Re: RFS: git-sh
Hello Alex,

Package name: git-sh
Version : 1.0.20100401-1
Upstream Author : Ryan Tomayko (http://tomayko.com/)
URL : http://rtomayko.github.com/git-sh/
License : GNU GPLv2
Section : vcs
It builds these binary packages:
git-sh - a git shell
The package appears to be lintian clean.
The upload would fix these bugs: 590440 (ITP)
My motivation for maintaining this package is:
Git-sh is a handy tool for working in a Git repository. It starts a bash
shell with lots of aliases, completion support, and rich information in $PS1.
This is my first package, I hope I've done a good job. Here is my repository
on GitHub: https://github.com/alex-morega/git-sh/tree/debian
Can you please provide a dgettable source package (maybe via
mentors.debian.net) or use git-buildpackage instead of a bare git
repository? They make easier to build and review your package.
Also note that the watch file of your package is broken: you should replace
'v(.*)\.tar\.gz' with '(.*)\.tar\.gz' to reflect upstream tags. In addition
the version you are packaging (1.0.20100401) does not exists upstream
(which has only version 1.0). These issues make your package to be not
buildable.
If you want to maintain your packages using git, I suggest you to use
git-buildpackage [0] and git.debian.org [1] (you may also want to join
the collab-maint group on alioth [2]).
Apart from this issues, there are some others:
- You are using a deprecated revision of the DEP5 format (current 168) [3]
Also note that tha Maintainer field (Upstream-Maintainer in the newer
revisions) is meant to point to the **upstream** maintainer.
You can use config-edit (from the libconfig-model-perl package) to check
the debian/copyright file, as follows:
config-edit -application dpkg-copyright -ui none
- The upstream license is wrong, should be something like:
[ DEP5 headers ]

- You are using old Standards-Version (current 3.9.1)
- You are including not modified README.source (you can just remove it)
- You should remove unneeded comments from the rules file
- You may also integrate your patches with the DEP3 guidelines [4] (if you
use git-pq(1) shipped with git-buildpackage, this is done automatically)
- The upstream CHANGES file is installed automatically by
dh_installchangelogs, you dont need to install it with dh_installdocs
Please note that I'm not a DD so I can't sponsor your package.
Cheers :)

Re: RFS: webhoneypot
Hi, Christian Pohl w...@pohlcity.de writes: ---snip--- Where does trunk/update/update-templates.php store updated files? Does it overwrite files contained in the package with newer versions? ---snap--- it will overwrite files in the templates dir if a new version of this file is on the server (See README.debian) That is a policy violation: /usr is the second major section of the filesystem. /usr is shareable, read-only data. That means that /usr should be shareable between various FHS-compliant hosts and must not be written to. Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere.[1] You likely want to store the templates in /var. Also take care that updated templates are not overwritten when the package is updated. [1] file:///usr/share/doc/debian-policy/fhs/fhs-2.3.txt.gz ---snip--- I see that update-templates.php does verify the integrity of the update... ---snap--- yes all files are verified (See README.debian) The code still doesn't seem to do so. ---snip--- Please split the patch in debian/patches (if necessary) and give it a sensible name. New files (manpages, example configuration) can also be shipped in debian/ instead of in a patch. ---snap--- debian/patch is automatically build by debuild. (e.g manpages are in debian/webhoneypot.manpages which is read by dh_installman) You can still use quilt to create a patch with a sensible name. Or follow my second suggestion.

XDM-OPTIONS beta 2 - need testers / feedback
I need help getting feedback for good install people won't have problems with. http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdm-options/ Debian Dpkg is great I love it but I'm F'ed as rules don't cover this install scenario. (does NOT suggest other apps be removed or depend on anything (but X of course) but must be default-display-manager. Also I'd like to announce the release. But X Display Manager. Xhost Phonebook, X Login, X Desktop Chooser, and XDM X server (vnc server). Easy install, Clean uninstall (X up when done). Highly compatible, no libs. Like gdm but different in goals and features. Great as primary or as a backup. I'd esp. Love any ideas for determining where X is installed on *any* given unix rather than just one / one version (other than xmkmf / done). Being replacement for xdm sample scripts the install should be simple. However when you bring in packaging for debian, redhat, kubuntu, into the picture it becomes a real pain no? thank you thank you, John Hendrickson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
