 Dear mentors,

   I am looking for a sponsor for my package ledgersmb

 * Package name: ledgersmb
   Version : 1.3.46-1
   Upstream Author :  Chris Travers ch...@metatrontech.com
 * URL : http://www.ledgersmb.org
 * License : GPL-2+
   Section : web

 It builds those binary packages:

 ledgersmb  - financial accounting and ERP program


 Just a few small questions/comments from skimming through the debdiff:

 - You added a small dpkg-maintscript-helper snippet to
 debian/ledgersmb.postrm, specifically checking if dpkg is new enough
 to support mv_conffile before using it; what happens if dpkg isn't
 sufficiently new enough to support that / is that something that
 should just fail?
 You can simply add a Pre-Depends:
 ${misc:Pre-Depends} (which will add a pre-dependency on the
 appropriate version of dpkg)

  That would do that simply because that form of it (mv_conffile) is
used in the mantainer scripts?


 if you want to use
 dpkg-maintscript-helper and not have to worry about whether dpkg is
 new enough (and avoid that if dpkg-maintscript-helper supports
 mv_conffile logic).

 That version doesn't quite go back far enough for where I may want to
support the package.  Although it's getting less likely to be an issue
over time.  I'll admit I haven't needed to help with support on
squeeze or lucid recently;   are you thinking that I'm worrying too
much about a situation that isn't very likely and that would need to
be supported differently in any case? (For instance, a separate
backport for it, if necessary.)



 - Why bump the version number in debian/NEWS when there isn't a new
 entry, and nothing else in the file has changed aside from the
 timestamp? That seems likely to just annoy apt-listchanges users.

   To ensure that it is taken as being current and will be seen again
as necessary.  (I've corresponded  with people who didn't look at it
until I pointed it out that the info was there.)



 Also, note that since Debian is in freeze right now, if you wish to
 target unstable, any (RC) bugfix uploads that you wish to get into
 jessie would then have to go through testing-proposed-updates (which
 the release team apparently really doesn't like). Are you sure you're
 ok with that?

None of the three bugs I'm seeking to close with this upload are RC,
so I had not anticipated being able to update the package in jessie in
any case.   (The new package upgrade I'm working on now involves an
upgrade from v1.3.x to v1.4.x;  this upgrade for 1.3.46 is currently
the last in the 1.3.46 series.)

Bug#773611: RFS: histring/1.1.1-1 [ITP] - general purpose highlighting tool

2015-01-03 Thread Jakub Wilk

I don't intend to sponsor this package, but here's my review:

* Tong Sun suntong...@users.sourceforge.net, 2015-01-02, 15:38:

http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/h/histring/histring_1.1.1-1.dsc


Typos:

warrented - warranted
neccessary - necessary
hilighting - highlighting
bolded - emboldened [I'm not sure about this one]
expresstions - expressions
markerns - markers
compilied - compiled

Copyright information for at least getopt* is missing from d/copyright.

You build-depend on autotools-dev, but don't actually use it any way 
(AFAICS).


Please rebuild the configure script from source. You might want to use 
dh-autoreconf for this purpose.


How was your .orig.tar generated? It is different than the one uscan 
downloads.


I am allergic to the debianize verb, and also wonder why two items are 
needed in the changelog... So I'd like to propose to replace them both 
with this one:


 * Initial release (closes: #759166).

What is the purpose of your debian/source/options? It doesn't seem 
necessary to me.


The explicit clean target in debian/rules doesn't look very useful to me 
either.

I am starting from scratch. Nevertheless, I keep an eye on the GIT
to avoid unnecessary discontinuity.

My material will deposit there once it is decent.

 
 I have just realised that the Singular CLI is built static (by default):
 I am very surprised because I expected a (regular) dynamic built.

 Does anyone know the reasons for building a static version rather than a 
 dynamic
 version of the Singular CLI ?
 May Debian provide both ?
 
 Linking binaries against other libraries from other sources should usually be
 dynamic (unless there is a good reason for the opposite). Linking
 against libraries from the same source does not really matter.
 
 Producing libraries gets more complicated. (And AFAIR sage actually
 needs a dynamic library of singular).

Agree.
Nonetheless, in the current upstream source, it is explicitly built static.

Never mind, it will come dynamic for Debian.


Cheers,
Jerome

 much about a situation that isn't very likely and that would need to
 be supported differently in any case? (For instance, a separate
 backport for it, if necessary.)

I suggest one of three different options (preferably options 2 or 3,
whichever is most appropriate):

1) check if dpkg-maintscript-helper supports mv_conffile and then use
that, otherwise fallback to handwritten logic to rename the conffile
(see [1], or look at how dpkg-maintscript-helper itself is
implemented)
2) pre-depend on a sufficiently recent version of dpkg such that
mv_conffile is always known to be supported
3) don't rename the conffile at all (if it's not necessary)

My concern is that what you're currently doing seems to be a mix of
options 1 and 3, which is possibly worse than any of them, since the
outcome of running your maintainer scripts will differ depending on
what version of dpkg the user already has installed. You either always
want the conffile to be renamed, or you never want the conffile
renamed; I can't think of a valid scenario where you want to rename a
conffile if and only if dpkg supports renaming that conffile.

 - Why bump the version number in debian/NEWS when there isn't a new
 entry, and nothing else in the file has changed aside from the

To ensure that it is taken as being current and will be seen again
 as necessary.  (I've corresponded  with people who didn't look at it
 until I pointed it out that the info was there.)

That seems like something that should go in a readme file, or a
low-priority debconf notice at most. debian/NEWS is essentially meant
to be a more visible user changelog that's used to notify the user of
significant changes [2], not a recurring, identical message that is
displayed every time the user updates this package. That being said,
there's nothing in Policy that prevents maintainers from (ab)using
debian/NEWS for different purposes, so I guess ultimately it's up to
you as maintainer.

Also, AFAIK apt-listchanges isn't installed by default on Debian, so
users aren't guaranteed to see your NEWS entry anyways.

 Also, note that since Debian is in freeze right now, if you wish to
 target unstable, any (RC) bugfix uploads that you wish to get into
 jessie would then have to go through testing-proposed-updates (which
 the release team apparently really doesn't like). Are you sure you're

 upgrade from v1.3.x to v1.4.x;  this upgrade for 1.3.46 is currently
 the last in the 1.3.46 series.)

Ok, sounds fine to me then (please address the
maintscript/conffile-renaming issue though).

Vincent

Here's a quick review (this is in addtion to the other reviews that
have already been done on python-instagram):

- X-Python-Version and X-Python3-Version belong in the source stanza
in d/control, not in the binary packages stanzas
- instead of having an empty watch file, you can point it to PyPI
instead, i.e. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-instagram
- there's been a new upstream release that you may want to consider packaging

Team-maintaining this package in the DPMT and using a more permissive
license for debian/* were both already mentioned in earlier reviews as
well.

Vincent

   * Standards-Version bumped to 3.9.6

This is just a very brief review:

Can you also adopt lletters-media at the same time? That package is
orphaned and is a dependency of lletters. Would you consider
team-maintaining this package in the Debian Games team [1] as well?
You'll generally find it easier to find sponsors within a team.

I'm mostly concerned about the size of some of your patches in
debian/patches; it makes your package hard to review, and they're
probably obsolete as well (e.g. what's the purpose of
debian/patches/debian-changes-0.1.95+gtk2-3.2.patch when you're
running autoreconf during the build?).

While reviewing lletters, I discovered that Markus put together a
minimal, easy-to-review debdiff to fix various bugs in lletters in
#749360, so I'll go ahead and upload that first (just so we can get
some RC bugs fixed and out of our way, and so you can focus on the
packaging bits that you'd like to change). Hope that helps!

Vincent

 Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

   dget -x 
 http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xastir/xastir_2.0.6-1.dsc

 Changes since the last upload:

   * Update to new upstream version (Closes: #761837)
   * Update to 3.9.6 packaging standard.
   * Changed priority to optional.
   * Corrected Maintainer: line in control file.
   * Removed uploaders inactive on the package.
   * Package source now maintained in Hamradio Maintainers' git VCS.


Here's a quick review of your package:

Were the uploaders that you removed from d/control asked to be removed
by the MIA team, or declare publicly (e.g. on a bug or mailing list)
that they wish to be removed? If not, please don't unilaterally remove
people from uploaders; go through the MIA process [1] and have the MIA
team ensure that the uploaders in question are indeed inactive before
removing them.

A number of issues with debian/copyright:
- GPL version not specified
- copyright owners+dates not specified
- 2) Some of the programs in the scripts directory may contain other
licensing information.  See the individual files for details.
wouldn't pass ftpmaster scrutiny

You may want to consider updating d/copyright to use DEP-5 while
you're fixing the above issues.

Regards,
Vincent

Hi Daniel,

I've uploaded both packages to the archive; sorry that nobody else
seems to have taken a look at your packages at all since you filed
these RFSs back in July!

Just a few nitpicks about greekocr4gamera: it could use a
standards-version bump, and debian/patches/fsf_address.diff looks like
it could be forwarded upstream; I'm not sure why it's marked as
Forwarded: not-needed.
