Bug#724757: RFS: dxsamples/4.2.0-2 [ITA] -- Sample programs for the OpenDX Data Explorer
I am going to move the symlinks into the dx package and also add suggests on libdx4-dev (or dx-dev), libhdf4|5 (needed by one of the samples) and possibly others to the dxsamples package. I only added the suggests on libdx4-dev, libhdf4*-dev and others are in turn suggested by libdx4-dev. Because of the symlinks move, it makes sense to upload dx and dxsamples at the same time. There are still some changes I want to make in dx which should be ready in a couple of days' time. I have completed the changes in dx (getting dxexec to run on kfreebsd) and I think both packages are now ready for sponsoring. http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/dxsamples.git http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/dx.git

Bug#723804: new version phabricator/0.1~git20131005-1
A new version of the package is now available and doesn't have warnings anymore. Thanks to the help of the developers and a new upstream commit, executable-not-elf-or-script warnings vanished and should now be catch before commits. I'm now waiting for someone to sponsor the package. :) Regards, Le 05/10/2013 03:51, Richard Sellam a écrit : Hello, A new version (0~20131004-1) has been uploaded to mentors: https://mentors.debian.net/package/phabricator About the comments: 1 to 6 have been done. a get-orig-source target was implemented. about 7: it doesn't look like libphp-phpmailer will be enough, since phabricator has also a class.phpmailer-lite.php file in there (used by some scripts) that is not present in the libphp-phpmailer debian package... File permissions warning is most probably caused by wrong rights on the git repository and i'm still not sure how to fix that. about 8 and 9: i kept all externals since they look highly integrated in the rest of the code and i'm kind of scared of breaking things by putting them somewhere else on the system. I'll leave it that way since they're really small and i don't really have time to test everything in phabricator to guarantee there will be no impact. Phabricator is a continuous release with a lot of changes from one week to another. I've been following it since february and they're not kidding when they say it's under active development! There is no way to support this like a stable version and backport patches for now. The best that can be done is to upgrade to the latest version (hence a new package version). Fortunately phabricator reacts great to updates. Repackaging doesn't need a lot of time so i can manage to do it. Of course, i'll be able to maintain the package if they release a stable version one day. I hope this is clear, Regards, Le 03/10/2013 22:51, Luke Faraone a écrit : Dear future maintainer, On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 11:41:32PM +0200, Richard Sellam wrote: * Package name: phabricator Version : 0.1~git20130909-1 As discussed on IRC, you probably want to use 0.0~... or 0~... as the start of the version number. Some other comments: 1. Your description could use some wordsmithing. Specifically, the homepage can be omitted. Explaining that this is a code snapshot may also be beneficial. 2. Please drop the Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser lines or correct them to be the valid links for the VCS repository corresponding to the packaging. 3. As a nit: it would be advisable to license debian/* under the same terms as upstream, even though this is not a strict requirement. 4. Reference the version of the Apache License in common-licenses from debian/copyright rather than including the license in the package. 5. Please remove libphutil/src/parser/xhpast/bin/xhpast.exe from the upstream tarball. 6. Since you're already creating the upstream tarball, please either implement a get-orig-source target in debian/rules, or document how the tarball was constructed in debian/README.source. You may find it helpful to include the git ref used to build the tool in the package version. 7. Please fix all of the lintian errors marked Warning that are listed athttps://mentors.debian.net/package/phabricator. The first one (embedded library) could probably be fixed by switching to libphp-phpmailer. 8. Please see whether the things in /usr/share/phabricator/externals can be removed from Phabricator and the appropriate package depended on instead. 9. Please expand debian/copyright to ensure you document the license of all software in the source tarball. If you don't use something in phabricator/externals (because you've done №8), feel free to strip it out of the upstream tarball as long as you document it according to №6. Since Phabricator is a continuous release, are you comfortable backporting security and bug fixes to stable, if the package were accepted? Cheers,

Of course one can change the source and recompile, but the new binary wont have the SGID set (I suppose). And it is much more difficult to download a source, change the program, recompile, etc., than just let some curious user use vi, or nano, or rm command. Isn't that so? Thanks man.

I did check on this with the previous maintainer and I intend to get the opinion of debian-legal on how to proceed. It may be possible to simply remove the offending example and release the new version. What I intended you to do is to state the above also in bug 412811, so that it is clear for people looking at that bug report. And when you communicate with debian-legal, make sure the bug is in CC. And could you please at least comment on bug 173709 (crashing examples). (moreinfo unreproducible are possible tags). Might even belong in dx instead of dxsamples. I did have a brief look at this and found there is a small number of samples that require scripts to be run or interactors to be built first. One of the samples in the bug report, supervise/complexdemo, is one of these. It may be that the reporter did not follow the instructions in the Readme. Same as above, please post this information to that bug report. And don't forget that follow ups to bug reports don't automatically go to the submitter. I have often made that mistake before somebody told me. dxsamples includes two symlinks: usr/share/dx/samplesusr/lib/dx/samples usr/share/dx/javausr/lib/dx/java These directories don't exist, am I (and lintian) right? So why do you even want these symlinks? Speculating now, but maybe this was something from the past. I feel it would be better if these were moved to the dx package as dx is only recommended by dxsamples Does that seem reasonable? If we still need them, yes. Else just drop them. But you forgot to Breaks: dxsamples ( 4.2.0-2) Replaces: dxsamples ( 4.2.0-2) in dx. See policy 7.6.1 [1] [1] http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces For the small number of samples that require interactors to be built, I feel that dxsamples needs a suggests on libdx4-dev or the virtual package dx-dev. Does that seem reasonable, and which is preferred? As you provide dx-dev, I prefer that, but I can live with your current choice. Paul signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

race condition
Dear mentors,
After implementing the score (using SGID), I have a race condition in my game.
The comparisson is between the just scored point with the last point
in the top-10.
readscore_file2memory();
If(pttop[9])
{
printf(Congrats... and stuff\n);
reorderscore_memory();
savescore_memory2file();
}
What would be the standard way to lock the scorefile?
No need for too much details. Just to point the general most accepted solution.
Thanks!
Beco.
