer to
include security fixes or upload new upstream versions, then I believe
it may cause direct harm to the project. The fact that nobody cared
enough to track issues and eventually file RC-bugs may not be the best
way to claim that a package is good enough.

Maybe it is worth considering alternative instead of using unmaintained
code, or stepping up in proper maintenance, rather than leaving
unaudited code in some of our user machines.

> I would suggest that Firefox addon packages should depend on "firefox |

Most of those packages are mozilla-devscripts for the build and just
need to be rebuilt to get fixed. Even if our infrastructure has all the
needed tools to binNMU all of them as a proper transition, some
limitations on the way arch:all binNMU are handled currently prevents us
from having most of them already fixed, see #818104.

What is currently needed if the arch:all binNMU doesn’t get fixed, is
“just” to upload all of them. I’m currently dragged into doing that for
hundred of PHP classes packages because of this no arch:all binNMU
limitation, so I hope someone else from the Debian Mozilla Extension
Maintainers could take the lead on it (new members are welcome ;).

This one looks like a (partial) false positive: the outdated 0.8 source
is still around in Sid since the 0.9 version doesn’t build under sparc
(because it can’t…), it may just need a partial decruft:

algobox build-depends on:
- libqt5webkit5-dev
libqt5webkit5-dev depends on:
- libqt5webkit5 (= 5.2.1+dfsg-5)
libqt5webkit5 depends on missing:
- qtbase-abi-5-2-1

Compiling the list of relevant addresses is trivial (e.g., by piping the
output into “sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/@bugs.debian.org, /g'” — yay, it’s
ugly, and the last address is to be fixed, but that let room for

Or convince the BTS maintainers that #744339 is actually worth fixing
(the subjects already get mangled to add the bug number one can already
see in the To: field anyway, adding the package name on top or instead
of it wouldn’t be such a bad move IMHO).

Or educate ourselves to dig into the X-Debian-PR-Package header as

[Moving forward] copyrighted embedded ICC profiles in images

[David Prévot]

Hi,

Le 10/05/2014 09:23, Jonas Smedegaard a écrit :

> I believe it violates DFSG to ship e.g. JFIF or GIF files which contains 
> copyright-protected but not freely licensed ICC profiles.

Thanks for raising the issue. Since I (co)maintain a few web related
packages, I started submitting issues upstream and got mostly positive
feedback. Some already fixed the issue [ACK], one has not included the
fix yet [WIP], and one refuses to do so [NO] while others have not yet
replied [WAIT]. The packages I’ve uploaded since the issue has been
raised have been fixed in the archive regardless of upstream feedback.

If the check were to end up in Lintian, it will probably increase
significantly its dependency chain and its run time, so I’m not sure it
will be included soon.

Would it be welcome to investigate the issue on the whole archive (I’ll
follow up on debian-qa to have input on the tools at our disposal to do
so)? If so, I may initiate a MBF about it (and will follow up with a
dd-list before doing so). I’m afraid there will be many affected
packages, and it might be a challenge to get the archive in shape for
Jessie, should these bugs be filled as jessie-ignore (I’ll also follow
up on -relase for more guidance if the release team doesn’t reply until
then)?

In case we need to repack an upstream tarball with an ICC-free
alternative of some files, it would be nice to be able to do it as
easily as we can strip files with the Files-Excluded feature of
uscan/mk-origtargz. I already opened #748474 about it, but feedback
would be welcome (or other proposals, or patches).

According to the International Color Consortium, profiles provide

Regards

David

P.-S.: Full quote of the FAQ item for d-d readers benefits follows.


Q. Are profiles copyrighted?

A. ICC has no formal position on the use of profiles. It is really up to
the software vendor. However, since the software vendor effectively
holds copyright on the profile (which is specified in a tag) the licence
to use their software permits them to prohibit public posting of
profiles. One of their motivations could be that if such profiles could
be freely exchanged it would limit the number of sales of their
software. Also, from a technical perspective it is dangerous to publish
such profiles for many devices. A profile for a printer, for example, is
only valid for the substrate and inks for which it was made and it is
for this reason that few device manufacturers publish profiles for their
devices.

Any ICC profile is produced using proprietary software. All ICC define
is the nature of the tags, which tags are mandatory and which are
optional, and how the data should be defined in them. The contents of
the tables are vendor specific and each uses different algorithms. It is
this that gives the vendor something which they can copyright.

I’m not sure were you got those numbers, but it seems there are far more
debian/watch files than debian/upstream files in the archive (way more
than three times). Can somebody please enlighten us with factual numbers?

It seems a bit irrelevant to force hard conditions to improvements:
moving the very young debian/upstream file to a more accurate
debian/upstream/$metadata place should not be conditioned to moving the
“very old” and already highly used debian/watch file to the same
directory. If we could first agree on debian/upstream/ being the right
place for upstream related data/files, then it would make sense to
discuss and propose a plan to move the watch file there too (but can we
please have this other discussion if/once we agree on a common directory
first).

If I understood correctly, the DEP-12 metadata file is used by a pair of
tools, and James started to propose patches to support both paths in
order to allow a smooth transition. So the technical issue could be
considered (being) taking care of.
If I understood correctly, the following step would be to move (in the
packages’ VCS) one file to its new path. Considering most of the
concerned packages may be team-maintained, I’d be happy to offer my
hands in order help this transition and (momentarily) join the relevant
teams to (help and) do this not rewarding job.

Replacing a binary package by another one(was: Communication issue?)

I’ve been told that my previous suggestion was not clearly worded, so
let me try to be a little more specific.

I was directly proposing that, instead of silently removing the
texlive-lang-danish — and at least texlive-lang-norwegian — binary
packages, they could be added back as dummy transitional packages
depending on texlive-lang-european (that is, as far as we were able to
guess, providing the texlive-lang-danish — and texlive-lang-norwegian —
features). That way, this transition is not tight to the celerity third
party packages are able to cope with the change in our archive. As an
added value, any third parties (including those not in the Debian
archive) can benefit of a smooth upgrade instead of a disruptive change.

I’ve witnessed many such transitions, they even usually are kept in the
following stable release (so stable-to-stable upgrades are not too
disruptive for those third parties, and our users). I failed to come up
with a best practice URL documenting such transition, is someone able to
provide one, or correct me if I’ve made that up? (Maybe the dev-ref
would be the appropriate place to document such transition, I’m willing
to propose a patch if it’s worth it.)

Regards

David

Hi Norbert,

> Are you planning to block TeX Live transition for unforeseeable future?

Absolutely not, a fixed d-e-d package will be uploaded in due time. In
the mean time, if you’re in a hurry to see your package reach testing,
feel free to provide back the binary packages you removed (via
convenient dummy transitional packages) instead of breaking any third
party due to their uncoordinated disappearance.

Thanks in advance for considering.

> It is ridiculous that you not even care for *answering*

Apologies about that, it has never been anyone’s intention to ignore
this issue. On the contrary, we even staged a fix a few hours after
Ansgar filled this bug (thank you by the way for the bug and the hint):

P.-S.: transitional packages could be a way to document such disruptive
change, but a note in changelog would have been appreciated.

 Thats a strange name considering it builds and runs on MacOS, Windows,
 Linux, FreeBSD and Haiku.

Seems weird to see another non-library ending up in the pool/main/libr/
directory of our archive (and yet another special case to handle for
tools like deborphan). It would be nice to avoid the lib- prefix for
non-library.

Funny, the only thing I can see in the result is that most people who
took the time to vote (30) prefer bzr-builddeb suggested than
recommended (8).

I suggest that next time you want to discuss relationship of the
packaging-dev package, especially if you don't intend to follow most
people advices or vote, you just skip debian-devel from the discussion.

TIA

There are corner cases where it simply doesn't work as expected (and
some symlinked files are deleted, e.g. #687657).

Thanks for your initiative, but I don't really feel comfortable with the
way you “baptized” it. Would it be possible to avoid religious-based
naming scheme?

Please, prefer advise the following:

Package: *
Pin: release l=Unofficial Multimedia Packages
Pin-Priority: 100

That will also work for any mirror and other specific configurations
using apt-cacher, apt-cacher-ng, etc.

Are translations useful? (was: Bug#661565: ITP: nyancat -- Terminal-based Pop Tart Cat animation)

I thought translations were useful for our users, and that translators
who are working on descriptions were trying to improve the efficiency of
our package management tools and offer our users the ability to choose a
package in a language they can understand. Translators look closely to
descriptions and are able to spot errors: fixing those errors also
improve the quality for all our English speaking users.

So no, “translators [are not] held in a labor camp”, but undervaluing
their work (“because it's fun for them”) seems rude, at least. We were
able to release Squeeze with an installation system fully available in
70 languages. The debconf templates are also heavily translated, and we
should be able to release Wheezy with all packages fully installable in
7 languages [1]. Offering a translated descriptions for all our packages
is currently not an option [2], but I can only value the work of
translators you are working to improve this status.

Are you arguing that translators are not part of the project? In “etc.”,
you can also count the infrastructure, the ftpmasters, the security
team, and many more. See also Steve's answer
