Though there are a few things to address before uploading. The largest ones are around the watch file and upstream tarball: The watch file as provided seems to have an issue with the regex used for filenamemangle and fails to download the upstream tarball. Running uscan errors out with: uscan warn: stop mangling: rule="s%(?:.*?)?v?(\d[\d.]*)\.tar\.gz%simple-obfs-$1.tar.gz%"" rule doesn't match "(s|tr|y)%.*%.*%[a-z]*" (or similar). uscan warn: In debian/watch, potentially unsafe or malformed filenamemangle pattern: 's%(?:.*?)?v?(\d[\d.]*)\.tar\.gz%simple-obfs-$1.tar.gz%"' found.

Referring to the README.md and manpages isn't all that useful as the user would likely not have the package installed. The description should help a user understand what purpose the package serves but does not need to get into usage details. - The control file does not contain Vcs-* [1] fields. [1] Also, while it is not a hard requirement, using Debian infrastructure (i.e. git.debian.org) rather than GitHub would be prefered. - If desired, targeting unstable would be fine as this is a new package and will not cause issues with getting changes into testing.

Though, I ran into a few issues that need to be fixed first. Hello Andrew, Thanks for your response. I've marked the package as no need for a sponsor, but your feedback is very welcome. Perhaps my discussions with Sebastian should've been Cc'ed to this bug. No worries. Less work for me! 1) You seem to maintain the packaging in a VCS: Since I'm joining the python application packaging team, I'll be moving to SVN. I'm probably going to import the last uploaded version (1.20-1 or 1.1?) to svn.debian.org with this command: $ svn import -m New import roundup \ svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/python-apps/packages/roundup/trunk Would that do the right thing? I presume I now have access to svn.debian.org, being in the team listing on Alioth? Would you know that? If you don't know, I'll ask on the debian-python listing. You can use svn-inject. It will take care of creating the needed directories and such. Take a look here: https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/PythonAppsPackagingTeam/HowTo 2) There are minified version of JQuery and Bootstrap located in: share/roundup/templates/jinja2/static Thanks. I'm aware of that; Sebastian pointed this out too. I've already posted upstream to ask them to include a non-minified version. For 1.5.0 I'm a bit in the dark on how to proceed. Can I remove those files, and ship a symlink to jquery and bootstrap packages? Or should I make a full-fledged _dfsg.tgz file, and build from that? IMHO, I'd go ahead and create a DFSG tarball removing them. This can now be automated with the latest version of uscan. See here: https://wiki.debian.org/UscanEnhancements As you already remove other copies of JQuery in other templates, you probably already know that you should use the system copies. Additionally, minified JavaScript objects that are installed with the binary package must be built from source. Same goes for the minified Bootstrap css files in that directory. Ah. css too. Sometimes I think its less work to let upstream build a package, and let it drop from debian. I know the feeling, but I'd encourage you not to give up! Also, as long as these files are shipped in the tarball, their license information needs to be documented in debian/copyright. Ouch. They are using bootstrap 2.2.2. That tarfile is not downloadable from getbootstrap.com anymore, so I can only guess that this was licenced under Apache 2.0. Would that be enough? Sure. The file header reads: * Bootstrap v2.2.2 * * Copyright 2012 Twitter, Inc * Licensed under the Apache License v2.0 * http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 Also it seems to still be available on their github: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/releases/tag/v2.2.2 -- Andrew Starr-Bochicchio Ubuntu Developer https://launchpad.net/~andrewsomething Debian Developer http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=asb PGP/GPG Key ID: D53FDCB1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi Kai,
I came across your package on mentors, and I am interested in
sponsoring it. Though, I ran into a few issues that need to be fixed
first.
1) You seem to maintain the packaging in a VCS:
* Move to git-dpm packaging
In that case, it is very useful to include Vcs-{Git, Svn, Bzr} and
Vcs-Browser fields in debian/control:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-VCS-fields
2) There are minified version of JQuery and Bootstrap located in:
share/roundup/templates/jinja2/static
As you already remove other copies of JQuery in other templates, you
probably already know that you should use the system copies.
Additionally, minified JavaScript objects that are installed with the
binary package must be built from source. Same goes for the minified
Bootstrap css files in that directory.
Also, as long as these files are shipped in the tarball, their license
information needs to be documented in debian/copyright.
3) You seemed to remove some necessary bits from your postrm to clean
up when purging the package. From piuparts:
3m20.5s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
/etc/roundup/ owned by: roundup
/etc/roundup/service/ not owned
/etc/roundup/service/log/ not owned
3m20.5s ERROR: FAIL: Installation, upgrade and purging tests.
There maybe further issues. This is just as far as I got. I'd be happy
to do a closer review and hopefully sponsor the package once these
problems are fixed.
Thanks for your work on Debian!

But all that's a bit nit-picky.

That way the ftp-masters don't need to spend time figuring out why it doesn't close an ITP. Again, mostly nitpicking... I'd be happy to upload both packages after the watch files are fixed/provided.

So, I can now actually sponsor the upload myself. I my previous message, I suggested maintaining bzrtools as part of the team.

You'll also want to subscribe to the mailing list. [3] It's fairly low traffic. Now, finally onto the reviewing the package itself. These are all very small issues, but now would be a great time to clean up the package. 1) bzrtools (2.5+bzr786-4) unstable; urgency=low You don't actually need to bump the version number for uploads to mentors. The version only needs to change for uploads that actually enter Debian.

I see it regularly that sponsors do little modifications of packages before uploading them. They may fix spelling errors, fix formatting, do cosmetic fixes and so on before uploading a package. Typically they do so to save both parties some time, as they would like to avoid the usual ping-pong game which goes like if you fix X, Y, Z I will upload your package, wait for a response and a new package and start looking again. Instead they just do such minor changes, upload and send the sponsored people a debdiff/git patch or whatever. Typically they do not add such changes to debian/changelog though and I think that's all fine. Just for comparison, in Ubuntu this is common practice especially for when sponsoring very new contributors. Of course, for better or worse, the concept of strong individual maintainership doesn't apply there and this is generally when patching an existing package not adding a new package to the archive. Personally, I feel that when adding a new package to the archive it can actually be very useful to make the contributor jump through all the hoops so they understand the level of responsibly involved with becoming a package maintainer. If you're sponsoring say a NMU RC bug fix, and there is some minor issue (like perhaps unnecessarily bumping the standards version or a typo in the changelog), I'd say go ahead make the change, upload, and then describe exactly why you had to do what you did so the contributor will know next time.

Re: RFS: trash-cli
On Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 7:30 AM, Stefano Karapetsas stef...@karapetsas.com wrote: Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package trash-cli. I talked with Steve Stalcup (the current maintainer, but he's not a DD), with Andrew Starr-Bochicchio (who packaged trash-cli previously on mentors) and with Andrea Francia (the upstream author) and I packaged the latest upstream git snapshot of trash-cli (it's stable). Hi Stefano, Thanks for working on this. trash-cli is a very useful package, and it's always depressing when an upstream maintainer has to discourage Debian users from using the packaged version due to it being old/containing bugs already fixed upstream. I hope you have better luck finding a sponsor than I did when trying to update this. A few comments though... As the names of the binaries have changed, I think a debian/NEWS entry is called for in the case people are using it in scripts. Here is some suggested language: The names of the binaries provided by this package have been changed upstream. Both the old command and its corresponding new command are provided below for your convenience. Please update any usage in scripts accordingly. Old command: New command: - trash- trash-put - empty-trash - trash-empty - list-trash - trash-list - restore-trash - trash-restore It would be nice to point the watch file somewhere useful if we're already updating the package. Assuming future releases will happen on github: version=3 http://githubredir.debian.net/github/andreafrancia/trash-cli (.*).tar.gz Bug #593104 was fixed upstream and could be closed in the changelog. You also fix Bug #510043, and should close it. Though, you should use X-Python-Version rather than XS-Python-Version.

The last few releases have had a number of issues that I've had to work around regarding the upstream tarball being messy. Attached is a filtered debdiff that should hopefully make this easier to review. I suppose I could repack the source, and drop my work-a-rounds in the packaging if a potential sponsor wanted. Also upstream now has its own debian/ directory. If they want to distribute packages on their own, they should probably base their work on your current package (which is much better than what upstream has right now).

RFS: trash-cli (NMU)
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for a NMU of the package trash-cli. This
upload will close a number of open bugs in the package. The maintainer
has been too busy to update the package, but he has given approval for
a NMU. (Update bug is CCed, so please speak up if you see something
you're not happy with Steve.)
I've attached a debdiff filtered to only show packaging changes for
easier review.
To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/trash-cli
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/trash-cli/trash-cli_0.11.3-r315-0.1.dsc
Here is the complete changelog entry for this upload:
trash-cli (0.11.3-r315-0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-Maintainer Upload.
* New upstream release (Closes: #550074).
- Output of 'df' misinterpreted on non-english systems or
systems using long device names (Closes: #493212).
- Debian version of trash-cli contains a serious bug that
could create data loss (Closes: #593104).
* Convert from deprecated python-support to dh_python2.
- Drop pycompat and pyversions files.
- Set X-Python-Version filed in debian/control to = 2.5 (Closes: #510043).
- Set DEB_PYTHON2_MODULE_PACKAGES in debian/rules.
- Versionize build dependencies on cdbs (= 0.4.90~) and
python (= 2.6.6-3~).
* Drop debian/manpages/* in favor of new upstream manpages.
* Convert to source format 3.0 (quilt). This was done even though this is a
NMU as patches are added and CDBS' simple-patchsys is deprecated.
* debian/patches/manpage-typos.patch:
- Fixes typos in empty-trash.1 (Closes: #611689). Thanks to Oohara Yuuma.
- Make sure command names in man pages reflect reality.
* debian/patches/manpage-install-path.patch:
- Install manpages into the correct location.
* Update debian/watch for move from Source Forge to Google Code.
* debian/control:
- Depend on ${misc:Depends}.
- Update homepage field.
- Add new dependency on python-unipath.
- Add build dependency on python-setuptools.
* Add debian/NEWS documenting the change in command names.
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Kind regards,

Yet, you only depend on python. You need python-all.

help...
You have an override_dh_auto_test target in your rules file as well.
Unfortunately, this will cause

It builds those binary packages:
blogofile - Static website compiler and blog engine
blogofile-converters - Blog converter collection for Blogofile
I'm not a DD, so I can't actually sponsor this. It sounds like an
interesting package, so I did a quick review. Building in a clean sid
chroot, I get this lintian error from the produced binary package:

Looking at DEBIAN/control in the resulting deb confirms that there is
no direct python dependency for blogofile. Reading over the log file
reveals that dh_python2 is never actually run. It took me awhile to
figure it out, but it seems you have a one character typo. Your rules
file has:
%:
dh $@ --buildsystem=python_distutils --with-python2
It should be:
%:
dh $@ --buildsystem=python_distutils --with python2
Notice, no hyphen between with and python.

If we were to change the RFS template, what could we change it to in order to encourage accuracy and for people to actually use lintian and fix any issues found. Hi, sbuild can run lintian and include its results plus a parsable pseudo-RFC-822 field to indicate if the built package passes the test or not. The RFS template could recommend to publish build logs including such iformation.

Dear Cristian, it is a latent bug that will make your package fail to build if intltool stops depending on automake or if automake stops depending on autotools-dev. Your package should build-depend on what it needs, regardless if some of these dependancies are also satisfied on a second or higher order by other packages. Well, I don't see where he uses autotools-dev at all. He doesn't update config.sub and config.guess manually or with the debhelper or CDBS helpers. What else is autotools-dev used for? I suppose if anything, it's automake that is not directly depending on but should. (Though the likelihood of dh-autoreconf ever not depending on automake seems slim.)

It seems like he might be willing to hand over the parcellite sourceforge project. Though clipit is a better name. Well, on his last post on http://parcellite.sf.net/ the original programmer said that he'd encourage people to _fork_ the program, I didn't see him mentioning that he would want to hand over the project, that is why I never even thought about this possibility. Of course I have mailed him before making my first release and asked him if he was ok with the fact that I forked the program and in his reply he also didn't mention anything about taking over parcellite, so like I said, I didn't think about this possibility. If you want, I could mail him again asking if he'd be interested to do that, but tbqh I find the name ClipIt better too, probably because I came up with it... :-D OK. I was just wondering if you had contacted him. If he didn't suggest it, then there's probably no need to pursue that any further. I just made a new upstream release to fix a couple of open issues and have updated the debian package on mentors.debian.net to the latest version (1.3.4). I've build and tested this version, and overall it looks great. It's lintian clean, builds fine, and functions as expected. One small thing I noticed was that the Build-Depends in debian/control on autotools-dev seems unnecessary. I can build the package without it in a clean sid chroot. Thanks!

Because you are the maintainer of the project I have forked my work from, I have been told by the debian mentors to contact you asking if you were interested in sponsoring/co-maintaining this program. I am not sure what details you'd need, but if you are interested please let me know and also tell me what exactly you want to know and I can provide any information. Hi, Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for the ping Niels. Apparently I need to refine my gmail filters, your original mail got hidden away deep in a folder. Excuses, excuses, excuses. I'd be happy to help co-maintain this package with you if you'd like. Unfortunately, I am not a Debian Developer myself. I maintain my packages through sponsorship, so I can't sponsor it myself. I don't have time to do a thorough review of the package right now. Today is a holiday here in the States. Though, any potential sponsor shouldn't block on me. If we feel the need to Replace the parcellite package with clipit this can be done in a future upload. My one question would be, have you tried to contact parcellite's upstream maintainer? It seems like he might be willing to hand over the parcellite sourceforge project. Though clipit is a better name. I'll try to get around to looking a the package more closely tomorrow, but please don't block on me. I feel bad enough that I missed this email for so long.
