quick-lounge-applet, must I contact debian-release?
Hi, I'm very new in this and the maintainer of quick-lounge-applet. quick-lounge-applet is in freeze, the version in testing is 2.12.1 and in unstable 2.12.5. The new version doesn't fix any major bug. Must I contact debian-relase to request the package update? Thanks! -- Diego Fernández Durán [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.goedi.net GPG : 925C 9A21 7A11 3B13 6E43 50DB F579 D119 90D2 66BB -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

No, and if you did your request would probably be denied (freeze exceptions are for bug fixes, not general updates). Lenny will have 2.12.1, the new version will have to wait until Lenny+1. -- Eduardo M Kalinowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: RFS: salasaga (updated package)
* Iulian Udrea [EMAIL PROTECTED] [080919 17:03]: I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 0.8.0~alpha4-1 of my package salasaga. Your build system will run autogen and configure multiple times. Please make build depend on the appropiate patch-stamp file instead of patch directly and do not make it phony (usual way it to make it a build-stamp target, create build-stamp file at the end and make build simply depend on build-stamp). I've currently no sid system with enough build-depends available to test, but your clean target really looks like not cleaning enough. Please try to run dpkg-buildpackage -S after a dpkg-buildpackage and look at the .diff.gz, I'd be suprised if there weren't a myriad of additional files in there (at least I see nothing removing Makefile or Makefile.in and stuff like that). Your debian/copyright states it is LGPLv3 but does not point to the copy of the license in /usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-3. You do not list the copyright holders of intl/ (17692 lines in .c files is not little), ide/font_outline/ArevCopyright.txt lists a copyright holder not found in there, and perhaps other files, too... Also having the package under LGPL 3 and the debianisation under GPL 2 looks strange to problematic to me... I've only looked at debian/rules and debian/copyright, other files might have other problems... Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R.

Re: ITR: elfrc
Hi, Krzysztof Burghardt wrote: I am looking for a sponsor for my package elfrc. here it comes to my comments about your package. Please note that this might not be a complete list of possible issues or wishes about your package. As sponsoring is an iterative process I will continue to tell you things, once you've changed those which are mentioned below. - debian/copyright: 1) The copyright of Frerich Raabe does not contain every copyright year. I found at least one different year, which should be listed aswell. 2) The string '(C)' has no legal meaning in some parts of this world. You should replace it with the © character. 3) The reference to the file in /u/s/common-licenses is wrong, because the license in elfrc is *not* a 3-clause BSD license, while the on in /u/s/common-licences is. The license block should therefore include the full license. Apart from this: Its not exactly clear weither the package is your work, or the work of Kumar Appaiah or the work of you both. Probably you want to remove the mark of Kumar Appaiah in the changelog, add your copyright to debian/copyright and note therein that your work is based on the work of Kumar Appaiah (if that is the case). - debian/rules: You could use install -D in your rules file, to also create the directory you are installing to. This way you could get rid of debian/dirs and the dh_installdirs call in it. But thats not neccessarily needed. Apart from this the call to dh_installexamples is not needed, because your package does not include any. The same is true for dh_link. Thats it for now. Once you've got the above issues fixed, I'll have another look at the package and possibly upload it.

Actually, I've had debpool uploaded to mentors but later pulled it to fix some issues and just didn't go around to putting it back in mentors again til' now. Here is my report: * debian/changelog - line 49, fashion (typo); maybe give a run if spellcheck in the rest of the changelog entry :) - + Removed 'binary-arch' target in debian/rules to silence new lintian warning.: well, the target is still there, but it's empty (as it should be) so please adjust this entry (just for clarity) - + Added Joel Aelwyn in Uploaders field. but it's not in debian/control * debian/control - DM-Upload-Allowed: yes, don't take this too bad, but this field is usually added but your usual sponsor, so please remove it (for now) :) - Process incoming packages using Inotify (requires liblinux-inotify2-perl) but liblinux-inotify2-perl it's in Depends (so always installed) so why mention it in the description (I can understand for the others, though)? - bump versioned depends on debhlper (as lintian suggests; do you run lintian, right?) - personally I'd add Build-Depends-Indep: perl to control, even if perl if Build-Essential: yes * debian/copyright - if you're using http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat then I think it's missing (at least) Format-Specification: field - $ grep 2004 bin/debpool # Copyright 2003-2004 Joel Baker. All rights reserved. but it's not in debian/copyright file; please fix this * not a problem, just a notice: since you have only one binary package, you can remove the package name from debhelper support filename, like in debpool.docs it might be only docs * debian/README.User - 1.: what about adding a \ at the end of first command line, so even pasting from the doc directly will lead to a correct command? - 1. and 2.: in the first example you don't say that you need root account to create a new system user, and in the second you use sudo that might not be set-up to execute all command for the current user; I'd uniform those example to a safer bet: use root (?) - 3. Create a logfile directory for debpool is /var/log/debpool a directory or a logfile? because sudo touch will create a file... - 4. Edit /etc/debpool/Config.pm is this editable by debpool users? how is it supposed to setup a local repo and have his own config file? * debian/rules - clean target, what about mergin rm -f ... call to dh_clean call (they do the same stuff...)? - dh_installexamples examples/* but $ cat debian/debpool.examples examples/* * is this upload really targetted to experimental? is there a plan to upload in unstable anytime soon, or it's a decision you took to leave the package in exp? * I'm wondering if DebPool::Config.5 it's the best name possible for manpage for config file, maybe something more debpool-friendly, but I'll leave the decision to you :) I didn't have time to play for real with the program, but it builds fine in pbuilder and install without problem; tomorrow I'll play with it.
